4. Frantic.

Renesmee Cullen.

The bell declared it was lunchtime. I ran (nearly at vampire speed) to my locker, and took out my books in a rush, then scrambled to the oak tree I was going to meet Jacob at. I waited.

"Renesmee," a voice said sternly. I gulped at the sound of my real name, which even my own mother didn't use, though she hated my nickname more than shopping with Alice. I turned around, to face a very angry-looking Edward Cullen.

"Yes, Edward?" I choked out, and it came out as soft as a whisper.

"I heard about what happened in the halls today. Why did you yell at Sophie and Michelle?"

Their names made me growl. "I have complete authority to do what I did, Edward," I said. "They were talking about Jacob."

"So, what?"

How would I explain this to him? "How would you feel if people were talking to you about how Bella was so hot and pretty?" I asked him. "Let alone yell at them, you'd probably kill them on the spot."

He inhaled sharply. "It's a completely different situation," he said. "They don't know you and Jacob are...in love." He had trouble saying the in love part, that was obvious.

"Then let me tell them," I pleaded. "I want them to know, I want to be able to be with Jacob, and I know Jacob feels the same way!"

"No," he said, his eyes diverted. "You can't."

"Why?"

"Because Jacob thinks...impure thoughts when he's around you."

"So does every other guyin this stinking school," I said. "At least I can be safe with Jacob!"

"You don't know that."

"Then who would you prefer me to be with?" I asked. "I'm fully mature now, and I can make my own decisions!"

"You could go with someone like Howard," Edward suggested. "He just thinks about how beautiful you are, and that's better than Jacob."

I sighed. Howard was the school nerd, who spent his life in the library. No sports, no friends, no girlfriends. "Howard?" I asked. "I'd rather die."

Edward's eyes flashed. "Howard would be much safer for you to be with."

"Again with the security?" I asked him. "You did the same thing to Bella. Thank god she didn't listen."

"I love Bella more than I love anything else in this world."

"And you think Jacob doesn't love me?" I asked. "Heck, he probably loves me ten times more than you love Bella. He imprinted on me, for heaven's sake. You went to kill yourself when you thought Bella was dead, and Jacob would probably kill himself one week away from me."

Edward scowled. "We will continue this conversation at home, Renesmee."

"Please, dad! I'm frantic!"

"We're not talking about this anymore," he said. "I'll see you later." He walked away.

"Nessie!" Jacob's voice called out. I was happy to hear my nickname again, especially in Jacob's husky voice.

"Jacob!" I yelled in his direction. "What took you so long?"

"Two things," he said, now right beside me, and panting lightly. "First, I was being followed, and attacked. Second, I was waiting for Eddie to leave."

"Followed and attacked by who?" I asked.

"It's not important," he said. "So what's up?"

"By who?" I repeated, a little annoyed.

"It's not important," he repeated, in the same tone. But then he grinned. "What's cooking?"

"My brain," I said. "My life just got a lot worse today."

"Why?" he asked, and I gave him a look that made him understand everything. "Oh," he said. "Yeah, same here. I miss you so much."

"Me too!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms around his neck. His warm hands slipped around my waist, and pulled me closer. My body happily agreed.

Someone cleared their throat. We both flipped our heads to the left to see Alice standing there. "Do you want your head chopped into a million pieces, and cooked for the next meal, but then thrown out, cause we all realized that we don't eat?" she said to Jacob.

He shook his head lightly.

"Then I suggest you keep a distance from each other," she said. "And Nessie? This is for you." She handed me an envelope. It was sealed perfectly, and it had the logo of Oxford University on it. I peeled open the seal.

Good afternoon, Renesmee.

I would like your permission for me to drive you to the cinema on Friday, November 13th to see the latest animated projection of Star Wars. Your brother, Edward Cullen, has agreed, and says you would be delighted to have my acquaintanceship. Please place your signature on the dotted line.

Best Regards,

Howard.


I put the letter down, and coughed. Howard? Oxford University? Renesmee? Cinema? Friday, November 13th? Animated Projection? STAR WARS? Acquaintanceship? Signature? REGARDS? I realized I was gagging. Jacob was reading the letter which had been sitting loosely in my hand. He looked up, and didn't look happy.

"Are you planning to go?" he asked me, and I realized it wasn't anger on his face, it was disappointment and sadness.

"NO!" I exclaimed. "Are you kidding? With HOWARD?"

"He said Edward gave him permission. Mr. Patience might end up forcing you."

"Then I'll have to go," I said sadly.

"I swear, if he lays one finger on you-"

I laughed. "Don't worry, Jacob," I said, pointing to my chest. "Half-vampire, remember?"

He laughed too, and nodded. "Forgot."

"So should I say yes?" a voice asked, making me jump. I realized Alice was still standing there.

"NO!" I yelled to her face, and she winced. "Oh," I said. "I'm sorry, Alice."

"Don't worry about it," she said, pretending to be wiping spit off her face. "But I saw Howard taking you, so Edward might say yes anyways."

I narrowed my eyes. "I'll tell Howard I'm married to Jacob."

Jacob burst out laughing, and Alice sighed. "Fine," she said. "You do that." Then she turned around and left, just as the "end of lunch" bell went off.

Jacob pretended to pout. "I'll see you at home," he said.

"Home?" I asked, and he grinned.

"Yeah," he said. "I'm moving out of my little house into yours."

"YES!" I said. "Now I will always know what you're doing! MUAHAHAHAHAH!" I laughed evilly.

He laughed too. "And I don't have to cook anymore!" he exclaimed. "Which means we can go to La Push more often!"

"Yeah!" I said. "Every weekend, we can drive back all the way to Washington!"

He grinned, and then turned suddenly, as if someone had called his name. "I'll see you later," he said. "Bye!"

I waved, and he disappeared into the school. I followed him, taking off to my next class. This day had gotten a whole lot better. But now I had Friday night to worry about. Eww. Howard.
