Falling in Love Ch 3
I don't own Twilight.
Renesmee POV
Tuesday and Wednesday went pretty much the same as Monday. Brad and I were hanging out every day: in the mornings, on breaks and lunch, he's a pretty nice guy... And I may be developing a tiny crush on him. I've never felt this way before, I've heard of all the stories of how my family members fell in love and I could only imagine what love felt like... but I don't love Brad, I like him. Holly and I have also become good friends; we only hang out in English though. At lunch I spend my time with a group of people that are nice but annoying at times. I'm not sure why I keep hanging out with them but I do.
I got up on Thursday, going through my morning routine, and then went off to school where Brad waiting for me.
"Hey Brad," I said, greeting him.
"Hey Ren, how are you this morning?" He asked
"I'm good," I replied.
"That's great... So uh, are you busy this Friday?"
"I don't think I have any plans."
"Do you want to go out this Friday... Maybe catch a movie?" he asked nervously with a hand behind his neck and the other in his pocket; he looks so adorable right now.
"Sure... I'd like that," I replied.
"Great," he said smiling, "oh here, give me your phone so I can put my number into it."
We exchanged numbers just when the bell rang and we headed off to class together. Rumours about our date travelled quickly, and by lunch our table was buzzing about our date. Halfway through lunch, it became a little overwhelming. I excused myself and decided to go outside. I like Brad, he's a nice guy, but I don't get why everyone else is so interested about it. I saw a tree and decided to go sit in the shade and read a book. It wasn't long before I heard footsteps approaching and a shadow over me. I looked up and saw Brad.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey," I replied.
"Sorry about my friends."
"It's fine..."
"So what was your school like back home?" He asked as he sat down next to me.
"Well my family moves around a lot so I went to a lot of different schools and I pretty much just stuck around with my family. I didn't like making friends because once I got to know them I had to move. I was home schooled for a while too... Now all my siblings have graduated so it's just me."
"How many siblings do you have?"
"Six."
"Wow."
"I know..."
"Do you have any interests?"
"I like reading, playing the piano, and spending time with my family. What about you?"
"Well I'm on the soccer team, I also like spending time with my friends and family, reading, and I volunteer at the animal shelter. I have a mom and dad, no siblings unfortunately. And I've lived here all my life." I almost envied this normal life, but at the same time, if my life was normal I wouldn't have my family.
"It sounds nice," I replied.
"It's a bit lonely sometimes... My parents work a lot and you've met some of my friends..." Before I could reply the bell rang.
"We should go," Brad said as he held out a hand to help me up. I went to my class and silently worked. When the bell rang I gathered my things and went to English.
"So I hear you have a date with the most popular guy in school," Holly commented as I sat down next to her.
"Yes... It's just a movie date, I don't get why so many people are so interested about it," I said.
"It's high school, what do you expect," she said.
"I guess..."
School ended quickly and I went home. Jacob has been using the schedule I helped him make so we're back to normal. We've been spending a lot of time in the woods exploring the new area, and we headed home before it got dark. The next day was just like any other: I woke up, did my thing and went to school.
"Hey Ren, you excited for tonight?" Brad asked at lunch.
"Yeah, definitely," I replied.
"Do you want to eat somewhere else for lunch? Somewhere less crowded?"
"I'd like that."
"Great."
We ate lunch outside again, enjoying the solitude and getting to know each other more. And after that school went by fairly quickly. I got home and found my uncle Emmett eagerly waiting for me.
"Hey Nessie, you, me, rematch; go fish," he said as I walked into the house.
"Maybe later uncle Em," I said a bit nervously.
"What, why?" He asked, whining.
"I'm busy..."
"Busy doing what?"
"Renesmee here has a date," aunt Alice said. The whole household went silent, and then they all came rushing to me.
"When were you going to tell us about your date?" mom asked. I groaned.
"Oh come on, you guys probably already knew, I can't keep any secrets in this household."
"So you weren't going to tell us?" Aunt Rose asked.
"Yes... I just don't want you guys making a big deal about this... Like how you are right now," I said, blushing beet red. They all seemed to relax a bit.
"Well don't think you're leaving until we meet this boy," dad said. I sighed.
"You're going to scare him away."
But I couldn't help smiling at the idea of Brad meeting four intimidating vampires. I love my family but sometimes they go a little overboard.
"Hey Jake do you want to go hunting with me?" I asked, feeling a bit thirsty.
"Sure," he replied. We ran outside and he transformed and we raced through the woods. Jacob is a lot faster than me since he's a werewolf and I'm only half vampire, but he likes running with me. He doesn't hunt either, but my family would go crazy if I went alone. I like it when he comes with me, it's a time when we can be together and be our true selves away from the human world and just let ourselves go. About a mile into our run, I catched scent of a deer and headed in its direction. I slowly creeped up on it then attacked. Once I was satisfied with it, I stood up and met Jakes big wolf eyes staring at me with a grin.
