Chapter 18: Double Standards

*Scott*

The pack was standing around outside of the school discussing upcoming plans and tests. How we wanted to work through everything when a flashy sports car pulled into the lot. The bright red catching the entire student body's attention. We watched as Stiles, of all people, walked straight to the sports car. I glanced a the pack, everyone is confused. The second Stiles opened the car door, I was hit with the scent of a werewolf. An unfamiliar werewolf. We kicked him out and he runs to a new pack. To what? Get back at us? Send them to attack us? This little stunt right now was just a sad attempt to intimidate us. 

Are you sure that's what's going on Scott? He's your best friend. You don't really think he'd attack you for just kicking him out of the pack. Do you? 

Was my best friend. And of course, he would. Allison said that he is out to harm us. Throw us off our game so he can kill us. 

Scott...... I really don't think that's what is going on. Talk it out with Stiles. Without Allison, she's........

SHUT UP!

*Stiles*

Roscoe broke down first thing this morning. I barely got out of the driveway before she died. Dad has already gone to work and I'm already running late. I take out my phone and call Peter. Writing isn't going to be helpful right now. 

"Stiles... shouldn't you be at school right now?" 

"Roscoe died before I left the driveway."

"And you're calling for a ride?" 

"If it isn't any trouble. My dad's at work and Lydia is already at school." 

"Of course little one. I am also going to pick you up afterward." 

"Okay, see you soon." 

-------------------------------

Got to school just before the final bell rang. So narrowly missing getting detention. Today is a good thing. Makes it so that Peter doesn't have to wait until Harrison decides I can leave. 

"Stiles." Lydia hissed as we walked to our next class.

"Yeah?" 

"You were almost late." 

"Aware Lydia, thank you." 

"Why were you almost late?" 

"Roscoe died. Needed a ride." 

She didn't answer because one she knew the answer and two the other wolves in the halls were definitely listening in. They constantly are tuned into my conversations, probably the others as well, because even though I got kicked out apparently I'm also a threat. My removal from the pack caused a chain reaction and Scott, I'm sure, wants to make sure the four of us aren't planning world domination or something along the lines. 

---------------------------------------------------------------

It's the end of the day and I'm actually hanging out with Lydia, Aiden, Ethan, and Jackson while we wait for Peter. It's safe to say that they've become good friends of mine. I mean Lydia is practically my best friend. Sticking by my side the whole time, believing me. Even when she has every right to hate me. The Nogitsune made me almost kill her mate. That right there is grounds to never speak to me again. As you can see Scott's attempting that. Using that as his leverage when dealing with me. So why shouldn't she? Lydia said she didn't want to leave until Peter came just in case. In case, she had to take me home or if the McCall pack decides to do something stupid. 

Lydia slapped my arm causing me to leave my thoughts and look up as Peter's car pulls into the parking lot. Great, everyone's attention is on it and I have to walk to it. God damn it.  I quickly made my way to the car and hopped in. Once the door shut Peter peeled out of the parking lot. 

"Couldn't you've driven a less flashy car?" 

"You weren't complaining this morning." 

"This morning people weren't starring." 
"You mean Scott."

"Yes, I mean Scott." 

"You shouldn't worry what he thinks anymore, Stiles." 
"I know, but I can't help that right now. it's built into my anxiety reserved for the paranoia of the supernatural."

"God, we are so made for each other." Peter sight as he left the school in the rearview mirror. 

"The Goddess knew what she was doing." I agreed as my phone went off with a call from Scott. 

"Still think I'm worrying for nothing?" I huffed shaking my phone before answering. Knowing Peter can hear the entirety of the conversation. 

"My house at 8 o clock. DO NOT be late." 

"You don't get to order me around Scott. You're not my Alpha. I'm not a part of your pack.: 

"Well, when you are harboring a rogue wolf that's a threat to my pack. We're going to have to talk about it. 8 o clock Stiles." and with that, he hung up.
