So I decided that I would just switch back and forth depending on how I feel like writing between Mackenzie's POV and third person. I'll just tell you when I do. Enjoy!

Chapter 3- Mackenzie

I am so happy that I finally found my REAL family! It's Thursday and I am sitting at my Dad's desk waiting for school to be over so that Stiles could come pick me up. My dad kept on pushing back when he wanted me to start but I'm starting school tomorrow because I don't really see a reason that I need to stay home anymore. I'm not too ecstatic about starting on a Friday either but I don't want to wait any longer. I am so nervous. What if I don't make any friends? What if Brett goes to my school?

Of course he doesn't I remember him telling me that he went to a prep school and I'm going to a public school. Stupid. I hope Stiles will show me around and it won't be embarrassing for him. I just want to have an easy time here and not have to deal with any stupid people or hard decisions like I did at my old school. I'll worry about school tomorrow when it's actually happening. Now I'll just worry about Stiles. He's picking me up from the station after school and is going to take me to hang out with him and catch up with him.

I was just thinking about what Stiles would be like all these years later when the man himself came rushing through the door. "Hey ready to go?" He smiled down at me.

"So ready" I jumped up at ran out the door, saying bye to my dad on the way out. As we walked outside and Stiles started leading me toward his car I asked him, "So where are we going?"

He let me into the car as he said, "I thought we could go to a late lunch and then I'd introduce you to some of my friends that you'll be going to school with. Then we could go home and watch a movie. How does that sound?"

"That sounds awesome."

As we were driving Stiles' phone rang and he had to answer it. I was trying not to listen but come on; he was right next to me.

"Now?... But I was going to go to hang out with Kenzie today… I can't because I already picked her up… how important?... fine but remember what I told you."

He huffed as he hung up. I turned to him, "Is everything okay?"

He smiled at me briefly, "Yeah everything's fine we just have a change in schedule. I think we could meet my friends first and then eat at home while we watch the movie. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah that's fine just as long as I can catch up with you."

He smiled at me and kept driving. Before I knew it we were at a house, but it wasn't ours. I got out of the jeep and walked with Stiles up to the door. He just opened the door and walked in but gestured for me to follow when I hesitated. As I walked into the house I saw Scott, an older looking guy I didn't recognize, 3 girls that I didn't recognize, and a younger boy with the most amazing blue eyes I have ever seen in my entire life. I have never felt more awkward than in this moment.

Stiles spoke up first, "Guys this is my sister Mackenzie" All of them except Scott looked shocked. I glanced over at the blue eyed boy to catch him looking at me and I immediately looked away blushing. He whispered something to Scott and then told everyone he had to go. My brother patted him on the back as he left but no one else has said anything yet.

The girl with strawberry blonde hair was the first to break the silence, "Well then, I'll go first. I'm Lydia" She walked up and smiled as she hugged me. She must've broken the others out of their trance and I learned that the dark haired girl was Kira, the dirty blonde was Malia, and the older looking guy was Derek and of course I knew Scott. As soon as everyone was introduced Scott grabbed my brother and told Derek and Malia to stay with me while they took Kira and Lydia upstairs with them.

After telling Derek and Malia basically my entire life story I learned that along with Lydia, Kira, and Scott, Malia was a junior like my brother. Derek just hung out with them I guess which is kind of weird but hey, I don't judge. Malia told me that they would look out for me at school. She seems really nice and I think that she is dating my brother but I really don't know it sounds confusing. But that's his problem.

"So Mackenzie, are you coming to the lacrosse rematch tomorrow?" Malia smiled at me.

"I don't know I didn't know Stiles played lacrosse."

"Yeah, Stiles, Scott, and Kira are all on the team. There were some difficulties when we scrimmaged this one team last time so we decided on a rematch."

"Oh okay I mean, I might go"

"You should definitely go! You can sit with me and Lydia." She smiled cheerfully at me.

I thought it over for a moment but finally agreed. "Okay sounds like fun."

As soon as I agreed to go, everyone came running down the stairs. Malia turned to Stiles and told her that I was coming to the game tomorrow and Stiles immediately looked worried.

