[ Chapter Three ]
Why? That is the only question going through my head right now. Just why? Why do I have to endure this pain I'm currently going through. If only I had used my brain for once, then I wouldn't be feeling the ache. I know why, because I'm so freaking stupid to not think of bringing an extra pair of shoes. That why!
Instead I decided to just leave my house wearing the world's tallest high heels, well at least that's how they felt at the moment. I could brought some nice sandals, I knew that I would be helping Lydia out up the finishing touches of the party before it began. That's why she picked me up and hour earlier. That was about four hours ago, the party was now going on full blast. People were out by the pool talking and drinking. Some were inside doing pretty much the same, and of course, you had your occasional hormonal couple in the back corner sucking each other's faces off.
I had just finished going around, for what seemed like the 30th time tonight, handing out drinks and all the while, trying not to get them spilled on me. I had decided to wear some nice black tight skinny jeans and a white cami-like flowy blouse with a nice jacket over it. Oh, and the heels that are currently killing me.
I set the tray, that had the drinks on, down on a near by table. I stood up and began to look around. People seemed to be having a good time and there were still more people arriving. Just then, the front door opens revealing Allison and Scott. I smile at the two and walk up to them. "Hey, you two!...You look nice and I like what you did with your hair," I say stopping in front of them.
"Hey! And uhm thanks." Allison says back, while Scott smiles and waves. "Well, welcome you too. Anyways, I won't hold you up. Drinks are on the table or kitchen, if you want any…...Now go have some fun." I tell both of them and winking at the end at Allison. She just smiles looking down before her and Scott make their way to the back yard/pool area. Now time for me to go crazy!
I make my way to the pool area as well. On my way out I see Lydia and Jackson practically having sex against a pillar. I just roll my eyes and search the crowd. Finding a cute guy a few feet away from me, I make my way over to him. "Hey! You want to dance?!" I yell over the loud music, he nods and I grab him by the hand heading to the makeshift dancing area. We are dancing for some time and I'm really having a good time to be quite honest. I kept swaying to the music and letting go. Suddenly the guys hand begins to creep down to my ass. I push it away, but he keeps doing it until he finally gets ahold of it. I stop dancing and step away from him, "You perv!" I say before turning around and making my way back inside. I need a drink.
Once inside, I see Danny standing next to the drinks table, talking to some of his friends. "Danny-boo!" I say hugging him. He chuckles and hugs me back. "Hey Adri! I haven't seen you all night. Where have you been?" He asks letting me go. "Dancing with a perv…" I reach for a drink and taking a sip out of it. I talk with Danny for a while longer when someone from across the room catches my eye. I see Stiles talking with a group of guys. I didn't know he was coming? As if feeling my stare, he looks to where I'm at. He smiles and waves and I return the gesture. Suddenly my sight of Stiles was cut by Scott practically pushing his way through the crowd. Allison was not far behind him and Stiles followed.
"Hey Danny?... I'll see you later or tomorrow , okay?" Danny just nodded his head giving me a hug.
I made my way outside as fast as I could in these stupid heels and down the steps leading to Lydia's front door. In the distance I see Allison get into a black camaro, that I know for sure is not Scott's, and drive away. Stiles is standing in the driveway looking in the direction the car drove off too.
"What happened? Who was that person Allison drove away with?" I asked stiles as I stopped next to him looking at the retreating car in the distance. Instead of answering Stiles just began to mumble to himself about having to look for Scott and something about the full moon.
"What are you talking about? Scott left, right? So he must be at his house or something…" Stiles finally stopped mumbling and looked at me.
"Yeah, your probably right…..Uhm did you need a...a r-ride?" He looked to the ground and kicked at it a little shy.
"Would you really be willing to give me one? I mean you don't have to, Lydia was suppose to take me home, but she's a little preoccupied at the moment." I replied thinking about how Jackson was most likely staying over, meaning I could not count on Lydia for a ride back home. "Of course! Now come on my car is over here...You're not forgetting anything, are you?"
"No, I'm good and thank you." We walked a little more down the street until we stopped in front of a light blue jeep. He opened the door for me to get in. I climbed in and said a quite thanks before putting the seatbelt on.
