Hypervigilance {Stiles Stilinski Book Three}

Chapter 6

"Do you think that I'm still team captain?" Scott asks. "Of course you're still team captain. You got your grades up just like Coach told you to right?" Stiles questions.

"Yeah, but he never told me I was back on the team. He just told me to show up at tryouts today." Scott states. "We got bigger things to deal with anyway. Did you tell Argent yet?" Stiles asks. "I texted him but he didn't get back to me." Scott answers.

"You told him his sister Kate came back from the dead over a text?" I question. "I didn't have the money to call France." Scott explains. "Yeah, you think you got money problems? Try paying for an MRI and a visit to Eichen house." Stiles says.

"Another notice?" Scott asks. "Yeah and this one said final." Stiles states. "I've told both of us this before, if you need money just ask." I say. "No." Stiles replies. "Why not? It's not like the dead Lockwoods are using it. There's more than enough to pay your bills." I argue.

"It's a point of pride. Now what the hell are we even doing here anyway? We got like 117 million problems and worrying about our status on the lacrosse team is not one of them." Stiles says. "It is now." Scott states cocking his head on the direction of the kid in the goal.

He catches every ball that is thrown at him. "Who the hell is that?" Stiles questions. "Someone who actually has some skill." I state. "Okay, maybe we should just practice a little bit." Stiles says. "I don't need to. My place on the team is cemented by the fact I'm the only girl." I gloat.

"Is it that or is it that you cheat?" Scott questions. "I use what I have." I state. "And what you have is super speed, strength, and agility." Stiles says. "I died for it so I'll use it if I damn want to." I defend. They both sigh in annoyance knowing I'm right.

"I don't like him. I think we should talk to him, see what his deal is." Stiles states. "I want no part in it. This is about the time where you end up making yourself look like a complete idiot." I state. "You're probably right. Scotty you in?" Stiles asks.

"Oh yeah." Scott responds. Stiles and Scott go to talk to Liam in the locker room. I go to Math class a little early to get a start on the homework. Math is the subject I despise, but try hard in anyway because I have to.

Malia is the only one who shares my hatred for Math. Speaking of Malia, I see her being guided through the door by Stiles. "I hate Math. It's pointless." Malia states. "I feel you." I say. Stiles sends me a glare.

"It's school. School is important, and Math is essential." Stiles says. "To what?" Malia questions. "Knowing how much to tip at restaurants." Stiles answers. "And other less important things like medicine, economics, engineering." Lydia interjects. "Tipping." Stiles repeats.

"Alright, volunteers to the board. Lydia, Diego, Malia." The teacher states. "Um I didn't volunteer." Malia argues. "You did now." She replies. Stiles shoots her a thumbs up and she growls at him. He sinks back into his seat.

I can tell that she is having problems because her heart is beating faster, and I see claws. "That's not promising." I whisper to Stiles. "Not at all." Stiles responds. His phone beeps and his eyebrows furrow. "What is it?" I ask.

He shows me his phone and it's an alert for a triple homicide. After class we go to discuss it with Kira and Scott. "An axe murderer?" Kira questions. "A family murdering axe murderer." Stiles corrects. "I already heard about it." Scott states.

"Wait. You did? How?" Stiles asks. "My mom called me. She knew we'd see it on the news." Scott answers. "Perfect. Let's go." Stiles says. "Go where? This doesn't exactly scream supernatural murder." I state. "We've got Econ in five minutes." Scott agrees.
