Chapter 5
Beep…Beep…Beep
I slammed my hand down on the alarm and rolled over groaning.
"School." I sighed. I threw off the covers hopping out of bed. Stepping into the steaming shower I thought about what I had to do today.
"School, presentation, soccer game." I said to myself. It was my mental checklist. I got out of the shower, threw on my soccer jersey for school spirit, and ran down the stairs.
"Morning!" I shouted.
"Morning baby." Dad said pulling me into his arms. "Big game today." He smiled at me kissing my cheek.
"I'm pumped." I assured him. I checked the time and grabbed a breakfast bar on the go. "Have fun at work dad!" I said kissing his cheek.
"I'll see you later Ness." He said. And I ran out the door just in time to catch the bus. I took the last empty seat and scooted all the way by the window. We pulled up to the Forks middle school and I walked off the bus holding my bar in my hand. Unwrapping it I heard my name being called.
"Renesmee!" Ashley was running towards me. Her bag was flying around in her hand. "Can we talk?" She asked.
"I don't know can we?" I asked back.
"Okay that's not what I meant…" She said. When I didn't say anything she continued. "Shane wants you to know that he is sorry for yesterday and he wants everything to be cool between you two." She smiled at me thinking everything was going to be okay. Well she's wrong.
"Why didn't he just come tell me himself then." I stated rudely and walked away from her leaving her dumbstruck in the middle of the school lot. I walked into my third period of the day and took my seat next. I sat alone at my lab table since there weren't enough kids in the room.
"Okay we are going to start with the presentations today and finish them tomorrow." Our teacher, Mr. Rain, said. Everyone in the room groaned. "Why don't we start with Collin." He said pointing to a small boy with jet black hair. He looked like he was going to throw up. Just then the door opened and a boy who I had never seen before walked in. He was tan, muscular, and had black hair. Overall he was attractive.
"Hey, I'm Jacob Black." He told the teacher handing him a piece of paper.
"Your new." The teacher said. "How about you take a seat next to Renesmee," He pointed to me. "She's a nice young girl." He told Jake. Jake hoisted his bag onto his shoulder and walked over sitting down next to me. Collin then began his presentation.
"Hey." Jake said smiling at me. "Renesmee right?" He asked softly.
"Yeah, nice to meet you Jacob." I said.
"Call me Jake." He winked at me. I blushed and turned back to the presentation.
"So what do you guys do for fun around here?" He asked. I turned back to him and thought for a moment.
"Cliff diving." I told him.
"Cliff diving, what's that?" He seemed interested. "It sounds fun."
"Oh it is, you jump off rocks into the ocean." I said.
"Dangerous much?" He laughed.
"I like danger." I said.
"That doesn't surprise me." He said seriously.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, you just seem like that type…or you just come across as it." He ran his hand through his hair not taking his eyes off of me.
"Renesmee and Jacob please quiet down." Mr. Rain said. I gave Jake one more smile before I turned back to Collin. The class ended right at the bell and I was out of my seat quickly.
"Renesmee wait!" Jake said.
"Call me Nessie." I laughed as he tried to pronounce my name.
"Yeah that sounds easier." He sighed in relief. We walked into the lunch room to a crowded place.
"Wow, big school." Jake said.
"It's actually pretty small." I disagreed.
"Bigger than the one I came from." He said.
"Where did you come from?" I asked sitting down at an empty table. Jake sat across from me.
"Florida, a small town called Ormond Beach." He told me all about it there and what they did for fun around there. "It's a lot different here, more rainy." He shrugged taking a bite of his pizza. I pulled out my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"Why'd you move here?" I asked.
"Mom got a new job." He said.
"Reasonable." I told him.
"Sure, sure." He said focusing more on his food than on the conversation. Lunch ended and I showed Jake where his next classes would be. Once school finally ended I quickly made my way to the girl's locker room. I changed into my shin pads, high socks, and cleats. I put my hair into a pony tail.
