By lunchtime, we have found out the man that was attacked on the bus was still alive. Scott was convicted that he had done it which is what we were talking about as we sat down at the lunch table.

"But dreams aren't memories." Stiles argued.

"Then it wasn't a dream. Something happened last night, and I can't remember what." Scott explained.

"You wouldn't hurt anyone, Scott" I told him.

"What makes you so sure that Derek even has all the answers?" Stiles asked him.

"Because during the full moon he wasn't changed," Scott explained, "He was in total control while I was running around in the middle of the night attacking some totally innocent guy."

"You don't know that." Stiles argued.

"I don't not know it. I can't go out with Allison. I have to cancel" Scott

Stiles: No, you're not cancelling, okay? You can't just cancel your entire life. We'll figure it out."

"Figure what out?" Lydia Martin says before sitting down with us. All of her friends sit with us. Now, I'm friends with more people than Stiles but I was never friends with Lydia or any of her friends. I hated Jackson because of the shit he does to Stiles and Scott. Danny was friends with Jay though.

"Just, uh, homework," Scott lied.

" Why is she sitting with us?" Stiles quietly asked us. We just shrugged our shoulders at him.

"Get up," Jackson told some guy, I didn't know his name.

"How come you never ask Danny to get up?" The guy asked Jackson.

"Because I don't stare at his girlfriend's coin slot. So I hear they're saying it's some type of animal attack. Probably a cougar," Danny said getting everyone's attention.

"I heard mountain lion." Jackson told him.

"A cougar is a mountain lion." Lydia told him before going back to acting dumb, "Isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is," I told her while rolling my eyes at her. Sometimes I didn't understand why Stiles liked her at all.

"Who cares? The guy's probably some homeless tweaker who's gonna die anyway" Jackson told everyone.

"Actually, I just found out who it is. Check it out." Stiles told us while holding up his phone so we could see the video.

"The Sheriff's department won't speculate on details of the incident but confirmed the victim, Garrison Meyers, did survive the attack. Meyers was taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition." The reporter in the video said.

"I know this guy," Scott told us.

"You do?" Allison asked him.

"Yeah, when I used to take the bus back when I lived with my dad. He was the driver," Scott told us. He definitely thought it was him now.

"Can we talk about something slightly more fun, please? Like, oh, where are we going tomorrow night? You said you and Scott were hanging out tomorrow night, right?" Lydia asked Allison.

"Um, we were thinking of what we were gonna do." Allison said looking confused.

"Well, I am not sitting home again watching lacrosse videos, so if the four of us are hanging out, we are doing something fun." Lydia annocused.

"Hanging out? Like, the four of us? Do you wanna hang out, like us and them?" Scott asked Allison.

"Yeah, I guess. Sounds fun." Allison told him. The only one that looked like they actually wanted this to happen was Lydia.

"You know what else sounds fun? Stabbing myself in the face with this fork." Jackson told them.

"How 'bout bowling? You love to bowl," Lydia asked Jackson.

"Yeah, with actual competition," Jackson told her.

"How do you know we're not actual competition? You can bowl, right?" Allison asked Scott.

"Sort of." Scott told her. This was not going to go well.

"Is it sort of, or yes?" Jackson challenged.

"Yes. In fact, I'm a great bowler." Scott told him and I nearly choked on my water.

"You're a terrible bowler." Stiles told Scott while we were leaving school that day.

"I know! I'm such an idiot." Scott told us.

"God, it was like watching a car wreck. I mean, first it turned into the whole group date thing. And then out of nowhere comes that phrase." Stiles told him.

"Hang out," Scott said like it was the words burned his tongue.

"You don't hang out with hot girls, okay? It's like death. Once it's hanging out, you might as well be her gay best friend. You and Danny can start hanging out."

"How is this happening? I either killed a guy or I didn't." Scott said freaking out.

"I don't think Danny likes me very much." Stiles said ignoring Scott

"I ask Allison on a date, and now we're hanging out," Scott said ignoring Stiles.

"Am I not attractive to gay guys?" Stiles asked us.

"I make first line, and the team captain wants to destroy me, and now—now I'm gonna be late for work." Scott said before leaving.

"Wait, Scott, you didn't - am I attractive to gay guy - you didn't answer my question." Stiles yelled to Scott.
"I'm sure plenty of males find you attractive, Stiles" I told him.

When we got home my dad was getting in his car to leave but he stopped me from going inside.

"I'm giving you your phone back, Jasmine," He told me, "You're still fulling grounded but I would just feel better if I could call you with the strange things that have been going on."

"Thank you!" I told him.

"But, if you don't answer when I call, I'm going to murder you myself." He told me, "Tell your brother that goes for him as well"

"Will do, Dad" I tell him, "I love you"

"I love you too baby girl. I have to get back to work." He told me before leaving.

I ran up to room to find the paper with Derek's phone number on it. I needed to talk to him for a while now.

"Can we talk - Jas" I texted Derek.

I looked at the other text messages I had missed while not having my phone. There was a few from Jay and some of my friends.I couldn't wait for Derek to answer. I had so many questions.

The knock on my window almost made me fall out of bed.

"This wasn't what I was expecting," I tell Derek while opening the window for him.

"I figured this was more of a face to face conversation," He told me.

"Yeah, it probably is" I tell him sitting back on my bed.

"What did you want to ask me?" Derek asked me while he sat down.

"You didn't kill your sister," I said.

"No, I didn't" he told me surprised at my bluntness.

"But, you know who did?" I asked him.

"I don't know who it was but I know what it is," he explained to me, " It's called an alpha. Scott and I are betas. An alpha has more power and is more animal than betas."

"Is that why you came back here?" I asked him.

"I came back looking for my sister," he told me, "but when I got here she was already dead. Her body was being used as bait. The alpha wants a pack and he's going to do whatever it takes to get Scott in his pack."

"Scott won't do join him," I reminded him.

"I know that, Jas," he told me, "but, what is he willing to do if it means Allison is safe"

"I don't know," I admitted, "They don't trust you."

"I know they don't and you shouldn't either," He told me.

"You are not the bad guy," I told him.

"You don't know that Jasmine!" he yelled at me.

"Shh, Stiles is going to hear you," I snapped at him, "I do know that because if you were the bad guy, I would be dead."

"He's not even here," he told me, "I could have a reason for keeping you alive."

"Would you stop trying to scare me? I trust you! Deal with it!" I yelled at him.

"You're going to regret it," He told me.

"You're wrong because I know that you would protect me," I told him.

"You're right I'll protect you from my world." He admits.

"And I'll protect you from you." I told him. Then he does something I didn't expect, he kissed me! Derek Hale kissed me!

"I should go," he said suddenly breaking the kiss.

"Derek wait-" I tried to stopped him but he was already gone.

I couldn't believe what had just happened. Derek Hale kissed me. Derek put his lips on my lips. This meant something but I couldn't tell anyone. Derek was way older than me. My dad would never approve. It would be kind of hot to have a secret like Derek. Things just got a lot more complicated than before. Plus I still didn't know if Scott hurt the bus driver. What had my life turned into.
