The past two days at school have been very stressful. I walked over to my locker and grabbed out my books for the first two classes. I felt Stiles show up at the side of my locker. I smiled and waited for him to speak. The best thing about Stiles was that he could always make me smile. Even in the most unhappy of moments, if I looked at him I just broke out into a smile.
"Good Morning!" He said cheerfully. We had been hanging out every night of this week. I've grown accustomed to having him near me. I also decided that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to enter a relationship with a nice guy. Nice guys don't usually hurt the girl, it's normally the other way around. I closed my locker and looked at him and grinned.
I took a small step, closing the distance between us and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips. "Good morning." It was the first time that we kissed in public, and it was also the first time that I had made the move to kiss him.
"No matter what else happens today, that right there has made this the best morning." He said with his goofy grin.
I chuckled lightly at him and held out my hand to him. "Walk me to class?"
He took it and we began walking to our first class together. Scott showed literally out of thin air and looked at me. "Have you seen Isaac?"
I raised my eyebrows at him. "No, why would I?" I played it off like there was no reason for me to see him. And it wasn't a lie. Isaac had been avoiding me for the past two days. Derek came by this morning asking me what I did to him. I told him that I would have to talk to him about it later because I didn't have the time to explain it to him at the moment. Luckily he bought that it was some petty problem and it wasn't important enough to talk about at the moment.
"Well, he is your chemistry lab partner. He has drove you to and from school several times. I just figured that if anyone has seen him it would be Erica or you." He looked at me accusingly, and it made me feel uncomfortable.
"Then go ask Erica. I haven't seen him for two days." I said defensively.
"She said that I should ask you." I don't know why he was being so persistent about the whereabouts of Isaac, but it was getting on my nerves.
"I just don't know Scott. I'm sorry. What do you need with him anyways?" I tried to turn the topic of conversation on him.
"I just need to talk to him." He gave a pointed look at Stiles and then turned to walk into the classroom. Stiles and I stopped outside of the classroom before entering it.
"What was all that about?" I asked Stiles.
"Nothing." He started to pull on my hand for me to go in the classroom. I gently tugged back on his.
"Hey, wait a sec. Really, what was that about? Have I offended him or something?" I definitely needed to be on Scott's good side.
"Nothing, like I said." He said avoiding my questions. I dropped my hand from his and nodded slowly.
"Okay." I gave him a small smile, a little disappointed that he wouldn't tell me the truth.
We both walked into the classroom, and I decided that I would eavesdrop on the two boys the whole class period. It was the only way that I would know what the heck was really going on.
"Hey! I feel like I haven't really seen you in days. You want to hang out sometime this weekend?" I looked over at my sweet friend Allison and smiled.
"I know, I'm sorry. I've just been so busy and stuff." I gave her an apologetic smile. "I'm pretty sure I am free basically all weekend, so that sounds wonderful."
She gave me a smirk and then raised an eyebrow. "The stuff wouldn't be Stiles would it? I heard you two were pretty cozy this morning." She asked and I laughed.
"Small schools...I swear nothing is ever kept a secret." I laughed it off.
"Well, you would be surprised. Sometimes I think that small towns keep the most secrets." She said a little sadly, and my gut wrenched with the thought that I was keeping a huge secret from her.
"Yeah, I guess. So you want to come over and we can watch some movies or something?" I offered, hoping she would cheer up a little bit.
"Sounds good." Our conversation was ended when the teacher came in.
"I'm assuming that you are all making progress on your projects and that they will be presentable by next Wednesday?" I zoned out of the class discussion and focused in on Scott's and Stiles' conversation.
"I still don't trust her Stiles. She's not fully human. I haven't figured out what she is yet, but I plan on it. You need to stay away from her." Scott warned Stiles.
"Dude, if she was evil don't you think she would have tried to kill me by now. I mean, everything always tries to kill me by now." Stiles defended me.
