Coup De Foudre ➵ Allison Argent (1)

Fifteen

Mr. Harris rings the bell. "Switch."

Erica yanks her hand away from mine and I get up from my spot, grabbing my things from the table to move on to the next station. I look at the back of my hand and see fresh new claw marks that were starting to bleed.

I take a seat next to Scott, but his eyes widen once he sees my now bloody hand. "What happened?" He asks, as he grabs the other ingredient in front of me and pours it into the container.

"Erica happened." I retort as I slip off my jacket and extend it to him. "Do you mind?"

"Oh, sure." He says and looks around to make sure no one was looking. He tears the sleeve off in a couple of pieces until it was enough for me to wrap it around my hand. "Erica's getting reckless with her abilities."

"Tell me about it," I mutter as I stuff my ripped jacket into my bag.

"We have to make sure she or Isaac don't become partners with Lydia." He says as he finishes pouring the liquid and writes down the notes for it.

"Easier said than done. I've had it with her having a blast by making my life a living hell." I glare.

Mr. Harris rings his bell once more. "Switch."

Allison's POV

After seeing what had happened with Olivia, it made my blood boil seeing Erica place her hand on her thigh.

What's making it worse is now I'm Erica's partner.

I face Erica and see she was picking at her fingernails. "What are you going to do to her?"

She turns to me with her finger placed under her chin, her eyebrows raised. "Don't you think the better question is what she's going to do to us?"

In the corner of my eye, Olivia turns around to face me for a moment before facing back to her work.

"I have to say," I feel Erica lean close, but I continue taking down the notes. "Olivia's a pretty girl, don't you think?"

"What's your point?" I mutter in annoyance.

"Nothing, It's just sad she isn't dating anyone yet. I might just have to change that once she joins Derek's pack." She smirks and I stop writing in my notebook. "She can't say no especially since she feels like a coward for being around on the team."

I grip on my pencil tightly.

"But you know, I always have this feeling like I'm a little psychic. You put up this facade where you and Scott are meant to be together but in reality, you're not even sure he's the one you want to be with." She whispers, closer to my ear. "You and I both know you're confused with your feelings but don't worry, I already left behind some scars for Olivia to remember me by."

The pencil snaps in my hand and I finally face her. "You think you can hurt me by sliding your hand up her thigh?"

"Would you like it better if it were your thigh?" She innocently asks.

Instantly I feel her claws slightly dig into my skin. "Come on, girl fight in lab?" She digs her claws deeper, making me grunt as her claws sank. "It'd be hot."

Mr. Harris rings his bell. "Time! If you've catalyzed correctly, you should be looking at a crystal."

Olivia's POV:

I grab the crystal with the laboratory tongs and I'm pretty sure I did it right. The weird thing was that it was somewhat slimy but I guess that's what supposed to happen?

I turn to Scott and Stiles table but see that theirs was not even close to being considered edible.

"Now for the part of that last experiment I'm sure you'll all enjoy. You can eat it." Mr. Harris turns to Stiles as Scott grimaces at their container.

"You can have it." My partner whispers and I nod.

I take a bite of the crystal and feel the small slime on my tongue. As soon as I eat the whole thing, I hear a chair screech on the floor which causes me to almost choke.

"Lydia!" Scott yells, causing the whole class to turn to him with confusion, as well as Lydia look at him with annoyance.

"What?"

Scott awkwardly looks around as all eyes were on him. "Nothing." He mutters and quickly sits back down.

Lydia resumes to take a bite of her crystal and once it's in her mouth, she smiles and continues to chew which made Isaac smirk.

That meant Lydia's the Kanima.
