The next morning I woke up to ten text messages from Jay. He was telling me how he overrated, that he was sorry, and that he loved me. I'll deal with him later, I told myself. Jay was a good guy but most of the time he only seemed to care about himself. I got out of bed and got ready for the day.
"Stiles" I yelled up the stairs "Let's go"
"Calm your sassy pants." He yelled back "I'm coming"
"Well hurry up" I yelled once more.
"I said I'm coming," He said finally coming down the stairs " You just want to get to school so that you can suck on Jay's face."
After Stiles somehow tripped on the last step (which had nothing to do with my foot being there, I'll have you know) we went to school. Stiles didn't realize how wrong he was. I didn't want to see Jay after last night. I wanted to tell Stiles about it but then he would ask how I got home. Something tells me that he would not approve of me being around Derek. But, it's not like anything happened right. But I can't help but feel kind of guilty.
"Jas!" Jay shouted at me while I was at my locker before first period.
"What do you want Jay?" I ask him without even looking at him.
"For you to talk to me," He said, "Please, tell me what it's going to take for you to forgive me?"
"Figure it out on your own" I told him then walk away leaving him at my locker.
After school that day, I was helping Stiles research stuff to help Scott. The lab in LA had reported back they found wolf hairs on the body. Which has made Stiles think that his joke, not some much of a joke. I keep thinking about what Derek had said, how I didn't know what could be in the woods. Did he mean werewolves? Was Scott a werewolf? What was Derek?
I jump from the bed where I was reading a book about the history of lycanthropy when the was a loud knock on the door.
"Get in. You gotta see this thing. I've been up all night reading - websites, books. All this information." Stiles said when he realize that it was just Scott.
"How much Adderall have you had today?" Scott asked while laughing.
"A lot. Doesn't matter. Okay, just listen." Stiles told him.
"Oh, is this about the body? Did they find out who did it" Scott asked not taking Stiles seriously.
"No, they're still questioning people, even Derek Hale," Stiles explained. I didn't know that. Could Derek be a murder?
"Oh, the guy in the woods that we saw the other day," Scott said.
"Yeah! Yes. But that's not it, ok" Stiles exclaimed.
"What, then?" Scott asked confused.
"Remember the joke from the other day? Not a joke anymore." Stiles tried to explain, "The wolf - the bite in the woods. I started doing all this reading. Do you even know why a wolf howls?"
"Should I?" Scott asked more confused.
"It's a signal, okay? When a wolf's alone, it howls to signal its location to the rest of the pack," Stiles continued to explain "So if you heard a wolf howling, that means others could have been nearby. Maybe even a whole pack of them."
"A whole pack of wolves?" Scott asked.
"No - Werewolves." Stiles corrected him.
"Are you seriously wasting my time with this? You know I'm picking up Allison in an hour." Scott said jumping up.
"Scott, listen to him," I told him.
"You believe this, Jas?" Scott asked me.
"Yes, I do," I told him shocked that he would think that Stiles was making this up.
"I saw you on the field today, Scott. Okay, what you did wasn't just amazing, all right? It was impossible." Stiles said getting Scott's attention back.
"Yeah, so I made a good shot." Scott tried to weakly explain.
"No, you made an incredible shot, I mean - The way you moved, your speed, your reflexes. Y'know, People can't just suddenly do that overnight." Stiles explained. "And there's the vision and the senses, and don't even think I don't notice that you don't need your inhaler anymore."
"Okay! Dude, I can't think about this now. We'll talk tomorrow." Scott told him.
"Tomorrow?! What? No! The full moon's tonight. Don't you get it?" Stiles protested.
"What are you trying to do? I just made first line. I got a date with a girl who I can't believe wants to go out with me, and everything in my life is somehow perfect." Scott said angrily "Why are you trying to ruin it?"
"I'm trying to help. You're cursed, Scott." Stiles explained "You know, and it's not just the moon will cause you to physically change. It also just so happens to be when your bloodlust will be at its peak."
"Bloodlust?" Scott questioned.
"Yeah, your urge to kill," Stiles told him.
