"Nokomis, there's a girl at the door asking for you – says her name is Kira!" The loud shouting vibrated throughout the quaint, two bedroom and one-in-a-half bath house, causing the girl that was currently being informed of a visitor to jump in surprise.

Who knew someone had the ability to literally scream out words? Definitely not Noko, but that was beside the point and something that she could think about later… right now she needed to be more concerned as to who and why this person was at her door, the name Kira had most certainly held no recognition within her mind.

Quickly throwing on some clothes (skinny jeans, a cute little blouse with a leather-like brown jacket, and some colorful nicky shoes that just so happened to match her shirt's own patter of color), she fixed the lipstick that she had scribbled across half of her face when her Aunt startled her and hurried to the front of their house where she then opened the door to reveal one of the three girls that had sat with her at lunch yesterday – one of the many Juniors whom had totally freaked her out with all of those weird questions about supernatural things and how Beacon Hills was actually a Beacon.

After pulling the door shut behind her, Nokomis crossed her arms and furrowed her brow in both confusion and annoyance. "Are you guys stalkers or something, because I know for a fact that I didn't give any of you my home address." Her tone was firm and her lips were pursed, a perfect outer exterior to hide her quickened pulse on the interior.

The black haired Asian only shook her head, a friendly laugh flooding from her parted lips as she went about attempting to explain – her hands gesturing at every word, "No, I assure you that we are not stalking you. I actually live in a house right down the road from her and saw you get off the bus yesterday."

"Well, that's a relief… but it still doesn't explain to me why you're here." Untangling her arms, Nokomis let the fall to her sides where her hands found their way into her jacket pockets – slowly becoming more comfortable with the situation (slowly).

"I'm here to offer you a ride to school! As an apology for yesterday. Scott and Stiles can be a bit… strange at times and they shouldn't have interrogated you like they did." Kira smile, her voice chipper-y.

Considering the proposal at hand, Nokomis decided there was no harm in accepting a friendly offer of carpool. What could it hurt? "Okay, let me just grab my things real quick." She said before heading back in to collect her bag that was still on the table in the kitchen where she had tossed it yesterday evening.

In all truthfulness, she hadn't even given a second thought towards what the apparent Scott and Stiles had quizzed her over during lunch. Some people were just plain nutty, and who was she to judge… but now that she did recount the memory, there was a moment when one of the boys (she didn't rightly know who was who) gave her this sort of look. It was almost as if he was looking straight into her soul – and yeah that's when she got up and left.

Once again opening the front door, she turned back and called a goodbye to her Aunt Khari who was sitting in the living room.

Her declared 'guardian' didn't have to work today, so she could have taken her to school – but Nokomis had declined the offer, convincing her that it was doing her good to get back into socializing with other kids her age by taking the bus. Though that wasn't exactly what was happening now, she was still interacting with someone and she figured that had to count for something. Besides, she'd never know the difference.

The whole fifteen minutes that it took for Kira to drive them to school was filled with loads of things to talk about, and Nokomis honestly enjoyed their little chat.

Let's see – they talked about boys (Scott particularly though that was mostly Kira), there was a conversation about how they both loved animals (both being partial to the canine species more than any other), Kira explained who was who within the group that she'd met yesterday (the names: Lydia and Malia were the only new ones to Nokomis), and they even discussed the lacrosse try-outs that were taking place after school today.

Satisfied with her decision on tagging along with Kira this morning, Nokomis climbed her way out of the Asain's low-structural car and followed in behind as she'd been welcomed to come along and meet a few of the others more properly during the early lacrosse practice that was going on for a little while before school started up.

It was a bit unexpected at first, and really Noko thought that they'd bid each other farewells and never speak to one another again… but thankfully that wasn't the case here.

"This is Malia." Kira introduced the brunette that sat on the bleachers overlooking the field with a book in her lap and her eyes glued to whatever words were attached to it in a very determined manner (as they finally came to a halt). She looked up only to give a small nod, then went back to her reading. "She's struggling with math at the moment." The Asian whisper apologetically before pointing out to where all of the boys had gathered about to toss a few shots at the goal and goal protector – or goalie. "There goes Stiles – fumbling about as per the usual… and over there is Scott!"

Nokomis heard her perfectly and even acknowledge what the two boys looked like for a moment or two, but her full attention had been placed on the one who wore the number '9' jersey. Even with his helmet on, she could tell just by outer appearance and shown skill that it was Liam. She hadn't exactly noticed she was staring until he just so happened to look over and actually caught her in the act. Trying to cover up for her inappropriate gawking, she waved at him and felt the grin inching its way across her face as he did the same.

Kira, whom had witnessed the whole thing, crossed her arms and gave her an accusing look before asking, "and who might that be?"

Caught off guard, Nokomis fumbled over words, trying to figure out the best way to get herself out of such an awkward situation. "He's just a friend." She was finally able to blurt out, but Kira only shook her head at the answer she'd been given and mumbled out an 'mmhhmm' then turned to follow the direction of where the Romanian had previously been looking. "Well, if I was you – I wouldn't be trying to call him just my friend." She snickered and elbowed Nokomis jokingly, her facials lighting up once more before turning to sit down beside the still studying Malia.

"Really, I only just met him yesterday! Oh, whatever, I better be getting to first period. See you guys later." Nokomis said, her words firstly rushed and filled with obvious frustration in the fact that anytime a girl had a guy as a friend someone always had to assume that they'd end up dating but then turned soft as she offered a goodbye and started toward the main building. There's no denying the attraction that she felt whenever she thought about or saw Liam, but relationships were so complicated (all the ones that she'd ever been in anyways) and Noko hadn't the desire to be a part of one so soon in her new life at Beacon Hills… but despite all that she still couldn't fight the anticipation of getting to see him once he made it to their English class after he'd finished practicing.

A/N :: Yay, two chapters in one day! Hopefully that makes up for the shortness of them… but anyways, in the next chapter you can all expect all sorts of dramatical things! Thank you to those that have started to follow my beloved story :3

Don't forget to leave me some reviews! Oh, and how about we start it all off with a trivia question? Awesome, here it goes who is your favorite character on Teen Wolf? You know you wanna answer it! Personally, I cannot do without Derek and I do strongly believe that if he got killed off I would die right along with him!

Also, totally sorry about the grammatical errors you guys – I've fixed them all… I think!
