P3 Chap25 Turn It Up-School Boy Humor
"Ahhh!" I screamed. I was riding on Seth's back to get away from Jake.
He was chasing me in the woods and he has the unfair advantage of
knowing the terrain.
Riding Seth (DON'T make that dirty) isn't as comfortable as riding
Jake but it'd do.
Me and Jake were having a bet. Whoever won would get to pick our next
date. I let that cheater pick the contest.
He had to catch me before I got to the edge of the forest to win.
He was gaining fast, but we were almost there. "Faster Seth!"
He picked up the pace just when we got to the river. Jake was such a
cheater! But I felt Seth crouch and grabbed his shoulders just in time
for him to jump across the river.
"We did it! We won! Yes!" I hissed.
Jake whined. I climbed off of Seth and went to pet my boyfriend.
"You're such a sore loser that I'm going to let you pick the date
anyway."
He licked my face. "If you were anyone else, I'd say that was gross."
He smiled that lopsided wolfy grin I'd grown so accustomed to. I
kissed his wet nose.
His eyes were burning with passion. I blushed and half-jokingly said,
"Go change so we can make out already." He threw me a grin and bounded
off for cover.
Seth had already changed back into shorts. "You know, he wishes you
would let him transform in front of you, although he refuses to say it."
I glanced at him. "Oh I know. But I promised Momma no nakedness
without a ring. I can barely take his shirtlessness as it is!"
He laughed. He also cocked his head to the side. "Lover boy's back,"
he whispered. "See ya soon Ness." He kissed me on the cheek in that
familiar family gesture.
"Bye Seth," I called as he ran off.
Jake came up and put an arm around me. "Miss me?"
"More than you know."
"Good news! Bloodsu-" I threw him a look. "Your dad," he corrected,
"says we can go back to school next week." He tried to rile up some
enthusiasm for me but school was never his thing.
"Oh Jake. There's only a semester and a half left to go through. Why
don't we just skip it?"
"Fine by me," he muttered.
I elbowed him. "Jerk. Try to be a little sensitive! This is my first
high school experience you know."
He squeezed me closer. "I know. But then I'd sound like your dad." He
kissed my forehead.
I rolled my eyes and changed the subject. "So, where's our next date?"
He smiled. "Closer than you think." He winked and led me home.

My Hero-Paramore
"You look beautiful Renesmee," Aunt Alice said as Aunt Rosalie brushed
through my wavy waist-length hair.
"Thanks," I gushed. I don't get it, why did I have to get all dressed
up to go on my date with Jake?
It was just a normal date! Wasn't it?
"Aunt Alice, what do you know?"
She mimed zipping her lips and went back to searching for a dress. I
tried mom who was occupied doing my make up.
"Mom?" She mouthed nope. I scowled.
Aunt Rose said, "Don't scowl. It gives you wrinkles and makes you seem
petty."
"You do it."
"True. But I'm married, a full vampire and living the perfect coveted
lifestyle. You still have a bit more puberty to go deary."
I growled. "Done," Aunt Rose announced happily. "Me too," Mom said.
"Me three!" Aunt Alice trilled as she skipped over to hand me my dress
and shoes.
It was a green knee length cotton dress. It allowed me to twirl but
look hot all the same.
"Wow," was all I could say.
Daddy poked his head in the door. "Time to go baby girl. Jake's at the
door."
I smiled. "Thank you," I said mentally. I hugged him on the way out.
I raced down the stairs. "Bye Uncle Em! Uncle Jazz! Byeas Jane!"
"Bye," they called. Jake caught me by the arm before I crashed into him.
"Excited today aren't we?"
I slapped his arm playfully. "Whatever. Let's go!"
He grinned and told me to climb on his back and to close my eyes.
"Whatever you do. Do NOT open your eyes until I tell you to. Okay?"
"Got it," I said and nibbled his ear. He moaned.
"C'mon Ness. I'm trying to be grown up."
"Sorry," I whispered.
He took off.
