Chapter 04
Stiles's Pov
It was the next day and I wasn't ready. Both physically and mentally.
I had to go to school and I wasn't looking forward to it. Not one bit.
I could barely leave my room because of what happened that day at the pack meeting. I can't handle going to school, knowing that I'm going to see their faces every single day. At least until we graduate.
I guess it won't be that bad. Isaac, Liam, Theo, Malia and Kira will be there and I know that they'll defend me from the pack and make sure they're away from me.
But I have to understand that they're not always going to be there.
As much as it sucks, they're still a part of the pack. Given the fact that they're all supernatural while I'm not.
They need to be with the pack in order to help out whenever an issue comes their way that's related to the supernatural problems.
They told me that if I want that they can leave the pack. As much as I really wanted them to leave, I told them to stay.
No matter how badly I wanted them to leave and be by my side, I didn't want to be selfish by only thinking about my own feelings and not theirs. As well as everyone else that lives here.
And knowing Derek and Scott, they won't take it lightly to them quitting the pack, and I could never forgive myself if they got in trouble because of me.
Releasing a sad and annoyed sigh, I put on my white shirt, my red flannel jacket, my black jeans and black sneakers.
I opened my bedroom door and walked out and made my way downstairs.
I made my way into the kitchen and saw dad making some pancakes. I honestly can't remember the last time he cooked something.
He turned around and when he saw me he smiled. I found myself smiling back at him as I made my way towards him.
"Morning kiddo, how did you sleep last night?" Dad asked.
"Decent, and you?" I asked.
"I slept alright. I hope you're hungry, I made us pancakes" Dad smiled.
"Awesome" I smiled.
I sat down at the table as dad walked over to me and put two pancakes on my plate. He put two on his plate before sitting down across from me.
Dad ate his pancakes happily, while I ate my pancakes regularly. Most of the time I just picked at it.
My mind was still on the pack and school. It's hard enough that I was kicked out but it's gonna be even harder to be near them since I have classes with nearly half of them.
Including Scott.
And the last thing I want is to be near him.
Right about now I'm glad that I dated someone that was older than me. At least Derek doesn't go to school, that way I can avoid at least seeing him.
"Stiles" Dad said, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I looked up at him and saw him looking at me in concern.
"Yeah?" I asked, still picking at the last bit of pancakes that were on my plate.
Dad sighed and set his fork and knife down.
"Stiles, if you don't want to go to school then you don't have to. I can call Ms. Martin and tell her that you're sick" Dad softly said.
Wow.
Dad is giving me the chance to miss out on a day of school.
This has to be a dream because dad would never do that. I don't think any parent would let their child miss a day of school.
And that offer is really really tempting. Given that I want nothing more than to avoid the pack. The last thing I want is to deal with them today after what happened.
I don't want to be anywhere near Scott. Especially when we have nearly all classes together.
But...as much as I want to accept dad's offer, I can't.
If I miss out on school, I'll be showing my fear, my weakness.
I don't want anyone, let alone the freaking pack, to see me as weak. I don't want them to think that they scare me, when in reality they don't, they just piss me off. Well, except for you know who.
I'm not gonna let them see me as weak. I won't give them that satisfaction.
I have to go to school. I need to. No matter how painful and awkward it will be.
"Thanks for the offer, dad. But I think I'm going to go" I said.
Dad frowned at that and I can see worry in his eyes, he really didn't want me going to school.
I feel touched that he's worry about me and is worried about what could happen, especially now that me and the pack aren't friends anymore.
But he has to know that I won't give them the satisfaction of seeing me as weak.
And me not going to school with be proof of that.
"Are you sure? Because you don't have to go if you don't want to. I'll call Ms. Martin and I'm sure she'll let it slide this one time" Dad suggested.
He went to stand up and get his phone, but I grabbed his arm, stopping him.
I slowly let go of his arm when I made sure he wasn't gonna get up and smiled gently at him.
"Dad, it's fine. You don't have to call Ms. Martin. I'm going to school today" I softly said.
"Are you sure? Because you don't have to go if you don't want to" Dad softly said.
I sighed in slight annoyance before nodding my head.
"Yes, dad I'm sure. I have to go to school. I don't want the pack to think I'm scared of them. I don't want them to see me as weak. If I don't go today, that's just what they're gonna continue seeing me as. I won't let them label me as weak because I'm not. I'm doing this for me" I softly but sternly explained.
Dad stared at me for a few seconds before he sighed and slowly nodded his head.
"Alright, but if anything happens and you're uncomfortable, don't hesitate to call me and I'll get you out of there" Dad sternly said.
I chuckled lightly at that and nodded my head.
"Sure thing, dad. But trust me, nothing will happen" I reassured him.
Just as long as Scott and the others leave me alone.
At School
My breath hitched as soon as I parked my jeep and I felt myself getting anxious. More anxious then when I left the house.
I looked out the window and just stared at the school building.
Looking back at it now, can I really do this?
I know I said that I would come and get this day over and done with, but I'm starting to have second thoughts.
I don't think I can do this. I thought I could but I can't.
My hands are sweaty and I could feel some sweat starting to form around my head. My heart beat went faster and faster and my knee began bouncing up and down.
"Stiles" I heard the voice of Liam say from next to me.
I snapped out of my thoughts and slowly turned around to see Liam sitting next to me. I looked behind him and saw Theo standing outside, staring at me with a soft look in his eyes.
I looked at them in confusion, what were they doing in here?
Liam smiled softly at me and reached out to place his hand on top of mine.
