Summary:
Renesmee Cullen: Daughter of Edward and Bella Cullen. Has moved to New York along with the rest of the Cullens. Secretly falling for Jacob Black, her best freind Melissa's bad-boy big brother.
Hailey Greenwood: Beta to Renesmee's alpha. With her parents pressuring her to study 24/7, she doesn't know how she would survie without her three best friends. Is secretly crushing on Jacob too, but wouldn't do anything to risk her position of power.
Melissa Black: With Renesmee Cullen as a best friend, she knows that her best friend has helped fuel her popularity. Knows, Nessie has other motives for coming to her house every Wednesday, in between Jacob's football pratcies. Well, little does Nessie know that Melissa has other motives as well.
Rebecca Martinez: With her parents pressuring her to be aboslutely flawless, Rebecca easily floats under Nessie's 'Girls To Watch Because They Might Take My Throne' radar because of her all night studying sessions. Really wants Nessie's throne for her own.
"Nessie! Come on, you have to go to school!" My mother bellowed from the bottom of the stairwell.
"God mom! Did I ask you to take my temperature?" I yelled.
"What? No." She said, confused.
"Then why are you all up in my butt?" I questioned.
"Do not use that tone with me, young lady! You are grounded." Bella screamed.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! Ohmygod! You are single-handedly ruining my social life!" I screeched, running down the stairwell and out the front door, making sure to slam it.
I took out my iPhone and texted my best friend, Hailey Greenwood. We met two years ago, on my first day of school. And now, as Sophomores, we were still best friends.
Sorry hails, can't come to the sleepover tonite.
I pressed send and sighed as I hopped into the backseat of my tricked out Hummer H3. It had two rows of seats facing each other. We had fixed it so the trunk was smaller and there was more room for my best friends and I to sit.
"Good Morning, Renesmee." my driver greeted.
"Hi Corey." I said, giving a little wave.
I was reminded briefly of when me and my car first met.
*Flashback*
"Nessie! Nessie, come down, I have to show you something!" Alice shouted from the other side of my bedroom door.
I looked over at my alarm clock and saw the LED numbers telling me it was 9:15 in the morning.
"What, Alice?" I whined.
"Just come out here, right now. Don't make me get the bucket."
I jumped off my bed and straightened out my purple tank top and matching pyjama pants, before opening my door.
Alice squealed and grabbed my hand, dragging me down the stairs and out the front door of my family's ridiculously large house.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice screamed in unison.
"Thank you?" I said, looking at Alice, expecting an answer to why they'd all dragged me out here so early in the morning.
"Look over there, silly!" Alice giggled, pointing over her shoulder.
I looked over to where she was pointing, and saw a giant green Hummer.
"Alice, why would you get me a car? I can't drive yet, remember?" I asked, confused.
"We know. Look inside." Rosalie ordered, smiling.
I slowly walked over to the car and opened the backdoor. I peered my head inside and saw the double seats and the mini fridge and flat-screen TV on the opposite side, in between the two rows of seats. I assumed the door was unopenable on that side.
"Hello Miss Cullen. Or do you prefer Renesmee?" A man asked from the front seat.
"Oh hello!" I said, surprised "Who are you? And Renesmee is fine" I smiled.
"My name is Corey. I'm your new driver." Corey announced.
I stuck my head out of the car and shut the door. I ran over to Alice and Rosalie and hugged them tightly, muttering "Thank you" to them as I moved over and did the same to Jasper and Emmett.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go get your girls!" Alice laughed.
"But won't they be sleeping?" I asked.
"No! I set it all up, now go get ready!" Alice ordered, pushing me toward the doors of my house.
**
A few minutes later, we pulled up to Hailey's house, and waited by the iron gates of her family's estate. She walked out of the front door and strutted over to the car with an air of confidence I was yet to outshine. But I would have it down by the end of the week. "Hey Hails." I greeted, giving her a hug.
