RENESMEE'S POV
"We really need to stop this whole moving thing, folks!" I told my parents as we threw the last box in the garage.
My family and I –and by family I mean Dad, mom and I – decided to move from the main house, over to a not-as-large house only a couple of minutes away that Esme built for us.
The Cullen family thought that since Edward, Bella and I were a family of our own, we needed our own space. It's been four months since we moved here, and yet we had to move again! Ugh!
It was a good thing the house was fully furnished though, so we didn't need to take much, mostly just our clothes. The house was amazing, in fact, probably even more amazing than the cottage back in Forks.
It wasn't hidden in the outskirts of the forest like the main mansion; it was actually closer to the neighborhood houses. I guess that was meant so we'd stay closer to the humans to keep up the "façade".
"I promise you sweetheart, this is the last time." Bella chuckled. "This is the last time, right?" She turned to dad.
Dad chuckled. "Yes, my love." He said as he planted a kiss on the side of her head.
I shook my head as I set the vase on the coffee table.
"I still don't understand where these random killings come from." Edward pointed out.
My eyes widened.
Bella sighed. "You're still on about that, love?"
"Bella, I just think that it's weird that there are dead people found in the woods and nobody's pointing it out other than manslaughter. Something's fishy." Dad said to her.
"Oh come on, Edward. Just because we're living in a town that has a little crime here and there, doesn't automatically mean there's something supernatural about it." Bella replied.
"Bella, it's not like it's not something to look into." He argued.
Bella sighed. "Nessie, honey," Mom called me out.
I lifted my head and turned to her.
"Hmm?" I hummed.
"What do you think?" She questioned.
I don't know! What should I think? I mean I know what I should think but I don't know what to think! Dear god! I was in a mental catatonic state and I had no way out of it.
"U-uhmm…I think you're right mom." I said to her.
Edward frowned at me.
"See!" Bella raised her hand up.
Dad rolled his dark eyes.
"Alright, fine. I'll let it go," He sighed as he finished plugging in the plasma TV. "All done!"
"So, Nessie, Jacob's coming over while your dad and I go hunting with the family." Mom told me.
I frowned. "Mom, I don't need a babysitter," I said to her.
"No. Don't see it that way. You get to hang out with your best friend." She pointed out. I rolled my eyes.
"Right." I replied.
We heard the main door suddenly unfurl and the musky scent reached my nostrils.
"Oh speak of the devil." Mom hummed as she scrunched her nose.
"Who can get away from that?" Edward laughed as he went to my mom's side.
"Little High, Little Low!" Jacob's loud, deep voice radiated the air.
"Little Hay! Little Ho!" Bella replied with a giggle.
"You guys really need to stop watching Stuart Little; you're both two decades older for that." I laughed.
"Hey, it's our favorite movie!" Jake quarreled as he entered the room.
I turned to him and my heart jumped. His presence alone sent shivers running down my spine.
His eyes seemed dazed as he stared at me. "Hey,"
I let a small smile form on my lips. "Hi,"
"So we're going to get going." Bella told us, grabbing our attention from each other. She draped an arm around dad, after slipping on her sneakers. "You guys have fun."
"But not too much fun," Edward stated, glaring at Jake who hid away from his gaze.
"Don't break the house down." Mom told me. I rolled my eyes.
She and dad headed for the door and sped inhumanly out of the house and to the woods.
I let out an exasperated breath.
"Parents," I giggled nervously as I turned to Jake with my hands tucked in my back pockets.
"You got to love 'em," He told me, flashing his familiar Jakey grin.
I smiled and gnawed my bottom lip, staring at the ground awkwardly.
Jake and I hadn't talked since that night of the bowling date. Well not really. It's been really awkward between us ever since then. Maybe it's courtesy to the fact that I have unresolved feelings for him.
Wait! Why am I thinking about that? The whole plan is to get over it, not bring it back!
"So what do you wanna do?" He asked me.
"Well, I was just about to pick out a dress for the wedding?" I said –as more of a question rather than a statement.
"Oh," He nodded his head. "Need any help?"
I stared at him with a raised brow.
