Hey everyone! I'm back with another Teen Wolf story, shocker xD Alrightly, well this is a pretty lengthy chapter, but I wanted to lay out all the ground work in the first chapter to really get the ball rolling! Hopefully I'll be updating once or twice a week so bear with me on the timing of when I post since I'm ultra busy with school at times! Well that's about it...Read on and hope you enjoy! Oh and please leave a comment to let me know if you think you'll continue reading and if not, why! I love to hear everyone's valid opinions! 3
Oh and here is the link to the outfit Brielle wears on her first day at Beacon Hills! It's on pinterest so just add pinterest . c o m (without the spaces) followed by /pin/369647081886614657/
Sorry if that's confusing!
"I still can't believe you're doing this to me. It's so unfair…"
"It's for the best, Bri, God knows I haven't been the best father since what happened to your mother…I just…need some time, and you need a parent figure while I'm away."
"But dad! My friends are here! My life is here!"
"And you'll make new friends in Beacon Hills."
"I don't want new friends!"
"Well like it or not, you're going and that's that. Now go finish packing, we're loading the car in T-minus 20 minutes."
"Mom wouldn't make me do this…"
"Well look at little Brielle, all grown up now!"
No matter how miserable and pissed off I was, I couldn't help but smile at Uncle Chris. He always looked so tough, but when he says things like "little Brielle" his big teddy bear side comes right to the surface. It's amazing how he went through almost the exact same thing with his wife that my father is now, but only six months later can put on such a brave face. If only my dad could do that…
"Yep, I guess I'm not nine years old anymore," I replied with a smile to counteract the sarcasm that came out in my tone.
"I guess not," he said as he patted me on the back. Argent men were never one to hug.
"Well, kiddo. I guess this is goodbye for now…" I heard my dad say from behind me. How could he be so nonchalant about abandoning his daughter?
"Well it didn't have to be, but I guess due to some personality …defects, it is," I bitterly responded.
"Look, Bri. I realize that you're being an over dramatic teenager and all, but cut the attitude. Beacon Hills is a great town and your uncle is going to provide a great home for you while I'm away."
"Whatever," I mumbled as I picked up one of my bags and turned to walk away from the man who at this point I couldn't even stand to look at for another second.
"I love you, Brielle. I promise I'm not doing this to hurt you. It's just for the best right now…"
"Brielle! Oh my God! It's so great to see you!" Allison screamed as she came bounding into the house while Uncle Chris and me were eating pizza for dinner. Instantly, my mood brightened when I heard her voice and saw her gorgeous brunette curls bouncing as she ran toward me. Allison had always been my favorite cousin. We've been so similar our entire lives and are only a year apart in age, so we connected incredibly easy. Luckily for us, our houses were only about an hour apart up until about a year and a half ago when she moved. We had hung out pretty much every other weekend and always texted or called when we weren't together, but then when she suddenly moved, the communication slowly but surely dwindled to nothing. I just assumed she was too wrapped up in her new life, and I couldn't hold that against her even if I wanted to.
"Ally!" I shrieked as I pushed my chair back from the table to jump up into Allison's hug. "Ugh, ew, you're soaking wet. Where have you been?!"
"Yes, Allison, where have you been?" Chris asked in a serious tone from behind us. I turned around to see him shooting Allison a strange glare, but I guess he was just a worried father.
"Ooh, daddy daughter drama. I'll leave you two to it. Come in my room when you're done being scolded Ally!" I teased before spinning and skipping off to my new room. My new room. It had a bitter undertone, but now that Allison is here, I guess it won't be as bad as I thought—once I decorate these white walls at least.
"Bri! I need your help! It's urgent!" Allison yelled from her room across the hall.
"What?! What is it?!" I asked as I ran into the room. To my surprise, Allison was standing in front of a huge mirror holding up to shirts, one bright red and one dark blue. So her emergency is a fashion emergency. Typical Allison. "Seriously?" I asked with an unamused look on my face, although inside, I definitely was amused. "This is your 'urgent matter'?"
"Mhm! Which one?!" she demanded, holding up the shirts and making one of those stupid faces girls make in their Facebook selfies.
