A/N: So many views and follows! Thank you guys so much! I'm going to update this story as frequently as I can, and like I said before; FEEDBACK IS WELCOME HERE. I'd love to know what you all think, and suggestions are always considered. I hope you enjoy Chapter Two of I've Been.

Random note: Anna is pronounced Ah-Na. Like the Disney Princess. Yeah. Cool.

Oh yeah, and I still don't own Teen Wolf. Nor do I own a Stiles. Sigh, maybe one day my dork will come.


"A new scent? What kind of new scent?" Scott asked Stiles as they entered Beacon Hills High School. Stiles shrugged in response, giving a small "Dunno," before heading towards his locker tiredly. Scott could sense Stiles' exhaustion from a mile away, but he was facing problems of his own as well. He couldn't control his transformations.

"Did Derek say anything else? Like, who it could have been?" Scott questioned further. Stiles chuckled dryly.

"Yes Scott, Derek knows exactly who the scent was coming from and that's why he wants you to keep a nose out for whatever it is."

"Shut up."

"You asked man." Stiles laughed with the first genuine smile of the day. The pair walked into history, both realizing that the school had hired a new teacher after Mr. Westover was killed. Scott could feel the sincere excitement from their new teacher Mr. Yukimura. Stiles raised an eyebrow and smirked, already liking the man more than his other teachers. The bell rang, and the boys sat down.

"Good morning class, I'm Mr. Yukimura." He began with a gentle smile and a gesture to his name written on the chalkboard. "My family moved here three weeks ago, and my daughter Kira attends Beacon High. Even though she's been here for three weeks she doesn't talk about any of the other students nor does she bring them home to study. Please make her feel welcome."

At the back of the classroom, a very pretty Asian girl slumped forward in her seat and hid her blushing face in her open textbook. She mumbled something along the lines of "Was that necessary Dad?" or "Why did he have to say that…"

Scott turned to look at the embarrassed girl, and his heart began beating a little faster. It was like Allison all over again. Kira looked up after a few seconds, recovered from her father's embarrassment. But her face turned bright red again as she saw Scott staring at her. He gave her a small smile and a wave. She smiled quickly before hiding her face again.

Mr. Yukimura began to pick up the class where Mr. Westover had left off when a petite brunette girl ran into the classroom. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry…" she apologized before handing Mr. Yukimura a slip of paper. "It's my first day, and I walked into the wrong classroom…sorry…" she apologized again before heading towards the only open seat left. Mr. Yukimura smiled his kind smile. "No worries Miss Hinton. I'm glad Ms. Morrell was able to steer you in the right direction."

The brunette plopped down in the open seat behind Stiles, taking her notebook and a pencil out. She glanced at the Asian girl beside her before focusing herself again. She took a deep breath to calm her frazzled state, and once she was calm a warm smile appeared on her face. Her peaceful state was broken in a split second when the boy in front of her turned around and began to question her.

"Hinton, huh?" he asked with a smile. "Just Hinton?"

"Anna, actually." She chuckled, beginning to write down the notes Mr. Yukimura wrote on the board.

"Well Anna actually Hinton, I'm Stiles." He introduced himself. Anna was just about to laugh again when she heard the teacher clear his throat. He was waiting for them to finish their conversation, and his happy Asian man smile had faded. "Sorry, Mr. Yukimura. I was just making a new friend." She apologized with a hopeful smile.

"Let's hope my daughter can learn from you." He sighed, turning back to the board. Anna was left in peace after that.

Stiles leaned forward and poked Scott on the back of the neck. Scott nearly growled, but he managed to suppress the sound. "What, Stiles?" he whispered, turning to face him.

"Is that the new scent?" he asked, making a small gesture to the new girl behind him. Scott sniffed the air for a second, but then shook his head. "Nothing. She smells like every other girl: nice and perfume-y and clean."

"Like, supernatural perfume? Like if Derek were to wear a girl's perf—"

"No Stiles. Just normal girl smell." He interrupted. Stiles sighed, and both of them got back to their notes…or their ignoring the whole learning process in general.


"So Derek wants us to just sniff people who smell supernatural." An unenthusiastic Isaac stated at lunch. "He wants to find out whatever this new thing is." Scott corrected him, munching on his food.

Lydia Martin looked at her nails for a few seconds, deep in thought. "And what's Derek doing?" she asked a tad rudely. When no one could come up with an answer, she smirked. "Exactly."

"He just wants to make sure the pack isn't threatened." Stiles explained, stuffing some curly fries in his mouth. "Honestly, I'm not too worried about it. He didn't immediately smell werewolves, so they could be fairies for all we know. Or unicorns." He shrugged. Allison shifted in her seat, blinking a few times to keep herself focused. Lydia frowned. "Allison?"

"Sorry…I've been….seeing things lately." She muttered, returning her focus to her lunch. "It's nothing."

"It's not nothing." Scott defended her. He realized the awkward tension he had created, especially now that Isaac and Allison were on the verge of becoming an item. "I…weird stuff has been happening to me too. And Stiles, right?"

"Yeah." The shortest reply ever to come from Stiles Stilinski's mouth. It was obvious he wanted to change the subject.

"Like what?" Lydia prodded. Stiles snapped at her. "None of your business."

While the group argued over Stiles' well being and the scent issue, Isaac spotted two people he never thought he'd see at high school again.

"Ethan and Aiden are back?" The group turned to see them. The two charmers were talking to a girl, a girl who looked a lot like…

"Anna." Stiles said, recognizing her from their history class as well as some others. Lydia's frown deepened. "Anna who?"

"Anna Hinton." Scott confirmed, watching the twins' expressions as they sweet-talked the new girl. Scott and Isaac listened in on the conversation.

"…just moved here, huh?" Aiden spoke. Anna nodded.

"My family just got here last week, and today was everyone's first day of school."

"Everyone's?"

"Oh, my younger sister Elle started fifth grade today, and my older brother is somewhere around here." She explained. She looked past the twins and rolled her eyes. "Speak of the devil…"

The werewolves followed Anna's gaze to the boy walking across the lawn. He was tall, skinny, and wore glasses. His brown hair was disheveled, and he was certainly upset about something.

"Anna, there's a no-boys rule, remember?" he said, grabbing her by the arm and walking away from the twins.

"It was nice meeting you!" she said with a grin and a wave goodbye. As the siblings passed Scott and Isaac and the rest of the crew, they all suddenly found interest in their food.

"So….a new family?" Isaac prompted, stealing one of Stiles' fries.

"Do they smell supernatural?" Allison asked. Scott shook his head, as did Isaac.

"They smell like normal people."

"Agreed."

An awkward pause ensued, and lunch continued.


"You really didn't need to pull the 'No Boys' card, Riff." Anna muttered, taking her arm out of her older brother's grip. "They were cute."

"You heard Mom and Dad. No Boys, and limited friends. We can't get attached." He said robotically. Anna rolled her eyes.

"No attachments means no strings to cut, I know, I know." She mocked him. "It's not fair. I just want to stay in one place long enough to have a real friend. I haven't had one since—"

"Don't talk about her." Riff demanded. Anna bit her lip.

"Right, sorry. I'm sorry, I'll try to be less social." She promised for the moment. As they sat down to eat their lunches, Riff smirked.

"How'd Yukimura's class go?" he asked, unwrapping his sandwich.

"Well, our friend was there." She chuckled.

"Well, that's why we're here isn't it?" he joked.

Around the corner, Kira's heart was beating. She had nearly run into the Hinton siblings, and that was the last thing she needed. Her family had moved for a reason, after all. She cursed her luck before heading back to her father's classroom; the only safe haven she knew of.
