After the detention, Derek had insisted on driving me home. I honestly just looked at him as he dragged me over to his black Camaro. I have to admit, his car was pretty awesome but nothing beats my baby. My jeep is way better and I would have liked to take it home instead of leaving it in the school parking lot. Derek wouldn't listen to me though.
"Dude, I have my jeep! I can't just leave it". I cried as I was being pushed into his car.
"It will be fine". Was all Derek answered. He also buckled up my seat belt. I felt like a child!
"Come on, I can at least do up my own seat belt. I'm not dying!" Derek just looked at me as he got into the car. I had given up and decided to let him drive me home. I didn't really feel like getting beaten up by Derek Hale and the way he was looking at me made me feel that if I kept complaining he would do just that. I would come back to pick up the jeep tomorrow.
The ride home was uneventful. I tried to make conversation but he was back to his grunting and refusing to speak. He dropped me off and I didn't even get a goodbye. Yeah, this guy was strange.
The doorbell ringing woke me from such an awesome dream involving the world being taken over by werewolves. Imagine how much more fun the world but be, if only. Turning in my bed I saw my clock read 8am. What!? It must have been wrong; I mean who would actually be ringing the doorbell so early on a Saturday morning? I would just ignore it. Dads at work and nobody would want to speak to me other than Scott and I'm sure he wouldn't be up this early. I couldn't ignore the insistent visitor who kept ringing and ringing so I threw on my dressing gown and trumped down the stairs.
Opening the door, to my surprise, stood the one and only Derek Hale.
"Umm, h-hi?" I stammered.
"I've came to take you for your jeep. You should get dressed. I'll be in the car". I could practically see his eyes laughing at me. If eyes could laugh. If Derek Hale could even laugh. He turned to walk back down to his car, leaving me standing in the doorway.
"What? At this time of the morning? Are you INSANE?" I shouted to him.
"Get dressed". He didn't even bother to turn around when he answered me.
"FINE!" I shut the door and ran back up to get changed. The fact that I had just woken up meant that I had forgotten for a moment that I only had on my Captain America dressing gown. Great, just great. Of all the people in the world to see me like this it would be him. How embarrassing. I got dressed at such a pace that shouldn't be humanely possible. My back was niggling a little at how fast I was running around but it wasn't too bad. When I eventually got into the car, I was practically out of breath.
"You didn't have to take me for the jeep you know. I was planning on going over later for it. You know, at a more reasonable time".
"Hmm". Is all Derek responded with.
"I thought you would have more to say to me considering the fact that you dragged my ass out of bed at this time in the morning. It's not right! It's a Saturday and this time of the day should be banned I tell you! I mean who in their right mind would be up at this time willingly?" I ranted.
"Well for someone who is so set against being up this early, you sure do speak a lot". Derek grunted.
"I'm just making up for the lack of noise coming from you, sourwolf".
"Sour what?" Derek turned and scowled at me.
"Sourwolf. Look, it's not that I'm ungrateful or anything, but why are you helping me out?"
"How's your back?" He ignored the question.
"It's fine, thanks". I was taken aback by the hint of concern in his voice. "Wait, where are you taking me?" I asked when I realised that we weren't going in the direction of the school. Oh great, Derek Hale is going to kill me. He's going to freakin' kill me. He could have at least chosen a better time to kill me at least.
"Coffee. You are clearly not a morning person". Derek answered pulling into the diner.
"Pancakes?" I brightened up when he parked up the car.
"Coffee".
"I shouldn't drink coffee unless you want me hyped up to the max".
"Pancakes it is".
"YES!" I smiled at the clear panic in Dereks face at the idea of me being anymore hyper than my usual state. I was so excited for these pancakes that it made getting up to early worth it.
Derek just had a coffee whilst I had a plate full of pancakes. They were good pancakes, soooo good. I swear I had to hold back a groan when taking my first bite and Derek looked at me suspiciously.
"Want one?" I asked.
"No". Derek answered taking a gulp of his coffee.
I would like to say that the rest of the morning had flowed with great conversation, but it didn't. Obviously, considering I was with Derek Hale. It was more me speaking to Derek and him grunting back to me. It wasn't awkward though, thankfully. The only awkward moment was when it came to paying. I got out my money to pay for my pancakes but Derek refused to let me pay.
"Come on, let me pay! Or is this a date?" I joked as I put my money away, admitting defeat. Derek didn't even answer me; he just put down the money, stood up and waited for me to follow.
The ride to the school was silent from Derek and loud from me. Derek didn't speak once until we pulled up next to the jeep. I turned to say thanks for the lift and the pancakes when Derek actually smiled. I couldn't believe it. I had never seen this guy smile; it was such a weird thing to witness. But it was nice, he had a great smile.
"You should smile more". I told him as I opened the door to get out.
"Goodbye Stiles". Derek said in answer as his smile instantly fell away.
"See you soon". I winked as I got out and jogged over to the jeep. I watched him drive away and couldn't help but smile to myself. That guy was actually fun to be around, even if he hardly spoke. Just watching his reactions was interesting enough for me. And that smile. My God that smile was just breathtaking. I was definitely seeing this guy again soon if it was the death of me. I couldn't wait to get to know him more. This summer was going to be the best.
