Crescent Moon (Teen Wolf/Liam Dunbar Fanfiction)

Chapter Two

Scarlett didn't bother going to the locker room after class to wait for the boys. She just went and sat on the bleachers next to Kira and Malia. She was too distracted to talk to the other girls. She was too busy praying. You see, Scarlett was one of the fasted runners at Beacon Hills High. Hell she was the fastest runner in the state. She was Coach's pride and joy and she usually loved it. It got her things like free lunches and access to the boy's locker room. The one thing she hated was that because Coach got a kick out of annoying the heck out of his students, he took every opportunity he had. That included making those who were trying out for the team run laps before starting. This wouldn't be a problem except for the fact he makes her run too, and offered anyone who can beat her 20 bucks and an automatic A in his classes. Obviously every one of all ages tried to beat her, but no one ever did, so it was a sure fire way of humiliating everyone at the same time.

When Finstock entered the field she ducked her head and pretended to look at Malia's homework.

"Ummm. What are you doing?" Malia said slowly. Obviously being new to the school, she didn't know about Coach's tradition.

Scarlett looked up at her quickly, scared of being seen. "Hiding" She whispered.

Malia nodded for a second like she understood, then asked again "Why?"

Scarlett decided then and there that watching tryouts wasn't worth the risk and slowly stood up, keeping her head down muttering "Please,please, ple-"

"Martin!" Finstock shouted. "I see you! You can not escape me! I was always find you!" Scarlett heard this and froze like a deer in headlights. She slowly turned and faced Coach. The entire team was watching her. Some with expressions of confusion: Why would coach make them race Scarlett Martin. Others looked at her hatefully, knowing they were gonna get their asses whooped again. Then there were Scott, Stiles and Garrett who thought it was hilarious. And there was Liam, who thought he could beat her according to the smug smile on his face.

"Come on Coach! Don't make me do it again! They all know they're gonna get their asses kicked anyway." She pleaded.

"Martin, what do I say every year?" He said with a smile.

She pulled a sour face. "Get your ass on the field and start running because I wanna see their jaws hit the ground so hard they bounce, fall off and get lost in the sea of your disappointment and shame." She deadpanned and made her way over to stand next to him.

"I will give 20 bucks to whoever can beat Martin here." He began. "You will also get an automatic A in my class."

"Like that time her sister went running through the woods naked?" Said Greenberg laughing. Liam got a surprised look on his face.

Scarlett slowly turned to Greenberg. "What did you say?" She was shaking with rage. No one said anything about her sister like that. "I didn't hear you. Say it again." she dared. The look on Greenberg's face was pure terror and he was frozen in place by the murderous look she was giving him.

She went to leap forward as Stiles and Coach grabbed from behind and held her back.

"Greenberg! I want an 5 page essay on how not to anger a girl who has an IQ of the Eiffel tower and has serious anger issues by Wednesday! Idiot." Shouted Coach.

Stiles kept trying to calm her down by whispering in her ear. Lydia's mental state was always a sore spot for her and everyone knew to avoid the issue. Except obviously Greenberg.

Stiles and Coach finally let her go, eyeing her warily, but she just brushed the invisible speck of dirt on her sleeve and smoothed out her dress. She looked around. Kira looked shocked (whether at her reaction or Greenberg's words was unclear) and Malia looked like she was about to snap in Scarletts defence. Scarlett wasn't as close to Malia as Malia was to Kira, but they were good friends. Stiles was glaring at Greenberg and Scott was making sure he or Scarlett didn't do anything stupid. Garret was looking at her with concern and oddly enough so was Liam. She didn't think anything of it and just nodded to let them know she was okay.
