Chapter Four
I looked into my fathers topaz eyes startled. You know about that?

"I'm your father, I know everything. Now promise me you won't mess with that poor kid."

I can't promise you that dad.

"Why in heavens not, Renesmee?"

I still want to be his friend. He was really nice to me. So, you know about Jake and, well, I hesitated. It's not everyday a girl talk to her father about a guy.

"What Ness?"

"Don't you object?" He smiled, ruffling my hair.

"Of course I object. But you are at that age where you're curious about the op-"

"Dad!" I hissed. I did not want to hear my father say the word sex to me. Matter of fact, I'm done with this conversation.

For the rest of the class period I thought of random things; location, rubber bands, world leaders, anything to not think about how close I really was to Jacob. His left elbow rested lightly on my right arm and it took everything I had to resist the urge to bury my body in his side, to let him smoother me in his iron tight grasp.I was more than appreciative when the bell wrong dismissing us. My father left me with Jacob as he went to find my mothers class. I can't believe its lunch already.

Jacob and I found the massive lunch room together. We were both flabbergasted as we entered the impressive two story lunchroom. I never thought everything in the school would have two story's.

"Renesmee?" Aunt Rose called from across the massive lunch room. I turned to find my family sitting at a table close to an exit, but far from a window, perfect. I walked over excited. I finally have something with all of them. "Hey guys." I greeted taking my seat
next to Aunt Alice. Jacob, yet again, took the seat next to me.

"How has your day been, Nessie?" Aunt Alice asked. Everyone was instantly curious, leaning in closer to hear my answer.

"Fine, although I could really go without the staring."

"It'll lighten up shorty. They'll get use to you being here everyday… So what about you, Jacob. How has your day been?"

Jacob glanced at me so fast I wasn't sure he'd really done it. "It's been a paradox."
I stared at him nonchalantly before he turned towards me. What does he mean 'paradox'?
How has his day been a contradiction in any way?

Unintentionally I found myself caught up in his brown, turning black as coal, chocolate eyes. For a moment I thought I really saw why he's been in a paradox and something deep inside, but fiercely pushing its way to the surface, told me to grab Jakes hand and hold on for dear life, but again I fought against that urge. The only urge I couldn't seem to fight against was the one that slowly begin to draw our faces towards each other. I was unable to stop moving and unconsciously he seemed to be in the same predicament.

"Ahem!" my mother cleared her throat loudly allowing her sweet breath to
enter my nose. It distracted me instantly as it took place of Jacob's aroma. I closed my eyes, releasing him from my gaze.

Was I really going to kiss him? Here, in front of my entire family plus a thousand? I leaned as far away, from him, as the small space allowed. No more mistakes Renesmee. Stay away from Jacob Black.

My mother and father sat across from me. Of course they were all over each other. I wanted to vomit. Get a room. I screamed mentally. My father glared at me from the corner of his eye. I smelt the all too familiar human scent before I even noticed my father and Jacob and my uncles stiffen. I turned with the best smile I could compose at the moment. I felt it reach across my face but I knew it didn't touch my chocolate eyes.

I watched as Johnny nervously made his way over to our table. This is the perfect opportunity to mess with…everyone. I would love to see my Aunt Roses face if Johnny asks to sit at the table and Jacobs face if Johnny sits next to him. And my dads face when Johnny looks at me with that weird look again.

So, dad? I called getting his attention. If I stay away from him, what's stopping
him from staying away from me? With narrowed eyes he grimaced.

"Me, when I ground you." He retorted. I looked at him, slightly startled.

You wouldn't! I challenged.

"The beauty of being a parent say's I can. Don't test me Renesmee Cullen."

"What are you two talking about, Edward?" My mother asked, but there was no time to answer her.

"Renesmee?" Johnny called as he finally reached our table.
I was frozen, glaring at my father for a fraction of a second before I turned to Johnny with the brightest smile I could manage. I watched as his Egyptian blue eyes glanced over my beautiful family. Lingering on their topaz eyes and their perfect noses and mouths, and skin…I felt inadequate.

"Can we help you?" My perfect Aunt Rose asked. Rose was as perfect as perfect gets. She was the most beautiful women anyone, immortal or mortal has ever laid their eyes on. She was a goddess, especially next to me, plain Jane. I shivered at the name. I was no Jane. Behind me my father sighed deeply.

Johnny looked astounded by the sound of my Aunts angel like voice. It made his heart beat increase, and it also made him stutter. "Umm…R-Re-nessme? I was wondering if you would like to join me for lunch?" I watched as the excitement in his eyes turned into hope and burned for a 'yes'. But if I proceed with my plan to use him, if I start it right now, then I will be 'grounded' for the first time in my life. The word personally sounded amusing.

I looked away from Johnny, looking at my father. He confirmed my grounding with a quick nod. Then i looked at Jacob's beautiful face and thought of the word 'grounded' once more. I smiled wickedly and turned back to Johnny. Start my punishment dad. I don't care.
As soon as I opened my mouth the sweet husky voice of Jacob spoke. "No," He growled. "she's sitting with her family." I smiled to myself. Happy that he cared enough to want me around, but I also frowned to myself. Who is he to answer for me?