"You want to help me pick out a dress?"
He shrugged. "I've lived with two sisters for half my life," He simply told me.
"Um…well okay then," I laughed as I began heading up the stairs to my room with him following.
… …
"What about this one?" I asked as I flashed the floral dress Esme got me for my fifth birthday.
"It looks great." He smiled widely, sitting on the edge of my bed and juggling a tennis ball.
I frowned at him then turned to the dress.
"That's what you said for the last ten dresses." I said to him as I slipped the dress back on the rack.
"I guess you look great in anything," He told me.
I rolled my eyes but could feel a blush forming on my cheeks.
"Sweet," I stated as I ran my hand through the clothes on the rack of my closet.
"Are you excited for the wedding?" He asked.
"Are you kidding?" I laughed. "I mean, duh, my granddad is getting married to the love of his life. I mean, not many find their true love for a second time and Sue is just perfect for him."
"Yeah, they are pretty perfect. Who would've thought?" He told me. "Although, there was an undeniable attraction between them before but they didn't act on it until after Harry died."
I widened my eyes. "Seriously?"
"Yeah, Seth was the only one that noticed." Jake laughed.
"Wow," I answered. I found a dress that looked okay and I grinned. "How about this?"
He grinned. "It's pretty, I like it."
I pouted my bottom lip as I eyed the ruffled creamy ensemble.
"Yeah, I don't like it. Ugh! Alice is so good at this." I sighed in frustration as I placed the dress back.
"So uh, I have a question." Jake said awkwardly.
"Shoot,"
"Are you and that Justin guy, you know…like are you guys together?" He asked me.
My heart thumped, pounded, panned, and jumped at those words. Oh my freaking god! Why am I feeling this way? It's just a question!
However, it's a question I totally wasn't expecting him to ask.
"I don't know. I mean…" I paused. "I guess."
I heard a long pause and his breath began to quicken.
Answer dammit!
"Oh," He replied.
'Oh'? Oh?! That's all you have to say.
"I mean, he's a nice guy and I like him I guess." I said to him.
"Hey, do you want something to drink? I'm thirsty." Jake pointed out, completely diverting from the conversation.
"Um…no I'm good," I replied as I watched him get up and headed for the door.
He nodded his head. "Be right back,"
I watched as he left the room. My eyes couldn't help but travel down his muscular back until he vanished.
I exhaled an uneven breath.
It was not going to be easy being around him almost 24/7.
… …
I woke up that Friday and prepared for school, leaving the house almost immediately.
I hopped out of the car as I reached the parking lot. I glanced at my watch to see that I was five minutes late for my class. Ugh! I was a vampire, I could just snap and I'd be at school on time, why am I late?
Well maybe I would've been on time if my dad didn't pick a perfect time to give me a lecture on boyfriends! Like seriously?!
Thank god my mom intervened.
I walked into the school building, with my books cradled against my chest and heading for homeroom. I suddenly felt a large, strong figure bump into me. My heart thumped fast at the sudden movement, and the shock caused me to drop my books flat on the ground. I gasped, looking up to see Justin's panicked face.
"Oh my god!" I squeaked, running my hands through my hair.
"You scared the hell out of me." I told him.
His eyes widened and his face looked pretty relieved to see me, as if I had died and come back to life.
"You're okay!" Justin sighed breathlessly.
I giggled as I bent down to pick my books up.
"Once I get my heart to start beating again, yeah," I said as he bent down to help me. I looked up to see his eyes of happiness. I frowned but kept my smile.
"What?" I asked.
He sighed. "I'm just really happy to see you."
"Attention students, this is your principal speaking. I know you're all wondering what the incident was that occurred last night to one of our janitors at the pool and the event that happened at the bowling alley not so long ago. While the police department works to determine what happened, classes will continue as scheduled." Principal Philips told us on the school monitor. Everyone in the hall groaned. "But I will give you good news. We have an announcement and I'm pretty sure you ladies will be pleased. Have a great day everyone, and Mr. Goldstein, please meet me in my office. Thank you!" Principal Philips dismissed.
Everyone in the hall groaned in irritation and disappointment.
