The Morning's Dusk

Chapter 9

When I pulled up to the school, I looked at it and took pictures with my mind. It never seemed this great to me. Jake (who was riding with me) fake-coughed, "Freak." I turned and said, "What?" He said, "Nobody likes school as much as you.... especially when they already know everything." I shook my head and said, "I don't know what you're thinking." He smiled and said, "Just ask your dad." I faked a laughed and tugged his hand so we wuldn't be late for class.

In fifth hour, Emmett sent me a note in a paper airplane. It had a picture of me and Jake with a heart in between us. On the back it said: HAHA just because you beat up a vampire doesn't mean you're not going to get teased. :p

I rolled my eyes and passed it to Jake and he laughed. I sighed and looked at Rose. She was shaking her head at Emmett. When the teacher left the room, the class went wild.

I hit Emmett's arm and said, "You're so mean!" Sara, a girl in almost all of my classes, turned to me. She flipped her dark black hair and said, "My boyfriend's having a huge party tonight. Here's the invite. You can bring your boyfriend too." She winked at him and turned back around. I looked at him and saw that he was blushing.

I crossed my arms and looked out the window. How could he be flattered by that jerk? He imprinted on me! I touched the locket Bella had given me when I was very young and opened it.

There was a picture of Bella and Edward in it. I closed it right after I opened it, because Natalie (Sara's best friend) was peering at it. She gave me a strange look and whispered something to Sara. Luckily, I had great ears. She had whispered, "Check out that Cullen girl. She's such a freak! We have to steal that hottie away from her." I chuckled in spite of the irony (he was always running a high fever, so he was always hot). Then I wrote on the back of his hand in Sharpie: Sorry, I'm TAKEN by: RENESMEE CULLEN! <3

I smiled at my work and put my books in my bag because the bell was about to ring. As I was walking down the hall later that day, guys kept yelling, "Hey, Renesmee! Write on my hand!" I went outside, by the phone booth and saw Jake standing inside it.

He wasn't even on the phone. He was changing back into his shirt from shifting. When he came out, he wrapped his arms around my waist and said, "Hey, Ness. What's up?" I said, "You. Did you grow again?" He laughed a booming laugh and kissed my hair.
