Please keep reviewing. This is all new to me, so i need the encouragement LOL
I'm trying to incorporate the FB game and the series, so some incidents may seem off or not in place properly, but don't worry, I'll get it all in there LOL.
… … …
Cat groaned, rolling over to see the time, her eyes bugging out. She was going to be late, so late and she had science first which was just perfect. Mr. Harris would probably try to give her another detention. Key word, try. But he was so obnoxious and after last night's revelations, she was so not in the mood to deal with him and contemplated just skipping her morning classes.
Her phone vibrated and she picked it up without looking at who was calling.
"Yeah?" She said by way of greeting with a big yawn
"Are you ever coming out of there, you don't want to be late for school, do you?"
She groaned. "No, I'm sleeping."
"Look out the window."
She grumbled as she rolled out of bed and crawled to her window to peer down at her driveway. Scott was sitting on the hood of his moms car, with a coffee in his hand and a bag of McDonalds beside him. He smiled and waved up at her, she returned it with a scowl.
"You can't bribe me with gross fast food and coffee. I don't even like straight coffee."
"How about a mocha? And really, who could resist a sausage mcmuffin."
She was silent for a moment before responding. "Cheater."
He laughed. "How am I cheating?"
"waking me up and bringing me food. If not for you, I'd be skipping the morning classes. "
"Then good thing I'm here."
She glared down at him, knowing he could very well see it. "give me 10 minutes." She hung up the phone and quickly rushed around getting ready, grabbing the closest pair of jeans and hoodie she could find before grabbing her bag and rushing down the stairs and out the door.
She did notice the house was quiet and figured her dad had gone to sleep right when he got home as he sometimes did.
When she got outside, she grabbed the mocha and food from him without so much as a hello.
"well hello to you too. You're awfully cheery this morning." Scott greeted her.
She glared at him as she got into his car. "I feel like I haven't slept yet."
He laughed as he got into the car "You did for a few hours. Then I had to leave for practice."
She yawned. "And you're not tired?"
He shook his head. "Near the full moon, I'm feeling a bit more energized. Speaking of, Stiles thinks he's found a better way to keep me and everyone safe."
"What's that?" She asked, knowing from last night that Stiles had just used handcuffs last time.
"Here." He reached for her hand but she pulled away before he could touch her. "It's okay, just trust me, okay?"
She moved her hand back, slightly hesitating before grabbing his hand and watching as Stiles opened his locker and chain fell out, a whole whack of it as it kept falling and falling, the whole locker room stopping to watch as it happened.
She came out of it and looked at him in surprise. "How did you do that? I can't control it."
He smiled. "I was thinking about last night. I was thinking about what I wanted to do, then I think you saw it. So I wanted to see if I could do it again."
She grew uncomfortable at the thought of the kiss from last night and turned to the food he brought her.
"Lydia's coming to school today." Scott said in an attempt to change the subject.
"What? But they just found her yesterday." She said with a frown.
"She's Lydia." He said as if that explained it all.
"Does she know what happened to her?"
Scott shook his head. "I don't think so. Allison was picking her up, I'm sure we'll see them in science this morning."
"And Allison doesn't mind you picking me up in the mornings?"
"It's safer." He pulled into the parking lot and parked the car.
She nodded as she finished the food and crumpled up the bag. "Of course, just as it was safe for you to spend the night in my room."
Scott sighed, leaning his head against the steering wheel. "Cat…"
"Look, there's Allison and Lydia, which reminds me, we never got to talk about what I found yesterday, so you go find Stiles and I'll go grab Allison, meet you at our lockers." She got out of the car and moved towards the school, smiling at the girls who were at the top of the stairs, ready to enter the school. The dark haired girl waved to her while Lydia looked at her with something akin to disdain.
"Why are you waving at her?" Lydia asked in disbelief.
"Because Cat helped a lot while you were missing and you should be grateful for that. She's really nice, give her a chance."
Lydia sighed. "She needs a makeover."
Allison smiled; glad to see her friend back to normal. "you can try but she seems pretty comfortable in her own skin."