"You mind if I make a quick stop at Scott's house?...Just to make sure he's alright."
"It's okay, I don't mind."
We have now been driving for about five minutes and those five minute feel like five hours with the awkwardness in the car. None of us was saying anything, not even making a sound. The only sound was that of the car. Both Stiles and I kept glancing at each other, which didn't help the Situation. Maybe I should say something….
"Why?" He suddenly asked, catching me off guard.
"Why, what?" I was confused at the random simple word question.
"Why did you start talking to me...to both Scott and I? You've never have before, so why now?" That was, to be completely honest, a very good question. A question, that if I think about, didn't know the answer to. Maybe it's because I have a couple of classes with both of them or because…...I don't know.
"I'm not sure why I never have before….Is it a bad thing that I'm? Would you like me to stop talking to you?"
"N-no, no of course I don't want you to stop talking to me..to us. It's just that you and Lydia are the most popular girls in school. Therefore, I'm guessing, it's against some 'clique' law to talk to nobodies." I scrunched up my eyebrows together and turned my head to look at him. Why would he think such a thing?
"First of all, there's no law," I laughed a little, "and secondly, I'm allowed to talk to whoever I want- even if I'm in this 'clique' you talk about. You guys are real nice people, so I like talking to you guys. Maybe we could be friends?"
He stayed quiet for a while before responding with a cute smile, "I'd really like that. Friends."
We then pulled up to a nice two-story house. Stiles parked the car then turned to me telling me that he won't take long and then he ran up to the house. I sat there just going over the conversation we just had.
Do people think that just because we're popular that we think of ourselves better than everyone else? I've never seen anyone as not not being at the same level as myself, but then again, it never came across my mind. I always tried be best to be nice to everyone. Lydia just didn't pay much attention to her surroundings, so she didn't really notice people. Danny was just a complete sweetheart, everyone loved him. Jackson in the other hand, I could understand. He was a complete douchebag at times. He thinks of himself higher than others, and being captain on the lacrosse team does not help. Before I could keep pondering on the situation, something caught my attention.
Someone had jumped out of a window from the second floor. The person landed on his feet with the knees bended and on hand to help land, he was also shirtless. Upon a closer look, I noticed that it was Scott. How he was able to jump out of a two story window was beyond me. He suddenly lifted his head up towards the sky and growled.
I was freaked out. Though, what freaked me out was not the growl-that played a small role- what freaked me out was his eyes glowing yellow. One second they looked to be normal and the next they're glowing. Plus, his face looked a lot more different too. I couldn't see anything else because he took of in the direction of the preserve.
When Stiles returned back he looked to be a hurry. He then looked at me, "Hey you okay?"
"Yeah, I-i'm fine. Ready to go?" I decided not to say anything about what I had seen a moment ago.
"Okay, but we need to make another pit stop at Allison's house. Scott asked me to...uhm...to check on her….because of the way he just left. You know he wasn't feeling so well." I just nodded my head and with that we were off to Allison's.
After we arrived at Allison's house, Stiles ran out of the jeep and pounded at her front door. I sat in the jeep looking as Mrs. Argent opened the door and Stiles talking to her. Allison appeared a few seconds later and talked to him too. Stiles eventually brought me home and left after an awkward goodbye-in my part- and a goodbye. To say I slept like a baby that night, would be a complete and utter lie. I spent most of the night going over what I had seen at the McCall house with Scott.
***TW***
The rest of the weekend and on Monday, during school, I just kept to myself. I really didn't talk to anyone at all and would only nod or give a small smile when I was talked to. Every class I had with Scott, I tried to avoid looking at him.
I talked a little with Allison about why she left the party. She told me that Scott had just walked away not looking good. So when he went after him he had already driven way and then one of his friends, Derek Hale, offered her a ride home which she agreed to. I told her that I accompanied Stiles over to Scott's house and that he wasn't feeling good indeed. I didn't tell her either about what I saw, for now I will just keep it to myself; until I know what I saw. We'll see how this week goes by…
❉ Third Person POV ❉
That same day after school, Scott walked to the locker rooms to get ready for lacrosse practice. Though, he seemed to be out of it as well as scared and worried. Seeing his friend in such condition, Stiles- who was all ready for practice- stopped and looked at his now shirtless friend. He thought that perhaps his bestfriend was still bummed for what had happened to him and Allison on friday.
