LAST NIGHT'S chaos hasn't been forgotten but most of the teenagers have decided to push it to the back of their minds to focus on the first day of school.
Scott goes to the animal clinic for some morning lessons after Deaton told him about a certain appointment for his favourite dog.
Scott also decides to bring the talons that were lunged into his chest last night by the man who attacked him to show his mentor and hopefully get an idea of who and what the male was.
Miah smiles knocking on Argent's apartment door seeing Isaac up and ready for school.
"You ready for senior year?" Miah questions with a smirk, "No. But I have too." Isaac mutters locking the apartment door seeing as Chris allowed the boy to stay there while he's away with the Calavera's.
"Come on moody. Let's do this." Miah chuckles while she parks her car in the school's parking lot ready to go inside.
To meet Scott, Stiles and Kira to start their crazy senior year, Isaac groans annoyed walking alongside the blonde mage hybrid.
Miah skips holding onto her bag beside her torso not wanting any of her belongings to fall out on the first day in the corridor spotting Scott looking around almost like his sensing her before looking in her direction with a loving smile plastered on his face.
"First day of senior year!" Miah exclaims happily placing her hands on Scott's torso.
"Last first day ever." Scott responds smiling while Isaac grimaces seeing the couple kiss one another hearing the bell ringing signalling the five minute warning before classes start.
"Oh crap! Lydia's gonna kill me." Miah mumbles seeing her cousin motioning at the classroom down the hall.
"Good luck, baby." Scott responds watching Miah walk... or more so rush off towards Lydia.
"God and you thought I had it bad for her." Isaac states smugly smirking at Scott seeing the glare plastered on his face at the memory of him dating and sleeping with Miah before him.
"Go to class!" Scott scoffs pushing Isaac towards the classrooms with a chuckle hearing yet another annoyed groan come from the Lahey male.
⛧°。⋆ ⋆。°⛧
MIAH RUSHES towards Lydia smiling guiltily at the strawberry blonde.
"Sorry." Miah mumbles walking into the classroom spotting Kira waiting for the two cousins seated already.
Lydia sits beside Kira leaving Miah seated by herself on the front row looking behind her towards the back row spotting Theo seated and ready for class.
"Oh just great." Miah grumbles under her breath smiling at Scott sitting beside her before quickly looking at her boyfriend again realising she's not seeing things.
Both Lydia and Kira communicate with Miah without saying anything motioning to the McCall boy.
"Scott? Are you in the right class?" Miah questions leaning into the male, "AP Biology?" Scott responds looking at the blonde, "Do you know what AP stands for?" Lydia quizzes across from the male.
"Advanced Placement?" Scott responds with a chuckle opening his textbook showing the three girls his been studying.
"Wow." Miah lowly responds shocked he didn't tell her about transferring classes this year.
"Welcome to AP Biology! Let's see who's awake. Can somebody tell me what plasmids are?" Mrs Finch the teacher of the class asks loudly alerting the students.
"Circular. Self-replicating DNA molecules often used in cloning proteins." Lydia explains answering the woman's question.
"Nicely stated, Lydia. Now, can you tell me what vitamin is absorbed in the stomach via parietal cell production of a glycoprotein?" Mrs Finch quizzes.
Lydia hums not knowing the answer looking at the teacher alarmed, "B-12." Miah responds knowing the answer, "Good one, Miah." Mrs Finch says nodding at the blonde.
"Mr McCall, did you know the answer?" said woman questions facing Scott, "Um, no." Scott responds honestly, "It's a common test question. What's your number one college pick?" Mrs Finch asks.
"Umm..." Scott murmurs, "Stop saying 'um'." the woman orders, "Sorry. UC-Davis." Scott states.
"Good choice. It's the best school on the West Coast for biological and physical sciences. You're in the right class if that's what you're hoping for. Who else thinks they're in the right class?" Mrs Finch questions looking at the whole class raising their hands on queue─ including Theo resulting in Scott hesitantly raising his own hand.
"Good! Then you should all be prepared for the test tomorrow." Mrs Finch voices, Miah scoffs lowly while the class groans feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Don't be so disappointed! This test is specifically to help you determine whether you should actually be in AP Biology. You have two weeks to drop. Tomorrow's test will just weed out the ones who shouldn't be there... and that could be any of you." Mrs Finch explains looking directly at Scott.
Miah grabs a hold of his hand gently feeling the dread rush through his body of not being enough.
After studying and writing notes for the rest of the class, Miah and Scott sit on the stairs during their free period looking over their notes─ more so Miah since Scott continues to stare off into his own little world still defeated after Mrs Finch's direct look at him.
