Book 1: My Teen Romance with Derek Hale (Teen Wolf Fan Fic)

Kristin: Cheating is fun

I had given up on getting anymore sleep by 5.30am besides I was itching for a run. Belle was fast asleep and under her bright pink covers. Everything on her side of the room was pink: pink bed, pink desk, pink chair, pink dresser and pink wardrobe. She also had Zach Efron and High School Musical posters covering her wall space. I didn't understand why she wanted to grow up so quickly. Belle was only ten years old and acted like a teenager already.
Be quiet very quiet I crept and silently got dressed in my purple track pants, blue Adidas t-shirt, thin purple jacket and white and blue runners. My iPod was on my bedside table next to my keys and I grabbed them both before I headed outside into the cold.

"I'm on a highway to hell,
On the highway to hell,
Highway to hell. I'm on the highway to hell,
No stop signs, speed limit, nobody's gonna slow me down."

ACDC's Bon Scott sung in my ears as I ran through the woods. It was my dad's favourite song and I had grown up listening to it on a daily basis.
"Kristin," I only just heard my name over the loud music. I stopped running immediately and pulled out an earphone but I couldn't see or hear anybody it was still too dark. After scanning the forest for a few more seconds I started running again, but left one earphone to dangle and bump against my chest.
It's probably Derek playing a trick on me. I assumed and kept running along the path. I wasn't dumb enough to go off the trail while it was still dark.
"Kristin."
This time the person chanted my name. It had to be Derek although he didn't seem like the type of person that ran at 5.30 in the morning, but then again I had been wrong about him once already.
I stopped running again and scanned my surroundings which was a waste of time and effort. I still couldn't see anything.
Just keep running if it's Derek you can kick his ass later.
I turned around and collided with something or someone and a scream escaped my lips. It was unintentional and embarrassing. I wasn't a girly girl and I didn't usually scream- not ever.
Derek chuckled and I punched him in the arm as hard as I could. He had literally appeared out of nowhere, maybe he and my grams were in a secret ninja club.
"What the hell? How the hell?" I asked in between breaths as Derek continued to laugh at my reaction.
"I didn't think you scared that easy," Derek sounded bored.
"I wasn't scared," I took a deep breath. I needed to start running again while the adrenaline was still coursing through my veins.
"Why'd you scream than?"
"I was just surprised," I replied before I started running again. Derek was the reason I was having trouble sleeping, and now he was there with me in my waking moments. I couldn't seem to escape him. It wouldn't have bothered me so much if he wasn't leaving me so confused. At the river we totally shared a moment it may have been brief but there was definitely sparks. Yet at school he was giving me the cold shoulder along with that adorable scowl that was meant to be intimidating.
What made it worse was the fact that all I could think about was how close our bodies were pressed together. There were no words to describe just how amazing he smelt. It was intoxicating. I had never wanted to kiss another person so badly before in my life.
"Are you mad at me now?" Derek asked as he ran by my side, and he almost sounded hopeful like he wanted me to tell him that I hated him and never wanted to see him again.
Guys are so weird.
"Nope I'm just plotting my revenge," I nudged Derek and sprinted ahead of him but only got a few feet before he was by my side again.
"When are you going to learn? I'm unbeatable," He matched my stride with ease and I wanted to trip him up to gain the advantage but I somehow manage to resist my urge, well for the moment.
"Did I interrupt your animal stuffing?" I ignored his comment- no one was unbeatable.
"No I save that for after school during the afternoon," His tone was serious although I didn't believe it. He didn't have that psycho creep feeling.
"Right," I couldn't help but laugh as I ran and my feet crunched against the gravel although my throat was starting to dry out and I had forgotten my drink bottle.
"So do you always run at this time in the morning?" I was practically panting.
"Only when I can't sleep."
"Really... Why couldn't you sleep?" I quickened my pace and wondered if his reason was the same as mine. As selfish as it sounded I hoped it was thoughts of me that had kept him from sleeping.
"No reason in particular," Derek shrugged as he continued to run and I wished I was able to read his mind. I wanted to know. I needed to know what was happening.
