1.3.1

"Madi!" I hear making me open my eyes. I see Derek standing over my bed with his arms crossed. "Yes?" I ask annoyed. "You have school today. And you're late" He tells me. "Then I guess I just won't go" I tell him rolling over on to my stomach. I bury my face into my pillow. "Madison Elizabeth Hale, you better get out of bed right now. I'm giving you 5 seconds." He tells me. I flip over and narrow my eyes at him. "Or what?" I challenge.


"5......4......3" He continues counting but I cross my arms and stare up at him. "2..............1" He says uncrossing his arms. "0" I say with a smirk. He looks at me with pure anger. "You've done it this time" He tells me. "What are you gonna do now?" I ask him.

I limp into the school in pain. God dammit Derek. The halls were almost empty since I was late. I notice Stiles' dad walking down the hall towards where the buses are usually parked. If the sheriff is here then something bad happened. I walk towards where he walked out and open the doors. It wasn't open that much but just enough for me to see. My jaw drops as I see one of the buses surrounded by cops. It was covered in blood and the back was almost torn off it's hinges.


What really told me that this wasn't an ordinary attack was that there were four scratches on the back door. It was too spread apart for it to be a regular animal. The alpha was here last night. I catch a whiff of the blood. Now, hopefully that's his blood. So if I have his scent it will lead Derek and I right to him.

I walk into the chemistry classroom, the injury from Derek already healed. Mr. Harris, the worst teacher you could ever have, turns to me with a scowl. "Glad you could finally make it to class Ms. Hale. Why don't you take a seat in the back?" He tells me. "But my seat is in the front" I say confused. "Not anymore" He tells me. I glare at him making my way to my new seat in the back corner.


Allison, who happened to be right in front of me thanks to my new seat, turns around and looks at me confused. "What happened? Why were you late?" She asks. "My alarm didn't go off" I shrug getting out my chemistry notebook. "Hey, look at me" She says. I stop what I'm doing and look up at her. I watch as she examines my face. Her focused face looked so hot. "Are you okay?" She asks. "Me? Yeah...yeah I'm fine" I nod. "Okay" She says. She looks me over one more time before turning around.


Lydia who was right across the room sitting next to Jackson looks over with a smirk. She mouths for me to talk to her after class and I nod. "Mr. Stilinski, if that's your idea of a hushed whisper, you might want to pull the headphones out every once in a while. I think you and Mr. McCall would benefit from a little distance, yes?" Mr. Harris asks. "No." Stiles quickly disagrees. "McCall up here. Stilinski why don't you take a seat next to Ms. Hale" He says. Stiles looks over at me before quickly grabbing his stuff. "Let me know if the separation anxiety gets to be too much" Harris says as Stiles takes a seat next to me and Scott sits in front of Jackson and Lydia.


"Hey" Stiles greets. "Hello" I greet as well. "Did you hear what happened about the bus?" He asks. "No but I saw it." I tell him. "Well um, Scott had a dream last night about..." He nods his head towards Allison. "He had a dream about her" I question in disbelief. He nods quickly. "Yeah they were on the bus..." "Okay I don't want to hear about this Stiles" I cut him off in disgust. "Okay well long story short he dreamt about attacking her. He was telling me about it and we found the bus like that. It wasn't Allison though but we think it was him who did it" He tells me.


I look at him with wide eyes. Before I can say anything the girl next to Scott quickly shoots out of her seat. "Hey, I think they found something." She shouts running towards the window. Everyone follows suit running towards the window as well. Stiles grabs my hand leading me toward the window. We watch as people lead a guy on a stretcher to an ambulance. Scott stands next to us as everyone watches.


"That's not a rabbit" He whispers to Stiles. "No shit sherlock. What the hell did you do last night?" I ask him. He shrugs as we turn our attention back to the guy they found. He shoots up and screams in terror making everyone jump. Allison almost falls back but I quickly catch her. She holds on to me as Scott and Stiles back up. "Sorry Madi" she apologizes dusting herself off. "It's okay" I say trying to hide my bright red cheeks from her. The bell rings signaling class was over. I quickly rush to my seat and grab my things.


I rush out of the classroom trying to get away from Allison. Someone grabs my arm stopping me. "What's with the rush?" Lydia asks. "Sorry" I say. "It's okay. We need to talk" She tells me. We start walking toward her locker. "About?" I question curiously. "You and Allison" She shrugs. I quickly stop looking at her with wide eyes. "What? What about us?" I ask. "Come on Mads. I already know you have a huge crush on her. You told me at my party. And plus it's pretty obvious the way you act around her." She says as we reach her locker. "Yeah but I only told you because I thought you were drunk and wouldn't remember" I say leaning against the locker next to hers. "You really think I wouldn't remember my best friend's crush?" She questions me.


