CHAPTER 2

A NEW FRIENDSHIP?

Jake woke me up at 7:00 with a phone call. He said Esme and Carlisle Cullen invited us over for breakfast and to be there in a half an hour. So I changed into new shorts and a sleeveless shirt to be polite and put my sneakers on.

Jake and me were there, 7:30, on the dot. Nessie was waiting outside of the cabin where she and Bella and Edward lived. Once she saw us, she ran over to Jake, and he grabbed her and spun her in the air. She hugged me when he put her down to be nice. She touched my check to tell me something. It's hard, to really describe what it's like when she does that, it's as if she showing you what she's thinking. She even did it as a baby. Today, she told me she was happy I came over. I smiled and said thanks.

I decided earlier that day I wouldn't think about imprinting or that Adelaide girl while I was at the Cullen's because I knew Edward would read my mind. Usually, I'm okay with his mind reading and I know he doesn't tell anyone what I think, but if you're someone like Paul or Jared you have to be careful what you think.

As we walked in, Edward was waiting for us and I smelt eggs bacon, sausage and cinnamon rolls as soon as I took the first step in. "Morning guys." Edward greeted us. "'Morning." We replied back and he led us into the kitchen. And there were Esme and Dr. Carlisle getting everything ready for us. The Cullens can really cook. It's a shame they can't taste their masterpieces. It's like Homer being blind and not being able to read his poems (Not that I've ever read The Odyssey or anything by him)

As Jake and I walked into the kitchen Esme came over and gave us both a hug, Carlisle just said good morning because his hands were sticky with cinnamon roll icing. I sat down on a stool next to Jake and Esme put our plates in front of us. "Anything to drink guys?" Esme asked. "Have any OJ?" I asked. "Sure." Carlisle answered who just finished washing his hands. "I'll have some too." Jake said. "Of course." Esme replied.

Once you take a bite of their food, it's hard not to try to inhale it all at once. Especially when you haven't anything to eat since yesterday's lunch. But I tried my best not to. And when Dr. Carlisle gave us our orange juice, dang! Must've been freshly hand squeezed or something. After two eggs over easy, three cinnamon rolls, two sausages seven pieces of bacon and four glasses of orange juice later, I was stuffed, and so was Jake. So Jake decided to take Nessie for a ride on his motorcycle he built himself and I just went home.

I don't know why, but when I got home, I wanted to walk in the woods again. Everyone was still asleep, so I left on the note on the kitchen table and said I already ate and left. I don't know what I was expecting; maybe I would see that Adelaide girl again. Maybe I needed to sort some things out, or maybe I needed to burn off all that food.
But after a while, she was there, sitting on a log doing nothing. She looked over at me, and she wasn't startled at all.

"So, you come here often?" She greeted me.

"No, do you?"

"No, just wanted to have a morning walk after breakfast. See your wearing a shirt today."

"Yeah. Dressed nice 'cause I hoped I'd run into you."

"You're weird."

"I'll take that as a complement."

Today, she had on a zip-down grey sweatshirt with a black t-shirt underneath, jeans again, and chucks. She had her hair in a side ponytail with one strand of hair loose. "So, what'ca doing?" I asked her. "Sitting on a log? What are you doing? Prowling the woods looking for teenage girls to flirt with?" She asked. I could see she was over her bad attitude. Sort off. "Nah, just looking for teenage girls to ask what are they doing on my trail again." I answered. "Haha very funny."

Figuring I'd be there a while, I sat down, but on the other side of the log so she wouldn't get mad. "So, tell me the truth. Why did you really come here?"

"I don't know." She answered. "Yeah you do." I said. She gave a look as if she was to say, "I do but I'm not going to tell you so just stop asking" "OK." I said. Adelaide kicked some leaves with her foot, and then I remembered yesterday. How I chased her and she thought I was some pedophile. She gave that tough guy attitude so I would leave her alone and all that stuff. In a way, I was glad I ran into her.

"How long have you been in La Push?" I asked even though I knew she hated personal questions. "Not too long. Don't you think La Push is the most retarded name for a town?"

"Not as bad as Forks." I answered which was the town next over. She must've thought it was a joke, because she just started laughing. "I'm not kidding. It's about ten minutes away from here." Then she stopped. "For real?"

"For real." I said. "Jees, who the hell came up the names for these towns?"

There was an awkward silence. "Well, I guess I better get back." I said getting up from the log "Wait uh, Sam?"

"Seth."

"Seth, why did you really come here?"

"You don't tell me, I don't tell you." And we left it at that. As she turned to walk away, I thought of something. "Wait!" I shouted after her. She turned around with a puzzled look on her face. "What?"

"You know how to skateboard?"

"A little. Why? You trying to ask me out on some cheesy date?"

"No, nothing likes that. I have one at home and I don't want it so you can have it." She got this look on her face as if she really appreciated it. "Uh, sure."

"So meet back here at 3:30?" I asked. "Fine." Then she turned around and left.