"Did you apologize to Allison?" He asked.
"Yeah…"
"So did she give you a second chance or….."
"Yeah… "
"Yeah? Alright, so everything's good!" He said happy for his friend. So he turned to leave, until he heard Scott's voice again.
"No…."
"No?" At this point Stiles didn't see why the teen wolf in front of him looked out of it. wasn't he suppose to be happy he got a second chance?
"Remember….the hunters. Her dad's one of them…," Scott replied, remembering what had happened friday night when he left Stiles at his house and jumped out the window, to go look for Allison. It was all because he thinks Derek Hale is the alpha and responsible one for giving him the bite. Therefore, thought Allison was in danger when he learned from Stiles that Derek gave her a ride after the party. Which then resulted in him being attacked by werewolf hunters. Luckily for him, Derek showed up and managed to help him before the hunters got to him and then explained some things, and he is still not sure if Derek is or is not being the alpha.
"Her dad?"
"Shot me with…."
"Allison's father?" Stiles asked not being sure he heard right.
"With a crossbow…"
Stiles remained silent for a moment thinking before asking once again, "Allison's fath…"
"Yes, her father! Oh my god…" Scott cut off. Scott then began a little freak out moment. Stiles rushed to his friend slapping his face gently to get him to focus. "Oh my god, hey, hey you're okay? He didn't recognize you, right?" Stiles tried to make his friend see it was all okay.
"No, I don't think so…"
"Does she know about him?"
"I don't know...what if she does? It's gonna kill me man…"Stiles then got Scott to focus on the lacrosse practice they had and that everything would be all right.
↠ Adri's POV ↞
I decided to stay and watch the after school lacrosse practice, hoping maybe I could try to figure some things out and see if I could catch Scott doing something un-normal. I sat alone in one of the bleachers and looked out at the fields as the boys began to get ready. Coach Finstock told Jackson to grab a long stick because he was going to try and block the others from scoring. The other boys were all lined up a single file line a few feet away from Jackson and had their stick in hand. Scott of course was the first in line, I could see that he wasn't completely focused on the practice.
"McCall, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" He instructs blowing his whistle. That seems to get his attention. Scott get the ball into his stick net and runs towards Jackson. I sit up straighter to see what the outcome will be. When Scott reaches him, Jackson shoves him hard making him lift off the ground before landing on his back.
Coach walk up to where Scott is now standing laughing sarcastically. "My grandmother can move faster than that, and she's dead! Do you think you could move faster than the corps of my dead grandmother?"
"Yes, coach."
"I can't hear you."
"Yes, coach!" Scott replies louder.
"Then do it again!"
I watch as got gets back into position and readies himself once again. Finstock blows his whistles and Scott takes off with more determination. He rushes right into Jackson with his shoulder sending Jackson to the ground this time. Jackson holds his shoulder as he rolls around in pain. Scott then grabs his head and fall to the ground landing on all four. Coach, along with a couple of players, rush to check on Jackson as Stiles goes to his friend. I see as Stiles kneels next to Scott and they begin to whisper something to eat other before running out of the field. I stand up and follow behind keeping a distance. This was my chance to finally gets some answers as to what the hell is going on with McCall or if I just imagined everything.
I'm walking down the empty school hallway that leads to the boys locker room. Getting closer I could hear Scott screaming to someone, most likely Stiles, to get away from him; that is then followed by loud banging. I run as fast as I can to see what was going on. I run some more until I'm standing at the door way. "Stiles? Scott?" I ask when I don't see anyone. Suddenly I hear growling coming from above. I look up to see Scott in a crouching position on the lockers, with glowing yellow eyes and he's growling. I stand there not knowing what to do but just stare.
"Shit! Adri, move! Go!" Stiles says as he comes from behind some lockers and towards me. He reaches me and stands in front of me in a protective way. Scott then leaps from the lockers he is on towards where Stiles and I stood. Upon seeing this Stiles grabs a hold of a fire extinguisher spraying it all over Scott.
"What the HELL is going on!"
