Power

Chapter Seven

The next day, I was at school. Scott dragged me with him to talk to Coach Finstock.

"Why do I have to go with you? This is a conversation between you and him"

"Because you're his favorite student."

"I can't help that. I'm very likeable. Plus, I promised Brett I would watch his lacrosse practice today so-"

"It won't take long"

I groaned in frustration.

"Why do I associate myself with you and Stiles?"

"You love us"

"Eh"

We met with Coach Finstock and Scott told him he couldn't play on Saturday.

"What do you mean, you can't play the game tomorrow night?"

Scott stands there awkwardly while I stood there boredly.

"I mean...I can't play the game tomorrow night..."

Coach refuses to accept it as an answer. He sits on the edge of his desk.

"You can't wait to play the game tomorrow night?"

"No coach-- I can't play the game tomorrow night"

"...I'm not following"

"I'm having some...personal issues"

"Is it a girl? Is it June?"

"No"

"I have a boyfriend Coach. Speaking of which, can I go?"

"No. And no June"

"Is it a guy?"

Scott realized that it's not an easy task and rolls his eyes.

"You know, our goalie, Danny, is gay"

"Yes, I know, Coach, but that's not it"

"You don't think Danny's a good-looking guy?"

I grinned at Scott's flustered state.

"I...think he's good-looking. But I--I- I like girls"

Coach has successfully changed the subject. They started talking about drugs. I was bored with the conversation.

In the end, Scott was playing tomorrow night.

We left the boys locker room.

"Well...bye"

I left and headed to Devenford Prep.

When I arrived, I parked in an empty spot. I went to the lacrosse field.

"Well, hi, there. I'm Liam"

"June and I'm taken"

Brett walked over.

"Hey, you finally made it"

"Yeah, sorry, one of my friends was having an emotional meltdown."

He kissed me successfully shutting me up. My hands went to his neck.

There were cat calls and whistles.

"Just glad you made it"

I smiled.

I went and sat on the bleachers. I sat next to a girl.

"He really likes you"

"I'm sorry?"

"Brett. He talks about you a lot. I'm Lori, his sister"

"Hi, I'm June"

"Juniper Cullen to be exact"

I scowled at my fully name. She laughed.

"Yeah, he told me you hated your full name"

I smiled slightly.

"You make him happy"

"He makes me happy too"

We watched as they practiced.

It was after their lacrosse practice. I had to get back to school since my free period was almost over.

Brett walked me to my car.

"Thank you for coming"

"Any time. Beats dealing with Stiles"

He chuckled.

"Sure you don't want to skip? We could go do something?"

"I'm a straight A student. I have a record to keep"

"Okay, okay. So, I'll see you later?"

"Definitely"

He uses his werewolf strength and pinned me against my Jeep. He kissed me.

I used my vampire strength and spun us around. He was now pinned to the Jeep.

"Gotta get used to that"

I laughed.

He kissed me one last time before releasing me.

"See you later"

"Bye"

I got in the Jeep and began to drive back to school.
