The Choice ( A Teen Wolf Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

        I'm walking past the BHHS stone and heading towards the main doors of the school . With every little step I make I hear a little giggle.  I would turn around to see no one there and no one laughing. Someone is clearly watching me.  As soon as I take my first steps on the stairs Lydia Martin and Malia Tate, my best friends,  jump on me scaring the crap out me. We all fall ending up on the grass squealing and laughing together.

       "I missed you so much Mel!" Lydia says while giving me a hug. "So how was your summer?" Malia asked. "Wonderful! I had the best time in Malibu!" I replied, "How were both your summers?" "Not really exciting. I mostly stayed home with my dad, watched Netflix, and spent time with Stiles," Malia responded. Malia was dating Scott's best friend ,Stiles Stilinski, and I think things are going well now. Before Malia, Stiles had this huge crush on Lydia since the 4th grade and since, Malia it looks like he moved on. But now it looks Lydia has feeling for Stiles but hiding it. "What about you Lydia?" I questioned. " I stayed at the lake house and went to the mall. You know the mall is like a second home to me," said laughs Lydia. She owns a huge lake house in Beacon Hills  which her mom, Mrs. Martin inherited from Lydia's late grandmother.

     After that little chat with my friends, the bell rings and we quickly get off the grass and run inside to pack for our classes. As I'm running I accidentally bump into someone so familiar. "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING NEXT TIME!" I turn back and yell. The guy stops and looks and me. This guy was so tall, probably 5'10", had very muscular arms and had a tattoo with two black rings. As soon as I saw the tattoo I realized who I just yelled at.The one. The only.......Scott McCall.

        "Damn Melanie that's a bit harsh," Scott says. "Oh my god I'm so sorry Scott I wouldn't have said that if I knew it was you!" I exclaimed with sincerity. "It's okay Mel don't worry it was an accident," Scott said. I really felt bad saying that. I was hoping to talk to Scott today but not like this. " So how was your summer?" I say trying to forget about that incident. "It was fine I guess. It would've been better if you stayed here in Beacon Hills," Scott says sighing. "I know I'm sorry but I needed sometime to myself this summer," I say. Scott replies," Yeah I know can we talk privately about his later? I have to get to class." I wasn't sure what to say but I knew we needed to each do some explaining to do. "Okay," I say unsure. "Okay great! Meet me after school at the Cliff at 4:15," Scott says enthusiastically with a smile. The Cliff was a special spot for the two of us. We would sit on a blanket and talk for hours and hours and watch the moon rise. We parted our separate  ways and headed to our classes.

        First period I had was History with Mr. Yukimura. Lydia, CeCe, and Stiles all ended up in the same class as me so we sat as a group. Surprisingly Kiera Yukimara, my best friend and Mr. Yukimara's daughter, came late to class and she's never late. I turn to Lydia on my right and mouth, "What happened?" Before she got a chance to respond Mr. Yukimara interrupts her and questions, "Kiera why are you late to class today?" "I was on my way to class when I ran into Scott and I accidentally dropped all of his books so I picked them up for him," Kiera says looking nervously at me. Before I came in the middle of junior year, Scott and Kiera were dating but broke up. I never questioned why but I don't want to be that over protective girlfriend. Her father looks at her suspiciously and says, "Okay take a seat." As Kiera takes the seat behind me, Mr. Yukimara continues on teaching history.

