Kala's P.O.V

Chapter 26:

The rest of the week went by pretty fast. We went to school, I hung out with Seth, I hung out with Katie and asked Ben about him liking Katie. It took me a while but I finally got it out of him. Apparently he's liked her since kindergarten. After learning that I commenced, with the help of Ash and Britt, operation, get-Ben-and-Katie-together.

I also decided that Seb's new friend Pete, the one that was in my Calculus class with me, was really annoying. When I told Seth this he told me he could always sit outside his house and howl all night. After careful deliberation I agreed to this idea.

The next morning Pete came into class with huge bags under his eyes and he couldn't seem to keep his eyes opened. Huh, I wonder why. Mwahahahahaha!

So when Saturday finally came around I was pretty happy. I'd finished all my homework on Friday, thank God, so I had a free weekend to spend at the beach and with Seth.

I woke up early on Saturday so I could go to the shop early and get the food we would need for the week. After a quick breakfast I was just about to close the front door behind me when I heard, "Kal? What are you doing?"

I looked behind me to see Ryan coming down the stairs sleepy eyed and still in his pajamas.

"I'm going to get the groceries Ry, I'll be ten minutes." I told him.

"I'll come with you. I'll drive." He said looking a little more awake now.

"We can just walk there. Save the planet." Oh yeah, I was a greenie. Don't judge me!

"Driving would be faster though! And you won't have to carry all the bags back." He protested.

I rolled my eyes and gave in, "Fine but hurry up!" Ryan was always able to convince people to see his way. It was a gift. A really annoying gift.

Five minutes later we were getting out of the car in front of Mrs Chaka's store.

"We should have just walked." I grumbled as we walked inside.

Ryan just shrugged with his, I-got-my-way-and-you-didn't grin.

"So what do we need?" Ryan asked.

I pulled the list that I made earlier out of my pocket and scanned down it quickly.

"Basically everything, you guys eat way too much food." I frowned mockingly at him.

"Hey! You eat just as much as we do!" I laughed and shrugged.

"So I'll do fruit and veg?" He asked and I nodded. I ripped the top half of the list off, the part with all the fruit and veg we needed on it and gave it to him.

"Always so organized." He mumbled as he walked away.

I stuck my tongue out at him behind his back and walked towards the dairy.

Ten minutes later we met up at the checkout and Mrs Chaka was ringing our stuff up.

"So how have you liked your first week in La Push kids?" she asked us.

"Its been great!" I said.

"Yeah, really good." Ryan agreed.

"That's good, I'm glad your settling in well." She smiled at us kindly.

I smiled back as I gave her the money for our food.

"Do you kids have jobs? I'm sure you will be looking for some soon." She asked.

I glanced at Ryan, actually we had been thinking about where we would get jobs, our money wouldn't last forever.

"Yeah we do need jobs actually. Do you know any places that are hiring?" Ryan asked her.

Nodding Mrs Chaka said, "Yes, I would be happy to hire you, if you want that is. Its always good to have a few extra hands around."

"Really? You would take all four of us?" I asked excitedly.

She smiled, "Of course sweetheart."

I started bouncing on my toes in excitement, "Oooo! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"Yes, thanks heaps Mrs Chaka, this'll be so good." Ryan said grinning.

"No problem kids, when did you want to start?" she asked.

I shrugged, it didn't matter, "Whatever is best for you, we don't mind."

"Well, how about two of you come Tuesday afternoon after school? From four till eight? That sound good? And then the other two could come on Wednesday, same times. Weekends free."

"That's great Mrs Chaka, this is so great. Thank you so much! We'll be there, all of us. Well two of us and then the other two the day after, but I mean we will all be happy to. Thank you! We could work on the weekends if you wanted us to of course, whenever you need us." I rambled on.

Mrs Chaka laughed and said, "No, no, I won't take your weekends away from you. I'm glad I could help you. Now how much should I pay you? Hmmm… Is seven dollars an hour enough? That would be… twenty eight dollars for a days work. Is that alright with you?"

I gaped at how much money we would get. Twenty eight dollars? That was a lot of money for a small town shop like this one.

"O-oh, no, we don't need that much, really. We would do with four dollars an hour." Ryan stuttered, just as surprised as me.

But Mrs Chaka shook her head, "No, no, seven an hour is perfect. Now, you'll start on Tuesday? Excellent! I'll see you kids there! Four o'clock!"

"Th-thank you." Ryan and I both stuttered as Mrs Chaka ushered us out, groceries in hands.

Once the bags were in the boot of the car and Ryan and I had both gotten in the front I let out a sigh.

"How good is a small town? Seven dollars an hour? For such a small shop… She is so nice! I love her!" I exclaimed loudly.

