Surviving Seventeen
The sequel to Sweet Sixteen. Please read that first otherwise you will be confused. I was surprised by the reviews I got for Sweet Sixteen so I just had to carry on with it XD
All characters are not created by me but the amazing Stephenie Meyer. I only made the story line :)
Chapter Fifteen - Cat Fight
"Nessie sweetheart?" I felt Jacob shaking me and I wound my arms around him tighter.
"Five more minutes..." I mumbled sleepily. I kept my eyes shut.
"Come on school" he laughed sitting up, my arms staying locked around him and my eyes stayed closed. Jacob laughed again and I smiled.
"Come on sleeping beauty rise and shine." Jacob had broken my grip and I opened my eyes to send him evils. I pouted and he laughed again.
"Can't we skip please?" I begged smiling and he frowned.
"Stop trying to dazzle me!" he ordered and I sighed.
"Fine." I grumbled and I climbed off him. I stumbled my way to the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror. I looked hideous. Just at that time Alice popped her head round my bathroom door.
"Come on Nessie, Rose and I are waiting." she moaned pulling at my arm I gave her a smile.
"What did you do last night?" Rose asked horrified pulling at my hair.
"Nothing." I grumbled folding my arms across my chest. Rosalie laughed as she yanked a brush through my hair, well if you can call it hair.
"We're definitely going to need vampire speed today Rose." Alice said pointing to her watch, I closed my eyes and leaned back in the chair to enjoy my pampering.
One hour later, Alice was digging through her wardrobe trying to find me something to wear. I just sat on her bed playing with my nails, Rosalie had painted them silver for me.
"This will look gorgeous on you." Alice said thrusting a midnight blue mini dress at me.
"Alice it's cold." I said simply and she laughed thrusting a pair of black leggings at me as well.
"And it's raining, why not the brown checked shirt with blue jeans and uggs?" I said and she smiled.
"I have taught you well." she sang and then kissed my head softly. I smiled and dressed silently. I then stood to look at myself in the mirror.
"Jacob's necklace?" I said horrified grasping at my neck. It was gone.
"Come on Renesmee or you're going to be late!" Esme called from downstairs.
"Hang on I've lost something." I said frantically searching through my draws and boxes. Nothing. Tears came to my eyes at the thought of losing it.
Where could it be?
"Nessie come on." Jacob called from our bedroom door.
"Have you seen my necklace?" I asked worried biting my lips, I turned to look at him.
"No why?"
"I can't find it!" I cried, the tears started to overflow.
"Don't cry, we'll find it." Jacob said pulling me close he wiped the tears from my eyes and then took my hand. "You look beautiful by the way." he added casually.
"You say that everyday." I mumbled.
"I always tell the truth." he smirked and planted a kiss on my cheek. I gave him a small smile.
When we reached the Cullen garage everyone was there loading up the cars.
"You drive today 'Kay?" I asked Jake, I was trying to retrace my steps desperate to find the necklace.
"Sure." Jake replied, Rose came over to us.
"What's wrong sweetie?" she asked stroking my hair.
"I think I've lost my necklace." I said quietly, the tears welled up in my eyes again.
"You guys ride with us, saves Jake driving a girl's car." Emmett scoffed.
"Do you mind?" Jake asked me and I shook my head. Jake and I slid into the backseat and Rose took the wheel. For once Emmett bit back any nasty jokes seeing that I was upset, I rested my head on Jake's shoulder and dove deep into reliving the past days events.
"You'll find it when you're least expecting it." Jacob whispered into my ear. "Don't waste your time worrying about it." he kissed my head once and then took at my hand. We were reaching the school now.
"Have a good day, don't be visiting any janitor's closets." Emmett laughed as me and Jake walked into the building hand in hand. Jake replied with a simple hand gesture which had me laughing.
"See you later honey." Jacob said giving me a kiss, as soon as he left my side Chris was there.
"I'm sorry about the way my sister talked to you Nessie, I heard her and her friends talking about It." he said blushing.
"I think I left her pretty speechless and if she wants round two I'm here!" I laughed.
"It's just, she has all my Mom's bitchiness and thinks she's 'it'. She's scared of a much prettier girl upstaging her." he stated as we walked to class and I smiled.
"Who's your Mom?" I asked
"Jessica Newton, formally Jessica Stanley. She knew your Mother as well." he replied and I nodded.
"Speaking of which, they have invited your parent's round for dinner." he added casually. I grimaced, my frozen at teenage years vampiric parents for dinner with a human.
Good luck with that!
"Sorry, I don't think that's possible. They are away with...business." I replied laughing and he rolled his eyes.
"I wouldn't blame your parents for wanting to stay away. It was clear that my Mom liked your Dad and my Dad liked your Mom. That's just weird." he joked embarrassed and I laughed too.
"I'll pass the message along anyway Chris. It was a nice thought." I said sighing and I entered my class in silence. I sat down in my seat and continued to replay the last days events determined to find my necklace.
