09 ~ normal school day?

Talia Baker

My eyes began to flutter open when I heard voices near me.  Once my eyes were completely opened I saw Scott seating at the edge of his bed, talking to someone on the phone.  When he saw me up he hanged up and faced me.  "Good morning..."

I smiled at him, "Good morning to you too.  Who was that on that phone?"

"Deaton, he said how he had an appointment yesterday and when his client left, his dog was still there and his car but but the owner was no where to be found." He said.  "That's weird..." I replied.

"Come on." He patted my thigh.  "Have to get ready for school."  We both changed into different clothes, well I kinda just put on the jeans I wore yesterday and Scott let me wear one of his sweatshirts since my shirt was kinda dirty.

We exited his house and got on his bike, leaving for school.  I wrapped my arms around his lower torso area.  I tighten my grip around him as I felt myself drift to sleep.

When we arrived at school I turned off my bike's engine and I heard soft, gentle breathes.  I turned my head to see Talia's eyes closed, meaning she was asleep.  I gently shook my shoulder and I saw her eyes open.  "Did you really fall asleep on my bike?"

"I'm sorry." She apologized with a hint of blush on her face.  "I guess I'm more tired then I thought."

"We can go back to my place, we can skip school today and just relax." I suggested but she shook my head.  "I missed too many days already."

I hopped off my bike and helped her off.  I jumped when I felt someone pat my back and when I turned around to see a pissed off Stiles.  "Hey! Thanks for not answering my phone call last night.  I had extremely important news that I needed to tell you."

"Sorry man, last night was tiring so when me and Talia got to my place we instantly fell asleep." I explained and his eyes widen, "Wait...you two?  Slept together?  In the same bed?  Did you guys...." He started to clap his hands repeatedly.

Me and Talia's eyes nearly popped out of our head.  "No! No! No! No! We didn't have sex!" She nearly shouted at him, getting some of the other students attention.  After she noticed how loud she said that her cheeks started to turn a shade of pink of embarrassment. 

I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her close to me.  "Well what did you want to tell us?"

"Heather's dead..." He said, sadness in his voice.  "I'm sorry buddy..." I patted his back and he shook his head.  "But that's not it.  Heather, the dude from the pool, and the missing girl from the woods all died the same way.  They were both strangled, throats' slit and they were virgins.  I searched some stuff up and this type of murders are called, 'Threefold Death', they are human sacrifices."

"Sacrifices?  What kind of monster would sacrifice innocent teenagers?" Talia asked.  Stiles shrugged.  The school bell just rung and looked at them.  "Well let's head to class."

"Me and Stiles have gym so we better go." I told her.  "Okay." She stood up on her tip toes and kissed my cheek.  "I have band so see you later." Then she walked off.