You're being ridiculous stop it. You only met him four days ago.
"How about you, do you always run this early in the morning?" Derek was still trying to sound detached although I knew he had some interest in me or at least curiosity. He wouldn't have been there otherwise.
I slowed down my pace to help even out my breathing otherwise Derek would've had trouble understanding me. My voice was hoarse and dry and it was becoming painful, but I didn't want to stop running. I wanted to savour my time with Derek and drag it out as much as possible.
"Sometimes I used to run with my father," I made an effort to hide the pain from my voice.
"I'm... Sorry," he apologised after a long moment of silence.
"So that's what it takes to hear those words?" I asked trying to sound normal and not like a man with my raspy voice.
"Well don't get used to hearing them that was the first and last time."
I stopped running and Derek noticed immediately and turned on his heels to face me with a raised eyebrow.
I smirked, "I'll race you to the end of the track on three."
Derek didn't reply at first, and it almost looked like he was struggling to decide, "Okay but you are going to lose," Derek agreed as he took a few steps towards me so we were right beside each other with our feet level.
"One, two..." I started running.
"Seriously!" Derek yelled out before he started to catch up with me.
The end of the track was coming up close. There were six trees between me and my victory. I had to beat him.
Just six trees come on you can do it.
I heard him, he was right behind me by the time I reached the forth tree it was time to play dirty.
My scream filled the air as I crumbled to the ground and Derek rushed towards me.
"What is it?" Derek asked concerned as he kneeled by my side.
"It's my ankle. I hurt my ankle," I winced and it was a very convincing performance maybe too good even I believed my lie.
"Let me take a look."
Derek inched closer and his hands reached out for my ankle which is when I pushed him onto his backside. I leapt to my feet and sprinted to the end although when Derek stood to his feet he didn't look impressed. The steam was practically shooting out from his ears.
"Oh come on don't be a sore loser," I panted as I leaned back and took a deep breath. The stars twinkled in the sky and the moon was still glowing. I loved looking up at the stars. The word fascinating didn't even come close to describing the galaxy.
"You shouldn't do that I thought you were really hurt," Derek snapped as he stamped towards me.
"Oh please you're just angry you didn't win," I smiled.
Derek's scowl still hadn't left by the time he reached me and I couldn't help but role my eyes, "Come on Mr Cranky you need to smile before the wind changes. It's not a good look on you."
"Really that's the best you've got?" He asked unimpressed at my attempt to cheer him up. It had to be his time of the month.
"Oh come on Derek," I grunted in frustration.
Why did guys always have to win everything?
I started to slap my knees, feet, ankles and thighs in rhythm to Sum 41's song Noots which was playing on my iPod. I was trying to perform a German knee slap dance which my friend Aria had made me watch a few years ago. I was awful and Derek's slight smile confirmed it.
"What the hell is that?"
"Impressive huh?" I asked before I stopped dancing and finished with a bow.
"You're insane," Derek's smile disappeared.
"Insanely talented," I added and he shook his head and rolled his eyes.
"And over- confident," Derek's scowl was returning. Why did he keep doing that? As soon as we started to have any fun he would immediately wipe the smile from his face. Was his loner status really that important to him? Was that the problem? Did Derek want to keep his loner/psycho status at school? Was I messing with it by talking to him during school hours?
"Well it got you to stop being a grumpy old man for a minute now didn't it?"
"Whatever," He shrugged.
Or maybe it was just me who felt the attraction and burning desire? Maybe I was completely misreading Derek, and maybe he wasn't interested in me- not in the same way I was interested in him. Maybe he didn't even want to be my friend but why would he waste his time talking to me especially this early in the morning?
I was utterly confused.
"Well I better get back home. The last thing I need is my mom freaking out and calling my uncle to organise a search party," I tried to act unaffected by Derek's presence although I had the feeling he already knew I was feeling something that I didn't how to define just yet.
"Later," He replied simply before running off into the trees and disappearing into the darkness.
