VII. Familiarity

Okay there is another story I am gonna publish along with whatever wins the votes.  It is a stranger things story about another kid experiment who escaped, except he didn't really have powers.  He build a robot that they wanted to use as a weapon, only it was quickly found out that the robot had a special bond with the boy and refused to leave his side, after the boy becomes friend with another experiment he and her escape along with the robot who helped them get out.  Then they meet a group of friends looking for their missing friend, and Mike Wheeler really seems to catch the young experiment's attention.

It was Monday and I was nervous.  I had only got one text from Scott this weekend and the return of the wasps who had nested in my stomach was not welcomed.  I let a heavy sigh leave me before heading out the door before Allison bounds up to me, "Hey is it okay if I take the car after school?  Lydia and I want to go out and have a girl day after school."  I nod and smile at her, hiding my nerves.

"Sure, Issy.  I'll have dad pick me up," I tell her and she smiles throwing her arms around me.

"You haven't called me Issy in a while, is everything okay?" She asked and I smiled at her, grateful for the worry.  I started calling her Issy in elementary, wanting a nickname that no one else would call her so I took the iss sound from her name and put a y on the end, I punched anyone else who repeatedly called her it, much to her embarresment.

"Yeah, I'm fine.  Just I only got one text from Scott this weekend," I explain and she nods before grinning.

"You really like him," She teased and I grinned laughed, before shaking my head.

"We'll see," I tell her, lying, I already knew that I was addicted to the drug called Scott McCall and I couldn't imagine getting clean.  "Come on let's get to school."

We get to school and I was currenlty walking to the office, I had a packet of slips I had to have each teacher sign last week and now I was turning it in along with Allison's.  I walk in to see what looked like three new students at the empty reception desk.  "Hey, are you guys new?" I call out and they all turn to look at me.  I smile at them, I wasn't ussually this nice to new people but something about them felt familiar.

"Yeah, moved in this weekend," Said one of the two girls, she had dirty blonde hair and eyes that looked as if they were the exact color mine were, strangely enough.  The other two were another girl and a boy.  The other girl had blonde hair and blue eyes while the guy had a strong jaw and brunette hair along with brown eyes.

"Do you guys need a guide?  I'm new too but I learned the building quickly," I told them with an easy going grin.  I was good at getting down building layouts quickly, a useful skill for hunting.

The brunette girl smiled and nodded, "That would be great, thanks."

"It's no problem, I'm David, David Argent," I said holding out my hand to her and she smiled accepting it while the other two gave me looks when they heard my name.  When my hand touched her's I felt the power she held and held in a gasp expertly.  I saw her eyes widen and she looked right into mine.

"Isn't that silver in French?" The boy asked and I shrugged.

"Yeah, you speak the language?" I ask them and the blonde and the boy nod.

"Well, I'm Hope and these are my siblings, Kol and Rebekah," Hope said and I smiled.

"Nice to meet you all," I said and Hope smiled widely at me.

"Oh the pleasure is ours," She said and I grinned at her before the receptionist came back and spotted me.

"Oh David!" She called out and I faced her with a fake smile, keeping in the good books with the staff here.  I was bound to get in trouble at some point and it would be best is the staff liked me.

"Hello Ms.Smith, here is the forms you needed from Allison and I," I told her handing her them and she smiled.

"Thanks sweetie," She said and I smiled, cringing in my mind at the pet name.

"Allison?" Rebekah asked, speaking for the first time, I noticed that she and Kol were British though Hope wasn't.

"My twin sister," I said with a smile, thinking about my little sister.  I saw something in Hope's eyes shift and I look at her with blooming worry that startled me.  "Hey are you okay?" I ask, worried and I hold onto her arm gently and she smiles at me.

"Yeah I'm fine, I just had a twin," She said and I noticed the past tense.

"What happened?" I asked and she smiled with tears in her eyes while she looked at me.

"He got kidnapped, but we're still looking for him," She said and I smile lightly at her.

"I hope you find him, Hope," I joke but my words rung true and she smiled at me, seemingly feeling better.

From the corner of my eye I saw Kol and Rebekah watch us closely before their eyes widen, confusing me.  I see movement through the glass and turn to see what attracted my attention only to smile wide at the familiar shaggy dog.

I quickly move out of the office and call out, "Scott!"  He turns around to look at me and I smile at him which he returns.  He walks to me and I smile wider.

"Hey, David.  What are you doing?" He asked, his eyes going to the new kids.

"Some other new kids just arrived, Imma help them around the school," I told him and he smiled.

"I'll help," He said and a face splitting grin stretched onto my face.  I wasn't used to being this open around someone I didn't share blood with but something about Scott made me not care.  "I mean anything to spend more time with you," he teased and a blush rose to my cheeks.  I could faintly hear the new kids whispering but I didn't pay attention as I looked at Scott.

"Thanks," I told him and we both turned and went back in the office, the siblings snapping away from each other and the conversation when we walked inside.  "This is Scott, he'll help me show you around," I tell them and see they had their schedules in hand.  "Let's go."

