Previously on Clouded Destiny...

After we finished, I washed the dishes, as it was my designated night and then went back up stairs to finish the other half of my homework. By this point, MJ and PT had been forced to do their own so I knew I wouldn't be able to finish without any interruptions. I did so before the other two and decided to head downstairs to watch TV with my fathers. They were cuddled up together on the couch but separated to let me sit between them when they saw me come down the stairs and enter the living room. I grinned and took their invitation, sighing in contentment as I felt the warmth of my Dad and Papa surrounding me.

I'm pretty sure Papa carried me to bed after I fell asleep between them as well...

Chapter Two

Boo

SJ's Point of View

I was woken in the morning by gentle shakes and taps to my side. I groaned and turned my head into the pillow, not nearly ready to wake up to face the uncomfortable, dreaded task I had to do at school today. I heard a soft chuckle above me and the tapping resumed. I groaned again and tried to push away the hands but my actions only elicited more, louder chuckles.

"SJ, come on Puppy, time to get up. Your Dad's cooking and it'll be ready soon. Come on, up and at 'em." Papa's deep voice ordered as he stood up from my bed. I sighed again and made no effort to move from my warm bed. I happened to chance a glance out from the safety of my pillow when Papa didn't reprimand me for ignoring him and it seemed to be the opening that he was waiting for, yanking the curtains wide open so that the rare La Push sun streamed into the room like a freaking spotlight. I groaned and grumbled to myself, burying my face deeper into my pillow. Papa's laugh carried down the hallway as he left me to my temporary blindness, shouting, "SJ, up, now or your brothers will eat your breakfast and it'll be your own fault," on his way down the stairs.

I sighed. I knew he was joking. He wouldn't let them eat my breakfast but he'd find another way to get me back for ignoring him again. No one ignored Papa, not even Uncle Jacob or Uncle Sam. Begrudgingly, I threw my comforter off my body, shivering at the chill of the morning whilst keeping my eyes tightly shut as I walked towards my window. I knew my room well enough to do so and I yanked the curtains back together, cutting off the harsh light as I grumbled yet again about the annoying ways Papa had developed over the years to get us out of bed in the morning. With my eyes now safe, I opened them and assessed my room. Damn, I really needed to tidy up in here after school, it was a tip-hole.

I breezed about getting ready for school, showering quickly before the other two used all the hot water before drying and dressing in a pair of black jeans and one of the school's football team's brown supporter shirts. PT was part of the football team at LPH and MJ was part of the basketball team. For me, soccer was my spot but I never thought about joining a team. Maybe I should, but then, I'm going to be busy with this new kid. What was his name? Jacob?

Uncle Jake told Papa about everything he'd been able to acquire about the new family that was moving to the outskirts of town. Apparently they were from New Zealand. Why they'd decided to move here of all places confused me to high heaven but who was I to judge, right? Uncle Sam's construction company was building their house and it was big. The only reason why I knew that was because I heard Papa and Uncle Paul, who worked for Uncle Sam at the company, talking about it a couple of weeks ago. I sounded like these New Zealanders were into quick a lot of money. Oh God, I hope this Jacob kid wasn't some sort of spoilt kid or something. I couldn't be doing with that but I would reserve my opinions until I actually met the kid, which would be in matter of...shit, 40 minutes.

Realising that I was moving glaringly slowly this morning and had made myself late for school, I dashed out my room and down the stairs, skidding into the kitchen to be met with Dad's cocked eyebrow and Papa's expectant stare. I blushed and smiled innocently, sitting down at the table with my brothers, who were snickering at me and almost finished with their breakfast, to start eating my own; or scoffing really. I had no time.

"Are you ready for today, SJ? Jacob sounds like a nice kid so don't worry." Dad assured me, gently brushing the hair back from my forehead as he stood behind me. I nodded, my mouth full of bacon. Okay, so I wasn't ready to meet the new kid but I wasn't about to admit that and have Dad worry about me all day. Papa saw through me and cocked an eyebrow but stayed silent, thankfully. "Uncle Jake has told Ephraim and Sammy Jr to get the older ones to sit with them at lunch so take Jacob as well, okay?"

