Arriving at cheer practice I flung the Louis Vuitton tote I used to carry my gym stuff in on the floor. I was early, so started warming up, flipping up and down the hall, letting my body flow. I back flipped around the bleachers, getting lost in my agility, until I heard a cough. Tom, captain of the basketball team, was standing under the Hoops with an amused expression on his face.

I stopped, embarrassed to be caught. He walked towards me, still grinning.

"Its Reneesme right? Im Tom"

"Yeah…r hi"

"That was pretty impressive, where did you learn that"

"Erm gymnastics"

"Well now you're on the cheer team ill guess ill see more of you around."

"I guess…" I trailed off as members of the basketball team trailed in, surrounded by my fellow cheerleaders.

All through practice I felt Toms eyes on me. I tried to tone down the flips, but the head cheerleader Casey had made me a flyer, and my skirt was flipping up and showing off the tiny regulation red cheer shorts. I rushed off after practice, knowing I would have to be careful what I showed Dad and Jake tonight. They were over protective when it came to other boys.

Alice was waiting at the gates in her shiny yellow Porsche. I had been told the story many times of how Alice received that Porsche. It was so like my dad to be overprotective.

"SHOPPING TIME!" Alice squealed as I got in the car, "lets go to the mall!"

I grinned at her, shopping with Alice was the best; she had the most fashion sense in our family, and got the most excited about things.

We drove to the mall, and headed straight for Kira Plastininas store. We loved her stuff and there was so much stuff there it suited everyone. Jeans and hoodies for Mum, Simple but stylish skirts and blouses for Rosalie, Quirky dresses for Alice, and shorts and vest tops for me.

We came out of the store with bulging plastic bags. And bumped straight into half the school basketball team.

"Reneesme! I looked for you after practice, you did great!" Tom told me.

I blushed and looked down. " Err thanks"

Toms friend, Jonny looked over at Alice.

"Whos this then Reneesme?"

"Alice, my aunt"

"Heyy" Said Alice with her charming smile. The boys looked impressed.

"Do you want to come for ice cream with us, were meeting Casey and Gabby down there too?" Tom asked me.

Jonny looked at Alice, "Please say she can come"

Alice looked at me, with a bit of a cheeky smile. "Nessie makes her own decisions."

Tom never took eyes off me, "Then you'll come?"

"Well" I stuttered, glaring at Alice, "Don't we have to get home"

"Nahh were in no rush! Ill go home and tell them you'll miss dinner" She winked, Alice obviously thought this would be exciting.

And I didn't really have much choice after that.

Casey looked pleased to see me, which surprised me as she didn't seem to like many people, but Carlisle had always said I had the ability to charm people, and having charmed dear old Aro, a school bitch was no challenge.

I sat down and within three minutes Tom had already placed a strawberry ice cream in fornt of me.

"Thanks"

"It's a pleasure, shall we take a walk along the harbour"

There were nudges from his friends, but Casey said, "yeah Reneesme, walk with Tom" and winked at me in an Alice-like way, so I really had no choice.

But as id predicted, we only just crossed to the path by the harbour, when a Red Corvette pulled up and The window rolled down.

"Reneesme, get in" Jacob said in a stern voice.

I looked apologetically at Tom, and got in the car, and we skidded of, leaving Tom stood there.

"What are you doing , Nessie?" Jacob said, his voice softer.

"Jacob, what exactly do you expect me to do when you don't go to school?"

"Not flirt with other boys"

"Get a grip Jacob, I wasn't flirting"

"haha not much" He said, his voice edged with sour sarcasm.

"Jacob Black, don't tell me who I cant be friends with."

"We'll see what your dad thinks about this then"

"I expect he already knows."

The car pulled up in our drive, and I flung the door open and jumped out, not bothering to look behind me or wait for Jacob. He was by my side in a second, his face full of remorse.

"Im sorry Nessie"

He tried to put his arm around me but I shrugged it off.

My dad was waiting at the front door, but I didn't meet his eyes and barged past him.

"EMMET", I called, and he appeared from the front room.

"Yes Nessie"

"Im going to my room annd if Jacob even trys to talk to me tonight I want you to personally rip his head off!"

And with that I ran straight up to my room and locked the door. What an over-reaction!
