Mason and I where hanging out on the bleachers, I was working on Eco homework while Mason had his math textbook out. I looked up from my paper to look at Mason he was leaning back against the row behind us his Math textbook in front of him and upside down. He was clearly checking out the other team and not actually doing homework. I smirked to myself watching him for a couple moments, this wasn't anything new. Mason and I had discovered the tactic last year, during free period or lunch when of the teams were practice we'd pretend to study and instead check them out and gossip.
After a couple moments of watching Mason I leaned towards him plucking the textbook from his hand. he looked at me giving me a confused look. I flipped the book around before handing it back to him with a playing smirk on my face. I could see the faintest bit of red creeping up on Mason's face, I covered my lips giggling at him.
Mason looked down avoiding my gaze, I gave him a small smile before turning back to my text book. I didn't get very far when I heard coach yelling for the boy's to move it, I tilted my head up to see Scott at the head of the group. Instead of stopped at the bench like usual he started towards Mason and I. I could see the bag of ice in his hand as he made his way over.
I placed my textbook and notebook down on the bleacher down beside me before walking down them towards Scott. My head was still throbbing slightly but I was no longer lightheaded, I made my way down the bleachers stopping in front of him.
" Stiles told me what happened are you okay?" I could hear the concern in Scott's voice
"I'm fine Scotty" I told him simply
"Alright but take it easy, and put this on your eye" Scott informed me handing me the ice as well as a cloth.
"You just worry about the game" I replied simply
"Alright wish me luck" Scott said lightly pulling me forward and kissing the top of my head
" Alright but I think Stiles needs it more" I teased as scott walked away
"Heard that!" Stiles called out from where he was standing next to Kira
I turned slightly to face them before I brought my hand up to my lips puckering them. Before kissing them and blowing it towards Stiles. He rolled his eyes laughing at me, I laughed back smiling at him. I turned around coming face to face with Liam, my body jerked slightly from the shock. Liam didn't say anything at first he just kinda looked at me, a look of self disappointment in his eyes.
"That looks like it hurts…" Liam's voice trailed off as he avoided eye contact
"Only when I blink a lot or laugh hard, but I'm sure Ricky's in a lot more pain the I am" I informed him tilting my head to the side to try and look at him
"Yeah.. sorry about that…" Liam said at the ground scratching his neck
I let out a soft sigh looking at him, Liam looked so much like a scared pup that had gotten scolded for chewing slippers. I took a step forward closing the gap more between Liam and I, reaching my hand forward I lightly cupped Liam face turning his head to look at me. He continued to avoid eye contact with me.
"You've got nothing to be sorry about Liam, if anything I should thank you." I told him softly
Liam looked up at me scrunching his brows confused by what I had just said.
"Why, I lost control.." He mumbled, I gave him a small comforting smile
"Why did you?" I questioned him, Liam looked taken back by the question as he looked away for a moment before looking at me again
" Because I got angry?" Liam said in more of a question the a statement, I raised a brow encouraging him to continue
" I got angry because I was too caught up being jealous about Theo, that I wasn't there beside you and you got hurt because of it and I couldn't let him get away with it" Liam told me honestly
"See, that's why you have no reason to be sorry, you were just protecting me" I told him gently
"But I'm still sorry I was a jerk about it.." Liam told me
"We'll just blame it on the moon" I teased
I leaned forward hugging Liam, he instantly hugged me back wrapping his arms firm yet gently around me. I gave Liam a light squeeze before pulling away from him with a smile that he returned.
"Now, go kick some little green monster's butts. Just not literally" I joked
"Will do, I'll even score a couple goals for you as an apology" Liam grinned cheekily before running off
I shook my head at him, it was going to be a battle on that field, I turned around to face the bleachers. As I carefully walked up them I lightly pressed the cloth wrapped ice against my swollen eye flinching at the touch. I took my seat next to Mason putting my text books away before watching the boy's warm up.
Mason and I sat there watching the boy's warm up gossiping about the cute ones. Eventually Lydia and Malia joined us both gushing over my eye. It took a while but I finally got through to them that I was fine. When the game finally started the bleachers were packed and the crowds was quieting down.
We sat watching the game Mason, Lydia and Malia all cheering when our boy's scored or almost scored. As I sat there quietly cheering on both teams in my head, knowing If I cheered out loud for either team It just caused more drama. each time Liam and Brett came close to each other my heart would stop I tensed up and gripped on to Mason. The two weren't trying to kill each other tonight but that doesn't mean they were being nice.
" So why aren't you cheering?" Theo's voice came from behind me causing me to jump, I turned looking over my head to face him
" Liam dislikes Brett more than he does you and Han an Brett are friends" Malia explained not turning around
"What she said" I said I added pointing over my shoulder at her, Theo just nodded his head in understandment.
