New Girl in Town (Teen Wolf)

Chapter 8

Ashlyn's phone started vibrating on her bedside table later that night. She rolled over and looked at the clock, seeing that it was 2 in the morning. Ashlyn picked up her phone lazily and held it up to her face, squinting, she saw that it was Stiles who was calling. She decided to answer.

"Hello?" Ashlyn said, her voice quiet and groggy.

"Hey. Oh, my God. Did I wake you up?"

"No. Because I am usually awake at 2 in the morning." Ashlyn snapped. "What do you want, Stiles?"

"I was out with my dad earlier tonight eating dinner in his squad car and he was dispatched to the local movie store, Movie 2 C. When we got there, it seemed like there was a break in. So he got out and in the ambulance, I saw a very angry looking Jackson and a very shocked looking Lydia sitting in the back. I got out when I saw Jackson start to talk to my dad and as I did that, I saw that they were wheeling out a body from the movie store. So that's another dead body." Stiles paused to take a breath, waiting for Ashlyn's reply.

"Okay. Well, that's a real shame. You can tell me more about it tomorrow. I'm going back to bed. Night, Stiles." Ashlyn couldn't really comprehend what he was saying, she just wanted to go back to bed.

"No! Wait!" Stiles called.

Ashlyn then pressed the end call button and turned her phone on silent. She turned over and fell asleep again.

Ashlyn and Stiles were sitting and Chemistry the next morning. Ashlyn was sitting next to Danny and Stiles was sitting behind them. It was starting to get really hard for Ashlyn to stay awake.

"Just a friendly reminder - Parent/teacher conferences tonight. Students below a 'C' average are required to attend. I won't name you, because the shame and self - disgust should be more than enough punishment." Harris was walking around the classroom and stopped next to Stiles and Ashlyn, looking at them. "Has anyone seen Scott McCall?"

All of a sudden, the door opened, Ashlyn was expecting it to be Scott but nope, it was Jackson. Harris walked over to him and whispered something to him then patted his back.

"Everyone, start reading Chapter Nine." Harris walked up to the chalkboard. "Mr. Stilinski. Try putting the highlighter down between paragraphs. It's Chemistry, not a coloring book."

Ashlyn smirked and looked back to see Stiles spit the highlighter cap in the air and catch it.

"Hey, Danny. Can I ask you a question?" Stiles leaned forward.

"No." Danny rolled his eyes, Ashlyn giggled.

"Well, I'm going to anyway. Um, did Lydia show up in your homeroom today?"

"No."

"Can I ask you another question?"

"Answer's still no." Danny sassed.

"Does anyone know what happened to her and Jackson last night?"

"He wouldn't - tell me."

"But he's your best friend." Stiles said, Danny shrugged his shoulders. "One more question."

"What?!" Danny yelled.

"Do you find me attractive?"

Danny scrunched his eyebrows together and Ashlyn looked back at Stiles with wide eyes. Only to see Stiles fall forward on his stool, she laughed super hard.

"Finally! Have you been getting any of my texts?" Stiles yelled into the phone, after trying all morning to contact Scott, Stiles finally got a hold of him and put him on speaker. Ashlyn was following and dragging her feet.