"She's gonna stay with you and Lydia right?" He looked really concerned which made me confused.

Malia just nodded and looked just as confused as me. Stiles leaned down to whisper something to Lydia and she just nodded as he turned to me and said, "Ready to go?"

I nodded and got up from my seat on the couch and headed towards the door. "Bye guys it was nice to meet you all" I smiled at them and gave a small wave. I was happy I met a bunch of new people but still a little upset because I really wanted to spend today with my brother. I'm sure we can hang out later though. I just sighed as I got into the jeep and waited for him to come out.

Stiles came out and hopped into the jeep and started driving but about halfway home he finally spoke up, "I'm sorry Kenzie, I really did want to spend today with you but that got interrupted and I'm sorry"

I'm glad he didn't just decide he didn't want to spend time with me. "That's okay Stiles just as long as you don't always blow me off. But I get to see you play tomorrow so that's exciting too."

He smiled and when we got home he plopped on the couch and patted the seat next to him

"Movie?"

3rd POV

The next day Mackenzie was up at 5:30 trying to make herself look presentable for her first day at school. She was so nervous; she didn't want to make a bad impression. She picked out a plain white skirt and floral shirt with her black converse to wear. She did light makeup and slightly curled her hair so it was wavy. She was ready for school and skipping down the hall to head downstairs as Stiles was just waking up, groggily walking out of his room.

"Morning Stiles!" Mackenzie chirped at her older brother.

"Morning Kenzie" Stiles slurred out still clearly tired as he headed to the bathroom. Mackenzie made her way downstairs to see her dad making breakfast. As he greeted her and passed her a plate she sat down at the table and started to eat.

Stiles came down the stairs ready to go a few minutes later. He grabbed a piece of bacon as he faced Mackenzie, "I thought we could go a little early today so we could pick up your schedule and I could show you around."

"Okay!" Mackenzie jumped out of her chair, grabbed her book bag and said bye to her dad while skipping out to Stiles' jeep. Stiles laughed at her excitement mixed with nerves and started the drive to school.

When they got to school all of Mackenzie's excitement vanished and she was overcome with panic. Stiles started to get out when he realized she was frozen in place, "Come on Mackenzie"

She just shook her head and stayed in place. Stiles went around to the passenger side of the car and opened the door. He grabbed Mackenzie's hand and helped her out of the jeep. "It'll be okay Kenzie. I'll walk you to your first class and if you need anything just call me and I'll be there. Now come on lets go get your schedule."

Mackenzie gulped as they started their journey to the office to get her schedule. Once they got her schedule and locker Stiles led her to her locker and then walked her to her first class.

Mackenzie got through the day relatively well. The blue eyed boy from Scott's house was in a few of her classes which she liked but she didn't really know who he was. She ate lunch with Stiles and his friends so she wasn't alone there. But now it was her last class of the day and she has no idea where she was going.

Mackenzie was just staring at the piece of paper telling where she was supposed to be but not telling her how to get there while rounding the corner. Big mistake. As soon as she turned the corner she ran into a hard chest, losing her balance and heading for the ground. She shut her eyes bracing herself for the fall when she felt strong arms wrap around her instead of hitting the hard floor. When she opened her eyes she looked up to find those amazing blue eyes staring back at her.

As he helped her stand up he finally spoke, "I'm so sorry I should've watched where I was going, are you okay?"

Mackenzie was snapped out her trance by his question, "Um yeah I'm fine but it's not your fault. I should've been paying attention instead of looking at my stupid schedule."

"Do you need help?" He asked holding his hand out for her schedule.

She nodded as she handed it to him and as he looked at it, he knew exactly where her next class was, "Oh I have this math class too, we can walk together" He smiled at her as he handed her back the piece of paper.

Great, Mackenzie thought, he has to have the perfect smile too. This is going to be a harder year than I thought.

She smiled back at him as they started walking, "Thanks…"

"Liam"

"Right well thanks Liam"

"You're Mackenzie right? Stiles' sister?"

