I'm back! Thanks for the reviews my loves.
I don't own anything Twilight.
Last time on Decisions…
As soon as she left, the nervousness, guilt and shame came flooding back. What had I gotten myself in to?
Renesmee's POV
I usually looked forward to school, but today was different. Getting out of bed would mean facing Alex.
How should I act when I see him? Should I talk to him about Saturday? No, that would send out the wrong message to everyone else. They know I'm dating Jake.
Jake had-on more than one occasion- met me after school on his motorcycle. Naturally, people stopped and stared as he waited for me. I mean, he is gorgeous!
The sound of a revving engine brought me back to the present. Oh no! Jake was already here and I wasn't even ready to leave yet.
I ran and grabbed the first t-shirt and pair of jeans that I could find. After brushing my teeth and quickly tying back my hair into a messy ponytail, I ran out to meet Jake. His face lit up when he saw me, and I smiled in response, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips.
Still wearing that goofy grin, he said to me, "You look beautiful."
I scoffed. "Yeah right, I literally just rolled out of bed!" I hopped onto the back of the motorcycle and wrapped my arms around his waist.
"But thank you." I said, resting my cheek against the back of his shoulder.
He turned his head and pressed his warm lips to my forehead.

The first three classes flew by and before I knew it, it was time for Trig. I didn't know why I was so nervous. I mean, Alex is just a guy who wants to be friends, there's nothing wrong with that. I know Jake has friends from the opposite sex, so why can't I?
With this new found confidence, I walked to class with my head held high. I stopped in the doorway and frowned; the classroom was empty. The lights were off and no one was in sight.
I then noticed a hand-written sign near the door that said,
Mr. McLean's 4th hour Trig class will meet in the math lab.
"Great." I said to myself. Now I was going to be late and everyone was going to stare at me when I walked in.
I was about to rush to the lab when I heard someone chuckle behind me. "Looks like we're late." As if on cue, the tardy bell rang.
I stiffened at the sound of the male voice. It was all too familiar.
Please, God by some miracle don't let that be Alex.
My prayers were made in vain because standing behind me was the very person I had wished to avoid.
I gulped. "Hey, Alex."
Genius.
"So, shall we walk?" he asked and swept his arm out, encouraging me to go first.
I blushed and started walking. He was silent for a moment as he walked next to me. The only sounds were the tapping of our shoes as we made the long walk to the lab.
"So…" he began.
I looked at him curiously and noticed that the tips of his ears were bright red. I licked my lips involuntary. I was a vegetarian vampire, meaning that I didn't drink human blood but the sight of the gathered blood there caused a small fire to ignite in the back of my throat.
He caught me staring, and the red spread to his face. "Are we still on for tomorrow?"
I kept my eyes focused straight ahead where the lab was and replied, "Yes."
The tension seemed to melt away from his face, "Great! So I was thinking that we could see that new movie called Remember Me. What do you think?"
Hmm being alone with him in a dark theatre doesn't sound right. But then again, Robert Pattinson is in that movie and I can't pass him up, now can I?
"That sounds great. It looks really good." I said with a smile.
Finally, finally we had reached the lab. Just as I had feared, all head swiveled to look as we walked in late. Mr. McLean nodded at us both, and went on explaining the assignment which was to be completed in class.
"Now work with your partners and finish as much as you can."
I looked around and saw that everyone was paired up to a computer and had begun the assignment.
I turned back to Alex who looked at me with a nervous smile. "Partner?" he asked.
I laughed. "Sure."
We took a seat at a computer and started it up.
"Ah, Mr. Rush, Miss Cullen I'm so glad you could join us." Mr. McLean joked.
"Sorry I was late," I said, speaking for myself. "I forgot we were in the lab today."
"No worries just don't make a habit out of it." he said as he handed us the worksheet.
He started to explain the instructions to us and I took this time to look at Alex, who was listening attentively to Mr. McLean.
Alex had dark brown hair that stopped just at his eyebrows. I felt the urge to run my fingers through it, just to see what it felt like. Looking further down, I saw the two most striking, blue eyes. I felt like I could just look into them forever. How had I not noticed those beautiful blue eyes?
Where is all this coming from??
"…and that's basically it. Any questions?"
Crap. I had totally zoned out and missed everything. I looked over at Blue Eyes, um I mean Alex and he said, "Yup, I think we've got it."
I waited until Mr. McLean was out of hearing range and said quietly, "Okay, so what're we doing? I'm sorry I spaced out when he was talking."
He laughed and shook his head. "Don't worry there's step by step instructions on the worksheet he gave us."
"Oh." I reached for the paper that was on the desk. I didn't notice that he was reaching for it too. Our hands met but neither of us pulled away. There was no spark, no electricity, just warmth. It felt nice.
Embarrassed, I drew my hand back. "Sorry."
"Don't worry about it. Now, let's get to work!" he said enthusiastically.
I rolled my eyes at him and turned to the computer.

The sound of the bell made me jump. Was class over already? I looked at the clock and sure enough, it was time to go. I quickly gathered my things. Alex and I were the only ones left in the room.
"Well.." I began awkwardly, "I'll see you tomorrow?"
Alex stood and slung his backpack over his shoulder. "Yeah, I'll pick you up at five, okay?"
I blushed involuntary. "Okay."
He flashed those pearly whites and walked out of the room.

I was at my locker. I could barely remember any class except Trig. I kept coming back to Alex's smile. Just thinking about it made me so…happy. I wasn't sure why. I walked out of the school with a spring in my step.
Hearing the sound of a roaring engine made me that much happier. Jacob was here. I spotted him across the parking lot and waved. His eyes met mine and he waved back.
I walked towards him and accidentally bumped someone rather hard. I turned to apologize but stopped when I saw who it was.
"So we meet again Renesmee." Alex said with a grin.
I glanced over at Jacob and saw that he was watching me.
"Yeah, sorry about bumping into you but I have to go. See you later, okay?"
He patted my shoulder and said, "Later."
I ran the rest of the way to Jacob. He held out his arms to me and walked into them, willingly. I sighed contentedly and rested my head on his muscular chest.
He pulled away and his eyes narrowed. "Who was that guy?"
I closed my eyes and huffed. "Just some guy in my Trig class."
I moved to get on the motorcycle but Jacob put a hand up to stop me. "I don't know, he seemed pretty friendly to me."
I cocked my head to the side and put my hands on my hips. "Jake, he's just a friend. I can have friends, right?"
"Of course, Nessie." His face immediately softening, "I'm not here to order you around. I love you."
Placing a kiss on his cheek I replied, "I love you too, Jake." I got onto the back of the bike and let the roar of the engine drown out my thoughts. Right here, right now, it was just me and Jacob. The rest I could deal with tomorrow.
A/N: Okay, so I'm sorry that I didn't post yesterday. Some things came up. But anyways, what did you think?
Thanks to all who reviewed, I love you all!
The next chapter will be Nessie and Alex's "date."
