I was late. Gabriel and I both had reapings at the hospital so he was going to pick me up in three minutes from the front of school and we were going to go together. I managed to fight my way out of school and was stopped by Lydia Martin and her new best friend, Allison who were blocking the stairway down into the parking lot.

"Excuse me." I called but they ignored me. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "Excuse me." I repeated a little louder and still they ignored me. Angry I decided to simply push my way past them. Now due to my long roller derby career I was very strong from shoving women down and off their roller skates. Now I will admit I misjudged how hard I pushed the two girls because one minute Allison was leaning against the railing and the next she was on the other side on her back clutching her arm. I however didn't even notice because I was already halfway across the car park and climbing onto the back of Gabe's motorcycle.

Somebody's Girl

I sighed and recrossed my legs looking around the waiting room of the hospital over my book. I was reading Les Miserables and I was halfway through the book. I turned the page and glanced up to see if Gabriel had finished and if my had arrived yet. I turned my right wrist slightly to check my watch and saw I had twenty minutes before A. Turner's ETD (Estimated Time of Death).

"Erin?"

I looked up over my reading glasses at Jackson Whittemore stood in front of me. "Jackson." I looked back down at my book and continued reading.

It was hard to believe that back when we were kids, Jackson and I were best friends. Our mums wee best friends and ergo we spent every minute of childhood together. Hell we even took bubblebaths together. And then I became a Reaper and he became the most popular boy in school and started dating Lydia Martin.

Speaking of Lydia she flounced over to Jackson and kissed him on the cheek. "You seen the doctor yet?" She asked.

Jackson shook his head.

I watched the exchange over my glasses and rolled my eyes.

Lydia turned and glared at me. "What are you doing here?" She sneered.

"I've got an appointment." I turned the page of my book.

"You know you could have broken Allison's arm with that stunt." Lydia crossed her arms over her chest. "She's got a massive bruise on her arm."

I frowned. "What are you talking about?"

Lydia gaped. "After school, you pushed Allison over the railing. You're such a fucking bitch Prince, no wonder you don't have any friends. You're such a freak!" She exclaimed. "What did Allison ever do to you?"

I should have explained that I didn't mean to push Allison over the railing, that it was an accident and I was sorry but she called me the f word. So instead I kept a blank expression on my face, shut my book with a snap and stood up, making sure to get in Lydia's face. "She was in my way." I looked Lydia up and down. "Just like you are now." I pushed past them and walked around the corner slumping in my seat and wrenched open my book again. I was vibrating I was that angry.

"Hey Erin."

I snapped my head up to look at Stiles and Scott. Scott was glaring at me like I'd killed his mum. "What?" I snapped at them.

"I thought you were a nice person Erin." Scott snapped at me. "I thought under that wall of sarcasm and harshness was someone that cared about people. But I guess I was wrong, you really are just a bitch." He turned and marched off in the direction of the morgue.

Stiles sat down next to me. "He's pissed about the thing with Allison." He explained.

I growled under my breath. "Oh my effing god it was an accident. I asked them to move twice so I just pushed my way past and I pushed a little too hard. I'm strong okay." I huffed and ran a hand through my hair. "I don't need this. I don't need some new girl whining that I'm a bully and a bitch and a freak. I have enough to deal with." I muttered to myself.

Stiles placed a hand on my shoulder. "Well I don't think you're a bitch."

"Maybe I should just be homeschooled." I rubbed my eyes.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Stiles asked.

I sighed. "I have an appointment." I glanced at my watch. Ten minutes.

Stiles nodded. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I chuckled. A. Turner wasn't in ten minutes. "Why do you bother talking to me? You'd have much better chances of being popular if you ignored me like everyone else."

Stiles shrugged. "I guess I never really saw the benefits of being popular. Plus you're more interesting to talk to." He nudged me.

I smiled at him and opened my mouth when a nurse said.

"Good evening Doctor Turner."

I turned my head and saw a man in a white coat talking to a nurse. I closed my book and stuffed it in my bag. "I've gotta go." I told Stiles and left making sure to bump into the good doctor. "Oh sorry." I ran my hand over his arm effectively collecting his soul. I slipped away and made my way outside to wait. I leant against the railing in the smoking area in the car park and lit up. I was halfway through my cigarette when it happened. Several people had gather to look up at a person stood on the roof ready to jump. I watch as the person flung themselves from the roof, falling on top of Doctor Turner.

And just like that Doctor Turner was stood next to me. "Am I dead?" He asked.

"Yep." I threw away my cigarette and placed my hand on his arm. "Come on Doc." I motioned for him to follow me away from the scene and towards the light. I waited a few more minutes and Gabriel left the hospital and joined me at the smoking area where I was smoking my second cigarette. "That was a messy one." I commented.

Gabe nodded. "Yep. Hungry?" He asked.

I nodded and took another drag on my cigarette.