"Hey Allison." Cat greeted as she reached the top of the steps. "Hi Lydia, glad you're back."
The red head smiled before opening the door to the school. She took one step in and stopped as everyone, one by one, stopped to just stare at her. Cat and Allison exchanged a helpless look, knowing this was something neither of them could stop.
"Maybe it's the nine pounds?" Allison whispered to her newly returned friend.
Lydia stared at them all, trying to grasp the fact that they were looking at her, not because she was the prettiest or most popular girl but because of what happened to her. They were staring at her like she was some kind of freak. Lifting her chin and trying her hardest not to break down, Lydia Martin strolled down that hallway as if she owned it. She would not let them get to her.
"We need to talk." Cat whispered as they slowly followed after Lydia. "Scott and Stiles are meeting us at our lockers."
Allison nodded, calling out to Lydia. "We have to stop at our locker, are you going to be okay?"
The red head nodded. "They're making me see the school counselor anyways. Waste of time really. I'll see you in class."
"So what's going on?" Allison asked as Lydia walked away.
"Did Scott tell you about the break in?"
She nodded "And that you were erasing the recovered file from the hard drive."
"I told them there was practically no way that the footage could be recovered, not within hours, it should have taken days and I was right."
"Right about what?" Stiles asked, coming up behind them as they reached their lockers.
"Lydia's footage not being found. The recovered footage? It was of a kidnapping."
"What!" All three of them exclaimed.
She nodded.
"Who was being kidnapped?" Allison asked.
"Who was doing the kidnapping?" Scott asked.
"Can you show us?" Stiles asked.
"Don't know, don't know and no." she answered all of them. "It was too fuzzy and distorted, when I went to zoom in, the system crashed, the file was corrupted and I couldn't get it back, no matter what I did and I know how to recover pretty damn good. Whoever broke into the school probably took liberties to make sure that if it somehow was recovered, it wouldn't last and that's kind of scary, I don't know anyone else in Beacon hills who could be capable of that off the top of my head and I know of all the hackers and computer nerds around here. Most make a point of knowing who else is around that's capable of a lot."
"Wait." Stiles interrupted her. "you said anyone else. Are you capable of something like that?"
She nodded, "it's what I did to that other footage except made it a lot harder to recover in the first place."
"Well, is there anything else you can tell us?" Allison asked.
"someone was being dragged to a dark colored car and then stuffed into the trunk. That's all."
"Only those two people?" Stiles asked.
Cat nodded.
"Are you sure what you saw was real? What if it was some sort of TV broadcast you were accidentally catching?"
She gave Stiles a look, showing him exactly what she thought of that.
"A TV show that happens to look exactly like the parking lot of Beacon Hills High?" Scott asked him sarcastically.
"It's not that we don't believe you, Cat." Allison said biting her bottom lip.
"I'm kind of having trouble believing" Stiles said." I hear everything that comes over the police radio. I haven't heard anything like this. No one has been reported missing."
"Are you being serious?" Cat snapped. "I wouldn't make this up. Why would I make this up?"
"You're right." Allison said with an apologetic smile. "If Cat said it happened, it happened."
"Look, we need to get to class." Scott reminded them. "we'll talk about this later."
Cat rolled her eyes before slamming her locker shut and stomping off to science. Allison sent the guys a small shrug before following after her. Stiles waited until the girls were far enough away before turning to Scott.
"And while we deal with that, did you talk to Cat? About the other werewolf?"
Scott shook his head.
"Why not?" Stiles asked. "Maybe, if the kidnapping happened, maybe Isaac had something to do with it?"
"She doesn't need to know right now."
"Can't you at least find out if Isaac is a hacker or something from her?"
"Not yet." Scott replied
"are you kidding me?" Stiles asked in disbelief. "this girl only has to touch you or me and she's going to know all about Isaac."
"Then don't touch her." Scott replied with a shrug.
"And what about you? She says she gets more from you then anybody."
"I won't think about it. She didn't find out when I picked her up this morning. Only about the chain which is all I wanted her to see."
