The Fourth Chapter

So this will probably seem like a filler, but it's an important chapter to read. Thanks to the maximum (ha ha, Maximum Ride) to those who are dedicated readers and who truly enjoy what I write…..or type. Whatever. So thank you very much! And in case you were wondering, the hunk in the silver Volvo was Emmett!!!!! Yes, it is true. And I don't know if Renee was a single child, but here she apparently has a twin. On with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, but I own Mac, Beth Ann, and others. There will be some other people I made up in this chapter.

Renee

I am quite depressed. It's a very strangely bright day outside in May, and I am stuck in the house! Beth Ann is out with Charlie and I am very jealous. I am not one to keep in my feelings, so she knows how I feel about him. Yet, she's out with him. I can not believe her!

I sit down on the old couch in the small space we call the living room. Yeah, right. Me and my sister live in a small, one-bedroom house next to the college that we go to. We made another bedroom out of the dining room and that is where I sleep. At dinner time, we eat wherever. The television set is super old from an antique shop, and most of the pots and pans used for cooking has been passed through the generations.

The beds that we sleep in are just piled up mattresses with moth eaten blankets. The newest item that we own is probably my motorcycle. It was my high school graduation present. Beth Ann received a puppy. Yep, a brand spankin' puppy! I love my motorcycle, but her mini Maltese is so cute. She named it Dot. A girl mini Maltese named Dot? I don't know how she came up with the name, but I still love the little scruff of fur.

"Renee!" I hear someone yell. I guess I had been day dreaming, because I saw my friend Kelly at the door. She was banging loudly on the red wood of the front door with her face pressed up to the little glass window in the middle of it. I smiled weakly at her and stood from my place on the couch.

You see, Kelly is what you city folk would call bratty and what us country folk would call a priss. She hung over guys and talked nonstop about weekend trips that I was dragged along to. Of course, we have gone on a weekend trip every week, and they were all to the local shopping center. Not much there, but she was satisfied with the dress shop and the drugstore for makeup.

I unlocked the door to let Kelly in. "Oh my gosh! Renee, you will never guess!" Kelly exploded. She dragged in a deep breath and said everything in one strand of words: "So, I decided that Anthony is a whole lot cuter than Jeff, so I asked him out on a date and he said YES!!! And I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come with us, like, on a double date if you have someone you can ask??"

I sighed and took her arm, pulling her into my some kind of bedroom.

"Kelly, I don't know if I could ask anybody. I mean… there is… someone…um…"

Her eyes bulged out and she leapt to her feet right on my bed (cough mattresses cough). She jumped up and down, up and down, squealing, "RENEE!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!!! A guy? Seriously? OMG, this is the best day EVER! You have to ask him and we'll double date to that nice café in town, and we can go shopping for the perfect dress and we ca…"

I interrupted her by holding up my hand. I am one of the more civilized country girls, if you can believe it. She immediately stopped talking to hear what I had to say.

"You don't get it. My sister is…dating him." I mumbled. Kelly hung her head and, I swear, started weeping. I rubbed her back, even though I should be the one who gets the comforting words. In fact, I was planning to go into a crying fit after she left.

"Come on, Kel. Let's get some water.", and I led her off to the teeny kitchen. All of the water me and Beth Ann get to our house is from underground wells, and I saved up for a purifier. So technically, you can't really taste any difference in the water here and the water somewhere else. Kelly gladly took the glass I filled from the tap. As she drank, little bubbles rose in the water and some exploded on her face. I laughed when I realized she was hiccupping.

When Kelly got her breath, she turned to me with red eyes. "Renee, you have to ask him to go out with you and me and Anthony." She sounded real whiny. Like I said a priss at heart. "It could be sooo much fun!" I shrugged, but she gave me some weirdly adorable puppy dog eyes. I heard a whimper from the doorway of the kitchen, and there was Dot. Sure enough, the same eyes were plastered on her face.

I giggled and retrieved a treat from the drawer by the fridge. "Can't beat Dot." I mumbled to Kelly. She rolled her eyes and tried one last time to get me to ask out Charlie. "Renee, listen. You seriously like this guy from the sound of it, and you deserve a boy friend. Pwetty pweez?" She sounded like a baby.

I winced and inhaled, then exhaled.

"Kelly," I began, forming an insult in my mind. Her eyes bore me down. "I'll ask him tomorrow."

Hope this is good!!! I try not to make it too long or too short, but New Moon release date will be the great truth and from there, the ending approaches!!!!
