A/N:
I totally forgot about the disclaimer. I don't own Twilight or anything to do with it. That's all Stephenie Meyer and her awesome dreams. Why don't regular people have those dreams? Maybe she really is Bella- lucky her.
I attended band camp every day, for ten days. It was hot and I could barely keep my eyes open. We all had sunburns, including me- who knew half-vampires could sunburn? We learned the whole first movement and had all of the music memorized. At the end of our agony, the entire band was to put on a performance for the friends and family of band members.
We had band rehearsal Saturday morning, and then got ready to perform. We were changing into our show shirts.
Eli and I had become great friends and he wanted to meet my parents at the meeting after the performance, but that wasn't going to happen. They would just embarrass me, at least Dad would. I think I have a crush on Eli, but I'm not sure.
One day, on our lunch break, Jacob, Eli, Hannah, and I were eating lunch outside then had come back inside. Jake and I were talking in one side of the cubby room and this annoying Freshman named Race asked if Jake and I were going out and if I liked him and he liked me. I, of course, immediately said no. It pained me to say so but it was the truth. Jacob never gave an answer though.
The band ran through what we knew and then the parents all met in the band room for a meeting. Basically, it was a welcome and they paid for all the different accessories needed. Grandma and Grandpa were my parents for this.
My dad and I were on our way home from my performance. Mom had left with me Grandparents to give us some Daddy- Daughter time and Jacob was in his car on his way to his house here in Wasilla.
"Do you know that guy with the huge earrings in his ears?" my father asked inquisitively.
"Yeah, that's Chris." I replied, trying to sound nonchalant.
"Who would let their child do that to themselves?" Dad said, shaking his head, "I mean, he might like it now, but what happens when he is forty and has saggy holes in his ears. Good thing we won't be around to see that." my father's last sentence shocked me. I would be gone in five or six years. I would never get to see my classmates grow up, get married, or anything. It really brought me down to Earth.
My dad turned to me, "Renesmee, I heard your thoughts about Eli. I want you to know that it's perfectly normal to feel this way towards a boy."
"Dad, let me handle this. I really don't want to have some kind of father-daughter talk about guys." I replied.
"I just want you to know that if you ever have a question that you can come to me. I won't say anything else, I swear." He said, turning back to the road. That wasn't weird at all.
Thursday, my first day of high school, it was pouring rain outside. Most people would look at that as a bad omen or something, but I took it as a good sign since I love weather. I think it was like Earth telling me everything was going to work out.
As I got out of bed, I noticed Alice had laid out my clothing for the day. I night or might not have critiqued it a little. I moussed my hair and blow dried it. Then, put on my makeup. I know I don't need it but it makes me more confident. Finally, I went downstairs where Grandma was scrambling some eggs for me.
We still had twenty minutes before we had to leave, so I heard thump, thump, thump, coming from upstairs in my parent's bedroom. Grosssss. As soon as I thought that, the thumping stopped. Sometimes I am thankful for my dad's gift, other times, I curse it.
As Edward, Bella, and I got ready to leave, out came the cameras. Alice, Rose, and Grandma had one. Its like the paparazzi, at least I know they care.
All three of us got into the Volvo and drove to the Wasilla High School. Jacob was supposed to meet us in the parking lot. Dad drove in to the lot and I noticed that people were staring at the new car in their territory. As we got out more and more faces turned, taking in the new students, us.
Dad was our leader, being the only one of us three who had been through this before. Momma was by his side, holding his hand and leaning into him. I followed beside them looking for Jacob.
Jacob sure made an entrance, riding his bike, looking bad ass. The butterflies in my stomach started up again. I had been noticing this feeling anytime I saw Jacob for the past few weeks. It didn't happen with anyone else but him.
As soon as he parked, I ran over to him and hugged him. He returned the favor before nodding and greeting my parents. We walked side by side into the school then into the office to get our schedules.
Turns out that Jacob and I had most of the classes together. My parents were in the grade ahead of us and we won't even have the same lunch. Good, all the mind- reading annoys me sometimes. "I can still hear you, Ness. Anywhere in a 5 mile radius." My dad spoke up as we were walking down the hall. I will still have Jacob to sit with at lunch. Maybe Cole and Hannah too.
Our first class was band. This seems to be like a fun class and there's nothing better to do at 7:30am than march in the heat before going to school all day. Dad said it will pay off in the end but I'm not so sure. We walked into the band room and Jacob and I went straight for the room with the cubbies. Him to the brass side and me to the woodwinds side. I put my backpack in my cubby and greeted Eli and Hannah. I always feel at home around those two. We compared schedules and I had three classes with Eli and none with Hannah since she was a junior this year and I was a sophomore.
Turns out, we didn't go outside and march today. Mr. Johnson said that he didn't want everyone to ruin their back to school clothes so we just went over the band rules today.
Close to the end of class, the younger band kids left for the junior high. I was glad to get rid of them. Some of the eighth and ninth graders still ran around like little kids.
The bell rang and Jake and I headed off to Geometry along with Eli. I was near both of the guys like at the same time!
School was very boring and uneventful today for everyone, especially those with an advanced mind, because it's the first day. I didn't have any trouble with my thirst. All we did in every class was discuss the syllabus and get to know each other. Most of the kids in my classes were the same as the other classes because we were all advanced. That helped me learn their names faster.
They have a really weird schedule at this school. On "A" days which were Monday and Wednesday, you went to half of your classes and on "B" days, Tuesday and Thursday, you went to the other half. On Fridays, you went to all the classes. Here's my schedule:
Monday- A day
Tuesday- B day
Wednesday- A day
Thursday- B day
Friday- All

Confusing huh? I rode home on the back of Jacob's motorcycle after school. Everyone was home when we got to the main house. My mom had just released her third book so she was reading fan mail. Dad was by her side reading over her shoulder. Grandma and Grandpa were playing chess, Alice and Jasper were reading, her a book on fashion and him a book on the Civil War which just pissed him off because the facts were wrong but he still read them. I could hear Rosalie and Emmett upstairs. I just rolled my eyes and tried to ignore it.
I decided to check the Twilight Facebook page while Jacob got something to eat. They were all talking about Eclipse on there, "Hey mom, listen to this one." I said then began to read, "'It's pretty sad when you get a paper cut and the first thing you think of is Jasper,' says Kimmy." Jasper smiled at that then Alice looked at him lovingly.
"Why can't normal women have and 'Edward' or a 'Jacob'? Asks Kennedy." I read.
Mom looked at Dad and said, "You have to be special to get either one of them." Eww…stop getting so lovey dovey with each other.
"Or he has to be attracted to your blood." said Emmett coming down the stairs with Rosalie. We all laughed a little at that.
"Here's another one. Edward= Diamond, Jacob= Dog. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Dogs are a man's best friend. Jacob is obviously gay." I read off the screen.
"Hey, I'm not gay." Jacob yelled from the kitchen with his mouth full.
Emmett had to take this one, "Well, you have never dated anyone…so, we aren't sure." Jacob just glared at him and Emmett glared back. The rest of the family including myself thought it was hilarious.
"One more, then we are done for today." I said, "Here we go. One night, Tinker Bell and Dracula had a one night stand. Nine months later, a baby boy named Edward was born." I started laughing before I finished reading.
Dad tried to defend himself, "Hey, it could have happened, just not to me. I wonder how vampires got started in the first place."
"I'm pretty sure that's not it." Alice replied giggling uncontrollably.
"You know what's sad. Our generation will be forever known for Bieber Fever and sparkly vampires." Rose added. It was true though.
