This is the quickest update and I have no idea why :o I've just had a terrible day so I finished the chapter. I'm just going to go ahead and do what my history teacher did to our class: complain to everyone about everything.
Feel free to skip:)
So I had a disgusting lunch, got almost attacked as the people next to me (I don't like) had a play fight. couldn't sit on the other bench cause someone else was sitting there, got pushed off that bench and had to stand on my own leaning against a pole, depressing talk out drugs period 2, boys teasing me period 3 (I do like them) and trying to revise for my end of year test period 4!
I also had to listen to my history teacher say her fiancée was being unfair about Spartacus (her kitten) just because he made a hole in their expensive dining chair and tipped the kitty litter over the floor!
To quote the wise Sheldon Lee Cooper "B****es be crazy"
Yeah... Now you can read :) xx
It has been two months since our first day of school and everything is just as awkward as it was in the beginning. Grandpas job has been going well but I still don't see why he does it. We have too much money! Who am I kidding. We could never have too much money. It's stashed all over the world in hundreds of different accounts for anyone of us to access. Especially me when I have to visit my sorta-kinda-boyfriend.
One week into the school year and Daddy began complaining. "I just don't see why you're with those boys so much," He was jealous... "Be with your family. That's how I grew up..." He trailed of suggestively.
"Nope. And they're my friends. You know? The ones who are there for me? I can't leave them."
"No, Nessie. It's not that. They are boys; what about Jacob? He's the one who will be jealous."
"No, Daddy," I mimicked. "And Jacob has his own problems with those cars. He shouldn't be worrying about me." Jake had been recently called all over to fix up cars and his reputation as an excellent mechanic was definitely boosting his confidence. It made me feel better to know that I helped him get these jobs but the hole that was left when he went away would never be filled by some human.
I could see my father listening to my thoughts and he smiled crookedly when he realised I was right. "Yes, I know, you're right." When I thought I was free to go, Dad pulled me into a tight embrace and I squealed with laughter. I'll always be your little girl.I think that was the only disagreement we'd had about school and I was thankful. Even though I really enjoyed sitting and interacting with humans, more than I thought I would, I did miss Jacob. I couldn't hide all my feelings from my talented family and they always tried to take my mind off of him.
But school didn't help. I always had boys asking me out and it did hurt when I had to turn them down, but I couldn't really say I was taken. Not when I had no explanation as to who he was!
Olly helped. He was the only person that either wasn't obsessed with my clothes and my looks or wasn't obsessed with asking me out. I was hesitant, I didn't want to be dragged too far into his life as the Cullen's would have to leave in a few years. It would break his heart.
~oOo~
"Hey guys!" I walked over to the lunch table where my friends were sat.
"Hey Nessie!" A majority cried in chorus which led them into a fit of giggles. It was natural for me to sit with these crazy people at lunch but my Aunt Rosalie and my parents looked annoyed. They could have me at home, I reasoned.
I continued smiling and slowly shaking my head as I strolled towards them but Olly's hand on my shoulder made me stop. "Renesmee, I was wondering if you would like to sit with me today?" Didn't I always sit with him?
Olly felt my confusion and clarified "N-not with the others. Just me?" He said the second half more like a question and I instantly wondered what was on his mind.
I confidently led him to an empty table in the corner of the cafeteria and sat down like this was nothing unusual. Being alone with this boy was not something I has planned. Yes. He was just a boy. He hasn't gone through as much as I had; he has so much to live for.
"So," He began nonchalantly. "Is school going well for you?" It's been two months. If it was that bad he would've known. I refrained from rolling my eyes and smiled blazingly at Olly.
"Yes, thank you. Maybe meeting you and all your friends helped." I shouldn't be flirting, it was bad for both of us. The boy sitting across from me looked astonished at my comment.
I heard my dad whisper to me from the other side of the cafeteria. "Dial it down, honey. It isn't safe for any of us."
I know, but I can't help it!
"I know. You're just like your mother." Daddy began whispering to my mother then and I had to stop listening. I would throw up.
"T-thank you," What was up with Olly and the stuttering today? "So, I wanted to ask you something. Would you maybe like to-kinda-come-round-my-house Friday?" His question came out as one word and I pondered if it was because he was nervous.
I tried to be just friendly as I smiled again. But, of course, with my vampire hearing I knew what he had said and it got me panicked. I learnt from Grandpa that humans were more comfortable if you repeated from uncertainty. "Sorry. Was that if I wanted to go yours?" I did not like where this was headed.
"Yeh." He seemed much more relaxed now that I had repeated the question. Smart. "So, Friday. You wanna?"
"Sure! Thanks for inviting me. I don't really get invited to people's"
"Wonder why." My friend muttered under his breath and I pretended I hadn't heard.
Friday came around much faster than I expected after being chastised by every member of my family for getting too involved with a human's life.
I took my father's car, as my Porsche would have stood out too much, and I pulled out of the garage warily. I felt as if my aunts were staring at me through the beautifully carved windows as I began through the long, winding driveway. A girl like me shouldn't be scared about going to a friends house but I had never done this before.
Leaving my mother behind made it feel worse. I had always done everything with her and no one questioned it, whether it was my family or the people of the towns we visited.
My thinking seemed to last the whole drive as 15 minutes later I pulled up at his house. His parents weren't home. That wasn't a good sign for me.
I stepped out of the car and straightened my outfit to try to look presentable. Wearing casual ripped jeans and a t-shirt apparently wasn't up to Alice's standards of meeting a friend but I argued that he was a boy. Boys have thoughts. Of course no one could argue through my logic; I was too much like my parents.
My grimace turned into a smile as I strode up the path to Olly's house.
Once outside the door, I paused to take two deep breaths to promise myself our meeting would be normal.
I lifted my fist a knocked on the door. Almost straight away, like someone was standing directly behind it, the door swing open and revealed my friend.
His face seemed to immediately light up when his eyes met mine . "Hi!"
I'll start the next chapter tomorrow but I do have a history assessment due soon. I'll also try to update more regularly.
See you soon xx