I smiled at Justin and ruffled his soft, thick hair.
"I'll see you later then?" I asked him.
"Yeah," He sniggered and nodded his head, smiling from ear to ear. He looked like such an adorable dork.
I giggled and gave him a light punch on the shoulder before walking to my homeroom class.
… …
I was making my way to my AP Biology class when Felicity ran over to my side and draped her arm around mine.
"Morning, beautiful," She greeted.
"Hey," I laughed.
"So, have you thought about the cheerleading offer?" Felicity asked me.
"Um…yeah, I guess."
"And…?" She asked in hopefulness.
I sucked in a deep breath, staring down at the gorgeous short blonde.
I sighed in defeat. "Fine, okay!"
"Yes!" She squealed. "This is so exciting! This is going to be great! And I'm not talking about championships but Olympics baby!" She added. "So there's practice today and your presence is mandatory! We can finally make the pyramid, I mean sure, we'll need to kick Caitlyn Murano out but she was dead weight anyway,"
"Look Felicity. I'm flattered but I'm only doing this as an extracurricular activity. I'm not planning on partaking in any championships. I still need to focus on school, you know." I told her.
"Oh…" She sighed, looking bummed. "Yeah, I mean, I get it. It just would've been fun s'all,"
Felicity and I entered Ms. Maguire's classroom and took our seats.
Ms. Maguire (Lizzie) and I were close after knowing each other for the past three months. She was a pretty good teacher but also a great companion, a friend.
I was worried about her though. She's gotten really close with Mr. Ainsworth –the alleged vampire teacher – and I think there's something going on between them. Mr. Ainsworth hadn't shown any signs of being dangerous but how would I know that? I've only known him for a short while.
And I didn't have solid proof he was indeed a vampire. I mean sure, the eye thing was one and the paleness would be one of the obvious signs but other than that, I had nothing.
I needed to uncover the truth.
But I can't do it on my own.
"Oh, Charles," She giggled uncontrollably as she entered the classroom with Mr. Ainsworth on her tail.
"I would love to take you out tonight, my lady." He said to her smoothly.
"Yeah, I would, once I'm done with grading these papers." Lizzie stated.
"I can grade them for you." He pointed out. She raised her eyebrow at him. "I'm fast at grading papers,"
"Is that so?" Lizzie laughed.
"Mhmm," Charles Ainsworth hummed.
"Well, do you have a 5.0 GPA in Biology?" She asked him.
"No. But I have an IQ that's off the charts." He teased.
"Yeah right," Ms. Maguire laughed. "I have to start my class,"
Everyone in the class gagged as Mr. Ainsworth leaned in to plant a gentle kiss on her cheek, lingering his lips there for a while.
"I'll see you later then." He said before turning over to the class and eying me for a while, until he vanished.
"He's totally hot!" Felicity giggled as she twirled the tips of her hair.
Lizzie was blushing a deep beet red and couldn't control the smile on her face as she turned over to the class. I furrowed my eyebrows.
Something's not right.
"Okay class! Let's begin," She cleared her throat as she went over to the board.
When the class was over, I went over to the teacher's desk and caught her staring at the picture frame of her and her baby brother, Carter Luca, and then changing over to the frame that had her and Mr. Ainsworth in it.
"Um, hey!" I greeted her.
She lifted her head and beamed up when she saw me.
"Oh hey, Renesmee!" She grinned as she set the frame on the desk.
"How're doing?" I asked her.
"I'm great. I really am." She widened her grin as she thought along. "Things are going really great."
I smiled softly.
"So I see you and Mr. Ainsworth are together?" I asked.
"Oh yeah, he's just so amazing. He's not like any other guy I met in my life. He's not the typical jerkward of the male race, he's just so different. He cares for me, more so than anyone in the world ever could. Accepts me for who I truly am, allows me to be goofy whenever I want to be. You know what I mean?" She recited it as if it was a poem, maybe it was.
I nodded my head.
Oddly enough, I really did.
"Sounds like you love him." I chuckled.
"I know it's crazy. I mean look at me, I'm a love-struck puppy and it's only been a few months but I guess love doesn't tell time." She giggled.