"Hey. You two! You're both coming with me." Stiles exclaims rushing towards the couple capturing their attention.
"Miah and I have got free periods." Scott responds, "So do I. And so does Theo Raeken. Let's go." Stiles demands.
Miah throws her head back in annoyance eventually closing her textbook and following after the two boys towards the locker room.
Miah ruffles up Liam's hair while walking past him and Mason in the corridor.
Liam blushes seeing the mage hybrid walking around the corner beside Scott and Stiles walking into the boys locker room grimacing in disgust at the odour in the room.
Since this is where Theo agreed to talk to them─ hoping to speak to Miah some more since the two of them haven't interacted except for last night.
"Oh. Hello Miah." Theo greets happily seeing the blonde actually tagged along with the two males, "Yeah hi. Now talk so I can leave... please." Miah demands annoyed.
"I was skating in a neighbor's empty pool... trying to do a hand plant. Nobody was home. I'm not that good of a skateboarder... but I guess I was feeling pretty determined. Because I completely lost track of time. I didn't even realize that it was night until the yard lights came on... like I said, I wasn't very good," Theo explains looking at Miah stood beside her boyfriend with her arms folded.
"On my last try. I went down and hit hard. Really hard. I was sitting there at the bottom of the pool... and I realized something. I never heard the board come back down." Theo mumbles.
Miah squints at him trying to figure out what his game plan is here since his not mentioning her in this story at all.
Seeming as they knew each other during this time and Miah doesn't remember or believe his story.
"It came at me fast. I barely had a chance to turn around before it bit me. Right here." Theo explains motioning to the side of his torso close to his hip.
"It wasn't an accident. He wanted to turn you." Scott states, "Right. So... why aren't you part of his pack, then? Why didn't he come back for you?" Stiles questions finding the story suspicious just like Miah does.
"Okay. Tell me why I knew you years ago and we were friends and you never told me any of this? You knew I was a mage hybrid." Miah questions in a snarling voice.
"Because by the time of my first full moon... he was dead and Miah. You might not believe me but I was protecting you." Theo explains seeing Miah roll her eyes.
"How did you know that?" Stiles questions, "Protecting me? From what?" Miah asks still stood beside Scott.
"Not what. It's the who," Theo responds looking at Miah who stands up straight still with her arms folded across her chest.
"I met another one of his pack a couple weeks later. He told me the alpha that bit me was killed by two of his own betas. They were twins and their leader was after you... Miah." Theo explains.
Miah grows pale at the mention of the twins and Deucalion not forgetting what they did to her during those few years she was missing.
Scott and Stiles share a look also noticing the expression on Miah's face, "Scott, Miah. Listen to my pulse. I'm telling the truth." Theo suggests facing the two supernatural beings in the locker room.
"Right. Or you just know how to steady your heart rate while you're lying your ass off." Stiles mutters, "Why would I lie?" Theo questions confused.
"Because maybe... you're not who you say you are." Isaac suggests from the doorway overhearing the conversation from outside in the corridor.
"Okay. In the fourth grade... you had an inhaler. I had one, too. I remember this day where I ended up in the nurse's office with an asthma attack, a bad one. I was waiting to be taken to the ER." Theo mumbles.
Isaac walks into the locker room standing beside Stiles and making sure Miah is okay since she's a little pale.
"You were waiting for the principal. You told me what would happen when you go to the ER for asthma. How they give you oxygen and an IV of prednisone. You made it sound easy. Like everything would be okay." Theo says not noticing Isaac and Stiles looking at him with disbelieving looks on both of their faces.
"I've been by myself this whole time. Everybody knows that lone wolves... they don't make it on their own. I swear, I'm that same kid from fourth grade. I'm the same guy who met three years ago. I was hoping you both are, too." Theo says softly looking between Scott and Miah.
Miah softly runs her fingers along Scott's hand while the bell rings again signalling the five minute warning for the next classes.
"I better not be late for class. You're not the only ones I need to make a good impression on." Theo smiles.
Miah and Scott chuckle lowly while Isaac and Stiles glare at him leaving the locker room.
Stiles and Isaac walk closer to the couple seeing both of them looking at the two of them with looks on their faces that they believe Theo─ well some of the story anyways.
"No! Don't give me that look." Stiles utters, "We have to give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes." Scott responds.
"Not this time. All right? Stiles is right. There's something off about him. I can feel it." Isaac states seeing Stiles nodding at him with a thankful expression on his face.
