After a few minutes of driving the car it started to rain, and I remember that Allison is going to run over a dog on the road I think it's better to keep an eye on the road as it was because of this accident that Scott managed to get her to go to Lydia's party.
This also reminds me of the party I was so focused on training that I ended up completely forgetting about the party.
While I'm still thinking Allison asks a question "So, do you have any special girls in your old town?" She raised her eyebrows and smiled.
I smacked my lips and said, "Well I don't really have anyone"
She didn't believe me and said, "Oh, come on... um, man how did you not have anyone?"
I looked at her and said, "Actually, I never had the time. I was busy, so I looked at her, and she said, "What?"
I looked at him and said, "I don't suppose you have anyone either?"
She shook her head and said. "Same as you said I was busy, and it didn't help that I often changed enough. We laughed.
After that I decide that this is the moment I say "So Allison Friday is really your family night?" I ask a little nervously.
"No really I just made it up on the spot why?" She gave me a doubtful look, but I get the feeling she already knows why I asked that question.
This isn't helping me to be any less nervous, but you know if I explode I'll ask before I lose my nerve.
"And I was wondering if you'd want to go to Lydia's party with me?" Being able to finish speaking without stuttering was truly a miracle.
"Wow, Jon, I'm sorry, but unfortunately I'm going to have to… "Before she even finished her sentence I couldn't help but get discouraged." Accepted!"
"Alright, you don't have to... Wait, did you just say you accepted?" I was already preparing to be rejected, but it wasn't until mid-sentence that I realized that she accepted.
"Hahaha Jon you had to see your face." After saying that she continued laughing.
"Stop laughing it wasn't funny and pay attention on the road I'm young from, but to die" I say trying to change the subject.
After that, the rest of the time until we got to our houses was very quiet and to my surprise I didn't see any dogs along the way.
When we arrived the rain had already stopped coming down from the car.
"So about the party you come get me" I said jokingly
Allison looks at me and replies "I really shouldn't be the one asking that" she says obviously enjoying the situation.
"I don't think so unless you want to go to the party on my bike," I say sarcastically.
Right after this conversation, the agent says goodbye and I go to my house.
(Next day Beacon Hills High School)
Today was a pretty normal school day apart from the fact that the way Scott is staring at me during class is starting to bother me.
I decide to take action. Obviously I'm not going to confront Scott on a full moon day, that would be stupid.
So I decide to talk to Stilles to see if I can figure out what Scott's problem is with me.
I see that Stilles is in the same math class that I decide to wait until class ends to talk to him.
"Hi you and Stilles I'm Jon" as soon as I finished talking he replied
"I know who you are, and I doubt anyone in high school hasn't heard from you yet, but they want you with me" I can hear a bit of sarcasm and doubt in his voice.
"Actually I wanted to ask you a question about your friend Scott could you tell me why he doesn't seem to like me?"
"Look I don't really understand why he doesn't like you, but the only reason I can think of is that you're making out with the girl he likes." He told me
"But he and Allison barely speak," I said in response.
"Actually he talks to her in every class you're not in or when she's alone" he replied with a little fear.
It seems that when I get angry I can be quite intimidating.
"Anyway thanks for answering my questions" after that I just leave the room to try to calm down.
At least it's lunchtime I go to the cafeteria and sit at an empty table it didn't take long for Allison to sit next to me and right after her came Lydia, Jackson, Danny and one more man and a girl that I have no idea who they are.
I decide to ask Allison about Scott right away to get it out of my head for good. "Hey Allison do you know someone named Scott McCall?"
"I do, he's in some of my classes he's a really nice, kind guy, but why are you asking?" she looked at me with a doubtful look.
I simply reply "nothing, and it's just that I have a few lessons with him and since he's part of the lacrosse team I was just curious"
After that the rest of lunch was pretty normal.
I can't deny that I spent the other classes angry and maybe a little jealous.
(After lacrosse team locker room classes)
As I'm finishing getting ready for the last lacrosse test I notice that Scott has just put on his lacrosse outfit in preparation for the last day of testing. He had just put his backpack in his locker when suddenly, Jackson appears, also in his lacrosse outfit, and angrily slams the locker door, startling Scott.
Jackson" All right, little man. How about you tell me where you're getting your juice?"
I think Scott doesn't even know what Jackson is talking about and impressed by his intimidating behavior, looks at him blankly
Scott" What?"
I'm still amazed at how dumb Scott can be sometimes.
Jackson repeats what he just said in a mocking tone of voice, emphasizing each syllable as if Scott is stupid, which I'm starting to think is true.
Jackson "Where. Are You. Receiving. Your. Juice?"
Scott blinks seriously, still not understanding the question.
Scott" My mom does all the grocery shopping."
I can see that Jackson is thinking that Scott is playing with him, is radiating anger at this point, though he tries to keep his cool.
Jackson" Now listen, McCall-- you're going to tell me exactly what it is and who you're buying it from, because there's no way you're out there kicking ass on the field like that without some kind of chemical boost,"
I have to admit that what he said makes a lot of sense, I just wonder why, but no one finds it strange that a person who until last year was asthmatic would suddenly become an athletic beast overnight.
