Amy ran out of Gym class and into math; the last class of the day. Amy walked into class, smiling when she saw that the pack was clumped together on the far, right side of the room. Amy pushed her way out of the hall and into the class.
"Hey!" Erica waved Amy over.
"Hey," Amy sat down in the chair next to Erica.
"Michael is in this class." stated Erica, quietly not wasting any time on small talk.
"I know," Amy looked over to the direction of Michael, who was just walking into class, ",but, you said that he switched into all my classes, Erica. He's not in my gym class."
Erica's eyebrows flew back in her hair, "Obviously not, Amy. Honey, your gym class is an all-girls class. Michael couldn't have gotten in even if he had tried! I thought you knew that when I said 'all of your classes' that that excluded gym because of the whole gender thing." Erica laughed.
"Oh, hush." Amy playfully slapped Erica on the arm.
Mr. Lee entered the math class, slowly, holding a large stack of paper, "Class, say good-bye to your desk partner because I'm switching you up."
Amy sighed and looked over at Michael, she already knew that he would be her new seating partner. Amy looked up at Mr. Lee, ordering his class around. Amy glanced over at the pack, they were being split up; they already looked lost without one another. Scott looked over at Stiles, confused, as Mr. Lee separated them and put Stiles next to a stuck-up blonde named Janet and Scott next to Greenburg.
"Amy and Michael, back row."
Amy grabbed her books and stood up, heading over to the back with Michael.
"Did you set this up?" Michael asked Amy, nudging her with his shoulder.
Amy scowled, "No, believe me. I did not set this up."
"Are you sure?" Michael winked, "I think that you fell in love with me in the store the other day, and now you've paid the teachers for this seating arrangement."
Amy bit her tongue, "Michael, I have a boyfriend."
"Doesn't mean that you can't love me."
Amy rolled her eyes, was he serious? "Michael, can you just lay off? I really need to focus on this." Amy gestured to the math that Mr. Lee was writing on the black board.
Michael shrugged, "Whatever you say."
Amy sighed in relief and looked down at her math. An hour had passed when Mr. Lee left the class to go to the bathroom and Amy felt herself being watched. She looked over to her side and saw Michael, staring.
"Michael..."
"What?" Michael raised his hands in the air, in defense, "I didn't say anything!"
"Stop, Michael, seriously. This is getting ridiculous. I need to pay attention to this."
"Mr. Lee left the room, what are you paying attention to?" Michael asked.
"I need to copy the notes and you're making it difficult for me to concentrate when you're staring at me!"
"I was just admiring the view!" Michael grinned.
"Well, stop!" Amy threw her pencil on the desk in exasperation, "Just, screw off! Will you?"
Michael shrugged, "Whatever," he looked at Jackson, who was blatantly staring at the two, his eyes red and focused on Michael.
"There's too much noise in this room for people to be doing math! In this classroom we work to the bell and we don't have useless breaks!" Mr. Lee said, walking over to his desk to start grading work.
Amy felt Michael's breath on her shoulder, "Do you want to meet me at Starbucks, after school?
Amy laughed, gaining herself a dirty look from Mr. Lee. She turned around in her chair to look at Michael, "No, Michael. I do not."
Amy pulled out her phone and texted Erica,
Can u grab my stuff out of the locker after school?
Within a moment, Amy felt her phone vibrate,
Sure. Michael?
Amy clicked reply, Ya
Amy put her phone back in her pocket and looked at the clock, only one more minute until the bell rang. She started packing up her bags, slowly. Knowing that if Mr. Lee saw her packing up before the bell, she would get detention. As Amy put her papers in her binder, the bell rang. Amy took in a deep breath and raced out of the class as fast as she could, hugging her binders to her chest.
"Wait up!" Amy groaned, he was following her now? Amy said nothing, maybe Michael would get the hint, "Amy, stop!" Amy smiled as she walked out of the school to see Derek leaning against his Camaro.
The moment Amy stepped out of the school, Derek caught that something was wrong. He stood up a little taller and saw that Michael was chasing after her. Derek growled.
Amy rushed over to Derek, she walked into his arms, expecting him to hug her.
He didn't.
Amy looked up at him, confused. Derek pushed Amy away from him and looked over at Michael and then at the Alpha pack that was leaving the school, smirking. Amy leaned against the Camaro and watched Derek.
How could he just push me away? Am I being too needy?
A little voice in Amy's head told her that something was wrong with Derek and her, but Amy refused to believe it. She was just being paranoid, Derek was just being Derek.
Derek got in the car and Amy followed him, seeing that the pack was heading out of the school and to their cars.
"Hey," Amy leaned in to kiss Derek but he pulled away without saying anything to her.
Amy nodded her head, slowly. There was definitely something wrong.
As Derek got on the road leading to the Hale house, Amy noticed that the trees were blurring by, much faster than they were supposed to. "Derek, Derek, slow down." Amy sighed, his driving was going to get her killed.
Derek said nothing. Amy looked at the speedometer, "Derek! Derek! Stop! You are going 110 in a 70 zone, Derek!" Amy looked out of the front window, in the distance she saw a small child racing across the street, being chased by their mother, laughing. "Derek, slow down." Derek just glared at the road ahead of him, "Derek!" Amy yelled as the child and mother got closer and closer, "Derek!" she grabbed onto his bicep, pulling on his jacket, "Derek! The kid! Derek!"
Slowly, Derek looked over at Amy, as if he had just woken up from a trance. Amy screamed out in horror as she waited for the hit. Derek looked back to the road and his eyes bulged, he swerved just as the car was about to collide with the small family.
Amy opened her eyes slowly, confused as to why they hadn't hit anything. Amy looked at Derek who was shaking, Amy took in a deep breath and glanced back to peek at the mother and son, running off of the street. Amy then glanced at the falling arrow on the speedometer.
Amy let go of his arm, not once looking away from the arrow. Derek took in a shaky breath and re-adjusted his hands on the wheel. Amy let her head rest on the seat and shut her eyes. The pair sat in a tense silence.
"You should probably schedule a check for your driving skills," Amy peeked over at Derek and saw him crack a smile.
He shrugged, "I'd rather not. I'd probably fail."
Amy smiled, uneasily and took in a deep breath, everyone was fine. Stop panicking.
Amy let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in when she saw the Hale house come into view. Derek parked the car in front and Amy got out on shaky legs.
"Are you okay?" Derek asked as he opened up the front door to the house.
Amy nodded, "Yeah, but Derek-" Amy pulled Derek back on the porch, "You can't ever do that again, ever, ever again." Amy put his hands in hers, "That was way too close, Derek." Derek wriggled his hands out of Amy's grip but Amy just grabbed them again, "Derek. Promise me that you'll stop speeding. One day you'll kill someone doing it."
Derek said nothing, but Amy understood.
"Thank you."
Amy grabbed Derek and pulled him into the house.
A/N: I am so sorry! I know you, beautiful beings have been waiting a week to read these horrid chapters but here's chapter four! I am so sorry that it is taking a week to upload the chapters and they're not very good quality but I have school and it's just a lot more work than I expected this year. However, I am not going to stop this story because I am horribly emotionally invested and I know the future to this story and I love it! Ugh, and yes I agree with all of you complaining about how Derek has gotten annoying but he has a reason to be annoying right now and that is going to play out in later chapters. What else did I want to say? Oh! Next week you may not get a chapter, I mean, I will try but I'm not sure if I'll be able to work on it this week. Anyways, again, I am so sorry! Please don't give up on this story (or me). I love you guys to pieces, thank you! Oh did anybody recognize the foreshadowing in this chapter? Please read and review!
