Slightly Reminiscent (Slightly Awkward Series / Book Six / Teen Wolf)

CHAPTER TWO---superposition

Scott and I were practicing lacrosse at the school after dark one night.

Scott looked as if he sensed something. "Did you feel that?"

"Feel what?" I asked.

"Thought I heard something," Scott answered. "Forget it. All right, let's keep going."

"Or we could call it," I told him. "Now that Kira's gone, I'm the only girl on the lacrosse team, but that does not mean that I want it to overrule by life. I don't have anything to prove to the guys."

"Right, you don't," Scott agreed. "But we gotta work on your back shots."

"Why?" I asked.

Scott chuckled. "Stacie, they suck."

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Your back shots," Scott answered. "Which suck." I gave Scott a confused look, spinning the lacrosse stick in my hand, picking up a ball, making a perfect back shot over my shoulder into the goal, then another, then another, and another. Scott frowned in confusion. "I must've been thinking of someone else."

I nodded sarcastically. "Yeah. Is Liam still gonna be team captain after we graduate?"

"Yeah, he's planning on it," Scott answered. "Mason, Liam and Cory are inside working on a lab, but they'll be practicing lacrosse soon."

The lights around the lacrosse field turned off.

I sighed. "Well, guess we have to go now. Don't know about you, Scott, but not everyone's a werewolf that can see in the dark."

Scott chuckled. "All right. You need lift home?"

"No, I'm good," I answered. "I brought my car. My mom got it for me on my birthday."

We packed up our things, about to go.

"Are you still obsessing over what happened the other day?" Scott asked.

"People are disappearing, and people are being erased from our minds," I told him. "Of course I'm still obsessing over it. It feels personal for some reason. And I'm gonna figure out why." Scott stopped walking, sensing something. "What's wrong?"

"Something's happening inside," Scott answered, running inside.

I ran after him.

We ran into the library, where Mason, Liam and Cory were.

"They were here," Liam told us, breathing heavily. "The ghost riders."

"Here?" I asked. "Just now?"

"I thought they left when the storm left," Scott told us.

  "I guess not, because two of them were right up there," Mason told us, pointing up to the balcony of the library. "We didn't see when they came in. Cory and I only saw them when we turned invisible."

Liam gave Cory a look. "Yeah, you brought him into this."

"He was trying to protect me," Mason told us. 

"Uh, they didn't seem to care about us," Cory told us. "They walked right by us."

"Then what happened?" I asked.

Mason and Cory were trying to remember, but they couldn't remember the full story.

"Uh, then they just jumped down and left," Mason told us.

I wasn't convinced. "That's it?"

Cory nodded. "Yeah."

 "They didn't take someone?" I asked. "There was nobody else in here?"
