OMG! I'm sooo sorry! I feel like such a bad author! I don't want to make excuses for myself, but I've had college application to sort out and all my extra coursework before half term... Soo busy it's ridiculous. I was on a roll with my writing, and I'm surrently one chapter behind... BUT, it's the half term next week so I shall catch up! :P

Anywaaays, I like this chapter. I fear that my plot may be getting a little to complicated and that I'm neglecting some parts of it. Just let me know if you feel the same.

So yaaa.... Read this, review it, and put a smile on my face! :D

Chapter 36

Renesmee POV

Hair and make-up done. I was to meet the guys outside the school at 7pm. They said that they would be meeting a few others too and hoped I didn't mind, which of course, I didn't. I was excited! Very excited. I had spent my time since coming back from school talking to everyone non-stop about how amazing my day had been. I told them all about Jimmy and Aaron. I told them about how cool Samantha seemed and how weird but wonderful Terry was. I told them about my mission to crack Miss Christelle and they were all so happy that I had felt so comfortabe there after just one day.

"Make sure you keep your phone on you and be back by 11 okay?" Mom told me before I left. I rolled my eyes and hugged her.

"Mom, I'm half vampire, 46 years old, pretty much indestructible to any human. I believe I will be fine!" She laughed and nodded.

"I know. I just worry about you. Go on, have fun." I hugged her and waved goodbye to everyone else.

"Have a good time Renesmee." Edward called out. I smiled at him and nodded before wallking out the door and breaking into a run. Edward had offered to give me a lift but I simply hadn't been for a run for a while. There had been no sign of Victoria since we had got here, Alice had had the odd vision, but none were a concern to us. The werewolves stayed away, every so often one of their scents would be caught when we were hunting, but we didn't bother them, and they didn't bother us. Of course however, mom wanted to stay in touch with Jacob, but had no contact number for him. Regarding Charlie, I had spoken to him on the phone a couple of times and had even met him once more briefly. But we had arranged to meet again at the weekend, he just didn't know that I had planned on bringing mom with me. It would be a meeting to remember and mom was so psyched about it.

"Ren! WOOP! Newbie's here!" Terry shouted as I reached the school. I had slowed to a walk once I got to the main roads nearer to the school. I laughed as I headed towards the group of them.

"Hey guys." Samantha smiled and Jimmy came up and hugged me. The others waved and greeted me. "So what's the plan?" I asked no-one in particular.

"Well, we were thinking of going to mine?" Samantha offered. "The parents aren't home. So it should be good. We've got the cars. Ren you can come with me and Jen." I laughed as she pulled me towards her car.

"Hellooooo?! What about me?!" Jimmy shouted to my retreating figure, I turned around to see mock hurt on his face and I laughed.

"Be quiet Jimmy! We'll meet you there, you go with Aaron." Sam shouted back down to him. These bunch were odd. But great company. I climbed into the back seat of Sam's green Ford and she drove off. "We apologise now for Jim's behaviour." Jen said through a laugh. I smiled.

"Hey, he's not that bad. Funny." They all smiled.

"We know. We thought he was proper crazy the first day we met him. But since he's been out with Aaron, he's calmed down a bit." I guess I could see what they meant. When Aaron was with him yesterday at my locker, Jimmy seemed to become more aware of himself and mature. It made sense.

"I can imagine. So how do you lot all know each other?" I asked.

"It started with me and Sam really." Jennifer answered. "We've been friends since kindergarten practically. Then when we got to Forks High we met Kat and Kane and Terry, we were all like good friends from the start there. But Kane had been friends with Terry before and Aaron, but we never really got to know Aaron and become good friends with him until he started hanging around with Jimmy. Now he's part of the group."

"You've all known each other for so long!"

"Yeah. But it's cool. We love it." Sam put in. "Jen did you here about Renesmee's ex?!" She exclaimed as she drove. For the rest of the drive I didn't really take note of where we were going and told Jen about Ian and Tina. She told me about herself and we really got talking. It wasn't until the car stopped that we stopped talking. I could really get along with her. I stepped out of the car and was surprised to hear waves and many voices. Music and fire.

"Where are we? I thought we were going round yours?" I asked Sam. She nodded.

