Uniquely Normal

Co-Captain

Stiles and I ran through the school looking for the locker room. It was really dark out seeing that the lacrosse game was over. We found it and ran in, slamming the door into the wall.

We found Scott sitting against the shower wall with sweat all over his body.

"Dude, we have a huge problem." Stiles said, trying to catch his breath.

"Trust me," Scott looked up at us. "I know."

It was Saturday. I was planning on sleeping in when I got a call from Scott telling me that he and Stiles were on their way to pick me up, saying it was an emergency.

I got dressed and walked out of my house to see the familiar blue Jeep that I've been in hundred of times. I got into the back and leaned forward so that I was positioned between the two boys.

"What is so urgent that you had to take away my Saturday sleep-in time?" I asked with a hint of annoyance laced in my voice.

"Jackson." Was all they said before they sped off to who knows where.

•••
We found him in an almost vacant parking lot talking with Mr. Argent.

"Why is Allison's Dad here?" I asked.

Neither of them answered as we pulled up in front of the two men.

"What's up?" Stiles called through the window.

"Everything okay?" Scott asked, suggesting this was just normal conversation with two teenagers.

"Hey, Scott." Mr. Argent greeted. "You're friend here was having some car trouble. We're just taking a look."

"There's a shop right down the street. I'm sure they have a tow truck." Scott suggested.

That's when I caught on. We're trying to get Jackson away from Mr. Argent.

"Yeah, you wanna ride?" Stiles offered.

Jackson didn't respond, so I moved to where he could see me through the window.

"Come on, Jackson." I said. "You're way too pretty to be out here all by yourself."

He hesitated, but finally began to make his way to the Jeep. Mr. Argent looked surprised to see me. I guess he knew I was Allison's friend but not Scott's as well.

I began to move over to make room for Jackson when Mr. Argent stopped us.

"Hey boys... and girl."

I looked over at him to see him turn a switch, causing Jackson's car engine to turn on, indicating that it was fixed

"Told you I knew a few things about cars." He said.

Then he walked back to his car, got in, and drove off without another word. After a moment or two, the boys got out of the car and I followed suit.

"What, are you following me now?" Jackson scoffed.

Scott stood in front of him while Stiles and I stood beside each other, facing the duo.

"Yes, you stupid freaking idiot!" Scott insulted. "You almost gave away everything, right there!"

"What are you talking about?" Jackson asked, annoyed.

"He thinks you're the second beta." Scott explained. "He thinks you're me!"

Scott suddenly turned around and smack his hand against the Jeep.

"Dude, my jeep." Stiles said, holding his arms out.

"I can hear your heart beating from a mile away, literally!" Scott exclaimed, ignoring his friend's comment. "Now he thinks that there's something wrong, and now I have to keep an eye on you so he doesn't kill you too!"