"Lydia and Miah are the psychics. Not you." Scott states grabbing Miah's hand and walking off towards their next class.
"They're not psychics. They're a banshee and the fairy of destruction and chaos... part banshee. Okay? There's a difference!" Stiles exclaims.
Scott and Miah walk into the corridor of the high school with a chuckle shared together pecking each other on the lips before separating to head to class.
Isaac rushes out of the locker room wanting to catch up with the blonde girl so they can attend class together.
✹
MIAH SITS in the library with Scott, Isaac, Kira and Malia studying after Malia admitted to Miah that she might not be getting her drivers license anytime soon due to trauma from the crash when she was younger.
Stiles rushes towards the group of friends placing two pieces of paper on the table in-front of the friend group, "So, you found something?" Scott questions.
"Another signature. This is Theo's dad's signature on a speeding ticket from eight years ago. And this is his dad's signature on a transfer form to Beacon Hills High School from just a few days ago." Stiles explains pointing to the signatures on the pieces of paper.
"How did you get his transfer form?" Kira wonders curiously, "Did you break into the administration office?" Scott questions in disbelief.
"No. I did not break into the administration office," Stiles responds offended receiving looks from everyone on their faces table.
"Okay. I might have broken into the administration office. But it was Isaac's idea! But... can we just focus on the signatures, please? They're different." Stiles exclaims while Isaac looks at Stiles betrayed that he outed him like that.
"They're sort-of different." Malia mumbles with a shrug, "They're completely different! Come on... look." Stiles demands motioning to the certain signatures on the papers.
"The garlands don't match. The undulations of the sinuous stroke are totally off... and look! Look at this. Perfect example of the criminal tremor." Stiles mutters.
Miah shares a confused look with Malia and Kira, "So... now Theo is Theo. But his parents aren't his parents?" Miah wonders with a frown.
"Someone's not someone and when I figure out who that someone really is. Someone's in big trouble." Stiles responds determined.
"But no one's done anything wrong." Scott voices looking up at Stiles from his seated position beside Miah.
"Yet. If Theo's parents are both psychotic killers. We should not trust him... right?" Stiles quizzes seeing Miah looking at her cousin with a squint.
"My parents are Peter and the Desert Wolf." Malia states with a shrug, "Okay. It's fine. You know what? I'll figure it out myself... all right?" Stiles states annoyed.
Isaac curses under his breath and stands up getting his stuff, "I'll help you. Just cause I don't truth him either." Isaac states firmly seeing Stiles light up a little bit seeing Isaac joining him.
"I don't need you, you, or you, or you. I don't need anyone except Isaac... thank you." Stiles mutters pointing at everyone at the table who watch him and Isaac leave the library in shock.
Isaac walks behind Stiles seeing them leaving the school and walking towards the jeep belonging to Stiles.
"What did I get myself into?" Isaac mumbles to himself getting into the jeep alongside Stiles spotting Liam in the backseat.
"What's a 'criminal tremor?'" Liam questions reading off the piece of paper.
Stiles looks at the Dunbar boy and Isaac who just shrugs not saying anything.
"It doesn't matter." Stiles responds snatching the paper from Liam's hands and placing it on the floor.
Quickly backing out of his parking spot startling both Isaac and Liam who hold onto something.
"Jesus Christ Stiles! A little warning next time would be nice." Isaac snarls annoyed receiving a glare from the Stilinski male.
✹
MIAH PARKS her car outside the Stewart's household since Lydia begged for Miah to meet her and Jordan there, "Medium Americano. Black." Jordan states.
"Ooh coffee order. So are Lydia and I bringing you coffee?" Miah questions with a smile seeing Jordan's mode brighten up a little bit more since the blondes arrival.
"Yes. Since your cousin is so stubborn and won't take no for an answer. I'd figure that you two would be sick of me." Jordan responds.
"Sick of you? Why?" Miah wonders leaning against the truck, "Three weeks of digging through every piece of old literature and mythology... trying to figure out the 'something strange' going on with me." Jordan chuckles.
"Well... we didn't find anything. So you're stuck with us Martin girls for a little bit longer." Miah responds with a shrug.
Miah looks up at Tracy's window feeling a weird throbbing sensation almost like the upstairs room is calling out to her, "Memi, you okay?" Lydia asks noticing Miah growing silent of the sudden.
"Yeah. Fine, just feel weird," Miah explains with a frown, "Anyways, see you later tonight." Miah states facing Jordan who nods smiling at her walking off.
