Monday 17th March
Isaac and I walk into school hand in hand, which is a perfectly normal thing for us to do. We are quickly greeted by Scott and Stiles,
“So you two are dating? Like the whole ‘boyfriend’, ‘girlfriend’ thing?”, Stiles asks us. I think Isaac almost chokes and Scott quickly realises the awkward situation that is arising so he quickly says,
“Liz, are you coming to watch our game on Saturday?”
“Oh yeah, of course”, I say smiling. Stiles and Scott leave us not long after that, something about Danny needing them.
Why did Isaac seem so shocked when Stiles had said that? Did he not want us to be ‘official’? Maybe things were moving too quickly for him. I could always ask him. No, that’s a terrible idea. Well, I’m never going to know any other way.
“Uh, Isaac?”, I ask cautiously.
“Yeah?”, he replies. I turn to face him before looking at my shoes and saying,
“What are we?”
“What do you mean?”, he asks me confused.
“Well it’s just that I’m pretty sure you nearly had a heart attack at what Stiles said so, I dunno, I was just wondering what you thought this was.”, I explain.
“Oh.”
“Oh?”
“No- Liz hang on. I just don’t want to be moving too quickly for you, ya know? Like we haven’t known each other for super long and you’re a bit younger than me.”, he takes a deep breath, “I just didn’t want it to seem like I was pushing you or anything.”
“Pushing me? What do you mean?”
“I dunno, I just don’t want you thinking that just because I’m older I’m going to make you, ya know, do things.”, he explains further.
Oh. OH. He doesn’t want me thinking that he- well that hadn’t even crossed my mind. Of course I knew he didn’t just want me for that.
“Isaac, I know you aren’t going to make me do anything.”, I say to him reassuringly.
“Oh that’s good. So why did you ask then?”
“Well, honestly, I thought that maybe you didn’t want to be with me, you know, like, officially.”. I say quietly.
“Are you serious?! Of course I do.”, He says and I smile at him.
“Well I’m glad we are on the same page.”, I say chuckling. He laughs too but then looks down at me with a serious face before saying,
“Liz Jordan, will you be my girlfriend?”
“Of course.”, I tell him before standing on my toes and giving him a kiss, before it even has time to get heated the bell sounds and we go our separate ways.
Wednesday 19th March
I practically run up to Lydia at her locker,
“HAPPY BIRTDHAY!”, I say excitedly as I give her the present I bought for her. I had gotten her two cute new charms to add to her bracelet.
She gave me a tight hug and started to open it, it was only her and I here as the rest had already said their ‘Happy Birthdays’ and had gone to class. I didn’t mind being a few minutes late if it meant I got to give her a birthday present.
When she saw the two little charms she smiles like a kid in a candy store,
“Thank you so much!”, she squealed, ”I absolutely love them.” I give her a final hug before we go our separate ways to our classes.
I sit down at our lunch table and notice that only Scott, Allison and Isaac sit there, I take a seat anyway assuming Lydia is probably ‘celebrating’ with Aiden. I’m halfway through my lunch when I see Stiles, he’s running to our table. He quickly take his seat and gets our attention.
“So guys I was thinking, you know. Like trying to figure out who attacked Isaac and I think I got it.”, he says in one breathe. We all stare at him waiting for him to go on, “I know it’s going to sounds stupid but I have evidence so just hear me out, okay?” We all nod and lean in, eager to hear his theories.
“Cassidy.”, he states.
“What?”, Isaac says confused.
“I, honestly think it’s Cassidy I mean it fits doesn’t it?”, we all stare at him confused and he continues, “Okay so firstly, she was the last person to see Isaac before he was attacked, and he was poisoned right? So what if she passed the poison through salvia our touch or something?”, some of us nod and some look utterly bewildered but he continues anyway, “Secondly, after Isaac’s attacked she just disappeared right? Does that not seem suspicious to you? And also, the killings. All of them started not long after her 18th birthday.”
“Okay you make a good point.”, Isaac says. And I nod before asking,
“How much time did you spend researching this Stiles?”
‘Uh well- a few days but I didn’t want to say anything before I was 90% sure.”
“Stiles, I don’t know, man. I mean you’re the one who brought her over to us.”, Scott says to Stiles.
“Exactly.”, Stiles replies, “I brought her over because out of the blue she had started flirting with me. I mean who the hell starts flirting with me?”
“Okay, well why don’t we go back to Derek’s after school.”, Isaac suggest and everyone nods before getting up to go to their next classes.
We get to Derek’s and Stiles explains to him what he said to us.
“So what you’re trying to tell me is that you think that a girl who took a sudden liking to you, then Isaac has been the one killing homeless men since she turned 18, because that’s when her ‘powers’ were unlocked. And that she took Isaac on a date to try to kill him but failed and disappeared from school.”
“Yep.”, Stiles says, popping the ‘p’.
“You know for once, you actually might be onto something.”, Stiles stares at him in disbelief.
“Seriously?”, Stiles says.
“Yeah, I mean it adds up and you definitely did your research. I’ll check it out, but for now you all need to get home and focus on school, okay?”, Derek says to Stiles with an almost smile but mostly just not a frown look on his face.
We all make our way home after the stress filled trip to Derek’s. It definitely scared me that it could be Cassidy doing all this but I push it out of my mind knowing that Derek will handle it.