"Oh, maybe next time then. See you ar-"

"No, Johnny wait?"

"Nessie!" My father hissed. I turned on Jacob and glared. I made sure I pronounced each of my words carefully, angrily, with venom.

"I can accept or turn down invites on my own Jacob Black. I do not need you to do it for me. I would love to sit with you Johnny. Where is your table?"

"Renesmee!" Jacob hissed under his breath.
I watched as Johnny beamed and pointed to the only table that actually touched a window. I beamed back, grabbing my things and heading to another table with a human boy at my side.

I could feel the stares, not only from my family, but from the entire room, this only made me beam bigger. "So Renesmee, why don't you tell me about yourself? What are your likes and dislikes, stuff on the lines of that?"

How does one compose a list of dislikes and likes if one hasn't experienced enough? I only like things I know, but now, looking at things I've missed out on, I'm not sure if I like the things I know. I wish I knew more. My resolve took two second of deliberation. Johnny was just beginning to wait for an answer to his question. "I like running, and swimming and playing baseball with my family. That's actually pretty fun to watch. I hu-hike all the time when the weather is perfect. I like playing the piano, my dad taught me."

"Really?" He asked interested.

I nodded my head. "I'm better then he is now, but I've taken an interest in guitar so piano is kind of behind me, but it will always be special to me because of my dad."

"What are your dislikes?" He seemed overly interested in this plain trivia, but I don't want to go back over to my family just yet. I can still feel their eyes burning into my back. I don't want to face that wrath until absolutely necessary.

"I dislike playing down my intelligence for others. I dislike people who lie. I dislike charades and I seem to dislike that tray of food you're eating." He laughed and took a big gulp of the vomit looking human food. It smelt like animal trails. When he swallowed he continued questioning me.

"What kinds of foods do you like?" He asked shyly. His shyness made me blush. A human has never made me blush before.

"I like fruit, any fruit. I like ice scream, sherbet is my favorite with strawberry closely in second. I like rare meat, steak, burgers anything and lastly, I love, love, love eggs. That's it, I don't have a taste for anything else." Except blood, but you don't need to know anything about that, trust me weak little human.

"I don't think you can make all of that out of one dinner, but maybe one day I'll try." My cheeks burnt crazy with heat. A human actually made me blush. Jacob is the only one who has ever made me blush. Johnny smiled and I had to look down to refocus.
"So," he said then paused. I looked up out of sheer curiosity. He didn't feel compel to continue.

"So what?" I asked impatiently.

"Well, I was just wondering, you know, if you were dating that Jacob guy?" Behind me I heard, not just six vampires stop breathing, but one big wolf as well. I glanced back at my family, only to meet Jacob's curious eyes. I turned away quickly.

"No." I answered honestly.

"Do you like him?" Why does he want to know this? This is an uncomfortable gray area that I do not enjoy speaking of especially not with a guy I've just met, a corner.
"Jacob, doesn't see anyone like that, he likes being alone." Behind me I heard a bitter
chuckled, but I ignored it. My answers seemed to make Johnny smile.

"So, you're not dating him, but you two seem so close. He's been by your side all day, more so than the rest of your family."

"Really?" Was that weird to him? Jake has always been around me more then the rest of my family has.

"So you're not dating him? Are you dating anyone else? No. Is there a reason behind that?" I smiled amused. There is a huge reason behind it, two actually. One, Jacob is such an idiot that he doesn't see me pine for him, even in sleep. And two is if I date anyone else I'd want to eat them. It was so odd how when I thought about eating a human Johnny's aroma swept over me. He smelt sweet, thick, tasty and that was just his blood. He was wearing cologne that brought his smell out more. It was a rich, musky smell; sweet and musky, yum. How could I have not noticed his scent before? Then I realized that every time I'd see him I'd been with Jacob, so of course I didn't notice before. Jake's scent beat out anyone's scent. I always chose him over everyone. He smells better then any sweet human, but I bet Johnny taste really good.

"Renesmee?" A voice hissed from behind me. I instantly snapped out of my trance, not realizing that i was inclined over the table, closer to Johnny. He was even inclined towards me. If I didn't know any better I could have sworn his lips were puckered. He was ready to kiss me. "Renesmee?" The voice called again. The voice was of course familiar, but I ignored him. That would have been interesting, my first real kiss.
"Renesmee!" my father hissed more furious then ever. He grabbed my upper arm and hauled me out of the cafeteria. I noticed Johnny's sadden and slightly frustrated face and I also noticed my mother and Jacob get up and follow after us at human speed. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen, I swear to the moon."

We walked out- well I was dragged out- of the cafeteria doors into the forsaken hallway. "I didn't do anything wrong dad. What are you doing?" He shoved me against the wall and began pacing in front of me using inhuman speed.
What are you doing? They could have cameras, or someone could be watching. Stop it dad!
"Have you lost your mind Renesmee?" He snarled. I winced away from his enraged tone. He'd never yelled at me for anything, ever. For the first time in my life I was truly scared of my father.
