Teen Ascendants 👑 S.S.

Tattoo part 2

The class was silent as they took down the notes that their new teacher Ms. Blake was putting down for Heart of Darkness. Allison went and handed Scott a note from ahead of him. He took it and opened it up to see that she was asking if they could talk. Scott was writing his reply when Principal Thomas came in and said some words to Ms. Blake.

"Mr. McCall?" she called out to him. Scott went over with his things and was told that his mother had called and asked that he come and see her at the hospital right away. Ms. Blake quietly escorted Scott from the classroom. "I'm sure that it's an emergency if your mother needs you to leave school, but I'm going to give you a warning. In the nicest possible way," she said quickly. "I'm well aware of your attendance record. I don't want to see you slip back into old habits."

Scott shook his head. "I won't," he assured her. "It's going to be different this year."

But Ms. Blake just shook her head. "Resolutions are only good if you stick with them Scott."

"I will," he said not losing a beat. "I promise it won't be ephemeral."

But back in the classroom, Stiles snorted but still narrowed his eyes. He had overheard everything that had been said. He wondered what was going on exactly that would have Scott's mom pull him out of class like this. Since she had never done anything like that before, he guessed that it was something werewolf related. Stiles let a breath loose as he looked over at the window for a moment. He didn't know why but he was sniffing. He was feeling a tingling feeling go up his spine as his eyes looked out into the distance. He then shook his head a bit to lose that feeling when his eyes went over to Lydia. She was calmly reading her notes with a smile on face. Stiles thought it was a nice look for her and way better than that airy expression that she always seemed to have last year. She didn't seem to be trying to not look as smart as she really was. It looked to him that resolutions were trending around lately.

But his eyes fell down and noticed that there seemed to be a scrape on the bottom of her leg, just above her foot. "Hey Lydia," he whispered to her and caused her to look at him. He pointed to her leg. "Is that from the accident?" He hadn't remembered Lydia being hurt. Freaked, yes, but not hurt.

"No, Prada bit me," she said to him before turning back to her work.

Stiles eyes narrowed. "Your dog?"

"No, my designer handbag," she said back sarcastically. Stiles just kept his narrowed gaze on her. Lydia saw that he seemed serious about this for some reason. "Yes my dog," she huffed out with a nod.

Something inside of Stiles didn't think this felt right. "Has it ever bitten you before?" Lydia shook her head. For some reason, that feeling Stiles had got worse. Last night, with that accident, something didn't stir well with Stiles. He thought it might've just been being around Allison again after so long but maybe it was more than that. Maybe his instincts were trying to tell him something. Tell him that the deer, and now Lydia's dog acting up were more serious than at first glance. "Lydia, you know how animals start acting weird before an earthquake happens or something?"

"Yeah, so?" Lydia said looking over at him. "You think there's going to be an earthquake?"

"Or something. Animals acting weird, that's happened before."

"When?" Lydia asked half-interested.

Stiles' stared back at her with a grim look on his face. "When Peter was on the loose." That made Lydia's eyes narrow a bit. Stiles remembered when Scott had run into those deer in the woods, the behavior of the animals in the preserve that his dad had found, and not to mention the mountain lion appearing in the parking lot. It was because of The Alpha prowling about. "Maybe the deer and the dog sense something's coming. Something bad."