I swallowed. "Okay Dad." I agreed.

"How come we're not showing any new meat around school?" PT asked, not even bothering to swallow the bite of his toast he was chewing. I rolled my eyes at him and he opened his mouth, revealing the mushy bread within. I grimaced and shook my head in disgust as he and MJ chuckled. Dad tapped him on the head.

"Don't be disgusting and don't talk with your mouth full. Uncle Jake thought that SJ would be best for the job." Dad answered, picking up their empty plates from in front of them as they simultaneously down their glasses of milk and belched together, giggling like idiots afterwards.

"Manners." Papa scolded. PT and MJ ducked their heads.

"Excuse us." they mumbled, smirking at each other sideways, as if Papa wouldn't catch them. He just shook his head at my older brothers.

"Go on, you all better get to school. Uncle Sam has already given you a pass for your first class, SJ, so that you can meet Jacob at the front office." Dad informed me, handing me my backpack from the counter. I nodded and gave him and Papa a hug as the other two protested behind me.

"Oh what? Do we get first class off?" they asked in unison. You know, some times I feel like I'm just a single child and they were really just twins. They did everything together. Hell, you know they even belch together.

"Why would you need first period off? At least I have a genuine excuse." I asked, walking past them to the door.

"Stop moaning guys and get to school before you're late. Go." Papa ordered, wrapping his arms around Dad's waist and kissing his neck. That did it. My older brothers' eyes widened and they were out the front door like bats out of hell. I snickered and shook my head, giving my fathers one last wave before heading out after them. They called their good lucks after me and again, I waved in acknowledgement.

I walked behind MJ and PT towards the school only a couple of blocks away whilst they pushed and shoved in front of me like five-year-olds. I swear I was the only one actually growing up between the three of us. I instantly noticed the new additions to the parking lot when we walked in the main gate. New shiny cars stood to our right and my suspicions about the new family having a lot of money were confirmed, or at least a lot more money than we mere res folk had. But then, if they could move themselves across the world then I'm not really surprised.

There, stood out like two sore thumbs, was a blue BMW, which looked to be a convertible to boot and a cool black Chevrolet Truck that looked like it could be the great-great grandchild of Aunt Bella's Red Beast. Yeah, the Red Beast was still running and yes, I know it's a miracle. Half the student body were frozen in their steps and beside their own rusty cars, gaping at the shiny toys before them. My brothers were no different. I rolled my eyes at everyone and calmly walked through the stationary crowd towards the main office. However, every step I took, I could feel the nerves from this morning creeping back in until I was slightly shaking. I don't do these things, I leave these things to PT and MJ. But Uncle Jacob trusted and believed in me, I could do this.

Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and gave myself an internal pep talk. I could do this. It wasn't so bad. This kid is the same age as me and he had no right to judge me or anything as long as I don't judge him. I say hello, introduce myself and then take him to his locker. I show him where everything is whilst taking him to his first class and then that'll be that. Yeah, that's what I'll do. Oh shit, wait, what if he was in all my classes? What if he was forced to sit next to me? That would be so awkward if we didn't hit it off in the main office! Shit, shit, shit!

"HEY! You must me SJ!"

I squeaked. Of all the awful reactions I could have given, I squeaked as a jolly, loud voice spoke directly behind me as a pale hand was set upon my shoulder, breaking me out of my internal panic with a jolt. I spun around faster than I thought possible, almost losing my footing and backpack in the process. A light giggle sounded from the same mouth as the words did and my eyes widened at the sight of a small and pale, but cute and seemingly friendly, guy standing not three feet from me, a couple of books and papers hugged to his chest and a backpack slung over his shoulder as he grinned widely and openly at me. I've never seen him before. Ah...this must be Jacob.