"Definitely the red one. Red equals sexy," I declared with a stern head nod to further my point. She smiled and threw the shirt on right away. "So…who's the boy?" I teased as I laid back on her bed.
"Can't say I know what you're talking about," she innocently responded. Yeah right. I knew her better than that, and I just opened my mouth to tell her that when she beat me to it. "You better go get ready. We're leaving in ten minutes."
"I live here now, Ally. You can't avoid the question foreverrr…" I teased in a sing-song tone as I skipped out of her room to finish getting ready.
"Hm, nice style. I like," Allison commented as we walked out to her Mazda. I looked down at my outfit and smiled. I decided to keep it pretty simple today so I didn't look as if I was trying to impress anyone. Just a pair of shorts and a statement top. "Thanks," I replied.
"So, you nervous for your first day?" she questioned while shooting me a smirk paired with a raised eyebrow.
"Me? Nervous? Yeah right," I semi-joked. Truthfully, I'm not a nervous person, but there was a part of me that was a little jittery about starting at a new school as a sophomore in high school and on top of that, it was the middle of the year already. I guess I was lost in my thoughts for a little too long though because when I got back to reality, Allison was looking over at me with a knowing smile on her face. I blushed a little at that.
"You'll be fine. I promise," she encouraged. I took a deep, relaxing breath. I'll be fine. Just have to keep telling myself that.
"Well, this is it," Allison peppily said as she pulled into a parking space in front of a big brick school building. Ordinary, I suppose.
"Great!" I sarcastically shrieked to which she burst out into laughter.
"Yeah, it's not the nicest and school is school, but hey, we do what we gotta do, right?" I nodded my head at her. She had a good point. With one last exchanged smile, we got out of her car and started walking up to the school. Instantly, I could feel all the stares on me as if the kids here had radar to detect one new kid even in a parking lot swarming with teenagers.
"Who is she?"
"I heard she got kicked out of her old school." Seriously, where do people get this crap from?
"Damn, can't wait to get with her." Okay, sure, douchebag. Hell will freeze over before that happens.
God, I already hate this school and I haven't even been here for five freaking minutes!
"Watch out Bri!" I heard Allison yell and felt her try to grab my arm, but was a second too late as I went straight to the ground, hard. Perfect. Just perfect. Everyone surrounding us now starting cracking up in fits of laughter at the stupid new girl falling on her face. What the hell did I even trip over?! A curb. A stupid freaking curb. Why is that even there!
"Hey, you okay?! Let me help you up…" I heard a male voice say as I felt a warm arm wrap around me.
"I can get up myself! I'm fine!" I snapped at the stranger.
"Whoa there, just trying to help," he replied.
"She said she's fine, you can go now," Allison harshly said as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders protectively. I heard the stranger mumble something along the lines of "whatever" under his breath as he walked away. I didn't even see his face since I was too busy brushing the gravel and dirt off of me, but at this point, I didn't really care. "Hey, are you okay? That was a pretty bad fall…"
"No, it's fine. I'm fine," I said, shaking my head and recomposing myself. This day was off to an awful start, but if I was ever going to make it through however long here, I really had to readjust my attitude today. I took a deep breath and shook my body, visually signalizing to Allison that I was shaking everything off. "Now, let's start this day over, yeah?" I smiled to her as she smiled back and nodded.
Allison had showed me to my locker and my first class, but unfortunately, she wasn't in the class with me, or any others for that matter. I had hoped we would've had at least a few classes together, since I was already in some junior level classes here due to my old advanced placement classes being of the same equivalent to the junior level classes here; but I guess I'll just have to roll with the cards I'm dealt. Maybe it'll actually be nice to be able to make my own friends without Allison's help.
"Um, is this seat taken?" I asked a tall, tan boy sitting by the windows.
"Nope, all yours," he replied with a friendly smile. "I take it you're new here?"
"That would be correct. Just moved yesterday and my uncle is already shipping me off to school," I joked.
"How rude of him," he sarcastically replied. "So where are your parents, if you don't mind my asking…"
"Nah, it's all good. Uh my mother actually passed away about a year ago…and my dad had to leave for…business…" I answered, not telling the whole truth regarding my dad, but I wasn't about to tell some stranger about how fucked up my family situation really is with my dad leaving me because he can't handle me anymore.