     Finally the bell rings ending first period. I was dying of boredom in history. I would rather be training with my father than be in that class. As I'm walking through the hallway, Stiles runs after me trying to catch his breath. "Hey can I ask you a quick question?" asks Stiles. "If this involves Scott I'm not interested," I say firmly. Stiles looks at me with disbelief and replies, " PSHHH OF COURSE NOT!"  Lydia  and Kiera comes up right behinds us and Kiera backs me up saying, " Everything you ask always involves Scott." "It's true bro sorry," Scott says coming out of nowhere. I look at Stiles and say, "See, even Scott agrees with us," I say chuckling. "Okay fine it was about Scott. Well I gotta go to algebra see ya later," Stiles say leaving the group. Scott looks at me and asks, "Sorry about that. You know typical Stiles trying to find information like his dad." Stiles's dad is the Beacon Hills County Sheriff and he caught on with the investigation skills. "So what's your next period?" Scott asked. I shuffle around to find my iPhone with my school schedule as the lock screen. "I have...AP Biology," I reply back. "Okay great I'll be walking with you then," Scott says enthusiastically. The one thing I had in common with Scott was that we both had a major interest in animals. He currently works at the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic and wants to become a veterinarian while I want to become a marine biologist. But why does he wanna walk me to class? I WANT SPACE GODDAMMIT!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"Oh it's okay I'll be fine on my own, but thanks," I say trying not to say it in a rude way. "And she won't be by herself because Kiera and I have the same class too," Lydia says trying to help me. "Oh I meant that I will actually be walking with you to class. I have AP Bio too!" says Scott. WAIT WHAT!?! Scott wasn't the smartest person but how'd he get into this class. Kiera looks at me with an unsure face. "Are you sure you have AP Bio?" Kiera questions. "Yep it says it right here on my schedule," Scott says while showing it to us. As we're about to enter the room Scott asks, "Melanie you wanna sit next to me?" I don't want to be rude so I just nod. We sit in the second row to the left and I sit on Scott's left.  Kiera and Lydia sit in the table behind us and I turn my head and mouth "help me."

    As class starts, our bio teacher starts us off with a question that I had no idea what the answer was. Only two students raised there hand. Obviously one of them was Lydia since she's the smartest student in the whole entire school. But surprisingly the other one was Scott. Even the teacher looked stunned and thought he had to use the bathroom. Once she chose him he actually got the answer right. Everyone in the room including me stared at him with disbelief.  Later on we continue the rest of the period reading from the textbook. Instead of paying attention like the rest of the class I ended up gazing at Scott the whole time. I'm lost in my thoughts and ended up chewing on my pen. It was as if time had stopped and it was only Scott and I in the world. I'm startled, awakening me from daydreaming, once the bell rings ending the period. I pack my things into my bag and walk out the door saying bye to my friends.

     I continue following my schedule and I luckily had a free period. Using that free time I went to the new renovated library to do some homework so I won't have to do it later. About 20 minutes later I finally finished everything and immediately got bored. I had about 25 minutes to spare so I decided to do some research about my family. I got up from the table I was sitting in and searched for the French history aisle. Fortunately I found a book around the time when my family began their movement. My parent's told me very little about this but they told me that I will someday discover it on my own. I lean against the shelf reading carefully through the pages and begin to fully understand now. Just as I was about to finish reading, my lunch bell rings. 

    I check out the book and head to the lunch room. The lunch menu is the same as usual. I grab a cheese burger with a small french fries box with an apple and a mango Arizona.  Since it was a nice day outside I took a seat outside on a large table expecting that the squad would all come soon.  I started unwrapping the wrapper off the burger and Lydia and Kiera walk over to me and sit down. "Hey Mel," Lydia said. "Hey," I responded. The three of us ended up talking about our classes and soon Malia joined us. "So Melanie why did you go to Malibu the summer?" Malia asked. I want to tell them the truth and be honest but I don't want to endanger my friends. "Oh I just went to visit my family down south and to have some alone time," I lie. "Huh, does this have to do with anything with Scott?" Lydia replies. "Um maybe a little. I just wanted some space for a bit," I say. "Oh okay. You should've just said so to us instead of hiding it. We're your friends Melanie," Kiera says sincerely. "Yea I know. Maybe next time all of during spring break we all go on a trip somewhere. How about that?" saying enthusiastically. " OH MY GOSH THAT'S A GREAT IDEA AND I THINK I KNOW THE PERFECT PLACE!!!" Lydia exclaims. Stiles, Scott, and our friend Liam Dunbar and his best friend Mason join us in our conversation with this trip. Good thing I got them out of the conversation about my summer. They wouldn't understand.
