Devoted ║ Liam Dunbar

║Chapter 34║

Liam told me to wait for him so I just hung around, turning up to see none other that Liam and Hayden chatting. Or that's what I thought. I know it was wrong but I couldn't help but listen in to the conversation.

''Are you still pissed off over the sixth grade?'' Liam questioned breathing out slamming his locker shut.

''I'm not pissed Liam.'' Her words made my ears spike up. ''I'm vengeful.''

''Well- that's no excuse to be horrible to my girlfriend..'' His words made me bite down on my lip. ''Trust me Liam, I'm not the horrible one there.'' She spoke as I stopped listening knowing she had walked away, she ended up storming straight past me as I turned down, hiding myself from her and pretending to be infactuated with my phone.

''Jenna.'' A voice spoke as I turned up to see a slightly breathless Liam. ''Hi.'' I breathed out as we began walking out the door.

''Hey um. Hayden said-'' Liam cut himself up as I turned up to face him. ''Yeah?'' I gently responded. ''It uh- doesn't matter.'' He spoke as I frowned nodding. ''Hayden said sorry about my pants.'' What?

''What?'' I accidently blabbered out, ''yeah- uh.. I think she's sorry about the whole you situation as well.'' He straight up lied as I turned to face him for a second in shock. He wasn't looking back at me though, he was staring at my feet. Scrunching up my nose I swallowed not wanting to start any drama.

''Oh.. Okay.'' I gently spoke as we walked in what I felt was an awkward silence. Why would he lie about something like that? I just didn't understand? Was he trying to make her look better or something, I didn't get it.

The next day I was in the libary with Stiles, Scott, Malia and Kira. He told me about the full 'Theo being bitten story' and I gotta admit I kind of believed the guy. I mean there was nothing fishy there, right? But now Stiles was droning Theo claiming to be somebody he's not, in fact he went as far as breaking into the administrative office and found Theo's transfer formed signed by his dad which wasn't the same signature from when his dad got a speeding ticket eigth years ago.

''Garlands don't match. The undulations of the sinous stroke are totally off.'' He spoke and also said how the signature was a ''perfect example of the criminal tremor.''

I zoned out after that, everybody was so unimpressed with him, I did feel a little bad for him but he was going way too far with this. I mean I had my suspicions about Theo at first- and I kind of still do, but Stiles creating all this nonsense about the poor boy is making me forget about them.

But seeing as I wasn't going against anything Stiles was saying he decided that I was agreeing with him on this and 'enlisted Liam and I to help him.'

But helping involved stalking Theo around for three hours, it was getting beyond ridiculous. We were currently bent down behinss a bush watching Theo pull something that looked like a parcel out of his car boot. ''See, I told you this guy was up to something.'' Stiles muttered as we began to follow the lone boy further into the woods.

''Stiles- seriously, I'm really considering going home, this is the stupidest thing I've ever done.'' I snapped out.

''Yeah all we've done is watch this dude play video games for three hours... He better be covering up a mass murder'' Liam agreed. ''Let's fine out.'' Stiles ignored me, breathing out as I sighed, my legs beginning to ache from standing up for so long.

''Still got his scent?'' Stiles spoke, ''don't need it.'' I pointed out to the foot prints which we followed. All of a sudden Liam stalled causing Stiles and I to halt. ''Is something wrong?''
