Not your type >< Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 18: Bestiary

Parked outside, Stiles watched as the blonde walked up to her house. She turned around just as she unlocked her front door to give him one last wave goodbye before she was gone from his view, inside her home. A smile arose on his face as he replayed their day together in his mind. Thinking about how close they were that he could almost feel her breath on his cheeks, how if she had gotten any closer she likely would have been able to hear his heart pounding in his chest, however Scott interrupted their time before it had really even begun. A heavy sigh rolled passed his lips before he started his engine, sparing one last gaze towards her house then driving away towards his own.

No more than 20 minutes had passed since Sienna got home, she'd tidied up her room and the downstairs although it was already tidy enough anyways, before she heard a knock on the front door. As she was sitting at the table in her kitchen and drinking some coffee, the sudden knock startled her however she got up promptly to open the door. Greeting her was Scott with a smile on his face as she welcomed him in.

      " Hey, I'm sorry for this being so last minute, I wasn't sure if you were busy or not it's just... I've got plans tonight so I really needed the notes and I saw you took some in class" Scott said apologetically.

Shaking her head as she smiled at him, she replied gently, " No, it's no trouble at all. I was with Stiles but he brought me back."

Looking even more guilty he said, " Oh next time I'll ask what you're doing before asking for notes, sorry again", but they both let out a chuckle in unison afterwards.

Shortly after, she directed for them to go upstairs so she could grab her books for him.

Entering her room, the two teenagers were quiet, Scott stood leaning against the doorway as Sienna shuffled through her desk trying to find the right book. Sharing small talk, until Scott fell silent. Noticing this, the blonde turned to face him but his eyes were fixed onto something else on her desk. As she went to ask what was wrong he walked towards her and picked up a pink post it note that was beside her piles of school work. His confusion almost as obvious as his curiosity, he looked towards her in question.

As she noticed what had gotten his attention she gently but hastily ripped the note from his hand and slide it into a draw in the desk. Silence filled the room as Sienna continued to look through her books but Scott now had his eyes fixated onto her, not knowing what to say. Not wanting to have the conversation about what it meant, she didn't know why he looked so confused about it, but she definitely didn't want to explain why she had it written down.

Clutching a red note pad, she slowly turned around to face him. Once again meeting eyes, he began to talk.

On the pink post it note, written in capital letters was the word,
Bestiary

      " Sienna... I... how do you know about that word?"

Ignoring his words, she turned from him once again. Heavily confused by his inquisition but equally scared for him so close to the veil of secrecy she was trying so desperately to hide from everyone. Trying so hard to keep one part of her hidden from the world, whilst trying to find out what that part of her was. This one word potentially held all the answers to her questions yet she still had no clue what it was, and she had no clue how to answer the boy in her room.

Dismissive but discreet, she falsified her worries into her a face of a smile, as she replied, " It's nothing Scott, here's the books you needed" as she handed them over to her. However, reluctantly he took them, but the look he shared with her, told her that he wasn't yet done with his interest in that one word.