Ryan laughed but nodded in agreement, "She was so great to give us all jobs. Well at least this means I don't have to go job hunting now."

"What time is it?" I asked suddenly. With the whole job negotiation thing I had completely forgotten the time.

Ryan checked his watch and said, "Nine."

"Nine! I told Seth I would meet him at the beach at nine! Drive faster Ryan!" I cried.

Crud! I was going to be late! Well we would all be late because the guys were coming too but I didn't want to be late to see Seth! I still needed to get changed and put all the food away!

"I'm driving! I'm driving! Look! We're here." Ryan said annoyed.

I jumped out of the car and scooped most of the bags into my arms. I ran to the front door and opened it with my foot. Yeah, my foot. I'm just skilled that way.

"Seb! Tom! Wake up! It's nine! We told Seth we would be at the beach at nine! We are late! Get up! NOW!" I yelled up the stairs as I rushed into the kitchen and began hurriedly unpacking everything.

Why the massive freak-out you ask? Well I'm sort of OCD about being late. It annoys me, a lot. I just hate being late and I hate it when other people are late. It just annoys me!

And so while I was unpacking all our food and putting it away at the speed of light there were thumps and not-so-nice-words coming from upstairs as Tom and Seb woke up.

"LANGUAGE!" I yelled again as I heard a particularly bad one. Yeah, I was OCD about language too. Call me weird, whatever.

"Why didn't you wake us up earlier Kal? Jeez." Tom said blearily as he walked into the kitchen, wet suit on, towel in hand. He still looked half asleep.

"Because," I said as I said as I finished putting the last of the groceries away in their respective areas, "Ryan and I were busy getting food. Oh yeah, and we all have jobs. You and I start on Tuesday, four till eight. Mrs Chaka's store."

Tom looked up from rubbing sleep out of his eyes, "Huh?"

"Ask Ryan." I told him as I ran upstairs to get changed, "And could you put my board in the truck too please? Thanks!" I called down to him without waiting for an answer.

"We're late, we're late, for a very important date." I muttered as I quickly pulled my wetsuit on and grabbed a towel.

I ran down the stairs, nearly tripping on the last one.

I grabbed the house keys, put my flip-flops on and ran outside, closing the front door behind me.

My three brothers were all waiting in the truck, our boards already strapped on top.

"What took you so long Kal? Doing your hair and makeup for Sethy boy?" Seb joked as I let out a breath and closed the door.

I glared at him and said, "You know I don't wear makeup Seb, its-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, its stupid and clogs up your pores." Seb interrupted me, reciting my makeup mantra.

"It is." I insisted and they all just nodded, not really listening as Ryan turned the radio on. I don't know why he bothered, the beach wasn't even a minutes drive from our house.

"Hey, why aren't we walking to the beach?" I asked.

"Because Ryan was lazy and said we were taking the truck." Tom said.

I frowned at the back of Ryan's head, "You shouldn't be so lazy Ry."

"You're the one who wanted to get to the beach fast. This way is faster." He reasoned and I huffed in annoyance. Stupid logic.

"We're here anyway so it doesn't matter." Seb said as we pulled up at the beach.

"Yay!" I cried and hopped out of the car and started untying the boards.

"Your board's on the bottom Kal, you'll have to wait for us to get ours anyway." Tom told me as he jumped out of the front seat.

"So hurry up and grab 'em!" I told him.

Once we all had our boards I speed walked over to the sand, stepped out of my shoes and picked them up.

"There they are!" Tom said pointing towards the left of me.

And he was right, Seth, Jake, Embry, Quil and Leah were all walking towards us but my eyes were only on Seth.

He had no shirt on again. I liked that. A lot.

With a big grin on my face I walked up to Seth and kissed him. I had to go up on my toes to do so, him being so tall and all.

"Hey." I grinned at him.

"Hey, you going surfing?" He asked and I nodded as they led us back to all their stuff.

"Are you?" I asked but he shook his head.

"Nah, I'll just watch you, and swim around and stuff."

"Okay."

I dumped my shoes and towel and after giving Seth a quick peck on the cheek I ran down to the water, board in hand.

As soon as my feet hit the water I smiled. I loved the water, it was so… just, awesome. And surfing was just so great. Apart from art, it was my favorite hobby.

The waves looked pretty good here too. Not too crazy but not too calm as well. Perfect.

I paddled out and sat just sat on my board for a minute, surveying the scene before me. It was beautiful, the cliffs, the forest, the grey clouds, the grey-blue sea. I sighed contently, I wanted to freeze this moment right here, me in the water, with my brothers, Seth, the other guys and Leah close by. Perfect.

"Okay La Push, lets see what kinds of waves you have." I said, swirling my hands around in the water.

I saw the beginnings of a great wave and grinned. Yep. Perfect.
