Chapter Two

Seth POV

He Stole My Food

Oh my god! Actually, I only liked lunch. I was the only one from the pack in my year so I had no friends that I was allowed to fraternize with. Collin and Brady were in the year under me.

The bell for lunch finally went and I walked as fast as possible without drawing unwanted attention to myself. I went to my locker and ditched all of my school stuff. I literally ran to the cafeteria and queued up for food.

I piled my tray sky high and went over to the packs designated table. Everyone in La Push High avoided us and no one dared to take our spot. Paul, Jared and Leah soon joined me with their food. We nodded at each other. None of could speak, we already had our mouths stuffed with food.

Jake, Embry and Quil joined us as well and started eating too. Collin and Brady walked in and joined id, however, instead of getting their own food, they picked food off of our plates.

I though of this as very unfair. I hit Collin's hand away as he reached for my hotdog. Eww, not in that gross creepy sense, I meant the food.

"What are you all doing after school?" Jake asked everyone

Jared, Paul and Leah had all finished eating by now.

"Patrol," Paul said grimly. He obviously was not happy about it. Paul reached across the table and stole some of my chips. I pouted.

"Hey!" Leah yelled. "Don't steal my brother's food."

Leah punched Paul in the arm and they both started shaking. Jake and Jared both got up quickly and dragged Leah and Paul into the forest quickly before they phased and exposed us all.

Everyone at our table fell silent. By now we'd all finished eating and had nothing to distract us.

Embry's phone suddenly went off with a horrible; wait no, the horrible Barbie girl song. We all looked at him expectantly. Embry stood up and walked off getting out his phone. As he left the cafeteria he answered the phone

"So, bananas or potatoes?" I asked to break the silence that was so annoying me.

"Bananas!" Collin and Brady yelled in unison

The rest of the pack at the table (Quil, and I) looked at each other

"POTATOES!" our shout was much louder and caused the entire cafeteria to stop what they were doing and look our way. I went bright red at the attention, but Quil soaked it u and stood on the table

"Thank you for being here today," he told all of the students. "You may now resume the consumption of your fine meals."

Quil jumped off the table looking positively chuffed with himself. I shook my head sadly. Just then the bell went, signaling the final session of the day. I groaned, and got up slowly. I started off to my next class and waved goodbye to the pack. Jake, Leah, Paul and Jared had just gotten back. I silently laughed, Hahaha, they missed the majority of lunch. Poor them. They all sighed in sync and went off to their respective classes.

I now had Society and Environment. I was thankful that it as my last session of the day. It meant that once the bell went I could go home and speak.

As I entered my Society and Environment class the teacher's evil eye sought me out.

"Seth Clearwater!" the teacher barked. "Go to the principal's office now."

I sighed and trudged off out of the classroom towards the principal's office. Outside the door stood, Embry, Leah, Jared and Paul.

"Do you know why the hell we're here?" Paul growled at me as I approached.

I shook my head, no

"Who was on the phone at lunch?" I asked Embry. He grinned hugely

"It was my cousin Alana from Australia. Her friend won a prize in a competition and a whole group of her friends are now coming over with all expenses paid and they'll be staying in La Push. How cool is that?" I don't think I had never heard Embry so excited before

"Awesome," I said and hi-fived Embry

"Yay," said Paul sarcastically. "Is there more Embry?"

"Also," Embry continued oblivious to Paul's sourness. "Because two of her friends weren't covered by the prize, the Elders are going to pay for their airfare and all their shopping and stuff will be paid by the prize."

"Righteous," I said just as the principal's door opened.

"All of you can come in now," the principal said. We looked at each other nervously as we entered. Paul just looked ready to kill, or maybe that was normal for him

"You can all sit down," the principal said gesturing to the chairs in front of her desk. We all sat down, apart from Paul. 'Mr Meraz," the principal snapped. "Sit down please."

And man did the principal sound annoyed. Being around Paul did that to you.

"I think I'll stand, thanks," Paul told the principal.

Paul stood behind us with his legs braced and arms crossed.

"Continue," he told the principal with a nod of his head

The principal sighed in defeat.

"Tomorrow, seven students will be arriving from Australia as part of a prize from a national competition. You five have been chosen to show them around the school next term. Over the holidays you need to get to know them so that they trust you enough to ask for help. Most of these students are girls, so I don't want any funny business from any of you boys."

The last comment seemed to be directed at Paul. He had a little bit of a reputation as a ladies man around La Push. Paul didn't seem to be paying any attention and was looking out of the window.

"Sam's here," he announced

We all fell silent

"I asked Mr Uley to help you get to know the Australian students and to help stop you from ruining their experience in La Push," the principal said

Again she sounded like she was insulting Paul again. Paul let out a little growl and Embry and Jared threw him a warning glance. We all turned to the door as we heard footsteps in the hallway. The door opened suddenly and without warning and Sam entered.

Sam walked in and stood next to Paul.

"Do they know?" he asked the principal

"Yes," she said. "Of course."

I was sure that she was flirting with Sam. If truth be told it was very scary.

"You lot can come with me now," Sam said and left the office. There was the slight undercurrent of the alpha tone in his voice. We all exited the office and followed Sam. From the corner of my eye I saw Paul wave at the principal cheekily.

I slowly remembered something that the principal had said. "Today's the last day of term," I muttered in absolute wonder.

"No shit doofus," Paul said behind me

Paul walked past me out into the car park where Sam was.

"You don't have to take his shit Seth," Leah said coming up next to me

I shrugged and attempted to ignore her. Leah huffed and walked up ahead to join Paul, Jared and Sam. Embry took Leah's place next to me.

"She's right," was all he said as we reached the group.

Once Sam was sure we were all listening he spoke.

"If anyone imprints on a girl or a boy, you have to tell me straight away. Do you all understand?" Sam asked. Well actually ordered to have us agree

We all nodded

"Ok, good, great," Sam said. "You can all go home now."

Sam got in his truck and drove off

"This is shit," Paul yelled and stalked off into the forest

We all looked at each other and shrugged before going off home.

When Leah and I got home Mum was in the kitchen baking away. I grinned. FREE food, I rejoiced silently. I reached out to snag a muffin, but my Mum beat me and hit my hand with a spatula. I pouted at her.

"They're not for you Seth," she said. "They're for the girls coming tomorrow. We're having a welcoming party for them."

I sighed

"Pity."

-Later that Night-

As I lay in bed I thought about how tomorrow could turn out. The pack had a bet going that at least one of us would imprint. You see, none of u had any imprints, Sam had briefly dated my cousin Emily but they'd quickly broken up. My bet was on Sam; he was alpha and therefore should be the one to imprint first. I couldn't be bothered to stay awake anymore, so I let sleep consume me.

That night I dreamt about a faceless girl becoming my world and accepting me for who I am.
