Five: Derek Hale and second chance at first line
Emma's P.O.V:
What happened to be a very interesting night for me, turned out very shitty for Scott.
He's in good terms with Allison, but getting his future girlfriend to forgive him was the least of our worries right now.
I don't know what happened the other night; I only got the words "hunters" and "Allison's father" before Scott had to go to lacrosse practice so I'll just assume Allison's father is a werewolves hunter, which is really bad for my best friend.
On the bright side, Stiles picked me up this morning. For the first time in years I didn't arrive at school in a cop's car.
Right now I'm on an extra chemistry class; I'm going to be completely honest, I suck. Stupid Harris; why do I need chemistry anyway?
First hour of the morning is not a good time to learn anything, so Mr Harris better doesn't take my lack of attention like something personal.
"It's happening. Locker room."
That one text from Stiles is all it takes for me to jump into action. I don't mind what Harris will do to me later, I run out of the class to the locker room for dear life.
Scott is shape-shifting, only God knows why. And probably Derek Hale knows, too.
Running through the lacrosse field I see the whole team gathered around someone's body lying on the floor.
Holy shit, did Scott kill someone out there?
"Where do you think you're going?"
Someone grabs my waist and pushes me back. I hope Stiles is still alive.
"What the hell! Let me go!"
I look down to see arms covered in leather.
"If you want to survive, you better stay right here."
The ridiculously strong arms let me go and I turn around to find a guy who seems way too old to attend high school.
"And you are...?" I angrily ask, raising an eyebrow.
"Derek," he says half-heartedly.
Derek Hale, the werewolf who bit my best friend and made him a werewolf and now it's probably killing his best friend.
"Ah, yeah, thanks a lot for everything. Our lives are just great now," I let sarcasm take the best of me as I turn around again to at least find Stiles lifeless body.
"Are you crazy? He'll kill you."
"That's what you want, don't you?" I face him again.
He seems taken aback; I guess he didn't expect me to answer.
"You caused all of this! You should be the one risking your supernatural little ass, not human defenceless Stiles. You suck, Derek Hale."
"Is that so?" this kid uses sarcasm as much as I do, and that says a lot. "I thought this was for Scott? I didn't know you liked Stiles that much."
"I don't like him, okay!" I sigh in frustration.
Why am I even wasting my time with this serial killer?
"He's my colleague, since we need to keep Scott from killing everyone, thanks again!"
I don't wait for his answer and run to where the boys should be. I find Stiles at the door, holding into an extinguisher like his life depends on it.
"Stiles?" I hear Scott calling him.
"What happened?" I half yell half whisper.
"Ah, you decided to come!" Stiles rolls his eyes at me and gets into the room, where Scott is on his knees.
"What happened?" he asks, more confused than ever.
"You tried to kill me."
Oh, so that happened.
"It's like we told you before."
I sit on the floor next to Scott.
"It's the anger, your pulse raising. It's the trigger."
"But that's lacrosse!" Scott says. He looks so frustrated. "It's a pretty violent game if you haven't noticed."
"Well, it's gonna be a lot more violent if you end up killing someone on the field."
Stiles kneels beside me, breathing heavily.
"You can't play next Saturday; you're going to have to get out of the game."
I feel bad for Scott, I know how much he wanted this. If guys at this school could only understand there are other ways to impress girls that don't include using that huge ass uniform, this world would be so much better.
"But I'm first line," Scott insists.
"Not anymore," I say with a sigh.
I'll never forget the disappointment expression on his face as the words left my mouth.
Stiles' P.O.V:
Today was Emma's turn to drive my precious jeep. To be honest, I never thought she'd say yes and now I have to deal with it. It's not that bad, though. At least she knows how to drive.
Anyways, she's kind of talking to Allison now so we found out about Jackson's condition. We decide to tell Scott by video chat and that's what we're doing now.
I greet him by shooting him with my Nerf, Emma rolling her eyes at me while trying to get on the camera vision. We end up uncomfortably sharing my desk chair.
"What you found out?" it's the first thing he asks. I'm surprised he didn't ask why we're hanging out again because ever since that day me and Emma picked him up from the woods, he's been asking over and over what my deal with her is. I don't know why he is so worried, we still hate each other and we both want to keep it that way.
"Jackson has a dislocated shoulder" I inform looking straight into the camera.
"Because of me?" I feel sorry for Scott. He must be feeling terrible right now.
"Because he's a tool" Emma comments and that makes me smile. Every girl at school seems to love Jackson to death, is good to know my newest colleague is not one of those girls.
Emma and Scott keep discussing for a little the possibilities of Jackson playing on Saturday.
I zone off, look everywhere: my room, Emma's hair falling down her shoulder, Scott sighing in frustration, someone behind him...shit.
"Emma, look" I elbow her and we both get closer to the screen.
"What'" Scott asks.
It looks like someone's behind you, Emma writes on the dashboard.
"This is so creepy" she whispers, waiting for any kind of reaction from Scott. The screen starts to frozen; I hope he got the message, for his life's sake.
When the screen goes completely black, Emma sighs. "It was Derek Hale."
"What? How do you know?" I follow her with my eyes; she lets herself plop down into my bed.
"That's why it took me so long this morning; I had the pleasure to meet Derek Hale" she states playing with her hair. "And I also have detention with Harris."
"Sorry we got you in trouble" I say and I mean it. No one wants extra hours with that teacher.
"It is okay, that's better than having Scott killing someone" she weakly giggles.
"What did you say to Derek?"
"Nothing you haven't heard before" she simply replies. I've heard a lot of bad things coming from her, so I hope Derek is not a sensible person. I'm pretty sure he isn't. "Do you really think Scott will quit first line?"
"I'm not sure" I sincerely answer. I know how much Scott wants this. "But it's the best solution, until we learn how to control it."
"Do you want to do some research?" she proposes, "we could find something useful and we'll avoid killing each other before Scott does."
"I think this is the longest we've been without fighting. I'm kinda proud" I say dramatically, earning a laugh.
"Whatever."
