I couldn't believe it was senior year. I honestly thought that last year would never end between the dead pool and the fight with Peter and Kate six months ago but here I was applying to another college but UC Davis wanted me to play soccer and lacrosse for them. I was busy applying to college when Stiles pulled up into the driveway. I sighed and finished typing my essay before printing it out. I would have Max read it over when I got home from being out at Senior Scribe. I couldn't believe he wasn't going to be in school this year with me. It was a bittersweet thing. I heard the familiar roar of the ancient engine pull into the driveway and I didn't even have to look out my window to see Stiles. He honked the horn and I shook my head.
"Stiles is here I'm leaving!" I called out as I walked down the stairs.
I was heading out with Scott and Stiles tonight for another trio night and it was also Senior Scribe. I had been dreaming about it since we were freshman at Beacon Hills High and I never actually thought I would be able to do it after the whole stunt with me killing someone. I was so happy that I was able to do it and so was Stiles for some odd reason. I grabbed my sweatshirt on the way out that Liam had gotten me a few weeks back because I always got cold whenever we went out on our dates. It was a orange color with a browning symbol on it. I wasn't a big supporter of browning but I had looked really cute on me so I decided to give it a try.
We usually have now once a week away from everyone but this time we had to take Liam with us, and we were also discussing what our plans for living arrangements were going to be for college. Scott, Stiles, and I had sworn up and down since the day we got into middle school we were all going to the same college and living in the same place. I didn't honestly think we were going to live up to that promise but you know within the last year the three of us had become closer than I ever thought possible. I jumped into the back once Scott hopped out of the passenger seat to let me in.
We ended up at the reservoir overlooking town. I was laying on the roof of the jeep watching as a storm rolled in, while Stiles leaned against the jeep with a map and a red sharpie with Scott sitting on the hood. I sighed as lightning lit up the sky. I don't know if the boys agreed with me but this was the most beautiful site I had seen in a while.
"So I found some cool two bedroom apartments in the Mission District, but they're pretty expensive. A couple in Haight and Ashbury, also expensive." Stiles said as I rolled onto my back to look up at the sky. He glanced up at me and then over at Scott.
"What about Berkeley?" Scott asked.
"A lot of people live near there." I said in agreeance.
"Yeah, yeah, we could try Nob Hill but the jeep would go through a lot of clutches." Stiles said. I rolled my eyes; of course he would bring this hunk of metal along with him.
"You're bringing the jeep?" Scott asked. I poked Scott in the back of the head and he glanced back at me. I winked at him and then glanced over at Stiles in a teasing manner. He shook his head at me knowing that something smart-ass was going to come out of my mouth.
"Come on Scott how could he leave it home." I teased as Stiles reached forward and grabbed my hair yanking it. I growled at him and he just rolled his eyes.
"Not afraid of the alpha eyes or teeth anymore from you, tiny one. But you two know the plan. No one gets left behind. That's the plan. Lydia isn't going to have a problem getting into Stanford. Kira's thinking USF. Malia's, uh going to, you know she will figure something out. The plan's perfect." Stiles said. I just rolled my eyes and moved so I was sitting up on the top of the jeep before sliding down his windshield which made him suck in a breath.
"And I'm doing Computer Engineering." I smiled.
"See, the plans perfect!" Stiles smiled.
"Or we could also wait until we actually get into college." Scott suggest and I sighed leaning back against the windshield. Stiles shook his head.
"I…um already actually in to UC Davis if I make a call." I muttered.
"Shut up." Scott said knocking my head away slightly. I chuckled smiling at him.
"I have a vision dude. Okay? And it's a beautiful vision so don't ruin the vision." Stiles said quickly as he looked back down at the map.
"What about the East Bay? Haven't looked at Oakland yet, you know." Stiles said as he moved his hand across the map. Scott glanced up at the moon and I looked up feeling the itching from the moon but it wasn't like it had been a few months ago. Scott and Stiles both had helped me in the last five months get a grip on myself.
"You're all right? You're starting to feel it?" Stiles asked as he looked at both of us before letting his gaze linger on me. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"I'm fine." I said rolling my eyes.
"I'm just thinking." Scott admitted.
"About?" I asked as I popped my lips.