"Oh wow, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have asked…"
"Don't worry about it. It's fine, really," I quickly assured him.
"Danny," he stated, holding out his hand for me to shake.
"Brielle," I replied with a smile.
"Well here you are, my lady," Danny joked, doing his best curtsy to further his act. He just walked me to my third period class so I wouldn't get lost, but unfortunately he doesn't have this class with me like the first two.
"Why thank you, Mr. Māhealani," I elegantly replied before we both broke out into laughter. Danny was like the brother I never had, or wanted really, but right now I didn't want anything more. "But for real, thanks. I totally appreciate your help. But promise you won't forget to come pick me up here before lunch! I don't want to have to walk in there alone and look for you in a mass crowd of people!" Danny started laughing and nodded his head quickly.
"I promise I won't forget," he responded, holding his left hand up in the scouts honor position. "Now get into class before you end up being late!"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm going, dad," I teased before flipping my hair over my shoulder and prancing into what was to be my biology class.
The room was already about three-quarters filled, but luckily there was still one lab table with no one sitting at it. I took a seat and got out the biology book the woman at the office had given me and waited for the teacher to begin class.
"Well, well. If it isn't the girl who chewed my head off this morning sitting in my seat," I heard a deep voice say from behind me.
"Pretty sure you have me mistaken with someone else," I said as I looked up at a tall muscular guy. If he didn't seem like such an ass, I'd actually think he was slightly attractive. "And since there's other seats open, I'm sure you can sit in one of those," I continued on.
"Nope, it's definitely you. Your charm is ...unmistakable," he said, sitting down in the chair next to me while looking me up and down. I couldn't believe this guy was really being so obvious about checking me out! "Well at least you look better now than you did lying on the ground with gravel in your hair." Shit. Now I recognize the voice. He was the guy who tried to help me up. For a second, I actually felt guilty for being so rude to him then, but quickly withdrew that feeling when I looked over and saw him smirking at my realization.
"Do you want me to thank you and grovel on my knees in appreciation or something? Because you can bet your ass that won't be happening anytime in the near or distant future," I harshly ground out at him.
"Well I'd like you to do something on your knees for me, but groveling isn't it baby." What. An. Ass.
"Do not call me baby ever again. And do not make any type of comment like that to me again! In fact, just don't talk or even look at me ever again, okay?"
"Whatever you say...baby."
Okay now I had enough of his shit. "I swear to fu-"
"Okay class, let's get started!" The teacher's voice beamed out, pausing me before I could finish. I angrily sat back down and could see his stupid grin out of the corner of my eye and it only further angered me. I had to drop this class or at least switch it to a different period or no doubt this guy would be six feet under by the end of the semester.
"Danny, stop laughing! This is not funny! It's like …harassment or something!" I yelled, punching Danny hard in the arm, although he kept laughing slightly anyway. My third period class had just ended, and thankfully, Danny was waiting outside of the room for me so we could walk to lunch together.
"Well I'm sorry, but I think it's pretty funny how easily you're letting this guy get under your skin! Didn't your old school have any of these kind of jerks in it?"
"Well, I mean, I guess it did. But they weren't jerks to me!" This just happened to make Danny laugh even more, but at this point, I'd already given up on trying to get him to be miserable along with me.
"Well, little miss privileged, I guess not you're getting a taste of what the less fortunate high schoolers have already had to endure," he replied, grinning sarcastically at me. "So what is your torturers name anyway?"
"Yes, Danny, because I really asked his name as I was standing up to smack his ego down." He considered this for a second, but then shrugged his shoulders, deciding I had made a valid point.
"Healthy little lunch ya got there," Danny sarcastically commented as he motioned to my Hawaiian Punch and French fries.
"Well, you know, growing girl and all," I jokingly replied, flexing one of my arms for added effect. "So where are we sitting?"
"Right over …there,'' he stated, nodding his head to a table already almost full. Ah shit, really? Of all the tables in the cafeteria, Danny just so happened to sit with Allison and her friends. Just my luck. Of course, I didn't mind sitting with Allison, but at the same time, I wanted to make my own friends, not just have hers adopt me into their group. But apparently, I'll have to wait to make my own friends until after lunch. "Hey guys this is…"
"Brielle! Hey!" Allison excitedly answered before Danny could finish his sentence.