"She shows up, Derek starts hiding stuff from me, his pack starts to pull away from me. I thought that Isaac was starting to be our friend and trust us, but now he is acting even more strange than usual. I blame her." My feelings were hurt that Scott thought so little of me.
"I like her. I was supportive of Allison, even after we found out her family were the hunters. And now you can't even be a tiny bit supportive for me now?" Stiles asked, even he sounded a little hurt.
"I want to support you. You know I do. There is just something she is hiding from us. I want to know what it is." Scott said with a stone face.
"I think that until for a fact that she is hiding something, you should try being a little nicer to her." Stiles said.
"I am nice to her!" Scott said surprised.
"You practically put you on the grill and closed the little to suffocate her with the smoke this morning when you questioned her about Isaac!" Stiles said a little dramatically. "You work with her today right?" Stiles asked Scott.
"Yeah we are both on the schedule, why...?" Scott asked cautiously.
"Why don't you offer to give her a ride over there? That will give you the opportunity to talk to her. See if she is evil or not." I could see Stiles' victorious grin and I heard Scott sigh.
"Fine. But if she tries to murder me, I am holding accountable." The boys started to laugh.
"Am I interrupting the two of you?" The teacher asked and the boys both smiled.
"Of course not!" Stiles opened his mouth first.
"Good then you can stay after for detention Mr. Stilinski. Do you need to join him McCall?" Stiles dropped his head and Scott shook his head no.
"Then I suggest that you two try something new and actually focus on what is being said in class today." The professor turned back to the board and continued his lecture.
After class, Stiles caught up with me right before I reached my locker. "Looks like I won't be able to give you ride to the clinic after school. But Scott said he would give you lift. If you wouldn't mind?" I could hear the hopefulness in his voice.
"Well, if you didn't talk so much in class, then you wouldn't have to endure hours of sitting in solitude after school. Instead you could be spending hours with your girlfriend." His eyes grew wide and I could hear his heart rate speed up.
"Did you...just say..girlfriend?" He asked, sure he didn't hear me right.
"If that is okay with you..." I asked, suddenly aware that maybe I crossed some line. I wasn't used to how these things worked and wasn't real sure of the rules.
"Is that okay with me?" He grabbed my hand and then looked around the hallway. "Guys and ladies! May I introduce this beautiful girl, Pillar Rochester, as my girlfriend. Yes, you heard right. I have a girlfriend!" He had my hand raised the entire time he was screaming down the hall. I was laughing the entire time he was speaking. Scott walked up right after he was done.
"Really? You felt the need to announce it to the entire school?" I knew that my cheeks were a little red, I wasn't used to this type of attention. "Look you embarrassed her." Scott look apologetically to me.
Stiles looked at me and then I could see remorse on his face. "I am so sorry! I was just so excited. I didn't think about the fact that you don't like the attention on you. Do you still want to be my girlfriend, or did I just ruin it?" I saw the worry on his face and I smiled as I kissed his cheek.
"Are you kidding me? I don't take back what I said. You are exactly what I need. Sweet, funny, and goofy." Not dangerously attractive, or mysterious, or confusing, or what I keep finding myself wanting. But Isaac isn't what I needed, Stiles was.
He leaned down and kissed me. "You make me the happiest guy, you know that?" I heard Scott clearing his throat and Stiles let me go and we faced him.
"I wanted to apologize for being the way I've been towards you. It wasn't fair, and I was hoping that maybe I could make it up to you by giving you a ride to the clinic this afternoon?" Scott sounded very genuine, but I also knew that he still didn't trust me.
"That would be great. Thanks Scott." I smiled at him. Then I turned to Stiles. "I have to go home and take care of some things during lunch so I will see you in chemistry?" He smiled back.
"Sure thing." I smiled at him, leaned up and gave him a kiss on the cheek and headed off to the girl's locker room for gym class. Today we were going to swim and I was super pumped. My parents' had both been lifeguards when they were younger and I have been in the water since I was in diapers.
