Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 10

Alison: What does he look like?!?

I laugh. Since dinner started, they’ve been asking me a thousand and one questions about Zack.

Lydia: Does he have a brother? I’m just saying! Not that I want one, but…

Alison: What did you two talk about?

Lydia: Do you have a lot of classes with him?

Alison: Do you like him?

Stiles: Well, I think we’ve all figured out that Hannah has a date! Can we get back to something more useful like finding a way to find out the rest of the list or not?!!?

I jump as I hear her scream. It’s the first time Stiles has ever gotten this carried away. He gets up from the table and leaves the cafeteria. I get up and follow him, only to run into Zack.

Zack: So, gorgeous, are you still up for Friday?

Me: Now’s not the time, Zack, get lost.

I was about to push him off to join Stiles, who was taking his bag from his locker, but Zack blocked my path.

Zack: I asked you a question!

Me: And I told you this isn’t the time! Get out of my way!

Stiles raises his head and looks at us, but does nothing and starts walking, glaring at us.

Zack: This is going to take three seconds of your life! Answer me and I’ll let you through!

I growl and push past him, but he grabs my arm and pinches me between him and the wall.

Me: Let me go!

He moves closer to me and presses his fist against my arm, which is really starting to hurt. Stiles comes up behind him and pushes him off, freeing me from Zack.

Zack: What the hell’s the matter with you, a*****e?!?

Stiles: You, I suggest you get out of my way now, you sick bastard, or I’ll beat the shit out of you!

I can’t move I’m so shocked. What’s wrong with Zack?

Zack: You think you’re scaring me, Stilinski? Fight me if you’re so brave.

Stiles punches him in the face, but Zack punches back and they start fighting. I regain awareness of the situation and get between them to stop. At the same time, the principal arrives and summons the two boys to his office. Stiles glances at me before entering the office. He doesn’t seem angry with me, but rather disappointed. I leave the school, taking his bag, and go to wait by his car, sending Scott a message.

[Me: Gone with Stiles, I’ll explain tonight] [Scott: Okay, have fun]

“Have fun” I wonder if we’re really going to “have fun” …

After a few minutes, Stiles comes to her car and stops when she sees me.

Stiles: Did you stay?

Me: Yes… You fought for me, I wasn’t going to go quietly back to the cafeteria as if nothing had happened.

He lowers his head. I approach him and put my hand on his shoulder.

Me: Is something wrong?

He’s mumbling so low I can’t understand him.

Me: What?

He raises his head, confident this time, and looks me in the eye.

Stiles: Do you love him?
