Chapter 3

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." - Marilyn Monroe

"You have...a lot of books." Isaac remarked as he watched Will organise her books into piles. She placed some of them into available spaces on the book shelves and left others in their piles on the floor next to them. It turned out she didn't have anywhere near enough room to put them all in the book cases.

"A lot? Your definition of a lot differs drastically from mine." She laughed glancing over her shoulder at Isaac as she stood on her tip toes to try and reach the very top of the book case. "I'd say this is just enough to keep me happy. A lot would be when I can't get to my bed because of them."

"Have you read all of them?" He asked picking up a nearby book and flipping through it before placing it back.

"Nope but I will one day." Will was still trying to place some books on the top of the book case and Isaac was finding it quite amusing.

Having failed by standing on her tiptoes she had piled the throw cushions and few of her pillows into a precarious looking pile. She placed one foot on the top cushion to test it's stability before placing her other foot on. As soon as she had the pillows slipped from beneath her feet causing her to fall on to the floor with a small cry of 'Jesus Christ!'. The books she had been holding were scattered around her and with a sigh she began putting them back into a pile.

"Can you put these up there?" She held out the re-piled books to Isaac."I'd do it but I'm not a human skyscraper. Not that I'm calling you a human skyscraper or anything...yeah." Smirking he took the books from her and easily placed them in their indicated spot.

"Stop smirking it isn't even funny! We can't all be massive he-giants..." She muttered as she started gathering some more books.

"He-giant?" He questioned raising an eyebrow as he returned to sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Oh shut-up. I'm not goo-" She was interrupted by the sound of a door opening downstairs. "Scott!" She dropped the books she was holding, inches from Isaac's feet, and took off in a run for the stairs. Isaac gingerly moved the books away with his foot before making his way downstairs too.

Will had just reached the bottom of the stairs when she slammed into Scott with a loud 'oof'. Because of the sudden stop Isaac ended up walking into Will who would have toppled over had Scott not been in front of her.

Isaac backed up a few paces so that everyone wasn't pressed together and Scott moved into the hallway where there was a bit more space. They followed after him and Will threw her arms around Scott clinging to him tightly.

"Air...I need...air." Scott wheezed jokingly.

"I missed you." She mumbled into his chest not easing up on her hug.

"I missed you too but that doesn't mean you have to kill me!" He laughed and Will finally let go of him.

"Did you bring pizza?" She asked looking him dead in the eyes while tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. This was a serious matter. She didn't think she be able to live with him if he forgot the pizza.

"Do you really think I'd forget?" He asked nodding towards the living room.

"Not if my friendship has any value to you." She grinned and walked past Scott into the room.

"Are you really sure that she's your cousin?" Isaac asked Scott as they followed her.

Scott raised his shoulders in a gesture that seemed to say 'what-can-you-do'. Maybe they were related after all.

Entering the living room Isaac and Scott found Will sat cross legged on the sofa, her shoes placed neatly on the floor next to her, with a slice of pizza in her mouth. She was quite happily humming to herself swaying as she did while munching on her food.

Scott rolled his eyes and flopped down next to her on the couch grabbing a slice for himself.

"Pizza?" Will asked Isaac around her piece of pizza nodding towards the box on the table.

"Yeah." Isaac replied clearing his throat after realising that he had just been stood awkwardly in the doorway and moved to sit in the armchair after helping himself to the pizza.

"God dammit!" Scott burst into laughter and looking over Isaac tried and failed to stop himself from laughing too. Will had dropped a slice of pizza she had just picked up and it had landed, leaving a very unfortunate stain, on the crotch of her white classic superman print leggings.

"Why does this always happen? I liked these! I don't even know how I managed to miss my mouth!" She whined as she buried her face in a cushion. "My life is so hard!" was all that could be made out of the next muffled sentence.

"I guess I'll go change then." She sighed and rolled off of the couch walking into the doorway as she left.

"She is really...something." Scott laughed as he leaned back against the couch.

"Yeah...She's definitely something." Isaac agreed.


"It's him. No! Him! It's him! I told you it was him!" Will was sat on the couch with her head resting on her knees whisper-shouting at the TV. For the past 4 hours she had been flicking through the channels trying to find something good to watch and finally settled on a CSI marathon that was showing.

She was currently in the 'I'm too tired to sleep' phase that normally happened when she stayed up until three in the morning. A book lay discarded on the coffee table- she couldn't read as her eyes kept going into and out of focus- as well as an empty tea mug that she had been refilling every 20 minutes or so.

"What are you doing?" She hadn't expected anyone to be up this late and so seeing Isaac appear in the doorway with a glass of water scared her. She dropped the TV remote she was holding and in her scramble to try and catch it ended up kneeing herself in the face.

"Oh God!" She mumbled rubbing her head. "That is just a bit painful."

"Sorry." He apologised sleepily. "But why are you still up?"

"I'm waiting for Melissa." She replied as she placed the TV remote on the coffee table.

"Melissa came home hours ago..." He said taking a sip of his water and running a hand tiredly through his hair.

"What?" She groaned and threw back her head. "I guess I must have fallen asleep for a while." Grumbling she threw off her blanket and padded over to the doorway where Isaac was stood.

"Well thanks for telling me." She gave him a small smile before climbing the stairs and making her way to her room calling a quiet 'G'night' to him as she did.


Will's weekend had gone pretty quickly most of it was spent reading in various uncomfortable positions around the house. Scott and Isaac weren't home a lot. Will wanted to ask if she could join them but she didn't want to seem like a bother so decided against it. Besides they seemed to being doing something really important.

Will had noticed they always seemed to be having hushed conversations quietening whenever she was within ear shot. They also got home really late and she was starting to wonder if Scott actually slept any more. It was none of her business though so she left them to it.

Seeing Melissa again was really nice. She had missed her a lot and had taken over buying food for her from Scott.

Having only known her mom for a few years Melissa was kind of like Will's mother figure. She was also the only adult that actually cared about Will's well being but Will was used to taking care of herself so that wasn't a big issue. It was still nice to know that someone cared whether or not you died that day though.

Things had changed though. She felt like there was something going on that she didn't know about. Like some big secret that everyone but her was in on. Scott and Melissa were both acting strange and she could tell they were both watching what they said around her. She had felt a bit worried that they didn't want her there at first but after bringing it up with Melissa she was assured that there wasn't anything she wanted more than for her to stay with them.

Plus, she had told herself that if they were keeping something from her (It could be her imagination for all she knew) there was probably a reason. They'd tell her if they needed to.

Will wasn't too worried about any of that though. She didn't have any more room to worry as the fact that she was starting at a new school had finally hit her.

She was going to be the new girl and a school where everyone had been going their entire lives. The only thought that gave her any sort of relief about starting at Beacon Hills High school the next day was that Scott could hopefully be in some of her classes. And maybe even Isaac.
