Scott's Mate (Scott McCall)

Ch. 10 (Part 1)

Here it is! Finally hit double digits!! I've been waiting to do this chapter for such a long time now.

Ariana Pierce

My footsteps echoed through the halls as I hurried through them while texting. I found out the boy I met in the elevator was named Cole. Today was the day we take PSAT's.

I was currently dressed in black skinny jeans, a black tank top with a sleeveless light teal blouse, and white and light teal Vans.

I rounded the corner finding the Scooby gang. I walked over to them and almost cursed at myself for getting right beside Kira. Scott smiled at me and smiled back. I'm still pissed at myself for not telling him about me. I don't know how he didn't smell me after the well water washed the spray off me or when Deaton apparently made an incision in my chest. I don't understand how he hadn't noticed I healed perfectly.

"Good. Ariana's here. We're good" Stiles nods. I glare at Kira beside me as she glares back. This bitch...

"Did you eat this morning?" Scott asks me. He got right beside so he was basically whispering. I smiled down at my phone before I locked it and put it away. I notice Scott growl at my phone. Weird.

"Just a granola bar and a drink my dad always makes. It reminded me of him. It feels like he was there, stinking up the house" I joke lightly. He sends a sad smile my way.

"Where's Lydia?" Kira asks.

"She took it her freshman year" Stiles answers quickly.

"Does that mean I could have taken it some other time?" Malia acuses.

"Malia, you studied harder for this than any of us" Scott points out.

"Doesn't mean I'm gonna do good" she flatly says.

"Well..." Stiles and I say together. She looks back and forth between the two of us.

"Well, what?" She asks.

"It's do well, not good" Stiles says. Malia waves her hands up dramatically.

"Oh, god!"

"Okay, okay" Stiles said. He glances at Scott.

"You're doing this, because while we're trying not to die, we still need to live. Because, if I survive high school, I'd like to go to college. A good college" Scott gives his speech.

"It's only three hours. We can survive three hours" Kira says.

Scott shoots Stiles a look while I gave Kira a 'are-you-stupid' look. Which she is.

Stiles lolls his head around with his mouth in a 'o' shape.

I was the last one to ink my thumb and press it onto a piece of paper. I grabbed two pencils and looked up at the administrator. He handed me the paper and sent me a smile. I didn't mean to cringe but it was kinda hard not to.

I walked over to Ms. Martin who was collecting our phones. She stuck her hand out toward me.

"Cell phone in the envelope. You'll get it back after the test" she told me. I fished my phone out my back pocket and turned it off. I handed it to her and she put it in a yellow package.

I took a seat in the back of the class. The girl in front of me reaked of anxiety.

"Please do not open the test booklet until you are instructed to do so. This test is two hours and ten minutes. There will be two 25-minute critical reading sections, two 25-minute math sections, and an essay writing portion that will last 30 minutes. There are supposed to be two teachers monitoring this exam" The administrator guy shot the last sentence towards Ms. Martin.