When I entered the locker room Lydia and Allison were standing by my locker. Allison smiled and then gave me a giant hug when I reached my locker. "Stiles is such a great guy, I'm happy that you finally said yes to him!" Great. I wasn't going to hear the end of it now.
"He is a great guy." I smiled.
"You know he's been in love with me since like kindergarten right? I've just never given him the time of day." Lydia said, I wasn't really sure what the purpose of her saying that was but I turned towards her and put on my best bitchy smile.
"Then I am sure you are relieved he has moved onto better things. It really was your lost, he is way to good for you and now you won't even have the chance to find out." I turned back to my locker and began to change.
"Well I hope your little nerd love ends in happiness." She said before walking away.
"Don't pay her any attention. She just hasn't warmed up to you yet is all." Allison said as she sat down to take off her boots.
"I don't think she is ever going to warm up to me." I said with a small laugh.
I felt a hand on my arm a second before I heard her voice. "We need to talk." Erica.
"Can it wait? I'm trying to get changed for the class that we both have in two minutes." I raised an eyebrow at her, hoping that she would get the hint that we shouldn't be talking in front of Allison.
"No it can't." She said furiously. She pulled me away towards the showers. She waited for nearly everyone to leave the locker room. "What is your problem?"
He tone made me take a step back. "What are you talking about? I don't recall having one."
"Isaac hasn't been at school for two days because he can't stand to be with ten feet of you. I don't know what you have done to him, but you need to fix it. He is a great guy, and he likes you a lot. When he found out about you and Stiles..."
"That happened like and twenty minutes ago! How the hell does he know about?" She looked down at her feet. "Erica!"
She threw her hands up and then looked like she was actually sorry. "He asked me to keep an eye on you. He told me to text him if anything big happens. I didn't know that anything was going on until I called him to tell him about you and nerd boy." I was furious and I started to walk out of the locker room.
"You had no right to tell him about my business. If he wants to know something then you can tell him to quit avoiding me and come talk to me himself." I said angrily.
"So there really is something going on between you two. I mean I knew that he liked you, but I just figured it was because you were pretty. I thought it was just a schoolboy crush. But it's something much more isn't it?" She took a step towards me. "Does Derek know?" She asked, cheerful at the idea that my cousin would hit the roof if he did know.
"No. There isn't anything going on. It's all just a big misunderstanding. Derek has no need to know about any of this. And if you tell him, then I will hunt you down Erica, I swear it!"
She put her hands up again, "I would rather watch a train wreck, then try and stop it." She dropped the amused grin and looked serious. "I'm not sure what is happening with Isaac, but I know it has something to do with you. He means a lot to this pack. You hurt him and I will be the one hunting you down. I hope that is understood." She said the words with the deadliest tone I've ever heard.
We made our way to gym class, where we didn't speak to each other at all. I actually didn't speak to anybody. After gym class I rushed straight in the locker room and just put on a pair of sweats and a hoodie and rushed out the school to go see Derek. It was time to tell him the truth because it was just all becoming too much to handle.
I left the school and was going to take my bike back home but then I saw a very familiar car just sitting in the parking lot. With a very familiar face sitting in the driver's seat. Isaac had his hands on the steering wheel and he was looking down at the steering wheel like he wanted to punch it. I went over to the passenger side and slowly opened the door and slid into the seat slowly.
"Hey.." I said awkwardly.
"So you're his girlfriend now? A real legit couple?" He didn't sound mad, he sounded a little sad.
"He is really good to me Isaac, and you two are even friends." I offered without straight forwardly answering his question.
"But we are friends because he know the real me Pillar. What does he know about you? He doesn't even know the half of the truth about you. How is that relationship going to work?" I really didn't want to have this conversation.
"I really like him Isaac." It was all I could say. "Do you mind taking me home? I need to talk to Derek. I texted him and told him to meet me there." I knew he would say yes, even if he didn't want to be around me right now. He started to back out of the parking space and pulled out of the parking lot.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you the past few days, and I tried to text and call you." I asked trying to make conversation.
