Chapter Thirty Six

Mac's POV

I sat on the bench as I watched the try outs for this season's lacrosse team. Coach decided to make my team manager, why I don't know. Now I'm forced to come to every practice and game. The team had some good potentials this year. I shook my head in pity watching Stiles struggling to finish the mile they had to run around the field. Isaac came and sat next to me after he finished his mile.

"I'm joining you on the bench this season." He said sitting down.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"My grades aren't up to par with Coach's standards." He explained. "At least I'll have someone to talk to."

"Good point." I said. "Wait, don't you still get to practice?"

"Yeah, but I didn't feel like it today." He responded causing me to laugh.

I think my neck is gonna get a workout from shaking my head so much. Scott and Stiles were flailing. My poor brother and his best friend, I can see why they were bench warmers before Scott got bit. They are getting their ass kicked by that freshman.

"Come on man!" I yelled at Scott as he miss the entire goal again.

"What's going on with Scott?" Coach asked me.

"No clue." I lied, knowing it was because he was not using her werewolf abilities. Coach blew his whistle to bring the team back over.

"Let's go. Line it up. Hustle!" He said to the team. "McCall and Stilinski, grab the long sticks. You're covering goal for two-on-ones. Let's go. Line it up."

We all watched in anticipation as one of the freshman headed toward the boys. He maneuvered around Stiles but Scott was able to stop him. We all cheered loudly. Finally, they are looking good.

"That's my boys! Those two are like sons to me." Coach said. I made a face at him. This man is so weird.

I was finally able to be proud of the two as they kept stopping the other players over and over. Scott was finally showing why he was Team Captain. I noticed that badass freshman stepped up to the ball to go next. Scott and Stiles got serious after that. The kid ran toward them and easily got past Stiles. I groaned as he hit past Scott and landed the shot.

"That was luck!" Malia yelled from the stands. Here we go. "Do over!"

"Sweetheart, there's no do-overs. This is a practice." Coach responded to her.

"Ten bucks on Scott and Stiles." She offered.

"I'll take that action." Coach accepted. Of course he did. "Hey! Get back in there, Liam."

We all watched in anticipation as the boys got in their positions. Scott looked determined and I could swear I heard a growl come from him.

"Did he just growl?" I asked Isaac.

"Yes, you did. Finally he's getting serious." Isaac's face was lit up like a kid in a candy store. I rolled my eyes. I'll never understand the fascination with sports.

Liam took off toward the two boys guarding the goal. He managed to get past Stiles just as easily as before. When he approached Scott, he was flipped over my brother's back landing with a loud crunch. Liam started screaming in pain. Oh shit, what just happened?

"Don't move! Don't touch him!" Coach yelled running up to the group. Isaac and I followed closely behind.

"I'm okay, Coach. I'm all right." Liam grunted our, trying to get on his feet. His leg collapsed under him. The two seniors that injured him caught him decide he hit the ground again. "Ahhh! I think it's my leg."

"I think we better get him to the nurse." Stiles said. With that, he and Scott headed to the nurse with the injured freshman.

"You guy's take a lap. Run around... Start running around the field!" Coach yelled at the rest of the team, frustrated. I would be too if I just possibly lost one of the best players before the season even started. "Stupid!"

He threw a ball and it headed straight for Malia's head. I gasped, because knowing her, she's gonna lose it. Surprisingly or unsurprisingly Kira caught it.

"Oh! Wow! Nice catch. Throw it back." Coach said and Kira tosses it straight into his gut. I put my hand over my mouth to stifle my laugh. "Someone ask her if she's ever played lacrosse."
