So this is my first ever attempt at a fanfic story, so please review it! I'm not 100% sure where this is going yet, but I would appreciate feedback. Thanks!
Technically, my family and I lived a little out of the accepted zone area for Enumclaw High. However, since Carlisle had taken a position at St. Elizabeth Hospital only 2-miles from the high school, we were able to sweet talk our way into the district.
Arriving at Enumclaw High was bittersweet feeling, especially on my part. I had endured thousands of agonizing hours in mundane high schools. I had once even considered it my own purgatory; that was until my reason for existence finally found her way to me in a very eventful biology classroom. Today was our first day back in high school since Bella's first graduation. Renesmee was ecstatic. In fact the word doesn't serve it justice. Bella and I are only just over a year away from reaching Renesmee's fully matured age. Her growth spurts have finally slowed enough for her to attend a public school without being noticed…at least no more noticed than our family usually does.
Bella squeezed my hand as we proceeded through the school entrance and I looked deeply into her eyes asking permission into her remarkable mind.
I don't know Edward, do you think it's too early? Maybe we should wait until next year to prepare Renesmee more. Maybe we should have invited Jacob. Maybe we should have put her into more of our classes. What if I can't handle this?
"Everything is going to be fine," I whispered into her ear. "Renesmee is ready and you know she'll excel more than anyone else in her class. You have more self-control than even I do, and we'll see Renesmee at lunch, so please don't worry."
Bella didn't respond. She kept her shield firmly around her, protecting her from any more uncertain thoughts. I quickly kissed her on the cheek before entering the bustling hallway.
"Attention please. For those students who weren't able to attend registration last week, please proceed to the administration's office to retrieve your class schedules. Any changes must wait until the end of the day, or during your lunch period. Thank you." The intercom went silent and we all looked at each other in panic.
"Not to worry everyone," Alice chimed in. "Carlisle said he visited the administration's office the other day on the phone and got everything sorted. They should have our schedules all bundled with our names on it.
The next moment was something I had been preparing myself for. Walking though the crowded hallway as my family passed was always a new experience in every new school. The difference this time was having to listen to the thoughts of so many obnoxious, young minds about my wife and our little girl.
The first mind I heard was a cocky tall jock who was currently eying Rosalie. Whoa. Hello freaking gorgeous. I can't wait until lunch period to snag up that blonde one for some afternoon delight!
Emmett growled and took Rosalie's waist as she gave the boy a "you know I'm way too good for you" look.
Oh my gosh the hair! Look at his face. I have definitely never seen something so beautiful in my life! I wonder if they're related. I hope so, or else I'm screwed. Oh wow, look how pretty they all are. But wow, he's just…wow.
I had never grown accustomed to my looks through my immortality, nor did I feel like I represented the Greek like God that I resembled until I met Bella. She made me feel like the man I hoped I always would be. But this girl had it all wrong. Except for one thing, she didn't stand a chance.
But then the moment I had been gearing up for all week went to crap. Bella walked in front of me holding our young daughters hand. I followed closely behind them with my hands in my pocket anxiously looking from boy to boy. Protecting my girls. Not that they needed any protection. Both of the women in my life could take on any super bowl winning quarterback in a matter of seconds.
Well I think I just found my number 17 and 18 girlfriends this year. Dang that dark haired one is hot! I dunno, the chick in the leather jacket looks pretty sexy herself. Maybe she'll find herself in my hotel room after this year's homecoming dance.
The young man by his locker stared lustfully at my two most important beings on this planet. Before I could help myself, I turned head face and snarled at the kid.
Whoa! He screamed as he tripped backwards and fell into his locker.
"Edward! It's fine! Just walk away." Bella was at my side in an instant reassuring me of any insecurities. "Let's go pick up our schedules. Please just act like the handsome, confident gentleman you are, okay? I could use the moral support. Also, I love you."
Any worries I previously had were gone with those three little words. She was right. I was supposed to be the expert here. I needed to be there for my family, not acting like the self-conscious seventeen-year old that I was.
Walking through the doorway, a short, petite woman stood behind her desk as a dozen students tried shuffling their way to the front to retrieve their schedules. Mrs. Delany-Administrations Secretary was written on her name plate.
