''Are you sure you're okay, Lydia?'' Allison asked.
Lydia nodded, not looking at us. ''I'm fine''
''I still think you should've stayed home'' I muttered.
Since what happened yesterday i've been worried sick about Lydia. She said she was fine, but I don't think someone screams like she did for no reason. It was really weird... she didn't want to tell us what she saw. Maybe it was just her imagination.... no, it was too weird to be her imagination...
''Penny, i'm okay. Really'' she said chuckling.
I stopped walking and looked at her. ''Are you gonna tell us what you saw?''
She remained quiet for a second, and stared at me blankly. ''I didn't see anything, I already told you''
She was lying. Why would she be lying? Was what she saw that scary? And why the hell won't she tell us? Why the hell won't she tell me?! But, I decided to let it go. I sighed and said, ''You guys go ahead. I need to get something out of my locker''
They nodded and kept on walking. I ran a hand through my hair and started looking for my locker. Mel and Sam waved at me smiling, which I returned. I started to pass through the halls filled with lockers. For a moment I forgot where it was. Then I remembered that it was at the last one. I mentally rolled my eyes at myself. I can be so stupid sometimes...
The small smile disappeared when I reached the last hall. It turned into a frown when I saw Scott.... with Erica's arms around his neck. They weren't making out, thank God, but Erica seemed very comfortable. Scott, on the other hand, looked really pissed-off. At the same time, they both looked at me. Scott's eyes soften and Erica just smirked. I just stood there staring blankly from them to my locker. I felt awkward. Too awkward that I didn't want to reach the locker. Forget it.... I said as I walked away to the lunchroom.
''Are you sure that what you saw was true?'' Lydia asked me with her eyes wide open.
I just told them about what I just saw, you know, between Scott and Erica. I nodded. ''Completely sure''
''That jerk!'' she said.
''Well, it's not like they were making out, right?'' Allison added and I nodded in agreement.
''Besides, Scott looked like he didn't want to be there. It was all Erica'' I said shrugging.
Of course I felt angry about it. Of course I wanted to kill Erica right now. But i'm not letting that get to me. It's not like Scott was cheating on me. He wasn't cheating on me......... right?
''Maybe you're right'' Lydia said. ''Now that she's changed, she thinks she's the hottest of all''
Allison and I nodded. It's true. She does think she's the hottest now. Every guy thinks that, too. It's funny because before the change all of the guys made fun of her. Now they're drooling for her....
I felt someone sit behind me. I didn't know who it was, but then Lydia and Allison left, giving me a 'You-Guys-Should-Talk' look, and I knew exactly who it was.
''Penny,'' Scott said after a few seconds. ''Before you think of something else I just want you to know that it wasn't what it looked like. Erica came up to me and I just asked her a few questions about Derek, since she's a werewolf now''
Wait, what?! She's a werewolf?! So, that explains the whole 'change' thing! How could I be so blind to not see it?
I didn't say anything at first. I didn't know what to say. Seeing him with Erica made feel so... angry. Not jealous, angry. I sighed and with all honesty I answered, ''I'm not jealous''
It was true, I wasn't. I'm not that type of a jealous girl. Sure, I was jealous when Allison and Scott used to date, but all of that changed. He loves me, not Erica!!
''You know, now that you say this i'm worried about what's gonna happen next. What could happen between Allison's family and Derek's pack, right now?'' I said before he could even speak.
He sighed. ''Penny, you can't pretend to be normal. Like it or not, they're your family, too, and we need to do something''
He was right. They were my family. Not Victoria, though, she can go to hell. I don't care about her. Mostly, I care about Allison, and believe it or not, I........ I........ I kinda care about Chris, also. There, I said it!! Well, it's true. After all, he's my.... oh, you know what he is!!
''I just want you to be safe'' I whispered, tears forming in my eyes, but I refused to let them go.
His hand intertwined with mine, and I squeezed it gently. ''I know. But i'm not the one who needs to be safe. I'm worried that something bad could happen to you''
I smiled a little and turned around on my chair to look at him. He did the same, and soon our faces were only inches apart.
Someone cleared their throat. Sighing, we turned to see Stiles standing there, giving us a sarcastic smile. ''Sorry to interrupt the moment, lovebirds, but have you noticed that Boyd's table is empty?''
He pointed to the table Boyd usually sits. Indeed, it was empty. That's weird. Boyd's usually there... well, he's always there. I looked at Scott, who's eyes were eyeing the table in surprise. ''We gotta find him'' he said standing up.
''Yeah? Well, I don't think you need help from me. Erica looks good, after all, so I think I should deal with her'' Stiles said.
''A wolfsbane bullet will mess up her looks, permanently. Plus, if she gets out of control, i'm responsible'' Scott said.
''Wow, Scott, I think i'm attracted to your heroism. Wanna make out?'' Stiles said jokingly.
I rolled my eyes and chuckled. ''Sorry, Stiles. He's already taken''