My smile fell.
"Do you notice anything off about him lately? I mean when you two go out?" I asked.
She shook her head. "No. Not that I know of." She said. "Oh but he has his occasional moments."
"Like what?" I asked in curiousness.
"Well how he suggests we only go out in the night rather than in the day. But I guess he's probably one of those guys," She laughed but paused when she realized something and then narrowed her eyes at me. "Why are you asking?"
"No reason." I shook my head. "I'm just really glad you're happy,"
"I am. I truly am."
I grinned and nodded my head.
"Well I guess I better get going," I dismissed and left the class.
I guess I know one more thing now…
… …
After Biology, I began descending the staircases of the school when we rolled out of the class and began heading to our next class. I saw Justin pass by, on his phone.
"Hey!" I greeted him with a smile.
He turned to me, grinning widely as I stood in front of him.
"Hey!" He said.
"You busy?" I asked him, pointing at his phone.
"Oh no, uh…it's just my mom. She's nothing," He told me.
I frowned. His mom is nothing?
"I mean it's nothing. I'm never too busy for you," He replied. I grinned.
"I like the sound of that." I giggled. "Uh I have to run to Spanish class but I just wanted to let you know that we're going out later."
"We are?" He asked in shock.
"Yeah, you, me, Felicity and Hunter! It's going to be great." I smiled at him. "Tell Luke to come with. Uh –save me a seat at lunch. I got to go!" I said to him before walking away and headed for my locker.
I felt a jittery feeling like I was being followed as I pulled my books out. I skimmed my eyes through the empty halls. I literally felt like an energy was surging through the room and it wasn't a friendly.
The second ring of the bell reached my ears and caused me to flinch.
I laughed as I shut my door and headed to my Spanish class I had with Alex.
After the class, Alex and I were heading over to the cafeteria for lunch.
"So what do you think the announcement's about?" I asked her as we reached the crowded cafeteria.
"It's probably going to be about Junior prom coming up." She replied with an eye roll.
"Junior prom? Isn't it months away?" I asked.
"Yeah, there's this thing the school does in order to generate hype for the 'big day'. It's kind of lame but whatever," She stated as we stood in line for our food. "Like what's up with school dances anyway? Are they trying to make girls have a mentally that they have to always have a guy by their side? I mean, like some girls like to feel independent, not all girls, apparently," She stated as she pointed at the girls who were clinging on their boyfriends. "I mean have some self-worth ladies!" She retorted, loud enough for some girls to hear.
I giggled.
"Not to mention the norms of 'prom'!" Alex rolled her eyes.
"The norms being the 'Prom King and Queen' title?" I pointed out.
Alex nodded her head.
I sighed. "I get it. You're right, not all of us need to depend on a man for happiness."
"Honey, I'm always right." She stated.
I smiled.
"It's always great when you have someone that respects that you're way more badass than they are. Some guys are sore losers." She added.
"Yeah," I laughed as I took my food and we began heading to our table. "Wait what do you mean by that?"
"Oh, didn't I tell you about Seth and I?" Alex questioned as we took our seats. I widened my eyes.
Seth and Alex got together? About damn time!
"Hey!" Justin's voice reached my ears. I looked up to see him taking a seat next to me, planting a kiss on my cheek before taking a chunk out of his apple. I grinned.
"Oh my god!" Luke's annoyed grunt came into view as he roughly took a seat by the table and slammed his backpack on the ground.
I laughed. "Dude, are you okay?" I asked.
"Coach Flak benched me again. I seriously think that guy hates my guts, I'm pretty sure he knows I tepeed his house the other night." Luke groaned.
"I have a hunch that's the reason why you're benched, dufus," Alex stated with an eye roll. Luke mocked her.
"I have a lot prepared for him for winter break so guys get ready for the show!" Luke grinned mischievously.
I rolled my eyes.
"Attention, attention all students," Principal Philips voice reached our ears. "This is your principal speaking,"
"No shit—" Alex chuckled.
