Chapter 5

Next Day...

Classes were boring as ever for Malia. Not being in school for eight years can really have its joys but then again she was a coyote. After fourth period she went down to lunch with Lydia, Kira and Allison at her side. The four of them had been talking as they took their lunch trays to their table. Malia wasn't looking ahead of herself and crashed into Stiles. Her tray was pushes to her and the spaghetti was all over her shirt. She had dropped the tray in surprise spilling the rest of the spaghetti on her shoes.

"I'm so sorry." says Stiles as he frantically began using some napkins to clean her up,

Malia's pulse was rising and she could feel herself getting pissed. After a few seconds she pushed Stiles away from her.

"You know what its fine." she says in a sort of frantic voice,

She walked towards the exit of the cafeteria. As she walked away she heard Lydia yelling at Stiles. Once she got into the hallways she hurried to her locker hoping to have a change of clothes or a sweater or something. It took her three tries to open her lock since she was trying to stay calm. When she finally managed to open her locker she stopped. There was plastic bag in her locker that she knew wasn't hers. She grabbed it and opened it up. There was a little note inside; she picked it up.

'Malia-

Sorry about the lunch incident. I told you I'd test you at some points in the day. I got you a change of clothes and I packed you a turkey sandwich with a bottle of water and a Reese's. Meet you at the lacrosse field? -Stiles'

Malia looked in the bag and saw a pair of her other sneakers, with a dark blue blouse and a pair of jeans. She hurried to the bathroom to change. Once she got all the clothes from the bag there was a little brown bag at the bottom which would be her home made lunch from him. After she changed she put her dirty clothes in the bag in then put the bag in her locker and met up with Stiles at the bleachers outside with her lunch. He was biting into a sandwich when she sat down next to him.

"You sounded and acted like you were really sorry." she says when she sat down next to him,

"Well I was. Do you think I really wanted to spill tomato sauce and noodles all over my girl." he says,

"No I guess not."

They both lean in closer and share a quick kiss. When they break Malia laughs,

"What?" asks Stiles,

"You lips taste like mayo and baloney."

They both laugh and share another kiss. Malia grabs her little lunch bag and pulls out her sandwich. She takes a bite and smiles showing her teeth to Stiles and some lettuce.

"Thanks for the lunch by the way." she says after she swallows her first bite,

"You have to eat something or you might try to eat someone."

"No I won't, I'm more human than coyote."

"Wait till the full moon."

"Ha ha ha, but you know we can't keep this up forever."

"Keep what up?"

"Our relationship, we can't keep it a secret from everyone forever. I bet Scott's suspicious."

"You haven't told him?"

"No, why, should've I?"

"No it's just that Isaac doesn't like keeping things from Scott I thought maybe you did too."

"Naw, I'm good. Sure he's my alpha but he's not my dad or someone who's gonna tell me how to live my life."

"That's the strong independent woman I love."

"Shut up."
