I ran to the lacrosse field to meet up with Stiles and Scott.
"Hey." I called as I saw Stiles sitting on the bench and Scott putting on goalie gear.
"Hey, what up you look strangely happy." Stiles said motioning for me to sit next to him.
"Yeah, um, I'm on the swim team." I said and he looked at me shocked.
"The swim team whatever, you suck at swimming." Stiles said disbelievingly.
"Wow, you really know how to compliment a girl, you know that?" I said sarcastically.
"Well sorry, but it's true, your swimming is worse than your coordination, and that's saying something." He said and I slapped him across the back of the head.
"Well it's true." He said defensively rubbing the back of his head.
"So he's really going though with it?" I asked dropping the subject and motioning to Scott.
"Yep."
"He does realize that he's an asthmatic sophomore who relies on a bike or his mom to get him everywhere, competing against upperclass men who have their own Porsche." We both knew who I was comparing him to.
"Yeah well-" I didn't hear what he said next because Coach Finstock blew his whistle so loud it hurt my ears.
I put my hands to my ears trying to stop the pain, it felt like my head was being split in two.
I heard a thud and looked up to see Scott on the ground, he hadn't caught the ball and ended up taking it to the face.
"Are you alright?" Stiles asked me.
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?" I was being defensive when I knew he was only caring about me like a friend should.
"Well maybe because you did this to yourself." He said moving his hand to the side of my face and showing me the thick liquid on his fingers.
"I scratched myself, so what, big deal." I said wiping away the blood, I looked at my hand seeing a lot more blood than expected, I quickly wiped it away on my jeans and looked at Scott ignoring Stiles plea for me to go to the nurse.
"Belle, go to the nurse."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because she'll make a big deal about it." I said looking at him briefly.
"You're bleeding from the side of your head, if she didn't make a big deal out of it I'd be worried." He countered, he had a point but I wasn't going to let him know that.
I saw them throw the ball at Scott, everything slowed down, I somehow knew that if I wanted to I could easily get up and catch it.
He caught the ball easily and Stiles and I looked at each other in shock, he caught the damn ball!
I was hoping that this would bring Stiles' attention to the game and away from me, but today just didn't seem to be my day.
"Go to the nurse." It wasn't a suggestion, it was an order and I knew it; the thing was I'd never been good at following orders.
"What, and miss Scott doing so well?" I asked he glared at me.
"Now." The only reason I'd decided to listen was because it was Stiles, had it been anyone else they most likely would have received a broken jaw.
"Fine." I said getting up and walking back towards the school.
I knew Stiles was watching me, I didn't feel his gaze falter until I'd walked in doors, I did however hear a swish and Stiles cheering, Scott must've caught another one.
The nurse made a fuss about my bleeding head as expected.
After an hour of her bandaging my head and checking my pulse and blood pressure, I was honestly surprised when she didn't check to see if I had any cavities considering how thorough she was being.
"Alright, you can go, and try not to hurt yourself anymore." She said moving aside so that I could make my escape.
I met up with Stiles and Scott outside of the locker rooms.
"So, what was the total? How many balls did you take to the face?" I asked Scott.
"One." He said looking at me smugly.
"One? Stiles is he lying to me?" I asked disbelievingly.
"Gee, thanks for the confidence booster." He said sarcastically.
"So, where you boys headed?" I asked dropping the previous subject.
"I made first line." Scott said and I looked at him in shock.
"That's amazing!" I said hugging him.
"Yeah look, Scott's first line and Belle's on the swim team, why do I feel like I'm missing the new athletic superpowers? We're you two left alone in a radioactive chamber, maybe you were both bitten by a radioactive spider." Stiles said sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes.
"You're on the swim team?" Scott asked disbelievingly.
"Yeah." I said grinning.
"But you suck at swimming." He told me as if I hadn't known.
"Well look who's the confidence booster now." I said rolling my eyes, Stiles laughed from next to me and I handed him my bags.
"Am I your slave now?" He asked holding my things.
"Well now that I think about it-" he cut me off.
"Haha, very funny." He said I smiled.
"So where are you boys off to?" I asked.
"Well, I dropped my inhaler in the woods last night and we're gonna go check out the dead body." Scott said.
"No."
"No, what?" Stiles asked.
"No you're not going, what if the killer's still out there? It's stupid and reckless so when are we leaving?" I asked grinning.
Stiles smiled, he knew me so well.
"I thought you said you had dinner with your parents tonight." Scott said.
"Yeah, I've been late before, it's not like one more time is gonna kill me." Scott shrugged and got into Stiles' jeep.
"I'll meet you guys there." I said walking to my car.
Part of me didn't want to see the body or whatever attacked me, but the other part of me, the stupid side wanted to see the beast, and more importantly, the thing that saved me.