"Senior year." Scott said.
"Don't dwell on it too much. The more you think the more you panic about it and you shouldn't be because it's going to a piece of yummy cake!" I smiled. Scott laughed and smiled back at me.
"But it's more like something that Deaton told me once. You ever hear of regression to the mean?" Scott asked.
"Nope." I said as I got a feeling that Scott was about to give me that life lesson Deaton had given him a while back and I was also afraid that I wasn't going to exactly like what I was about to hear either.
"No, I don't think so." Stiles said.
"It's his way of saying that life can't ever be all bad or all good. You know, things gotta come back to the middle. So, think about the last few months. Things have been good, right? But not amazing." Scott said. I just nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, but no one's tried to kill us in the last six months either." Stiles said.
"And thank god for that!" I said fist bumping the air.
"Right. We've been pretty much in the middle for a while. Which means eventually the scale has to tip one way or the other. Things are going to get really good again…" Scott said. I frowned as I glanced up at both him and then I flashed my gaze over to Stiles who had been looking at me before looking over at Scott.
"Or really bad." Stiles and I said together right before the thunder cracked in the sky before having lighting light it up.
"Think it's been long enough?" Stiles asked. I glanced over to see Liam chained to a tree.
"Yes, I've been saying that for the last ten minutes." I muttered.
"That's because he's your boyfriend." Stiles said pointing the sharpie at me. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"I agree with Sky!" Liam yelled. I smiled. They both looked over at him as I slid off the hood of the jeep walking over to Liam. He smiled at me and I pecked his lips lightly before backing up slightly as they came over to me.
"Hey! We're trying to have an adult conversation over here." Stiles called out.
"You're two years older than me and I'm fine. Just let me go!" Liam called out. Scott pulled the key out of his pocket to unlock Liam.
"It's not that we don't trust you." Scott said.
"I do." I muttered.
"It's that I don't trust you." Stiles said. I just rolled my eyes shoving Stiles. He stumbled and then glared at me.
"But after that last full moon…" Scott said. I watched as Liam's cheeks heat up along with my own.
"It was one slip up!" Liam said.
"A slip up? A dozen calls to the Sheriff's Department about a 'monstrous dog-boy running around the streets of Beacon Hills naked'. That's a slip up?" Stiles asked.
"Why were you naked?" Scott asked as he looked at him before looking over at me.
"It was really hot that night, okay?!" He said and then Stiles looked over at me.
"Oh my god." He groaned. Liam looked over at me and I turned red and he smiled at me.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Stiles groaned as he started to pretend to gag. Okay, so last full moon Liam and I were together. We usually make it a date to hang out on the full moon so I can help him stay under control. Well, it may or may not have led to some serious making out and foreplay before he wolfed out because the emotions were running high along with the full moon swings. Let me just say it didn't end pretty and Scott, Stiles, and I had to run and track the little wolf down.
"Hey! Don't you even start! You come to me with disturbing questions because of Malia! So I don't wanna hear it!" I said pointing at him.
"Completely different scenario." He said. I gaped at him.
"OH MY GOD! How is that different?" I demanded putting my hands onto my hips.
"Cause you're both wolves. I'm human and she's a wolf." He said.
"We fucked to but you know I guess that doesn't count!" I said. Things then got quiet really quick and Stiles and I stared at each other red in the faces.
"You know I'm not even going to ask." Liam said.
"You shouldn't." Stiles, Scott, and I said together.
"Anyway! Still not different. Next time you come to me asking questions I'll go on about our sex lives and see how they compare!" I hissed.
"I'll bring a note pad and take notes." Stiles said. I just rolled my eyes.
"And here are the great funny arguments of Stiles and Sky for you." Scott commented.
"You know what I just realized. You all start with an S. The freaking musketeers…" Liam said and I smiled at him.
"You sure you're okay?" Scott asked.
"It won't happen again." Liam promised.
"You're in complete and total control?" Scott asked.
"Yeah," Liam said. I nodded and they took the chains and headed back to the jeep. I inhaled deeply and smelled blood. I glanced over at him and he opened up his hands slowly and I saw he had dug his nails into his hands. I smiled at him and put my hand on his shoulder. He glanced over at me.
