New Girl in Town (Teen Wolf)

Chapter 9

That night, when Ashlyn was in bed, Scott texted her about what went down that night at the school. Apparently Scott had spent the whole day with Allison because it was her birthday. But they got in trouble by their parents when they got back to the school since Scott had to be there. Then someone screamed and people were running everywhere. Scott save Allison from getting hit by a car when he heard gun shots. Which came from Allison's dad. Everyone walked over to see that it was just a mountain lion, unlike the Alpha, which was what Scott thought. The worst part was that Scott didn't save Mr. Stilinski from getting hit by a car. Apparently he wasn't hurt too bad but Stiles was angry at him.

She woke up the next morning feeling tired. Walking towards her closet, she picked out some clothes for the day, since she showered yesterday. Ashlyn picked out a faded red t-shirt that was cut a little short so it showed Ashlyn's lower stomach a little bit. Then light blue skinny jeans with her black converse. Making her way to the bathroom, Ashlyn straightened her hair and put it up in a sloppy high pony tail. Her makeup was eyeliner on the bottom, light eyeshadow on the top then she put mascara on.

Once satisfied with her look, she went down to grab an apple then walked back upstairs. She got her stuff ready while munching on her apple. Her phone beeped the minute she threw her apple in the garbage. It was a text from Stiles saying he was outside. Ashlyn smiled, then went to brush her teeth and made her way downstairs.

Walking out to Stiles' jeep, she noticed he didn't look at peppy as he usually did. It was probably because of the situation with his dad. Ashlyn opened the door to his jeep with a smile and buckled herself in.

"Good morning."

"Morning." Stiles huffed then backed out of the driveway.

"How are you?" Ashlyn looked over at him.

"Oh, just dandy!" He said sarcastically.

"Don't get snippy with me." Ashlyn snapped.

"Sorry." Stiles grumbled and pulled into the school parking lot about 10 minutes after the conversation stopped.

Before Ashlyn was out of the car, Stiles was already opening the door for her. She smiled at him and got out.

"I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just my dad -" Stiles looked at Ashlyn with a sad face.

"Scott told me." Ashlyn nodded. "It's okay."

He smiled slightly then he and Ashlyn made their way to class where Scott was already there. Stiles took his seat in front of him and Ashlyn sat next to Stiles.

"Still not talking to me?" Scott spoke up after a few minutes. "Okay, can you at least tell me if your dad's okay? It's just a bruise, right? Some soft tissue damage?" Stiles still didn't flinch. "Nothin' that big - you know I feel really bad about it, right?" Still no response. "Okay. What If I told you that I'm trying to figure this whole thing out, and - that I went to Derek for help?" Stiles huffed. "Ashlyn? Could you help me?" Scott asked.

Ashlyn looked from Stiles to Scott and smirked. "Sorry, I don't think I can."

"If I was talking to you, I'd say that you're an idiot for trusting him. But obviously I'm not talking to you." Stiles snapped.

Ashlyn looked at Stiles out of the corner of her eye and saw him fidgiting in his seat. Ashlyn giggled quietly at the sight, she knew Stiles wanted to say something and it was only a matter of time before he did. And just like that, he did.

"What did he say?" He whipped around and Scott smiled wide.

"Wh - he wants you to tap into your animal side and get angry?" Stiles asked as he, Ashlyn, and Scott walked out of the classroom.
