Chapter 6 - Time To Come Clean
BEACON HILLS HIGH SCHOOL
''So, you and Scott's gonna go?'' Mickey asked rather absently as his green eyes scanned the corridor for either one of his best friends, they had class together so Mickey wanted to meet up with them before going there.
''I promised him I'd go, you're not jealous are you?'' Allison teased as she bumped her shoulder into Mickeys' making him chuckle, of course, he would get jealous when Allison went out with other guys who wasn't himself. Scott's his rival in love so him going out with Allison did Mickey no good, Mickey wanted the beautiful girl only for himself but of course, keeping her only to himself would make him no good.
''Nah, me and Stiles were planning on having a game night.'' It was the best excuse he could come up with and it was also true, Stiles hadn't been very happy when Scott told him that he was going on a date because Stiles is still very much single. Being the great friend Mickey was, he had brought up the idéa of a game night with pizza and all which took Stiles not even a second to accept.
''Seriously Mickey, me going out with Scott doesn't upset you even the slightest?'' Allison argued as she turned around to face him, stopping him from walking any further. His green eyes locking with her brown and he sighed, knowing that this was no time to lie to her as honesty always worked best.
''Of course, I mind you going out with Scott but that doesn't mean I will tell you not to, you're a free person and can do whatever you wanna do.'' Mickey hadn't meant to sound so whiny when he said it but really he sounded like a little kid, for his excuse he was really fighting himself to get that statement out without changing his mind. It was true, Allison was free to go out with whoever she wanted to go out with and Mickey had no rights to tell her not to.
''You're so sweet.'' Allison chuckled as she stepped closer to his chest, her hand gently cupping his left cheek as she ran her thumb over the soft skin under his green eyes. Mickey couldn't help the goofy smile that formed as she stood on her toes while gently leading his lips to her own, letting their lips meet in a short but gentle kiss before she leaned back down.
''And you're so damn beautiful.'' He mumbled as Allison turned around and before either one could react, Allison bumped right into a very familiar back of a person.
''I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention!'' Allison exclaimed as the person turned around to face her, Scott just looked at her as if he'd just seen a ghost. Mickey rolled his eyes as he walked up to the two and quickly picked up all the books Allison had managed to drop, he slowly pushed himself up as he handed the books back to the girl.
''You're okay?'' Scott breathed out in worry as he looked her over, Mickey stared at his friend with one raised eyebrow, that was such a lame excuse for looking her up. Why wouldn't Allison be okay?
''When my heart starts beating again, yeah.'' Allison joked as she took the books Mickey held out for her, giving him a grateful smile as she hugged them close to her chest. Both Mickey and Allison noticed Scott's stare as his eyes were locked on Allison. ''What?''
''I'm just happy to see you,'' Scott explained making Mikey roll his eyes, he didn't really know what had happened to Scott making him so worked up but he most likely would get his answers when he met up with Stiles.
''Students, this is your principal.'' The speakers suddenly spoke, or the principal spoke taking their attention. ''I know you're all wondering about the accident of last night in one of our busses. While the police try to determinate what happened, classes will proceed as usual. Thank you.''
''I'll see you at lunch.'' Allison smiled as she looked at Scott who seemed overwhelmed by her gesture.
''Yeah...'' Scott agreed, Mickey just smirked as he bumped his shoulder into his friends' to snap him out of his dreamy little world before he turned his green eyes to Allison.
''We'll save ya a seat.'' He promised before he pushed Scott towards the direction of their classroom, he didn't glance back to meet Allisons' eyes because if he did he wouldn't wanna go.
CLASS ROOM
''Maybe it was my blood.'' Scott suddenly said as he turned to face Stiles who was seated behind him, Mickey seated beside Stiles glance up with a raised eyebrow not really keeping up.
''Or animal blood. You know, maybe you caught a rabbit or something...'' Stiles threw out a guessing as he looked up from his notes, Mickey nodded in agreement but Scott looked like he didn't really get why he would have done such a thing.
''And did what?'' He questioned with a frown and Mickey swore his friends' question was genuine, sometimes he wondered just why his best friend had got bitten.