"What?" I asked. He walked over and nudged my head. I reached up and found a few leaves and sticks in my hair. I laughed. "Can you imagine if my date saw me now," I said, Jacob grinned again. I sighed. "Promise me you won't be as intimidating as the others when he arrives." He nodded and then licked my face. "Ew Jake!" He gave me a somewhat apologetic look while holding back another grin. "Come on we should get back." I hopped on his back and he ran us home. It was six when we arrived, so I decided to get ready; I did a few adjustments to my hair and makeup, I thought about changing but I felt weird changing when I've just seen him not long ago and it's just a movie. I went to Aunt Alice's room, where I found her, Aunt Rose and my mom.
"You look beautiful!" Aunt Alice said.
"Thanks," I replied.
"So you're all ready for your date huh," Uncle Em said from the doorway.
"Yes," I said.
"And just in time too," Aunt Rose said, she pulled the curtain to the window, revealing Brad's car pulling up to our house. I ran downstairs to greet him, trying to beat the rest of the men in the household. I heard a knock on the door just as I got downstairs, but Grandpa beat me to it.
"Um hi I'm Brad, I'm here to pick up Ren," Brad said.
"Oh yes, come in," Grandpa said. "I'm Carlisle, Renesme's father."
"It's nice to meet you sir," Brad replied politely as I walked over to them and smiled at him. "Hey Ren."
"Hey Brad," I replied.
"So you're the one who's taking out our little sister," dad said, walking over.
"Uh yeah, that's the plan," Brad replied, looking a bit more nervous.
"No funny business, all right? She's my little sister," Uncle Emmett said, folding his arms, as the other men in my household stared him down.
"Uh-um- y-yes o-of course I-I'd I-I will u-um," Brad stuttered.
"I'll see you later," I said grabbing Brad's arm and walking out. He held my door open like a gentleman and we got in.
"Your family is scary," Brad muttered as we drove away. I laughed.
"Yeah... Sorry about that."
"What do your parents do anyway? Are you guys in the mafia or something?" He asked, joking. I laughed.
"No, my brothers are just really protective. But my dad is a doctor and my mom, she does interior designing on the side, and we also own a company... My brother mostly runs it..."
"Wow... Your household seems pretty cool."
"Yeah..."
"So what's it like with four older brothers?"
"Oh actually I only have three, Jacob isn't my brother, he's my best friend, but to answer your question, it's pretty crazy sometimes."
"I bet... So how long have you known Jacob?"
"Since the day I was born... And we've been inseperable ever since," I said, trying not to lie. I hate lying but it's necessary for me and my family.
"You sure he's okay with you going out with me?"
"Yes, why wouldn't he?"
"Just curious."
"Oh..." It was silent for a moment.
"How old is he?"
"Our age."
"Really? Wow."
"Yeah I know, he's huge."
"Your other brother looked like a giant." I laughed.
"Yeah that's Emmett, he can be pretty scary when he wants to be, but deep down he's just a giant teddy bear."
"Well he makes quite the first impression." We arrived at the movies and went inside to check out our options.
"Let me guess, you want go to see Last Love?" Brad asked.
"Uh no. Do you want to see Zombie Brains?" I asked.
"Yes, thank you!" I laughed.
"You can thank my brothers for my taste in movies." He smiled at me and got in line to get the tickets. The movie was pretty good, the gory parts were a bit cheesy; people don't bleed like that. I guess at some point in the movie Brad thought I was scared so he grabbed my hand. After the movies we decided to go to the arcade. Brad and I appeared evenly matched at each game. I could tell at first Brad was going easy and after a while he was really putting all his effort in to it.
"You're different than the other girls at school," he said after we decided to stop and shared some fries.
"Is that a good thing?" I asked.
"Definitely. When I first met you I had a feeling about you. I really like you."
"I like you too."
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked a bit nervously.
"Yes," I replied, trying to hold back a small grin. He grinned, and then looked at the time.
"I should get you home; I don't want your parents to worry about you." We got into his car and drove to my house. When we arrived, he opened my door like before and walked me to the door.
"I had a good time tonight," I said as we walked.
"Yeah me too," he replied.
"Well I'll see you on Monday."
"Yeah I'll see you." I went inside and waved at him through the window as he got into his car and drove off.
"So how was it?" mom asked.
"It was good," I replied.
"Did he try anything with you?" dad asked.
"No, he was very polite," I replied.
"Good," he said.
"Now if you would all excuse me, I'm going to bed."
I hurried to my room and jumped on my bed grinning. Tonight was a great night.