I don't know if I was happy or not Adelaide agreed to take the skateboard or not, I was happy knowing it be off my hands, but at the same time I was giving it away to someone I hardly knew. But she already said yes and it would be rude to say she couldn't have it now.

And sure enough at 3:30, she was waiting for me and the skateboard at the log. So I handed it to her. "It looks brand new. Why do you have it if you never used it?" She asked. "I learned how to make skateboards on some website, so I decided to make one. It was a waste of time though."

"Do you want me to teach you how to skateboard?" She asked. "I don't know. Maybe another time." I answered. "Are you implying I'll have to see you after today?" I couldn't tell if she was joking or serious. "Only during visiting hours." I joked back hoping she was joking the first time. "That was so funny I almost forgot to laugh."

"Well, I guess I better go." I said turning around and started to walk away. But what Adelaide said next shocked me. It was something you wouldn't expect her to say. "See you here again tomorrow morning?" I was a little surprised because like I said, that's not something I thought she would say. But I didn't want her to think I was going to say no. So I said yes.

When I got home, Ma was making dinner, a little bit earlier then she usually does. Turned out Chief Swan had to go to the station for a little bit at 6:00, so there was a reason for it. While she cooked, I sat at the table, just drawing on a napkin with a pen because I got bored. "Seth please, you're wasting napkins." Ma said when she noticed. "Sorry I said and threw it away. "While you're up, can you get the plates and cups out?" She asked me. "Sure."

Just as I got the plates out, the phone rang. We have caller ID, so I answered it because it had Jake's cell number on it. "Hello?" I said when I picked up the phone.

"Hey, Seth, Sam wants to have a group meeting. So come to my house in five minutes."

"I can't. I'm about to have dinner."

"Fine, I'll tell Sam. But when you finish, come, and tell Leah."

"Alright, bye." I said and hung up. "Who was that, Seth?" Ma asked. "Just Jake. Me and Leah have to come over his house after dinner." "OK, but not too late."

"Yeah we know."

I wasn't in a hurry to finish dinner, and neither was Leah. I think we both had a feeling something wasn't right. I even asked to help with the dishes. "Don't bother. I still have time; I'll help your mother. You and Leah can go to Jake's house now." Cheif Swan said. Thanks, Cheif.

So about two minutes into walk, we both went into wolf form to save time.

"What does Sam want now?" I asked Leah.

"Who knows?"

By the time we got there, everyone else was already there. By everyone, I mean, Paul, Jared, Quil, Embry, Jacob, and Sam. They were all in their wolf form too.

"Took you guys long enough." Jared said when he saw us.

"We had to have dinner." I said.

"Yeah, you know how cranky Leah gets when it's feeding time." Embry butted in.

"Shut up." She growled.

"Enough. Sam said ending that. "There was a reason you all had to come here. Jacob saw something today. Tell them Jacob."

"Seth, I saw you a today. I was in the woods and I was near your house and you came out with some skateboard."

Oh no. This could not be good.

"You skateboard, Seth?" Quil asked.

"No. I just made one out of boredom."

"Anyway, I followed him, because you can't skateboard in the woods. And that's where he was bringing it. He gave it to some girl, they talked but I couldn't hear them. Then they just left."
Jake was watching me and Adelaide today I never noticed him or anything. How could he do this? He spied on me!

"Wait, is he talking about that girl from yesterday, Seth?" Leah asked.

"Yes." I slowly said knowing this could not end well.

"Who the hell is this girl anyway?" Jared asked.

"Some bimbo he ran into the other day in the woods that got lost. I had no firggen idea he gave her the skateboard." Leah answered.

"Shut up, Leah!"

"Why you even give her the skateboard?" Sam asked.

"I don't want it and she said she did."

"You hardly know this girl!"

"Forget about it, everyone! I'll probably never see her again."

"I still don't like this, Seth." Sam said.

"Everyone, relax! You're making a big deal out of nothing. I'll never see this girl again so forget about it! Just because I'm a part of the pack, doesn't mean you can pry into my life!" I shouted before running off. I ran even pasted our house to blow of the steam. Why would Jake spy on me like that? Then betray me? I usually wouldn't get upset, but right now, I was.

"Seth! Stop running!" I heard behind me. It was Leah. I wasn't in the mood for talking to anyone right now. "Go away!" I said, and it sounded nothing like me. "Seth, stop acting like a little kid. You know what Jake did was right."

"How was it right? He's my best friend, and then goes spying on me? I have the right to make new friends you know!"

"Come on, Seth, you're making a big deal out of nothing."

"Leah please, I just want to be left alone. Like I said back there anyway, I won't see her again.
"Alright. Come back home at least."

So I followed behind her. But as I went back into home form, I remembered, I said I meet Adelaide again tomorrow. Crap.

I know this isn't very good, I wrote this a year ago. But please read and review anyway, I wanna try out more Seth AUs.
