We both walk into class to see Allison sitting in her seat already. Allison looks up as Scott and I stare at her. She was mostly looking at Scott as I pat his shoulder. "Get the necklace" I tell him. "Wait" he says stopping me as Allison looks away. "You're not gonna help?" He asks. "You've got it. You used to date her" I point out. "It's just a break" He grumbles. "Okay. Just go talk to her and don't upset her" I tell him with a pointed look. "Okay" He nods starting to walk towards her.
I walk to a seat in the back across the room from her and her eyes follow me closely. I sit down and look over to see Scott headed toward the empty seat next to her. Lydia slams her stuff on the desk though with a smirk. "Try another row, sweetheart." She smirks. He sighs and glances at me as I shrug. He takes a seat behind Lydia. "Okay class. Let's settle down. Let's get our books out." Our teacher says walking in.
I get my book as I watch Scott start talking to Allison. She looked upset talking to him. I see a smile appear on his face as he scrolls through his phone. The teacher starts writing on the board as Allison checks her phone. "All right, I'd like to return to our discussion from yesterday with a more in-depth analysis of lago and the way in which he preyed upon Othello's jealousies." The teacher starts.
Allison suddenly gets up and grabs her stuff. She looks back at Scott with an upset look and I internally groan as Scott gets up after her. What did he do? "We seem to have some here today." The teacher says and I roll my eyes. Lydia turns around and looks over at me. She gives me a confused look and I shrug.
I watch as Scott walks back in with an upset look. He grabs his stuff and moves to sit beside me. "Everything okay Mr. McCall?" The teacher questions. He nods and she continues to teach. "What the hell did you do?" I sigh. "I sent her some pictures and she told me not to talk to her" He sighs. "Jesus Scott." I groan. "Maybe you should go try to cheer her up" He suggests. "I don't know" I tell him.
"Madi she apologized. You should forgive her just like she forgave you" He tells me. "Okay" I sigh with a nod. I raise my hand and the teacher stops. "Yes Ms. Hale?" She asks. "Can I use the bathroom?" I ask her. "Go ahead." She nods. I get up and start walking out. I start following Allison's scent toward the girl's bathroom. I hear some sobs and sniffles and slowly walk in.
There was only one stall in use and I could tell it was Allison's boots. Plus that's where the sobs were coming from. "Allison?" I ask. I hear the sobs quiet down a little once I say her name. "Madi?" I hear. "Yes it's me." I nod. The door slowly opens to reveal Allison with tears streaming down her face and her make up messed up. "Hey. What happened?" I ask her feeling really bad seeing her like this. Her emotions were radiating off her.
"Just Scott. I just want some time away from him. I need some time to be just friends" She sniffles. I know it's wrong since Scott really likes her but what she just told me made me feel happy. "Break ups are hard aren't they? You want to talk about it?" I ask her. She nods and I smile. I take a seat against the bathroom floor and she takes a seat next to me. We sit there for a second in silence until she turns to me.
"I think- I think I'm starting to like someone else" She tells me and my eyes widen. She likes someone else? Who would she like that isn't Scott. It can't be me. She's obviously straight. Wait is it Jackson? "Madi?" She asks. "Yeah. Um what made you realize you like whoever this is instead of Scott?" I ask. "Well they always have my back. They're friendly. Cute" She starts explaining. "Are you gonna tell Scott?" I ask. "I want to. But it's just. I don't know. I don't really know anything" She complains. I nod and she sighs.
We sit there in silence again as I play with my fingers nervously. "Have you- have you ever had a boyfriend?" She asks curiously. I sigh and nod. "Yeah actually. We broke up though because of something he did." I explain looking down at the ground just thinking about him. "What did he do?" She asks. I look up at her examining her features before shaking my head. "Something really bad" I tell her. She nods and we both look down.
I could hear her heart beating fast making me look up at her. "Allison-" I try to say but I get cut off as I feel a pair of lips on mine. My eyes widen as I realize she was actually kissing me right now. Allison Argent was kissing me. I close my eyes and start kissing her back. After another second she slowly pulls away and we both open our eyes just staring into each others eyes.
Someone walks into the bathroom and we see Lydia standing there. I quickly stand up with a smile. "Lydia hey! Uh what's up" I try and play it off even though I was super happy. "What are you guys doing in here? Mrs. Ramsey wants you back in class. We're doing partner work" She explains. "Yeah sorry" Allison says. I hold my hand out for her and she smiles appreciatively taking my hand.
"Before we go we need to fix your make up though" Lydia says showing her make up bag and Allison smiles. "I'll go ahead and go" I tell them walking out. I start to walk out and walk a little bit away as a huge smile appears on my face. She kissed me! She kissed me!! My crush kissed me!!!

Scott and I were sat at the lunch table eating. Scott was upset while I was just looking around the lunch room. Stiles walks over to us and sits across from us quickly. "Did you two get her to give you the necklace?" He asks curiously. "Not exactly." Scott sighs. "Ah. What happened?" Stiles questions. "She told me not to talk to her. At all." Scott tells him. "Okay what about you Madi? Any success?" Stiles asks taking a bite of his chicken tender.
"No" I shake my head. "You didn't talk to her?" He questions me. "No she did. Her excuse was 'I got distracted' " Scott explains as Stiles looks at me in disbelief. "Don't give me that I look" I mumble looking down at my tray. "So she's not giving you..." "She's not giving me the necklace!" Scott cuts him off in frustration.