It appeared he was trying super hard to contain his amusement to my reaction and I couldn't help but blush at myself. The blush seemed to be the last straw though and he burst out into musical giggles and chortles. His eyes widened and he clamped his hand over his mouth as if he knew he shouldn't be laughing but he couldn't contain himself anyway. I chuckled along, kinda seeing the funny side of it even though I was still dying inside of insane mortification. He held a placating hand towards me, as if silently asking not to be offended and I could see he was genuine, despite his continuing giggles.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you but...but that was so funny. Sorry!" he laughed, blushing in embarrassment of not being about to contain himself. I just laughed and shook my head in dismissal, smiling at him as his chuckles died down enough for him to speak more calmly and coherently. His face was still flushed with his amusement though as was mine with my embarrassment. He held his hand out to me again in greeting. "Hi, you must be SJ, my guide person thingy? I'm Jacob, but you can call me JJ, or Boo, but you don't have to. My family calls me Boo but you might not want to. JJ is fine."

Ah, he was a talker...

My ears found it hard to keep up with his insanely fast chatter whilst my eyes continued to take him in. His skin was pale but flush as I just said and his eyes were a deep hazel that seemed to dim or in this case, lighten up depending on his emotions. Right now, they were more green due to his obvious excitement and enthusiasm of being here. He was shorter than me, maybe 5'8 or something and his hair was medium brown, falling slightly in his eyes. His style was awesome. He had on some black wash jeans with a t-shirt and purple blazer. On his feet were purple tennis shoes.

"Hey, JJ, yeah I'm SJ, or um, Seth Jacob-"

"Oh! Sweet, we have the same name! See! We already have something in common. We'll be best friends in no time! So don't we have to go in there?" he asked, pointing to the double doors of the main office. I nodded.

"Um, yeah, uh come on." I said, turning to open the door. He giggled when I held it open for him.

"Aww, you're just like my Tim. He does that, such a gentleman." he gushed, walking ahead of me. I frowned.

"Um, Tim?" I asked, confused. A huge grin over took JJ's face, larger than the one he'd greeted me with even. I didn't think it could get any bigger but as he spoke about this Tim fellow, I could easily see that it did.

"Oh my God! Dude, that's my man! Oh! I'm gay by the way. I hope that's not gonna be a problem! But anyway, my Tim is freaking gorgeous. Just wait until you see him, Sethy, he's beaut!" he blurted, hand flailing everywhere as he explained. I nodded up until he called me Sethy and then I groaned. He spun towards me, eyes wide in question.

"Please don't call me that." I grumbled. He frowned; the expression definitely didn't suit his face.

"Call you what?" he asked, confused.

"Um...Sethy." Damn it, I even cringed as I said it. I hate that name. His face dawned with recognition and he blushed cutely, smiling apologetically.

"Right, sorry, I just blurt out any old name for someone. I'll just call you SJ or do you have another nickname. I mean, we're best friends now so we need nicknames, right? You can call me Boo, like I said." he offered, openly.

I was about to answer him when the voice of my best friend filtered up into the room as the door opened. I turned and grinned at her as she looked up. Her grin lifted to match my own and she rushed forward, giving me her customary morning hug. "Puppy! Hey, why aren't you in class? Oh, hey, who's this?" She asked, grinning over at JJ. He grinned back and it was like something passed through them.

"I'm Jacob, JJ for short. Hell, call me Boo!" he introduced himself before I could before stepping forward and pulling Banana into a big hug. Unsurprisingly, she chuckled and hugged him back. This seemed to pleased JJ very much and he giggled.

"I'll call you Boo if you call me Banana. Everyone else does. But it's Chelsea, my real name." she clarified, smiling. "Do you like the school so far?"

"Oh, haven't seen much of it yet but we're here for my schedule and everything. But from what I've seen, it's pretty awesome. I've already met my best friend." he laughed, nudging my side. I blushed as Banana turned to look at me with a fake pout, even though it struck as hard as her real pout.

"You've replaced me, Puppy? Oh, I'm hurt." she whined, pouting harder. I frowned and hugged her.

"Oh, don't be a Silly Banana. I can't ever replace you." I sighed, rolling my eyes. She giggled and we both looked at JJ, to see he was looking guilty.

"What's up?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to replace you." he mumbled. She giggled.

"Don't be silly, Boo. People have more than one best friend, right?" she said, grinning. JJ grinned at her words.

"Right!" he laughed. I turned to Banana.

