Renesmee's story

Chapter 36 Years later Starting school

Renesmee's POV

I am now five years old. We still live in Vancouver because Mommy and Daddy have been off to 'College,' since we left Forks. I miss Grandpa Charlie and Jacob a lot, but I do see them when we visit or when they come up.

I still play in my tree house a lot; it's my favourite place to play. I still see the girl with her Mommy or Daddy, and sometimes other people. I'm starting to think that she's going to be really popular when she starts high school, but that's a long time for now and I don't need to worry about it.

It's September 6th and I'm starting Kindergarten tomorrow and I finally get to make some friends. I did make some around the neighborhood, but they are all older than me and they already go to school. I know what school is like and I'm pretty sure that I know more that the smartest kid on the street who happens to be in year 5. I just have to pretend that I have no idea what school is like for my family. Aunt Alice and Aunt Rosalie have already brought me out shopping and got me everything that I need. Oh the joys of shopping.

"Nessie, Sandra's at the door," Mommy told me.

"OK," I said walking to the door. Sandra's my best friend. Sandra is starting year 2 and is super fun to play with. I opened the door and saw Sandra there looking very excited.

"NESSIE!" she squealed loudly.

"SANDRA!" I squealed back. This was something that we always do all the time.

"Are you excited for Kindergarten Nessie?" she asked me.

"Yes! I can't wait!"

"Do you know who your teacher is yet?"

"No, but tomorrow I'm going to find out."

"Good, I had Mrs. Smith last year, she was really nice. She let us finger paint," she told me. Sandra and I played for a bit until I had to go inside for a bath.

"Mommy," I said after my bath, "Who's my teacher tomorrow?"

"I don't know Nessie, now, let's dry off and get you into your pyjamas so you can go to sleep," Mommy said. I nodded my head and dried myself off. I got into my pyjamas and Mommy brushed my hair so it won't be as bad tomorrow. I climbed into my bed and went to sleep after Daddy read me a story.

It's September 7th, that means school starts today! I jumped out of my bed this morning and started getting ready for school. I was so excited that I can do something during the day instead of just sitting in front of the TV or watching Uncle Emmett pretending to play dollies. When he's 'looking after me,' I find him playing with my dollies up in my room. It was funny at first, but then it started to get boring.

I got into a pink shirt that had Hannah Montana on it and a jean skirt that went to my knees. Hannah Montana is still popular to little kids and considering that I am one, I like her too. I actually like her; I'm not pretending to like her because everyone else does.

I walked down the stairs and went into the kitchen to find Mommy sitting at the table and Daddy making me some eggs.

"Morning Nessie," they said in unison.

"Good morning!" I replied.

"Are you excited to start school again?" Mommy asked. I nodded my head excitedly as Daddy placed the eggs in front of me.

"Thank you Daddy," I said.

"You're welcome Nessie, now eat up and brush your teeth, Aunt Alice wants to take pictures of you," Daddy told me. I nodded again and I started eating. I've gotten used to the fact that I don't have my powers anymore so Mommy and Daddy don't have to worry about me putting my hand up to anyone's face. Once I was done, I hurried up the stairs and brushed my teeth. Once I was done brushing my teeth, I headed back down the stairs and tripped. Daddy caught me, again. Mommy and Daddy said that they want to put me in dance to see if it would improve my balance. I'm starting dance next week.
