-Chapter One-
Scarlett Winters. Most people, being her mother, called her Sky or Scar, as called by her father, who was in prison for robbing a bank with his three friends. When someone would look for her, which was rare half of the time, she was described as, "A pale, paler than pale, seventeen year old girl with a little above the elbow black hair, dark blue eyes that no one could see into, being shy, never talking to anyone, even her teachers, and being beyond a genius with computers, hacking, and school work."
Sometimes she would lock herself away in her room, staying on her Apple laptop that her mother had bought her for her birthday, along with an iPhone that she used to go on the internet, and to play apps and an iPod that was an extra, on the side, gift sent from her father, who "had connections" in prison. All Sky knew was that not one person was her friend and that would stay that way for as long as she was in school. Little did she know that she would soon face two of the most known guys at school, them asking for her help.
"Sky, do you need a ride to school or can you just walk?" Her mother asked Sky, knowing she she had her driver's license, but no car to drive into to school.
"I'll take the walking option." Sky replied, tying the laces on her black All-Star converse that were basically her babies as she described to her mother.
"I'm heading off to work, then." Her mother finished, the sound of footsteps leaving, the door completing the act of heading to work.
Standing up, she saw herself in the mirror, her black tank-top underneath her favorite No Way plaid shirt that she was given by her grandfather who passed away a year ago, her Mid-Rose skinny jeans completing the flawless, or at least close to flawless, look she was wearing. Looking into her eyes, she watched her black hair cloud around her shoulders, blocking her face from exposure as Sky gave a small, weak smile to her reflection, turning around, and swinging her black bag over her shoulder as she left the house.
With her iPhone in her back pocket with her iPod being in her front, she listened to Evanescence, the song being Hello, as she left the house, walking towards school. Turning a corner, a blue jeep appeared behind her, it stopping as a person peered out of the opened window. Scott McCall.
Pulling out an earphone, she listened to what they were going to say.
"Are you Samantha?" He asked, getting her name wrong which she shyly tried to correct, knowing he was one of those people would didn't care what her name was.
"Scarlett." She weakly corrected, her eyes fading from his as she looked further into the jeep, seeing Stiles Stilinski hiding in the driver's seat.
"Scarlett, do you think you can help us with a-" Scott stopped, a word block happening, only to be saved by his best friend who cut in without a look from Scott.
"Do you think you can help with a situation we have? We heard you're the one to talk if we have a problem with a computer." Stiles eased in, Scott not bothering to bounce back in as he let Stiles talk it out with Sky, being as careful as possible to not get any unwanted information into the conversation.
"Heard from who?" Sky asked, perking up as she thought that someone had noticed her, but, for her luck, no one had.
"N- No one told us, but we saw you working on a computer, well," Reaching over to Scott, he put his hands on his shoulders, continuing on what he was talking about. "Scott did, and thought our little problem wouldn't be that hard if you could help."
"What's the problem?" Sky asked, leaning on the jeep door as she looked over to Stiles who reached over Scott, pushing the door open.
"We'll tell you on the way to school." He said, half offering a ride to school and the other half basically telling her to get in the car, knowing she couldn't refuse the offer due to her shyness.
Getting out, Scott allowed her in the backseat before getting back in, shutting the door as Stiles pulled away from the curb, Sky shutting off her iPod as she shoved her earphones into her pocket.
"We have this video that we don't want other people seeing, but we just can't figure out how to erase it." He began, describing his situation to Sky as he looked back in the rear-view mirror, watching her listen to every word he was saying.
"You want me to delete it, erasing it's history from the internet, don't you?" She estimated, knowing that's what everyone wanted from her- her computer skills.
"Could you?" Scott piped in, not wanting to be forgotten like he never was, the conversation making Stiles the new Batman and Scott the new Robin.
"Suppose so. When we get to school, I'll just do this and that to make it disappear, like magic, only," Sky suddenly went from a happy feeling to a sigh, a sad feeling overwhelm her as she whispered, "Not."
"We'll come with you so you know what video to delete." Scott told her as the reached their final destination, Stiles parking as Scott was the first to get out, followed by Stiles, leaving Sky to get out, Scott holding her left hand as she jumped out.
"And we are here." Sky said as she arrived at a room, sneaking inside as she walked over to a table in a classroom, it being her class where the principal had placed her, her being his assistant from time to time, whenever needed.
"This is your room? The principal just hands out free rooms to smart people, doesn't he?" Stiles said, looking around at the posters hanging on the walls, the back wall being covered with bookshelves, books clattering on the shelves, a couch being on a rug with a TV on a table in front of the couch, and a tank filled with water along with two dozen goldfish swimming around.
"When you can type fifty-seven words per minute, can hack anything in thirty seconds, and can read over two thousand words per minute, the room is just offered up to you," Sky told him like it was nothing, both of them turning to each other and mouthing, "Wow" before turning back to look at Sky. "Now, what can I help with today?"
"The Beacon Hills Hospital, the parking lot yesterday in the afternoon, around five." Scott replied, knowing of what happened, the murder that was caused by Derek Hale just before he left Beacon Hills after the Lunar Ellipse had happened.
"Now you see it," She began, hacking into the website as she double clicked on the video, snatching the link as she began to type, it vanishing before their eyes. "Now you don't."
"It's gone as in, 'No one can watch the video or hear the video in a million years' gone?" Scott clarified, hoping for a positive, which was sneaking away from Sky's lips as she peaked from the computer to Scott's eyes.
"Correct." She confirmed, exiting out of the internet as she turned in her seat to see them suddenly become relieved.
"Thank you." Scott replied, leaving with Stiles following behind, him whispering a quick, "Thank you."
Seeing her door shut, she lifted her hand as she grabbed the other side of her hair, pulling it all onto one side as she looked back to the computer. What was that video about?