''Ate it.'' Mickey explained without really looking at his friends, his green eyes stuck on the damn chemistry notes in front of him. How could people even know such shit as chemistry?
''Raw?'' Scott asked in disbelief as he couldn't believe that such a thing could be done. Of course, Mickey thought the same but wolves do eat meat raw so why wouldn't werewolves?
''No, you cooked it in a little werewolf oven! I don't know, you're the one who can't remember anything!'' Stiles suddenly exclaimed in a hushed tone and Mickey suddenly noticed how their teacher had turned around to face them, the mean teacher with his ugly hair and stupid glasses.
''Mister Stilinski!'' Harris called from the front to get their attention before he continued. ''If that's your idea of a quiet whisper, you mind want to keep your earphones out for a while. I think you and mister McCall would benefit for a little distance, yes?''.
''No...'' Stiles disagreed and Mickey was just happy that he hadn't been included, keeping his eyes on the stupid book had served him good this time. But their stupid ass teacher would have none of it as he pointed for both Stiles and Scott to change seats, one furthest away from the others.
''Let me know if the separation is too difficult...'' Stupid teacher mocked as Mickeys' two best friends picked up all their stuff and went over to their new benches all while Mickey stayed put, Stiles was still seated close by as he'd just moved to the bench behind Mickey. Scott, on the other hand, had been seated in the front, far away from Stiles and Mickey.
''Hey, I think they found something!'' The girl seated beside Scott suddenly exclaimed as she hurried to the window to look outside, Mickey shared a quick glance with Stiles before both quickly hurried to join her with the rest of their classmates. They watch as four men rolled out what seemed to be one of the bus drives towards an ambulance.
''That's not a rabbit...'' Mickey noted as he turned to look at his two friends, Scott met his eyes while Stiles just stared out the window at the scene outside. All jolting as the bus driver suddenly flew to a sitting position while letting out a horrible scream.
''This is good, this is good... He got up, he's not dead. Dead guys can't do that.'' Stiles tried to convince them all as Scott backed away from the window, Mickey stayed put with his green eyes staring at the scene outside but still listened in on his friends talk.
''Stiles... I did that.'' That did so not sound good, Mickey wanted to groan but held it back. He knew that his friends had kept something from him but this!? Had Scott finally gone and killed a person?
SCHOOL CAFETERIA
''But dreams aren't memories!'' Stiles stated in a quiet voice as he took the seat beside Mickey by the table, Scott taking the seat opposite Stiles.
''Then it wasn't a dream! Something happened last night and I don't know what...'' Scott argued as the two sat down, Mickey who'd finally got filled in on the events watched them curiously.
''What makes you so sure that Derek even has all the answers?'' Stiles asked as if he himself didn't believe it and to be honest, neither did Mickey.
''Because, the night of the full moon, he wasn't changed, he was in total control! I was running around in the middle of the night, attacking some total innocent guys...'' Scott explained quickly, voice filled with guilt. Stiles looked at him with a pointed look but it was Mickey who voiced what they both agreed on.
''You don't know that, it could have been anything.'' Mickey said sternly as he picked off the cucumber from his food, he hated the watery vegetable.
''I don't know it! I can't go out with Allison, I have to cancel...'' Scott sounded so defeated that Mickey wasn't even happy at the news that Allison wouldn't go out with his love rival, sure they weren't actual rivals but Scott was still one of the Mickeys' best friends.
''No! You're not canceling, okay? You're not going to cancel your entire life!'' Stiles argued as he neither wanted Scott to just shut down because of the werewolf thingy happening to him.
''We'll figure it out,'' Mickey promised with a small smile just as Lydia took a seat beside Scott who looked visibly startled by her sudden appearance, why would someone like Lydia Martins want to sit with the geeks?
''Figure what out?'' She asked innocently as she put down her handbag, Mickey quickly lowered his head to not show the shit eating grin he got from watching his friends baffled expressions. They seriously looked exactly like two geeks getting into the inner circle, not to mention even more of the popular students suddenly appeared and took a seat by their table.
