Monsters

~THREE~

I look at Ethan and Aiden. They walk over to me in the library. Danny is with them. "Hey. What's up you guys," I say.

They all sit. I look around and see Lydia and Allison staring. I smile and look back at Ethan and Danny. "So Danny, do you know how well the cross country team is?" I ask.

"It's alright. All the lacrosse players are required to do it. So we don't get out of shape," Danny answers.

"Who's the Coach?" I ask.

"Coach."

"Well I gotta ask him a few questions anyway. I'll see you guys later," I say.

"Come on. We sat here to be by you Alex" Aiden says.

"Oh because it's totally not like I have 5 bedrooms and you don't use one," I say sarcastically. As I grab my books. "See you in English."

I hurry and leave the library. "Alex" someone calls. I see that is was Lydia.

"How do you know Ethan and Aiden?" She asks.

"They're my friends. I actually have to go do something. If you want you two can come to my place and study sometime and I'll tell you," I answer. I start walking backwards then turn around when I'm done talking.

I head over to Coach's room. "Hey Coach, I was told you were the coach of the cross country team. I was wondering where to sign up," I explain.

"Are you good at running?" He asks.

"5 minute miles."

He reaches opens a drawer and pulls a paper out. "Here you go. You better not be lying," he says.

"I guess you'll have to wait and see if I am," I say. I pull out my homework for Intro. to business and put it on the desk. "I know it's not due till tomorrow but I had some free time."

"I gave out this homework today," he says.

"I know. I got accepted into Oxford University. So I'm making sure they don't regret it," I reply. "I'll have these filled out by the end of the day."

Then I head back to the library. I go out to one of the tables. Someone sits down by me. It's Stiles and some other dude. "Hey Stiles," I say.

"Hey Alex. This is Scott," he says.

"Nice to meet you," I say. I offer to shake his hand. Scott seems quite suspicious. It feels like I know him from somewhere. Like we've met before.

"Have we met?" He asks.

I look at him more curiously. "I don't know. I have the feeling that I've met you before," I answer. "Not likely because I've only been to Beacon Hills a couple times."

I look at him. "I only met this guy named Derek when I was younger," I say.

"Derek Hale?" Stiles asks.

How the hell do they know everyone? I look at then. I know he is alive. Didn't know he was dumb enough to stay. "You guys know everyone," I say.

"We can take you over there to meet him," Scott offers.

"I doubt he'd remember me," I say.

"Well let's see." Stiles pulls out his phone. Damn it. I don't want them to know who my father is. It's weird. I don't remember what my mom was like.

"Alex what is your last name?" Stiles asks.

"Silverwind."

Stiles types it down. "That's a cool last name," he says.

"Thanks."

We hear a ding. Stiles looks at me. "He remembers you. Do you want to go see him?" He asks.

I shake my head. "He might think something of me that isn't necessarily true. If we were meant to meet up it will happen," I answer.

I go back to writing. I'm writing a story. One that would make a good movie one day.

"Alex," father says. "I would like you to come with me tonight."

"Dad I would love too but I still have
