Nothing Personal [Teen Wolf (TV) Fanfic]

Part B: Meet the Beta

After School

Dark grey clouds loomed over her head, precipitation threatening Madison’s sunny outlook. She sighed in annoyance and focused on the rambunctious boys yelling to each other from each end of the field. She sat isolated at the end of the bleachers away from the giggling girls squealing over the latest gossip and pulled out her phone, checking over her text messages. She composed a quick message, adding ‘TABI’ as the receiver, and typed in bold letters, not so nicely telling her to hurry up. Immediately after she sent that one, she skimmed over a message Cecelia had sent her, along with Katherine and Lucas.

From her peripheral vision she spotted Stiles’ hand shoot up and wave at her direction. Kindly she waved back and his attention was redirected at the angry coach who demanded he rejoin the group of huddled guys.

A distant engine caught her sensitive hearing and she spun her head around, stretching her neck towards the left, next to the parking lot where a pepper red sports car spun into the vacant lot and park swiftly close to the field’s protective chain link fence. A small girl stepped out of the driver’s seat, locked the car from a few feet away, stopped for a second, waiting for a loud beep to verify her car was indeed safe, and continued to walk closer to the bleacher’s entrance. Loud footsteps bounced off the metal and Madison stared intently at the bleacher’s opening, her eyes livid and frustrated.

“What took you so long?” Madison snarled as a new figure approached her. The two sat on the very edge of the bleachers while the boys warmed up with push-ups on the wet field. The new presence rolled her unique emerald eyes and plopped down beside Madison’s tense body. “Tabitha!”

“Calm down,” Tabitha calmly replied, breathing out heavily before leaning against the next row of seats. Opposite of Madison, Tabitha possessed a much smoother blend of looks, with a perfect golden complexion and natural maple brown locks, cut shorter than Madison’s, only two inches below her shoulders but easily tied up in a short pony tail that brushed against her back. Her face was creamy and smooth with a focus point of dark green eyes, curtained under exotic blackened lashes. Her nose was much larger compared to Madison’s defined looks with plumper pink lips and a beauty mark above lips, right outside the area of natural cherry blush dusted over her cheeks. Her eyebrows weren’t as sharply angled and closer to her eyes than Madison’s.

And while Madison was sharply dressed in strict attire, Tabitha was casually but attractively dressed in dark-washed boot cut designer jeans and a loose one-shoulder brightly colored, neon yellow tee that hid her athletic torso but pronounced her womanly curves that Madison was secretly envious of. Her feet were adorned by expensive, eccentric red and orange Nike basketball shoes. Tabitha was the perfect sports model.

“What took you so long?” Madison demanded again.

“Well Aubrey,” Tabitha sarcastically started, rolling her wide, feminine eyes, “I was way out in Wicca Heights, seeing it’s my mom’s weekend.  It’s going to take me a while to get from there to here, especially seeing as I had just gotten home. Thanks for the warning by the way,” she finished, still using sarcasm all the way. Madison rolled her eyes. Tabitha was probably the most vocal of her pack but also the slyest. She didn’t know what quality overlooked the other. “At least I’m here now. What did you need?”