"She has a boyfriend, you know?" Lydia voices after a while of watching Jordan watch Miah leave and go somewhere else.
"I know. There's just something about her." Jordan says confused, "What do you mean?" Lydia quizzes with a tilt of her head.
"Like whenever I'm around her... my supernatural side feels protective and attracted of her." Jordan explains with a frown.
"Hmm. That's interesting. But like my dearest cousin said... see you tonight. With that coffee of yours." Lydia explains leaving the deputy at the Stewart house so he can go back on duty for the rest of the afternoon.
⛧°。⋆ ⋆。°⛧
MIAH ENTERS her apartment seeing her dad and Mack's stuff back beside the entrance door.
Miah shrieks rushing towards her dad hugging him welcoming him home from his trip.
"How was Rome?" Miah questions curious, "It was so nice, beautiful, hot. But hey we ended up catching up with someone while we were there. Come on out." Joel suggests.
Miah looks around confused noticing someone she thought she'd never see again in her apartment and smiling brightly at her.
"River?" Miah gasps covering her mouth shocked, "Hey Sunshine." River greets with his perfect smile.
Miah doesn't hesitate in hugging the male the same age as her and sobbing into his shoulder, "I can't believe you're here!" Miah exclaims still stunned.
"Me neither. Your dad and his girlfriend practically ordered me to come back with them." River responds in the famous British accent she loves so much.
"Well good on them! God. I missed you so much!" Miah responds with a smile leading the male into her bedroom to catch her for the next few hours.
River explains that he'll be staying with them for a while in Beacon Hills due to not getting along with his mother much and wants to get to know his father who happens to live in Beacon Hills.
Miah gasps happily before looking at her best friend in pure shock hearing that his birth father is Chris Argent.
However, the teenager doesn't see or hear from the man since he was never interested in him.
Which is why he never goes by 'Argent', instead he goes by 'Santiago' to show respect to his late mother.
After a while of catching up and gossiping about the past few years apart River doses off due to jet lag.
Miah explains to Mack and her father that she'll be home tomorrow since her and Scott have date night tonight.
✹
MIAH AND Scott arrive at the reserve since Liam, Stiles and Isaac followed Theo out here.
Miah shivers suddenly feeling cold hugging herself not noticing Scott taking off his hoodie and placing it around Miah's shoulders feeling horrible for ruining their date night.
Since they're making sure Stiles, Isaac and Liam don't make fools out of themselves.
"Thank you." Miah hums hugging herself inhaling the hoodie that has Scott's scent lingering from it.
"All good, gorgeous." Scott smiles pecking her forehead and wrapping his arms around her to keep her warm.
Stiles, Liam and Isaac eventually come out from the reserve sighing seeing the couple stood beside the jeep, "Find anything?" Scott asks.
"Nope." Stiles responds annoyed, "I fell in a hole." Liam says proud of himself hearing Miah giggle softly at him.
"Are you okay?" Miah wonders making sure his not injured, "I'm all good. Thanks Mims." Liam smiles in response.
Scott walks over to the window of the jeep to speak with Isaac and Stiles, "It was the bridge where his sister died, wasn't it?" Scott questions.
"Yes. It was... very embarrassing." Stiles confirms, "So, we're gonna leave now." Isaac states frustrated.
Stiles attempts to start the jeep, but the engine sputters, "Son of a... Liam, just do me a favor? Get in the car and turn the ignition when I say." Stiles demands.
The young beta walks away from Miah who's stood sensing the frustration and annoyance coming from the two boys and the attraction from the young werewolf.
Stiles gets out of the jeep frustratedly opening the hood while Scott helps him, "Stiles?" Scott voices.
"Be with you in a sec. Try it." Stiles demands motioning to Liam to start the jeep, but the engine sputters again not starting.
"Stiles." Miah softly voices, "Yes! Okay? We followed him out here. What do you want me to say? That I'm a stalker? Huh? That I'm crazy? Totally paranoid? None of this is new information!" Stiles exclaims.
Isaac huffs in the passenger seat since the jeep still won't start seeing Stiles fiddling with the motor again trying to fix this issue.
"Not even gonna try to at least give him the benefit of the doubt?" Scott wonders.
"I give people benefit of the doubt! I've given a lot of benefit to a lot of people." Stiles states looking towards Miah.
"Like Derek? Miah? Kira and Liam?" Scott suggests, "I was right about Peter." Stiles states fidgeting with the motor some more, "Try it again!" Stiles shouts so Liam is able to hear him.
Liam turns the key to ignition only for the engine to splutter again, Miah senses Stiles's frustration increasing the more the jeep won't work for him.
