Nathaniel showed up the next morning waiting to pick up Bella for school. The front door opened revealing Charlie leaving for work. He waved and rolled his window down.

"Morning Chief Swan!"

"Nathaniel?" Charlie walked closer to his Lexus. "What are you doing here?"

"Giving Isabella a ride to school, we have an English project we were assigned and I wanted to pick her mind on some of the ideas I had for it." Charlie raised a brow as he hummed.

"Uh-huh. Sure. Just don't try anything." He patted his gun on his belt with a indigenous look.

"Dad!" Bella called out as she slammed the door behind her. "Really?" Nathaniel couldn't help but chuckle.

"Wouldn't dream of it Mr. Swan." He gave a toothy grin causing Charlie to narrow his eyes at him suspiciously.

"Mm-hm. Be safe Bella." He bid his daughter farewell before getting into his police cruiser.

"What was that about?" Bella asked him.

"Dads generally hate me." He said with a shrug.

"I wonder why." Nathaniel couldn't help but smile at her sarcasm. This will be an interesting adventure not just for him but for her also.

Nathaniel sped as he usually did, unaffected by the fluttering heartbeat besides him, he would slow down if she said so, he was just used to it. He never took his time with things before, always cracking to the bottom line of things but with her, for her he'd need to take things down a notch and he was ready for it. For her he will be whatever she needs.

They pulled up into the school's parking lot, he parked away from his usual spot, opting to park where Bella would so she can say hi to her friends who weren't parked far away from him. All eyes were on the Lexus as he got out with Bella. The stares and whispers he can handle but was unsure how Bella would take it. Looking over at her he put on a pair of sunglasses, as he noticed her blushed. Waiting for her to walk around he swung his arm around her shoulders and offered to carry her bag for him which she declined.

Her face was beaming red which he found quite endearing. He couldn't make out her heartbeat within the throng of people about.

"You know everyone's staring." She stated. He shrugs.

"Not everyone, alright that one just looked. It doesn't matter, if they give you trouble send them my way, I'll take a bite out of them." He smirked catching Rosalie's piercing glare from across the lot.

"Will this be an issue with your family?" He shook his head.

"Nah, maybe Rosalie but she just needs to deal with it."

"What do the others think?"

"My parents are as always supportive, Edward's smug, Alice is eager to meet you, apparently you two are soon to be besties but I wouldn't let that scare you unless you hate to shop."

"I hate shopping." She deadpanned. Nathaniel laughed.

"Well you're in for a treat then."

"Great." She mumbled.

"It'll be fine." He said, moving his hand to her waist giving it a squeeze.

The day went on as normal, only difference being the new rumors going around about Nathaniel and Bella being a couple. They both ditched lunch that day and opted to sit in the quiet corner of the library.

"You know it says no food allowed in here right?" Nathaniel rolled his eyes as he tossed a sealed bag of carrots at her.

"Shut up and eat."

Bella rolled her eyes before quietly opening the bag and taking a bite out of the carrot stick.

"You gotta eat to grow big and strong." He playfully commented.

"Shut up." Bella shook her head trying to give a stern look but her face broke out into a small smile. Nathaniel plopped his textbook down and start paging through it to find the answers to his homework.

"You know I feel like they should just give me an A on this history assignment, I've already lived through it."

"Then why do you need the textbook to answer the questions?" Nathaniel couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Because Isabella there are things the government's like to keep to themselves and they like to change the story to fit their narrative better." Bella gave him a skeptical look.

"I swear it's true! Also the internet, I predict will become a shitstorm of false information to feed the people seeking knowledge but really they'll be brainwashed into thinking it's all true."

"Okay, now I know your joking."

"Or am I?" He waggled his eyebrows making her laugh quietly to herself.

-

The bell rang for the last time that day, Nathaniel waited for Bella by her locker. Both girls and guys would stare at him as they walked through the halls, all whispering about the new girl getting the Cullen boy. It was amusing to watch seeing as there was nothing else to interest or trouble the teenagers of today's society but gossip.

His pride swelled as he listened to the 'heartbroken' girls who swooned from afar, making eye contact with one of them he winked their way making them blush and hide. Chuckling to himself, his nostrils flared once they caught Bella's scent. Stopping himself from taking another breath he forced a smile on his face when Bella came to greet him.

"How was the rest of your day beautiful?" Bella shrugged as she opened her locker.

"It was alright, I need to be dropped off at Newton's Olympic Outfitters, I have a shift today." Nodding to himself he recalled the 'conversation' with the Newton boy.

"Yeah, shouldn't be a problem. Hey I wanted to ask you. How do you feel about meeting my family?" Bella's eyes nearly bulged as she looked up at him.

"Your family? As in like at your house?" Nathaniel nodded with a lopsided grin.

"Yeah, why not, hm? It'll be fine I promise. That is if you want to."

"No, no yeah I do it's just, what if they don't like me?" Bella slammed her locker shut before slinging her bag over her shoulder.

"They'll love you, now come on." He wrapped his arm around her shoulder before they walked together out to the parking lot.