"I had to clear my head about some things. Can I ask you a question and you be honest?" He asked as he kept his eyes on the road.
"I will always be honest Isaac." He looked like a hurt puppy and all I wanted was to reach over and comfort him.
"Do you still feel it?" He didn't need to specify because we both knew exactly what he was talking about.
"Yes." I swallowed. It was as if it just amplified all of a sudden. I had felt the urge to kiss him as soon as I saw him in the parking lot, but now that we were actually talking about it, it heightened.
"Do you feel that way when you are with Stiles?" He wasn't asking angrily at all, he honestly just sounded curious. He pulled off the road and in one quick motion, pulled my face towards his and kissed me. I tried to pull away, but he moved his tongue against my lips and after I granted him entrance, I lost all self control. I moved over the gear shift and settled my self on his lap. His hands moved to my hips and my hands went to his hair. I couldn't tell you how long we stayed like that, but I have a feeling that it was a lot longer than needed. When I finally was capable of pulling away, we were both out of breath and he grinned. "What about that? Do you feel that with Stiles?" I pushed my self off him and sat down in the passenger seat again.
"That can't happen again Isaac!" He moved his hand over to my thigh as I was straightening my shirt.
"What can't happen again Pillar?" His voice was very seductive and I swatted his hand away.
"Just drive me home. And don't pull anymore shit. I mean it!" I was more angry at myself. That I allowed myself to get that hot with Isaac. He just laughed and then began driving off. He no longer looked like the hurt little puppy, he wore a devilish grin and it made my insides feel all funny.
When I arrived at my house, I lost all my confidence to talk to Derek about the thing between Isaac and me. Instead I just went inside and Isaac followed.
When Derek saw us both he smiled. "Well look who has decided to come out of hiding. Just the two people that I need to talk to." I went to sit on the couch, where Isaac joined me. Internally, I growled at the fact he couldn't sit across the room instead.
"What's up Derek?" Isaac sounded more cheerful than I have ever heard him.
"More like what's up with you two? One day you are friends, and then the next you aren't speaking to each other. It's causing problems with the pack and I can't allow that to happen. So whatever it is we deal with it now." My poor cousin was completely clueless and I decided that I needed the topic of conversation to change and quick.
"I'm dating Stiles now." I said with a bright smile and the look on Derek's face immediately made me regret ever letting the words escape my mouth.
"You can't be serious." Derek's tone was a mixture between anger, disbelief, and confusion. "How the hell does something like that even happen?" Nope, I am definitely sensing more anger now.
"He's a nice guy Derek, he'll treat her right." Isaac said, as he stood and patted Derek on the back and winked at me. I wanted to kill him.
"He's a nice guy? I have made such an effort of asking you to keep away from him, I know that you two had to work together on something, but now you are dating? This is going to cause so many problems you know that right? Not just for me but for the pack." Derek was getting more angry and I stood.
"Well, then I will just leave you to think it all over. I'm your cousin first Derek. You know that I don't let anyone get close often, be happy for me. That's all I am asking." I leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek before motioning for Isaac to follow me. "Mind giving me a ride back to school? I'm already late for chemistry." I wasn't going to mention the fact that Scott was going to give me a ride to the clinic after school, that would just be pouring gasoline on a fire.
"Sure thing." Isaac wore his grin again, and I didn't know how I was going to make it a car ride with him.
We both got into the car and things were great, until Isaac opened his mouth and spoke. "Sooo,,, earlier."
"Will never happen again. I don't know what this crazy feeling is, but just because I am attracted to you, doesn't mean that I want to be with you. I want to be with Stiles. You need to accept that and deal with it. If I can keep this thing under control then so can you. You need to get your ass back to school. Too many people are taking notice. Erica nearly took my head off today, blaming me for the funk that you have been in." I said a little more harshly than I probably should have. He pulled into the school parking lot. We walked up the stairs, and just when I thought I was going to get a clean get away he spoke again.