''Er... Homework.'' Was Scotts' great explanation while Stiles still seemed to have lost his tongue only getting out a small sound of agreement.
''Why is she sitting with us?'' Stiles whispered as he leaned closer to Mickey, the later just shrugged as he grabbed his apple and smiled as he noticed Allison entering the room. Her chocolate brown eyes meeting his green bringing a smile to her lips, he loved the fact that he had that effect on the girl.
''Hey.'' She greeted happily as she walked up to their table, Scott quickly noticed her and took his bag away from the seat beside him to offer her the chair. ''Thanks.''
''Had fun in class?'' Mickey asked as he took a bite of his apple noting that his green eyes almost matched the color of the apple in his hand, weird.
''As fun as you can have while sitting through an English class.'' Allison sighed making it clear that the lesson hadn't been very fun, Mickey chuckled at her clearly annoyed expression earning himself a teasing glare from the beautiful girl. ''You're a jerk,'' she noted with a smirk.
''So I've heard, it was some kind of an animal attack... Probably a cougar.'' Danny the ever so damn good looking gay guy started up the conversation, his statement grabbing all the attention.
''I heard it was a mountain lion.'' Jackson corrected as he was obviously right and Danny wrong, Mickey just snorted while the other seemed rather unimpressed.
''A cougar is a mountain lion.'' Mickey corrected earning himself weird looks from the others but he ignored them with a shrug, it was the truth.
''Who cares?'' Jackson tried to play it off as an attempt to not look stupid. ''It was probably a homeless tweaker who was gonna die anyway.''.
''Actually, I just found out who it is, check it out.'' Stiles who had been fiddling with his phone suddenly said positioning his phone at an angle so everyone could see, a video of the news flashing over the screen.
Mickey stayed with his back resting comfortably against the back of his chair, one ear listening on what the reporter was speaking while his green eyes were stuck on the deep brown of Allisons' eyes. She was smiling at him which he returned, leaning forward so he could snatch a grape from her plate.
''Wait, I know this guy!'' Scott suddenly exclaimed taking their attention away from the phone, all eyes turned to Scott as they waited for him to explain what he knew.
ARGENT'S HOUSE
They were in Allisons' room, both lying in bed in each other's arms and just relaxed. Mickey knew they wouldn't get to spend the night together, Allison already had plans with Scott tonight and in many ways it hurt but he wouldn't voice his feelings. He'd promised himself from the beginning to do everything not to loose this beautiful girl, however much he hated it.
''Are you sure you're fine with this?'' She asked as she stood in front of her bedroom mirror, trying to figure out if her outfit really did go with her jacket.
He just shrugged from where he laid on the bed, eyes focused on his phone as he went through his Facebook page, ''What's there not to be okay with?''
''You're right,'' Allison mused as she turned around to show him her outfit, a brilliant smile forming on her lips as he approved of her outfit with a gentle smirk, ''He and I are just friends, nothing more.''
''You know he likes you,'' Mickey reminded her as she finally made her way towards the bed, letting him gently drag her into his embrace. He let his nose bury into her hair, breathing in the wonderful scent of flowers and strawberries.
She hesitated as she just laid there, head slowly turning so she could look him in the eyes, ''I'm going to tell him about us.''
Her words were final and however much Mickey wanted to be the one to come clean, he figured it wouldn't make much of a difference who told the poor guy. He held her closer, his pale green eyes drowning in the warmth of her own brown eyes. They both leaned forward, their lips almost touching.
''Bad timing?'' A female voice came from the doorway, startling the both of them. Mickey quickly turned his eyes towards the door but relaxed when he realized that it was just Lydia Martins, Allisons' best friend.
''Nah, I was just about to leave,'' He smirked as he kissed the top of Allisons' head before gently guiding her away from him so he could get off the bed, Lydia was looking at him with a teasing expression on her beautiful face as he walked up to her. He stopped right by her in the doorway before turning his pale green eyes back to Allison who was smiling at him, ''I'll see you tomorrow.''