"It'll get easier." I murmured giving him a peck on the cheek before following Scott and Stiles. When I got into the jeep Stiles glanced over at me.
"Are you driving yourself to senior scribe?" He asked. I nodded.
"So I'm taking you home alright. And you'll meet us at the school." He said. I nodded. So, for whatever reason Stiles was really, really on my ass about doing Senior Scribe with everyone. Like he had been ever since we all had figured out we had passed junior year. I don't know why he was so hyped about it, or why for the fact he was so adamant about us all doing it to. He didn't want anyone from the group to miss out on Senior Scribe.
"Yes oh Stilinski I will. I promise." I smiled as I stuck my head between the seats.
"Good because if you don't. I'm going to hunt you down and knock you out with some wolfsbane and drag your little wolf ass there." He said pointing his finger at me. I had to go cross-eyed to see his finger. I smiled showing my teeth and he pulled his finger away from me quickly. I chuckled and smiled at him as I relaxed back into the seat. Stiles started the jeep after Liam got in and we headed on down the road. He asking about Senior Scribe, which technically we weren't allowed to tell him because he was an underclassmen.
"Is it a party?" He asked.
"No," I said.
"Then what's at midnight?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and shook my eyes. Liam poked me in the side earning a squeak from me but that's it. He shook his head at me and I smiled.
"Your bedtime." Stiles said.
"Play nice Stiles." I purred.
"Why aren't the girls going?" He asked. I looked at him.
"Besides Sky." He added and I just chuckled.
"They're meeting us there, okay?" He said.
"Time to stop asking all the questions babe. It's a senior thing you'll know when you get there." I said as I took his hand and pulled him back against the seats. He slung his arm around my shoulders.
"Are you guys having troubles with your phones?" Scott asked as he fiddled with his. I glanced down at my phone saying I had no service. I pulled it out of my pocket fully and started flicking the back of it.
"I don't have service." I said as Stiles's jeep died. I glanced up confused as the whole electrical system went out. I couldn't really say this surprised me because his jeep died a lot considering how old it was. We kept trying to get him to get a new one but the kid wouldn't part with it no matter what we said to him.
"Really?" I muttered.
"Oh, what the hell?" Stiles asked as the lights flickered out. We came to a stop.
"Out of gas?" Liam asked.
"No it's electrical. Probably the alternator again." He said as him and Scott got out of the jeep. I stayed in the jeep with Liam and he glanced over at me and I noticed claws. I kissed his hand lightly and they went away. I chuckled and kissed him lightly on the lips and he kissed back roughly. I pushed him back slightly. He gave me this pleading look and I just gave him this knowing look. He stuck out his lip a little and I just laughed at him smiling. He had gotten that from me when I tried to get my way when it came to certain things.
"Remember what happened last time wolfie." I muttered. He just smiled at me until we heard something hit behind us. We glanced back to see nothing. I put my chin back down on the top of the backseat curious.
"Guys." Liam called out as I watched out the back window. Right when he turned around I saw a lightning bolt hit the ground about 10 feet from where we were sitting. I let out a scream.
"Guys!" Liam yelled.
"Yeah give us a second please and for the love of god I don't want you two doing anything that makes Sky scream like that in my car! It's just gross." Stiles yelled and I glared at him. I crawled to the front and leaned out the window. Stiles glanced up at me with this smile on his face and I just glared at him. The worst part about this situation was that he knew what I sounded like and it was nothing close to that.
"Hurry the fuck up then. I saw a lightning bolt come to close for comfort!" I snapped right before another hit five feet from where Stiles and Scott were standing. They turned startled and I looked at them as the jeep came to life.
"That was close." Scott said.
"Very close." Stiles agreed.
"Yes now that we all agree that it was FREAKING CLOSE! Let's get the hell out of dodge!" I said quickly. Stiles closed the hood and they both jumped in after I jumped back into the back seat. I stuck my head between the seats.
"Plus I don't sound like that." I said glaring at Stiles. He just smiled at me and I growled at him as I sat back in my seat. They took me home because I wanted to drive myself before they got Malia. It's not like I had a beef with Malia anymore it's just that I didn't want to be squished in the back seat between Liam and Malia. I pecked Liam on the lips lightly before getting out and waving to them. I watched them pull out and I saw Max leaning against the garage door.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Look for mine." He chuckled as he threw me a blue sharpie. I glanced down at it confused before glancing up at him. I knew they would have one there, so why take it?