"You know... I bet you still think there's something about him that can be saved." Stiles suggests.
"Considering his my great uncle. Yeah maybe." Miah shrugs looking at the frustrated male who makes another adjustment to the jeep, "Try it again!" Stiles exhales.
The jeep splutters again, "Why can't you trust anyone?" Scott asks lowly, "Because you trust everyone!" Stiles shouts slamming his fist down on the jeep in frustration, causing a loud crack on his hand.
Stiles grunts from the pain spreading through his hand, seeing the way Miah backed away from him frightened and not noticing Liam getting startled by the noise.
Stiles scrunches his face up in pain and guilt hating the way Miah was scared of him in this moment.
"Are you okay?" Scott asks, "I'm fine." Stiles responds, "You could've broken it." Scott suggests, "It's not broken." Stiles denies.
"Let me see it." Scott demands, "I'm fine." Stiles states lowly not noticing Miah walking closer to them.
"Let us see it. Please." Miah demands gently while Scott and her hold out their hands.
Stiles reluctantly holds out his arm, Miah sighs gently taking ahold of Stiles's injured hand and motions for Scott to do the same holding it between both of their hands.
Miah and Scott concentrate for a moment before their veins run black as both begin to take Stiles's pain.
Miah smiles while Scott takes a deep breath taking the pain from Stiles.
Once they're done, Miah and Scott release Stiles's hand, said male looks at his hand, curling his fingers as he tests it out, then flexes it.
"Thank you." Stiles mumbles tearfully still picturing the frightened look on the blonde girls face.
After a few moments of silence shared between the three of them, Stiles turns to look at Scott─ who meets his gaze, sharing a look with his childhood best friend.
Isaac leans over starting the jeep's engine switching on the headlights while it roars to life.
Miah doesn't hesitate in embracing Stiles in a much needed embrace, "I'm so sorry I scared you." Stiles mumbles sadly.
"I don't care that you scared me Stiles. I only care about you and making sure you're okay." Miah explains stepping away while getting on the back of Scott's motorcycle holding onto her boyfriend's torso.
Stiles drops Liam off at the school since he missed the whole thing with Mason and drops Isaac home mumbling an apology for mucking him around all night with a wild goose chase.
✹
MIAH STRADDLES Scott's lap making out with him before breaking away from the kiss to look down at the male she's head over heels in love with.
"So, how come you never told me why you want to go to UC-Davis?" Miah questions lying down on Scott's bed.
"It's a really good school. I know it's pretty far from where you're going but it's also pretty close to the bay area." Scott explains.
Miah looks down sadly at the fact Lydia and her are going to be so far away from Scott at their college.
"It also has the best program for biological and physical sciences. Perfect for someone who wants to be a veterinarian. Babe... why wouldn't you tell me? Were you worried about what I would think?" Miah questions with a pout.
"No. No, not at all. It's actually because... I'm worried I'm not smart enough to make it." Scott explains.
Miah tilts her head straddling him once again, "You'll make it." Miah states determined before leaning down and kissing Scott's lips passionately.
Miah sits up taking off the hoodie and her shirt underneath leaving her in her─ his favourite bra and turning off the lap on Scott's bedside table.
Scott's arms wrap around her waist passionately kissing her again spending the night few hours of their night filled with passion and lust tangled in the sheets with one another.
Lydia messages Miah stating she's outside snd waiting for her since it's almost midnight and they promised they'd bring Jordan coffee.
Scott groans with a pout while Miah kisses him explaining she'll be back in half an hour and not to wait up since his so exhausted from their previous activities together.
After getting the coffee for the man, Miah, Lydia and Jordan stand outside Tracy's house seeing no movement inside.
"As far as I can tell. No one's gone in and no one's come out." Jordan explains feeling the pull and attraction towards Miah who's stood beside him sipping on her water.
"Sorry we wasted your time." Lydia voices softly with a sigh, "Not a total waste." Jordan says smiling at the two girls with a certain sparkle in his eyes.
"I'm just glad Tracy's okay." said males mumbles sipping on his coffee the two Martin girls brought him.
Eventually, Lydia drops Miah back off at Scott's seeing her sneak into the house with the key Scott gifted her with the 'S' necklace for their anniversary a couple months ago.
"Everything okay?" Scott groggily questions feeling Miah lying beside cuddling into his naked chest.
"Everything's perfect." Miah responds feeling sleep pulling her further and further into a slumber knowing she's safe and in the arms of her boyfriend.
