"Felicity try and make some friends," my mom Lilly said as we pulled up outside my new school. I couldn't help but roll my eyes she made out like I had no friends, I just didn't like many people.
"You never say that to Freya," I muttered. As I opened up the car door mom grabbed my hand and I turned to look at her, "what?"
"Felicity I mean it, we can't move again," she said. "Please try, we've been here before and you liked it, try not to get into trouble on the first day."
"Great now give Freya the same lecture and I might listen," I said. I walked away from her and made my way to the front office, the receptionist showed Freya and I our lockers and gave us our schedules I hit my head against the locker as I watched people looking and whispering at us. "I hate being the new girl."
"It's not so bad sis you get to see him again," Freya grinned. "It hurt you leaving him last time."
I shook my head, I didn't want to think about him right now, "whatever," I said. Before I could walk away she grabbed my arm and I turned to face her, "don't give me the same lecture mom just did. As your older twin sister-"
"I'm not going to," she interrupted before I could say anything else. "Don't close yourself off to me, I meant what I said you can tell me anything. Mom is just worried becauseā¦" she trailed off and sighed. We both knew what she was thinking only she wasn't willing to say it. She shook her head, "I'll see you in class."
She walked away and I sighed shaking my head, I hated not knowing my whole family was always on edge wondering what I would do next, like I could control what I did, like I knew what I was. "Liss?" I heard someone say. I frowned I hadn't heard that nickname or voice in so long, I turned around to see Lydia stood with a boy I didn't recognise, "Felicity."
I nodded, she wrapped her arms around me hugging me tightly she squeezed my chest and my hands just hung by my side standing there awkwardly as she hugged me, "Lydia," I replied. "It's good to see you - I think." My eyes travelled to the boy stood next to her and I raised an eyebrow as she pulled away, "and are you going to introduce me to your friend."
"I'm Liam," he said.
I nodded, the warning bell rang and I sighed, "Scott and Stiles are going to flip their lids when they see you." She said excitedly. I couldn't help but smile I looked down at my schedule and I couldn't help but frown, math. I was good at it but hated the subject it tended to be the case with most things I was good at. I hated them. I walked into Maths and Lydia was behind me, I sat down next to her and she smiled, "you seem different. I can't put my finger on it, but you do."
"Just grew up," I told her.
My mind dulled through maths sadly it was everything I had covered in my last school already, which meant I got to sit there and day dream about anything, but there was one thing my mind always came back to. Him. He never left my mind anymore which was slightly annoying I doubt he spared a thought about me since I was gone. The bell rang and maths ended, I walked out the classroom and towards my locker throwing my stuff in my locker. I looked up looking around the corridor my eyes widen as I saw him I did a double take. What was he doing here? I ran down the corridor not wanting him to see me, I saw Scott and Stiles heading for the boys locker room, I pushed them in and shut the door behind us. They turned to look at me and shocked covered their faces, "Floss?"
"I hate that name," I told Scott flatly. I wrapped my arms around both of them hugging them tightly, "hi, I'm back in Beacon Hills again."
"How long have you been back? Wait better question why push us into the boys locker room?" Stiles asked. The door opened and I turned to see a young girl walk in she glared at me, she walked over to Stiles and stood next to him, Stiles put his hand in front of her, "it's fine Malia, she's an old friend. Felicity this is my girlfriend Malia, Malia this is Felicity."
"Well hi Felicity sorry sort of for the death glare," she said. She turned to Scott, "we have problem. Derek." I froze at the name I wasn't dreaming he was in the school and I had a feeling he wouldn't stop until he found me. "He's in school, he's looking for someone, looks like his wolf may have been a little in control."
I heard footsteps and hid behind the lockers, the door opened and I looked around the corner, my heart skipped a beat as he entered, he hadn't changed since I had been gone, he looked a little more beaten down by the world but other than he hadn't changed. "What are you doing here Derek? I thought we had a deal you stay off school grounds."