"This is pretty much mine. But whilst the two of you were engrossed in your conversation, Kat text saying there was a bonfire on the beach. So we're just gonna come here. You can meet some of the friends." I nodded.

"Okay. Sounds cool." Jimmy come up beside me with Kat on one arm. Aaron was talking to Kane and Jennifer now.

"Well well well Miss Swan, care to be escorted to a party?" I laughed.

"Of course James." He laughed.

"Ugh. Only Demon Woman calls me James!"

"Then I shall have to do it more often." I said with a cheeky grin. He faked hurt before laughing and holding his arm out for me to link, just like Kat. She looked over to me and mouthed "Crazy." Making me laugh.

"To the party!" Jimmy shouted and he led us down the beach. Samantha, Terry, Kane, Aaron and Jen behind us. As we walked down I could see the flames and a crowd of people surrounding them. From this distance I could see more than the others and noticed how most of the guys were native and there seemed to be one who was the centre of attention.

"I hope Craig is here!" Samantha said from behind me.

"And who would Craig be?" I asked her with a wide-eyed innocent look. She blushed.

After a few seconds, there was still no answer from Sam, so Jen answered instead. "He's gorgeous! Native too. But recently, he's got really buff. He was fine beforehand, but jeeze!" I laughed at her face. "Honestly Ren, you should see them, all of them. They're gorgeous." I nodded appreciatively.

"I agree. They are totally worth it!" I looked up at Jimmy, shocked. Aaron came up behind him and hit him on the back of the head. Everyone laughed.

We reached the party. People were eating and drinking and dancing. A giant bonfire was set up in the middle. The crackling of flames seemed so close with my hyper-sensitive ears. Again, I noticed the one guy, tall and handsome, the centre of attention. I wanted to go over and tallk to him, to see him. Like I was being pulled towards him. But I couldn't do that.

"Kat?" A guy was walking towards us, looking drectly at Kat with a huge grin on his face. I turned to see Kat's face light up and she headed towards him and hugged him as he kissed her hair. I turned to see Kane roll his eyes and I resisted the urge to laugh. Terry whistled, forcing the guy to stick his middle finger up at him playfully. Kat turned around and faced us, her hand linked with his. "Who's this?" He asked, nodding towards me.

"This is Renesmee-"

"Or Ren for short" Jimmy interrupted, winking at me. I laughed.

"Yes, or Ren for short." Kat continued. "She's new at Forks High, it was her first day today. We thought we'd show her around." He nodded.

"I'm William. Will for short! I left Forks High last year." He stuck his hand out and I shook it. The extra heat didn't seem to bother him, or any of the others for that matter. It was good to know it wasn't so noticable to them.

"This guy is awesome! A legend at Forks High! Well, a second legend..." Jimmy said from beside me.

"How?" I asked.

Will laughed once, nervously. "Urm..."

"He was renowned for his 'behaviour' in lessons. His last lesson of the year he decided to have some fun and trash one of the rooms with his mates. He took the complete fall for it, but him being him, got away without punishment! No-one's been able to understand how." Jimmy answered for him.

"Yeah. So I see you've met Jimmy then. Surprised he hasn't put you off school!" I laughed.

"Not yet."

"Exactly, not yet m'lady." I laughed.

"So what's going on tonight Will?" Kane asked. I'd never really spoken to Kane. He seemed quiet and liked to keep to himself, which with someone like Jimmy around, was quite helpful.

"There's some dude who's just come back from like, travelling, everywhere. I don't really know the full story, but loads of people have come down for it. Apparently, he is like a legend round here." I was intrigued. "I don't know much. But there's a tonne of people down here. Craig is here Sam!" I turned to her and she blushed, making us all laugh. "Anyways, come on." We followed him through the crowd. I could smell alcohol and food, but something else. I couldn't put my finger on it, though it was oddly calming. "Beer?" Will asked us. I took a can and hesitantly drank it. I would be careful tonight, I didn't want to get drunk the first time I go out with these people.

~*~

So I didn't want to get drunk. Didn't mean I didn't get tipsy. The other's were out of it completely. Aaron, Jimmy, Kat and Will could not be seen and Terry had gone to try and chat up some leggy blonde. Jen, Sam, Kane and I found it funny to watch his failed attempts. Soon though, someone tapped on Sam's shoulder. She turned around and smiled.

