Chapter Two: Explanations
I was moving into the aisle that had some snacks when I heard two teenage girls gossiping.
“I can’t believe what has happened to those sweet boys we used to know at school,” one of them said, saddened.
“I know, Quil, Embry and Jacob used to be such good kids and now look what’s happened to them,” the second girl said.
Did those girls just say Jacob?
The first girl agreed. “Especially Jacob, he used to be such a good kid until he started getting involved with Sam Uley’s gang.”
WHAT! My baby brother was in a gang! What has been going on since I left La Push.
“Well, it was only a matter of time before Jacob joined. I mean, Quil and Embry are his best friends, I guess Jacob didn’t want to be without them.”
“Not to mention who else is in that little gang, Paul Lahote and Jared Cameron. Paul, it’s understandable because he’s always so angry, but Jared? He already had such an amazing life, he was captain of our football team and he gave it up just to join that freaky group.”
“Yes, Paul has quite the temper, it’s most likely the reason Jacob left in the first place, to avoid them. Not to mention Jacob and those boys are on steroids. The muscles they got during the past year and their recent growth spurt were very scary; I almost didn’t recognize him when I saw him walking around with Embry. Jacob was well over six foot at the time and would have given a professional wrestler a huge smackdown in the cage.”
Wait a second, was that another reason Jacob left? Because of this Paul guy? So, Jacob had wanted to leave the gang so he ran away! What is happening to La Push?! Now I really didn’t like this Paul person and I didn’t even know who he was.
“Let’s not forget poor Leah, I think she’s in that gang too. She chopped off all her hair and is now five-ten. She probably did those steroids too.”
“Yes, after Sam, her almost fiance dumped her for her cousin, why would she join his gang? Especially after all that.”
