Hayden's Diary Entry:
It's so hard to think different thoughts when you have disliked someone for so long. It becomes a part of you, an attachment that is hard to remove. But has my hate, really been hate, or a misguided attempt to forget. I feel so different around Liam lately, a jumble of emotions that are very much unwanted. When he kissed me yesterday, it was so unexpected but what was worse for me was that I liked it! Don't tell anyone that would be a hard thing for me to admit especially since I made it my life journey to hate Liam. Hopefully it is a virus, over fast.
The dark eyes that peered at Liam were intense and what made it even more bizarre was that despite the darkness of the bar he was able to see the blackness. He felt the long fingernails claw into the side of his hip and felt his insides unravel. He turned quickly clawing what he hoped what the predator, reaching for anything and everything. What he was reaching for was the big question. He felt a metal taste in his mouth, cold and unwavering.
Silently he whispered Scott's name to help him and although it seemed like forever, his wish was granted. Together Scott, Kira, and Liam were able to stop the creature, a mix of wolf, cheetah, and snake. Crazy to believe that no one had found them or heard them tear up the place. Before Liam could even process what had happened, three things in metal suits appeared, talking in electronic voices, almost as if to warn them that they were next. The human like things would phase in and out like they were disappearing every 5 seconds or so. Eerie and weird as hell. Not normally on the supernatural menu.
He had a restless night processing this thing with Hayden and the new threat. He decided the first problem was probably attributed to hormones and that the former was going to require much thought and research. Something was unleashing itself on Beacon Hills and Liam knew that his life would never be the same. Basically, when the alarm went off he was cranky and not in the mood for school.
By lunch, Liam was so focused on finding Scott and the gang that he just about plowed into Hayden again.
Her eyebrow arched a bit, "Now you are going for my lunch tray? Seriously Liam get a license."
Liam could feel the heat rush through his body. She always made him feel something, not always a good something like in this case. He was starved, worried, and sleep-deprived. His hands moved on top of hers, stabilizing the lunch tray. Hayden felt his intense blue eyes on hers, and she found herself staring at his spiked up hair noticing things about him like he was so cute almost beautiful really. Weird thoughts that she made disappear as quickly as they came. She could feel his annoyance which made her annoyed even more.
"Liam, you are the moodiest person I have ever met, one second dancing on the counter, next pissed at me because you almost knocked over my lunch tray."
He continued to stare at her, watching her nostrils flare slightly and her brown eyes squint. It made him think of childhood when Liam would take her lunch box and hide it. Suddenly, his smile spread, highlighting his white teeth and left dimple along with a boisterous laugh.
Her hand braced her hip before she turned and walked away flashing him a dirty look. "Boys". When he turned around to watch her walk away, he could only think of things that had nothing to do with the childhood Hayden. But, Scott appeared giving him other things to think about.
