"Allison" I shout walking through the extremely dark corridors. "Allison. You here?" I shout again and when I hear a loud bang. I walk towards where I heard the sound from when I saw a massive Animal. It makes eye contact with me and I run away.

I fall over and hit my head causing my headache to come back. I try and scramble my way up when it started making it's way towards me. I stare into its red eyes as it comes closer to me. I let out a scream before it jumps on me and the last thing I see is its red eyes before I see black.

I woke up screaming. I pulled my knees into my chest where I wiped away a few tears and then picked up my phone. I had an hour till school started so I just cried with my knees in my chest until my alarm went off. Once my alarm went off I crawled out of bed and got in the shower.

Once I got out of the shower I blow dry and straighten my hair ready for school. I choose out my outfit which consisted of black jeans and a navy blue jumper which I tucked into my jeans. I quickly do my makeup before heading downstairs and having some breakfast.

"How did you sleep" mom asks handing me some advil for my already growing headache. "Uh good" I say and she gives me a sceptical look. Victoria then handed me my breakfast and I sat the island and eat it. Allison came beside me and ate with me till we left for school.

"You know we haven't hung out a lot recently" Allison says focusing on the road. "I know, I'm sorry. I've been hanging out a lot with Cole" I say and she smiles. "It's okay" she says and I smile sympathetically. "We're still going dress shopping after school right" I ask she nods.

"How did you take the new information" Allison asks and I nod. "I uh dreamt about it. Woke up went back to sleep then had a nightmare about that night." I say and Allison grabs my hand and gives it a quick squeeze. "It'll be okay" I say and I smile slightly.

"How did you take it" I ask and she shrugs. "I cried a bit about the fact my mom and dad think I'm a weak little girl. But then I went and shot some arrows and felt a lot better. It's very stress relieving" she says and I smile.

"I wish I could do something like bow and arrow. I don't know how to use any type of weapons." I say sighing. "I can teach you and I'm sure your mom would if you asked her too" she says says and I nod.

The school day flew by and I'm pretty sure its because I didn't want to be dragged around looking for formal dresses.

"What's wrong with you two" she says looking between us both. "Nothing's wrong it's just family problems right?" Allison questions and I nod. "You could smile, at least. Ever heard the saying, 'never frown. Someone could be falling in love with your smile'?" Lydia asks and I roll my eyes whilst Allison scoffs. "Smile girlies, I'm buying you dresses" she says. "Have to admit as far as apologies go, that's more than expected." Allison says referring to Lydia making out with Scott. "Excellent." Lydia says then we get of the escalator.

"But not as much as I'm going to ask. You're going to cancel on whatever dumb, roided-up jock you said yes to and go with someone else." Allison asks and Lydia turns to Allison. "Who?" Lydia asks confused. Allison turns and we follow where she was looking to see Stiles spray perfume by his nose then start sneezing. I start laughing at how stupid he was. "Oh... don't frown Lydia. Someone could be falling in love with your smile." Allison teases and I laugh. I high five Allison then Lydia glares at us.

Me and Allison leave Lydia with Stiles whilst we go and look for our dresses. "Is this a 24 hour Macy's" I hear Stiles shout causing me to laugh again at how stupid he was. I find a purple dress and put it against my self whilst looking in the mirror. "That's not your colour" a man says coming behind me. I stare at him for a moment trying to figure out if I know him.

"Sorry do I know you" I ask and he shakes his head no. "Considering your skin tone, I'd go something like this" he says picking up a black dress. "Sorry, I feel like I know you." I say squinting my eyes at him. "Clara, come on." Allison says and I smile slightly and follow Allison.








The night comes for the formal and I was getting dressed ready for the formal. I zip up my dress then do my make up. Once I finish my makeup I put on my jewellery when my mom knocks on the door and walks in. "Wow you look beautiful" she says and I smile slightly. "Are you alright" she asks and I nod slightly after putting my earring in. "I'm just tired" I say and she nods. "Are you going with Cole" she asks and I nod. "We'll he's a lucky guy" she says and hands me my shoes. "Thanks" I smile then look down at myself in the mirror. "Hey you look beautiful, stop worrying." My mom says I sigh.

My mom leaves me alone whilst I put my shoes on. "Happy, normal teenage girl" I say looking at myself in the mirror. The doorbell rings and I take a deep breath. "Your dad would think you look beautiful" I tell myself then head downstairs.

"Allison you look amazing" I say when I see her at the door with Jackson. "Thank you but you look beautiful" Allison says and I smile and look down at myself. She hugs me before her and Jackson leave.

It didn't take much longer after they left for Cole to get here. "Clara" Victoria shouts answering the door. "Hey" I smile at Cole. "You look beautiful" Cole says I feel my cheeks redden. "Thank you as do you." I say and he laughs. "I've always wanted to look beautiful" he says and kisses my cheek.

"No hands, no more than making out, certainly no sex. And if you hurt her, I've got about a dozen glocks and Ak-47s in my garage." Chris says and I look at him shocked. "Yes sir" he says. My mom takes a few photos of me before me and Cole leave.

We get to the dance and Cole helps me out of the passenger seat. I thank him then we make our way into the dance. We sit at a table straight away and talk for a while.

"Do you want to dance" I ask Cole and he takes a sip of his drink. "Do you see any of the Lacrosse team dancing right now" he asks and I sigh. "You follow the crowd too much" I say whilst he takes a sip of his drink which Jackson put Vodka in.

"Jackson is dancing and so is Stiles." I say but he doesn't answer. "I'm going to get some drinks" he says and walks over to the punch table. I sigh and rub my palm against my forehead gently so I don't take my makeup off.

"Rough night" a familiar voice says. I look up to see Stiles. "Kind of" I say and he sits beside. "Where's Anderson?" he says. I look around to see Cole messing around with his mates at the punch table. "Over there" I say and he follows my eyes to where Cole was. "Where's Lydia?" I ask and he sighs. "Finding Jackson" he says and I smile sympathetically at him. "I'm sorry" I say and he shrugs. "Its not your fault" he says.

"I thought you and Anderson were hitting it off" Stiles asks and I shrug. "We were, but I just don't like how he tries to act infront of the guys you know?" I say and he nods. "I'm sorry" he says and I smile. "Its not your fault" I say copying him and he smiles at me.

"I haven't really spoke to you since you came in to town, how are you finding it?" He asks. "Quiet" I say looking around at people dancing. "Do you want to dance?" He asks and I look over to Cole who was still acting like an idiot with his friends. I smile and nod. I take his hand then follow him on to the dance floor.

It was a slow dance so I put my arms around his neck and he puts his arms around my waist. "So where are you from?" Stiles asks curiously and I smile. "Basically New York, I lived there for the longest." I say and he nods. "New york, that is so cool." He says and I smile.

"My favourite colour is purple Stiles." I say laughing softly after he told me his favourite colour was blue. "Purple is pretty, just like you." He says and I roll my eyes playfully.

"How are you? Well since the other night." Stiles asks and I bring my hands down to his chest and look down. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know it was a hard subject for you." He says and I look up and meet his eyes which were filled with worry. "I'll get better" I say and he smiles sympathetically.

"Stilinski! What the hell are you doing with my date." Cole asks coming over to us dancing. "You uh left her on her own, she was uh bored so I uh asked her to dance." Stiles say. "Well I'm here now." Cole says and I roll my eyes. "I should probably go find Lydia." Stiles says and I nod before he runs off.

"What a pussy." Cole says and I look up at him and slap him across the face and everyone turns to look at us. "Atleast he actually asked me to dance and actually showed an interest in me tonight." I say and sit back down at the table.
