Chapter 7
Renesmee
Renesmee leaned over from the rack of clothes she was going through to look at her friend Vicki. She had light brown hair with blonde streaks, hazel eyes and always walked around like she was lost.
They were shopping in downtown Seatle. Renesmee had met Vicki a month ago in Forks and they had been friends ever since. Vicki wasn't the brightest of humans and never seemed to notice Renesmee's fast growth spurt that had just ended or did she seem to think it was weird that she had never seen Renesmee before then.
That was one of the reasons Renesmee liked Vicki, her way of being totally oblivious to the things around her. She also liked the way she was easy to talk to and didn't overthink anything you said.
"How about this for ya?" Vicki said, holding up a plaid shirt.
"Uh...yeah. Great color." Renesmee said, not having the heart to tell her how much she hated plaid.
"So, where's your boyfriend?" Vicki asked, holding up another blouse to scrutinize it.
"My boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend."
Vicki gave her a look. "Ya know, that huge indian guy whose always following you around like some freaky stalker?"
"Oh, Jake. He's not my boyfriend. We're just friends."
"Hmmm...I see." Vicki gave her a suspicious look.
"Do you?" Renesmee asked curiously.
"I guess." Vicki shrugged. Then she threw up her hands in the air like she had just discovered the meaning of life. "Wait! So that means he's single?"
"Uh, yeah." Come to think of it, Renesmee had never seen Jacob with a girlfriend, ever. Hmmm...maybe he's gay? Renesmee pondered this while Vicki was saying something about a double date. No. He couldn't be gay. Could he?
"And then we could go to the mall or the movies...Oooh! You should totally ask him out for me!" Vicki concluded.
"Wait. Then who would I go with?" Renesmee asked.
"Duh! That Brian guy. Everyone knows he likes you." Vicki said, matter-of-factly.
Renesmee rolled her eyes. Brian was the bleach-blonde surfer type and was, in her opinion, way too full of himself. Everytime he seen her at the beach, he followed her around flirting like crazy, trying to get some kind of reaction out of her. But she usually just ignored him,the only reason he liked her was cuz,let's face it,she looked good in a bikini. Its not like she could help it!
All of the girls liked him because he was, as Vicki says, "Hotter than the sun".
But to Renesmee he was just another boring human who was attracted to her vampiric beauty. Big whoop.
Renesmee sighed, "Why would I date him?" Vicki opened her mouth, so Renesmee hurried on. "I mean, wouldn't you rather..uh..go on a date with Jacob by yourself?"
Vicki leaped up. "Ya would ask him for me?"
"Yah, of course. Your my friend aren't you?" Sides, it would be a good experiment to see if Jacob actually likes girls.She added thoughtfully.
...
Renesmee had just dropped Vicki off and now pulled into her driveway with her red Corvette that Rosalie had gotten her for her birthday. She put the car in park and got out, walking inside the huge Cullen mansion.
First, she went upstairs to her room and changed out of her jeans and into a pair of comfy checkered pj pants. Then, she went downstairs and to the kitchen, which was always kept packed full of food for her and any visiting wolves.
She shoved a packet of popcorn into the microwave and then raved the fridge for a bottle of blood. They always kept them in the back because it made some of the wolves uncomfortable seeing it sitting out.
She found one in the back, grabbed it and then turned when she heard the front door open.
She went running into the living room when she smelled Jacob.
"Jake, hi! I need to ask you something."
"Hey, Nessie...What do you need?"
Hm, how do I start? Renesmee wondered. "Well, my friend Vicki was wondering if..."
"If?" He repeated with a smile.
Renesmee was about to continue when she smelled something burning. What is that? She thought and then, Oh shit! My popcorn!
She ran quickly into the kichten and opened up the microwave to reveil a steaming black bag of popcorn.
"What's burning?" Carlisle came running into the room.
"Well...it was popcorn." She said throwing it into the garbage. "But I think I'll just have some chips."
Carlisle sighed and shook his head. "You need to eat healthier, Ne-Renesmee." He said before returning upstairs.
Jacob chuckled. "What were you saying?"
Renesmee glanced around the smoking kichten to look at Jacob.
She suddenly got a strange jealousy over the thought of Jacob dating someone else. "I was saying something?" She said innocently, batting her eyes.
She laughed at his confused look.
Finally, he laughed along with her. "Your losing it, Nessie."
She shook her head and said, "Nite, Jake."
Then she walked upstairs.
