CHAPTER TEN

It had been a few days since any new revelations in the current drama that surrounded the group of teenagers, letting them relax before their big cross country meet tomorrow.

Charlotte lays against Stiles bed on her stomach, watching as him and Scott are exploring ideas of what she could possibly be, the girl not being of much help.

Stiles sticks another option to his crime board, that's been cleared to help the research. "A dragon, Stiles? you're kidding right?" Charlotte scoffs, Stiles glaring at her over his shoulder.

"We have no leads okay? I'm just expounding our options." He snips.

"She kinda has a point." Scott adds, dragging his hand along his chin. They had been there for quite awhile at this point, yet the board was fairly empty.

Charlotte stands and stares at the board, ripping the picture off before sitting back down. "I know we're stumped as of late but let's not be ridiculous." She quips.

"What about this one?" Scott offers, pointing to "nymphs" that sits near the center. "It's a pretty viable option.. But usually they're nature related." Stiles sighs.

"No I know but... maybe fire counts? It's an element." Scott says, turning and looking at the two, waiting for their opinion. "I don't know, it seems to make the most sense but... you'd think we'd find information on fire nymphs even existing." Charlotte sighs, "And Nymphs are strictly nature like the forests and water, not elements."

"I mean Scott is right, just because we can't find evidence doesn't mean they don't exist...." Stiles adds. The girl looks at Stiles, watching the gears turn in his head, drumming his fingers on the side of his arm.

Charlotte lets out a long sigh, running her hands through her hair. "I think we should table this for another time."

Stiles shakes his head. "No, no, we're so close I can feel it." he argues, waving his hands around in the air, frustrated. Scott also sighs next to both of them, clearly agreeing with Charlotte. "She's right Stiles, we need to take a break for now."

Stiles shakes his head again harder. "There has to be something we're missing okay? we can't give up now." He yells, Scott and Charlotte sharing a look. "We're not giving up Stiles, we're just... stopping momentarily." Charlotte says, grabbing her things. "Plus I promised Allison I'd help her study."

Stiles swings his head around, Scott eyes still trained on the board. "You're leaving?" He asks, eyebrows shooting up. "Yes Stiles, I have better things to do than follow a loose end we aren't close to tying, you should too." Charlie quips, opening his bedroom door and walking out. "Plus, we have way more important matters at hand."

The two boys watch her leave, Stiles looking annoyed while Scott snickers next to him. "You know, I'm starting to like her." Scott laughs, turning back to the board as Stiles rolls his eyes.

Charlotte knocked gently on the Argent household door, taking a few steps back to admire it as she waited for Allison to answer, and it's safe to say the house was gorgeous – and huge.

As the girl strained her neck staring at the second floor, the front door flew open, Allison standing in its entrance expectingly. "Hey Charlie" The brunette smiles. "Sorry I took so long, I forgot my parents are gone."

Charlie chuckles and bows her head lightly. "No problem, I was just admiring your house." The girl beams, walking through its entrance into the main foyer, Allison swinging the door closed again.

"Why thank you, I wish I could take credit but it was like this when we got it." Allison chuckles, walking up the stairs, Charlotte following her. "Still beautiful." She chimes from behind Allison.

As they walk, Charlie is even more mesmerizing by the inside, the decorations are classy and the main staircase frames the opening of the house perfectly. Allison's room was just the same, it was very her and big just like the rest of the house.

"So, what do we study first?" Charlie asks, setting her things down on Allison's desk. Allison gets comfortable on her bed and pulls out her notebook, smiling gently at the other girl, welcoming her to sit with her. "Definitely math, it's the only subject I struggle in." She laughs, flipping through the pages of her notebook. "Sounds good." Charlotte Smiles, joining her on the bed.

-✵-

"Not a single one?" Allison laughs, gawking at the girl next to her.

The two teenage girls had long since abandoned studying, after the first hour, they both grew bored, and instead turned to gossiping. Charlotte laughs at her statement and shakes her head. "I know we've only been in school for a couple weeks but you haven't seen a single boy you think is cute? Allison laughs again, Charlotte rolling her eyes.

If she were being honest, she did think a particular guy was cute, but now she thinks he's more annoying than anything else, but that's not something she'd admit to anyone. "What about you Allison? Any boys striker your fancy?" Charlotte asks, changing the subject.

The girl shrugs. "Not really, at least not since me and Scott broke up." Allison sighs, rolling over so she's on her back, laying next to Charlotte. "I mean he's great, but I don't think we'd ever get back together."

"I'm sorry." Charlie sighs, propping her head on her hands. "No don't be, we're friends now, that's all in the past." Allison nods, glancing back at Charlotte.

The two fall into a comfortable silence, before Allison speaks up again. "So you're not interested in Stiles." Allison asks, looking at Charlotte hesitantly. Charlottes mouth falls open and she shoots Allison a look "What? What gave you that impression?" She gawks, turning to face her.

"I don't know, I guess you guys have gotten close recently, and that night at the bank? He was so worried." Allison shrugs. Charlie rolls her eyes and scoffs "Oh please, he thought I was being stupid."

Allison shakes her head. "Maybe, or maybe he cares."

Charlie rolls her eyes again, shaking her head. "You're insane."

"And you're incredibly stubborn." Allison laughs, pointing her finger at Charlie. "Can we move on please? Me and Stiles are friends, that's it."

"Sure Charlie, sure."