I tuned back to watch the game and within a couple minutes Mason's phone was ringing, I looked over my shoulder at him. He answered the phone, It was clear it was him mom on the other end and wanted something from him, after saying goodbye Mason hung up the phone and sighed
"Mom got called in, I have to go babysit. Text me if anything good happens" Mason said annoyed
I gave him a sympathetic smile, Mason leaned over pulling me in for a hug I gave him a hug back. Mason released our hug taking his bag and standing up he gave a small wave to the girls before leaving the bleachers.
It had started raining shortly after Mason had left, By the time the game had finished it was pouring and the field was a mud pit. When the game was finally over and Beacon hills won in the last 5 seconds, surprisingly thanks to a Stiles hiccup and Liam's talent. The crowed was going nuts everyone running down off the bleachers to congratulate the boy's.
Malia was the first off the bleachers Lydia close behind and even Theo hurried down to. I stood at my spot on the bleachers knowing If I went down into the mob I'd just get injured more. I made my way down to the last row of bleachers, looking around for Stiles, Liam, Scott or Kira.
After a couple moments Liam showed up in front of me, his hair drenched with rain and sweat causing it hang in front of his face slightly. Liam pulled me off the bleachers and into a spinning hug. I let out an unintentional squeal as I giggled lifting my legs up , causing Liam to just chuckle at me. He gently placed me back down on the bleachers, both of us smiling.
"Did you see that last goal!" Liam said pumped
"Oh I saw it, Stiles classically tripping on air and knocking the ball away from Evans, and you saving the day" I grinned at him
"It was awesome" Liam gave himself a proud fist pump that I couldn't help but laugh at.
"It was pretty great" I replied still giggling, Liam spun around leaning forward slightly
"Hop on time for a victory lap" Liam told me.
I let out a small giggle leaning over Liam I wrapped my arms over his shoulder as I hopped on his back. Liam wrapped his arms around my legs as he stood up straight I kept one arm wrapped around his shoulders gently holding on. Liam started to jog a little as he made his way into the crowded even spinning around as other congratulated him. I couldn't stop from laughing as I looked around cheering for him
. When I spotted my brother and the others they were all smiling and laughing at me I waved before nudging Liam pointing where they were. Liam made his way over to the group as we got close I slid down off his back and bolted for Stiles screaming his name as I did. Stiles crouched slightly picking me up by my legs. I squealed holding onto his shoulders, Stiles attempted to spin tripping over his own foot and slipping on the wet grass he tripped backwards.
Hitting the ground with a thud I landed on top of Stiles mud splattering up from under him. The pack around us laughing Stiles and myself included. I pushed my hands against Stiles chest he had chunks of mud and grass sticking to his face, I'm sure I did to. I pretended to push myself off Stiles stealthily picking up a glob of mud as I did. I quickly squashed the mud into the side of Stiles face running my hand over it as I climbed off him.
"Congratulations Stinky-linski" I winked at him as got up
"You are going down Han" Stiles announced scooping up a chunk of mud
As Stiles wiped the mud towards me I dropped down crouching, the mud whipped by me and I heard Liam burst out laughing louder. Still crouching I spun to see who Stiles had hit, Theo was using his shirt to get the mud from his face.
"You're dead" He grumbled though the mud
Stiles climbed to his feet as Theo swooped down grabbing a scoop of mud and tossing it towards Stiles, instead It hit Kira. Which got Scott involved then Kira and eventually we were all throwing mud at each other except for Lydia as we ran around. Being the only one who managed to not be covered by mud Stiles and Malia made it a mission to get me.
I ducked behind Scott using him as a shield as I dodged Stiles and Malia's attacks. I was weaving between, Him and Liam and Kira. I felt one hand wrap around my waist another covered my mouth keeping me from screaming. I dropped the handful of mud I had eye wide trying to squirm from the grip. The arm around my waist was tight enough to restrain me but not enough to hurt at all.
I was carried away into the boy' locker room and when my feet finally touched the ground I spun quickly to see Theo grinning at me. I did the first thing that came to mind I raised my hand and attempted to punch him in the chest I flinched letting out a small yelp at Theo chuckled at my attempt to hurt him.
"What is wrong with you, Why would you do that. Can you not hear my freaking heart right now?!" I snapped at him, feeling my own heart pounding in my chest from the fright.
Theo playfully smirked at me grabbing my arm and spinning me in his pinning me lightly to his chest. Theo leaned down in my ear brushing the wet hair away from my shoulder.
"Yes, yes I did" He growled "Hannah banana" He joked as he started tickling me
I let out yelping squealed squirming around in his grip as I tried to pull myself away from him. Theo kept a firm grip on my as he tickled me not letting me move as I tried to escape. Theo laughed enjoying the torture he was releasing on me as I begged him to stop.