"What are you in here for? Oh, you haven't injured Eph again have you? Enough to be sent to the principle's office? It's only first period, Banana." I sighed, shaking my head. Boo watched us with amusement. She laughed and shook her head.

"You have such little faith in me, Puppy. No, I'm copying something for Aunt Kim." she informed me, gesturing over to the photocopier in the corner of the room that was currently in use.

"Aunt Kim? We call teachers our Aunts here?" Boo asked, confused. Banana and I giggled. I shook my head.

"No, Aunt Kim really is our aunt. Not by blood. Not even really by marriage but all our families are super close and we call each other's parents our Aunts and Uncles. We have another Aunt here, Aunt Rachel, she teaches English. To everyone else, they're known as Mrs Pelletier and Mrs Lahote." I explained. JJ smiled and nodded in understanding.

"Oo, copier is free. See you later Boo. It was nice meeting you. Oh and love you Puppy, see you second?" Banana asked as she made her way across the room. I grinned.

"You bet!" I called back. She smiled and waved before disappearing.

"Oh, I like her. She's cool." Boo commented. I grinned.

"We've been best friends our whole life. But come on, we better get everything for you." I suggested, gently grabbing his arm to pull him to the front desk.

"Um, Miss Jamieson? This is Jacob...Jacob, uh..." I floundered as it occurred to be that I didn't know his last name and I glanced down at him in question. He giggled.

"Glen. Jacob Glen's the name. I'm new." he announced, proudly.

Miss Jamieson smiled and nodded without a word, sifting through some papers in front of her until she made a noise of recognition and plucked a few out of the pile, along with a key from a container to her right. She handed them to JJ and he peered down at them looking a little lost with what to do with them, as if he's never been to a new school before. I smiled at Miss Jamieson and led Boo away from her desk so that we could sort through the paper work. I for one wanted to know what his schedule was, more excited than worried about him having the same classes as me since we did hit it off here in the main office.

"Okay, if you want to hand them over, I'll get your schedule out for you." I offered and he did so without argument, biting his lip. The key was for his locker and when I glanced at the number, I couldn't help but grin.

"What?" he asked, nervously. Funny, he wasn't nervous before.

"Your locker is next to Banana's, which is like, nine down from mine." I informed him. He smiled and nodded. I looked over his schedule. "Oh sweet, you have every class with me except Spanish. But you have music. My brother, MJ has that class and I'll tell him to be nice."

"Okay, cool, will you show me to my locker? My bag is heavy." he said, shifting as if to prove his point but even with his small frame and the bag being so bulky, it didn't look like he had the slightest bit of trouble lugging it about but I nodded since I needed to anyway and led the way out the office doors.

Well, I thought I walked through the door but it seemed like there had been a brick wall built right out side of it during the short time we had been inside. I gasped and fell back, landing on the deck with an 'oomph'. I hissed as my tail-bone banged against the door frame and my hand instantly reached back to soothe it. There was a gasp, a few chuckles and a groan. A warm, tanned arm reached down, the smooth skin of the entire length of his forearm illustrated with some kind weird, yet beautiful black tribal design, and wrapped around my upper arm. I marvelled at the power of this mysterious guy's strength as he lifted me clean off the ground and steady onto my feet, not letting go until I had my bearings.

"Damn Nix, you didn't have to chest bounce the poor kid. I always knew you worked out too much." a deep, teasing voice laughed behind a huge, muscular guy. Oh my Holy Jesus, this wasn't a guy! This was a freaking man! Did he go here? Was he a new teacher or something? He had to be. He couldn't be a student. He looked no younger than 20!

As my eyes roamed over the man in front of me, I took in every inch that he had to offer. His tight, tan skin bunched and rippled over rock hard muscles, showcased by the white tank top that stretched tightly over his torso. His jeans hung low on his hips and a sliver of his boxer waistband was peeking just above them. As I scanned his body, I could see that the forearm tattoo wasn't the only piece of art he had jotted on his soft skin. On the opposite shoulder to his forearm tattoo, his left shoulder to be exact, he had a black thick, intricate tribal design tattoo inked across the entire expanse of his shoulder and down his muscular upper arm. Fuck, I didn't even consider tattoos to be sexy until I saw them on this sexy specimen in front of me.

