on the way to school,
nessie listens to
the lullaby
her father has written
for her.
she knows how to play it
and she plans on
performing it
at the school's
talent show.

while listening,
she imagines
herself playing it,
her family proudly watching,
jacob cooing over her,
as always,
declan watching in awe.
or not caring at all.
or maybe being jealous.
she bets he can't
play the piano

like she can.
or sing in that matter.

at school,
everybody is surprised,
when they see
the new renesmee.
to them

she seems even more
confident than usual.

"remi!", her friends
greet her.

she grins and hugs them.
"you can call me nessie too,"

she adds.

nicole raises an eyebrow.
"like the loch ness monster?"

renesmee nods
and heads to class

with shayla and nicole.

as always,
declan is nowhere

to be found.

renesmee catches herself
worrying about him.
his empty seat
makes her anxious.

if he, as a sophomore,
skips classes like that,
just because of a break-up,
what is gonna happen
when they're seniors?
he might not be able

to graduate.

snap out of it!

thankfully,
her phone

distracts her.
it vibrates
in the middle
of the class,
but the teacher

doesn't hear it.

renesmee sneakfully
takes it out.
she has a new message.
from jacob.
what a surprise!

"hey, ness,
wanna hang out
after school?",
it reads.
she smiles a little.
she wouldn't
mind that.

remember,

she is giving him

a chance.
he might blow it.

he might now.

"yes,"

nessie quickly types
and sends.

just as she is about

to hide her phone,
the teacher comes

to her.

"renesmee, your phone,

please," she is holding

out her hand to take it.

renesmee gulps,

locks her phone

and hands it,

murmuring an apology.
she can't wait

to get it back

and check her messages.

after her morning classes,

all she does throughough
lunch is text jacob.

her friends have noticed
her spacey behaviour.
they're curious.

has she moved on
that quickly?

"nessie!", shayla exclaims

too loudly.
everyone is still getting used
to that nickname.
some people turn to them.
"who is jacob?"

nessie raises her head sharply

and sees that even declan

is staring at them.
she sees the jealousy
in his eyes.

"oh,"she keeps up with
her friends' behavior,

speaking too loudly.
"i have a date with him

t o d a y."

her friends squeal loudly
alongside her,
while everybody else
begin to gossip.

they're curious.
who is jacob?

nessie doesn't notice
how hurt declan is.
she doesn't know that.
she doesn't know that

he is on the verge of tears.

and men have been taught
to keep their tears

for the pillow.
