New Places, New Faces

I pulled into a parking spot and turned off the bright yellow Porsche Alice had given me as a 'first day at a new school' gift. I grabbed my small leather messenger bag and pulled the strap over my shoulder. Taking a deep breath I turned to look up at the ancient stone towers of my new boarding school.

Engraved above the administration doors were the words Spencer Academy. Mom and Dad were dead set against this, from the moment I first asked if I could apply. Thankfully Carlisle and Alice had both done an amazing job of convincing them I could handle this.

Now I just had to convince myself. I made my way slowly to the room that had been listed on my acceptance letter- it had taken a couple minutes to memorize the map of the school and my class schedule. Perk of being half-immortal. When I got to the large wooden door, I pulled out the small silver key, but before I could unlock anything, the door swung inward, and I was greeted by a bubbly blonde girl, that looked way too excited for the first day of school.

Ushering me in, she pointed out the closet and bookshelf on my half of the room. It was better than I thought it would be, although I doubted all the clothes Alice sent with me would squeeze into the closet space. After storing some of my mother's books on the shelf, I turned to introduce myself to the girl.

"Hi! I'm Sarah!" She said, grinning and holding out her hand.

I couldn't help but feel a little better. She seemed genuinely glad to meet me, which I hated to admit was relieving. I shook her hand lightly, and smiled in return. "I'm Renesmee Cullen, but you can call me Nessie, everyone does."

"That's a cool name! Last year I roomed with my friend Kate, but she graduated. Come with me and I'll show you around and introduce you to everyone worth knowing." She said jokingly, pulling me by the hand out the door.

The campus was beautiful, it was painted in the oranges and yellows and fiery reds that did not grace the rainy Washington coast I had grown up on. The uniforms we were forced to wear here were not incredibly flattering, but after living with Alice for sixteen years, I was able to spice it up a little; I could tell I did a good job when I heard a shrill whistle from across the courtyard.

Sarah rolled her eyes. "Those are Aaron Abbot's lackeys. He was this total player that graduated last year too- too bad his minions didn't disperse." She muttered quietly, refusing to look at the immature group of boys as we passed.

I laughed, deviously glancing over my shoulder at them, and then turning my attention deliberately back to my roommate. She laughed too. "You probably just gave them an aneurism. I like you already." She said.

When we got back inside, she pulled me toward what I remembered from the map to be the swimming pool. "I think Caleb and the others are here watching Tyler, they don't start at Harvard until next Tuesday." She said excitedly, and then hurried to explain. "Caleb is my boyfriend, his best friend Pogue is dating Kate, my roommate from last year, and their other friend Reid… well, you'll see. Reid is one of a kind.

"Tyler is part of their group, just a year younger- they were like, the total 'in' crowd last year, well, every year since they started school here. People around in this town call them the Sons of Ipswich." She said hurriedly, opening the door, a small thrill shot down my spine at her words, though I couldn't even begin to guess why.

A large draft of chlorine filled air met my face.

Suddenly Sarah was no longer beside me; she was across the large room and had thrown herself into the arms of the classic 'tall dark and handsome' guy that had stood up from the bleachers to greet her. I rolled my eyes and made my way lightly over to where they were standing with two other guys and a girl with long dark hair, whom I took to be Kate.

The two other boys looked to be about eighteen, one looked like the kind of guy Jake would like, obsessed with fast cars and all that jazz. The other had blond hair and this extremely mischievous glint in his eyes. I could tell right away that this one must be Reid.

I stopped a few feet away and politely waited for Sarah to introduce me. Too bad she was preoccupied with her very public display of affection to realize that I was there. The one I took to be Reid jumped down from the bleachers. He sauntered over and held out his hand.

"Reid Garwin, you'll have to forgive her- the two of them get a little carried away sometimes. True love and all that." H e said with a smirk.

I snickered, and shook his hand. "I'm Renesmee Cullen; I just moved here from the Seattle area, I'm Sarah's new roommate." I replied, wondering why I instantly found this cocky teenager so engaging. Usually I had little to no patience with people my own age. I had been raised by vampires that were almost all at least a century old, and I didn't relate well to other kids. Which was the main reason I was here, I needed a crash course in social life 101, especially if I was going to have to play a teenager for the rest of eternity.

Reid cocked an eyebrow. "Seattle eh? You've come pretty far to go to school, or, to not go to school, which would be my suggestion." He said. He threw his arm lightly over my shoulder and guided me toward the others. My heart jumped into my throat and started beating double-time.

Besides Jake and his pack, I had almost no experience with interacting with normal people, and I was stunned that I seemed to be accepted so quickly. I knew that I was enthralling for all things mythical, but I couldn't understand why these normal humans took a liking to me so fast. Usually humans were intimidated by me… this would be a mystery I would have to unravel.

When we reached them, a somewhat younger looking boy with dark hair and dark eyes, that was currently dripping wet, had joined the group. Tyler, obviously. The one who I took to be Pogue had his arm wrapped lightly around Kate's waist, and Sarah and Caleb were still… getting reacquainted. Reid reached out with his free hand and knocked Caleb on the back of the head, causing the two to abruptly stop what they had been doing.

"Don't be rude." Reid said, and I could tell there was some joke that I, as the outsider, was missing. "We have company. Everyone, this is Rainy Cullen. Rainy, this is Pogue, Kate, Tyler, and this is our fearless leader-" He smirked, mock punching Caleb in the arm.

I cocked an eyebrow and pretended to glare. Reid shrugged innocently. "What? Renesmee, Rainy? I think it fits. You are from the rainiest city in the world." He pointed out.

I tried to look like I was considering it, but in reality, it was so much better than being nicknamed after the loch ness monster. Finally I shrugged too. "Touché." I muttered, attempting not to let him see the inexplicable way he made me feel so special and so normal at the same time.

well... what d'ya think? like? hate? don't care? well let me know!! review!!
