CHAPTER 4: The Bite
After Stiles left, Bella had fallen asleep on her bed. She woke up to a worried Scott laying over her bed. "Oh my god Scott! You scared me!" Bella cried.
"Bella," Scott began. "Now is not the time. While you were asleep I went to the woods with Stiles to check out this dead body. Now I got bit by something."
Bella laughed sarcastically, "Very funny Scott. Now seriously why are you in my room?"
"I'm serious!" Scott exclaimed. "I think I was bit by some sort of wolf." He pulled up his shirt to reveal a bandaid. He slowly peeled off the bandaid to reveal a bloody bite.
"Oh my god!" Bella yelled.
Scott pulled down his shirt to cover it back up. "See I told you." Scott said smugly. "But you can't tell Mom. She'll kill me if she knew I was in the woods tonight."
"How late have you been out?" Bella looked at the clock. It read 2:37 AM. She groaned. "Scott can we finish this tomorrow?"
"Ugh," Scott cried. "Fine but promise not to tell anyone about this." He looked over at Bella who was already fast asleep. He chuckled softly to himself, kissed her cheek, and went to his room.
The next morning Bella woke up as soon as her alarm went off. She showered and pulled on high-waisted shorts, a white crop top, and her signature black converse high tops. She pulled her hair in a messy bun and slipped aviator sunglasses over her eyes. Bella went downtstairs, looking for Scott, before remembering that he had early morning lacrosse practice with Stiles.
Bella sighed and texted Daisy. She didn't have a car to drive herself around yet, so she depended on her mom, Stiles, and Daisy for rides.
Five minutes later, Daisy pulled up with Lydia in the front seat and Allison in the back. Bella smiled and got into the back next to Allison.
The girls drove to school laughing and singing along to the radio.
The four got to school and saw the lacrosse practice going on. Jackson was playing goalie and going against Scott when they got there. Bella cheered, "GO SCOTT!" He smiled at her. Scott made a few quick moves and scored a goal against Jackson. Bella and Allison both cheered for him. When did Scott get so good? Bella thought.
Bella and Daisy headed to their lockers after the practice was over. Bella opened her locker and pulled books from it. She closed her locker shut and spotted Isaac by himself at his locker. She walked up to him and exclaimed, "Hey!" Isaac looked behind him to see if Bella was talking to someone else. "I'm talking to you silly!" Bella tapped his nose and laughed.
Isaac nervously spoke, "Oh h-hey Bella." He scratched the back of his neck. He never knew what to say to Bella.
"I was just wondering if you want to study together after school today?" Bella sweetly asked.
"Oh," Isaac's face lit up. "I would l-love to." Then his face slowly dropped. "But I have lacrosse practice after school again."
"That's okay!" Bella exclaimed. "I'll watch and cheer you on!" She smiled at Isaac.
Isaac smiled back. "That'd be great."
"See you later!" Bella cried. She waved at him as she walked past him down the hall.
Isaac stared back at her from his locker. Bella actually wanted to hang out with him! Maybe I do have a good chance with her. Isaac thought. He glanced dreamily at her one last time before closing his locker and walking to his class
Stiles had come back from lacrosse practice and saw the whole thing. What was Bella doing talking to Isaac? Does she like him or something? Stiles had spotted Isaac staring at Bella. He looks at her the same way that I do. He looks at her like he's in love. There's no way Lahey is going to get my girl.
