"So you think he's a werewolf?" My voice rose slightly at the end. Could you blame me though? A guy that had one been my best friend and I had known since we were 4 was a freaking werewolf! "Who turned him?"
Derek shook his head slowing down at a red light "That's why you're here."
Great not only did I have to face everyone at Beacon Hills High, for the first time in 4 years today, I also had to be labelled the creepy chick that invades everyone's personal space. I groaned loudly as we pulled into the high school's parking lot. It was completely empty, being the middle of the day. "Can't I just go tomorrow? Coming to school halfway through the day is just going to draw more attention to me."
Derek flicked the engine off turning in his seat to give me his stern 'Don't mess with me' face. "The longer we wait the longer it's going to take to find the Alpha and without him we can't help your friend so get your ass in there and maybe smile a little? Your face screams 'stay the hell away from me'"
I raised my eyebrows at him "I'm unapproachable? Have you met yourself?"
Derek rolled his eyes nodding to the front doors of the school "Get out of my car, Woodley."
What a lovely person.
I grabbed my bag not sparing Derek another glance before I exited the car, walking up the stone steps.
Well here it goes. Nice to see you again Beacon Hills.
~01~
Because I had the best luck in the entire world (not) the bell rung as I was walking into the building. So when I entered I was engulfed in the strong stench of desperation for social validation… the smell of teenagers. Lovely.
My eyes were drawn directly to Scott and Stiles who were standing in front of a locker, speaking in hushed whispers but when they noticed me their conversation cut short as they chose to just gape at me. Great.
And if that wasn't unnerving enough when I turned to the other people in the hall I had noticed that it had gone quiet, them staring at me in a similar fashion to Scott and Stiles.
I held my head high as I made my way down the hall past Scott and Stiles, forcing myself not to look at them.
"Who is that? Why is everyone staring at her?" I heard a feminine voice whisper.
"That's Lux Woodley. She used to live here before her mother died." Another one whispered back… I knew that voice. Lydia. We used to be pretty good friends until I moved away and we lost contact. Well to be honest I had lost contact with everyone in Beacon Hills. I hadn't really planned on coming back here ever again.
I had nearly made it to my Economics classroom without anyone stopping me but my luck fell short when I heard Lydia's perky voice behind me. Damn it. "Lux? Is that you?"
I turned around plastering a large fake smile on my face "Lydia."
Lydia was standing with Jackson, who I'm guessing was her boyfriend now from their interlocked hands and a petite brunette that I didn't recognize. "Oh my god! It's been so long! How have you been?" She rattled off, pulling me into a hug.
Okay this was extremely uncomfortable.
I retracted myself from her grip "I'm doing okay."
"Why are you back?" she didn't give me a chance to reply before continuing "It doesn't matter anyway. You have missed so much! There's a party on Friday, you should come. We have so much catching up to do!"
I cleared my throat slightly as the unknown girl gave me a sympathetic look. "I'll think about it."
Lydia smiled at me brightly before pulling me into another uncomfortable hug. I so did not do hugs. "Okay! I'll talk to you after class. You should come to the lacrosse try outs. Jackson is the captain."
She sent him a smirk before pulling him into a kiss. Okay gross. Let's keep this behind closed doors thanks.
"Okay. I'm just gonna go to class." I spoke awkwardly before turning towards my classroom. I felt someone move to walk beside me.
"Do you have economics now?" the brunette girl asked me. I nodded and she smiled slightly "So do I. I'm Allison by the way. I'm new too, I just got here yesterday."
I smiled at Allison. I liked that she didn't know anything about my past. That she didn't stare at me. "Lux. And technically I'm not new… just coming back."
She nodded but didn't press for any details "Where were you living before this?"
"Seattle. My aunt is from up there."
She nodded but didn't say anything else as we entered the classroom moving towards the back and sitting down.
As soon as we were seated Stiles and Scott entered the room both of their eyes locking on me as soon as they were through the doorway. Great.
Scott moved to sit in front of Allison sending her a wide smile as Stiles sat in front of me next to him.
The teacher hadn't entered the classroom yet so when Stiles turned around to look at me I wasn't all that surprised. The part that did surprise me was the fact that he didn't say anything, he just stared.
I looked up from my book to glance at him with an arched eyebrow "Can I help you?"
"You're here." Good work, Stiles very articulate.
I turned back to my book "Good eye you've got there, Stilinski."
"I think what he means is why didn't you tell us you were moving back here?" Scott spoke up turning to looking at me too.
I sighed, closing the book completely looking up at them. Allison was glancing between the three of us in confusion. "I didn't know I was coming back until like yesterday and honestly I didn't know if you guys would care. It's not like we've really talked in the past 4 years."
"I've always cared about you." Stiles blurted out causing my eyes to shoot to him as he continued to stutter "I- I mean we. We've always cared about you. We were best friends."
I went to reply but the teacher walked in causing us to all turn to the front.
I guess getting them to trust me wouldn't be so hard after all.