"Morning, Miss Greenwood." Corey nodded.
"Hi. So why can't you come to the sleepover?" Hailey asked.
"My mom is being so unfair. She grounded me. Can you believe it?" I said, shaking my head.
"Ehmagod, that is sooooo sad. Well, I guess that I'll have to cancel the sleepover."
Of course. It wouldn't be a sleepover unless Renesmee Cullen was there. And just knowing that they couldn't even stand to hold it without me was a wonderful feeling.
Then, the idea hit me.
"Hailey, you know how when I'm grounded I'm confined to my house?" I asked.
"Yes, Ness, I do. Why?" Hailey said, looking at me like I'd gone mad.
"Because, even though I'm not allowed to go out, nobody said you guys aren't allowed to come in."I said, smiling mischievously.
A huge smiled crossed Hailey's face, "Nessie, are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"Well, we have a guesthouse with nobody in it, and, knowing Alice, it will be ready for a sleepover by nightfall."
Alice was like a goddess to my besties. She gave them all makeovers, took us shopping and updated them on the latest fashion trends faster than Seventeen andCosmoGirl's latest issues could hit newsstands. And, as far as they knew, she was taking classes to become a fashion designer at the NYU. Which she was, but only for show, and because she knew how sad our foursome would be if she went away.
"Really? You aren't joking me?" Hailey said, looking wary.
" Nope. I'm as serious about this sleepover, as Mr. Smith is about tardiness." I laughed.
"Great! I can't wait to tell the other girls!" Hailey squealed, flipping her shiny blond locks over her shoulder.
"You want anything?" I asked, reaching into the minifridge to grab a Vitamin Water.
"Umm, yeah can you get me a Vitamin Water too?"
"Sure....what kind?"
"Orange, please." she smiled.
I handed her the bottle as we pulled up to Melissa's house. The Black's estate was surround by wooden fences, with intricate designs carved on top.
I saw the gate open after Corey punched in a code. Our car drove up the driveway, stopping right in front of the house's stairwell. Melissa exited the house and her brother Jacob trailed close behind, a navy blue messenger bag slung over his shoulder. I felt the butterflies rise up inside my stomach, and my palms started to get sweaty.
I had always sorta liked Jacob, secretly.
Melissa opened the door and peered her head in.
"Hey Ness, can Jake get a ride to school with us? His car broke yesterday, and he has no way to get there." Melissa explained.
"Sure, but he'll have to sit in front. It'll get too squishy if he sits back here." I said.
The real reason I didn't want him sitting in the back, was because I was scared of what I might say if we were in such a close proximity. I shuddered just thinking of it.
"Okay." Melissa replied, smiling. She ducked her head out of he door and yelled something at Jacob, the next thing I knew, we were moving along the road to Rebecca's house, and Melissa was directly across from me, talking to Jacob.
I unzipped my bag and pulled my iPhone out of it's case. I started texting Hailey.
NESSIE: Can you believe J.B. is in my front seat?
HAILEY: J.B.? Why would the Jonas Brothers be in your car?
NESSIE: Jacob Black
HAILEY: Oh yeah, I totally can't believe it!
I put my phone back in it's case and grinned at Hailey. She was still playing with her Rumor.
We slowly pulled up in front of Rebecca's house, which was nestled in the middle of a wealthy suburb, the kind that has a bunch of nice houses in a group. Well, it was only three, but they were cute. Rebecca's was the biggest.
She was sitting on her stairs, reading People magazine. She looked up as soon as she heard the car and hopped in beside Melissa, grabbing a bunch of raspberries from the mini fridge.
"Morning girlies." Rebecca said, in between mouthfuls of raspberries.
"Hey." I said.
"Hi." Hailey and Melissa greeted her.
"Morning, Miss Martinez." Corey said.
"Oh, Hi Corey!" Rebecca replied, forgetting he was even there.
We chatted excitedly until we got to school, where we got out quickly. I waited behind for a little bit to tell Corey to tell Alice about the sleepover.
