Chapter 2: Realization

Athena's POV

Instant regret hit me as soon as his lips touched mine, all of the things I could've done to get him to shut up and the first thing that comes to mind is kissing him.
He didn't pull away though, he deepened the kiss and I was the one that had to pull away.

I pulled away and was about to close my eyes as if that would make me invisible to him. "Uh-" is all I could even get out.

"I- uh I should go now", I said, my voice low.

"Again? This is when you left last time too, can you just not handle things like basic affection?" he said, he was right, I leave and go ghost whenever someone shows any interest in me, even if that interest is just a kiss. But I wasn't going to let him have the satisfaction of being right with his smart comments.

Here goes the second lie to him today. let's see if he can tell with this one.

"I told Malia I'd see her when I came back. Just because I left because of you once doesn't mean you're always going to be the reason." Oh if only he knew he was the reason I always left.

"Lying again tonight?" he asked.

"Twice in a night? You know me better than that." I said, lying yet again, he knows nothing about me.

"Sure. Goodbye Athena, come back here after your first day of senior year that you're oh so excited for," he said, laughing as he walked away.

I didn't say anything, I just rolled my eyes and walked to my car. I started the car and drove off, having no clue of where to actually go. I could go to Malia's house but she probably hates me considering I left unnoticed.

There's always Stiles, my childhood best friend along with Scott. I drove to Stiles' house and knocked on the door, his father answered.

"Sheriff Stilinski, I haven't seen you in a while,"

"Athena Chamberlain, the third troublemaker, come in"

I walked in and saw Stiles in the corner of my eye, before I could say another word Stiles ran up to me and hugged me tightly, as if he didn't just see me last month. He was the only one of my friends I actually kept in contact with.

"Are you going to school tomorrow?" Stiles asked, I could tell he was just as curious as I was.

"I wish I could tell you, I don't know if I want to go back or not"

"Well you should, Malia has been asking about you nonstop." shocking, I guess she doesn't hate me.

"For the sake of Malia, I'll go"

We continued talking for another hour in Stiles' room. I was debating on whether or not I should tell him about what just happened with Derek.

"So, anything interesting in the last month?" he asked, breaking the silence.

"Uhh nothing you'd be interested to hear" I'll add that to the list of lies i've told tonight, he's the one person that would want to know.

"I have some hours before I need to go to sleep, I have time, even if it's a boring story" he said, fake yawning after.

"What do you think Scott or Malia would say if I per se.. kissed Derek?"

"You WHAT" he practically yelled out.

"I never said that I did, I want to know what they'd say if I were to ever do something like that" I said, completely lying yet again.

"Well they'd probably think you're joking, you don't seem like the type to like Derek Hale, you hated him after he bit you" he kept going on and on about how much I hated Derek, and he was right. I did hate Derek, but things change and people change.

Eventually he stopped talking about my hatred for Derek when my phone rang.

"Might wanna take that"

I got up and walked to Stiles' window and answered the phone, it was Derek.

"Doesn't look like you're at Malia's house" he said, he sounded mad.

"What the hell Derek?! Are you stalking me?" I looked out the window and saw someone behind the trees.

"I had to make sure you aren't getting yourself into trouble, Athena, I'm not "stalking" you" he said, as if that would make me feel any better.

"Derek, i'm not getting myself into trouble, so leave." I say, trying to reassure him that I'm not stupid.

"You got yourself into trouble as soon as YOU kissed me, leave Stiles' house, come down here with me" he said in a stern tone then hung up.

I just left his place less than two hours ago, what could he possibly want?

"I need to go, Stiles, I'll see you tomorrow"

"See you tomorrow thena," God I hated that nickname he had for me.

I left his house and walked down to where Derek was outside. Derek didn't look his tone, he sounded angry but he still had on the same face he did 2 hours before.

"I see your stalking skills have gotten better, huh?"
I say, hoping we were back on joking terms. I always caught him when he watched me and this was the first time I hadn't caught him in years.

"If only you knew how many times I haven't been caught, Athena, if only you knew"

I looked at him confused, where else has he been watching me? Did he know where I was all that time I was gone?
