Arden's POV:

"Don't you kind of find it a bit ironic," I commented to my twin as we walked into our first class of the day "that the twin sisters manage to get lockers right next to each other?"

Meg shrugged her shoulder, causing her curled hair to fall down her back "Yeah, but I have a feeling someone from the main office thought it would be funny."

I crinkled my nose "If I wanted to be funny, I would've assigned twins with the same locker,"

Meg laughed, but lightly hit me on the stomach.

"You're terrible,"

I grinned "I know," noticing Stiles was already in here and claimed a desk. He grinned and waved, and I waved back, ignoring Meg's raised brow.

Believe me; I know what she was thinking.

I grabbed a window seat, a few desks away from Stiles while Meg took a spot near the door next to the guy we just met Danny (who is totally hot, but unfortunately gay).

"Cute shoes Arden,"

I snapped my head around to see Lydia sitting in the desk behind me.

"…Thanks?" I replied, kind of confused on why she was talking to me, considering we had met on pretty awkward circumstances.

I'd like to think that a deer hitting right through the window of your car and die right in front of you is pretty awkward.

"So, your Derek Hale's cousin?" she asked me, not beating me around the bush.

"I don't know: I'll have to check all the wedding photos, family get-together's and times I've been over at his house and get back to you on that one."

Her face cracked a thin, tight-lipped smile.

"Who told you anyways?" I asked her

"Stiles," She flicked her hair behind her shoulder "Normally I wouldn't care, but if Stiles is talking about a girl other than me, I figured she was worth my time."

I smirked, "You must be a complete joy hang out with, huh?"

"If I'm feeling generous," she replied, sadly not joking.

I nodded, looking around to see Meg get up and walk out of the classroom, almost bumping into two... Identical twins?

The two guys were both tall, buff, dark-eyed and brown-haired. One of them actually said something to her as they walked by and the other just looked at her.

What the hell? Meg and I can be the only identical twins in this joint!

It looked like I wasn't the only one who noticed another pair of twins: some of the girls (and Danny) had checked them out, including Lydia.

She twirled a piece of her hair, coyly saying "I want one,"

I rolled my eyes because, seriously? And then suddenly, I felt my phone vibrate against my leg.

I froze, thinking it was my dad, but instead it was Derek.

From Derek: I won't be home when you guys finish school, so you two will be going to Scott's house after school and I'll pick you up later.

Annoyed that Derek was disappearing off to Never land, Narnia or where ever the fuck he goes again, I texted him back.

To Derek: Where are you going? I don't think Scott's mom appreciates us just dropping by her house and staying until God knows when you decide to show up! What's going on Derek?

A minute later, I got a reply.

From Derek: Believe me, Scott and his mom don't mind. Nothing's going on; I'm just going out.

To Derek: All day five days in a row? Are you one of those people who go clubbing all day and night?

Even though he wasn't here, I could feel Derek scowling at me right now.

From Derek: No Arden…. I'm doing something pretty important.

To Derek: Will you ever tell me what?

From: Soon.

I responded with a quick "okay" and sighed.

Derek better have a good reason for why he's been acting so strange lately.

Focusing on the world around me, I saw Scott walk in.

I smiled and gave him a wave as he waved back.

I like Scott. He's a little too clueless and a bit too jock for my taste, but I know that's totally Meg's type. You know, maybe with Scott in the picture, Jeremy the asshole can finally get pushed out for good.

Then, Allison came in.

"Well things are about to get interesting," Lydia smirked, watching Allison paused in front of the desk before Scott's. Scott looked like he wanted to run.

I gave her a confused look as she explained "Scott and Allison? Didn't Scott tell you that they dated last year?"

Shit.

I looked back over at Allison about to sit down in the desk before Scott's.

"Excuse me, but that's my seat," Meg smiled sweetly, moving her stuff from the desk's chair and taking the seat in front of him.

Allison, who looked between Meg and Scott, gave a surprisingly bitchy smile before slowly walking away and sitting somewhere else.

I let out a breath that I didn't even realize I was holding.

Suddenly, a series of rings and vibrations went off throughout the class, including my own.

"What the hell?" Lydia muttered making me curious as a paragraph from an unknown number appeared. I adjusted my glasses, starting to read it, when suddenly voice rang out reading the thing.

She was really pretty and she looked pretty young for a teacher, but hey, what do I know? I've been homeschooled for the past four years.

She was saying something, but to tell you the truth, Stiles caught my eye as he was doing a funny thing with his pencil, making me giggle. He noticed, and shot me a cheeky smile.

I smirked and looked away, admiring the view outside when suddenly the twin boys I saw earlier walked out.

I studied them and my eyes widened as they met up with a group of people: a blind man, a girl who was pretty but had no shoes and some buff guy who looked angry.

I looked away and bit my lip, thinking about whether I should say something as Scott suddenly got called out of class and Stiles and Lydia were talking so quietly, I could only hear bits of their voices.

I didn't know really much about Stranger-Danger situations, but that seemed pretty strange to me, I didn't have a good feeling about it.

Maybe I should get a second opinion on this.

"Meg!" I mouthed to her, luckily getting her attention. I pointed out the window.

She looked out, confused, until I saw her eyes widen, knowing that she was seeing the same thing.

"What should we do?" I asked silently. She paused, thinking and finally replied "Nothing,"

I nodded, a bit unsure, but at the same time it made sense. It wasn't like they were doing anything bad, they were just talking maybe they were family.

Maybe…

I kept on watching, when the blind man reached up and took off his glasses.

Even though I was far away, I could see his eyes were an eerie blue.

But, that wasn't the only thing I saw. The next thing that happened I almost gasped because what I saw wasn't human.

Suddenly, a loud thump hit the window.

I nearly jumped out of my seat and screamed when I realized it was a bird. The class paused to stare in bewilderment as I shook a little.

I was absolutely petrified of birds.

Which is why when I saw a whole flock of them coming towards the window like a black storm cloud, I ran out of the classroom screaming like a mother fucker.

Stiles and Meg ran out after me, shouting at me to come back but, it wasn't just because I saw the birds, but because I just saw, what looked like, a monster.