Ha! Like she didn't already know.
As our foursome walked down the halls of Octavian Country Day, I could feel everybody's eyes on us. Of course they were looking at us, we were the four most popular girls in our grade.
I fiddled with the strap of my black purse, trying to make sense of what happened in the car. I did not get nervous around guys. Especially not my best friend's brother, Jacob Black.
I smiled at the sound of his name in my head.
"Sorry guys, I have to cancel tonight." Melissa sighed.
"What? No! You can cancel next week, but not tonight!" Hailey whined.
"Why?" Melissa asked.
"Because tonight, the sleepover's being held at Nessie's house!"
"What? NO WAY! You know what, screw Jacob and his car, I'm coming tonight." Melissa laughed.
"What do you mean by 'screw Jacob and his car' ?" I asked, suddenly interested.
"Oh, he wanted me to help him fix it tonight." Melissa said, waving her hand like it didn't even matter.
"You know, Rosalie's coming down with Emmett this weekend. They could fix it for him."
"No, it's okay. Rosalie probably has better things to do."
"No, I'm sure she's love to do it."
"If you're sure..."
"Great!"
I really didn't care about Jacob's car. I just wanted him to come over and see me in my cutest outfit, helping Rosalie fix the car.
Class started in five minutes, which gave me some time to call Rosalie. As soon as I pulled my phone out of it's purple case, I saw that someone was calling me. Metro Station's 'Kelsey' erupted from my phone and I looked at the caller ID before answering.
'CALLING: ALICE'
"Hello?" I said.
"Hi Nessie!" Alice chirped.
"Hey Alice. Look, can you make this quick 'cause I have class in five minutes, and I still have to call Rosalie."
"I know, I've already asked her, she's fine with it."
"Oh, thanks Allie!" I said, smiling to myself.
"Look, I already convinced your parents to let you have the sleepover here tonight. Well, actually, Bella loved the idea, but Edward needed some convincing. Anyway, long story short, it's all sorted."
"Okay, so why are you calling me?"
"I need you to send me some pictures of what the usual set-up looks like for your sleepovers."
"Okay, I'll send them to you after we finish. So, is there any more great news?"
"Oh yeah, I also convinced them that this will be your permanent sleepover premises."
"NO WAY!"
"Yes way. So, pictures please."
"Of course. Love you, bye!"
"Bye Ness." She laughed.
I hung up and sent her the pictures, before telling my friends the good news.
"Guess who just phoned!" I squealed.
"Alice?" Rebecca guessed, looking up from her phone to see why I was so happy.
"Yep! And guess what she said..."
"What?" Hailey asked, impatient.
"That, not only can we sleepover at my house tonight, but it can be our new sleepover place! Permanently!"
"No way! An entire house to ourselves!" Rebecca sighed, happily.
"Is that okay with you, Hails?"
"Are you kidding? It's freaking awesome!" Hailey yelled, giving me a hug.
We each said our goodbyes before Hailey and I headed towards our first class, English.
"Sooooo, is Alice setting everything up?" Hailey asked, linking her arm in mine.
"Yeah, she's probably buying everything right now."
"Awesome! This sleepover is going to be ah-ma-zing."
I giggled as we entered the English room. Everybody else was already in their seats, and there were only two empty. Our seats. The two in the middle of the classroom that were right beside each other.
Where Massie Block, founder of the original Pretty Committee sat, once upon a time, beside Dylan Marvil. They were who we aspired to be. Massie, Dylan, Alicia, and Kristen.
It was who we were now. The New Pretty Committee. Massie had wanted to leave a legacy of some sort. With a new Pretty Committee. We'd all been tested and pushed an pulled in all directions. Stretching our friendships to the point of breakage. But we stayed together. And that was what led Massie to picking us to continue her legacy. Of course, she was still in her last year of school, twelfth grade. The end of her journey.
But only the beginning of ours.
