chapter two
second chance at first line
⎯⎯⎯⎯

Allison and Blair were just at their lockers when Lydia walked up to them with a couple lacrosse players claiming she wanted them to get to know people. One of them reaches out his right hand to shake Allison's as the other one smiles at Blair but she just gives him an awkward smile. "Hi. Nice to meet you." One of them said to the twins.

"They are the new girls. They just moved here." Lydia informed the two lacrosse players as one kept smiling at Blair. "Oh, how do you like it?" One of them asked them. "I like it." Allison replied while Blair chipped the nail polish off her nails in nervousness.

Across the hall, Scott watches before he walks over to them, and when Allison sees him coming, she wraps up their conversation and links her arm with her sister, knowing she was hating this. "It was nice meeting you. See you soon. I'll be at the game." She says before walking away and towards Scott. 

"So, Lydia's introducing you to everyone?" Scott asked, trying to ignore how jealous he felt when he saw Allison with someone else. Allison just smiles, completely oblivious to Lydia's ulterior motives, but Blair could tell, it wasn't a secret that Lydia wanted Allison to date someone more popular. "She's being so unbelievably nice to us." Allison said as Blair nodded with a smile, she had and she was grateful for it.

"I wonder why." Scott mutters under his breath. "Maybe she gets how much being the new girl can suck." Allison said with a smile as Blair rested her head on her sister's arm as she watched the conversation. Scott looks down and notices that Allison is holding the jacket, the one she was wearing at the party and remembers when he saw Derek hanging the stolen jacket on a tree to lure him to the woods.

"Where did you get that?" Scott asked, still looking at her Jacket but she simply shrugged, being mindful of her sister's head. "My jacket? It was in my locker. I think Lydia brought it back from the party, she has my combination–" she started but Scott cut her off.

"Did she say she brought it back, or did somebody give her the jacket?" Scott asked urgently as Blair furrowed her brows in confusion. "Like who?" Allison asked, confused as Blair lifted her head off her sister's soldier. "Like Derek?" Scott said, but it sounded like a question making both Allison and Blair frown in confusion.

"Your friend?" Blair asked, making Scott look at her. "He's not my friend. How much did you talk to him when he drove you home?" He said as he looked from Blair to Allison as they continued to frown, clearly confused and not really liking Scott's tone but trying to keep it civil. "Mmm, not much at all." Allison admitted. "Like nothing, it was silent, weird but silent." Blair said as she looked at Allison quickly before looking back at Scott.

"What did you say?" Scott asked, wanting an answer from her but the twins were completely weirded out by how suspicious Scott is acting, excuses themselves from the conversation. "I... gotta get to class." Allison said as she began walking away, Blair followed her, not before giving Scott for being so weird and freaking out Allison. "Allison–" Scott said urgently but Allion brushed him off. "No, I really have to go..." Allison tailed off as she and Blair rushed away without another word.

⎯⎯⎯⎯

Blair and Allison were waiting for their dad to come home when they heard a crash from outside, causing them to rush outside as Chris Argent gets out of his car quickly, horrified by the sight of Scott laying on the ground in front of him before quickly rushing over to help him. "Oh, my God..." Chris trailed off. "Dad?" Allison and Blair said as they rushed over to see the commotion.

When they see Chris crouched in front of Scott, who has just grimaced in pain and flopped onto his back. "What the hell are you doing?" Allison exclaimed as she looked at her father, who stammered anxiously as he tried to explain as Allison crouches down to place a comforting hand on Scott's arm while Blair links her arm with her fathers. "H-he came out of nowhere, Allison." Chris stuttered out as Allison looked at her father with an incredulous expression while Blair bit her lip, trying to stop herself from laughing.

"Are you trying to kill him?" Allison asked, eyes wide. Scott, knowing what he knows about Argent's secret night job, looks at Argent in fear. "No, no, of course not! He just-he just ran out into the driveway." Chris defends himself. Scott, not wanting to draw attention to himself or why he was there, immediately starts to try to change the subject in an apologetic tone of voice. "'m sorry. It's my fault, I'm sorry." Scott said as he looked from Chris and Blair to Allison who looked at him with concern and put her hand to his face, brushing back his hair with her fingers.

"You okay?" Allison asked softly. "Yeah. Y-yeah, I'm fine. I swear. Sorry, I hit your car. I was just coming to say hi," Scott said. Argent, unsure of what is really going on and clearly concerned about his daughter's feelings for Scott, looks at the young man with a slightly suspicious expression.

"You sure you're okay?" Chris asks Scott as he reaches out a hand to help him up Allison putting her hand on Scott's back to support him. "Yeah. Yeah, completely." Scott said as he straightened himself out. Once Scott is standing, he tries to get himself out of the now-awkward conversation. "Uhhh, I should go." Scott said, hoping to get away but Allison once again reaches up with her right hand and brushes Scott's bangs away from his face. "I've got a lacrosse game to get to." Scott says as Blair raises her eyebrow, she had heard he wasn't going to play.

Allison lets her hand drop, and Chris, looking back and forth between Allison and Scott and seeing the obvious romantic tension between them, however, Scott's attention is completely on Allison. "You're still coming, right?" Scott asked, hoping he'd see her there. Allison laughs and looks at him flirtatiously.