"Oh. Hi." I didn't fail to notice the sarcasm and fake happiness in her voice. I wondered if the recipient had too. I turned to face this other person. I did a double-take when I saw who it was. She still hadn't noticed me but was talking away with Sam - who didn't look the least bit interested in what she was saying. A few seconds later she turned to me.

Her eyes widened as she realised who I was. She stood back and narrowed her eyes.

"Renesmee?" I nodded.

"Lara."

"What are you doing here?" She sneered.

"With some friends." I tried to be as polite as possible, but in her presence, it was pretty damn hard. It was her who almost got me attacked by a couple of werewolves. She knew what I was. Which meant I had to leave quickly. "Actually, I have to go." She nodded.

"Good." Sam was confused.

"You two know each other? You have to leave?" I nodded. A guy came up behind Lara and wrapped his arms around her, he looked at me with narrowed eyes. He was tall and tan. Bulging muscles and shirtless. Similar to the two I saw at Grandpa Charlie's....

His nostrils flared as realisation soon dawned. He pushed Lara behind him, taking a protective stance in front of her. I started walking backwards. Carefully. Sam was flicking between the two of us. "Do you want a lift Renesmee?" She asked. I shook my head.

"I can walk. It's not that far right?" She laughed once, nervously.

"It's like 15 miles." I frowned and stopped walking. Turning to look at her.

"Huh? We didn't go that far did we?" She looked confused.

"Renesmee. We're in La Push. It's a fair walk from Forks." I gulped. Ah crap, now look what I've done. I should've known when they said we were going to Sam's. But it slipped my mind. Then on the drive I was talking to Jen and not noticing where we were going. But how could I have been so stupid? There aren't beaches in Forks!

My eyes widened and I looked back to the angry wolf in front of me. His hands were shaking as he edged slightly closer. Lara had a small smirk on her lips as he moved.

"Seb? Are you okay?" Sam asked the guy. He flicked his eyes to her. Jen came up and pulled Sam away from him, most probably sensing his anger and the daggers he was sending me. He was walking ever closer until another guy came up behind him.

"Oh shit." He said, before running off. Seconds later, he returned with someone else. Someone taller. Darker. Muscly. Gorgeous. Short black hair and shirtless.

"Seb? What's up?" He asked. His voice was low and gruff. But like heaven to me. But as my eyes averted the ever shaking shape-shifter in front of me, I realised I had to leave.

"Her... She's... She's a... One of them!" Jen pulled away from Sam and came up to me, tugging on my arm.

"Renesmee, I'll drop you off at home." The guys head flicked up as she said my name and he looked at me. I put my head down under his gaze, feeling as though I was being judged.

I didn't know how I could be so stupid. Unknowingly coming to a La Push bonfire full of werewolves. Getting caught in a confrontation, once again with two werewolves at the fault of Lara. Everyone other than us few were unaware of the confrontation. They were either too drunk to care, or busy dancing. I had to leave. I looked up. And everything changed.

It was him, staring at me. Probing into my mind. Dark orbs that I couldn't bring myself to look away from. He stared back and relaxed his stance. A slow smile spreading on his lips. Seb looked at him, then back at me. He groaned.

"You have got to be kidding me Jake. Her?" Seb spat with venom in his voice. The guy glared at him before taking two long strides towards me. He held his hand out.

"Jacob Black. Renesmee Swan?" I almost choked. No. Way. This couldn't be the Jacob Black. Not mom's Jacob Black. I swallowed and turned, bumping into Jen.

"I have to go. My mom's going to kill me." I turned to look at Jacob again, once more before I left. "I'm sorry." I swiveled and ran back up the beach at a human pace. Jen close behind me. I reached Sam's car and she pulled out the key and climbed in the driver's seat. I got in the passenger side and she squealed off. I didn't want to leave Jacob. I didn't know why. It was so hard just to move my legs. But I had to. I had already screwed everything up, I couldn't make it any worse by staying any longer than I had to.

"So, do you mind telling me why Seb called you a vampire?" My eyes widened and I turned to face her. She had her eyes to the road but I could tell she was nervous.

"Urm..."

"Don't play dumb, I know. Explain."
