The second day came around just as quick as the first one had, she walked through the double doors and into a hallway that was heaving with thousands of teenagers. Sienna, luckily enough remembered where it was and how to get to get next class, but she still looked around for Stiles to double check. But, being shorter than the majority she couldn't see exceedingly far above the mass of pupils' heads, she only wanted to ask if she was going in the right direction, however him still nowhere to be seen, she went in the direction she was almost certain was the right way.

Fortunately, it was and just as the bell to dismiss everyone from the hallways and into their classrooms rang through its final few decibels of the high pitched shriek, she entered the class. The four people she'd been somewhat acquainted to were all sitting in the same seats as yesterday, the last spot remaining was an empty reminder that that was where she had to go. So she did. She shot each of them a smile as they all discreetly but not-quite-discreetly enough, watched as she placed her belongings onto the floor beside the metal table and sat down with a sigh. Avoiding their gazes, she was well aware that their focus's were collectively still planted onto her, she fiddled with a pen and its black lid between her fingers. Questions running through her mind, as an uncomfortable silence set in around her. Why are they still watching me? Finally looking up from the intent stare that the piece of plastic was receiving from her, a relieved feeling coursed through her as she realised their attention was in-fact on the teacher and not her. Anxiety and paranoia. Not a good combo for the new kid.

Her, Allison and Lydia were still partners so once the teacher had finished explaining the next part of their task, the three girls sat together again and discussed many other things, almost purposefully eluding the topic that they were actually supposed to be talking about.

The lesson ended and the rest of her classes went about just as smoothly as the day previous had, she'd been partnered with different people during her lessons which she enjoyed getting to know them, however she'd grown another disliking to a particular student: other than Greenberg obviously, it was a boy named Jake Richards. He seemed sketchy and a-bit too 'try-hardy', however she only sat with him in History so Sienna wasn't overly bothered by his presence.

Lunch had arrived and so had Siennas escape to the bathroom stall.

Sitting on the closed, glossy-white toilet seat she began to open her lunch when her phone rang. Debating on whether to answer it or not, however quickly deciding to, she picked it up. Much to her surprise, the unknown caller turned out to be Lydia. She hadn't even give her her number, clearly this was Lydia's stalking skills at their finest.

      " Hey, don't ask how I got your number, it wasn't too hard by the way. Anyways, where are you? We didn't see you yesterday at lunch and I can't see you in here today" the strawberry blonde enquired.

      " Oh-erm. Yeah, I'm at the toilets, why?"

      " We saved you a seat. Come to the cafeteria when you're done, okay?... bye"

The next thing Sienna heard was the clicks of the call ending, closing her eyes she took a    half-nervous and half-relieved deep breath in. She didn't even have to make the move and she was already invited to sit with the girls.

Hastily, Sienna grabbed her bag that was laying against the wall and shoved her tin-foiled sandwich somewhere in one of the open pockets. Pushing away the remnants of anxiety that were edging their way towards her conscious thoughts, she remained focused on the positive ones, the ones that reminded her that this was her fresh start. Her new life. So she needed to make the most of it and take every single good thing that she could in her stride.
All the normal pressures of being new where difficult enough, but she was juggling these whilst simultaneously trying to find the answers to something—whilst having absolutely no clue where to look.
All she knew was one single word.
One which may or may not help her.
She only had that word in mind, something that could reveal or at-least help to reveal everything her mind longed to know.
That was the only thing that was always on Siennas mind.
She'd seen this word somewhere but couldn't recall where. She knew it was relevant but she didn't know why. The word meant something specific to her but what it meant she didn't know, yet she knew she needed to find out.
It's called the - Bestiary.

Yet, being in school, having to put the source of education ahead of her questions for now. She made her way to the cafeteria, towards the girls who sat opposite each other on one of the benches. Each having a school lunch laid out in-front of them.

A sudden found confidence laced in her stride, she walked over to the girls with a pearly smile across her face. Guarding her inner fears, tucking them away to a place she wouldn't be able to find and veiling herself in an aura which she casted out for them all to see. She was happy and she going to be okay at Beacon hills. She knew it.

Despite having the rational fears that any new student would, she fit in well there quite quickly. Allison and Lydia had both taken a keen interest in her. Much similar as to how Allison was basically adopted by Lydia the moment she first walked through the doors of Beacon Hills high school to. The three girls again conversed about whatever topics came to mind, chatting away almost as if they'd all known each-other their whole lives.

However, stiles and Scott watched the them from a distance at another table. Stiles' eye fixated mostly on Lydia however it flickered back to the blonde every now and then. However, Scott kept watching Sienna and not even sparing a glance at the brunette in this moment, skeptical, almost as if he was waiting for her to make the wrong move. Listening to their conversation, both he and Stiles knew it was wrong but it didn't stop him trying to find out more about her. He didn't know her and he didn't yet trust her, although he thought she was nice but that wasn't enough, his friends are more important than the new girl and he wasn't prepared to let anyone else in. For his own protection or for hers, either way, he didn't want anyone to get close.

Yet that's exactly what she is doing.

A/N so she's getting closer to the girls, and Stiles' eye seems to be wandering. No this is not one of those fanfics where he's gonna ask her to be his girlfriend the moment they begin talking, it just shows the potential interest he may have;) this book is a Stiles fanfic but it's based around Sienna and her choices and what happens to her:)..... Scott doesn't not like her, but he just is heavily set on protecting whoever he can. He's just a little defensive right now, I'll try and demonstrate it better through the next few chapters. But I'm definitely looking forward to them becoming friends.
