Author's note: Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight and it's original characters all I own is Aiden Bailey and the students of Hudson high school.
Just as Alice had promised we made it home ten minutes before my parents the next day. I was in my room reading my mom's old Jane Austen collection book when they got home. I was trying my hardest to not think about my makeover or Aiden Bailey so I added to the book by putting my headphones in and turning on Paramore to the loudest it would go. I had successfully blocked everything from my mind when my mom came in.
"What did you do to your hair?" she asked as soon as she saw me. I took one of the headphones out.
"Cut it." I answered simply. She came over and sat on the edge of my bed.
"yes I can see that. But why did you actually give in to Alice and Rosalie's demands? I thought I taught you better than that." she said and laughed her musical laugh that she had apparently gained when she was changed. I knew that I couldn't tell her the reason I let them cut my hair without thinking of Aiden so I knew exactly what to do.
"Mom could you shield me for a minute?" I asked while trying to think of anything but Aiden or night clubs. She looked confused for a minute but she did as I asked. I could tell by the concentrated look on her face. Only me and my dad paid enough attention to her to know when she was using her gift.
"ok your eavesdropping father can no longer hear your thoughts." she said with a smile.
"I did it so I would look prettier." I finally answered her.
"Renesmee you're gorgeous no matter what." she said as she ran her hand through my wavy bronze hair.
"you're my mom you're supposed to say that." I said as I moved away from her. Instead of moving back to me she got up and looked through my closet. She made an annoyed huff as she looked through my new clothes.
"I'm thinking these are Alice's doing too?" she asked. I just nodded. After a bit she took a pair of skinny jeans. "I can't believe I used to wear these. I feel so old!" she yelled in a depressed tone and laid down on my bed.
"Mom you're twenty-five! And you look eighteen!" I yelled. I thought that her problems with aging stopped when she did but I guess I was wrong. She sighed.
"I know." she said as she got up from the bed. "Esme would like to know if you want her to cook you some dinner or if you would rather go hunting?" she asked even though she probably already knew the answer.
"hunting." I said simply.
"do you want someone to go with you?" she asked. Again she probably knew the answer.
"no." I answered and started running out the door. I was able to catch my dad's face. he looked confused. Probably wondering why I had mom block me. As soon as I was about five miles away from the house and knew nobody had followed me I reached into my pocket and grabbed the napkin with Aiden's number on it. It was about five P.M. on a Sunday so hopefully he wasn't doing anything.
I looked at the screen of my cell phone and saw something that should have surprised me since I was in the woods. No bars. "Crap!" I cursed under my breath. An idea came to me and in a matter of seconds I was almost to the top of one of the tall pine trees. I checked my phone again. Two bars. That was good enough.
I dialed Aiden's number and he picked up on the second ring.
"Hello?" he greeted eagerly. It seemed as though he must have been waiting for my call.
"uh hey Aiden it's Renesmee from the club." I said nervously.
"Hey!" he said excited. "to be honest I thought you wouldn't call." he sounded embarrassed.
"why would you think that?" I asked.
"Well you seemed to leave pretty fast after I went back on stage." he answered.
"Oh that was just because of my idiot siblings. They're really protective of their…baby sister." I said following our cover story.
"oh…I'm really bad at talking on the phone do you think that we can meet up early tomorrow at school?" he asked politely.
"Absolutely! Uh I'll meet you by the statue of the mascot." I was trying to not sound too eager but it was really hard.
"Sure I'll see you then." he said.
"ok bye." I said and couldn't wipe the grin off my face.
"Bye." he repeated and I hung up. I almost fell from the tree because of my excitement but I caught myself. Even with my fast healing falling from that tree would have meant broken bones and then I wouldn't be allowed to hunt by myself again. Once I was safely on the ground I checked the time 6:00.
I didn't have enough time to hunt without my family becoming suspicious so I had to skip 'eating' for that day. It wouldn't be an immediate problem but I would have to wait a few days to hunt again to avoid suspicion. I would also have to avoid thinking of Aiden again which wouldn't be easy. My mom is so lucky it's unbelievable!