I frowned, "where is she? I know she's here I can smell her," he growled. "Her scent is everywhere." I couldn't help but be surprised by the fact he still knew my scent, that still sounded creepy no matter how use to this world I was. "Scott." He growled and Scott growled back, I watched as Derek grabbed Scott by the scruff of his shirt, "where is she?!"
"Who is she?!" Malia asked. "Derek you know Scott can kick your ass he's just not because he's nice. Now who is she?"
"Felicity," he whispered.
"How do you know Floss?" Scott asked. "She wasn't around when you came back to town so to speak, so why do you want her? She's innocent in all of this leave her out of it." I stayed quiet I didn't want him to know I was here I didn't know how angry he would actually be with me.
"She's an old" he paused. "Friend." Scott raised his eyebrow skeptically they didn't believe him, he wasn't very convincing on the friend part. "Where is she?"
Scott pulled away from Derek and I saw his eyes glow red, Scott was trying to dominate Derek which was funny. Derek told me he had once tried to dominate Scott and it didn't go down very well. "Derek just tell us man then we can go back to our lives and you getting out of school." Stiles complained. I couldn't help but smile he really hadn't changed from the sarcastic person I remembered. Derek glared at Stiles and he stepped back nervously.
"Felicity isn't here," Scott lied.
Derek raised his hand ready to punch Scott I stepped out from behind the locker and stood between them, Scott was quick to grab me and pull me away, I looked at him and sighed, "it's okay," I said softly.
"Derek is dangerous Floss," he sighed. "You need to stay away from him."
From the corner of my eye I could see how irritated Derek was getting and I couldn't help but feel guilty, I was just adding to more pain that I had caused him, I turned around to face Derek and my heart skipped a beat, I smiled softly and stepped forward. I let out a breath I looked into his eyes I had missed his blue eyes, they were one of my favourite things about him. I took another step forward, Derek hadn't made a move yet which made me slightly nervous, "Derek," I said quietly.
"Felicity." I reached up and wrapped my arms around him hugging him tightly, I felt his arms wrap around my back pushing us together I couldn't help but breathe in his smell, I had missed him.
The whole room was silent as I pulled away from him and turned to look at my old friends, "Guys, Derek he would never hurt me," I said nodding. "He's not like that."
"I seem to remember different, I mean who did he violently kill oh that's right Peter," Stiles said sarcastically. I saw Malia flinch at the sound of his name and raised an eyebrow, I wondered what was up with that. "That's probably not even where it started. He's a killer Fliss."
Derek placed his hand in mine and as I looked at him I noticed how vulnerable he looked with me right now, I squeezed his hand and he looked down at me. "Okay, maybe he's killed a few people but he would never hurt me." I argued, I get that they had some bad pasts with Derek but they didn't know him like I do. But I also wasn't stupid enough to think that I didn't know him like they knew him.
"Floss," Scott warned. "You can't be serious how do you even know him?" I didn't know what to say I couldn't even begin to explain how I even began to speak to him or what had happened between us because honestly sometimes I didn't even know how we ended up like we did. "Floss talk to me, I know you, you wouldn't ever go for a guy like Derek."
"I'm right here," Derek said bluntly.
The locker room door opened and I looked to see Freya walking in, she sighed as she saw me, "I've been looking for you, Felicity you skipped 2nd period, did you ignore mom's speech?" Freya asked completely ignoring the others and the situation that we was in.
I looked at her and nodded, "yes, it wasn't a speech it was a lecture," I scoffed.
"I thought you were avoiding Derek?" Freya asked confused.
"Shut it Freya," Derek snapped. "Look what ever happened between Felicity and I is between Felicity and I and nobody else. Stop questioning her about it, she clearly does not want to talk about what happened considering we haven't even talked about it." I mouthed thank you to him and he smiled.
I pulled him away and outside the locker room and we stood in the corridor, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was here, I wasn't sure you would want to see me," I admitted.
"Felicity I will never not want to see you," he said. "I'll pick you up after school okay?"
"Okay."
