Chapter 18: The Relatives
Jake awoke early the next morning, making a mental note that his grandparents were arriving that evening. He went down the stairs for breakfast, noticing that his dad's car was gone.
"Hey, mom," He greeted, walking into the kitchen.
"Your father has a…business meeting." Mei informed him, though Jake really knew that it meant, 'He had a Huntsclan meeting'. He rolled his eyes, grabbing his backpack and heading out the door.
"Where are you going?" Mei asked.
"Uh, school?" Jake said, wondering if maybe he had mistaken this day and it was really Saturday.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, your grandfather wanted you to stop by and see him on Draco Isle." She said dismissively.
"Huh? You're actually letting me skip school?" Jake said in confusion.
Mei frowned. "Well, I didn't want to, but you know how…eccentric your grandfather can be."
Jake held in a smile at seeing his grandpa yelling over the phone in Chinese. He usually got what he wanted just so he would shut up.
"Mom, how am I supposed to get there? Like I can remember all those buttons…" Jake reminded her.
"That's why Fu Dog is going with you, you can pick him up at the shop," Mei said. Jake nodded, opening the door.
"And Jake, you know your other grandparents are coming tonight, so be back early." Mei said. Jake frowned as he left the house.
Sorry for the late update, and the shortness, but I'm at school and the bells about to ring…REVIEW!
