Isaac unwillingly woke up and got ready for school. He looked in the mirror. He looked like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. Becoming a werewolf has not made his life any easier. It wasn't the same as it was for Scott. When Scott turned he got everything. He became co-captain of the lacrosse team, and he got the girl or anyway he had the girl. Why were he and Scott so much different? He thought maybe he was better off. He was part of a pack, and he didn't have to worry about keeping a girl safe like Scott did. Maybe it was good that he didn't have anyone. Nobody to miss, but nobody to love.

Meanwhile Lydia was also getting ready for school. She looked in the mirror and saw a fabulous woman. She was still a little upset about Jackson moving away, but now she would focus on other things and maybe she would tease the boys just a little. I mean when you look as good as here you had to tease. She liked the idea of arm candy. Maybe she would play the field, but she would never do anything serious. Never. She couldn't handle another heart break. She would be the heartbreaker this year. So many boys, but so little time.

Lydia and Allison were talking at their lockers as Scott walked up. Allison and Scott might not be dating, but they decided to try to stay friends. Stiles for once wasn't right behind him. Lydia new Stiles had a crush on her, but she didn't want to break his heart like Jackson broke hears. She just couldn't do that to someone who was that nice to her, but she could only think of him as a friend. Someone did follow Scott though. It was Isaac. Lydia didn't really talk to Isaac much. He only glanced at her for a second. She never really took the time to notice him until today. She could tell he was different ever since he got bit by Derek. She saw through his fake confidence and cockiness. She could tell he was hiding things. The other thing she noticed was hoe hot he looked. A leather jacket could really change a guy.

Isaac started to notice Lydia staring at him. It made him uncomfortable. He still didn't like her after she turned him down freshman year. She was his first crush, and she broke his heart. He would never fall for her perfectly curled strawberry blonde hair or her big green eyes. He started to stare at her involuntary. He couldn't help it. It was like she was drawing him in. He didn't understand the pull she had over him. He was a werewolf. He was the powerful one, but he felt weak around her. He didn't like this feeling. He had to get out of here. Then the bell came to his rescue and rang. He was so relieved, but then Scott had to ruin it when he said," So am I going to see you and Lydia at lacrosse practice?"

Before Allison could respond Lydia said," Of course we are."

She looked right into Isaac's eyes when she said it. As she walked off Lydia brushed her hand on Isaac's arm. It took the breath out of him. Scott noticed something was wrong.

Scott asked," Are you okay?"

When Isaac recovered he replied," Yeah I'm fine."

Later in the locker room Scott, Isaac, and Stiles were getting ready for practice. Scott and Stiles noticed that Isaac looked nervous. Stiles figured because tonight was the full moon. Scott knew better. He could tell something was wrong, but he didn't know what. It wasn't like Isaac was an open book. It took them forever to even become this close and he didn't want to push it. Isaac noticed Scott staring. He was looking at him like he was trying to figure out his secret through his facial expressions. He thought about telling Scott. He figured that Scott went through something similar with Allison, but he didn't know. He told Scott that he trusts him, but he wasn't sure what he would say if he told him the weird feelings he was having for Lydia. To make it worse he knew that Scott liked her to. Isaac wasn't really friends with Stiles, but he didn't hate the guy either. What was he going to do? Finally he looked at Scott and slightly irritated asked, "What?"

Scott replied," You sure you okay man? You look…nervous."

"I'm fine."

Stiles jumps in with," Dude shut up. You talk way too much."

Stiles gave one of his weird and awkward smiles. Isaac wasn't amused, so he gave him a look.

Stiles replied," Well you have no sense of humor."

Lydia took a seat next to Allison. Practice had already started. She found herself drawn to pay extra attention to number 14. He was doing really well. She could see the anger in his tackles. She wanted to know the reason behind his anger as well. She knew that she could never love again, but something was pulling her towards him. Maybe she just wanted to uncover his secrets or maybe she just wanted to sleep with him. Either way she would figure something out. Allison noticed her focusing on Isaac, so she said," So why the sudden interest in Isaac?"

She replied," What?"

"I saw you brush up against him earlier today and now you're staring at him."

"I assure you that I don't know what you are talking about."

"Okay, but if you do like Isaac I think you should go for it."

"Really? Why?"

"Because you deserve to be happy and you haven't been happy for a while at least not until today."

"Well thanks. I'll let you know if my opinion on Isaac changes."

"You do that."

After lacrosse Allison, Scott, Stiles, and Lydia planned to go out to eat afterwards. Scott tried to convince Isaac to go, but he said he was busy. Scott would have preferred he come with them, so he could keep an eye on him for the full moon, but he couldn't stop him. Isaac knew how much he would like to hang out with them. He always wanted friends, but he wasn't sure that they really wanted him. Isaac went back to the locker room to change. He was only wearing blue jeans when Lydia walked in. He didn't notice her came in. Then she tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped and turned to see Lydia giving him a seductive smile. He wasn't sure what to do. He just stood there. Lydia realized that he wouldn't make the first move. She looked him over. She thought how hot he looked shirtless. She said," So why did you blow us off?"

He replied."Um…ex…excuse me."

She found his stutter cute and empowering. She was in control."

"Why didn't you come out with us?"

"I'm busy."

"Doing what?"

He didn't like to talk a lot to her. He didn't like feeling this powerless, and he noticed her eyes wondering to his chest.

"Stuff."

"Well that was descriptive."

"Why do you care?"

"Maybe I'm interested."

"In what?"

She smiled at his attempt to be clueless.

"In you."

He raised his eyebrow at this. He was so confused. Lydia loved how hot he looked when he did that thing with his eyebrow. She began to move closer to him. Isaac wasn't entirely sure what to do. Should he kiss her or not? Their lips were now inches away. She leaned closer. Isaac pushed her off. He quickly put on his shirt and ran out the door. Usually when a girl was rejected she would stop, but Lydia wasn't most girls. She was the type of girl who usually got what she wanted and she loved a challenge.

The moon was out. Isaac was having trouble keeping the wolf inside. He was wandering the forest away from civilization. Why was it so much harder this time? He kept thinking about Lydia and what almost happened. He felt like an idiot for not letting it happen, but he couldn't let it happen. Figures when she finally showed an interest in him he wouldn't kiss her. How could he not kiss her? Why was he feeling like this? He couldn't stand it anymore. He started to run. He was now completely transformed. He climbed the roof of a house. It was Lydia's house. He felt like he needed to protect her. He stood right outside her window. Then she looked outside her window and said, "Isaac?" She knew he was there. He walked to her window. She saw his face and she didn't recoil. Then he went through the window into Lydia's room.
