Still Loving You {Teen Wolf}

Chapter 9

''So, now you're good?'' Allison asked, referring to me and Scott.

I nodded, smiling. ''We are. It was all a misunderstanding''

''What did Erica want?'' she asked.

I shrugged. ''I don't know, she seems pretty interested in Scott. But I guess that little scene helped a bit. Scott found out that she's a werewolf''

Her eyes went wide open. ''Seriously? She is?''

''Yeah''

''So that explains the whole-''

''Yup. And we also think she's part of Derek's pack''

"Derek's pack?"

"Yeah, Scott saw her hopping I to Derek's car with him"

''But a pack for what?''

''I have no idea. But it doesn't sound good''

''It doesn't,'' she said, then stopped walking, glaring at someone. ''And speaking of the devil, look who's walking towards us right now''

I groaned when I saw Erica walking towards us, smirking. ''Hi Penny'' she said, sounding as if she was my friend.

''Hello'' I said back, not wanting to talk to her.

''I hope you enjoyed the little show earlier. It was made especially for you'' she said smiling.

''So, that's what I got for saving your life?'' I said.

''I guess,'' she said shrugging innocently. ''And let me just tell you that Scott's very hot. You're lucky. But, I think you should be careful. Someone could try and steal him from you''

''Is that someone you?'' I said.

''Maybe''

Allison and I started to laugh at what she just said. Oh, she thinks she could steal him from me! That's sweet, but it's NEVER going to happen. ''Yeah, good luck with that''

''I don't need luck. You need it, Penny. Because i'm sure that Scott will fall over heels for me, soon. You'll see'' Erica said, placing her hands on her hips.

I chuckled one last time. ''If you say so. But I wouldn't be so sure with those cellulitis on your legs''

And with that, Allison and I left, leaving Erica with her jaw dropped. ''And I thought that she was a good person'' I muttered, rolling my eyes.

''I know,'' Allison nodded in agreement. ''But she's a different person now that she's a werewolf"

"A very different one indeed"

The bell rang.

"We better go," Allison said, looking at the clock on the wall. "We might be late"

"Oh, not me. I have a free period" I shook my head.

Allison playfully glared at me. ''Oh, how I envy you. I'm stuck with History class"

I grimaced. I hate History class! "You poor girl"

She rolled her eyes at me. "Well, I'll see you later"

''Bye, sis''

Since she left me all alone, I decided to take a walk through school. Scott, Stiles, and Lydia had Chemistry class, and Mel and Sam were in cheerleading try-outs. So I had no one to hang out with. The only one I knew that had a free period was Jackson, but no way in hell I was going to hang out with him.

Suddenly I stopped walking because a person caught my eye. The girl was texting on her phone and her hair was covering both sides of her face, so I couldn't see it completely. It was her style that made her look familiar, and only one girl dresses like that...

''Scarlet?'' I asked myself.

Could that girl sitting over there be Scarlet Jones?

"Scarlet!" I called, it was worth a try. But what if that girl WASN'T Scarlet? I was going to make a fool of myself, then!

But to my luck, girl with the Asian face turned to look at me, a smile growing wide. "Penny!"

"You come back but you don't look for me?!" I said as the both of us gave each other a huge hug.

I heard her laugh, then we pulled away. "I literally got here like three minutes ago. There weren't a lot of people here, so I assumed that you and the others had class. Where are they, anyway?"

"Oh, it's just me," I answered shrugging. "I'm the only one that has a free period"

"Ooooh, I see," she said, nodding. "So, how have things been ever since I left?"

"Not so good," I replied, my smile turning into a frown. "A lot of things have happened lately"

She gasped. "Please don't tell me that you and Scott broke up!"

"God no! We're still together!"

She sighed in relief. "Well then, what kind of stuff are happening?"

"Maybe we should sit down. It is a pretty long story..."

~~~~~~~~

Closing the door behind me, I entered my house. It was all very quiet, like everyone was asleep. But no one could be asleep at this hour, It's too early. Then I heard the TV and Jake's loud voice upstairs, indicating that he was either watching a basketball game, or playing video games with Bryson.

In the living room, I saw Ginny reading a book on the couch, a plate filled with chocolate chip cookies on the mini glass table in front of her, while my little Ajax was resting next to her. ''Hey'' I said as I sat next to her, Ajax waking up.

She looked up from her book, looking as if she didn't hear me coming, and then smiled at me. ''Hi, Penny''

''Whatcha reading?'' I said eyeing the book.

''Oh, I hope you don't mind. I saw this book on your bed, and I've been wanting to read it for a long time now...'' she said giving me an apologetic look.

I shook my head, chuckling. ''It's fine. It's a really good book''

''It is. Where did you get it?'' she asked, closing the book and looking at the black and white cover.

''Grandma gave it to me on my last birthday'' I replied.

''Oh'' she said, me nodding, and then she opened the book once more, starting to read where she left off.

It all went silent for a few moments. Ginny was still reading the book as I played with little Ajax, a little bit lost in my own thoughts. Believe it or not, I was still kinda pissed off about the whole Erica thing. I mean, I know it shouldn't bother me, but it does. I didn't do anything to her so she could do that to me. In fact, I saved her life!! She shouldn't be thanking me like that! I even thought that we could be friends at some point..... I was very, very wrong.

''Ginny?'' I said after a few seconds.

''Mhm?'' she said, not taking her eyes off the book.

''Today I saw Erica all over Scott, flirting with him. I wasn't jealous, but then she told me that she wanted to steal him from me. Should I be worried?''

This time she looked at me, closing the book and placing it on the glass table. ''Well, I don't think so. It's just a stupid threat, in my opinion. Scott loves you, not her, so I don't think you should worry''

Of course, I didn't think Erica would steal him from me, but deep inside it bothers me a lot that she wants to. Maybe Ginny's right. She IS right. ''You're right'' right'' I nodded.

"I know I am" she said smiling, me smiling back.

''Hello, ladies. Whatcha talking about?'' Jake said entering the living room, Karen and Bryson following behind.

''Oh, nothing. Ginny was just giving me advice, that's all'' I said.

''Oooh, you wanna look sexy for Scott?'' he teased smirking, and I playfully hit his arm.

We all started to laugh, but then stopped when Karen asked, ''Oh, who's that rose from?''

She pointed to a rose next to the book. All eyes turned to the rose and then to Ginny, who was blushing deeply. I smirked. Someone's got an admirer. ''Who's the lover, Ginny?''

''No one'' she muttered hiding her face in a pillow.

''Awww, my sister likes a guy?'' Jake teased in a baby voice.

''Shut up'' she said throwing the pillow at Jake.

''Who is it, Gin?'' Bryson asked picking up the flower.

''Yeah, tell us'' Karen added excitedly.

Ginny was blushing different shades of red by now. She replied after a few seconds. ''It's a guy named Brad. He's in the book club with me''

''Awwww.......NERD LOVE!!'' Jake shouted.

We all started to laugh. I felt very happy for Ginny. She always says that she doesn't have time to date guys, but she really seems to like this Brad guy. I don't know who he is, but when she told us about him he sounded like a really nice guy. Maybe one day I'll meet him....