"I know you're all pretty excited about winter break but before we get to that, I have a few announcements to make. Midterm schedules will be found on the notice board if anyone's interested, although, you should all go check it out because your first midterm will begin the first day you return from your break." He pointed out.
Everyone rioted and rammed along in the cafeteria, protesting their heads off.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Alex growled.
"And on to the next announcement, Coach Flak will take over." Principal Philips stated. After a while, a piercing screeching sound murdered our eardrums and we all groaned.
A clear of a throat came when the screeching sound ended.
"Good day, fellow students of Oakland Woods High! This is Coach Flak." He told us all through the megaphones.
"Boo!" Luke stated with a mouthful.
"It's been a great year for the Hurling team this past semester, courtesy to our favorite captain, Hunter Hamilton," He mentioned. Hunter and his cult roared in applause.
"Anyway, geniuses, this year we're planning on making this an epic year for all including me." Coach said. "Due to the recent chicken pox/pink eye pandemic –thank you Goldstein – we won't be having our first game which will qualify for the state championships. However, we will be able to get through after winter break which will require hard work and dedication from all you lazy asses! So now I've come to a decision. From here on out, we're immediately switching to co-captains, congratulations Mr. Mazzola," Coach Flak stated.
Everyone's eyes narrowed over to Justin who had a shocked look, lingering all over him.
"What the hell? What is this? Huh! What the hell is this?!" I heard a loud shout coming over from the table across the cafeteria. I turned to see Hunter stomping on his feet in absolute frustration whilst Felicity tried calming him down.
"Now this takes nothing from you Hamiltoad, this is about combining separate strengths into one unit. Mazzola's unit and Hamilton's unit equals one big…unit!" Coach Flak stated. "Thank you,"
Hunter and his clique began storming out of the cafeteria. He glared at Justin with flared anger before leaving through the doors.
I laughed and spun my head over to Justin.
"Omigosh! You're team captain!"
"Woohoohoo!" Luke screeched as he shot up and began boogie dancing, causing annoyed eyes to transfix on him. "Party, yeah," He murmured awkwardly as he saw all eyes on him and sat down.
Justin was still shocked.
"Our next announcement is the Junior prom. As you all know, this event is extremely important to all you girls." The principal stated.
"Not me," Alex stated.
"So I'd like to point out that casting of the nominees will be announced when you all return. Last but not least, the supply closet is now strictly off limits for frolicking in, we've received complaints from the janitors so if it's not too much to ask, stay away from there children. Also, don't forget to donate one dollar into the contribution box, to fix the leakage in the locker rooms, caused by none other Mr. Goldstein," Principal Philips groaned. "Stay safe and have a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year."
"I hope it's finally over. Oh, the agony!" Alex pointed out.
I laughed.
… …
Felicity came over to my house straight afterschool to "study" with me –which wasn't needed – and help me prepare for tonight. We were heading to the movies with our um, boyfriends. We were going to watch Tears Of Blood –this crazy horror movie I've been dying to see with Jacob – and we'd be heading to the fare later on tonight!
Alex couldn't make it because she'd much rather spend her time doing anything else than spending a day with Felicity. Her words and I totally respected that. I just thought it'd be fun hanging out with her, maybe another time.
I unfurled my closet room and pulled the rack where I set up outfits for occasions like this. I had to switch Alice's over the top ensemble just a little bit. I was just a teenage girl, not a runway model!
I pulled the first outfit and showed it to Felicity, it was a ruffled, patterned blouse with a skirt and a red blazer.
She hummed, eying it properly before saying,
"Mmm, pass," She said.
I frowned then turned back and grabbed a leopard printed sundress. She shook her head,
"Pass." She said quickly.
I giggled and turned back to my closet and snatched a tight, with a tank top and a red cardigan. She sighed.
"Pass," She told me.
I like this one!
"Okay, Rens. You have stellar clothes, I'll give you that, but you seem to have trouble grouping them together." She laughed as she got up and walked up to me, entering my walk-in closet. "Let's see…"
She began scanning through all my outfits on the rack.
"Pass." She said, sliding one away. "Pass," She said, sliding another away. "Pass on all of it. Okay! I think we're in a little predicament. You have gorgeous clothes but my respect for your taste in fixing it up is dwindling by the second," She teased.
