Chapter 2
"Yo, Jake, wanna come to the La Push beach with us this Saturday?" Quil, Embry, and I am sitting in the kitchen, and cleaning out my refrigerator, failing at doing our homework.
"Who else is going?" I asked Quil, with my mouth half full of chips.
"Dunno. Embry, anyone else coming?" Quil asked, with his mouth full of pickles.
"I hear a bunch of kids from the Forks high school are gonna be there. And some other's from the Quileute group, ya know, like Sam and Paul may go. Wha'da you say Jake?" Embry was unable to stuff all of his sandwich in his mouth, and I turned away chuckling, as a piece fell out of his mouth.
"Sure, why not." I said, shrugging.
"Oh, Quil, Jake, you hear about that new girl in the high school? What's her face… Isabella Swan?"
"Oh, yeah, that's Charlie Swan's daughter, right? Ya know, the cop?"
"Yeah, Quil, we know him."
"Isn't your dad friends with him, Jake?"
"Mmhmm. What y'all laughing at?"
"Dude, please do us all a favor and don't talk with food in your mouth." I looked down at the table, and realized I had sputtered chips from my mouth across the table.
"Sorry." They laughed more as I wiped it off with my sleeve.
"Hey, it's your table."
"Technically Quil, it's his dad's."
"True."
"Oh shut it. C'mon, lets get some of this work done."
"Jakes right. Shut up Quil!" Quil's mouth opened in shock, before throwing half a pickle at Embry.
"I was not the one talking, Embry!" Great, now they are gonna make a mess.
"Oh, you are so gonna pay for that Quil!" and Embry threw a piece of bread at Quil.
"Guys, stop!"
"What's going on in here?"
"Oh! Hi Mr. Black!" I rolled my eyes, as Quil and Embry tried to straighten up their mess while my father wheeled around the kitchen.
"Clean it up, and do your homework." Although he spoke strictly, he gave a wink before leaving the kitchen.
"Yes Mr. Black."
"Anyway. To the beach. Oh, and about this Isabella Swan… I hear from a few of the Forks high school kids that she is cute. Wha'dya say Jakey?" I elbowed Embry in the ribs before returning my attention to my blank math worksheet, with a smile on my face.
"Well, we'll see."
"So your in?"
"Definitely." And although we were doing our math homework, my mind was elsewhere.
