Kala's P.O.V

Chapter 25:

When I woke up the next morning I was surprised to see that Tom's bed was empty. I looked at my alarm clock and said "Crap." It was 8:00. I had five minutes to get ready before we had to leave.

You may ask the question, if I have an alarm clock, why didn't I set it? Well because I don't usually need to set it. Usually I just wake up early. Today however, was clearly different.

I jumped out of bed and ran to my closet. I pulled out the first clothes I saw, okay you little girly-girls reading this who just gasped in horror, what would you do if you only had five minutes to get ready for school. Yeah. That's what I thought.

So I pulled out the first clothes I saw and chucked them on without even bothering to see what they were.

I ran into the bathroom, quickly cleaned my teeth and tied my hair up in a pony tail.

Then I ran downstairs, nearly tripping over in my haste. I skidded into the kitchen to see all three of my butt-headed brothers standing there, smirks on their faces, waiting for me.

I glared at them as I grabbed one of the pieces of toast that was on a plate smothered in strawberry jam.

"Have a good sleep Kal?" Seb asked, trying and failing to keep the evil grin off his face.

I continued to glare at them as I inhaled my toast.

Ryan looked at his watch and said with the smuggest look on his face that it made me want to punch him, "Time to go. You'll have to finish that in the car."

We filed out the door, half of my toast sticking out of my mouth, and into the truck.

The ride to school was silent but I could feel the smugness rolling off them and it annoyed me to no end.

Why were they all acting so smug you ask? Because for years I have always teased and patronized them for always being late and never getting up on time. I suppose this was karma getting back at me now.

Well karma can suck my invisible, furry, balls.

We had just pulled up at the school and I was about ready to kick all of them in the shins when we got out of the car and went to get our bags from the back.

Then I remembered, horrified, the one thing I hadn't done this morning in my rush to get ready. My school bag. I'd left it sitting at the end of my bed.

I think the word to sum up this situation was crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.

I would never hear the end of this.

But I needed my bag, it had all my books and pens and everything in it.

So, with the little amount of dignity that I had left, which let me tell you was very little, I turned to Ryan and said, "I forgot my bag."

He just stared at me for a moment and then burst out laughing. Typical.

Tom and Seb, having heard me, also burst out laughing. I narrowed my eyes at them and waited for them to finish.

Finally, Ryan looked at me and said, "What do you want me to do about it?"

I gaped at him. What did I want him to do about it? I wanted him to drive me back so I could go get it! When I told him this he got a stupid expression on his face and it was obvious he was annoyed at himself for not seeing the obvious.

"Right." He said.

"We'll see you guys at lunch." I told Seb and Tom as I hopped back into the truck.

"Are you sure you can remember where the cafeteria is Kala? Did you need help?" Seb asked.

It was a good thing I was inside the truck all ready or I would have definitely punched him.

This caused Tom and Ryan to start laughing again so I lost my temper and growled at Ryan, "Ryan, get in the truck before I murder you!"

He was in the truck with the engine on faster than you could say boof-head brothers.

Ryan drove as fast as he could and still be safe, that's my brother, always the cautious one, to our house.

I ran in after grabbing the keys from him and upstairs to my room. I yanked my bag up off the floor and ran back downstairs.

Once I was back in the truck Ryan started it up and we were once again on our way to school for the second time that day.

"I'm gonna have to teach you to drive." Ryan muttered as we pulled up at school.

"I know." I answered as I hopped out.

"Thanks!" I called back to him as I ran to my English class, praying that I wouldn't be late.

The bell rang just as I opened the door. I breathed a sigh of relief. Wouldn't want to get a detention on my second day now would I?

I looked around and spotted Jake in the back row and joined him in the empty seat next to him.

I glanced at him sheepishly, I could feel my face heating up from the embarrassment I was feeling. The last time I had seen Jacob was when I had been screaming at him to get out of my house. Oops.

Jacob looked at me warily and I felt even worse.

I took a deep breath before I began my speech, "Jake I am so sorry that I screamed at you and Embry and Quil, I don't know why I was so angry, well I guess I do but I didn't mean to be. Well no that's not true either cause at the time I did but now I don't, I feel so bad and I can't believe I did that, but I talked to Seth last night and I understand everything now and I know about everything and I can't believe what I did to him and I hate myself for it and I was so horrible to you guys and… and… I'm sorry." I said in a rush and at the end I took a deep breath to calm myself.

Jake smiled at me and said, "It's okay Kala, we get why you reacted like that, I mean its not every day you find out that werewolves and vampires are real and that you have an actual soul-mate is it? Anyway we all knew you would come around eventually. They always do."

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him, "Thanks for accepting my ridiculously long apology Jake."

He grinned at me, "No probs. But we should probably do some work now cause our teacher is giving us the evil eye."

I looked up and saw that our teacher really was giving us the evil eye so I bent my head down and copied what was on the board.

The first half of the day went on forever, probably because I couldn't stop thinking of how at lunch I would get to see Seth. Which annoyed me to no end because I really didn't want to be one of those girls who would 'die' if their boyfriend left them.

