DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TEEN WOLF.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

We all had our mission, Allison was supposed to try to talk to Jackass, Stiles was on Lydia duty, Scott's goal was to focus on his make-up exam which left me with Danny. I saw him near his locker and tried to lean against it casually.

"Sup Danny-boy?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes.

"Charlie." He shoved his books in his locker and tried to ditch me, I fell in step beside him.

How was I going to go about this?

"Can I help you with something?" He asked giving me the stare reserved only for us Stilinksis'.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You're following me, I just figured I'd get to the point and save myself from the confusing rambling-"

"Danny I'm hurt! I thought we were friends, can't a friend just walk with another friend to class?" I asked clutching my heart.

Danny rolled his eyes.

"Friends can, you and your cousin... not so much." He retorted. "So are you telling me you really just tore yourself away from Lahey long enough to visit me or is there another motive?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, so there may be a tiny hidden agenda to this visit," I admitted sheepishly.

Danny waited for me to continue, I bit my lip.

"Do you know anything about what happened to Jacka-son's biological parents?" I said catching myself before I called him Jackass again.

Danny glared at me.

"Why do you want to know?"

"I want to help him with... something and I think a lot of his problems have to do with the fact that he's adopted."

"You want to help Jackson?" Danny didn't believe me. "The same Jackson you punched yesterday-"

"He had it coming!" I countered.

It probably was a bad idea to argue right now.

"The same Jackson, you refer to as Jackass all the time?"

"I'm trying to be a better person. Seriously, Danny, I'm not trying to screw with him alright? You know me better than that, public humiliation like that isn't exactly my cup of tea when it comes to revenge."

Danny sighed.

"I know, but I can't tell you-"

"Come on Danny! You owe me."

"How do I owe you? Your cousin and Scott still haven't got me my fake ID back from the last time they were "helping Jackson" Danny fumed.

"You used me as your beard and didn't tell me!"

"It was the fourth grade, for three periods and then you ditched me for Theo at lunch because he had double-stuffed Oreos," Danny said annoyed.

I shuddered at the memory, for all of fifteen minutes I had been "boyfriend/girlfriend" with Theo. Granted, it was all in the pursuit of food and I ditched him as soon as I got them, but still.

"Okay, but why can't you tell me?" I asked.

"Aside from the fact that I would be sharing a very private and personal bit of information about my best friend to someone who doesn't like him? I don't know." Danny said.

We kept walking in silence towards the cafeteria.

"Danny?"

"What?"
