All was not well in Beacon Hills. Ethan rubbed his temple tiredly even as the English teacher lectured about the character building assignment for the week. Yesterday's black-out rave had ended much later for the wolves than the normal party crowd and Ethan was still severely hung over from all the fighting. He looked around the classroom. Scott had a faraway look on his face, Isaac was fast asleep with his head on his desk and Stiles was mumbling incoherently to himself, something about keeping awake. His brother Aiden was still sleeping it off at the loft because he had taken the last hit and was still afflicted by mysterious chills. Lydia was absent too, probably home as well.

The bell rang. Ethan closed his book thankfully and was about to get up when an indignant voice greeted him.

"Where the hell did you disappear to last night?" Danny demanded, standing in front of Ethan's desk.

"Oh hey Danny" Ethan replied, slowly getting up on his feet, kind of glad that he had Danny to take his mind off of things. He needed a break anyway. He reached for Danny's hand but the boy jerked it away.

"I asked you a question," he said. Something in Danny's voice made Ethan look at the human's face closely. His body language had changed, like he was angry with Ethan.

"Sorry Danny, I got caught up with something" Ethan offered, trying to read the emotions on Danny's face, quite unsuccessfully.

"Something or someone?" Danny spat, rolling his eyes.

Ethan felt anger rising in his chest. Did he just say that?! Ethan scoffed. "That's rich, Danny! Coming from the guy who cheated on me" he said viciously.

"I didn't cheat on you!"

"Oh really? Then what were you doing with your ex; a guy who, btw, broke up with you via a text? Tutoring him on how become a good kisser?" Ethan ranted, without considering his words much. He was stressed and worried about the events of the previous night. In the heat of the moment, the hurt he had felt when he saw Danny making out with the other guy also bubbled over.

Danny gaped slightly, hurt by Ethan's words. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Did Ethan really have the right to judge him?

Danny's own resentment now broke the barrier.

"You left," Danny countered in a dangerously low voice,"you left me for two weeks! No texts, no calls... what do you expect me to do? Huh?"

"Well, I'll tell you what I didn't expect. I didn't expect you to get around so quickly" Ethan taunted.

Furious, Danny shoved him hard, tears glistening in his eyes. The rough push seemed to have broken Ethan's resolve a bit and now when he noticed the tears, his face softened. He suddenly realised what he had done and regretted it immediately.

"Danny, I'm so sorry I didn't mean it" Ethan started, taking a step towards the boy in front of him but Danny backed away, shaking his head in disbelief.

"The hell you didn't!"

Ethan let out a deep breath. He mentally kicked himself for losing his cool. So much for trying to be human and winning Danny's affection, he thought.

"Danny, I was just... angry, okay? I got mad when I saw you kiss that jackass. You deserve better; and I want to be that guy you deserve. I know I have a long way to go, but please Danny, let me be that guy for you." Ethan looked at Danny hopefully but the teen didn't smile or even acknowledge the fact that he heard the apology.

Ethan stepped forward attempting to put his arms around Danny but he shoved him away again, this time, harder.

"Hey!" Ethan let out, confused with his boyfriend's behaviour.

"You left me! YOU LEFT ME! And then you have the nerve to waltz back into my life and call me a cheat? HOW DARE YOU?! You know what, screw you. Just f*** off alright! I never want to see you." Danny yelled, turning around and storming towards the door. Suddenly he found Ethan standing in front of him. How Ethan managed it so quickly, he didn't know. And by then, he didn't care. He was too angry to care. He was too blinded by rage and hurt to see the look of genuine anguish on Ethan's face. He didn't see the tears in Ethan's eyes. He didn't hear the desperate apologies and promises to tell him the truth that Ethan made.

Danny pushed Ethan out of his way and coldly announced, "At least my ex left me a text. You know what, Ethan? You can never be the guy I deserve. Hell, you can't ever be good enough for anyone. I just wish I'd never met you! If you can Ethan, be that guy for me, will you? The guy I never met."

With that Danny stormed out of the room, leaving Ethan hurt and in shock.

Aiden was rummaging through his locker. He wasn't looking for anything in particular. He was just stalling. Lydia was standing at her locker, reapplying lip gloss carefully and Aiden was waiting for an opportunity to go talk to her. After last night, he wanted to make sure she was okay. They had both just reached school, effectively missing the first class. Lydia turned and caught Aiden's eye. She was considering whether or not to come forward when their attention was shifted to the end of the hall.

"New student?" "I don't know, man! She's hot!" the whispers were spreading through the corridor. Everyone was turning to see the new entrant. Lydia craned her neck to see this new arrival and soon the girl came into her line of sight. She walked straight, carried a shiny black motorbike helmet in her hand. She wasn't American by the looks of it; probably south Asian. Her tanned skin was a give-away. She was wearing a sleek black leather jacket, on an all-black ensemble. Lydia noticed that even her boots were black with stylish silver buckles. She sniggered when she remembered how similar it was to the twins' entry last time. Thinking of the twins, she glanced over to Aiden. Immediately, she felt a pang of jealousy go through her. Aiden was looking at this new girl as if she was some dead-girl-walking. Like he'd seen a ghost; but a ghost that he was in love with.

Lydia's jaws dropped slightly when the girl came to a stop in front of Aiden. She looked at him with the same recognition (minus the confusion) and smiled.

"Don't I get a hello?" she said.

Aiden stood there for a good five seconds in complete silence before pulling her into a tight embrace.

Danny stormed out of the classroom into the corridor, just in time to catch the dramatic entry of the new student. He watched as Aiden hugged her. He also noticed the shock on Lydia's face. But his mind was still too occupied with his fight so he started walking in a huff to the locker room.

"Hey Ethan!" a voice called, cheerfully. Danny turned to see Ethan coming out of their classroom. The girl pulled out of Aiden's embrace and was grinning at Ethan. Ethan stared at her a long minute before striding towards her and hugging her. In an instant, the tears vanished. The sorrow and hurt in his face was replaced by a kind of happiness that Danny had never seen on either of the twins. The last time Ethan was anywhere near this happy was when they were in Glen Capri. But the thought made pain shoot through his heart. Ethan claimed to love him, to care about him. Yet, Danny had just dumped him with the meanest words possible and Ethan was already over it! That didn't look like someone who cared, Danny thought. He felt tears stinging his eyes. He turned around and walked away, this time towards the main entrance. He wanted to go home.

"Ethan doesn't care. I was right. From now, Ethan will be the guy I never met" he said to himself as he left the school building.
