Summer - 1999
Alice grabbed my hand pulled me off the chair. "Come on - we're all gonna go to the beach now!" She said with a smile on her face. She started to pull me out of the clubhouse - following everyone else.
"Wait - shouldn't I tell my parents I'm leaving?" I ask, I wasn't quite sure of what we were going to do. I go to a private school in New York...everyone is always on their best behavior - most of the time.
Alice laughed at my question, "They know where we are going, if your parents start freaking my mom and dad will probably fill them in." I nodded my head and ran outside with her.
"Okay guys, listen up!" She says, grabbing everyones attention. "Renesmee here is one of us now, she apart of our circle." Everyone except red head smiled at me.
What was up her butt, a stick?
"Nice dress - orange is so last summer." Lauren says with a sneer, she looks down at her nails wearing a stupid little smirk.
"At least I'm not a ginger, little miss fire crotch." I shot back, Ginger and I were not going to be friends. The guy named Jacob looked over at me and smiled - everyone was trying to stifle their laughter...well except Emmett. He was laughing like there was no tomorrow.
"I like her, Ali!" He said in between laughs. All Lauren could do was glare daggers at me.
"Who wants to help me get the fire ready down there?" Jacob asked while nodding towards the beach.
All the guys volunteered, they said how us girls can't handle there manly brutality. I laughed at that one.
"We need music," Alice said once we had the fire started and we all sat around it on logs.
I was quiet for a moment before speaking up. "I play guitar...except it's back at my house. I can go get it?" I questioned, directing it mostly to Alice. A smile appeared on her face as she nodded her head quickly.
"Go! Hurry!" She said while pointing towards my house. I got up quickly and started to jog, but a voice called out to making me stop.
"Hey - speed demon, wait up!" I stopped and turned to look where the voice came from, it was the guy Jacob who was running after me. "Damn, you're pretty fast." He said with a laugh when we began walking again.
"I get it from my dad, I think."
He nodded his head twice. "It's Renesmee - right?" He asked, he yet again, seemed unsure.
"Yeah. It's a mouthful - I know." I rolled my eyes and looked down at my feet.
"I like it, it fits you. A pretty name for a really fucking pretty girl." I looked up at him under my lashes - my cheeks were bright red, maybe ever darker.
"I...Uh...thanks." I mumbled, a cute boy just told me I was really fucking pretty - that's never happened to me before...only because I go to an all girls catholic school.
"Here we are." I said softly while climbing up the porch steps. Jacob opened the door and held it open for me to walk ahead of him. I smiled a thank you before walking into the sitting room where my guitar laid on the couch. I picked it up and walked back towards the door Jacob was still holding open.
"Thanks," I said out loud this time.
"So...you play a lot, or are you just gonna mess with some cords or whatever they're called?" He asked as he shoved his hands into the pockets of his tan cargo shorts.
I smiled slightly and looked up, he seemed genuinely intrigued. "I play a lot. Write my own songs sometimes too." I shrugged my delicate shoulders lightly before looking back at the white sand that seemed to sparkle when the moons rays beamed brightly against it.
"You must be pretty good then, eh?"
"I guess, my dad's a musician...he likes classical stuff. I prefer Indie or rock, sometimes." Some sand managed to wiggle it's way in between my toes as we walked, but It didn't bother me much. I liked the feeling of sand.
"Good 'ole rock and roll, baby. Ah, I love it." He said with a fake dazed expression on his face. I laughed lightly, which made Jacob look directly at me. "I think you have the most unique laugh I've ever heard, Miss. Renesmee." I blinked a few times at his statement before blushing a mad red.
"How so?"
"When you laugh - it's like tinkling bells. It's...pretty - it's unique." He opted, I don't think he new how to describe it - no one before him has either.
"Well took you long enough!" A voice shouted when we made our way back to sitting on a log. "We were getting suspicious!" Another guy said, My cheeks turned red again. Maybe for the millionth time today.
"Well, no need to be suspicious." I laughed awkwadly when I said that,
"So, now since you're here - play something!" Alice said while holding onto my arm like an excited five year old. I started playing a few random things before remembering what Jacob said about how he liked good 'ole rock and roll. I started playing what I knew of Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name"
Jacob let out a loud laugh before giving me a huge smile. I returned one graciously before focusing on another song.
I think I spent an hour mixing random songs people shouted out at me, which honestly wasn't that difficult.
"Holy hell, and you thought your were 'okay'?" Jacob pointed out after I set my guitar aside.
"Well...I mean...It wasn't that good..." I trailed off, I'm not one to brag and rub what I can and can't do under people's noses.
"I think this little lass is officially a Topsailian. Welcome to the gang, darlin'." Jasper said to me, he didn't bother hiding his accent. Rosalie on the other had, did.
I smiled slightly, letting my eyes travel back to the face I really wanted to get to know better; Jacob.
He caught me looking and he smirked, but that didn't cross the evil cat eyes of Lauren. She snatched Jacob's hand up and held it tightly. I looked away quickly, why did she have to be such a bitch to me when I barely knew her?
"Okay, so tomorrow we are so going to the pool?" Alice asked, addressing everyone in the circle that had been formed around the fire.
There were nods of heads and a few yeahs, I didn't say anything until Alice personally addressed me - which was a shocker. They were already including me, which made my heart warm.
"Yeah, I'll be there." I said with a smile before standing up like everyone else. I picked my shoes and guitar up before I began walking away from the dying embers of the fire.
"My place is next to yours, mind if I walk with you?" Jacob asked from behind me. It seemed like this boy was chasing me around, and I kind of liked it.
"Sure, let's go." I said softly before walking side by side next to him.
"I never caught your last name." My eyes looked up to meet his,
"I never caught yours either," I said,
"Jacob Black." He said with a laugh before smiling.
"Renesmee Cullen."
"Well, Miss. Cullen - I guess this is where I say good night." He said with a playful smile, I looked up to notice we were standing in between where the houses we both were currently living in.
"Night, Mr. Black." I said with a giggle before hurrying up the back porch stairs and inside. I ran up into the room I was staying in and collapsed on the bed. I grabbed a pillow and screamed into it, this defiantly was going to be the best summer - ever.