Scott and I got the new kids to their classes and were now walking to our own first hour that we shared together.  We were joking around and smiling at each other when we paused outside the classroom.  "Hey you're feeling better right?" I asked him, referring to Friday and he smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, thank you for asking," Scott said with a smile that I returned.

"No problem, but I was wondering... would you like to go on a date Wednesday?"  I asked him and he smiled.

"I would love to, and I promise I won't get sick this time," Scott said and I smiled stepping closer.

"Well if you do, I'll take care of you," I say before leaning down and kissing him with a smile.  I fel the wasps die in my stomach and a new glowing feeling surround me.  Scott's lips against mine felt better than I could ever imagine and I was so thankful that I asked the boy out.  We pull away, both of us smiling before we walk into the classroom only to pause in surprise.  Our teacher from last week was gone and in her place was a man I had never seen before though he looked familiar.

He looked up at us, he had brown hair and eyes and was wearing very formal attire, with black dress pants, a tucked in white button up and a tie, and when I looked to his chair I saw a suit jacket slung over the back.  "Why are you late?" he asked us, leaning against his desk while all the students looked at us.

"Uh, we were showing the new kids to their classrooms, I'm sorry but wasn't there a different teacher here last week," I said, looking around and noticing all the personal touches the teacher had in the room were gone and someone else's were in their place.

"Ah yes, your old teacher.  She quit Saturday, I'm your new teacher, Mr. Mikaelson.  Please take your seats," We nodded slowly and quickly went to our seats, me sitting besides Allison and Scott in front of me.  "And what are your two's names so I may put you down on attendance?"

I look up from my desk where I just sat my things down and answered for the both of us, "That's Scott McCall, I'm David Argent."  I watch his eyes narrow in concealed anger and sit up straighter in my seat glaring back.  I could sense the power from him and decided to push back with power of my own, just to throw him off.  I saw his eyes widen, not enough for anyone to notice but me, well I thought until I saw Scott's head swivel around to look at me, panic set on his face.

Mr.Mikaelson and I have a stare down and I could feel the worried gazes of Stiles, Scott and Allison bearing into me but I couldn't back down.  Something about the teacher made me want to prove myself to him, he felt as strangely familiar as Kol, Rebekah and Hope.  Mr.Mikaelson's eyes soften and he looked at the entire class, and I let my eyes meet Scott's who I smiled reashurringly to.

It was later in the day and I was walking down the hall with Hope while Scott was with Kol and Rebekah.  "So what brought you to Beacon Hills?" I asked her and she smiled at me.

"My older brother got a job here, he's a teacher," She said and I tried to think of any new teachers.

"Is your last name Mikaelson?" I ask and she nodded and I wince and she grinned facing me.

"You met him?" She asked and I shrugged.

"My first hour, was late after taking you to class," I said and she laughed throwing her head back.

"Oh I must imagine he hated that," She said and I nodded, giving her a cheeky grin.

"Nope," I said popping the p and she grinned with a laugh.

"Hey what are you doing after school?" She asked and I shrugged.

"I'm letting my twin take my car so probably getting picked up by my dad and going home to do homework or study," I said and she nodded with a smile before stopping and turning to me, grabbing my hands and jumping up and down excitedly.

"You should come over to my place!  My brother is picking up me and my siblings, you can come over and we can study together.  I need help catching up from the week I missed," She said and I nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll just have to tell my parents," I said and she nodded before a mischievous smile lit up her face.

"Are you and Scott dating?" She asked and I choked on my own spit while blushing and stuttering.

"Oh, uh, uh, oh, well, uh, you see, uh," I stuttered out and she laughed while I rubbed the back on my neck with my right hand, looking to the ground. 

"You totally are!  It's so cute!"  She said and I grinned, looking up.  "He's so into you!"

"You think?" I asked timidly and she smiled widely nodding eargly.

"Oh yeah totally, he was giving you mean puppy dog eyes," She said and I smiled thinking about Scott.  "AND YOU TOTALLY LIKE HIM!" She practically shouted jumping up and down clapping with an excited grin and for a moment it didn't feel like I was just talking to a friend, this reminded me of the coversation from earlier today with my twin oddly enough.  "I ship you two, you two are my new otp," She said and I gave her a confused look.

"Ot-what?" I asked confused while she pushed forward gushing to herself while I followed her with fast steps.  "Shipping? Where are we going?" I asked confused and she stopped and twirled to look at me with a dumbstruck face.

"I have so much to teach you," She said, shaking her head at me in false pity while I just shake my head and mess up her hair with my hand causing her to shriek and run down the hall, people's glares following her though she didn't seem to care.

I was sitting in my fifth hour bored when I got an idea.  I raised my hand and the teacher called on me, "Yes David?"

"Can I go to the bathroom?" I asked politely and she nodded and before going back to the lesson while I walked out.  Once I'm out of the room, I take my phone out and send Scott a text.

David: Hey meet me in the north bathroom.

A minute later I got a reply

Scott: On my way, you okay?

David: I will be

I smile walking to the bathroom and when he comes in, I grab him and pull his lips against mine.  He laughed into the kiss before pulling away.  "I'm not complaining but why?"

"Math got way to boring," I said and he smiled before pulling me forward and kissing me.

"I can accept that," he said against my lips and I smile.
