Kala's P.O.V
Chapter 10:
I quietly opened the front door, stepped inside and closed it again. I walked into the kitchen and seeing my note exactly where I had left it I guessed the guys weren't up yet.
I decided I wouldn't tell them about my morning stroll in the woods so I tore up the note and chucked it in the bin. They didn't need to know, Ryan would probably freak out and try to ban me from doing it again. Notice how I used the word try. He was acting way overprotective brother since… the accident.
I bit my lip to keep from crying. It was hard sometimes, to hold it together. I tried though even though I knew that the guys could probably tell I wasn't my usual self.
I sighed and pushed all those thoughts to the back of my mind and tried to decide what I would do. I know! I thought, I'll make some pancakes! Or is it too early? Oh well, if they don't wake up the more for me!
I grinned, I was a genius. Even though Tom might sometimes feel inclined to add the word evil before genius but hey, I was still a genius!
Evil or not, I still had the best evil genius laugh in the whole country.
I walked to the cupboards and began pulling out ingredients to make the pancakes.
An hour and a half later the pancake mix had finished settling and I was just pouring the first few on the pan when I heard the thump thump of someone getting up.
I glanced at my watch and saw that it was 7:30. I wondered who it was… the guys hardly ever woke up before nine. I was the only early bird in the family. Yeah, I'm weird.
I looked up from the pan to see Tom stumble still half asleep into the kitchen and sit down on a chair.
"Your up early." I stated going back to the pan to make sure I didn't burn the pancakes.
Tom grunted and mumbled in a sleepy voice, "Wanted to be the first one. Not like Friday."
I snorted, "Your not getting the first one. I am." He was so naive to think that I would give him the first pancake. I was still his sister after all.
Another grunt and Tom said, "Fine but I have dibs on second."
"Fine with me. You could get the maple syrup out if you want." I suggested.
I grabbed a plate from the cupboard while Tom got the nearly empty bottle of maple syrup, we needed to go shopping, and placed the first pancake on the plate.
Tom handed me the maple syrup and said, "We need to go shopping." Well wasn't someone a mind reader.
I nodded in agreement as I doused my pancake with maple syrup while at the same time pouring more of the mix into the pan. Yup, I'm talented.
I grabbed a fork out of the drawer and dug into my pancake. I nearly moaned, it tasted so good.
Still keeping an eye on the pan I ate the rest of my pancake and by the time I was done the next one was ready for Tom.
After Tom and I had eaten four pancakes each and Tom was on his fifth we had gone through half of the pancake mix, yeah only half. It was about 8:30 when I looked at the clock so I decided I would just leave the rest of the mix in the fridge for Seb and Ryan to cook when they got up.
"I'm done, I think I'll go get the shopping now, it's not raining yet." I told Tom.
"Okay, I might as well come." he answered with half a pancake shoved in his mouth.
"We will have to walk." I said as I covered the mix and placed it into the fridge.
"Yeah. Man I can't wait to get my license." He said dreamily.
I snorted, "The day that happens is the day everyone should fear."
He rolled his eyes as he quickly washed up the stuff we and used while I dried.
"I'll get the money while you get changed. Good? Good." I said without waiting for an answer.
Remember how I said I split my money up for different things? Yeah well, that includes the food money. Think I'm weird? Well at least this way we don't spend all our money on things we don't really need.
So I grabbed a hundred out of the food money jar and put it in my messenger bag while I waited for Tom to change out of his p.j's.
Five minutes later, after leaving a note about where we were going and where the pancake mix was, Tom and I were out the front door and headed to the small grocery store we saw when we were driving in the day we got here.
It was about a five minute walk from our house which was good cause on the way home we would be carrying bags full of food that tend to get heavy.
"So when did you get up?" Tom asked me after a minute of walking in silence.
I hesitated for a minute, should I tell him about the Chocolate? "Umm pretty early I guess." I said.
Tom sighed and said, "You didn't go back to sleep did you?"
"… No." I answered after a minute, "I didn't want to have the nightmare again." I told him quietly.
Tom put his arm around me and gave me a squeeze, "Remember you can talk about it whenever you want." He said.
I just nodded and we reached the store.
"Right, you get the fruits and vegetables and I'll get the rest. Okay? Okay." I asked without waiting for an answer once again as we walked inside.
I was actually a bit surprised the store was open at 8:30 in the morning. I shrugged to myself, I supposed there wasn't much else to do but get up so early when it rained more than half the time.
Luckily it hadn't started raining this morning while we were walking here. I frowned to myself; I should have thought to bring an umbrella so the food didn't get wet on the walk back if it rained.
There was an older lady at the front desk reading a book. She smiled at me when she saw me so I smiled warmly back at her. That was another good thing about small towns; everyone seemed to be so nice and accepting.
Even though the store was only small Tom and I still managed to find all the things we would need to last us the week.
When we went up to pay for them the lady, who had put her book away, smiled at us again and asked in a kind, maternal sort of voice, "New here kids?"
We nodded, "Yeah we got here on Friday." Tom said.
She nodded and said, "Yes I did see a moving van leaving the Reservation. I'm Mrs Chaka by the way."
"I'm Kala and this is Tom." I introduced us.
"Just you and your parents move here then?" She asked as she placed our food into bags.
In the corner of my eye I saw Tom's fists clench and unclench. He did that when he was upset or nervous.
"Umm actually it's just us and our two brothers." Tom said a little awkwardly.
I thought Mrs Chaka was about to ask us some questions but she seemed to think better of it and instead asked, "Oh, and are you attending La Push or Forks High School?"
"La Push." I answered, glad to be moving away from the other subject.
"Well that's nice, it's been a while since we have had some new kids attend there. Your making friends yes?"
We nodded as she passed us our bags now full of shopping.
"Good, good, well I'll probably see you kids around again soon. Goodbye." Mrs Chaka waved to us as we left and we waved back.
"She was nice." I said as we walked back home.
"Yeah." Was all Tom said.
By the time we had gotten back home it was nearly nine o'clock and Seb and Ryan were both, finally, up.
"Thanks for leaving us some pancake mix Kal.," said Ryan in a sleepy voice as he poured some mix into the pan.
"Get the shopping?" Seb asked.
"Yup, the lady was nice. Mrs Chaka." I answered as I began packing the food away in the cupboards.
"Oh by the way guys Leah invited us all over to our house today at ten so look good and act nice!" Ryan said in one breath.
I was speechless there were about a billion emotions running through me right now. First I felt like I was flying I was so happy; I was going to see Seth again!
Then I remembered how I fell asleep on him last night and felt horrified, what if he doesn't want to see me! What if he thinks I'm some sort of freak for falling asleep on his shoulder!
Then I went on a high again when I remembered what he said last night when I asked him if we would see him tomorrow. He had told me he hoped so. I grinned at the thought.
"I knew you two would plan something!" Seb exclaimed.
"I'm cool with that I suppose, but only as long as you and Leah don't start making out in the middle of their kitchen or something." Tom said to Ryan and dodged his punch.
"Yeah I'm alright with it I guess." Seb said.
"Well we already know that Kala is fine with it. Her and Seth were getting along really well last night. Weren't you Kala?" Tom smirked at me and this time didn't manage to dodge the punch I aimed at his stomach.
"Ow. What did I do?" he whined.
"Shut up Tom." Was all I said.
He shrugged and finished putting the last of the stuff away in the cupboards.
"Well we only have an hour till we have to go so I'm going to go have a shower. You lot make sure you clean up after you." I ordered them and ran upstairs without waiting for a reply.