"Yeah…you've met?" he confusedly asked, since he'd been with the first two periods and I hadn't mentioned anyone but the douchebag for third period.
"Yep, about 16 years ago," I replied, laughing at the confused expression on everyone's faces now. "Hey guys, I'm Brielle. Brielle Argent. Allison's cousin." At this, most of their perplexed expressions cleared up as they took in mine and Allison's shared features and characteristics.
"I'm Scott," a cute brunette boy across the table from Allison greeted.
"The Scott?" I questioned with a devious smirk directed towards Allison. No matter how much our communication has declined in the past year, I still knew about the boy who had changed her life so drastically. I don't know the ins and outs of it all, but I do know how much of a love-struck teenager Allison had become since the day she met him. Apparently Scott didn't even realize how much of a huge role he's played in Allison's life though because I was once again looking at a confused look take over his face. Allison, on the other hand, knew exactly what I was getting at because her face was about fifty shades of red at this point.
"I don't know what you…" Scott started, only to be interrupted by a tomato red Allison.
"Well you know Scott now! This is Lydia," a cute redhead on Allison's left who looked as if she were solving arithmetic in her head while she was staring at me; "Isaac," a very handsome guy seated across from Lydia; "and Stiles…Stiles!" Allison repeated, a little louder to snap this Stiles guy out of his daze. I couldn't help but giggle at the surprised boy's expression. He went from very confused to very embarrassed in a matter of only seconds.
"I, I'm, uh Stiles. I'm Stiles," he quickly stuttered out, making him blush even more.
"Yeah, I gathered that," I said, grinning down at him. He was incredibly awkward and incredibly strange. But also incredibly cute.
"Here, you can sit next to me," Allison said, scooting down on the bench seat a little to make room for me on her right, across from Stiles. Danny was now seated to Lydia's left and making chatty conversation with her about who knows what. "So how's your first day going?" Allison casually asked in between bites of food.
"Well aside from my fall this morning, pretty good. Danny is really the only one I've met so far, but whatever," I said, shrugging my shoulders. I was never one of those people that needed a huge group of friends to feel satisfied. If I had a couple really great friends, I was absolutely fine with that.
"So you'll ramble on and on about that guy to me but not to her? Consider yourself very lucky, Allison," Danny cut in, smirking at me the whole time.
"A guy?" Allison eagerly asked, "You met a guy already?!" I leaned forward in my seat to send a quick "you're so dead" glare to Danny and then turned to my overly eager cousin. However before I looked in her direction, I caught a glance at Stiles' face and for a fleeting moment, I think he actually looked a bit disappointed, but I decided to ignore it. That would be way too awkward to get mixed up with one of Allison's guy friends.
"Well yeah, of course, I mean I did walk in here with Danny, didn't I?" I retorted, avoiding the real question she was asking. It wasn't that I minded telling Allison anything, I just didn't feel like getting into a big rant again right now; and I knew if I started talking about that guy, then I would become a big ball of anger and irritation yet again.
"You know what I mean, Bri," she pressed on, clearly expecting answers.
"Yes, I know exactly what you mean, and you are so far from wrong in what you're thinking. The guy Danny is talking about is a piece of shit scumbag, not some guy I fell in love at first sight with."
I was surprised at who jumped into the conversation next when I heard Stiles chime in. "What'd he do?"
"Um…nothing in particular. Just his ego and attitude and very freaking existence!" I exasperatedly said, getting more frustrated the more I re-rethought about it.
"Well who are you even talking about?" Allison questioned with familial concern on her face.
I had to re-center myself and sighed heavily before continuing. "I don't even know. I didn't catch his name and frankly I don't care. I'm switching out of that class anyway."
"What class was it?" Scott piped in, out of lack of conversation I'm guessing.
"Chemistry. I'll just switch it to a different class period," I explained after taking a sip of my Hawaiian Punch.
"Ooh, you'll never be able to switch out of that class. Juniors are required to take it so all the classes are packed full," Scott explained.
"Well then I guess I'll just have to drop it," I casually stated, shrugging my shoulders, ready to move on to a different topic.