"If…everyone…ehh oh gosh. Everybody! If you could all just, oh woah. Keep line in an orderly fashion…" The poor woman was going to be trampled on!
"Jasper," I whispered quietly. "Do you think you could help the poor woman out?"
"Already on it," he said. And within a moment, everyone started feeling at ease. The mob of students relaxed and quieted down. Mrs. Delany took a few deep breaths and looked around puzzled, searching for whatever had eased the tension.
"Right," She said. "One at a time, please."
After a minute or so, the office emptied out, and all that was left was my family. Mrs. Delany was putting her desk back in order when she said "Yes, can I help you?"
"Hello Mrs. Delany. My name is Edward Cullen." Her head snapped up. "My family and I just moved into town, and my father said he took care of our schedules and paperwork the other day. Could we pick up our welcome packets?"
My word he's more gorgeous than the doctor. Oh my just look at the whole family! I wonder if…no, they're students Evie, get a hold of yourself. But wow he's pretty.
I smiled, and thought of poor Ms. Cope back at Forks High School. I would miss her this year. "Mrs. Delany? Do you need our individual names?"
"Oh, no Edward. I have a package set aside here for your whole family. Quite the over achievers, your family. You're all in advanced placement! If you ever need any help at all, please don't hesitate to give me a visit."
Whenever you want. I'll be here.
"Thank you, we'll let you know if there's any trouble."
"Geez Dad, you just about gave that lady a heart attack! Next time go easy on her Mister Suave." Renesmee always gave me a hard time when other women swooned over me, or are "dazzled" by my presence as Bella puts it.
"Well baby sister," I joked with her. "Here is your class schedule. You've got English with your mom and I, Spanish with Jasper and Emmett, Earth Science with Rose and Alice. That means you're on your own for History, and your extracurriculars. Oh wait, ha you've got P.E. with your mother and I."
"Are you serious?" Bella chimed in. "With all your charm and good looks, you couldn't talk us out of P.E.?"
"Oh relax Bella. I didn't get to go to P.E. with you last time so it's only fair. Besides, you're not your clumsy self anymore so you can't be embarrassed." The woman has no bounds. One day she's begging to race me through the forest, and the next she's fighting tooth and nail to avoid badminton with a couple of high school kids.
"Fine. But unless they form some vampire team where I can own you at any sport, I'll just stand in the back and avoid the ball."
"Not if I can help it, Love. I'll be passing it to you every chance you get."
"Okay you two, enough with the child's play. In about ten more seconds you'll be pushing Bella into that wall to make out. And I'm not sure that classroom of teenagers is going to overlook you breaking through a solid wall…"
"Time for class guys. Okay Miss Hale," Alice said gesturing to Bella. We decided if we were going to be playing boyfriend-girlfriend, Bella would be related to Jasper and Rosalie, while Renesmee portrayed my little sister. Esme was right. The resemblance between us was just too profound to ignore. "Listen Bella. You're going to do fine. I haven't seen anything for today where you pose a threat to anyone. Stop being antsy or you'll bring more attention to yourself!"
"I'm fine Alice. Really and truly great." Bella's eyes burned a deep gold from our hunting trip last night. We were taking every extra precaution possible, and frankly Jasper was just content that he wasn't perceived as the weakest link any longer.
Don't freak out Edward, but something is off during third period. It's Nessie's art class. I don't see anything bad happening, but there are seriously huge gaps during that hour. More so than usual with her.
Alice's vision flooded my mind, but she was right. Lots of blackouts occurred in places they shouldn't. I eyed my little girl talking to Bella just a few feet away, but I made careful precautions to not let either of them notice my private conversation. Bella didn't take too well with my secret chats with Alice.
"We need to get to class, Love. We'll see her second period for English."
"Don't worry boss," Emmett said as he nudged me on the shoulder. Nessie and I have Spanish completely under control. Isn't that right Niña?" He chuckled and Renesmee scoffed in his direction. If there was one thing she was particularly sensitive about, it was being compared to a little girl. One thing she had for sure though. This was definitely going to be an interesting day.