"Theeo, n.. n… n...o.. S...s..s..t...o..op" I stuttered out between breaths
"Are you going to make me Hammy?" He questioned teasingly
"y...y...y..yes" I stumbled out
Theo laughed at my failed attempted to threaten him. I fought against him trying to jab him with my elbow. As Theo went to spin me around and pin me to the wall his arm moved in front of me. I leaned forward biting his arm. Taken by surprise Theo pulled his arm away and I took the chance to escapes while i wiped the mud off my tongue.
"You bit me!" Theo said between laughs.
"I told you I'd stop you" I told him simply smirk
"I didn't think you'd bite" Theo teased
"I hang around with a bunch of canines what do you expect" I said with a hint of sass
"Turning into a wild thing are you?" Theo winked
I made an attempt at a howl sounding more like a drowning owl then any sort of wolf. Theo chuckled at me and I shrugged my shoulders heading for the door. As I started walking out of it Theo caught up and we made our way out of the school. Walking to the parking lot we found the pack waiting by the car's both Liam and Stiles with the same sour expression.
"Where have you two been?" Scott asked suspiciously
"Yeah Theo where" I asked him accusingly as I folded my arms over my chest sticking a hip and looking at him over my shoulder.
"I have no idea why you're giving me that look, I simply just saved you from Stiles and Malia" Theo said simply
"Then tickle tortured me" I added,
"You liked it" Theo teased winking at me, as I glared at him a low growl came from behind I knew it was Liam's.
"What he said" I huffed using my thumb to point back towards Liam
"Hannah sweetheart, we need to get going still need to drop Liam off before I get you home" Lydia informed from behind
"Okay Lydia, just a sec" I replied looking over my shoulder at her giving her a smile.
"Come on Liam" Lydia said practically dragging him around the jeep to her car as he glared at Theo. I shook my head at him.
"Bye Theo, I'll see you tomorrow" I said giving him a finger wave
"Or in your dreams" Theo teased
I didn't get a chance to say anything back Stiles had started dragging me around the car muttering to himself. I rolled my eyes Stiles let me go before he opened the driver side of the jeep and climbed in. Turning to face Lydia's car I could see her saying something to Liam who had his head down but I could still see the anger he was trying to mask. As I opened the passenger door Lydia stopped talking and faced forward.
Sitting in the passenger side I closed the door looking around the car the only sound coming from the engine. Lydia kept her eyes forward as Liam just looked down and thick haze of tense awkward silence filled the car. Doing my belt up Lydia started to drive, none of us made a sound the entire drive. Every time I looked in the rear view mirror at Liam he was looking every way but forward.
The twinge of pain that filled me at lunch was seeping it's way back up. I bit my inner lip sinking down in the seat as I wrapped my arms around me. For the first time since I got in the car Lydia looked over me a frown pulling at her lips before she focused on the road again. As Liam's house came into view Lydia slowed the car down slowly rolling to a stop in front of Liam's house. I looked at the rear view window again Liam was taking his bag as he opened the door.
"Bye Liam, See you tomorrow" I said with a cheery hopefully voice as I looked back at him.
"Mhmm" He said before closing the door a little more harshly the normal, causing me to flinch and sink lower in my seat as my eyes started to sting.
"Hey watch the door!" Lydia snapped at him
Liam just ignored her attitude as he stormed his way into his house slamming the door behind him. Lydia mumbled something under her breath before pulling back onto the road and driving me home. The ride was just as quiet as it was before but the air wasn't as tense then when liam was in the car. Lydia pulled up infront of our house, both mom's car and Scott's bike were home. I undid my belt and started to open the door.
"Hey Han" Lydia said softly
She reached her hand out touching mine stopping me from getting out of the car. I took in a deep breath all I really wanted to do was get inside and hide in my room and let the tears out. I slowly turned to look at Lydia the tears starting to form in my eyes.
"Don't mind Liam alright, He a dumb by he doesn't mean it okay.. So don't let it get to you" Lydia comforted me lightly squeezing my head
I forced a semi smile on my face giving her a small nod not really being able to talk at the moment. Lydia let my hand got letting me leave the car taking my bed I lightly closed the door and gave her small wave that she returned before driving away. I kept my head up as I walked towards the house not wanting my mom or brother see me cry.
My plan didn't go as well as I had hoped cause as soon as I had walked in that door Scott knew. I didn't know if he could smell, sense it or just read it on my face that I was upset, but he knew. I barely got the door closed when he had dropped his slice of pizza and was getting to his feet with the concerned brother look. I made quick steps to the stairs holding my hand up telling him to stop.
"I'm fine, no there is nothing you can do, no I don't want to talk about it. I'm going to have a shower and go to bed" I told him before scurrying upstairs not giving him time to argue
Reaching the top of the stairs I let out a breath I didn't notice I was holding on to. A tear escaped running down the side of my face. I reached my hand up wiping it away before scurrying off to my room to get clothes for my shower so I could retire for the night.
