Another school day had finished and the three girls left the building together, they had grown closer over the past week, spending most of their time together; shopping, going round one of their houses or FaceTime calls. Today is exactly one week since they had invited Sienna over to their table at lunch, exactly one week since Sienna last felt like she was alone at school and exactly one week since she had last spoken to Scott or Stiles. None of the girls had yet spoken to the boys, they were too focused on their own things to really even think about them. And instead of having Stiles to help navigate her through the school halls, she had both girls either side of her to help show her around until she eventually caught onto the right directions. They'd quickly become the bestest of friends, so good that she'd almost, completely forgotten about her old ones.

They'd only called several times and those calls had been no longer than 20 minutes, she was busy a lot more than she had expected to be, this being with her new friends. Sienna did have moments when she was sad because of it, she did miss her friends deeply and the lack of contact was difficult however her new friends did keep her occupied and they made her just as happy. A habit developed quickly over the short time of her being in Beacon Hills, a consistent but subconscious subtle little thing that she caught herself doing, specifically when she was thinking back to her old life, she'd clutch the necklace and hold it tightly against her chest or within her fingers. A silver reminder that she will always have them close to her heart even if they weren't close to her.

The three girls walked across the busy car park, a mixture of colours dotted across the concrete that was covered in a variety of vehicles. Reaching the back of the lot, the girls stopped abruptly when they saw a blue jeep parked directly next to Lydia's car, two familiar boys leaning against the hood talking to one another.

Shooting each other a look, the three still hadn't yet discussed the deal between the two boys and two girls, so, awkwardly Sienna stood aware of the tension hanging between the two sides. The noise of the conversation between the boys quickly died out as they saw the three females approaching somewhat reluctantly. Locking onto the two boys' gazes, Sienna shot them each a smile and then she ensured she remained behind the two girls as they made their way to the strawberry blondes car, using the girls as a guard to the uncomfortable encounter, she could practically feel the nerves from them all. Neither Allison or Lydia wanted to converse with the boys, they'd left things on awkward terms and none were yet ready to speak up.

However, Scott had bucked enough courage to make the first move. He didn't like their arguments and this is by far the worst one he's had with Allison.
Stiles had never really been 'with' Lydia, but that didn't stop his immense crushing for her but they were still close friends so inevitably he missed talking with her, as did he with Allison. Their group had been spilt apart by the feelings that infected them all. But, longing and love will forever be stronger than pain and distance, even if it takes a while to realise it.

But now both boys seemed somewhat replaced by the new blonde and they wanted back into their old lives with the two girls, Stiles didn't mind the new addition however Scott still remained apprehensive about letting her too close, yet because of the whole 'no talking' with Allison he didn't exactly feel it was his right to mention anything to her about it.

The brown haired boy moved the locks from his face and hooked them behind his ear as he nervously took a step towards the girls, " Hey, Allison, Lydia and er..Sienna. Can we talk to you, well mainly Allison and Lydia. Nothing personal Sienna, it's just about...stuff" he shot her a short but sorry smile as he looked back to the brunette.

Sienna respectably understood she wasn't involved in what was to be said, so she backed off and sat in the passenger seat of Lydia's car. She watched the four stand to the side of the blue jeep, in what seemed like a heated discussion. She tapped the side of the window and drew patterns in the condensation with her pinky, getting bored of the muffled chatter and the growing silence she eventually put on the radio.

However, outside the car the four seemed to be talking through their differences in a somewhat reserved but a clearly very passive aggressive manner. Sienna could still hear small parts of their conversation even over the radio, not that she was purposefully eavesdropping, but she couldn't exactly help but listen to the few words which were spoken a bit too loudly and slipped through the boundaries of the cars windows.

      " Scott you can't control who I'm friends with. Sienna is good, you need to stop being so scared of everyone"
      " Just be careful you never know what's round the corner, we've dealt with Jackson already.... I'm not up for risking our lives again for another thing that we didn't expect. Because I'm expecting it now, I'll be ready....You should be too."

Sienna was shocked, her eyebrows furrowed as her attention was drawn to her own thoughts, she couldn't comprehend the words that had come out from his mouth. She thought something bad happened but something to do with their relationship, she didn't exactly assume it had resulted in a near death experience or anything even remotely as bad as that. The question of, why her being friends with them could affect them badly rattled her brain, something supposedly so bad being caused by someone like her, how? Why would they even think she would cause something like whatever happened before, again? As far as she knew, was was almost normal, but as far as they knew she was normal, yet she knew she was good at the end of the day, despite her not knowing exactly who or what she was.
Three questions still ran endless laps through her mind - what do they not want me to know? What did happen before I came here? And who is Jackson? Focus shifted back to her friends and what they were hiding from her and what had actually happened before she arrived at Beacon Hills.

      " No, we are going shopping. There's a dance we are going to Scott. Next week, remember? You were going to take me, but it's fine I'm going with Lyds and Sienna now. So, Goodbye"

That was the last thing Sienna heard before the two girls' entered the car, the demeanour of anger had entirely slipped away from both their faces and the facade of being happy was in play. Sienna had to quite quickly slip into the mindset of - act like I don't know a thing- managing to pull it off quite well, the girls didn't suspect she had heard a thing as the blue car began to drive off at a speed probably too high in a school car park.
