I can't believe what Derek told me earlier this day. The words kept wandering around in my head and it drove me crazy. I was so confused.

Derek and I were very good friends, he was almost like a brother to me, but there was something that made me feel like we were more than friends. Even though I really liked Jackson.

Gosh, this was so wrong..

Speaking of Jackson, he and I would be hanging out for some hours. I mean, well it's almost a whole day. Not that I really minded, I had Jackson for my own.

But, to be honest, I was kinda nervous. It was the very first time that I'd be spending half a day with Jackson and I totally had to look good. My outfit consisted out of a destroyed jeans and a black top, just the usual, my brown hair was hanging in loose curls and my makeup was flawless(as always.)

When Jackson finally arrived I gave him a hug. "Heyy, I missed you!" I really did, to be honest.

"Missed you too, babe. Glad that we can spend so much time together." He said with a smile.

I took a step closer, took his hand and gave him a kiss. ''Yeah until your date with Lydia..'' I said softly. I led him towards the stairs. "Come to my room!" I said.

What are we going to do today?" Jackson asked me when we sat down on my bed.

"I don't know, to be honest. Maybe we can watch a movie? Walk around in the forest?" I suggested.

"That does actually sound nice! But it doesn't really matter. As long as i'm with you, I'm fine." He said while blushing lightly. ''Well, I do know something which is even more fun than a movie. Almost forgot. You look really beautiful today." '' He said.

''Tell me, I'd like to know your wonderful idea.'' I said with a grin.

''I'll show you instead.'' Jackson said as he leaned closer to me. Yupp, he was going to kiss me. I closed my eyes and felt his lips on mine. The kiss quickly heated. I felt how Jackson's hands were all over me. And then I remembered my mom was at home.

"Jackson? My mom's home today.."

"So what are we going to do first?"

"I guess we could start with the movie." Jackson said.


We were in the middle of the movie when I wanted food. I walked towards the kitchen to grab some popcorn. I came back, took a hand full of popcorn and sat back down. In the corner of my eye I saw Jackson look at me which made me chuckle quietly. Slowly I turned my head so I could look at him, but right on that moment he quickly turned his head back, facing the screen again. I wondered why he turned his head away so fast.

Just when I wanted to get back to the movie Jackson looked at me again. Not like a creepy stare or something. He looked cute. ''What's wrong?'' I asked as he kept looking at me without saying anything.

''Nothing, I was just wondering..." He said as his face turned red.

"Wondering about what?" I asked, blushing a bit because I didn't know what he was thinking about.

''Well, ehm.. Have I told you how beautiful you look today?'' He said, trying to change the subject. It almost worked.

"No you haven't.. " I said answerinv his question. "But that doesn-"

"You look so stunning today. Just thought you should know that." Jackson said, cutting me off.

"Thanks, but what I tried to ask was what you were wondering about." I said. "You make me curious."

He finally gave in. "Okay, I'll tell you in the forest."

"Deal. Now let's go to the forest. I want to know it." I said. "The movie is boring anyway."


"What I actually wanted to say at your house was. Ehm, how can I say this... I really like you and stuff." Jackson said with a red face.

"I like you, too. " I replied.

"No, I mean really like you. But you know I can't just break up with Lydia and then go with you." Jackson explained.

"I understand." I said griefly. I could've known he wouldn't break up with Lydia.

"Hey, don't be sad. We'll be together, sooner or later. I just need to find the right time." Jackson said while taking my hand. He lifted me up and spun me around.

"No, omg, Jackson! Put me down!" I yelled inbetween the laughing. As soon as he put me down he started tickling me. "Jackson! Stop it!" I just couldn't stop laughing.

"Okay, okay." He said while spinning me around on the ground. "But you shouldn't worry about Lydia so much." He said with a serious face. He bent some closer to me. "And don't forget that you are my one and only, I don't even like Lydia." He whispered in my ear. Then he planted a kiss in my neck. Followed my one on my lips.

I smiled at him and kissed him back. I can't believe he really said that. H e likes me more than Lydia! wooh for me!

I ran away very sudden. I hid myself behind a tree. Damn, I felt like a little child.

I saw how Jackson passed the tree I was hiding behind. "Marylin?" He shouted. Quietly I walked up to him from behind. "BOO!" I shouted.

Jackson spun around and looked at me with big eyes. Yup, I scared him.

"You little. You scared the hell out of me!" He exclaimed trying not to laugh.

"I know." I said, clearly amused.

"You're crazy." He said quietly. I bent forward and kissed him. I felt how he was still smiling while I kissed him. Jackson put his arms around my waist while I put mine around his neck. Just when our kiss became more passionate the wind blew so hard that I almost lost my balance.

I laughed for some seconds and took Jackson's hand to stroll around in the forest.


''I'm so tired and I need food!" I said when we reached the beginning of the forest again. We have been walking around in the woods for like 1 hour, but it felt like ages. It was obvious that I was exhausted.

"Yeah, and I need to get home. The date, you know." Jackson explained.

"Uhu, yeah, well, good luck!" I said, trying to sound positive.

"I know you don't like it.. But I really need to go." He said.

''I know. Just go." I said while giving him a hug. "See ya!" I said as I walked away.

"Bye!" Jackson said.

Now I wanted to get some food and the tank station was the closest, so I went there.


I just came out of the store when I got that weird, dizzy feeling again. I looked around searching for the source of the feeling. Then I saw Derek standing by his car. Together with my B&J I walked towards him. As soon as I got closer I realized it was a real Camaro!