Not that I thought Seth would leave me, I mean after explaining the whole imprinting thing I think it was pretty certain that we would be stuck with each other for life. Of course I wasn't complaining about that.

Yeah I'm not getting anywhere with this rambling off in my head so I'll just stop. Now.

Anyway. I walked with Katie into the cafeteria thinking about Seth and only half listening to what she was saying, something about green monkeys.

Then I realized that Seth and the others didn't sit with Katie and my other friends and there was no way I was chosing between them. I mean I loved Seth but I didn't want to lose my new friends. They were cool!

I turned to Katie and said, "Hey, I'll be back in a minute, I just have to talk to Embry and Quil for a sec."

She got a confused look on her face but smiled and said, "Sure, I'll save you a seat!"

I smiled at her and made my way over to where all the guys were already sitting. When I got to the table I stopped to admire Seth for a minute before turning my attention to Embry and Quil. I still had to apologize to them.

I took a deep breath and began my apology, "Embry, Quil I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for yelling at you and I feel so horrible for doing it. I was just freaking out and I took it out on you just as much as Seth and I already apologized to Seth and Jake and I had to say sorry to you guys so I'm sorry."

At the end of my speech I saw out of the corner of my eye Tom and Seb roll their eyes and Ryan shake his head. I gave them a quick glare before turning back to Embry and Quil to wait for their response.

"Kala, it's fine, don't worry about it." Embry said grinning at me.

"Yeah, I mean the whole thing is a lot to take in. I do hope that Clair takes it better when I tell her but really, its fine." Quil added.

I let out the breath I had been holding and grinned at them, "Thanks guys. I just felt so bad and-"

"We get it Kala. Your sorry. Now are you gonna sit down or stand there all lunch?" Seb interrupted me.

I shook my head at this and said, "I'm going to sit with Katie and the others, I like them, they're cool." I turned to Seth, "If that's alright with you? I mean it's not that I don't want to sit with you Seth, cause I do but I don't want to lose the friends I have."

Seth shook his head and said, "I can sit with you, I'm pretty sure these guys can live without me for a few minutes."

The guys rolled their eyes and I grinned, "And if they can't then they can just deal with it."

"Yup." We both laughed and he stood up, lunch tray in hand.

"It'll be alright with them for me to sit with you right?" Seth asked me as I got a lunch tray and joined the line.

I shrugged, "Sure, I mean, I don't think they'll have a problem with it. Hope not."

"Yeah, I just didn't want to have to wait till PE to talk to you." He said smiling down at me.

I grinned and looked up at him, "Talk about what?"

He shrugged, "Anything, clouds, food, snakes, whatever."

I laughed, "Clouds? Snakes?"

He just grinned at me. By now we had reached the table.

"Is it alright if Seth sits here as well? I mean, if not its okay I guess, I just… wanted to sit with you guys too…"

"Course it is! Sit down!" Ash said and the others nodded.

We sat down and I started stuffing my chicken 'surprise' into my mouth.

"So are you two together? That was quick, how did you meet? It's only been like what? A few days? That was really quick. Well I think you look cute together, you fit well. I can totally see you getting married. Oooooo! Can I design your wedding dress Kal? I love designing clothes! Yeah! It'll be white of course and it'll have a long train at the back. What flowers do you want? Hmm… maybe blue ones? To match your eyes, but what blue flowers are there? I'll have to look it up. Oooo! Can I be a bridesmaid? That would be awesome! I've never been a bridesmaid before! This is so great! I'm so excited!"

That was Katie if you haven't already guessed.

Britt shook her head and said, "Katie! They aren't getting married! You don't need to be planning their wedding. Calm down."

I nodded my head in agreement. My mouth was still too full with food to say anything.

"Yeah, calm down Katie. Seriously. Your so weird." Ben shook his head but he was the way he was looking at her and smiling showed he was joking.

Okay hold up, I just had a light-bulb moment. Ben likes Katie! The way he's looking at her, it reminds me so much of how my Dad used to look at my Mom…

I looked at Seth and he met my eyes. Oh man I loved those eyes. Like chocolate, the food chocolate I mean, not the wolf Chocolate. And his hair… I just wanted to run my hands through it right now. My fingers twitched but I held them back. Not now Kala. Later. I told myself.

"But you guys are together right?" Katie asked, breaking me out of my day-dream.

"Yup." Seth answered before I could, wrapping his warm arm around me.

There was a chorus of 'Awwww's from the girls and I felt my face turn red. On the inside I was glad that my new friends let Seth sit here too. I really did like them all and I didn't want to have to chose between them and Seth cause lets face it, I would have chosen Seth.

It was hard to believe we hadn't even been here a week yet and I already had new friends that I loved and they all felt like the old friends that you've known for years.

I smiled a little to myself as I thought of how great these past few days have been. Yeah there was a little miss-hap with the whole Seth-being-a-werewolf thing but other than that everything had been great.

I sighed happily to myself and leaned into Seth's arm. This really was a fresh start.
