A/N: Okay so I am sorry. I don't know what happened in this chapter but Percy just wasn't giving me anything. I also know nothing about sports so... well... yeah. I still don't own the fabulous Teen Wolf characters. But I do own Percy. I hope you enjoy! R&R.
As we step out the doors Lydia is jabbering on with Jackson about something lacrosse related. I really probably should have been listening because I knew nothing about lacrosse. I may have lived in Beacon Hills my whole life but I had never actually attended a lacrosse game. The only thing I knew was there was a goalie, and sticks with nets, and I'm assuming a ball.
"Hey don't fall behind." Allison turns her head towards me and grins broadly. "I am going to need someone to explain what is happening."
"Then maybe we should find someone who actually knows what's going on." I quicken my pace slightly to fall in beside her.
"You don't know?" Allison quickly raises her eyebrows as Jackson rushes off towards the locker rooms leaving Lydia to lead us to the bleachers. "Then I guess this will be a learning experience for both of us."
"Yay….." I respond weakly as Lydia hops onto the bleachers and sits down lightly. Allison takes the spot next to her and leaves space for me on the end. Placing my bad by my side I flick my eyes up to the field and see the coach tossing some new gear at Scott.
Allison turns to Lydia and nods slightly in Scott's direction and asks, "Who is that?"
"Him?" Lydia follows her eyes and shrugs. "I'm not sure who he is. Why?"
"He's in my English class." Allison says.
"His names Scott McCall." I offer up looking back at the field as a whistle goes off. My eyes fell on Scott as he looked to be struggling to stand up. One of the boys on the team had already started his attack on the goal and nailed Scott with the ball knocking him over.
"Oh." Allison jumps slightly as Scott hits the ground. You could hear the team heckling him from where they stood. As the next teammate went up Scott easily caught the ball and everyone just kind of stopped and looked surprised. Even Stiles seemed surprised by what had happened but he still let out a congratulatory "Yeah!"
For the next few minutes everyone seemed to get more excited the more goals Scott saved. Allison smacked my arms a few times in excitement as I just sat there confused beyond belief. Lydia straightened up in her seat staring intently as Scott caught another shot.
"He seems like he's pretty good." Allison smiled at Lydia.
"Yeah, very good." Lydia nods at her then turns her head back to the field. Everyone in the stands held their breath as Jackson took his turn against Scott. Even my jaw dropped when he caught the ball like it was the easiest thing in the world. Stiles jumped up cheering and everyone around joined in.
"That is my friend." Stiles shouted to anyone who would listen causing me to giggle and Allison to look over at me as Lydia jumped up clapping and cheering. The rest of the practice was a lot of the same. People trying to score against Scott and failing, and the crowd going wild every single time. By the end of it I was cheering along with them, just a lot quieter.
Once practice was over Allison hopped up and waited for me and Lydia before heading back into the school.
I spent the rest of my day either casually trying to not sound like a dork while chatting with Allison or focusing on class. Before we both left for the day Allison picked up my phone and put her contact information in before running towards the door.
When I pulled into the driveway I was still slightly smiling. My day had started out disastrous but I had made a friend. I ran up the sidewalk to the front door and threw myself through the doorway kicking the door shut behind me.
"Hey Mom! You here?" I shout placing my car keys on the table and letting my bag slide to the floor.
"Yeah Sweetie I'm in the kitchen." I turn down the hallway and push through the swinging door into our kitchen. "Hello. How was your day?" My mother turns and smiles at me from where she is preparing dinner.
"Well….." I hop up onto one of the bar stools at the island. "I took your advice." My mom's head shoots up and her hands stop peeling potatoes.
"What? You did? Are you sick?" My mom's grin only got bigger as she asked.
"No I'm not sick." I laugh and play with one of the coasters in front of me.
"Well tell me what happened. I want to know everything." My mom walks around the island and excitedly sits next to me leaning in and waiting.
So for the next hour I sat there recounting my day with my mom squealing in the chair next to me asking me questions when she saw fit. My dad walked in at some point but he just nodded at us before picking up where my mom left off with cooking.
After dinner I headed up to my room and collapsed on my bed. Well Percy, that was an eventful day. But you survived. I snickered as my phone went off making me jump.
"Hey Allison." I cautiously answer, I'm really not used to talking to anyone on the phone besides my mom.
"Hey! Can you talk?" She sounded so excited.
"Yeah, sure. What's up?" I lean back against my head wall and pull a pillow close.
"Well I ended up going to the animal clinic tonight because I hit a dog." I raise my eyebrows in confusion.
"So you called me to tell me you hit a dog?"
"What? Oh, no! I called to tell you that Scott invited me to Lydia's party on Friday night." I nodded in acceptance.
"That's good right?" My voice kind of went up a few levels.
"Yeah. Well I think so." She confesses. "Are you going?"
"To the party? Thrown by Lydia Martin?" I shake my head not realizing she can't see me.
"Yeah that's the one." She giggles.
"I'm not really invited." I shrug, looking up and seeing my mom in my doorway staring at me. She must have heard the word 'party'. 'What?' I mouth at her.
"Of course you're invited. Lydia said everyone will be there." Allison quickly blurted out.
"Ah…. You seem to misunderstand her definition of 'everyone'. You see Lydia hangs out with the cool kids, and 'everyone' only includes those cool kids." My mom glares at my answer but doesn't say anything.
"You should come. It will be fun." Allison urges.
"I don't… I…" I stop and sigh as my mom starts nodding her head at me silently urging me to say yes. "I've never actually been to a party." I confess hanging my head.
"So? What better way to start?" Allison's indifference rang through the phone. "I promise if you don't want to stay I won't make you. I just would like to know someone else there besides Lydia….. and Scott."
"I guess I can ask my mom if it's alright." My mom raced forward smiling and shouting, "She will be there." She drops gracefully to my bed and pulls me into a hug before quickly popping back up and dancing towards my closet. "My baby girl is going to her first party! Oh what is she going to wear? I'm so proud."
Over the phone Allison had broken down into hysterical laughing as I watched my mom moving every piece of clothing I own around and talking to them.
"Hey I'll see you in class tomorrow alright?" Allison manages to get this sentence out as she tries to recover from laughing.
"Yeah….. okay." I place my phone in my lap and look at it trying to figure out what just happened before turning to my mother.
"Hey, is insanity genetic?" I raise my eyebrows as my mother pulls out a dress I don't remember owning.
"Why do you ask?" My mom turns toward me and looks concerned. I just gesture at her smiling, in explanation. "Oh. Well you better hope so….." She turns back to the closet, "because it's so much fun."