"you picked her up again? And you can do that? Only show her what you wanted her to see?" Stiles sighed as they sat down in front of Allison and Cat.
"that's what I was finding out."
"what were you finding out?" Allison asked, leaning forward as Lydia sat down on the other side of Allison.
"just checking out plans for tonight." Stiles covered for them. "Welcome back Lydia, what are you doing tonight?"
She looked up from her books, an annoyed look on her face. "I don't know, staying home."
"Ok then, Lydia's back and full of sunshine again. How are you doing Cat?"
The small girl on the other side of Allison looked up, glanced at Lydia and forced the unpleasantness from her face. "I'm okay I guess." She glanced at Scott who was smiling at her before looking back down at her book, not returning his smile.
"Alright, class." Mr. Harris entered the room and the two guys turned to face the front, Stiles leaning closer to Scott.
"Are you sure Cat doesn't know more? She doesn't look too happy with you. I thought she was mad at me?"
Scott glanced behind him, his eyes catching Allison's who smile he returned before looking at Cat who was staring at him. When she saw his gaze turn to her, she quickly looked back down.
"It's something else." Scott finally answered.
"What?"
"I'll explain later. We need to figure out if they're going to hold Isaac."
"They can't without solid evidence or a witness." Stiles turned around, scanning the classroom before his eyes landed on the vacant seat beside Danny.
"Where's Jackson?" He asked.
"at the principal's office, talking to your dad." Danny replied.
"Why?"
"Maybe because he lives across the street from Isaac?"
Stiles and Scott exchanged a look. "We need to get to the office."
"How?" Scott asked.
"I don't know." Stiles replied, looking around for an answer.
They heard a sigh, some paper ripping, and then said paper balled up and flying past them. It hit the teacher in the back of the head, causing laughter among the students as he turned around in anger.
"Who, in the hell did that?" Mr. Harris asked.
"Scott and Stiles, Sir." Cat spoke up from behind them.
The guys turned to give her an odd look but she just raised an eyebrow, shooing them to face the front.
"Scott, Stiles, you know where to go." He scowled at them before turning back to the chalkboard.
The guys gathered their stuff and as they walked by the girls to leave, Cat grabbed Scott's sleeve, passing him a piece of paper. "You're welcome." She had no idea why they wanted to go to the office, just that they needed to go so she helped and she would help them get out of it today. She had the perks after all.
Scott waited until they were seated outside the Principal's office before opening the piece of paper.
'Leave after you're done. I'll take care of this.'
"How much did she hear?" Stiles asked, reading the note.
Scott shrugged crumpling up the paper and slipping it into his pocket. "Hopefully just the part where we needed to get here?"
"I'm really starting to like this girl. She's actually been a lot of help."
"I know." Scott replied with a smile, before pressing his ear against the window to hear what was going on.
… … …
Cat sat in class, too tired to even pretend to pay attention anymore. Now that Scott and Stiles were gone, she had no conversations to try and listen to and after trying to focus on the current subject, she finally gave up and with her chin on her hand, let her eyes drift around the room and out the window, watching what she assumed to be Stiles dad pull away in his cop car. Moments later, a black car showed up and then she saw Scott walk to it and get in.
She nudged Allison, motioning her to look out the window. "Whose car is that? Scott just got into it."
Allison frowned as she peered at it. "I have no idea, I don't think I've seen it before but it's nice."
"Should I text him?"
"Ms. Danvers, would you care to join the other two delinquents at the Principals office?" Mr. Harris asked, stopping his lecture to glare at her.
"Sure, why not?" She began to gather her stuff but instead he stopped her.
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing. Sit."
Cat sat back down. "Why?"
"Like I don't know you'll use whatever power you have over the principal to get what you want."
Her nose wrinkled at that. "Can you please try and make it a little less perverted? Thanks."
He moved to stand in front of her desk. "I liked you a lot better when you had no friends and didn't talk."
Her eyes snapped to his and she could see from the knowing look in his eye that he knew he had won this round. So Cat grabbed her stuff and walked out, not saying another word.
Screw this, she was going back home.