"Hey, Derek! Nice Ride!" I looked around and surprisingly, Allison's father was standing there, too. Oh, and there were some creepy men around, did I interrupt something?" I asked, Allisons dad looked annoyed and Derek just glanced over me and looked back at Allisons dad, aka Mr. Argent. "Not all at once... Okay.. Ehm hey, Mr. Argent." I said awkwardly.

"Ah, hello. Kaila, isn't it? The friend of.. What's his name again?" He said, obviously acting dumb.

"Scott, sir. You mean Scott." I said.

"Yeah, so, do you know this young man?" Mr. Argent said, pointing at Derek.

Not knowing why he asked that I answered. "Uh yeah, kind of." Obviously I wasn't going to tell how close we really were.

One of the men took some steps closer to me, and he was so creepy. It actually scared the hell out of me. Derek instinctively stepped in front of me so the man couldn't reach me.

Oh gosh..

"Black cars though…" Mr. Argent said after seeing Derek's reaction. "very hard to keep clean. I would definitely suggest a little more maintenance."

I didn't know what the man was talking about. As far as I could see, Derek's car was perfect. "Well, I guess you need glasses then, I can't see any dirt and my eyes work perfect." I said bluntly.

"If you have something nice," Mr. Argent continued while ignoring me and taking a good look at me and Derek.

"you'd want to take care of it, wouldn't you? Personally I'm very protective of the things I love. My families for instance… although you don't have much of that lately, do you?" Mr. Argent said while cleaning the front window.

It surprised me that Allison's dad actually knew this. Plus, this was a pretty sensitive subject for Derek, and I guess Mr. Argebt knew that. Unlike I had expected, Derek stayed calm. What was going on guys? Since Derek didn't do anything about the comment, I reacted.

"Oh my god. That is so mean." I said in disbelief, which made Mr. Argent look at me, with his burning and cold stare. I looked back with some bitchy face. "Oh, did I interrupt your speach?" Uhu, you don't mess with me.

Mr. Argent gave me an annoyed look.
"There we go," he continued on whilst he pulled away from the Camaro, "you can actually see through your windshield now. See how much… clearer things are now?"

I watched Mr. Argent taking a few steps back. How could he possibly be so mean?
The men walked away all together while Derek and I stood there, nailed to the ground for some reason, and if this wasn't enough, Derek snarked, "You forgot to check the oil."

Can boys be any more stupid? Just as I thought those creeps would go away, Derek invited them back.

"Check the man's oil!" Mr. Argent ordered from over his shoulder.

One of the guys walked up to us, followed by smashing his hand forcefully into the Camaro's driver's side window. Thousands of glass pieces flew around and into the car with a loud crash.

"OH MY GOD." I exclaimed taking a step back.

"Drive safe," Mr. Argent said as he gave Derek a dirty look. Then they sped away in their car.

"Did that really happen? We need to call the police or something!" I exclaimed.

"We can't, they're werewolf hunters. This is what they do, remember?" Derek said calmly.

"Well that doesn't give them the right to destroy your freaking car." I said.

"Whatever. You like your icecream?" Derek said, pointing at my B&J.

"Uh yeah, this is my favourite food." I said. "You want some?" I directed my spoon at Derek.

"Uh, I never tried it." He admitted.

"Okay, that means that you seriously missed something in your life." I said in disbelief. "Here, eat some. It's delicious."

I watched Derek taking my spoon and eating the ice cream. I saw his face expression change. "You like it?" I asked. Derek looked at me. I already knew what he meant. Don't iterrupt me.

"It's nice." Derek finally said.

''Nice? You mean fantastic!" I said.

"No, I mean nice. It's good, but not really my taste."

"I can't believe this!" I exclaimed in disbelief.

Derek was clearly amused by my reaction. "Like I said, not really my taste."

"You have only one taste, meat, wolfboy, meat is what you like." I said. I wondered why Derek was being so.. I don't know. He didn't show any emotion. Honestly I didn't even want to know. "Look, I don't wanna be mean or something, but it's kinda late and I want to eat my food." I said.

"Yeah, I need to do something anyway.." Derek said.

''Okay, well, ehm, bye I guess.." I said while taking a few steps back.

"Yeah, Bye.." Derek said as he turned around.


'Need to talk to you and Scott. Meet me at his house. Stiles.'

That was all. Stiles had texted me, and I guess that it was important because he didn't even say hello or something. However, I didn't have anything to do so I took my phone and Jacket got ready to go to Scott's house.

never mind. We'll call you, otherwise you have to walk for so long.

Uh well, okay. I sat back down and answered the phonecall.

"Hey guys!" I said through the phone.

"Hey Marylin! We've got news." Scott said.

"Scott, Stiles? Who are you talking to?" I heard Scott's mom ask in the background.

"Just a friend of mine! Her namr is Marylin." Scott answered.

"However, it is not so good news." Stiles continued the conversation with me. "My dad just got home from the hospital."

"Why was he at the hospital?" I asked. This was a bit confusing.

"It's the busdriver, he just died." Scott said.

"How? He was still alive!" I exclaimed.

"Was, yeah. His heart just stopped beating." Stiles said.

"Oh.. So we'll never know who did it?" I asked a bit disappointed.

"Well, I know you don't want to hear this but I think it might have been Derek. But it had red glowy eyes." Scott said.

"You think so?" I said with hesitation. Maybe that is why he was being so euh weird today.

"Yeah... But that was all we really needed to say. " Scott said.

"Thanks for the information guys. I'm going to figure this out." I said.

"Alright, we'll see you tomorrow." Stiles said.

"Bye guyss!" I said.

"BYE MARYLIN!" The boys yelled at the same time. Gosh, they were so weird sometimes.
