"of course your still the team captain." Stiles said trying to calm down Scott. We walked into the lacrosse stadium and saw all the players on the field.
"You got your grades up just like coach told you to, right?" Stiles asked my brother.
"Yeah, but he never told me I was back on the team. He just told me to show up at tryouts today."
"Look we got bigger things to deal with anyway." I said turning around to face them as we stopped.
"Yeah, oh and did you tell argent yet?" Stiles said.
"Ah, I texted him but he didn't get back to me."
"You told him his sister Kate came back from the dead over a text?" Stiles said unbelievably.
"Well I didn't have the money to call France."
"Yeah, you think you got money problems?" Stiles asked. "Try paying for an MRI and a visit to eichen house."
"Another notice?" I asked and stiles nodded.
"Yeah, this one said "final". Now what the hell are we even doing here anyway?" He asked us speaking faster. "We got like 117 million problems, and and worrying about status on the lacrosse team isn't one of them." As stile finishes his rant I saw Scott look behind him at something.
"It is now." Me and stiles turn around to see the goalie blocking every shot. Not one got past him.
"Who the hell is that?" Stiles asked and the kid took his mask off. He looked really familiar but I couldn't really remember him.
"No clue, but he's kinda cutem" I said with a smirk and stiles slapped me on the shoulder.
"Ok maybe we should just practise a little bit." Then they ran out of the field while I took a seat on the bleachers. I couldn't play lacrosse anymore since what happened with my IED, since I was banned from playing at this school ever again. I was made co coach. So basically I was the boss. And yeah, I kind of did flex it to Scott and stiles when coach told the whole team. I waited for a while, watching all the boys play until I saw coach walking into the field. I got up and followed him.
"Where's mcall?" He asked.
"Here." Scott raised his hand.
"No, little mcall. You know, co coach mcall."
"Right here coach!" I said as I appeared from behind him.
"Oh there you are. Right, I want everyone doing suicide runs. Now!" He yelled at them then turned back to me.
"Alright, who do you think has talent?" I thought about it for a moment.
"Well there was this one kid that caught every shot."
"Never missed?" He asked me.
"He never missed."
"Well, who is he?" I point over to the boy wearing the grey shirt. He gets out his roll and looks at the photos with the names under them.
"Liam Dunbar." He says.
"I think he has a chance. A very high one at coming team captain."
"Really?" Coach says with raised eyebrows. I nod. We watch them run about 2 more laps and saw that Liam came first. So this kid is fast too.
"You call it in y/n." He said and walked off. I blew my whistle and yelled,
"Alright everyone!" They all looked to me straight away.
"I want you all getting a drink, then come back here for further instructions!" They all nodded except Liam who looked around confused. I heard him say to a kid,
"Why is everyone listening to her?"
"Because she's y/n Mcall. 1. She's scary when she's mad. 2. She's co coach. She's basically the boss." He nodded then went to go get a drink with all the others. Once they got back I made them sit on the floor to catch their breath. "Alright, I want you all here after school for try outs! Got that?" I asked and they all nodded.
"Good, now go get changed, you all smell." I said holding my nose and they laughed. They all left and I saw stiles and Scott come up to me.
"I wasn't joking about the smelling part guys." I said.
"Were gonna question that kid." Stiles said,
"His name's Liam." I corrected
"Well, were going to question Liam. No human is that good at lacrosse. He's got to be a werewolf." I sighed knowing I won't be changing his mind and walked off with them. We got there and he was putting on a white shirt.
"Hey, Liam." Stiles said and he looked between Scott and stiles then at me.
"You wanna explain what that was out there?" Stiles asked him.
"What do mean?" He answered with a confused expression.
"That little circus act you had going."
"What circus act?"
"You caught every shot."
"Yeah, I was in goal."
"Yeah, but nothing, not a single shot got past you."
"I was the goalie. You guys played this game before?" He asked and sniggered.
"Your a freshman, right?" Scott asked him and he answered.
"Yeah."
"But you weren't here last semester."
"I transfered, from devenford prep."
"You transferred?" Scott asked and I could tell he was listening to Liam's heartbeat.
"Yeah." Liam answered.
"No, you got kicked out didn't you?"
"Alright, look." Liam chuckled nervously. "Kicked out, transferred, what do you guys care? I came here to play lacrosse alright? The team could use a few good players, right?"
"No." Stiles said straight away.
"Actually we kind of do." Scott said after and then I responded with,
"Yeah, ever since I got kicked off the team, things started going downhill, remember?"
"Wait, you got kicked off? Why?"
"Okay how'd you get this good?" Stiles said seeing how uncomfortable I was.
"Have you always been this good? Or did it sort of just happen over night? Have you ever been out in the middle of the woods during the night of a full..."
"Stiles." Me and Scott interrupt him before he goes any further.
"Look, I learner from my stepdad, all right? He made team captain when he was a sophomore. Just like you." He turned to Scott as he said this. Then he turns back to stiles,
"And yeah, I guess I'm just that good." He then leaves with his bag and shirt.
"He wasn't lying that time." Scott said as they watched him leave and I scoff. Maybe I can get answers from him. I run after him and catch him in the school hallway.
"Liam! Wait up!" I yell and he stops.
"Hey y/n." He says with a smile.
"I need to talk to you." I say and drag him into the janitors closet. I make sure nobody saw us then lock the door. I turn back to him and say,
"Ok, let's make this quick." I sit on the desk that's in there and start off with,
"Are you human?" He gives me a look that says he thinks I'm crazy. Ok maybe that wasn't a good way to start.
"Yeah, I am" he says slowly and I think he's trying not to laugh. I sigh.
"No what I'm trying to say is, nobody that hot and that good at lacrosse is human. You gotta be something else." He raises one eyebrow.
"Well I can assure you that... Wait, did you say you think I'm hot?" He asks with a smirk.
"Answer the question Dunbar." I say and he sighs.
"Yes, mCaLl. I am human." He says exaggerating my last name.
I looked up at him with raised eyebrows and sighed in defeat.
"Ok fine whatever." I say and go to leave but he grabs my wrist gently.
"I think your pretty hot too with your coach whistle." I blush and shake my head then walk out. Definitely not falling for him.
I try to focus on my classes all day but I find myself thinking about Liam. All I can think about is him and the way he blocked every shot.
"Y/n." I looked up at the towering figure in front of me.
"Uh yes coach?" I asked.
"What's the answer to question 4?" He asked me.
"Uhhhhh," I looked at the board and stood up. Ok, what does your heart rate have to go to in order to lose weight. Easy. 180 beats per minute. I write it up on the board and sit back down.
"Nice work y/n. See, this is why your my favourite student." He said loudly so the whole class could hear. Once class was over I quickly hurried my way over to the lacrosse field. I walked to the boys locker room and got there just in time to hear coaches whistle. I grab mine off the hook and walk in and stand next to Scott and stiles.
"As a reminder, it's open tryouts today. All positions are available." Coach said to all of us. "Except for yours." He said and pointed to me. I nodded and he gave me a thumbs up.  "Now this is a rebuilding season people. Jackson's gone. Lacey's gone. Greenberg, the one guy I actually wanted gone..." he then let the paper fall and sighed, "got held back, again. Get your asses on the field!" All the boys started grabbing all their stuff while I saw Scott run after coach.
"Where's he going?" Stiles asked me.
"To go see if he's still captain."
"Well, is he?"
"All positions are open." I sighed and saw Liam smirking as Scott walked past him. I knew that stiles saw him too so I said,
"That little shit." He nodded in agreement and we set out to the field.
