Everything went in a blinding flash, and no one really could pretty much comprehend what happened.
"Did you see that?" Sierra exclaimed then immediately jumped off the Bleachers from the top and landing perfectly onto the ground. She then began charging over to the scene. She could vaguely hear Chelsea calling her to stop.
She tried barging through the increasing crowd of lacrosse players as they watched Liam struggling to get up.
"Liam!" Sierra gasped.
"Stay away from him! Don't touch him!" Coach exclaimed as he tried moving closer to Liam who had slowly tried lifting himself up but he began clenching his fists. His breathing hitched and he inhaling and exhaling viciously.
As if on cue, the two senior lacrosse dudes ran up to him and helped him up. They both seemed pretty worried about Liam, just as much as Sierra was although, the captain looked extra anxious as he whispered things in Liam's ears. Sierra frowned.
The Captain glared at Brett –with eyes of disappointment so to say– who walked away almost immediately.
"I think we'll just send him into the infirmary." The tall scrawny dude informed as he threw an arm of Liam around his shoulder.
"Go!" The coach ushered with a nod and cussed to himself as he stared at Liam's hyperventilating body.
The two senior's scurried past Sierra and into the schoolyards.
Sierra frowned as she drifted her gaze away and caught Brett sitting by the bleachers and staring directly at her, fiddling with his lacrosse stick.
Sierra immediately felt uncomfortable and shifted her gaze from his quickly.
She knew that at that moment…
She wasn't going to be particularly friends with the new guy.
… …
Lacrosse practice ended soon after and Sierra rushed her way over the School's infirmary to check up on Liam.
When she reached the office, she could hear voices coming from it and she slightly took a step away from the door.
"Your rib was cracked but it seems like it healed fairly quickly. You certainly haven't punctured anything." The nurse's voice cooed.
"Yet," Sierra heard Liam's laugh.
She smiled.
"Try to stay positive Mr. Dunbar and be careful on the field. I've had you coming in here way too many times." The nurse warned.
Liam nodded slightly.
"Anyway…everything else is okay, so I think I can discharge you from this prison." She joked then got up from her chair and walked out of the room, not noticing Sierra standing by.
Sierra took it as a sign to enter but was immediately halted when an unfamiliar voice reached her ears, coming from the room.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What do you mean 'what's wrong with me?'" Liam's voice appeared irritated. "Why the hell did you do that back there? Actually, why the hell are you even here?"
"I did it because you still aren't grateful Liam."
"Grateful?" Liam exclaimed. "What am I ungrateful for?" Liam questioned.
"For having Scott," The voice pointed out. Liam scoffed. "I've watched you for the past months and you're still aren't seeing how lucky you are."
"If I was so lucky, then why am I always getting attacked?" Liam asked.
"It builds your strength…power…pain gives you a need to rebel against all the negative effects of life. That's why we fight on a daily basis. That's why we're-" The dude trailed off as he lifted his head and sniffed the air.
He sighed.
"You know what; I don't have time for this." The dude stated.
"Bye," Liam said almost pleadingly.
"One piece of advice this semester: You back away from my business and I back away from yours. Agreed?" The dude said sternly.
"Never could've agreed more." Liam replied.
Sierra wondered what the weird conversation was about. It was filled with threatening links to it that Sierra couldn't understand.
Then the dude left for the door and Sierra got a proper look at him to see that it was Brett Talbot.
He narrowed his angry eyes at Sierra and stared at her in complete disgust. She tried to hide away from it as quickly possible as she entered the room.
Liam lifted his head from pulling his protective armbands and smirked slightly at her.
"Hey," He simply said.
Sierra smiled.
"How are you feeling?" She asked him in complete concern as she stood by the door. He sighed and shrugged.
"I'm still in school so I guess I'm a little below the jubilant line." He replied. She smiled a little as she fully entered the room. She stared the small gauze under his shirt.
"What did the nurse say?" Sierra asked.
"Nah, she just said I broke my rib a little but it healed and put a band-aid on the bruise I had." He said motioning to the Superman band-aid on the right side of his rib. Sierra giggled at how predictable that was.
"What?" Liam smiled with a blush playing off his cheeks. She shook her head.
"Nothing," She whispered. Liam shrugged as he pulled off his kneepads. "So uh…"
"I got you your jacket, thought you might need it." Sierra said as she handed it to him.
"Thanks," He said sincerely. She nodded.
"So you're friends with Brett?" Sierra asked as she sat on the stool beside Liam's bed.
"No." He snarled and gritted his teeth ferociously. "He's just a jerk."
"I'm guessing." Sierra chuckled. Liam smiled.
Sierra frowned when she saw something radiating from Liam. She leaned her hand forward so she could feel Liam's burning forehead. Liam groaned.
"You look really…hot." She told him as she moved from her seat and went over to grab some water and a wet cloth. She went back to sit beside Liam and planted the cloth on his forehead. Liam gazed deeply into Sierra's eyes with such intensity as this happened and vice versa.
"Feeling better?" She asked weakly as she literally got lost in his eyes. He nodded in reply not breaking the interlocked moment.
Unfortunately, the moment was cut short when the bell rang through the school building. Liam refrained from groaning at the piercingly clamorous sound.
"Uh…I should probably get to going." Sierra said, removing her gaze from Liam and settled for fiddling with her bracelet. Liam nodded.
"Thanks for the visit…and my jacket." Liam said with a chuckle. Sierra blushed.
"Yeah…you left it at the bleachers earlier so I thought I'd give it to you." She told him.
"Why didn't you just leave it in my locker?" Liam asked.
"Um…I don't have your locker combination?" Sierra guessed. Liam frowned before laughing.