"Stiles, don't worry, everything is going to be fine. I know that you're worried about being here, given that Scott and the others are here too, but you have to remember that we're here too. And we're gonna do everything we can to keep them away from you" Liam softly explained.
Theo nodded and I saw a faint smile appear on his face.
"Yeah, we'll make sure they don't bother you. The last thing we want is for them to cause unnecessary drama" Theo softly said.
I honestly didn't know what to say, I was frozen in disbelief.
Even though those two are still in the pack, they still find time to talk to me and reassure me that nothing will happen.
They even promise to keep the pack away from me so that I can be left in peace.
Hell, Theo is willing to help even though me and him barely get along.
That's how I know he cares about me just like the others, in his own way.
I released a small sigh and looked at both of them with gratefulness in my eyes.
"Thank you, guys. Really, that means alot" I softly said.
"Anytime" Liam smiled, patting my head.
I chuckled softly at them before gently shoving his hand away from me.
"Come on, lets get this hell over and done with" Theo groaned.
Me and Liam laughed at that before getting out of the car.
Once I closed the door I took a deep breath before walking towards the school building, Liam and Theo right behind me.
When we were inside I turned to Liam and Theo and smiled lightly at them.
"You guys can go, I need to get my stuff from my locker" I said.
"Alright, we'll see you later" Liam said.
Theo nodded and with that they walked away.
I sighed before walking towards my locker. I put in my locker combination and opened it and began looking for the books that I needed.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Scott walking towards me.
Crap, I forgot that our lockers are next to each others.
Thanks alot, bad memory.
I didn't want to deal with him, so as fast as I could, I took my textbook out of my locker before slamming my locker shut and walking off.
I sighed in relief, at least I didn't have to deal with him right now so that's good.
But I'm getting the feeling that this wasn't going to end anytime soon.
A Few Hours Later
I was right. The entire day was complete hell.
I don't know why but Scott just wouldn't leave me alone. Him and the other pack members wouldn't leave me alone either. They did everything they could just to be near me or try to talk to me.
No matter how many times I moved away from them or ignored them they still kept going and I wanted to fucking kill them.
I'm just glad that Malia, Kira, Liam, Theo and Isaac kept them away from me. I don't think I could've handled anymore of their annoyance.
I was in my last class before lunch started. Thank lords.
I was sitting in my seat, far away from Scott and the others, but somewhere that was close to the others that were still my friends.
Just as I was beginning to write in my notebook, the teacher told us to stop whatever we were doing so he could have all our attention.
"Now class, before we start our lesson, I'd like to say that we have four new kids coming in today" the teacher smiled.
This made everyone look at each other in confusion. Hell, I was confused too.
Why are we getting new kids now?
I mean, I know we still have time before graduation, but still.
Maybe Mrs. Martin is accepting them because they've got high grades. Either that or another reason. Who knows.
"I ask that you treat them with respect and make them feel welcomed" the teacher sternly said.
The class all nodded while I sighed and shook my head.
I've got too much on my mind, I can't really worry that much about new kids.
"Ok, you guys can come in" the teacher said, turning around to look at the door.
The door opened and four kids walked inside the classroom. Two girls and two boys.
The two girls stood next to each other, holding hands. While the boys stood next to each other. One had his arms crossed and the other one had his hands behind his back.
One of the girls has dark brown hair, green eyes and has a height of 5'2. She wore a white leather jacket, dark blue tank top, dark blue jeans and white sneakers.
The girl next to her has blonde hair, green eyes and has a height of 5'4. She wore a black leather jacket, black crop top, black ripped jeans and black boots.
One of the boys has black hair, dark brown eyes and has a height of 5'8. He wore a blue jacket, black shirt, black ripped jeans and blue sneakers.
The last boy has blonde hair, dark brown eyes and has a height of 5'9. He wore nearly the same thing as the girl with blonde hair, just different shirts, of course.
Hot damn, they all looked amazing. They could be models.
Especially the boy with blonde hair. Out of the others, he stood out to me the most.
"Welcome, how about you introduce yourselves to the class" the teacher suggested.
The girl with dark brown hair and the boy with black hair sent him a small smile and nodded.
While the girl with blonde hair and the boy with blonde hair rolled their eyes.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you all. I'm June Jonhson" the girl, June, smiled.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Jake Larson" the boy, Jake, smiled.
It was time for the last two kids to introduce themselves and all eyes landed on the blonde haired girl.
She rolled her eyes in annoyance before introducing herself.
"I'm Olivia Carter. And I'm June's girlfriend" the girl, Olivia, said.
She removed her hand from June's and wrapped her arm around her waist, pulling her closer to her side.
"So, unless you want a black eye, I suggest you don't look at my girl or don't talk to her unless it's school related. Are we clear?" Olivia asked, glaring at basically everyone in the classroom.
Everyone's eyes, minus mine, widened in fear as they all swallowed thickly and nodded their heads.
I had to hold in a laugh when I saw that Scott was showing signs of fear.
I'm starting to like this girl.
When Olivia was done all eyes landed on the last boy. The stunning boy with blonde hair.
"I'm Luke Carter. Olivia's twin brother" the stunning boy, Luke, said.
He briefly glanced at everyone before his eyes landed on mine.
I had to swallow my saliva because of the sharp look in his eyes. Anyone that looked in his eyes could probably faint right then and there.
A smirk appeared on his face as he slowly uncrossed his arms and I watched them fall to his sides.
"And I hope we can all get along" Luke said.
Except, he wasn't looking at everyone, when he said that.
He was looking at me.
