Monday morning came around and I wasn't super excited about going to school.I had done all of my homework yesterday but nothing can prepare you for Monday morning classes.I got out of bed turning off my alarm and went into the bathroom.I cleaned off and then got dressed in a long sleeve white shirt,old blue skinny jeans,and white converse.Once I was ready I grabbed my bookbag and went downstairs.I ate a quick breakfast that my dad had set out before he left and waited for Lydia to pick me up.When I heard her honk I went out and got in her car.

"Is it bad that it's only the second Monday and I'm already done with school?"

She laughed a little.

"Don't be so negative.This will be a good year for us."

"Whatever you say Lyd."

The school day went by slowly and was very boring.During lunch Danny and Jackson talked about the upcoming game and Lydia and I talked about classes and clothes.Don't get me wrong I love Jackson and Danny but I absolutely hated lacrosse practice.I couldn't see anything that they were doing and I was restricted to sitting and listening to Lydia gossip about everyone.I decided to use the time to relisten to todays lessons so I could get my homework done quickly tonight.I was rummaging through my bag looking for my recorder but I couldn't find it.

"Hey Lyd I'm gonna run to my locker.I think I left my recorder in it."

"Do you need help?Practice is almost over."

"No I got it.Thanks though.If I'm not back by the end of practice tell Danny I'll meet him out front."

"Okay.Be careful."

"Will do."

I got up sliding my bag on my shoulder and carefully made my way off of the bleachers.I heard a commotion on the field but was too focused on not falling to hear what happened.I was tapping the ground being careful not to fall over equipment and things.I was about halfway to the school when I felt a hand on my shoulder.I yelped in fear and swung around hitting whoever it was in the shin with my walking cane.

"Ouch.It's just me."

"God Derek don't scare me like that."

"Sorry sorry.I didn't think you'd hit me."

"Yeah well you thought wrong.What are you even doing here?Looking for Scott again?"

"Yes actually.What are you doing here still?"

"Danny's my ride home."

"Then where are you going?"

"Locker.I left something in it."

"Mind if I walk with you?"

"Sure.Saves me the trouble of using this annoying walking stick."

I folded it up and slid it in my bag.Derek grabbed one of my hands and placed it on his arm.I looked in his general direction.

"So why exactly are you looking for Scott?"

"Just keeping an eye on him.He needs my help but he doesn't want to accept it."

"That's Scott and Stiles for you.No one can get past their two man team."

"We're at the steps."

"Thanks."

I lifted my foot slowly and gently onto each step until we reached the top.

"Which locker's yours?"

"210.It's not that far down the hallway."

"I remember coming to school here.My locker was across the hall."

"You went here?"

"Yeah.I left my senior year."

"Because of the fire?"

He tensed up a little and I immediately felt guilty.

"I'm sorry.It's not my place to ask."

"No it's okay.But yeah my older sister and I left afterwards."

"What was the school like when you went?"

"It wasn't bad.I was captain of the basketball team while I was here."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah.I had Mr.Harris just like everyone else."

"I hated his class last year."

"His class was rough."

"So is he."

We stopped and I felt around for my locker.I opened it up and felt around until I found my recorder.I put it in my bag before closing my locker.

"Thanks for walking with me."

"No problem.Are you okay from here?"

"Yeah.I'm just gonna go wait for Danny."

"Okay.I'll see you later."

"Okay.Bye Derek."

"Bye Alice."

I turned back towards the way we came and made my way back outside to the steps.I carefully sat down on the top step and waited for Danny.A little while later I felt someone come up to me.

"Ready Ali?"

"Yep."

I stood up carefully with Danny's help.

"Want a piggy back ride?"

"Yes!"

He grabbed my arms and wrapped them around his neck.

"Jump."

I jumped up and he caught my legs.Danny and I spent the whole way to my house joking and goofing off.One of the reasons I love Danny so much is because he acts so normal around me.He makes me feel normal for a little bit.We pulled up at my house and I hugged Danny bye before going inside and up to my room.The first thing I did was get all of my homework done and sent in.Once all of that was done I changed into some comfy clothes.I spent the rest of the night listening to the descriptive version of The Hunger Games.It was one of my favorites to listen to.Once it got too late I turned off my laptop and crawled into bed and fell asleep.
