The Strawberry Blonde~~Lydia Martin

1.9.2

I didn't feel like dealing with my sister so the plan was for Scott to get the necklace. I hold Taylor's books for her while she digs through her locker and rambles on about a shopping trip she had with a friend and a dress she picked out for the formal. I wasn't really paying attention though. My eyes were trained down the hall where Jackson was talking to Scott. Scott looked nervous and Jackson looked smug.

"Alex" I look over at Taylor confused to see her staring at me expectantly. "Huh?" I ask. "I said, the formal's coming up. Have you thought about what you're gonna wear or...who you're gonna take" She hints. My eyes subconsciously move to look at a familiar strawberry blonde who was talking to my sister.

"I had a thought" I nod. She smiles widely at me. "Do I get to know who this person is?" She asks. "Only the most beautiful girl in the world" I smile. "Such a charmer." She smiles, grabbing her books from me. "So, I'll see you later?" She asks and I nod. She gives me a quick kiss before waving and walking away as I sigh.

What was I doing with my life? I glance back over at Lydia and our eyes lock but I quickly look away. Luckily, I'm saved from the awkwardness as Scott rushes towards me, panic in his eyes. "What's wrong?" I ask worriedly. "We need to find Stiles" He rushes out, dragging me away. I glance back to find both Lydia and Allison watching and turn back around with a sigh. They were probably talking bad about the both of us.

"How the hell did he find out?" Stiles asks in disbelief. "I have no idea." Scott panics. "Did he say it out loud-the word?" Stiles wonders. "What word?" Scott asks. "What do you think we've been talking about for the last 10 minutes, McCall? Werewolf. Did he call you a werewolf?" I whisper. Scott looks around frantically like someone would actually be interested in our conversation before leaning in closer.

"No, but he implied it pretty freaking clearly." Scott sighs. "Okay, maybe it's not as bad as it seems" Scott and I both send him a look. "I mean, he doesn't have any proof, right? And if he wanted to tell someone, who's gonna believe him anyway?" Stiles scoffs. "How about my entire family of werewolf hunters?" I bring up.

"Okay, it's bad" Stiles nods and I roll my eyes. "I need a cure. Right now" Scott groans. "Does he know about Alex and Allison's father?" Stiles asks. "I don't know" Scott sighs. "Not even Allison knows about Dad so I seriously doubt it" I scoff. "Okay, where's Derek?" Stiles asks. "Hiding like we told him to, why?" Scott asks.

"I have another idea. It's gonna take a little time and finesse though. It includes your best friend" Stiles tells me. "So, what, you need my help?" I ask and he nods. "We have that game tonight" Scott reminds us. "Oh, shit, that's right. And I'm starting" I sigh. "Yeah, it's quarterfinals and it's your first game, Stiles" Scott brings up.

"I know, I know. Look, do you have a plan for Allison yet?" Stiles asks Scott. "She's in my next class" Scott sighs. "Get the necklace" Stiles tells him and I nod. "You've got this Scott. Actually deciding to face the wrath of my sister" I pat him on the shoulder before following after Stiles. "So, are you gonna tell me what this plan is?" I wonder. "I still need to work some things out. Just come to my house after school" He tells me and I nod.

Unfortunately for me, Danny was sitting with Jackson, who was sitting with Lydia and Allison, which left me to sit with Scott and Stiles. I sit across from the two with a smile. "Hey, Alex" Stiles greets and I nod. "What's happening with the necklace?" I ask Scott curiously.

"I didn't get it" Scott sighs. "Ah. What happened?" Stiles asks. "She told me not to talk to her. At all." Scott says sadly as Stiles eats a chicken tender. "So she's not giving you-" "She's not giving me the necklace!" Scott snaps and Stiles and I both sigh.
