"Renesme! Get Down here," was all my mother could shout. I was late again for stupid school even though it was in my own house. Sometimes I wondered what it would be like to go to normal school at Forks High School after all I was sixteen, but I was supposed to look like a six year old. I had the brain capacity of a forty year old, so I aced everything my parents threw at me. I had an odd family full of vampires, who had to restrain themselves from thirsting for my blood especially Uncle Jasper. I was the only one in the house who was half vampire and half human, but everyone treated me as family I loved them all.
I tripped on the rug, I was such a klutz, my dad Edward, says I got that from my mother.
"Renesme! Oh…Umm just get ready we have to start with the lesson," my mother would go through this routine daily. The agenda for today changed when my mother told me I would be going to the local high school in Forks were she had gone. I was too excited and nervous to say anything yet, so we continued on. After the lesson, I was allowed out of the cottage to go hunting with my best friend Jacob, and being with Jacob felt like I was free to do whatever I wanted. Jacob was always so excited to see me, but something about him was changing since a couple weeks ago when I turned sixteen, he became more comfortable around me. I had noticed before that he was attractive very handsome and muscular, but I did not want to think about him in that manner. I didn't want things to get weird between us. I didn't want to lose our friendship, by telling him I lusted after him the way I sometimes see my mother lusting after my father. I spotted him across the forest.
"Jacob, what's up for today bears or just deer," I said with a smile.
"Um… let's try bears, I like the fight. Before we go… I was wondering," Jacob looked nervous I grabbed his hand he was burning up, but then again he was werewolf. "Um… if you would like to catch a movie or something." I was wondering why he was fussing over this, because we had gone to movies before as best friends.
"I'd love to Jacob, but why were you so nervous about asking me we have gone to movies before together," I said.
"Well I was hoping it would be kind of like a date, say tomorrow night" Jacob looked like he wanted to run as far away from here as possible, he was waiting for a yes.
"Oh um…well ok sure," I wasn't sure what to do this is what I had feared would happen for a long time. The rest of the hunt was silent, until we got home he said goodbye and fled to La Push. When I went inside my mother and Aunt Alice ambushed me at the door.
"Alice saw you going on a date with Jacob, I knew this day would come," My mother began pacing around the room while Alice told me she had already picked out clothes for me to wear, Alice was always the fashionista. All I could think of was my father finding out he really never liked the idea that I hung out with Jacob. What was I going to do?
