I walked through the door at about twenty minutes after midnight and I found my mom standing at the bottom of the stair case not looking too happy. "Where have you been?" she barked crossing her arms as if I did something wrong, which I hadn't except for not coming home to be with Aideen.

"I was helping Derek train Scott some more. The alpha attacked again," I sighed with anger.

"What do you mean?" she asked, flames in her eyes.

"I mean, the video store in the heart of town was attacked and Jackson and Lydia were at the wrong place at the wrong time."

"Are they ok?"

"They should be. I mean, a little trauma struck, but I'll give it a day or two for them to be completely normal again," I shrugged kissing her head and walked past her. But she had other plans and grabbed onto my wrist and pushed me in the kitchen. Her face had changed back into being mad at me for some unknown reason.

"What's this?" she asked pulling a ripped open envelope. "I can't believe I let you go with Scott and Stiles to the movie tonight," she said bitterly waving the envelope in the air. I couldn't get a good look at it, but when she slammed it on the counter I saw it was the letter from the school reminding my mom about Teacher Parent Conference night. I still had a D but it was a high D in my math class and it said that I must attend with her the conference. Beacon Hills High had this strict law that any student failing a class must attend the conference, and I had no choice.

"Oh that," I said not really caring, "Yeah, I just forgot to give it to you," I added before turning around but my mom had slapped the back of my head and turned me around.

"If you do not get any good reviews from your teachers I am personally going to your next lacrosse practice and telling your coach you aren't playing the rest of the year."

"You can't do that! We have our biggest game Friday," I protested. Ok so even though I didn't think Homecoming was that big of a game, I had to think of something for her to feel sort of sorry for me.

"I don't care if you were in state. I will do it, Justin. Mark my words! Now go to bed," she sighed as I walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs skipping a few steps once in a while. I had two classes to fear. Science was at like a 71 and I was getting by just by a hair. And in Math I had a 67 which could get me off the team, but I didn't care right now. I was exhausted and I would come up with a plan during school tomorrow involving Lydia and Aideen.

I woke up early and crammed my folders in my bag and ran out to my car. I got in and headed over to my mom's shop. There was one person I knew who was up at six in the morning and that was Reg, who basically had no life. I ran in the shop and slammed my bag on the counter.

"Dude, I need your help?"

"What did you do know?" he asked rolling his eyes.

"Tonight is Teacher Parent Conference night and I need to get a good grade on this homework. I can't get a hold of Lydia, so can you please help me?" I begged, as he crossed his arms. "I'll take your shift for a week."

"Make it two."

"Fine whatever," I smiled throwing the papers on the glass table. After handing him the paper work, I walked behind the counter as some people of our older clients were making their way in.

"Mrs. Carmichael, how are we today?" I asked as Reg walked into the back room to finish my homework.

"Fine, just fine, Justin. Listen, its Mr. Carmichael's birthday tonight…"

"Say no more, I got just what you need," I smiled walking into the backroom. I went to the back freezer and looked through the glass until I found the perfect one. I placed it in a box and quickly made my way to the front. "How's this Mrs. C?" I asked opening the box as she started laughing. The cake had an old man sleeping in a golf cart and she placed the money on the counter. "And if he doesn't like it, tell him I picked it," I laughed as she pinched my cheek.

"He will sweetie. Oh, and tell Reggie that the next time he does your homework he should do it someplace that no one can see him," she laughed hollering at the door. After she left I walked into the back room and found Reg nearly halfway done with my homework.

"How's it going?" I asked as he looked up at me. I knew his face like the back of my hand and the expression he had on told me to back off and get back behind the register. I sat on the stool and pulled my history book out waiting for Reg to finish, any customers, and to leave for school. The little bell rang and I placed the book open to where I left off, as I looked up I could feel my heart rise into my throat. "Hey Mr. Argent. You want another cake?" I laughed as he shook his head and leaned on the counter.

"I want to talk to you."

"M-me?" I asked feeling totally uneasy. He rested his hand on my shoulder and I flinched.

"You ok?"

"Yeah, I am just a little out of it; I got Teacher Parent Conference tonight," I said as he looked down at my history book.

"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me,. So what are you reading there?" he asked as I looked down at the page.

"Nothing, I was just flipping through," I nodded. "So is there anything in particular reason you came?"

"Oh that's right. I was just wondering, where were you last night?"

"What do you mean?" I wasn't going to come right out with it and tell him I was with my friends, why did he care anyways?

"I mean, what did you do last night? Simple as that."

"Oh, well I just went to the movies with Scott and Stiles. Why do you want to know? You don't think I had anything to do with that murder did you?" I asked looking in his eyes as they for one second looked away.

"No, of course not, I just look at Aideen as one of my daughters and she came home rather quickly last night. I just wanted to make sure you two were ok," he said becoming very defensive.

Reg came out and placed my homework in my bag as I grabbed my book from the counter. I pulled my back pack on my shoulder and thanked Reg, then turned to Mr. Argent and nodded.

"I'm sorry, but I need to get to school," I said coldly before I walked away and out to my car. Without giving him a chance to stop me I pulled out of the parking lot and drove to school, when I pulled up the first bell had rung it I had three minutes to get to class, so I slammed my door, locked it, and ran into the building dodging people as I ran by. I got to my math class and sat down in my normal seat and found both Lydia and Aideen's seats empty. I understood Lydia, but Aideen never skipped. I sat there and pulled the homework Reg did out and placed it on my desk as the teacher began walking up the aisles.

He grabbed my paper and looked down at me. "Well Mr. Topain, let's hope you can stay with the class today," he sighed pointing to the two empty seats. I sat there feeling completely lost in the first five minutes and my phone began to vibrate in my pocket. I quickly pulled it out and saw it was from Stiles.

Have you seen Scott or Allison?

I replied immediately with a no and looked back at the teacher who was still talking about some theory I had never heard of, and I knew I was going to be a dead wolf tonight.