"Are you okay?" Gabe asked me.

I nodded again. "What do you think of home schooling?" I asked.

Gabe grinned. "I think you're far too awesome for home schooling. And anyone that makes you think about it isn't worth it." He wrapped an arm around me. "So drop the cancer stick and we'll go get something to eat." He winked at me.

I sighed. "Fine." I dropped my cigarette and followed him over to his motorcycle.

Somebody's Girl

I unlocked the door and stepped into the house. "Mum I'm home." I called out.

"Kitchen."

I closed my eyes and groaned internally. Great the school had already called her about the Allison thing. I took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen. "I can…"

"You pushed a girl over a railing." My mum exclaimed.

"Explain." I finished my sentence. "Look I asked them to move politely and they ignored me. Twice. I pushed my way past them and I guess I pushed a little too hard. It was an accident."

Mum sighed. "Well we're going to have to tell that to your principal tomorrow and you're going to need to apologise." She told her. "Are you hungry?"

I shook my head. "I already ate. I'm going to do my homework."

"Okay." Mum kissed the top of her head. "I'll bring you up a cup of tea?" She asked.

I nodded. "I love you."

Mum exhaled through her nose. "I love you too sweetie."

I walked upstairs and slumped in my desk chair and started my chemistry homework. I finished my homework and looked at the time. It was dark out and late but I was restless. I changed into a pair of leggings and a tank top, throwing on my purple hoodie and grabbed my iPod. "Mum I'm going for a run." I called out and ran out of the door before she could stop me. I ran down the road and into the woods. I found myself running the path to the Hale House. I don't know why my feet were taking me there but they were. I stopped at the edge of the trees and saw two people outside the house. Frowning I walked slowly towards them and saw it was Scott and Stiles and they were digging a hole. "What are you doing?"

Both boys jumped about a foot in the air and whipped around to look at me. Stiles clutched his chest, gasping for breath. "Oh my god. What are you doing here?"

I crossed my arms over my chest. "I could ask you two the same thing."

The two boys looked at each other and then down at the hole in the ground.

I took a step closer and looked down. "Why are you digging up a dead body?" I asked frowning.

"Because we're proving that Derek killed her." Stiles answered.

I frowned. "Derek Hale?" I asked.

It was the boys turn to frown in confusion. "You know Derek?" Scott asked.

"We've met." I replied. "And I'm pretty sure Derek didn't kill his own sister." I added with a tilt of my head. "Well I'm going to leave you two to do… Whatever it is you're doing." I shook my head and turned and ran off before either of them could stop me.

Somebody's Girl

The next morning found my mum and I sat in the Principal's office with Allison and her father glaring at us.

The Principal folded his hands on the desk. "Now Erin, I've already heard Miss Argent's side of the story so maybe you'd like to tell me what happened yesterday."

I sighed. "I had to go to an appointment after school and I was trying to leave but Allison and her friend Lydia were blocking my path. I asked them twice if they could move and they ignored me. So I pushed my way past them. I didn't mean to push so hard. I play roller derby and I forget my own strength sometimes. I'm really sorry Allison got hurt and it honestly wasn't intentional." I shook my head trying to keep my tone sincere.

Allison frowned. "Then why did you tell Lydia it was because I was in your way?" She snapped.

"Because Lydia pissed me off." I answered crossing my arms over my chest. "Look I'm sorry, really and I promise it won't happen again." I vowed.

Allison stared at me and I stared back.

The Principal sighed. "Well Erin I'm going to believe you since this is your first violation and your teachers have said you're not a violent person. So we'll settle for a week of lunchtime detentions with Mr Harris and a written apology to Allison. Do you think that's fair?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yes sir."

Mr Argent huffed. "Should be expelled." He mumbled under his breath.

Allison gave me a small smile and left with her dad leaving my mum and I sat in the office. My mum smiled. "Well if that's everything…" She stood up.

"Actually while I have you here Ms Prince." The Principal motioned for her to sit.

My mum sat back down.

The Principal smiled at her. "I've been talking with Erin's teachers and her grades are… perfect. We'd like to have her IQ tested if at all possible. Mr Harris especially had glowing things to say which is very rare. He'd like to place Erin in Sophomore AP Chemistry, Biology and Physics."

I raised my eyebrows. Wow. That wasn't something I had expected.

"What do you think sweetie?" Mum asked me.

I nodded. "I'd like that."

The Principal nodded. "Wonderful. I'll get that set up for you and Mr Harris said he'd speak to you personally after your next class. I shan't keep you any longer. And I hope this is the last time anything like this will happen to land you in my office."

I nodded. "Yes sir."

Mum and I left the office and stood in the hallway. Mum gave me a hug before leaving for work and I made my way to English. Everyone stared at me when I entered but I simply ignored them, mumbled an apology to Mr Anderson and took my usual seat at the back of the class.