"We've always done blue. Luna gave it to me after her senior year and said take it senior scribe. I didn't know what it meant until then but it was cool. I saw her initials and the light bulb flickered on." He said. I laughed and nodded as he tossed my keys to me. I heard the door open from the front and looked to see Luna.
"Don't lose it either, the twins still have to use it." She said. I nodded.
"Don't worry I won't." I said as I crawled into my car. I started it up to hear the purr of my engine before I backed out of the driveway and headed for school. I was halfway there when it started to pour. I groaned and just shook my head.
"Of course it would rain before I got the chance to get under the roof." I muttered. I took a deep breath and grabbed my keys. I pushed the door open quickly and slammed it close locking it behind me before running for the covered roof by the school. I waited for a moment before I heard footsteps behind me. I saw Malia and Stiles come up the stairs and join me.
"Hey you see Scott or Kira?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Not yet I haven't." I said.
"We haven't heard from them or Lydia." Stiles said.
"And I don't know if I passed." Malia said glancing at her phone.
"Summer school?" I asked. She glanced up and looked over at Stiles.
"Sorry I overheard the conversation that day." I muttered looking a little guilty. She rolled her eyes but nodded.
"I don't want to do this if I'm not a senior." She said. I looked over at her and then glanced over at Stiles and I watched his muscles in his back tense up. He was worrying about something I could tell. Malia walked up behind him and sniffed him. He turned around and glanced at her confused.
"What's wrong with you? You smell weird." She asked.
"Yeah, it's called anxiety. You should be used to that scent by now since it's pretty much a constant state for me." Stiles said. I shrugged and nodded. This was true, I had always been used to it because between Stiles and I, I don't know who had more anxiety anymore.
"This is true." I muttered.
"Why is this thing so important to you?" She asked.
"It's not. It's not. It's uh…I don't know. Maybe it is." He muttered. I glanced over at him with a smile. I knew it was because he was harping about it before I even came back to Beacon Hills how I needed to come back before senior year so I could do that with them. He glanced over at me and I just shook my head at him knowing that he was lying.
"I asked my dad the other day about his high school friends. Guess how many he still talks to? None. Not a single one. You know, these were his best-friends and he just lost touch with them. So I started to think about things like I always do." He said.
"Over thinking." I muttered.
"Obsessively." Malia said.
"Yeah, and so I'm thinking what if…what if Scott's my best-friend now but later on he's not. And the same with Sky." He said looking at me. I glanced up at him.
"Doesn't that just happen sometimes?" Malia asked.
"Yeah, because we let it happen." I whispered thinking about it as a frown made its way onto my face. I didn't like the way that Stiles was thinking right now. It was this kind of stuff that gave him panic attacks and gave me freak outs because I hated being separate from Scott and Stiles.
"Yeah, how come when we graduate we're just expected to go our separate ways? If I've already found the best people in my life why aren't I not trying to stay with them?" He asked.
"Well, I thought that was the plan. The dream." She said.
"The vision. Don't mock the vision." He said.
"I like the vision" She said getting closer and that's when I felt nauseous.
"Especially if I'm part of it." She said.
"Yeah, I'm going to be way over here throwing up excuse me." I muttered stepping away from them to give them their lovey dovey time without me ruining it by smart-ass comments because apparently Stiles and I tend to do that to each other when we either have Malia and or Liam with us. I was still tuning into their conversation until I heard them kiss then I shut it down quickly.
"You won't lose us Stilinski. You have had Scott and me since elementary school. Hell even before that. The only reason you would lose us if we died and I don't think we plan on doing that anytime soon sooo yeah." I muttered as I heard someone coming. I squinted in the darkness to see Liam running. I looked at him confused.
"Liam what are you doing?" I asked as I grabbed him before he got to Malia and Stiles who were already prepared for him since Malia heard him.
"Scott's in trouble." He panted. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck and then I stood still for a moment and I sensed it. There was something wrong with Scott.
