Chapter Five

I was standing with Stiles and Scott in the boys locker room.

Don't ask me why I was in there. (I was dragged by Stiles).

I was leaning against a locker while texting Brett.

"Did you apologize to Allison?"

I looked up from my phone. Last night, Stiles filled me in on what happened.

"Yeah"

I could tell Stiles wasn't satisfied by the short answer. My phone pinged. I grinned as I texted Brett back.

"Why is she all smiley?"

"She's talking to a boy. Names Brent or something"

"Brett. His name is Brett"

"Whatever"

I mocked Stiles. He gave me a blank look before looking back at Scott.

"Is she giving you a second chance, of...?"

Scott was still dazed.

"Yeah"

Stiles is excited on Scott's behalf.

"Yeah? All right! So, everything's good?"

Scott shakes his head weakly.

"No"

I looked up confused.

Stiles and I looked at each other before looking at Scott.

"No...?*

Scott starts to come out of his dazed state.

"Remember...the hunters? Her dad is one of 'en?"

Stiles gapes at Scott in shock while I looked in shock.

"Her dad--"

Scott ignores Stiles and continues to speak.

"--shot me--"

I asked, "Allison's father?"

I was worried. If they hunted werewolves, who knows what else they could hunt.

"--with a crossbow."

Stiles was flabbergasted. He repeats what I said with dramatics.

"Allison's father?"

Scott officially snaps out of his daze.

"Yes! Her father!"

He saw Stiles and I were just as shocked.

"Oh my God--"

Stiles and I try to snap Scott back from him freaking out.

"No, Scott! Snap back!"

"You okay?" I asked.

Scott nods. Stiles sighs in relief.

"Hey, all right? He didn't recognize you, right?"

Scott thinks for a moment before slowly responding.

"No...N-No, I don't think so..."

I asked, "Does she know about him?"

"Oh yeah, I don't know! What if she does? This is gonna kill me--"

Stiles forces Scott to look at him. He spoke to Scott in a reassuring voice.

"Okay, just focus on lacrosse, okay?"

Stiles picks up the gear and thrusts it in Scott's hands.