"You ready for today Ness?" Amber asked me as she pulled on her shirt.
"Of course." I said.
"Make sure you run fast, you're the fastest on the team."
"Always do." I said quickly. I raced out of the locker room and grabbed the bag of balls. I walked onto the field.
"Okay Ness you got this." I said. I always reassured myself before every game. Just something I did. I had my lucky hair band in and my favorite sports bra on. I heard my teammates screaming as they ran onto the field. Their hands slammed into my back as they passed me. I took off after them as we did our warm up jog. Once we ran around the field once all the balls were placed for us to quick. After a couple of warm up goals we watched the bus with our enemies roll up. They all walked onto the field screaming there chant. I looked to the stands and finally noticed all the parents sitting there. I spotted my dad and ran over to him. Bella was sitting next to him. She smiled and waved at me. I waved back.
"Hi guys." I said. "It's nice to see you Bella." I said smiling at her.
"Right back at you." She said.
"She left college early to come watch you." Dad said.
"You didn't have to do that!" I said.
"No I did, I wanted to watch you play some soccer." She said. "Your father invited me." She nudged dad. I smiled rolling my eyes. I ran back over to my team. I took my spot on the field and listened for the whistle. When it was blown I took off in a dead sprint. Riley kicked the ball forward and I took off after it. My feet caught it and I kicked it towards the goal. As a girl approached me on the left I turned my back to her and jumped over the ball grabbing it quickly with my other foot. And then I went in for the goal.
"Goal!" My coach screamed as the ball hit the net. I heard my team scream in joy. We played like that for a while. I scored another goal along with Riley. I watched as Caitlin dribbled the ball up near the goal and I turned to look at my father, he looked deep in conversation. Bella waved to me and my dad laughed pulling her down onto his lap. She giggled running her hand through his hair. I stood watching them and then suddenly it felt like a brick hit my head. I fell backwards to the ground crying out in pain. I quickly touched the side of my face and looked up to see my dad and a bunch of people surrounding me.
"Give her space." Coach said ushering people away from me.
"Are you okay angel?" Dad asked touching the side of my face.
"It stings a lot." I said. Bella was kneeling next to me on the other side. "Looks like I took a ball to the face." I said laughing it off. Bella hand touch above my eye.
"It's going to be swollen tomorrow." She said looking at my eye.
"Definitely." Dad said. "Her whole face will be." He said.
"Poor baby." Bella said.
"I'll be okay." I assured her. Dad picked me up into his arms. I rested my head against his hard chest. "Can we go home?" I asked dad.
"That's where we are headed." Dad said.
We walked into the house and dad placed me on the couch. Bella sat down on the floor next to me.
"I'll get some ice." Dad said walking into the kitchen.
"It's really not a big deal, you guys are overreacting." I sighed.
"It's just because we care." Bella smiled softly at me. I was surprised, we had only met Bella a couple of weeks ago but her and dad were attached at the hip. She was over a lot at night time after she was done with her classes. And she would spend almost the whole weekend with us. Personally I didn't mind having her around though. She was easy to talk to since we are kind of close in age. Dad walked back in with an ice pack.
"Here hold this to your face."He ordered.
"Okay Mr. Sassy." I said scrunching up my nose.
"It's just because I'm worried baby." Dad said. Bella laughed. I gave her a face and held the ice pack to my face. I laid my head down on the pillow and closed my eyes. When I opened them again I saw Bella in dad's arms on the love couch watching some T.V. I smiled to myself, they looked cute. I stood up and walked over to them. They both looked at me and Bella gasped.
"What?" I asked.
"Your face is so swollen." She said reaching out to touch her hand to it.
"Does it look that bad?" I asked suddenly worried.
"No you still look beautiful." Bella said. Dad smiled at me resting his head against Bella's. Bella pulled me into a hug. I ended up crawling onto her lap. She ran her hands through my hair calming me down. My eyes were closing and I rested my head on her shoulder. I was really glad that Bella had entered my life. She was a good addition to the family.