I rolled my eyes.
She snatched a few pieces from each outfit and put them together. She eyed what she had down and frowned.
"Huh," She scoffed. "How about this?" She handed it to me.
I sighed and walked over to my mirror. I placed the outfit in front of me.
It looked great!
The door suddenly unfurled and I shot my head up to see my dad waltzing into the room in a plaid shirt tucked into his dark jeans and accessorized with a brown belt, carrying a jacket in his grasp.
I frowned.
What the hell was he doing here?
I turned to Felicity whose jaw dropped to the floor when she saw my dad.
"Uh, hello dad?" I questioned with a confused look.
He smiled at me, and then noticed my facial expression and sighed.
"Right, sorry, I forgot to knock." He told me, giving me his shy crooked grin.
I told my dad to never just waltz into my room unannounced. I mean who'd want to be caught coming out of the shower by their dad! How embarrassing!
Felicity scoffed and hopped onto my bed and lay there in a sensual position, twirling the tips of her long hair and placing her left hand on her hips.
"Hey, Mr. Cullen," She giggled, giving my father a quick survey.
Dad gave her a nod and a polite smile.
I frowned. Was my friend flirting with my dad?
Oh right! I forgot that my dad was once attractive to everyone in this entire world! And apparently still is.
"Dad, do you need something?" I questioned awkwardly, rubbing the back of my neck.
"Uh yeah, your mother and I are heading out for date night and we're going to stop by and visit Seth later so I came in to tell you, you're staying in tonight." He said to me.
I narrowed my eyes at him.
Was he serious?
"What? I'm going out with my friends tonight." I told him.
He knew that!
"No, not when there's some animal or serial killer trying to slaughter the whole town." He informed me. I eyed him carefully.
Why was he doing this?
"Dad, dad, I've been –" I tried to protest but he stopped me.
"Ah, ah," He called. I sighed. "It's not fully my decision. There's a curfew tonight around this perimeter so no one's allowed to be out after 9:00 pm."
I rolled my eyes, gnawing my bottom lip,
He seriously is impossible.
"I'm not trying to be impossible I'm trying to be reasonable." He told me as he read my mind. I shifted my gaze from him. "I'm sorry but rules are rules."
I rolled my eyes, throwing my outfit onto my bed and sighing in frustration.
"Hey," Dad called out. I turned to him. I noticed a change in his appearance. He darkened his hair and applied a few highlights of grey to make him seem older than he was. "No more arguing," He warned me.
I nodded.
"Have a good day Felicity." Dad stated, nodding at her before dismissing himself.
"You too," Felicity hummed, eyeballing him as he left the room.
When the door shut, Felicity giggled.
"Hot," She said. She got up from the bed and stared at me. "Someone's daddy's little girl?"
I gnawed on my bottom lip as I thought about what just happened. Why was my dad being an annoyance lately? Ever since we came to California he's been treating me like I'm some top-notch kid that needed a bodyguard 24/7. He's too overprotective, once I thought it was so awesome and I thought I felt safe but now I feel like a prisoner.
"Sometimes," I sighed and then grabbed my jacket. "But not tonight," I added and slipped my hat on, and began creeping over to the door to make sure the door was locked.
I tiptoed my way over to the window.
One of the disadvantages of having soundproof doors is that nobody out of them can hear me.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Felicity asked me.
I didn't answer as I climbed out of the window and stood on the roof.
I watched my dad's car leave the driveway and I smiled in anticipation.
Everyone was out.
Perfect!
As soon as the coast was clear, I began sauntering carefully on the tiled roof.
"Renesmee! You're not gonna jump are you?" Felicity asked me in absolute panic.
I smiled as I stood on the edge. I sucked in a deep breath before flipping over the new two-story house and landing perfectly on my two feet.
"Great reflexes!" I whispered breathlessly, staring up at Felicity who had eyes of astonishment. "You coming?"
She stared at me as if I was crazy, maybe I was.
"I'll take the stairs." She replied.