~01~
So I was sitting on the freezing cold bench watching the lacrosse try outs with Allison and Lydia.
"So how do you and Scott know each other?" Allison asked breaking the silence.
I just shrugged "My dad and his mum used to work together at the hospital." To avoid anymore questions I continued "What about you?"
I saw the blush rush to her cheeks "W-what?"
"They're going to the party together tonight." Lydia spoke up smirking at her before turning to me "Who are you going with?"
I shot her a confused look "What do you mean? I just got here today, I'm not going with anyone."
"What about Stiles?" Allison asked causing me to nearly choke on my spit.
"Stiles?" I burst out appalled but seriously? Stiles? Stiles freaking Stilinski?
"What is a Stiles?" Lydia spoke up confused causing me to roll my eyes. I knew Lydia didn't pay attention to people that weren't popular but seriously,
Allison ignored her comment grinning at me "He seemed really into you in class I mean 'I've always cared about you'?" she dropped her voice a few octaves to imitate Stiles.
I rolled my eyes "We were best friends for like 8 years before I moved away, he just meant it as friends. Anyway I've never felt that way about him."
Allison just sent me a sly grin, shrugging "A lot of things can change in 4 years."
Well ain't that the truth. I thought to myself, sarcastically.
We all fell silent as the players took the field, Scott among them. Okay maybe not the best idea to have a supposed new werewolf on the field, especially on the day of full moon.
I still didn't believe that Scott could be a werewolf. I mean I had known this kid since we were in diapers. There was just no way.
Even though I was skeptical I still kept my gaze on Scott as the game went on. He came off to a rough start as Jackson rammed into him, sending him to the ground. I could see the rage rolling off him as he got back up. Not good.
Scott quickly grabbed the ball from Jackson maneuvering around players before launching himself over three players, shooting a goal.
Okay so either Scott had taken up gymnastics in the past few years or Derek was right.
I swallowed deeply. I hated when Derek was right.
~01~
Full moon tonight. Don't do anything stupid. – Derek
That was all Derek's message said. Wow I can feel the love pouring out of it.
Derek wasn't one for showing emotion but I knew he cared, so instead of retorting with a sarcastic comment, I just pocketed my phone in my black leather jacket before making my way down the stairs.
I had to stop myself from glancing around the house as I made my way to the front door. It had been 4 years since I had been inside it. Everything was exactly the same and I had to swallow the lump in my throat. I didn't have time to feel sorry for myself.
I quickly made my way down the road to Jackson's house where the party was at. His house was only a couple of blocks from mine so I could walk there. I wouldn't normally subject myself to the complete mundanity of a high school party but I knew Scott was going to be there with Allison and I'd rather he didn't kill the only real friend that I've made since I've come back here.
I heard a car pull up beside me about 10 minutes into the walk and I turned to see a powder blue jeep "Stiles?"
He sent me a grin, moving over to open the door "Want a ride?"
I thought about refusing knowing that he would have a lot of questions for me but I knew I had to get them to trust me again and I couldn't do that by ignoring them. So I just nodded pulling myself up into the jeep awkwardly. It was really high okay?
Stiles laughed slightly, grabbing my arm to help me up.
I sent him a mock glare as he peeled away from the curb. The next few moments were silent causing me to shift in my seat uncomfortably.
"Did I do something wrong?" It took me a few moments to realize what Stiles had said but when I did I turned to send him a confused look.
"What-" I started to reply but he cut me off.
"Why did you stop calling, why didn't you keep in contact? I called you every day for three months and all I can think is that I did or said something to make you ignore me."
I knew this was coming "You didn't do anything."
He didn't turn away from the road as he spoke "Then what? Were Scott and I not good enough for your new life?" His tone had a hint of anger in it. It didn't surprise me though. He had a right to be angry.
"I just needed time." I whispered.
"What four years of it?" he scoffed. "You're not the first person in the history of the world to lose their mother, Lux."
That hit me hard. I remembered the day that Stiles mother died, and I knew he thought it was his fault she had died. "I'm sorry. I just – I didn't just lose my mother that night I also lost my father and I guess I just needed time to figure out my life before… After that it had been months and I – I didn't know what to say, I didn't know if you'd even want to talk to me." And the fact that I was dealing with the fact that I could see freaking dead people.
Stiles was silent for a moment as we pulled into Jackson's street, car lined it so we had to park a few houses down. He turned the engine off causing complete silence to lapse.
"Have you gone to see him yet?"
Tears pricked at the sides of my eyes but I pushed them back. Tears made you weak and I couldn't afford to be weak. Not now. "No, and I don't plan to."
He sighed "Lux-"
"No." I cut him off sharply, wrenching the door open and stumbling out. I turned back to look at his taken-back look causing my eyes to soften "I'm sorry." And with that I turned my back on him and made my way into the party.
I couldn't think about that right now. I had to be focused on Scott.
And I wouldn't let him ruin my life anymore.
