At the end of the day I was at my locker packing up my stuff when Stiles came up to me.

"Hey, I, um, I was wondering if you wanted to come to the lacrosse game tonight?" He asked me, seeming super nervous.

"Oh, I don't know I-" my phone dinged, cutting me off. I opened my phone to see a text from Derek.

'Me, you, tomorrow night at 8.' I smiled down and my phone, replying to him.

'works for me!' The sound of Stiles clearing his throat caused me to look up.

"Yeah, I'll be there." I said, putting on a soft smile at the end. He just nodded his head and smiled at me before walking away. what a weirdo.

Later that night I ended up being late to the lacrosse game because I wanted to take my mom's car and look cool. When I got out of my car and started heading towards the field I noticed Lydia was in her car crying. I quickly headed towards her car, but someone grabbed my arm before I could reach it. I was about to turn around, but all of a sudden my whole body went numb and I flopped onto the ground. what the heck? why can't I move?

I wanted to scream, but I didn't want to grab anyone else's attention except for Lydia's. If this is an effect from being a vampire, I don't wanna be one anymore. I tried my best to look around, but I could barely move my neck. About thirty minutes had passed, all the cars were out of the parking lot, and here I was on the ground like a loser. It felt like forever until I heard a voice.

"Skyla?" I heard Scott say before he came towards me. "Are you ok?"

"Ah, yes, I'm doing just fine... does it look like I'm ok?! I can't move and I'm stuck on the ground covered in dirt and-" I was cut off when I felt myself being moved, I was now sat upright next to a car. "Thanks Scott."

He walked off and it wasn't long after that I got the feeling in my body back. I was about to just get back in the car and head home until I saw Derek.

"Derek!" I called out to him, causing him to look my way, I quickly made my way towards him, hugging him tightly. His body was weirdly tense, but it didn't take long before he eased up and hugged me back. "Sorry if I'm covered in dirt, I was just on the floor of the parking lot unable to move for... a really long time."

"Wait, Erica, weren't you in the parking lot?" Derek asked, causing me to pull away and as I looked to the right I saw the blonde from earlier today.

"Yeah, I was... guess I didn't see you. Sorry." Erica said to me, pretending to be sincere.

"Do you need a ride home?" Derek asked me.

"No, I brought my mom's car, but I'll see you tomorrow." I pressed a quick kiss to his cheek before walking off and driving back home.

The next day at school the first time I saw Scott was after first period and luckily we had second period together and I made sure to sit behind Stiles.

"What the hell is a Kanima?" Was what I heard the guy beside me say, I didn't really know who he was, but I'm pretty sure he's on the lacrosse team.

"Ok, listen up. A quick warning before we begin our review. Some of you, like McCall, might want to start doing their own study groups, because tomorrow's midterm is so profoundly difficult... I'm not even so sure I could pass it." I heard coach say before I zoned out, thinking about my date tonight with Derek until I saw the guys next to me lips move again.

"Paralyzed from the neck down. Do you have any idea what that feels like?" I heard him say, causing my interest to peak as I leaned forward a bit, making eye contact with Stiles for a second.

"I'm familiar with the sensation." Stiles said.

"I am too." I said kind of quiet, but the guy next to me still heard me. He just looked me up and down real quick before turning to Scott who was asking him a question. I was looking down at my notebook until I felt eyes on me. The dude was staring at me again. "Can I help you?"

"Sure you can." He said before winking at me. I gave him a death glare before going back to my notebook. "It's Jackson, by the way."

"Does your middle name happen to be Can't Take A Hint? Because I am not interested."

"Oh, please, you really expect me to believe that? Every girl is interested in-"

"Jackson! Do not make me yell at you again!" Coach yelled, causing me to laugh a bit.