"Sorry, I guess I better give you it." He said pulling a pen and a piece of paper. Sierra laughed nervously.
"You don't have to do that." She said.
"Hey, I want to." He glared at her. She blushed and nodded.
"You honestly think you can trust me with your locker combination?" Sierra teased but she sounded genuine.
"I trust you because I know you're not the kind of person who'd break the law." He said jokingly. She widened her eyes and crossed her arms.
"Oh really?" she questioned. He shrugged and she just rolled her eyes, then her phone immediately vibrated in her pocket. She pulled it out and read it then her face fell completely.
"What?"
"I-I'm sorry. I better go. I better go." She said, and then leaned in to plant a small peck on Liam's cheek before throwing her back on her shoulder. "See you tomorrow."
Sierra walked out of the room, leaving Liam smiling from ear to ear.
When she left, she heard two voices in a deep conversation in front of her.
"What do you think Brett wants from Liam?" The Asian girl asked the captain.
"I don't know Kira. I guess I'll have to talk to Liam."
The couple spun their heads at Sierra as she stood feet away from them.
"Um…sorry," She apologized. The captain looked at her and shook his head.
"No. It's okay." He said. "You must be Sierra? Liam's classmate, right?"
Sierra nodded.
"I'm Scott McCall." He introduced, with a steady handshake. "How's he doing?" He asked.
Sierra shrugged her shoulders slightly.
"I guess he's fine." She said shyly. Scott smiled warmly and she couldn't help but reply to that smile. It felt like he was in control with her emotions, definitely not like Liam had on her.
"I hope you don't mind us checking on him right?" Kira asked but it was in a teasing tone. She couldn't help but blush and nodded her head.
"Sure," She replied.
"Great meeting you," Scott dismissed and he and Kira walked into; to the infirmary. Sierra began walking up to her locker to put her books away. The moment she shut the locker, Chelsea's freaked out face popped up.
Sierra smiled.
"Hey," She greeted.
"What the hell are you doing?" She questioned. Sierra awkwardly threw her handbag on her shoulder.
"Um…getting ready to go home?" She stated but it came off more as a guess. Chelsea tapered her eyes.
"You just took off!" She exclaimed as if it were obvious.
"Liam got injured." Sierra said.
"How do you explain that little circus act jump you did?" Chelsea questioned.
"What circus act little jump?" Sierra frowned in befuddlement. Chelsea widened her eyes.
"You jumped off the Bleachers like a mission impossible ninja!" Chelsea exclaimed. "You my friend, have a death wish."
Sierra rolled her eyes.
"I'm supposed to react that way. Seven years in gymnastics." She replied.
"Okay…well, I guess that explains that." Chelsea said. "What about you suddenly just 'vanishing' out of thin air?" She added.
"I had to make sure Liam was okay." Sierra said.
"Of course," Chelsea nodded in realization. "Your boy-mate…"
"He is not my boy-mate. He's like a brother of mine." Sierra giggled nervously.
"Oh, so you won't mind me setting you up with a date for the Lacrosse game after party next week?" Chelsea asked.
Sierra widened her eyes and shook her head.
"No-"
"Okay. Well it's settled! It's a date!" Chelsea squealed as she backed away. "I was thinking a sophomore, or junior, a jock or even a Goth!"
Sierra tried to stop her but she was long gone.
This isn't good…
… …
Liam's Locker
Liam entered the Lacrosse locker room and walked up to his locker to see both his so called 'mentors of supernatural life' standing by the center. He frowned as he dropped his bag onto the bench.
"What?" Liam questioned nervously.
Scott and Stiles stood with their arms crossed in a professional stance.
"We know." Stiles stated.
Liam furrowed his eyebrows.
"What?"
"And we can help you." Scott added.
"Help me with what?" Liam asked.
"We know this because I've been through this before and I can help." Scott assured him.
"What are you guys talking about?" Liam asked.
"Oh his good." Stiles said turning to Scott. Liam's frown deepened.
Scott turned to his Beta and sighed.
"Sierra," He simply said. Liam's frown ceased and the whole situation became more awkward.
"What about her?" He asked.
"Y-you like her right?" Scott asked.
"Yeah I guess. She's cool." Liam shrugged.
"We mean. Do you like her?" Stiles conjectured, emphasizing the word. Liam raised his eyebrow.
"I just said that."
"She makes your heart pulse rise!" Stiles cut right to the chase. "And that's a problem."
Scott glared at him.
"And that's not the effect of the full moon in a few days." Stiles added. "You have the hots for her and its making your pulse hot too."
Liam chuckled.
"I don't have the hots for Sierra okay," Liam said. "So I'm just going to leave while I can."
"You do. We've never seen a girl that has this effect on you so in order to not shift in front of everybody; you need to stop seeing her. For a while," Scott said.
"Scott had the same problem but he learned how to control it. But you've got a higher chance." Stiles said.
"She could be his anchor?" Scott pointed out to his best friend. Stiles gasped in realization.
"Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. But it's still highly dangerous." Stiles replied.
"What?" Liam laughed. "Look. Sierra's just a friend and I don't think I'll date her. She definitely isn't raising my pulse. I've got it under control."
"You don't know that?" Stiles stated. Liam sighed as he turned his body around.
He didn't have time for this.
"Liam, wait-" Stiles stopped him but was immediately sent right through the locker as Liam growled viciously at him. He barred his teeth at him and you could sense that his werewolf side had been starting to show.
Scott and Stiles widened their eyes.
Liam lowered his breathing by exhaling all that excess air out and he slowly released Stiles from his shirt and took a step back.
"I'll be fine." He snarled as he grabbed his bag and left the room with his eyes…
Glowing…