"I'm already starting to feel an urge to kill, Stiles," Scott said annoyed.
"You gotta hear this. "The change can be caused by anger or anything that raises your pulse." Stiles read from one of the pages "All right? I haven't seen anyone raise your pulse like Allison does. You gotta cancel this date. I'm gonna call her right now."
"What are you doing?" Scott asked when Stiles reached for his bag.
"I'm canceling the date," Stiles told him
"No, give it to me!" Scott yelled at Stiles while pushing him into the wall.
"Scott!" I yelled at him when he started to punch Stiles. He then instead knocked down the chair.
"I'm sorry. I - I gotta go get ready for that party" Scott said while turning to leave, "I'm sorry."
Stiles slammed his head into the wall out of frustration. I ran up to him from where I was sitting on the bed.
"Stiles! Are you okay?" I asked him.
"Yeah, Yeah, I'm fine." He said to me while picking up the chair. On the back of the chair, there were three scratch marks.
"What do we do now?" I asked Stiles.
"We have to go to that party," He told me.
At the party, I had ran into Jay. Who wanted to know why I had been ignoring him all day.
"Let's see maybe, just maybe," I told him " it was something to do with the fact you left me alone in the middle of the woods at night"
"I told you I was sorry," Jay told me.
"That's beside the point," I said angrily.
"Look I'm sorry I did that Jas baby, really I am," I told me while pushing my hair out of my face.
"I know you are Jay," I said looking down. I wasn't ready to forgive him yet, but I could feel my anger going away.
"Please forgive me, Jas," He said pulling me into a kiss.
"Fine, I guess," I said before kissing him again. "You have to cut the crap though Jay."
"What are you talking about?" He asked me.
"I can't keep breaking curfew," I told him. "Give my dad some time to cool off"
"I know babe." He told me " I love you, Jas."
"I love you too, Jay." I told him and then laid my head on his shoulder as we danced.
Then Scott ran past us looking like he was in pain. Allison was running after him looking confused.
"I have to go," I told Jay before running after them.
"Yo, Scott, you good?" Stiles yelled after Scott as I reached him.
"That's not good", I told stiles.
"Come on", He said while grabbing my arm to pull me with him.
"Allison. I'm a friend of Scott's." Derek Hale told Allison after Scott left. "My name's Derek."
Allison got in Derek's car with him while Stiles and I ran to his jeep to go to Scott's
"Go away." Scott yelled when Stiles knocked on his door.
"Scott, it's us. Let us in," Stiles begged him "Scott. we can help."
"No! Listen, you gotta find Allison." Scott protested.
"She's ok, Scott", I told him.
"She's fine, all right?" Stiles told him as well "I saw her get a ride from the party. She's totally fine, all right?"
"No, I think I know who it is," Scott told us.
"You just let us in. We can try -" Stiles tried again.
"It's Derek. Derek Hale is the werewolf. He's the one that bit me. He's the one that killed the girl in the woods." Scott told us.
"Scott, Derek's the one who drove Allison from the party," Stiles told him in a worried voice. There was a loud noise and Scott was gone.
"Scott!" Stiles yelled after him.
"We have to go check on Allison,", I told him.
Once again, We were running to the jeep. We drove to Allison's house. Stiles ran up to the door and started to knock on it like a madman.
"Hi, Mrs. Argent. Um - You have no idea who I am. I'm a friend of your daughter's." Stiles said when Allison's mom answered the door. " Uh ,Look, this is gonna sound kind of crazy, Really crazy, actually. You know what? Crazy doesn't even describe -
"Allison! It's for you." Allison's mom yelled at her.
"What are you guys doing here,", Allison asked us.
"When came to see if you were alright,", I told her.
"Yeah, I'm fine", She told us "I got a ride home from Scott's friend Derek. Why did Scott run off like that?"
"He had a good reason," Stiles told her. " Trust me, don't give up on him just yet."
"Scott's a good guy, Allison," I told her.
Stiles took me home before heading out to find Scott. I didn't realize how tired I was till I had laid down on my bed. Scott was a werewolf. So was Derek. Did that mean that Derek was the killer?