Ten minutes late I stumbled my way through the wolf whistling hormonal senior boys and other pupils towards the canteen. Stupid teacher letting us out late.
I dumped my bag on the table and headed to the queue. I could see my family laughing at me being annoyed.
I got chips and a soda feeling in the mood for junk food and turned around ready to walk back to my table, instead I ran straight into Christie spilling the tomato ketchup all over her top.
What a shame. Not.
I laughed and she gave me evils.
"Sorry Christie." I said in-between muffled laughter and she looked up at me. Her face turned red.
"You stupid cow! Look what you have done. You have ruined my shirt!" she ranted and I put the chips of the counter. The whole canteen's eyes were on us.
"Did you just call me a cow?" I said to her and she smiled obviously glad she'd provoked a reaction from me.
"Yes I did, what are you going to do about it?" she retaliated flicking her hair.
"I think you need your eyes tested, and your ears because if you haven't noticed I do not 'moo' or have any udders unlike yourself." I sighed indicating to her. She looked shocked.
"Do we have a problem ladies?" Jacob asked snaking his arm around my waist, I gave him a sweet smile.
"No problem honey, let's get some more chips." I said taking his hand, I turned around to rejoin the queue.
"Stupid plastic bitch, she really needs to get over herself. That boyfriend of her is an ugly twit too to be honest her whole family are a bunch of freaks." I heard Christie laugh and I snapped.
I turned back around to face her. My hand rose up and I heard a loud smack as my palm connected with her cheek.
"You can say what you want about me but you never insult Jacob or my family." I warned hissing, my eyes had blackened now and venom welled up in my mouth.
"What's going on here?" An authoritive voice questioned. I turned around to give a witty response but it turned out to be the Principle.
Oh sugar. I was in trouble now.
"Nothing sir." Rosalie smiled from beside me, suddenly my whole family was here.
"That's kind of hard to believe." he stated. And I bit my lip.
"Renesmee just slapped me sir." Christie called and I turned to give her evils.
"Is this true Miss Cullen?" he asked me.
"Yes sir but-"
"No buts." he interjected.
"Sir she provoked me!" I said indicating to the bitch that stood clutching her raw cheek.
"Violence is never the answer. Come with me Miss Cullen." he replied stalking off towards his office. I grabbed my bag from our lunch tables and followed. I kept my head down.
When we reached his office I sat outside on the chair while he phoned Carlisle.
"Nessie what you doing here?" A familiar voice asked and I looked up to see Chris Newton.
"Your sister." I hissed folding my arms and he frowned.
"What did she do?"
"I slapped her because she was being rude." I snapped.
"Oh."
"Yes, oh." I looked down and let my hair fall across my face to hide it.
"I'm so sorry." he said sitting beside me.
"S 'Kay isn't your fault." I said quietly staying behind my curtain.
"I'm glad you slapped her, she deserved It." he said after a moment of silence. I heard the principle ending the conversation on the phone and sighed.
"You best be going now Chris before Mr Slate catches you." I said looking up at him and he gave me a small smile.
"Ok, I'm really sorry again." he said as he left and I sat up straight when I heard the Principle's hand on the handle.
"Miss Cullen?" he beckoned and I got off the seat with little enthusiasm and dragged my bag into his office.
Twenty minutes later I was sitting in the car beside Esme staring out of the window. I had been suspended from school until the end of next week. I suppose this did have its advantages...
"Nessie why did you do that?" Esme sighed and I looked at her with a look of pure disbelief.
"She insulted me and Jake." I replied angrily.
"Yes but why did you hit her?" Esme pushed.
"Did you not just hear me? She insulted us so I hit back. It's not my fault she missed my high-five so it got her face." I sunk back in my seat and stared out of the window watching the rain. The rest of the journey was silent.
I didn't want Esme to be upset or disappointed in me, I hated it.
Soon tears were streaking silently down my face.
"Why are you crying?" Esme asked as we pulled into the drive. I climbed out of the car and slammed the door walking at a fast human pace towards the door. As soon as I got to the door Carlisle flung it open and he stared at me. I looked down and hurried towards the stairs just wanting to go to bed.
"Renesmee..." started and I turned around on the bottom step to look at him.
"Don't have a go at me Carlisle. I'm going to bed." I whispered and with that I ran up the steps and when I reached my room slammed the door shut behind me. I flung my bag across the room and let myself fall onto the bed, I snuggled into my pillow and let myself sob until the pillow was dripping wet and I'd fell into an exhausted sleep.
I slept dreamlessly and soon I was being awoke to the sound of Jacob in my ear.
"Renesmee? Sweetheart?" I felt his hot hand on my face and opened my eyes to look at the pillow.
"What do you want?" I asked quietly.
"Our date?" he asked, I felt his weight on the bed and I pressed my face harder into the pillow.
"I am pretty sure I am grounded forever." I said into the pillow and I felt him kiss my head.
"Why's that?" he laughed
"'Cos I slapped a human remember." I sighed and I felt him pull my head around to face him. I couldn't bare to look at him, I must have looked a state.