Looking up at his face, I gasped at the smooth lines and gorgeous lips dawning his face. His features were rounded but by no means plump, apart from his lips. Oh my God, what I wouldn't give... They were so...so kissable. I pressed my lips together as if I could somehow feel them pressed against mine or something. I noticed then that those amazing lips were pulled up at one side into a smug smirk and my eyes snapped upwards, to his.

I was lost.

Deep, deep obsidian eyes bore into mine, wide with wonder but they shone with something I couldn't quite identify yet. His whole expression seemed dazed now somehow, like there was a haze in his mind. My breathing sped up and my heart beat hitched up a notch as we continued to gaze deeply at each other. With every second, it seemed like he revealed to himself another part of my soul, like it was his to take and observe all that he wanted. It was the same for me. His eyes held no secrets yet they were mysterious and never ending pools of black. I wanted to reveal everything and anything to this dark stranger...and that scared the shit out of me.

Our gaze was harshly broken as something hard, very hard slammed into my back and I lurched forward, face planting into a warm, muscular chest before anyone could save me. There was a gasp behind me but I couldn't think past anything that wasn't the man in front of me. His arms had branded around me as soon as I'd fallen into their proximity and they felt like hot, silky chains. I could feel his biceps bunch and relax against my upper arms and I swear I swooned. What the hell was wrong with me?

Quickly, I lurched back from his hold, careful to avoid the office door that now stood open. I guess that's what hit me then. In the doorway stood Banana, freshly copied papers in her hand as she assessed the scene out here in the hall. When her eyes settled on my mystery man and even one that stood behind him, they widened and I knew that something embarrassing was going to come out her mouth.

"Well hello there, tall, dark and handsome." she laughed but then the unbelievable happened.

He blushed. What the fuck? A man like him doesn't blush! Well apparently he does.

"Uh...hi." he mumbled, dipping his head in embarrassment. Banana giggled and then noticed me standing there.

"Oh, I thought you were way gone by now. Where's Boo?" she asked, glancing around before she grinned again. I followed her gaze. My jaw dropped at the sight of our impromptu new best friend cuddling up to another tall, dark and handsome guy who also looked like he could bench press a small car. Boo was grinning wildly from within the guy's arms and I realised that this must be the Tim fellow he was talking about. Damn...he was freaking right! The man was gorgeous.

"Hey SJ, I would like you to meet my Tim. Tim, this is SJ, my new best friend and Banana, my other new best friend." Boo proudly announced both parties to each other. I smiled and offered my hand, which he shook before he glanced at Banana.

"What sort of name is Banana? Your parents have a sense of humour?" Tim asked, teasingly. Banana rolled her eyes but smiled as she shook his hand.

"Ha ha, you're funny but no, Banana is my nickname. My Mom named me Chelsea, if you must know." she replied, sassily. Tim chuckled and nodded.

"Oh, and this is Nix, or Phoenix." Boo added, even though I was sure he knew that that was the introduction I was waiting for. My eyes gravitated back towards Nix's (damn, even his name is amazing) eyes and he smiled at me, revealing two rows of stark white, straight teeth. I blushed and smiled back, breaking eye contact.

"What's the hold up here?" someone called behind Tim. We all turned and saw Sammy Jr, Ephraim and Alex walking towards us, the latter of the three talking between themselves as Sammy looked our way.

Nix lifted a placating hand. "Sorry, knocked SJ over and we got chatting." he explained. Alex chuckled.

"Let me guess, he bumped into you?" he guessed, rolling his eyes at me. I stuck my tongue out at him because I was so mature. Nix chuckled and I gaped at him. Wow, I love that sound.

"Yeah, we kinda bumped into each other and then Chelsea, here, launched him into me with the door." he replied. Banana blushed.

"Yeah, sorry about that. Didn't think there would be anyone out here." she apologised sheepishly. I rolled my eyes and hugged her.

"It wouldn't be the first time, would it?" I asked her, raising an eyebrow. She giggled.

