It's Argent, It's Chaos {2}

Chapter Four

Derek's voice was bouncing around Isaac's head like a giant pinball as he approached Rory's locker, leaning against the one beside hers. His shoulder colliding with the locker made a noise that made Rory jump slightly, the girl turned to face him and let out a small laugh,
"Oh my god, you scared me"

"Sorry" Isaac apologised with a grin,
"Hi"

"Hi" Rory greeted back,
"I see you're back"

Isaac grinned, his eyes sparkling with a form of amusement as he saw Scott holding back Stiles in the corner of his eye,
"Yes I am. How have you been?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Rory questioned with a tilt of her head,
"Weren't you a fugitive twelve hours ago?"

"Something like that" Isaac shrugged slightly.

"So" Rory started with a small sigh as she closed her locker, her economics book held in her arms as she looked up at the boy,
"To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Well, I was just coming over to talk to you" Isaac shrugged slightly.

"Okay"

Isaac hesitated for a moment before questioning,
"Are you okay?"

Rory let out a small laugh as her hand came up to fiddle with her necklace, her heart jumping a bit as she answered,
"I'm fine. Why does everyone always ask that?"

"Maybe it's because you seem like the kind of girl that says that you're okay when you're not" Isaac answered genuinely.

Rory hesitated for a moment before shrugging in a nonchalant fashion,
"Well, maybe, I'm not that kind of girl"

Isaac chuckled slightly before his eyes landed on her shoulder where the edge of her scar was showing slightly, his hand gently came up and he ran his thumb along the outline of it for a second,
"What's that?"

Rory shrugged before brushing Isaac's hand off of her shoulder,
"Nothing. I gotta run, to class. Bye"

Isaac smiled after her before turning back to Scott and Stiles, sending the pair an infuriating smirk before he too walked away.

"All right, listen up" Coach started catching all of their attention,
"Quick warning before we begin our review; some of you, like McCall, might wanna start their own study groups, because tomorrow's midterm is so profoundly difficult, I'm not even sure I could pass it. Okay, I need a volunteer at the board to answer the first questioned. Come one, who's got it? Uh huh, let's go buddy"

"Paralysed from the neck down" Jackson hissed at Scott and Stiles,
"Do you have any idea what that feels like?"

Stiles glanced down at his hand as his mind cast back to the mechanics garage,
"I'm familiar with the sensation"

"Wait, why would Derek test you?" Scott questioned,
"Why would he think that it's you?"

"How should I know?" Jackson shot back rhetorically.

"Wait, so do they think it's Lydia?" Stiles asked in confusion.

"I don't know" Jackson answered,
"All I head was her name, something about Rory and then another thing about Chemistry"

"Jackson!" Coach called out causing the trio to jump,
"Do you have something you wanna share with the rest of the class?"

"Uh... Just an undying admiration for my coach" Jackson stammered slightly causing Coach to tilt his head slightly.
