After all that has happened this year, with Jackson being the Kanima, Allison's mom dying and her grandfather wanting to become a werewolf, I wasn't surprised that Derek was living in a state of paranoia. I wanted nothing more then to talk with him, but I guess his uncle actually being alive really got to him. He was too busy running and hiding from Allison for me to find him and talk to him, and no matter how much I begged Scott he wouldn't help search for him. But who could blame him, he's the reason why Scott and Allison broke up.
All of this was going through my head while driving to Scotts so we can go to school, but the daze ii was in soon left when someone honks out of nowhere, making me swerve around. Luckily, my dad didn't trust me and got me new brakes, I got back on the road, this time paying more attention to driving then to Derek. It was hard but Scott's house wasn't that far. Finally I was at Scotts, and, as usual he was late and just expects me to wait on him. I honked and told myself if he doesn't come out in 5 minutes he can use his wolf speed to get to school. As I was backing out I hear a loud scream,
"Stiles, Stiles, wait!"
The front door swings open and I see Scott with toast in his mouth, and his backpack on one shoulder, trying to put his shoe on. I stop and wait, knowing that Scott always does this, so it wasn't a surprise. He opens the door, hops in and acts all casual. I just sit there, giving him my usual look. He looks over, notices, and takes a deep breath but all that comes out is,
"Let's go, we're gonna to be late again, my moms barley talking to me, I don't those rare words to be her telling me she disappointed. Please."
"Fine, fine." I tell him while taking the car out of park, into reverse, and then to drive. The school wasn't that far from Scott's, but sitting there in silence made it seem forever. This was awkward for me, I wasn't used to sitting in silence with Scott unless we were in the principal's office, or running from hunters; we talked all the time, but I couldn't start a conversation.
If I did, all I would be talking about is 'Where's Derek? What's Derek doing? Is he alright?' It was driving me crazy not knowing anything. We were pulling into the parking lot when Scott hits me in the chest and starts screaming.
"Dude, Stiles, look its Allison." I look over and see Allison Argent in her usual leather jacket, knee high boots and black leggings. She notices us, but just gives a glare and starts walking. Scott looks over at me, then rushes out, grabbing his backpack saying,
"I have to talk to her. This is the first time she's been to school since her grandfather's death."
Before I could even reply the door was slammed shut and he was half way down the parking lot. It took a little while to find a parking space, one of the perks to being late, but I didn't mind, it gave me more time to think about these mixed feelings I have for Derek. I don't know if I'm gay, or what. I don't think I am, it's just like a weird attraction to Derek and his abs- his very defined abs. I always found myself thinking about Derek, even if I started thinking about something totally different such as what we were learning in science, I don't know how, he's just always there in my head. Irony strikes when I see Derek on the other side of the parking lot. I start to walk a little faster acting as if I didn't see him. No matter how much I like Derek he was still a dangerous guy that's none trust worthy, most of the time. I face forward, still walking fast, and try hard to control my heart rate. I don't need Derek sensing my fear. Half way down the walkway and everything's going good, no sign of trouble, no sign of Derek. I just try as casually as I can to look over my shoulder, seeing if Derek was still there. I was relieved to see that he was gone, but became scared half to death to find Derek not on the other side of the parking lot, but a couple inches in front of me. I freak out, my arms flying around, my knee rising, almost hitting Derek. He does a little smirk, then says,
"Hello, Stiles."
I stay a little quite but, I had to reply sooner or later. I don't need Derek ripping out my throat.
"Hey, what's up Derek?" is all I say, with a sarcastic tone. After saying that, his facial expression changes, that of what I guess was a smile drops, being replaced with his usual serious, no emotion face. He comes out and just tells me
"I need your help, Allison has been tracking me."
I cut him off saying,
"I know she hates Scott and I."
"Exactly, someone needs to deal with her, I let you know so you can tell Scott to talk to her, or I will, but I think there are enough dead Argent's already."
I don't know what to say, Allison and I may not be on thee best terms right now but I don't want her to die and plus if I let her die Scott would never forgive me.
"Okay." I tell him, trying to sound as if I understand but I had to ask,
"Why me? Why not Scott?"
He doesn't reply at first, it was like he had to think about it, he raises an eyebrow and just says,
"I guess I just like talking to you."
I was a little surprised that Derek, , like talking to me, but for some reason it just brought a warm feeling in my gut. That for me was a confirmation, its official I have a crush on Derek Hale. I was going to say something but he just started walking away, not even saying goodbye.