It's only now that Scott finally understands what Jackson is talking about as eyes widen as he realizes Scott frowns as he considers Jackson's argument
Scott" Oh, you mean steroids!"
Scott"Are you on steroids?"
Jackson loses his temper and temper as he pushes
Scott against the locker and holds him there even I would have lost my cool with Scott by now.
Jackson" What the hell is happening to you McCall???"
Scott simply replies "What's going on with me? Do you really want to know? Well, so do I! Because I can see, hear and smell things I shouldn't be able to see, hear and smell. I do things that should be impossible, I'm sleepwalking five kilometers in the middle of the forest, and I'm practically convinced that I'm totally crazy!"
I can tell from Jackson's expression that he still believes Scott is making fun of him and honestly if I were in his shoes I would think the same thing.
Of course, I would only think that too if I didn't know that Scott is telling the truth.
Jackson "You think you're funny, don't you McCall? I know you're hiding something. I'll find out what it is. I don't care how long it takes."
Jackson angrily slams the locker right into Scott's right ear for emphasis before smacking him hard on the shoulder and walking away, leaving a very overwhelmed Scott behind.
I notice he's coming towards me "what do you want Jackson?"
"I need you to knock McCall down as hard as you can every time he catches the ball," he says as we're walking toward the lacrosse field.
I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow after hearing his request.
"Alright no and as if I wasn't going to do it anyway" I reply being very sarcastic.
After that we split up since I wanted to be alone for a bit I'm sure what I'm going to do now and one of the dumbest things I've ever done is going to literally try to knock a werewolf to the ground as hard as I can but whether it's anger or jealousy that's making me act this way, I don't care, I just want to vent all that I'm feeling.
Apparently whether in this life or in my past I still have the same problems with dealing with anger.
As soon as I got to the field Coach Finstock has just moved to the center of the field, where he calls all the players to circle around him.
Coach: Let's go! Gather round! Bring it, let's go! We will!
I can see Allison is on the sidelines, getting ready to settle into the stands to watch practice for the second day in a row. She waves at me, and I wave back at her, but it doesn't go unnoticed by the trainer.
Coach"Have a question, Jon?
I decide to really ask a question rather than embarrass myself "yes, coach should I participate in offense or just focus on defense?"
The trainer answers me very simply" and just do what you train Jon"
Coach: Okay. You know how this goes. If you don't make the cut, you'll likely be sitting on the bench for the rest of the season. Do you make the cut? You play. Your parents are proud.
Coach shakes the face mask of the player in front of him to emphasize his point
Coach: Your girlfriend will love you! Huh? Everything else is, uh... just the rest.
Trainer: Now, go out there and show me what you've got! We will!
On orders from Coach Finstock, the players spread out across the field, cheering and shouting for others to focus on practice.
Jackson" Come on! Let's go!"
Practice starts with players doing an exercise in which they pass the ball back and forth between each other. Scott jumps on his toes as he waits for the ball to be thrown in his direction. Once again, when the ball comes towards him, he is shocked when he actually catches it with the least effort. He starts to run across the field, but when he spins around to prevent the ball from being stolen by another player, but I appear out of nowhere and attack him as hard as I can, and I can see that it must have hurt a lot. I see Jackson is lifting his helmet, so he can smirk at Scott before running off, which acts as the motivation Scott needs to get angry enough to exploit his newly acquired supernatural physical powers this guy and really an idiot.
Scott and Jackson are fighting each other for the equivalent of a lacrosse kickoff, and the two stare at each other for a long moment until Coach Finstock blows his whistle. Much to Jackson's dismay, Scott easily catches the ball before he even reacts, forcing him to chase after him as fast as he can. Just like in practice the day before, everything seems to slow down around Scott, allowing him to spin out of the way when other players try to attack him, jumping over another player's ankle when they try to trip him, and finally doing a movement of hands. -free round-off flip on three players who tried to take him down together, but as soon as he is going to kick the goal I accept him forcefully, but even though I took him down he still manages to throw the ball between the goalkeeper's legs.
Scott sighs, clearly he's having trouble breathing I think I exaggerated a bit in the force I used to knock him down, but on the bright side he'll heal after a few seconds he seems to be on the mend and still doesn't seem to believe what's over to happen, and Jackson seems furious and desperate to know what Scott's secret is. As Scott raises his fists in the air, the other players run up to him and give him an affectionate slap on the shoulder, and the crowd rises from the stands to applaud and cheer for him. Just then, Coach Finstock, who looks angry, calls out to him.
Coach" McCall! Come over here!"
Scott, not knowing what to expect, runs over to where the trainer is and takes off his helmet.
Coach" What in God's name was that? This is a lacrosse field. What, are you trying out for the gymnastics team?"
Scott shakes his head.
Scott" No, Coach."
Coach" What the hell was that?"
Scott" I don't know. I was just trying to make the pitch."
Coach "Yeah well you made the pitch. And guess what?"
Coach Finstock gives Scott a playful slap on the arm.
Trainer: You and Jon are just getting started, buddy.
Coach squeezes Scott's shoulders with his hands.
I can't deny that I got a little excited after hearing that.
Coach"You made the first line. Let's go!" He spoke while looking at me and Scott.