"Uh didn't you just hear him? Juniors are required to take chem. Required means you have to," Stiles sarcastically said. I let out a chuckle at his ignorance.
"Yes, I'm aware of what the word required means," I started as I continued to laugh a bit. Stiles was now turning that embarrassed shade of red again at his own stupidity.
"She's a sophomore," Allison cut in, "The little genius over here is at a higher level than the sophomore classes here," she finished, nudging me in the arm with her elbow.
"Well maybe I'll have to start studying with her instead of you now," Scott jokingly said to Stiles who looked hurt at his comment.
"Jeez, you dumped me for Allison and now you're dumping me for her cousin. What is with you Argents and stealing my little wolf b…OW! What the hell Allison?!" Stiles shouted out. I was incredibly confused about what just happened and evidently so was everyone else at the table, except Allison of course.
"She doesn't know!" Allison whisper-yelled at Stiles. Everyone's face at the table, except mine and Danny's, seemed to go into panic mode as they glanced at one another waiting for the question from me that they knew was coming.
"I don't know what…?"
"You, uh, you didn't know that I …dated Scott…"
"Are you serious, Allison? You think I'm that naïve? I mean you called me the first few days after you moved here talking about some cute guy you were obsessed with and then you fell off the face of the planet out of nowhere! Of course I knew you were dating someone! Now I know it was Scott," I proudly concluded. "Besides, why is such a big deal that you all panicked when you thought Stiles let out the secret?"
"Um, my dad still doesn't know that I ever dated so I just didn't want you to know because you might let it slip…" Allison explained, although it sounded more like a question than an explanation.
"Oh please. Do you know how much I've kept from my parents over the years?" I said, causing everyone to laugh with relief just as the bell rang signaling the end of lunch.
"Isaac…calm down! He's not worth it! You can't do anything, not here!" I heard Scott whisper-shouting to Isaac while we were walking out of the cafeteria. I turned around to see Isaac's chest huffing in anger and his hands clenched in fists. What the hell was going on?
"Yeah, calm down little beta, wouldn't want you doing something you'll regret…" No, I knew that voice. So it wasn't only me he was an ass to.
"Don't you ever just shut up and leave people alone?" I said, stepping into the situation, although I could feel Allison grabbing my wrist to pull me away.
"Ha, you just can't get enough of me, can you? I mean the parking lot, my chem class, now here too?"
"Don't flatter yourself. And if I'm not mistaken, I'm always in the area first. I was in the parking lot first, the classroom first, here first…" Maybe I was acting slightly like a little child with my argument, but I couldn't take it, him, anymore.
"This is the guy you were talking about?" Isaac angrily asked, glaring at mystery man the whole time. Shit, Isaac. Did he really have to say that?!
"So you've been talking about me?" Asshole said, moving closer to me, making Isaac and Scott also move toward me protectively. However, I was never one to let myself be a damsel in distress who needs protecting from others. I stepped in closer to Asshole so we were only inches apart now. I could see the others eying us warily out of the corner of my eye, and I was actually surprised they were letting me take care of this myself.
"Yes, in fact, I have. I've been talking about what a pretentious, egotistical, big headed asshole the guy I was harassed by in chemistry was. See? You're not even important enough that I know your name. Now if you don't mind—and even if you do—leave my friends and I alone or I will shove something just as big as your ego right up your ass. Got it? Good. We're done here," I sternly said to him before turning and starting to walk away with everyone else right at my heels.
"Aiden," I heard the asshole yell from back in his spot. I knew I shouldn't, but I couldn't help but stop and turn around.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I sighed loudly. Of course, the guy took this as an opportunity to walk back over to me and get right in my personal space. I could feel his hot breath on my ear and I wanted so badly to cringe away, but I definitely wouldn't let him get the satisfaction from that.
"You said you didn't know my name. It's Aiden. I'm sure you'll be screaming it soon enough."
"Well if you keep harassing me like this, I'm sure you're right," I snapped back at him, turning so I was facing him.
"I didn't mean screaming out of anger…" he huskily whispered into my ear before grinning widely and walking away before I could say anything else. I stood there like an idiot for a few more seconds trying to process what just happened, and before I knew what was happening I let out an angered scream before stomping off to my next class, without even really knowing where the hell it was.