"Do you think she notices?" I ask. "No. She's too busy dating Scott to notice" She says. "Oh my God! Don't remind me" I groan rubbing my face. "Well they're going out tomorrow. I can see if we can get a triple date going. Maybe get you two closer" She suggests. "Yeah but who would I go with?" I ask. "I'll figure It out. Just trust me. Besides I wouldn't mind helping you two out. You two would be cute together." She says. She pats my shoulder and closes her locker. She struts away leaving me there.

I sit down at Scott and Stiles' table catching them off guard. "We need to talk about this whole bus fiasco." I tell them. "Wait. Stiles you told her?" Scott asks. "I might have when Harris moved me next to her" He shrugs sheepishly. He groans. "Well you were planning on asking Derek" He tries to defend himself. "You guys! It doesn't matter. You almost killed someone. Do you know how dangerous that is for us? We could be found out if you don't keep yourself in control" I tell him.


"And what makes you so sure Derek even has all the answers?" Stiles adds. "Because during the full moon he wasn't changed. He was in total control while I was running around in the middle of the night attacking some totally innocent guy" He explains. "So was Madi" Stiles points out. I nod my head taking a fry off of Stiles tray. Scott sighs shaking his head. "I can't go out with Allison. I have to cancel" Scott says. A smile starts to form on my face hearing that statement. "No, you're not canceling, okay? You can't just cancel your entire life. We'll figure it out." Stiles tells him making my smile drop.


We watch as a tray gets put down beside Scott. We look up to see Lydia standing there. "Figure what out?" She questions curiously. Stiles laughs nervously looking at Scott. They both turn to me already knowing why she sat here. "Oh we're talking about homework. Scott here was having trouble figuring out our chemistry homework" I lie easily. Scott glares at me while Stiles looks at me in shock. "Right Scott?" I ask nodding my head. "Yeah. right" He quickly says sending me one more glare. "Yeah...yeah" Stiles agrees.


More populars start sitting at our table as well. Danny sits on Stiles other side. A random guy sits on the end. Scott moves his book bag so Allison can take a seat. "Thanks." She smiles taking a seat. "Uh, hey Allison" I quickly say. "Hey Madi" She greets back. Lydia smirks at me but I ignore it. "Get up" I hear Jackson say to the random guy at the end of the table. "How come you never ask Danny to get up?" He asks. "Because I don't stare at his girlfriend's coin slot." Danny says. The guys gets up and starts walking to another table but stops behind me. "She's not the only girl I can stare at" He says with a wink. He walks away as I watch after him. I turn back around to see Allison, Scott, Lydia and Stiles staring at me. I quickly clear my throat and shift in my seat. "Not my type" I shrug looking down at the table.


"So I hear they're saying it's some type of animal attack." Danny says taking all the attention off of me. Thank you Danny. He's one of the only ones that know about my crush on Allison. But that's because he's a good friend of mine and he's fully gay. I continue to look down at the table playing with my hands. I wasn't really listening because I knew it was Scott. Well at least that's what Scott keeps saying. "Mads?" I hear causing me to look up at Lydia. "Huh?" I ask her. "You're coming right? Making it a triple date?" She asks. I look at Allison and automatically read her face. She just wants it to be her and Scott. That makes me slightly jealous but I still want to make her happy. "No. Sorry Lydia but I doubt they even want a double date." I tell her. "They just said they were okay with that" She just tells me.


"Come on Mads. You can go with him" Lydia says pointing to Stiles. Stiles and I look at each other with wide eyes. "With Stiles??" I ask in disbelief. "What the hell is a Stiles?" She asks. "Him. He is a Stiles. That's his name" I tell her. "Well you two can go together. You would be okay with that right Kyle?" Lydia asks him making me face palm. "Uhh..." He starts stuttering looking between Lydia and I. "Yeah...yeah I guess so" He nods. Oh fuck me. "Yeah see that would be fun" She smiles.


"You know what else sounds fun? Stabbing myself in the face with this fork." Jackson says making Lydia take the fork away from him. "Once you're done hand it over to me" I say making Lydia glare at me. "No one is stabbing themselves in the face with a fork" She tells us. I shake my head and look at the table. "How about bowling? You love to bowl." Lydia starts talking to Jackson. I put my head down and groan. What did I get myself into.


"Yeah with actual competition" Jackson tells her. "How do you know we're not actual competition?" Allison challenges. She looks at Scott with a smile. "You can bowl right?" Allison asks him. "Sort of." Scott shrugs. "Is it sort of, or yes?" Jackson asks suspiciously. "Yes. In fact, I'm a great bowler." He lies. I shake my head at him.

I walk in the door to see Derek on the couch. I don't know what he was doing but he looked deep in thought. "Hey Der. Everything okay?" I ask suspiciously. I set my book bag down and take a seat on the couch across from him. "What happened at school today?" He questions me. "Did you hear?" I ask him. "I think the whole town knows about the bus" He deadpans. "Scott had a dream about attacking Allison on a school bus. It turned out it actually happened so we all think he was the cause of attacking the guy" I explain. He nods before standing. "Hey wait. Where are you going?" I ask. "Can't tell you" He says. He walks out leaving me there.
