Renesmee POV
On Thursday morning, I sat in my car and tried to start the engine when I heard a horrible noise. I groaned and got out of my car, slamming the door.
"Don't worry, it's probably a simple fix I'll have a look at it," Aunt Rose said.
"Thanks," I said.
"Come on Nessie I'll give you a ride to school," Jake said. He pulled up his motorbike and I hoped on. I looked over and caught Jacob staring at me.
"What?" I asked. "Do I have something on my face?" He grinned at me.
"No..." He said, shaking his head. "I just... Never mind." I stared at him for a few seconds and then just shrugged at his odd behaviour.
"Safety first!" dad yelled from the balcony. I put on my helmet and waved at him and we drove off. I loved riding with Jake. The wind in my hair, the feel of the bike and the road. I've always wanted to learn how to ride a bike, but Jake is hesitant to teach me even though I'm almost indestructible. When we got to school, I could feel people staring at us. I handed Jake the helmet back and got off the bike.
"Me or someone else will pick you up after school okay," Jake said.
"Okay," I replied.
"I'll see you after school Nessie," he said, kissing me on the head.
"Bye Jake," I waved as he drove off. I hadn't walked two steps when Brittany walked up.
"Who was that? Was he your other boyfriend?" She asked.
"Hi to you too, Brittany, and no, that's Jacob. He's my best friend," I said.
"Oh my god he is so hot! Is he single?"
"He's single... But I don't know if he's interested in anyone right now."
"Oh that's too bad..."
"Yeah... Anyway, have you seen Brad?"
"Actually he's coming over here right now." I turned around and saw him; I smiled and waved at him. He was frowning again but gave me a small smile as he came closer. "I'll see you later Ren."
"Yeah, see you Brittany," I said as Brad walked up.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey," I replied.
"Where's your car?" Brad asked.
"I'm having car troubles so I'm having it looked at," I replied.
"I could have given you a ride."
"No it's fine, Jake was already there and he was coming into town anyway, so it's fine."
"Do you need a ride home then?"
"No, Jacob or someone else will come get me, probably my dad after work or something, depending how it goes at work, I don't know," I said rambling a bit.
"Okay..."
"But thanks for the offer."
"Yeah no problem," he said. The bell rang and we headed off to class in silence. Brad was unusually grumpy today. He snapped at a few people during class and when we got out I cornered him.
"Is something wrong Brad?" I asked grabbing his hands. He sighed.
"It's stupid."
"Brad just tell me, I promise you I won't think it's stupid."
"You will... Just forget it, we have to get to class."
He walked off. I stood there a bit stunned for a few seconds before hurrying off to class myself. I couldn't concentrate during class, all I could think about was Brad, and if I did something wrong, or maybe it's something with his parents. Once the bell rang for lunch, I decided to find Brad and get him to open up to me. When I walked in the cafeteria, I saw his whole soccer team at our table chanting. Our eyes met and he walked over.
"Hey Ren," he said, looking in a much better mood.
"Hey," I replied. "What's going on here?"
"Oh, well our game got rescheduled, so it's today after school. Do you want to come? I could give you a ride after."
"Sure that sounds great."
"Great, now…" he leaned down and grabbed his jersey out of his backpack. "Will you wear this?" I giggled as I grabbed it.
"Sure."
"Great, here put it on." I put it on and gave him a twirl and struck a pose showing it off, and he laughed at my silliness.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"You look great," he said, grinning. "Come on."
He grabbed my hand we joined the others. Brad was in a way better mood during lunch, as he and his team did another chant. I shifted in my seat uncomfortably and caught Holly's eye. She sent me an apologetic look and smiled. Once the bell rang, Brad walked me to my class and gave me a kiss on the cheek before I walked in the classroom. I sat with Holly.
"How was lunch?" She asked.
"Loud," I replied. "Brad was really upset this morning and he wouldn't tell me why so I was going to talk to him at lunch, but it's like nothing ever happened."