"Yup that's me"

"So does that mean you're coming to the game tonight?" He looked at her hopefully. As much as Liam didn't want to admit it, Mackenzie was gorgeous. He loved how her hair was the perfect shade of brunette and she had the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes.

"Yeah I am. Are you going?"

He laughed, "Yeah I'm playing in it"

"You're on the team? That's so cool!"

"Yeah I am" The pair turned into the classroom and as soon as Mackenzie started towards the back corner Liam grabbed her arm to stop her, "Come sit by me." Mackenzie blushed as Liam led her to the middle of the classroom.

Liam sat down and gestured for Mackenzie to sit in the seat next to him. Mackenzie set down her things and slid into the seat as class was starting. She paid attention to the lesson for the most part, but couldn't help letting her mind wander. She learned this already at her old school anyway.

Mackenzie couldn't help but worry that she was going to get taken away and whisked back to San Diego. She knew it was a possibility because that's just how her other mom was but she didn't want to worry the Sheriff or Stiles. She always wanted an older brother but kept thinking something was up with Stiles. She had only been here for barely a week but every time Stiles had to do something with Scott or any of his friends he would get really secretive.

And when she asked him about last night he just got really quiet and quickly changed the subject. Mackenzie must've zoned out the entire period because the next thing she knew Liam was standing over her saying her name.

"Mackenzie? Are you okay?"

She looked up to see him looking down at her with a concerned look in her eyes.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just thinking." She stood up and reached for her books but Liam beat her to them. "I got these"

She smiled at him but still reached for them, "Thanks but I think I can manage."

He pulled the books out or her reach, "Nope I insist, it'll give me a reason to walk you to your locker." Mackenzie blushed at that comment and started walking out of the class with Liam.

The whole way to her locker they were just talking and laughing which was something Mackenzie hadn't done with a boy in a long time. But as soon as she brought up the lacrosse game he suddenly looked like he wanted to punch the lockers.

"I'm sorry; did I do something to upset you?" Mackenzie looked up at him with an apologetic look. He went from looking straight ahead to looking into her eyes. "No! No, you didn't say anything wrong it's just that the school we're playing tonight is my old school and there is one particular guy that I really don't like. And it just so happens that they just arrived."

Mackenzie turned around to see a school bus unloading a bunch of kids but one kid stood out in particular to her. Brett. Mackenzie quickly turned around to face Liam again as she let out a "Shit."

Liam looked at her skeptically, "Is there something wrong?"

"Well it just so happens that I kind of know one of those people and-"

Mackenzie was cut off by the sound of her name that could've only come from one person. "Mackenzie!"

Mackenzie closed her eyes and took a deep breath before turning around and trying to act cheerful as she said, "Brett! Hi I didn't know-" But Mackenzie didn't get to finish because Brett cut her off by pushing her against the lockers and forcefully pressing his lips to hers.

Liam was immediately filled with anger as he watched his enemy assault Mackenzie. He already hated him and this just made his hatred stronger. He heard Scott telling him to remember what he has taught the Beta and control his anger. Scott must've been watching them. He was starting to like Mackenzie but if this was what she liked he might have to rethink this. It didn't look like she was interested from Liam's perspective.

Mackenzie tried pushing him off of her but he was too strong. Sounds familiar doesn't it? Wow she really needs to start working out. As soon as Brett started moving his hands lower and lower on her back, she just brought her hand up and slapped him right in the face.

"Thank you for the wonderful welcome Brett, but we kind of broke up."

He got closer again as he said, "But only because I moved. And now that you're here we can rekindle that love. You never told me you were coming here."

As Mackenzie turned to grab her books from Liam and put them into her locker she muttered under her breath only loud enough for her to hear, "Maybe because I didn't want you to know so I wouldn't have to look at your face."

As soon as she said that, she heard Liam chuckle. Well I guess he heard her. Brett immediately turned to Liam, "What do you think is so funny Liam? Is he bothering you Mack? Cause if you are I swear-" Mackenzie cut him off and pushed him away from Liam, "He's not bothering me, if you can believe it that I, a human being, enjoy other people's company" She raised her eyebrows at him, "And can you please never call me Mack again? I've told you a million times."