"Have you been crying?" he asked stroking my cheek and I nodded. I sat up and leaned into him and he hugged me close.
"Why?" he asked.
" 'Cos I let Carlisle and Esme down and put our secret at stake." I whispered. "And I've lost my necklace." I added. There was a light tap on the door and I heard it slowly creep open. I kept my head firmly buried into Jacob.
"Renesmee look at me?" I heard Esme say and I felt her cold hands on my cheek. I slowly turned my head to look at her and she gave me a small smile.
"Your Dad explained to me everything. I'm glad you stuck up for our family and we aren't disappointed in you. Shocked that you hit her maybe but not disappointed." she said cupping my cheeks.
"I'm sorry for putting our secret in danger. If I hit her any harder her head would have fallen off." I said quietly and I heard Esme giggle.
"Alice is waiting in her bathroom to play Barbie for your date, best not keep her waiting." Esme sad softly. I hugged her once, kissed Jacob's cheek and pattered off to find Alice. With each step I took I felt happier at the fact that not only were my family were not annoyed with me but at the fact that I had a whole week of school.
"In that week you will be homeschooled!" I heard my Dad call from downstairs.
"Sure, sure." I muttered and then I was dragged by an eager pixie into her bathroom.
"Nessie that dress is beautiful." Rosalie said as she ran her fingers over it.
"It's not designer but it's nice." I sighed as I copied her. She turned and gave me a smile.
"I'm glad you gave that bitch a good slap...she deserved it. I wanted to rip her head off but your father did not agree..." Rosalie said trailing off.
"I had the vision and everything." Alice laughed as she slid the hair grip into my hair.
"Well I'm suspended. I doubt I'll even be able to graduate." I sighed
"Aren't you dropping out anyway after the wedding?" Alice asked and I gave her a nod.
"NO SHE'S NOT!" came a booming voice from downstairs. It was of course my father.
"Emmett wants to do more training with you. Apparently gave Jake a bit of a bloody nose and split lip last time." Rosalie laughed as she dug through Alice's wardrobe for shoes. She was trying to change the subject.
"You can sure throw a good punch." Alice said still messing with my hair and Rosalie reappeared. "And you will beat you know who after training. I've seen it." Alice added her eyes sparkled and Rose gave us a puzzled face.
"I'll tell you after." she nodded at Rosalie as she left me in the bathroom to get dressed. I dressed quickly and stared at myself in the mirror. It was a red strappy dress with a black belt around the middle. It was a great choice.
"Yes it looks gorgeous as always now hurry up and put your shoes on before you're late." Alice said bursting through the door and yanking me out.
"Alice had you never heard of privacy?!" I questioned and she tapped the side of her head.
"Psychic remember?" she remixed me and then pushed me out of her door and I fell straight into Jacob. She chucked a pair of shoes at me and I yelped.
"Stupid little pixie..." I muttered as I gripped hold of Jake and put my shoes on. Jake just laughed.
"You love her really." he whispered softly into my ear and he pulled me close.
"Have a great time out Nessie you too Jake." Jasper called going into his office he was carrying what seamed like a whole library of books.
"We will. What are you doing Jasper?" I asked laughing.
"Just some research." he muttered and with that he disappeared into his study.
"Come on then. Let's go." Jacob said as he slid down the banister. I took each step carefully trying not to fall over gripping the banister. I gripped it so hard my hand left a slight imprint.
"Shi-" I started but was cut off my Mother and Father.
"Language!" they yelled in unison and I gave a sarcastic smile. Jake laughed.
"Have fun walking the dog Nessie." Emmett called and I laughed.
"Haven't you got anything better to do?" I called and he was by my side in an instant.
"Have fun quirt, I am brainstorming training regimes. I could make sex jokes if you like?" he offered with an teasing smile. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"No thanks Em, I'm going on my date now." I said sharply dragging Jacob through the door. "Where are we eating?" I asked curious as we walked down to the car.
"I was thinking of that Italian. They haven't got many ring shops there so if you want we can go down to La Push after and go shopping another time." he said shrugging.
"I have a better idea! Let's go straight to La Push!" I said. "Let's take them out for a meal."
"Nessie they are werewolves they'll eat the restaurant dry." he replied laughing.
"Ok scrap that. Let's go eat and hang out with the wolves. It's been ages since I've seen Seth!" I moaned and he laughed.
"Sounds great. Billy will be glad to see us." Jake smiled as he opened the door for me. For the first time I got a look at what he was wearing.
"Alice got to you too." I guessed indicating to his black trousers and his black and red striped shirt.
"That obvious?" he laughed as he pulled out of the garage.
"We match!" I laughed and he smiled.
"Let's go eat I'm starving." he cried and I stared at him.
"I'm a werewolf and you are a half vampire and half human. I need a lot more nutrition than your tiny frame." he said seriously and I laughed again. Jake could eat a whole cow and still be hungry.
"Ok let's eat." I smiled.