"You'll soon learn that Banana has a tendency to accidentally cause pain to others, like with the door." Ephraim offered up as information, making the newcomers chuckle.

"No, Eph, it's only an accident if it doesn't involve you." she retorted, sweetly. I hid my grin as taunting 'ooooh's and laughter coursed through their audience. She turned to me, kissed my cheek and then made her way towards her class, also kissing Boo's cheek along the way as well, something he seemed very, very pleased with. We watched as she disappeared around the corner. And yes, I noticed that Eph was watching her ass sway with each step. We'll have to have words soon.

"Damn...I like her." Tim stated after a minute or so of silence.

"Yep, that's Banana. But we need to go Boo otherwise I'm not going to be able to show you everything in time for second period." I pointed out, looking down at my watch. Boo nodded before looking up at Tim. I averted my gaze just before their lips locked and I blushed when I heard a small moan come from Boo. How was it that I could watch my Dad and Papa kiss but never anyone else?

"Be careful okay. I love you." I heard Tim murmur. Boo nodded and leaned up to kiss him again.

"I will. Love you too. See you at lunch."

"You bet." Tim promised, giving him a gentle nudge towards me, making Boo giggle and roll his eyes at me. I smiled and glanced at the others, catching Nix's eyes.

"Um, it was...it was nice meeting you guys. See ya." I called, leading Boo down the hallway to the cafeteria and gym just to show him where they were located. They were on the way to his locker anyway.

"I saw that you know." Boo stated smugly as he gave me a smile way glance and smile. I frowned at him, confused.

"Saw what?" I asked. He giggled.

"I saw you eye fucking our Nix." he clarified, making me gasp in horror. He guffawed and walked ahead of me as I stopped momentarily in my embarrassment and mortification. I soon caught back up with him though, my face as hot and red as a chilli pepper.

I knew it was useless now but I tried to deny it. "Uh, no I didn't. I swear." I blustered, wiping my face with my hand. He laughed loudly.

"Yeah, sure, and I had my eyes shut. I saw the googly eyes you were giving each other. You like him, like like him, I mean." he taunted, grinning madly as he turned around to walk backwards and grin at me at the same time.

"Well, I uh...He's...nice." I spluttered, scratching the back of my neck nervously. It was something I had picked up from Uncle Paul.

Boo snorted. "Nice, right, okay. We both know that our Nix is freaking HOT! Now, I have my Tim, I only want my Tim but even I can appreciate some hotness when I see it." he laughed, giving me a look. I chuckled along, realising that Boo didn't really care whether I liked his family member or not. Actually, he seemed excited about that fact.

The rest of the morning passed in a blur. Boo had no problem relocating his locker without any help from me between classes and he was pretty good at successfully locating his next classroom as well. He was friendly and polite to everyone and seemed to constantly have a smile on his face. We talked between classes and during those rare times that the teacher let us talk whilst we worked. We got to know a lot about each other and I found myself becoming used to the idea of having this guy as one of my best friends. He was cool, and cute, and just a huge ball of energy and friendliness.

One thing he seemed not to be able to talk enough about was his boyfriend, Tim. I swear he never ran out of anything to say about him but I drew the line at bedroom talk and how much he loved his body. Didn't need to know that, thanks Boo. He told me more about his family and how his Guardian, Richard, was the new doctor at La Push Clinic. I believe Uncle Jacob said something about that. No doubt I'll be meeting him soon then. Apparently there was a little kid in their family too, Sam was his name. He was Richard's adopted son. There was a woman, Richard's sister. I think he said her name was Sarah, but I wasn't completely sure.

And then of course, there's Nix, or Phoenix as I've learned. No he was something else. Throughout the morning, I couldn't stop my mind from wandering to how deep and nice his voice sounded and how I just wanted to reach out and stroke his soft looking skin. I could still remember the feel of his arms around me and I had to say that there was very little that came remotely close to feeling as good as that did. Perhaps only Papa and Dad's cuddles could rival being in Nix's arms. But what the hell? Why am I thinking like this? It's weird. I had a feeling that I certainly haven't seen the last of Phoenix Ross. He made me feel things that I never have before...and I wasn't sure whether that was a good thing or not.
