"Je veux à ce jour Jacob." (I want to date Jacob) I yawned in the middle of class. The class assignment was to help out each other with translating a French magazine article into English. Apparently a tricky feat for the other students, but I had already read French Vogue in my leisure time and I could clearly translate it word by word on a limb.

"Pourquoi?" (Why?) Dad sighed, "Jacob sent comme un chien mouille." (Jacob smells like a wet dog.)

"Je n'ai pas l'esprit. J'aime Jacob." (I don't mind. I love Jacob)

"Je sais." (I know)

"Est-il erroné?" (Is it wrong?)

"J'aime Bella. Il n'a pas tort d'aimer Renesme." (I love Bella. It is not wrong to love Renesme)

I beamed.

"Vous devez attendre jusqu'au mariage." (You must wait until marriage.)

"Pour?" (For?)

"Rapports sexuels" (Sex)

"Ew. Gross." I squealed.

"Hey! No talking in this class unless it is French!" Mr Cars yelled angrily from the table beside us.

I rolled my eyes and placed my hand on Edward's arm. Dad. I want to be with Jacob, you'll let me, won't you?

He sighed and nodded his head.

Jake doesn't still…like mum does he?

He smiled softly and shook his head, patting my hand.

Does he like me?

Dad rolled his eyes and nodded.

Does he love me?

He exhaled again, but humorously this time around and pressed his pen to the paper.

You are just like your Mother.

Jacob loves you very much Renesme, you must see that?

I smiled broadly and nodded as the bell rang.

"If you miss geography again tomorrow I will personally tell Emmett and Jasper." Edward warned with a smirk.

I scoffed and collected my books, "They won't care."

"They will when I tell them who you spent it with."

I bit my lip and narrowed my eyes, "Touché."

"Are you spending lunch with your Drama buddies again?" Dad asked.

"Buddies? Seriously could you make it sound anymore childish?" I rolled my eyes as we walked down the hall toward the lockers.

"Your…associates then?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," I grinned. That sounded much more grown up.

"Rennie!" A voice called as I came to a stop at my locker.

Dad gave me one look and nodded, time to leave.

"Was that your brother?" Lucy bit her lip as she watched my dad walk down the remainder of the hall.

"Yeah." I answered dismissively.

"He's pretty salty." She grinned.

I simulated a gagging sound and she gave me a sarcastic look.

"Oh come on, you have to admit-"

"Nooooo I don't." I replied disgustedly.

"Hey guys," Caroline smiled beside us. "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." I answered, closing my locker.

"Ren's fine-ass brother." Lucy swooned.

"Oh yeah wow that boy is cute." Caroline beamed, "can you imagine…?"

"Ew. Guys, no." I groaned as we made our way to the quad.

"Hey, I admit, he's a little stand off-ish at first…" Caroline began, before grunting."Is he really dating her?" Caroline gestured to mum, walking down the hall with Alice. Mum and I had an... uncomfortable relationship. Hey, she kissed my boyfriend. Before I was born, but I can hold a grudge. Shoot me.

"Maybe he's got a thing for brunettes." Lucy winked, "What do you think? Should I go all Hepburn on this school."

"No." I laughed, "You make a much better Marilyn, Lucy, stay blonde."

"Oooh am I sensing a bit of resentment?" Lucy teased, "Maybe Rennie is hot for Eddie."

"Ew guys gross, he's my brother."

"He's your adopted brother. No foul." Caroline reminded.

"No, not no foul, guys. Lots of foul. It'd be totally gag-worthy."

"I thought incest ran in the family." She giggled and I gave her a less-than-than happy death glare.

"I think Ren still has mega babe-fever over that guy she was talking about that Tuesday." Lucy winked as we took a seat in the quad.

"Wait... I'm lost, which one?"

"She was texting him. Remember? We were having those killer onion rings for lunch."

"God yeah! The texter, how is he going?" Caroline nudged my shoulder teasingly and I blushed.

"Good."

"Good?" Lucy raised an eyebrow.

"Really good." I admitted, biting my bottom lip. "I saw him this morning."

"And?"

"And he is so completely perfect." I sighed.

"Oh Em Gee Rennie you're totally blushing." Caroline teased, "Did you two do it?"

"What? No."

"You so did, you totally swiped your v card at his register."

"I did not." I defended, "We just kissed a bit." I smiled at the memory, but Caroline collapsed with an unimpressed look on her face.

"So you two just... Made out? I thought you'd been seeing him for like, forever?"

"I have."

"And I thought he was older than you?"

"He is."

"Well... Ren don't you think he wants something more? Older guys don't date younger girls to just kiss."

"Believe me, I've tried to do more. He doesn't want to take advantage of me."

Caroline scoffed, "Ofcourse he doesn't."

"Stop it C." Lucy made a face, "Maybe he's just...waiting for her?"

"Fine." Caroline rolled her eyes, "But its the 2020's Ren, if you're not with him in that way how do you know you two are together?

That point stayed in my mind the entire day, through Graphic Design, Ceramics, Drama and Math and all hockey practice in the afternoon until Rose came to pick me up from school.
