Chapter 7
Kai's point of view
The whole drive back I smiled like an idiot, my nightmare completely forgotten. I can't believe Embry asked me out!
"Whats got you so happy?" dad asks as I enter the living room.
"Nothing," I say falling onto the couch.
"Ya right," Emma says and I glare at her.
"Where's Seth and Leah?" I ask not seeing them.
"They had some things to do," dad says.
"Oh okay," I say.
"I have to go to the station but I'll be back before dinner," dad says standing up.
"Okay, be safe," I say and he nods. As soon as the door shuts Emma turns to me.
"What happened?" she asks.
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"Don't play dumb with me," she says.
"Why do you think anything happened?" I ask.
"You were smiling," she says.
"So everyone smiles," I say.
"Not like you were, that was a boy smile," she says and I sigh knowing she won't give up.
"I have a date," I say and she squeals.
"With who, Embry?" she asks.
"Yes," I say and she smiles.
"I knew you two would end up together!" she cheers.
"We're just going on one date," I say.
"Sure you are," she says and I shake my head at her.
"Think what you want," I say standing up.
"I know I'm right," she says.
"Whatever," I say and head upstairs. I go into my room and to my desk. I get my homework and start working.
It's five thirty and all my homework is done. Now I'm making dinner which is salmon, rice, and salad. I really like cooking and dad can't cook so I make all the meals. The phone rings and I answer it.
"Clearwater household," I say.
"Kai, it's dad," dad says.
"Hey daddy," I say.
"I just called to tell you I won't make it for dinner, I'm really busy," he says.
"Oh alright, be safe and eat something," I say.
"I will and stay in the house," he says.
"I know dad," I say.
"I'm sorry sweetheart," he says.
"It's fine, bye," I say.
"Bye," he says and I hang up. I sigh and continue to make the salad.
"Who was that?" Emma asks coming into the kitchen.
"Dad, he's not coming home anytime soon," I say and she nods.
"Why don't you invite Embry over?" she asks.
"What, why?" I ask.
"Well dad's not here so why not," she says.
"Because it might seem weird," I say.
"It's not," she says.
"Why don't you invite Brady, the guy you're always talking about," I say and she blushes. Yep Emma has a crush on a kid in her class Brady Fuller.
"Shut up," she says and I chuckle. She helps me with the food and then we eat at the table. We chat about going to school tomorrow and other things.
Around nine there's a knock at the door. I open the door and it revels Embry.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask.
"I needed to make sure you were okay," he says.
"I'm fine, why?" I ask.
"I just had a bad feeling," he says.
"Oh, well I'm perfectly fine," I say.
"Good," he says.
"Would you like to come in?" I ask.
"Your dad wouldn't like it," he says.
"He's not here," I say.
"Well I should get back to work," he says.
"Okay, be safe," I say and he smiles down at me.
"Always," he says and walks away. I watch him disappear into the forest and then shut the door.
"What did Romeo want?" Emma asks.
"He just wanted to check if I was okay," I say.
"Why, is he watching us?" she asks.
"He's not a stalker and he just had a bad feeling," I say.
"Whatever," she says.
"We should head to bed, we have school in the morning," I say and she groans.
"Fine," she says and we head upstairs.
Monday morning equals the worst morning ever! I hate Mondays, but it's one step closer to the weekend. I'm dressed in a black leather jacket, skinny jeans, black combat boots, a gray and white tank top with Britain's flag, and a black beanie. I also have on the charm bracelet my mother gave me when I was little.
"Kai hurry up the rain stopped!" Emma yells. It's been raining all morning and she hates to get wet.
"Coming!" I yell back. I grab my backpack and hurry downstairs. We head outside and she runs to the car. I lock up the house and then get in the car. As soon as I start the car it starts raining again.
"Ugh I hate the rain!" Emma whines and I chuckle at her.
"Bad choice to move here," I say.
"All I'm asking for is a few days of sun!" she says.
"Well keep on asking," I say and pull out of the drive way and to Emma's school.
After I drop Emma off I head to my school. When I arrive it's only sprinkling and I hurry inside. I head to my locker and get everything I need. I hear someone clear their throat and she Bella there.
"Yes?" I ask.
"I just wanted to say I'm really sorry about your uncle," she says and I feel a tug at my heart.
"It's fine, and thanks," I say with a small smile.
"Well I have to go but bye," she says and goes toward her first class with Edward trailing behind her. I close my locker and head to my first class, science, ugh!
