Brooke tried to hide a smirk as Dad scolded Jacob, secretly wondering what he was trying to do.  She purposefully kept her eyes toward the front, lest Kayla be drawn to look if she glanced back herself.  She knew by the tone in Dad's voice that it hadn't been good, and could guess what it involved, and wondered how the two of them could be so careless and immature.  She would let Dad handle them though, she'd only get yelled at by them if she got involved, and she didn't want to be accused of bossing them.<br/><br/>She was glad Alex stood up for himself though, always proud of him for not letting their dad compare him to Jacob, or at least putting in his objections when he did.  She flashed him a warm smile, before turning her attention back to Kayla.<br/><br/>"Don't worry, you seem to be fitting in okay, and we're all glad to have you with us," she said, knowing that some were more glad than others, but hoping those who weren't would eventually come around.  "You'll really like this place we're going to, I think," she added, trying to change the subject.  "The food there's really good, and you get plenty for the price, even for us," she grinned.