"Okay, well, did you two find anything else out?" Stiles asks us. "Just that I know nothing about girls, and that they're totally psychotic" Scott grumbles and I give him a death glare. "Well maybe if you cared about someone's feelings" I growl making him put his hands up in surrender. "Okay, I came up with a plan B just in case anything like this happened." Stiles informs us. "What's plan B?" Scott asks. "Just steal the stupid thing." Stiles shrugs.
"Couldn't we try at least getting to Harris?" Scott asks. "My dad put him on a 24-hour protective detail, okay? The necklace is all we got. Steal it. Thank you." Stiles says. "That's easy for you to say since you're the one not even stealing it" I tell him. "I don't talk to her. That would be weird" He tells me. I roll my eyes at him. I notice Scott shift a little in his seat nervously. "Guys. He's watching us." He says nodding his head toward someone in front of us. I look up suspiciously to see Jackson staring right at us while Allison and Lydia laughed.
"That's not creepy at all" I mumble a little creeped out by him. "Act normal." Scott tells us as Stiles looks back before looking at us with wide eyes. "Don't look back. That gives it away" I tell him. Stiles leans back in his chair and opens his water as we all try to act normal. I hear this sudden crunch and Scott and I both wince. We look at each other and shake our heads. "Scott, Madison... Can you hear me? You can, can't you?" He asks as we look at each other with panicked expressions. "What's wrong?" Stiles questions noticing our faces.
"Jackson's talking to us. He knows we can here him." Scott explains. Stiles turns around and looks at him. "No stop. Look at us not him." I tell him and he quickly turns around. "Just everyone talk. Act normal. Pretend that nothing's happening." Scott panics as Stiles gives us a blank stare. "Are you trying to pretend not to hear me?" I hear Jackson ask.
"Say something. Talk!" Scott growls. "I can't think of anything. My mind's a complete blank." Stiles panics. "Your mind's blank? You can't think of something to say?" Scott asks in disbelief. "Not under this kind of pressure." Stiles panics. "Okay how about you tell me about your plan later huh? I still want to know." I tell him. "I told you I can't tell you that yet. Just find Derek and come to my house" He tells me. "Don't leave me out of it" Scott tells us.
Stiles turns around and sighs. "FYI, he's not even sitting with them anymore." He points out making us look toward them. It was just Lydia and Allison talking and Jackson was nowhere in sight. "Where the hell is he?" Scott panics looking around for him. I turn around to look for him. "Looking for me, McCall? I'm right here." I hear Jackson suddenly say with a chuckle making me tense up.
"So what else can you do? Huh? Can you see better? Are you stronger, more powerful? No, I knew there was no way you suddenly got that good at lacrosse. That must be how Madison got on the team as well. Which means you're both actually cheaters. I mean can you even play lacrosse?" Jackson asks. "Yes." Scott mumbles gripping his tray and water tightly. Stiles looks between the two of us as I continue to look for the asshole to confront him.
"I'll bet my new co-captain's gonna score a bunch of shots tonight, aren't you. Same with my new teammate. And while you're pretending you're not a lying cheat, I'm gonna ruin your life if you don't give me what I want. And you know what I'm gonna start with? Her." He says and Scott and I immediately look at Allison. Scott was furious. "I'm gonna destroy any chance you have left with her." He continues talking to Scott. "And when I'm done with that, I'm gonna get her all alone, and I'm gonna get my hands all over that tight little body." He says and I feel myself getting angry as well. I was controlling it more than Scott though.
"Guy, come on, you can't let him do this. You can't let him have this kind of power over you. Okay?" Stiles starts telling us but Scott ignores him. "He's-He's talking about Allison" I chuckle in anger and his eyes widen. "I'm gonna do everything you never got the chance to do, and Scott, she's gonna beg for more. I'll bet she likes to get loud." Jackson says as Scott shakes the tray in anger. "I'm about to beat the shit out of him if Scott shifts in this cafeteria" I mumble looking around again.
"Maybe she's even a screamer. How are you gonna feel, Scott... When she's screaming my name?" He says. The tray snaps in half causing the whole cafeteria to look in our direction. I look over to see Allison and Lydia staring at us. "Scott! Are you kidding!" I ask him. He looks over and I look over too. I see Jackson staring at us with a smirk and I growl in anger. "Give me that. This is going right up his ass" I mutter standing up abruptly and grabbing both pieces of his tray as their eyes widen. Jackson's eyes widen as he sees me approaching.
"Madi!" Stiles calls after me as Jackson quickly grabs his stuff and walks out ignoring Lydia and Allison's questions. Stiles and Scott start coming after me as I rush after Jackson. I run out of the cafeteria to see him turn a corner but I get stopped by Stiles and Scott. "Madi let him go" Scott tells me. I growl in anger and turn to them. "The next time I see him he's getting his ass beat!" I tell them. "We know. Go get your stuff and meet us at my locker" Stiles tells me.
I walk into the cafeteria and grab my stuff. I start to walk out until I hear a voice. "Hey Madi!". I turn around to where I heard the voice to see Allison and Lydia waving me over. Well shit. Just the people I did not want to talk to after that fiasco. I put a smile on my face though and walk toward them taking a seat where Jackson sat.
"What happened? Is everything okay with you, Jackson, and Scott?" Lydia asks. "It's nothing" I sigh. "Hey Madi? Do you think you could come over later to talk?" Allison suddenly questions. I think about it for a second. I'm about to answer yes until I remember Stiles' plan. "Actually I can't. I'm sorry. Stiles wants me to come over to study" I lie and she nods. "That's fine" she nods looking down at the table. I see a text from Stiles and sigh. "I have to get going? I'll see you at the game?" I ask. They both nod and walk out. Little did I know I wasn't gonna make it to the game.
