I do not own anything in this chapter except Ivory.

Chapter 2: I can take care of myself

I spent my first period of high school cleaning and sanitizing my locker. That was not fun at all. Soon enough, I was done and my locker smelt like clean supplies. I sighed in exhaustion. I turned to see Stiles smiling at me.

"Ahh!" I practically screamed. I slapped him in the face with a wet towel that smelt like rotten tomatoes. It took me a few seconds to snap back into reality. "Oh. S-sorry. You just scared me to death." My heart was racing a hundred miles per hour. "No problem." He said. "I probably should've said 'hi' or somethin'." This is bad. Well I could've done worse, like punch him in the face. I said to myself. "So how's the-"

A boy with short blondish-brown hair pinned Stiles against the locker next to mine . He made a large dent too. I winced at the sound. "I know that something's up with your buddy Scott, and that you know. And I wanna know what it is. You don't suddenly become that good after being a complete loser. Well, actually,you still are losers." Stiles replied saying, "I'm not afraid of you at all, you know?" He looked past Jackson to see two giant guys behind him. "And I'm not scared of tweedle dee and tweedle dum behind you either." They both gave him murderous looks. "Well, actually, I'm a little scared." He managed to squeak out.

That was it. I felt like I just ate a handful of spicy wasabi peas. I knew that this guy was a total jerk. Stiles squeezed his eyes shut knowing that this was going to hurt. He opened them to see Ivory pinning Jackson against the locker 2 feet in the air.

"I am having the worst day and you are just adding to it. You may think that you're this school's "it" boy, but that doesn't give you the right to pick on people." I let him go. He looked shocked. "Come on Stiles. We're going." I grabbed his arm and began to walk. "You better watch out. You don't mess with me than get away with it. I suggest sleeping with one eye open." Jackson said angrily. "I can take care of myself." I said back. "Girls aren't weak."

We walked a little further then Stiles turned to look at me. "That was awesome!" And I have to admit, it kinda was.