Brett completely ignored Mackenzie as continued to stare down Liam, "If you don't leave her alone, the lacrosse field won't be the only place I destroy you." And with that, he pushed past Liam and walked on but not without turning back to shoot Mackenzie a wink to which she rolled her eyes at.

As soon as he was gone Mackenzie turned to Liam and opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She wanted to say something but then it dawned on her that she had been completely embarrassed in front of the one guy she might actually like. Her life sucks.

Liam couldn't believe it either. Brett was such an ass and he can't believe Mackenzie ever dated him. But a small little threat from Brett wasn't going to stop him from talking to Mackenzie, especially not when he had Scott on his side. He looked at Mackenzie to see her face turn red as she shoved her locker shut while saying, "Sorry about that I'm really sorry, I… uh..." She looked like a panicked little deer. It was kind of cute.

She finally squeaked out, "I'll see you at the game. Good luck, Bye." As she rushed past him to see her brother and Scott standing not too far ahead. As soon as she reached them, she looked up at her brother, "Can you take me home please?"

From the time she had shown up she seemed like such a confident, sarcastic girl. But now Stiles could see that she was just embarrassed and that is what made her vulnerable.

"Do you still want to go to the game after all that just happened?" He looked down at her.

Mackenzie gulped, "You saw all that?"

All Stiles did was nod.

"Oh… well I'll still go, I still want to see you play."

"Well I have to stay here, but do you want me to drive you home, and you can come with Dad?"

Mackenzie shook her head, "No that's okay, and if you have to stay I will to. I'll just wait."

Stiles really didn't want her to stick around. He was still worried that something bad would happen. He didn't want to tell her that she couldn't though with the way she was feeling.

"Okay then you can come with me and Scott for right now but when we have to get ready you can find a seat in the bleachers."

Mackenzie just nodded and followed her brother and his friend around while they did the things they needed to before they had to go to the locker room.

As Scott and Stiles went into the locker room, Mackenzie just decided to wait in the hallway for a while before she had to find a seat. She was just leaning against the wall scrolling through her phone when a tall figure appeared right in front of her.

She looked up to see the one person she really didn't want to see at the moment, "What do you want Brett?"

He looked her up and down while moving closer to her, "Well we didn't exactly get alone time earlier but now, oh look, we're alone"

He started moving closer as Mackenzie held up a hand to keep him a good distance away from her. "Can you just leave me alone?"

"Oh come on Mackenzie! I know you missed me and I know exactly what you want now that you and I are together again" he said as he grabbed her waist in an attempt to get closer.

"No that is the complete opposite of what I want and I said can you please leave me alone!"

"Mackenzie don't yell at me I know that-"

"I believe she said that she wanted you to leave her alone" A voice came from the left that made both heads turn.

Mackenzie let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. It was Liam.

Brett finally let go of Mackenzie as he started towards Liam, "What did you say?"

Even though Brett was taller than him Liam stood his ground, "You heard me. I said leave her alone. And if I remember correctly this is the locker room for the school and you don't go here, so you should probably run along."

Brett looked shocked by what Liam had said but just shot him a glare before turning around and heading toward the field. As soon as Brett was gone, Liam went up to Mackenzie and looked at her with those eyes that made Mackenzie melt, "Are you okay?" He seemed to be saying that a lot lately.

"Umm yeah I'm okay. I should probably go get a seat for the game." She looked at the ground.

Liam looked concerned but just said, "Okay just make sure to cheer me on" He laughed as he turned to leave but stopped when he heard his name,

"Liam" Mackenzie hesitated but engulfed him in a hug, "Thank you" As she pulled back she smiled and then headed out towards the field.

As Mackenzie walked away Scott turned to Stiles having seen the whole thing, "We need to watch Liam, he's going to want to kill Brett tonight."

Stiles just stared straight ahead as he gripped his lacrosse stick,

"He's not the only one."
