Chapter 3

SCOTT:

Why didn’t you come over yesterday!?!, c’mon I said I was sorry! Just forgive me already! Come over today please

I wonder would dad get angry at me if I hurled this phone against the wall,…Yeah doing that’s probably a death wish, I gripped the phone tightly in my hand and glared I knew that it was pointless to glare at an inanimate object. But maybe if I glare it enough Scott will feel my hate for him, sighing I put my phone on my desk jog, I need to go out for a jog and get rid of all this pent up frustration I stomped toward my closet anger oozing out of me darkening my usual cheery aura. Damn Scott! Ruing what could have been a perfect morning! I swear to god I’m going to kill him one of these days I ripped off my pj’s and dressed into a sweatshirt and jeans, my phone buzzed when I reached toward my beat up sneakers it better not be Scott again or I’m going to have to explain to dad why my phone is shattered into tiny pieces.

Jackson:

Morning!, sorry if I’m  waking you up I wanted to talk to you yesterday was fun we should do it again soon

I blinked, reading the message twice to make sure I haven’t gone insane, before smiling like a freaking school girl. When we swapped numbers I didn’t actually think he would text me a strange warmth filled my chest I never thought I would happy just by receiving a text from Jackson of all people, I tied on my sneakers and closed the door of my bedroom silently behind me my father’s soft snores filling the air for some reason he’s always exhausted around this time of the year. I tip-toed downstairs, thrusted the door open, and burst out into a sprint I was still steaming from Scott’s text even though Jackson did cheer me up a little, might as well take the long trail through the woods that should calm me down sighing i jogged (more like dashed) down the sidewalk toward the wooded area, My mind drifting off.

Why did Jackson try to cheer me up yesterday? And what the hell is Scotts problem anyway!?!,...now that i think about it he’s been a lot more weirder than usual, he’s kind of clingy now he gets mad whenever someone tries to talk to me. The last guy who tried to say hi to me ran off with his tail between his legs after receiving a death glare if looks could kill...I ducked under a tree branch the piece of wood a few inches from my face, leafs crunched underneath my feet the soothing sounds of nature thumping against my eardrums…unfortunately the animalistic growl that drifted from somewhere in the shrubs wasn’t apart the calming sounds of birds chirping and skittering animals. It’s one of those oh-shit-I’m-going-to-shit-my-pants noises the hairy bear-like creature that slithered from behind the trees, only a few feet from me almost made my pants turn brown.

Calm the fuck down Stiles!, they can smell your fear if you remain perfectly still it probably can’t see you, the beast let out growl yellow eyes watching me sharp rows of teeth bared ready to rip me to pieces. “Must…remain…perfectly still it won’t be able to see me” the beasts ears perked up dull eyes suddenly alert a piercing growl emanated from its lips okay it may not have been able to see but apparently it can hear me talking to myself, the beast let out one last roar before charging at me at a dead sprint on pure instinct I turned my body running away from it at full sprint it was only when I began to pant fear clutching deep into my gut did I mentally kick myself. Bear’s are faster than human! Damn it I’m such a dumbass! I could hear it panting behind me inching closer and closer I picked up the pace my heart pounding against my chest.

What did dad say about bears!?!,…Change directions! Don’t run straight!  Pivoting my foot I darted toward some bushes moving pushing the leaves aside, running zigzag as I did so I snuck a glance over my shoulder the bear was still hot on my tail. Moving easily through the thick shrubs what the hell do I have to do to get this thing off my tail!?! I shoved aside branches thorns cutting into my arms I pushed another branch away, a sob a fear leaving my lips only to skid to complete stop at the figure before me dirt flew everywhere. I halted my movements only a inches away from him if I didn’t stop  when I did I would have rammed into him, I panted turning around expecting the bear to jump out and freaking maul us to death but there was nothing all I saw was trees, trees, and more trees I turned back around to figure. To see green eyes stare at me “…What?” I asked trying to suck air into my lungs his lips curled into a smile he reached over and touch my cheek, his fingers soft almost gentle the simple gesture almost seemed…intimate he pulled back his hands revealing a small leaf “you had this on your face”.

I felt my cheeks heat up, “t-thank you” I stuttered wait stuttered? Why the hell am I stuttering? His smile widened, the action for some reason filled my stomach with warmth “you know you shouldn’t be out here alone things can happen” I quirked my brow is he talking about the bear? In that case he doesn’t have to tell me twice. “I’ll keep that in mind next time” if there ever was a next time he nodded approvingly his eyes suddenly shining with relief, we stood there in silence I tried to think of something to say but nothing came to mind finally I let out a exasperated sigh “well...I better get going” I walked past him accidently bumping into him causing my fingers to brush against his hand. Electricity shot up my arm curling around my spine my body shivered unconsciously.

I Shook my head, clearing my mind what the hell was that? “hey!” he called out on reflex i turned toward him, “what’s your name?” i quirked my brow why is he interested in my name? “Stiles...yours?” his lips turned into a full on grin. Revealing gleaming white teeth “Derek”.