… …
After watching the movie, we all headed to the fare where almost everyone from the school was hiding out. What I liked the most about Oakland Woods was it never snowed.
After getting on rides, we decided to play the 'land' games. It was pretty competitive. And it seemed like Felicity and I were more into it than the boys were.
I guess it's because of the tension.
I shot the spray gun at the balloon target until it popped. I squealed and did a little jump when I won the huge panda bear.
"What aren't you great at, Rens?" Justin asked in astonishment.
I blushed as I handed the bear to him to carry.
"So what happened to Luke?" I asked him as I skimmed through the different games we could tackle.
"Well uh…he couldn't make it. He didn't want to interfere in Felicity and Hunter's couple time." Justin laughed.
I sighed.
"He really likes her, doesn't he?" I asked. He nodded his head.
"Since the fourth grade," Justin told me.
That's so sad. Luke had had a crush on Felicity for years and she had no idea. I don't even think she paid attention to him.
We then went over 'hammer-thrash' as they called it.
"I don't think I can do that." I told them.
Justin took the sledgehammer from my grasp and slammed it against the bouncer, causing the target to hit the bell. I squealed and clapped my hands.
"Great shot!" I giggled as I watched the man hand him his prize.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with a stuffed tiger though," He said as he stared at the object. I laughed.
I could hear our friends arguing beside us as they waited for their turn.
"Hunter?" Felicity called him out as she twirled the tips of her hair.
"What?" Hunter groaned, with his arms crossed.
"I don't like your look," Felicity told her boyfriend.
Hunter rolled his eyes. "I don't care,"
"Can you just attempt to have a good time?" Felicity snapped, darting her head at him.
He turned to her and gave her expression of annoyance.
"Can you not invite me out with your lame friends?" Hunter growled, staring at his girlfriend with disgust.
I widened my eyes and tilted my head to Justin. Someone needs to be in a naughty corner and cool off the hater aid.
"Okay, then…" Felicity sighed, continuing with her twirling. "Oh and try not to hurt your wrist out there, because you're definitely going to need it tonight."
Hunter scoffed. "At least I have a tight grip,"
"Let's start a new game. Hmm?" Felicity said, getting up from her seat. "I'll go first."
Hunter mocked her.
She grabbed the sledgehammer and gave it a hard shot, causing it to hit the bell lightly.
I widened my eyes.
"Um, wow!"
"Thank you!" She grinned like a five year old as she took the stuffed wolf from him. "I don't like wolves but it's cute nonetheless," She giggled.
My eyes lingered over to the stuffed wolf and I couldn't help but wander off to thinking about Jacob. I try not to think about him but I just can't kill the feeling. Everything I see, I see Jacob and I really don't know how to stop.
Justin and I decided to take a walk around the park after another round of carnival games.
"So you're going to your granddad's wedding?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I'm really excited." I told him.
He smiled.
"Do you have a date?"
"Nope," I replied.
"Oh," He grinned slightly.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, I don't want a date," I teased him. "I'm going stag. I wouldn't want a repeat of you ditching me again."
He chuckled. "I'm sorry about that, again."
I shook my head.
"Hey, about that, you caught a ride with Ray Parker right?" Justin asked in curiousity.
"Your friend?"
"He's not my friend," Justin snarled lowly. I frowned. "How much did you talk to him when he drove you home that other night?"
"Not much at all," I replied.
Why was he so interested?
"What did you say?" He asked me aggressively.
I suddenly began feeling awkward as I felt his eyes pierce through me like blades. I was feeling uncomfortable answering under pressure.
I stared at my watch.
"Um, I think I better get going." I told him as I began walking away.
"Renesmee—"
"I-I really have to go." I told him.
He grabbed me by the wrist and made me spin around.
"I'm sorry for asking you those questions I just. I don't know. I'm really sorry," He said to me, although I knew he wasn't completely telling the truth.
I sighed.
"My parents are going to kill me now that I'm way past my curfew," I told him, immediately changing the subject.
"Oh you're right about that," I heard my Uncle Emmett's voice appear.
My eyes widened and heart sped up as I spun around to see him and Aunt Rosalie standing in front of us.
I'm doomed.
