Scalia- The one

16

When Scott's motorbike drove through the school gates, Malia's arms wrapped tightly around him and her head resting on his back, there was still 20 minutes before registration began. He was usually quite early in the mornings as he didn't take the slow school bus like most of the other students. But another person that was always early he remembered with a sigh, was Allison.

Scott noticed her immediately. She was sitting on a bench near the school doors with Lydia Martin, her best friend. Malia followed Scott's gaze and raised an eyebrow.
"So that's Allison, huh?" Malia said as she slid from the motorbike and pulled his helmet over her head. She had growled when Scott offered her the helmet but put it on anyway.
Scott nodded, going over what he was going to say to her in his head. He knew that he owed her some sort of apology and she deserved to know about Malia as well. Taking a deep breath, he walked over to the bench.

Lydia was the first to look up from the bench when he reached them, more of a glare than a look. They'd both been looking down at Allison's phone giggling. Lydia nudged Allison and Allison looked up too.

"Hi Scott." She said tightly.

"Hi." He replied shortly, sliding his hands into his pockets. Allison just looked at him.

"Umm... can we talk?" Scott asked, cutting the awkward silence.

Allison nodded, quickly murmured something to Lydia and stood up. She walked over to a tree that was around the side of the school and Scott silently followed. They both stopped at the tree and Scott turned to Allison.

"Allison I-" Scott began but he didn't finish because Allison had brought her hand up to his face and slapped him, hard.

That had done it for Malia. She'd been standing by the bike shelter because she knew she shouldn't involve herself in Scott's love life, even if she was a part of it, and watched Scott go over to Allison and another girl.

It had taken everything she had in her to not follow them when Allison lead Scott to a secluded area she couldn't view from her position. Yes, she trusted Scott but certainly not this Allison girl. But despite her urge, she'd stayed put and listened instead. But when she had heard Scott's words cut off abruptly by a sharp slapping noise and a groan of pain, her heart lurched and she practically sprinted to where they had disappeared to just a few seconds before. She knew people were watching her but she didn't care.

When she came to the large tree where both Scott and Allison were standing, she stopped a few yards away. Allison was cursing vibrantly at him, too engrossed in her shouting to notice Malia. But Scott had seen her. He turned his head to her, revealing a fire-red mark on his cheek. That did it for Malia. That sent her over the edge. Feeling her claws spring from her usually blunt nails, she stalked towards Allison. Allison's facial expression went from angry to annoyed when she saw Malia.

"Who the fuck-" Allison began at Malia but Malia had already brought her claws up to Allison's face.

Scott knew immediately when he saw Malia that things could only get worse from here, especially when Scott had seen the expression on Malia's face. She was angry. Not just angry though. Something more, something animal like. Like a wolf.

 So when Scott had seen Malia's claws spring from her nails and her eyes turn a fluorescent blue, he knew he had to stop her. And he'd stopped her just in time because he'd caught Malia's wrist just as she'd brought her hand up to scrape Allison's face off.

~

Allison let out an unearthly scream and Malia growled. "Next time you won't be so lucky." Malia hissed as she shook her wrist free of Scott's grip. That was all Malia said as she turned and walked off.

Allison pressed her hands to her face and when she realised that Malia hadn't scratched her face off, her expression went from petrified to angry.

"So she's your little bitch now, huh?" Allison said, her voice dripping in disgust.

"She's not my 'bitch', she's my friend." Scott choked the last word out. He'd told himself he wasn't going to lie to Allison but something didn't feel right about telling her that he had something going on with the girl that had just tried to scratch her face off.

"Ah of course, the 'friend'." Allison said sarcastically. "Do you kiss all of your friends Scott?" Allison laughed at Scott's shocked expression. How could she possibly have known about his kiss with Malia? Scott thought to himself as his heart rate quickened.

"I-" 

"Save me your shit Scott." Allison said sharply. "Because I don't care. I don't care about your thing with that animal-" Scott clenched his fists. "And I haven't cared for a while."

"What do you mean you 'haven't cared for a while'?" Scott asked, slightly hurt.

Allison laughed bitterly. "Jackson was a way better kisser than you." 

Scott bent his eyebrows. "Jackson?!"

"You weren't the only one cheating Scott." Allison said and stalked off.
