The Thing

Another chapter. Hopefully you dont hate it as mutch as i do.

Derek's P.O.V.

Monday morning was a chaos. As always. I was takeing a shower, and Tori was knocking at the door, and telling me to 'hurry the fuck up!'. When she started threatning me with knocking the door off with a spell, I hurried to get some clean clothes on and get out. Chloe, that lucky potato, got a bathroom for her self, so he didnt have to share it with Tori and Simon.

Not that Simon is a problem though. He's actually not, but Tori... Well, there is many things you can say about Tori, but paitient wasn't one of them.

After we all got dressed and ate breakfest, we walked out to my car. I sat in the drivers seat, duh, I am the driver, Simon and Tori in the back and Chloe on the seat in front. I started the car and we drove off. The radio was playing Tove Lo, Talking Body. An okay song, if you ask me, but shh, dont tell anyone *wink*.

Simon, the life of the party he is, started to sing along. Chloe did too, a little more quite though. In the end I couldnt control my self and hummed along. Chloe looked surprised at me. I met her gaze. "What? Its a good song," I said. She gave me a smirk, probably surprised that a guy like me even listens to music, and even knowing the lyrics to a swedish-indie-pop song.

When we arrived at school I found a spot and parked the car. Before we got out we discused the plan. The plan about telling Rae, that she was a manipulated supernatural. Chloe basicly had the main-part. It was her friend, so she was the one to tell Rae 'the big news'. Me, Tori and Simon would watch from a distance to asure nothing will happen. It could happen that Rae would get mad, and she was a fire-half-demon, and Chloe had told us, that sometimes when she got mad, thing would burn, so we had to be careful, becouse if something happened...with Chloe...I wouldnt be able to forgive myself.

Well, aren't you worried for the wonderful-sexy-goddess...

Oh look who's back! And I told you not to call her that...

Have you missed me? Oh, I'm so toutched! And I can say whatver I want, just to be clear.

Eh, no. Wanna know why? Becouse my sister can read my thoughts!

Oh, that! Yeah,, minnor detail. But why does it matter though? She already knows that you want to toutch her butt, so what it is to you?

Oh my god! Would you STOP! I dont want to toutch her butt! Jesus, where do you get these things from?

The Internet, duh!

(High five to Wolfie for that one! Lol :D Anyways, continue)

Whatever. The point is: Stop thinking about all those dirty things all the time, its actually pretty annoing.

Fine. You are sutch a party-pooper, you know that? But you DO want to toutch her butt, am I right?

Just shut up, would ya?

Hehe, I hit a soft spot, I see. Okay, okay, I stop. For now.

And then he was gone. Again, without warning. The rest of the morning went pretty normal. I had Math, easy enough. Biology, piece of cake. Science, my favorite and History, actually a bit borning. To be honest, I liked school. I was good at all the Science and Math classes, but the languege and Social Studies... Not that mutch, actually. That was why I was taking English on freshmen-level.

(Sorry if I get some stuff wrong, I have no idea how the american school-system works ;D Anyways, continue)

I was really bad at writing essays and all that stuff, and my grammar sucked so mutch, that I was close to not get promession to have Science at college-level. Apperently those two go hand in hand, for some stupid reason. So that means if I fail English I cant have Science on that high of a level. Stupid school system.

After History we had lunch. When I got to the cafeteria I looked around after Simon. Apperently he had made new friends. Girl-friends. Not that surprising, actually. As I had said before, girls was all about Simon. Something about his blond hair and asian-futeres made him exotic, and his imresively good social-skills did also help. Looks like he will be to busy with his ladies to keep me company. I sighted and looked around after Tori

Surprisengly I saw her over at some computer-nerds table. Then again, Tori wanted to be a software-designer, and she was all about that stuff. You wouldnt think that a pretty and popular girl like her would be into sofware-design, but there she was, talking with a guy in glasses about something so intens, that I could se sparks fly off her fingertips once in a while. I guess she wouldnt keep me company either.

At last I searched for Chloe. She wasn't that hard to find. She was sitting at a table near the windows. Some other kids sat there too, probably some of her friends. She looked up and met my gaze from across the caf. I gave her a nod and she gave me a nod back. She was still looking at me, her aura dark-purple, worried, and a little bit blue, sad? I gave her a glare of confusion. Then I shook my head and walked out, towards the library to do some math-homework.

When I arrived at the library I found a place in the back. I took out my stuff and began, but after a few minutes I heard the door open. Someone small walked through it and inside the library. I smelled the air. No, it couldnt be...Chloe? But there she was, coming from behind the shelfs, towards me. I couldnt believe my eyes. What is she doing here?

"Oh, there you are," she said and smiled. Why was she happy to find me here? I had no clue.

Thats becouse she wants to make-out against the book-shelfs.

Shush, I want to hear what she has to say.

Oh, yeah, right. Sorry!

I looked confuced at her. "Why are you smiling?" I asked. A confuced expresion came over her face. "Eh, becouse I found you, duh!" she said and gave me a smirk. She set her bag down on the floor and sat on a chair across me. I shook my head. "Sorry, I still dont get why you are here," I said. She looked guilty at me. I was completely clueless.

See, some people thought that math was really hard to understand, that it was impossible and didn't make any sence. I had it the same way, but only with girls. No actually people at all. But mostly girls, though. Yes, I could see peoples feelings, but that didnt mean I understood them. Or even accepted them. Sometimes.