"So you are really going to stay with Stiles, even though you know you won't feel the same fire you felt with that kiss?" I nodded my head yes. "Alright then, two can play at that game." He said before walking off. I stormed over to my locker and grabbed out a bag of twizzlers. I need them for comfort. I don't know what he meant my playing a game, but I was sure it couldn't end well.
I arrived in chemistry class, and Erica was sitting in my seat, right next to Isaac. He had his arm around her face and his head was in the crook of her neck. The sight of them made my stomach ache. I walked over to my seat and cleared my throat. They both looked up. Erica smiled her bitchy smile and looked directly at me. "Thanks dollface. I don't know what you said to him, but I am sure glad he is coming to his senses. I've had my eyes set on him for months now." She winked at me and then sauntered out of the room, moving her hips a little to much.
I looked at Isaac and gave him a disgusted look. "Really?" I raised an eyebrow.
"She's nice, and she'll treat me right." He said without even looking at me. I slammed my books down on the table and hopped on to the stool next to his. I looked up and found Stiles staring at me and smiling. I returned a small smile and a wave back at him.
After class ended, Stiles led me to my locker and Scott followed along side of us. "Did you see Isaac and Erica? When did that happen?" Stiles asked Scott and Scott looked as surprised at Stiles did.
"I have no idea. It's a little weird though." Scott said making a face and then he looked at me. "You ready?" I pulled my bag out of my locker and grabbed my pack of twizzlers.
I reached up and kissed Stiles, I saw Isaac watching from the corner, so I let the kiss linger for a few seconds longer than usual. "Now I am. Let's go." I said while smiling at Stiles.
Scott led me to his mom's car and we headed out of the parking lot. "I guess I already gave you the best friend speech, even before you two started dating, so I don't need to give it again right?" He said, and I could tell he was nervous.
"Why do I get the feeling you still don't trust me?" I figured if I just got down to the point then we wouldn't have to beat around the bush about it.
"What?" He tried to play innocent with me, and I just stared at him. After a few more second he finally gave in. "It's just something feels different since you showed up at Beacon Hills. You haven't done anything specific, it's just a feeling I have. You aren't some crazy killer are you?" He said in jokingly but there was a note of seriousness in his voice.
"If I was, don't you think I would have killed someone by now?" I tried to reason with him. He pulled into the clinic and he took a deep breath.
"Yeah that is true." We stepped out of the car and I heard footsteps out in the forest. I knew that Scott heard it as well because his head jerked in the same direction.
We began walking up the stairs, and that's when I heard the arrow zipping through the woods. It hit me in the back and I fell to my knees. I felt my breathing quicken and Scott turned around and immediately helped me up. I turned to see Allison emerge from the woods.
"Allison? What are you doing? Are you crazy?!" She jogged up the stairs and helped me up. I couldn't speak and images were starting to blur, but I could still hear voices.
"I overheard her and Erica talking today in the locker room. I wasn't sure, but after hitting her with this arrow I knew." She said, and I could hear the worry in her voice.
"Knew what?" Scott picked me up, I could feel myself being lifted from the ground.
"Only a werewolf would be affected by that arrow. But she shouldn't be out of it like this. It should have only stunned her for a few seconds. It's almost as if she isn't fully a werewolf. Her body is reacting like mine would." She was speaking too quick, and I could barely make out what she was saying.
"What happened?" That was Deaton's voice. I felt ice cold surface beneath me and then I was gently laid down. "I guess you know she isn't normal now." I heard metal clanking together.
"I shot her with a silver tipped arrow. There was no poison, but she isn't reacting normally. What's wrong with her?" Allison's voice was shaking.
"She's only half of a werewolf. Her body is having a reaction to the silver being sent through her bloodstream." I screamed when I felt the arrow being pulled from my back. "Watch, her body will heal, but I'll have to give a few shots to get her body back to normal."
"What do you mean she is only half of a werewolf?" Scott's voice sounded like he was freaking out.
"That is something that only she or Derek, will have the right to explain." Deaton said, and then I blacked out.