"Of course I'm coming." Allison confirmed as she nodded but Chris, wanting to keep an eye on the target of his daughter's affections, jumped into their conversation. "We all are." Chris says, making Scott look at him in surprise as he smiles fakely and pats Scott on the arm before putting an arm around Blair who smiles at him as well.

Blair sits in between her father and Allison as the whistle blows sending both teams running off the bench and onto the field. Stiles remained with the other benchwarmers, nervously chewing the fingers of his gloves. Out on the field Scott walks out to take his position and pulls his helmet down while glaring at him, Jackson walks onto with confidence and turns his back to Scott. The Ref brings the whistle to his lips as Jackson tightens his grip on his lacrosse stick, Jackson scoops up the ball before anyone else could. Scott moves, getting ready and open for a pass but Jackson tosses the ball to someone else.

Scott hurries forward to take the ball that was rolling on the ground but Jackson does first, stealing the ball from Scott. Jackson takes a shot toward the opposing goal. The ball hits the net and the crowd cheers, shouts for Jackson erupting among them. "That's it, Jackson! Get fired up! Fired up!" Coach yelled.

The whistle blows again but Scott runs towards the ball but he can never get it. He keeps trying, but nothing happens. Twisting around the stick, he looked like he's about to snap. At the start of the next quarter, the Ref comes walking past the players with the ball but pauses when he is about to pass Scott. "You okay, kid?" The ref asked and Scott nodded, the ref started to walk away. Blair watched as she looked next to her to see her sister reluctantly helping Lydia hold up her sign 'Jackson IS #1!!1' making her cringe.

"Oh god," Blair sighed softly. The Ref blew the whistle, Jackson and the opposing Player fought for the ball, which sent it flying up in the air and which Scott took his chance and leaps up, taking. He lands before sprinting back down the field, past Jackson. The ball goes flying, past the goalie and into the net. Everyone all shot up cheering for Scott as Coach yelled. "Pass to McCall!"

The whistle blows and Scott's off again, moving to get the ball but it's taken by the other team. Scott just looks at him and he is so freaked out he tosses the ball to Scott making the whole crowd go quiet. "Did the opposing team just deliberately pass the ball to us?" Coach asked, standing behind Stiles and Blair. "I believe so, Coach." Stiles answered, making Coach slowly nod, "Interesting."

Sprinted past the other players like the flash Scott throws the ball and the goalie tries to stop it but the ball cuts a hole right through the next of his sticks. People in the bleachers cheer as the ball hits the net and the Goalie lowers his stick to see the busted pocket. Scott backs away as Blair watches in amazement as Coach surrounds the other team's Coach, shouting and arguing with twenty seconds left on the clock. "Goal!" The whistle blows and both Jackson and the opposing player go for the ball which tumbles out of their grasp.

Jackson tries to grab it but Scott runs past, grabbing it right in the middle of its flight again. He charges for the goal Stiles grip his fingers hands in anticipation as everyone watches Scott. Two players on the opposing team started to run at him but he launched the ball and despite the Goalie's desperate dive the ball hit the net causing everyone to cheer and run down to the field.

"Yes! Ha, oh my god." Stiles yells as Scott is still standing in the middle of the field, seemingly dumbstruck by the fact that he just won the game, however, he's finally brought back to reality when he suddenly drops his stick on the ground and removes his right glove to find his fingernails are extending into claws, not wanting to expose his secret to the crowd, he runs toward the school just as the audience members start running onto the field to congratulate and console the players on the Beacon Hills and opposing teams.

Allison leaves her sister with her father as she runs toward where she had seen him standing, excited to congratulate Scott on a job well done, and is confused to find that he has vanished in the crowd. She looks around in an effort to find him, and her smile dims slightly in confusion when she sees him running quickly toward the school.

"I am so proud of you." Blair said to her sister as they sat in Blair's room later that night, after they had come home from the game. "Stop it," Allison says as she playfully pushes her sister, who ends up falling on the floor, causing the twins to laugh harder as their father walks into the room, hearing the noise from downstairs, he wanted to check on his daughters.

"Everything okay here?" He asked as he looked between Allison, who was still on the bed and Blair who was on the floor. "Yeah, dad we're good, I fell off the bed that's all," Blair replied as she got up and sat back on the bed. "Okay, well you two should get to bed, I'll see you two in the morning as he kept the door open for Allison to head back to her room, which she did after saying night to her dad. "Goodnight sweetheart," Chris said as he kissed Allison's forehead and then Blair's before leaving.

Derek was walking out the station when he looked up and saw Kendra Rosewell, his childhood best friend. "You were the one they called?" Derek asked as he walked closer to her as she nodded. "Don't know if you remember but we used to be thick as thieves around here, and they knew i was still in town and called me to come pick you up. But what I want to know is, why didn't you tell me you were in town?" She asked as she looked at him with a frown making Derek sigh

"I didn't wanna tell you like this ken," Derek sighed, making her frown more. "Tell me what?" Kendra demanded as she stepped forward. "The body-it was Laura," Derek let out, making Kendra gasp as tears brimmed her eyes. "What?" she said softly, close to crying. "I'm sorry Ken, I was going to tell you but as you can see I was arrested." Derek said before Kendra walked up to him and gave Derek a hug as he hugged her bag as tightly before the both of them got into her car and drove to her apartment, she had given him no choice, he was gonna sleep in her spare bedroom, till he found a place, one that wasn't his burned down childhood home.