Like now: Her emotions was tottaly viseble, but that didn't mean I understood them. She blushed and looked away. "I...I saw you walking out of the cafeteria, so I thought...I thought that you maybe was lonely...so...so I followed you and...and wanted to make sure if you was okay..." she blushed even harder.

"Oh! Well, ehm... Thanks, I guess. I'm okay, though. You don't have to worry about me. I just saw that Simon and Tori wasn't availebel, so I thought, that I just could go here and do my homework..." I said and pointed at the books.

She looked at me. "Why didn't you just sit with your friends?" I looked confuced at her. "What friends, Chloe? I had only been here two days, how could I make friends over sutch short time?" She shrugged. "Tori and Simon have already made friends. I just thought you did too," she said.

I shook my head. "No. thats just Simon and Tori. And everybody else, apperently. If you havents guessed yet, I haven't god as good social-skills as you guys. I actually think about my self as a lone-wolf kind of guy. I dont see why I should trust strangers and interact with them.

I have my family, my pack, and thats enough for me. Sure, Simon and Tori can have other friends, I don't have anything against that, as long as they don't revial their powers, and sure they need someone like-minded people to be around, becouse even I get tired of myself sometimes..." I laughed at that confession. I did get tired of myself sometimes, or my wolf, to be correct.

"But why are you worried anyways?" I asked. She looked at me. "I dont know. I just... I guess I dont want to see you be sad. I know how hard it is to not have any friends. I only have a few myself, and that is after I started in high-school. Before that, I was alone. Nobody talked to me, and if they did, they made fun of my stutter. But then, it got better.

I started in high-school, got out of my bubble, tried to make friends, and I almost got away with the stutter. Now it only comes when I'm relly nervous or scared. And, well, when I saw you, standing there alone...It reminded me of myself. How I used to be too shy to even sit down next to someone, and how I through whole junior-high also sat in the library and reeded books at lunch. Alone." She sighted and played with the sleeve of her hoodie.

"So thats what I am saying to you. Get out of your bubble. Make some friends. This is high-school after all. Some people say, that it doesnt matter afterwerds, but I think, that its important to have people who support you and will be there for you when you need them. You know, friends.

I know that you said you didnt wanted to interact with others, but you could at leas give it a chance. I am sure it'll be a lot funnier than sitting in the library and doing homework." She said and gave me a smirk. I looked her in the eyes.

"It's not as easy as it sounds. I mean, look at me. I am 6"7 and have a size of a body-builder. My acne scars are the only differens between me and a grown-up man. My hair is greesy and I look like an emo. People dont look at me and say: Oh, look at that guy, he could be my new friend! No, they look at me and say: That guy looks like he'd seen the police station from the inside a couple of times. What do you think he did? I dont know, maybe it's becouse I'm a warewolf.

They see me, but sence danger, becouse I am an other kind of predator. And it doesn't help with my looks either. So I stay away. Hide in baggy clothes. Try to blend in. Only it's really diffecult when you are 6"7 and actually is heigher than the teacher." She laughed, a wonderful sound that lightened up the whole room. Stop thinking that. What happened to 'ignoring her and dont let her get close to you'? Maybe if she knew about the thing... Maybe that will make her stay away...

But you don't really want that, do ya?

Did I?

"Yes, that could be a problem. But I really cant see why you see yourself as 'the big bad wolf'. Sure, you are big and all that, but you are not dangerous. And you are actually pretty funny to talk too..." She blushed. I looked shocked at her. If she only knew...

Tell her.

Now?

Well, you want her to stay away, dont you? To be careful. Then tell her.

Okay...

"You dont know why we moved, do you?" I asked. She looked confused at me. "Simon told me that Kit had a job-offer, but now we know, that it was becouse the other kids go to our school, and they wanted to warn them and all that, so isn't that's why?" I shook my head. "I am sure that is the main reason, but there was also this other thing... Simon didn't tell you what happened, did he?" She shaked her head. "No. He didn't. Why? What happened?" I sighted. Here we go... Just like ripping a bandage off- quick and hurtful.

I breathed in. "At our old school we were sort of misfits. A mulricultered family in a small town? Not a very good combination. One day, I had too meet Simon at the bascetball-court. I was a little late, witch turned out to be very inappropriate. He wasn't alone. These guys had him against a wall, and was threatning him with a knife.

I don't know what came over me. I just... I took the guy with the knife and thowed him away. Jut like that. Like a toy, or something. The other guy atacked me, but I hit him in the stomach and he ran off with the third guy. But the first guy? The one that I had thown? He didn't get up. Turned out I had broken his spine, and now he will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. So, yes Chloe, I am pretty dangerous." I looked at her. Tryed to warn her. Stay away. Or you will be hurt. Go! Go away! She looked me in the eyes. Her aura was purple, fear, and blue, sad. But her expression said everything. Horror.

Looks like you got your wish gruanted, mut. Now she will stay away. Are you happy?

She shook her head. Then she got up, took her stuff and walked out of the library.

Yes, I am. It's best for everyone this way.

Liar.

I got up and walked to class. Luckly me and Chloe didn't have English together today. I don't think I could look at her after this. She is too afraid, thats for sure. It worked. Now she will stay away. Now the pink aura will go away. Deffenetly.

I know, I KNOW! Terrrible ending! And how could Chloe just walk away like that? Why? WHYYY? I really hated writing that part, but dont worry, it wil get better, i promise. This is still totaly Chlerek. They have to be together, the are made for eatch other. There is no DP fanfic without Chlerek, and you cant just rip them apart like that. And i am not. I just... I dont know. Just wait for it, okay? Pationtly... BYE! Dont hate me pls