"He's just excited for the game; maybe whatever was bothering him wasn't that big of a deal."
"Maybe... And do they always do that before a game?"
"Yeah, it gets them pumped up for the game."
"Oh... I usually avoid big noisy groups... I've never been in a popular group, being with all those girls it's like they're only friends with me because I'm dating Brad. If we were to break up, they wouldn't talk to me. You're my only real friend here."
"Thank you, you should sit with me at lunch sometimes," she pouted. "We're all really nice quiet."
"I'll think about it. I just... It's silly but, I don't want to leave Brad."
"Brad can join us." I frowned.
"I don't think he would..."
"Okay class," the teacher said to start today's lesson. Class went by slowly. I kept thinking about Brad, and I was excited to see him play. I decided to push away my negative thoughts and stop worrying and focus on the lesson again. My next class dragged too, but when it was over I sprang from my seat and happily walked out. Brad sent me a text saying he would see me after the game, and I replied by wishing him luck. I went to my locker to dropped off my stuff and sent my parents a quick text telling them where I was and not to worry about giving me a ride. I joined Brittany and the others on the bleachers. The game was pretty close; both teams seemed to be evenly matched. I cheered for Brad from the sidelines with the other girls. I must admit, Brad looked good in a uniform. He was a good player, no wonder he was captain. He was a good team player, good sportsmanship, and a good leader. All qualities my family lacks when we play sports together. Closer to the end we were tied with the other school. And at the last second Brad passed the ball to his teammate and he scored. The buzzer sounded, ending the game. We all stood up and cheered. Brad and his teammates lifted the guy with the winning goal and cheered. When they set him down Brad ran over to me.
"Congratulations," I said.
"Thanks," he said and picked me up and twirled me around.
"Brad," I groaned, "you're all sweaty."
"Sorry," he said putting me down. "I'll go get changed and I'll meet you back here."
"Sounds good," he kissed my cheek and hurried off.
"Awe, you two are so cute together," Brittany said from behind me.
"Thanks," I said, a bit unsure of myself.
She turned back to Amy, another girl that usually sat with us at lunch, and continued talking about the latest gossip. I ignored them as I waited for Brad. I finally spotted him and said my goodbyes to the girls and went over to him.
"Are you ready to go?" he asked.
"Yup," I replied and followed him to his car. During the ride, Brad happily went over the game with me, analyzing it and commenting on things him and his team should work on. When we approached my house, I saw my car sitting in the driveway, Aunt Rose and Jacob standing beside it, absorbed in a heated discussion. Those two will never get along. I hopped out of Brad's car and excitedly ran over to mine.
"Hey Nessie," Jake said, giving me a quick hug.
"Hey Jake," I replied.
"Does he own a shirt?" I heard Brad mumble from behind me. I heard Aunt Rose snicker and I shot her a small glare.
"So how's my car?"
"Your car is fine, it was just a minor problem," Aunt Rose said.
"Thanks guys!" I said hugging them both. I felt them both stiffen, probably because they didn't like being so close together, but I ignored them. "Hey Brad, do you want to go on a ride with me?"
"No, I should get going; my mom should be home soon. But it was nice seeing you guys. And I'll see you at school, Ren," Brad replied, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek before walking back to his car.
"I'll see you later, Brad," I said as he got into his car and drove off. "Do you want to go on a ride with me, Jake?"
"Sure, just let me get changed," he replied and went inside.
"Why do you hate Jake so much?" I asked my aunt after a moment. She scoffed.
"Don't even get me started," she said before making her way inside the house herself.
Aunt Rose and Jake tried to get along, but you could tell they hated each other. Jake came back out moments later, and we got in to my car and drove off.
"Easy there Nessie, we're not even on the highway yet," Jake said.
"Sorry," I mumbled; I'd missed my car.
leave a review! I'll post again on Sunday, it will be the last update.
