Scott hated how he could smell things with his werewolf senses. Stiles thought it was cool that he always knew what was for lunch two hours before they were released for lunch break. There were other things too, like he knew Allison was moody because of being on her period, or that time Derek got shot with a wolf's bane laced bullet and man did he smell bad. However today was a little different.
Scott could smell blood as the quietest girl in his English class walked past his seat and sat in the seat in front of him. She had choppy blonde hair with blue in her bangs. Even though she had unusual hair she dressed in normal clothes, blue jeans, a t-shirt with a hoodie or jacket. She was pretty, but no one ever noticed her or if they did they made fun of her.
Erica sat down next to her and the quiet girl smiled at her friendlily. The only explanation Scott could come up with was that Derek had given her the bite. He wanted to tell her not to join them, but he felt like his words were in vain. Erica turned around and smiled at him sweetly.
"I thought you were mad at me," the girl said getting Erica's attention, "Or that you'd forgot about me like everyone else."
"Oh you know I could never forget you." Erica said smiling at her, "I actually have someone I'd like you to meet, Nicole."
"Really?" Nicole said with a smile.
"Yeah we can hang out again if you like my new friends." She said smiling happily. Nicole smiled almost sadly at her words. Scott knew he'd have to do something to keep her from meeting Derek.
He told Allison and Stiles in his next class about what he overheard. They agreed to help in keeping Nicole away from Derek, Isaac, Boyd, and Erica. Any class they had with her they sat next to her picked her as a lab partner, or project partner. She seemed happy to have someone pick her rather than her work with whoever was left over, or have to work by herself.
"Would you like to sit with us at lunch?" Scott asked after their group of three finished their project for history.
"Sure." She said smiling brightly.
"Awesome." Stiles said smiling at her, "Hey, if you don't mind me asking; how do you not have a thousand friends, because you seem like a really awesome person to me."
"I don't really like being social." She said and Stiles nodded. Nicole hadn't said anything unless she was spoken to or was correcting their mistakes. To them it was like she was trying her best not to talk to them.
"Why?" Scott asked and she shrugged.
"I enjoy the silence." She said playing with her pencil and not looking at them.
Nicole didn't say much the entire lunch period as she sat with them. Occasionally she'd nod to let you know she was listening or she'd be the only one to laugh at something Stiles would say. She didn't eat lunch at all, but she worked busily on a drawing in a sketch book.
"Hey, what are you drawing?" Allison asked Nicole smiled.
"I draw mostly the same thing." Nicole said flipping over to another page, "This is the finished product."
It was a drawing of a wolf howling up at the moon. The wolf looked real and had a ton of detail despite it being on a sketch book. She flipped another page and this one had two wolves. One wolf was on its back and the other was standing over it, flashing its teeth.
"I take it that you like wolves." Allison said and she nodded as she flipped back to the drawing she had been working on.
"Nicole." She looked up at the sound of her name and smiled when she saw Erica, "You want to sit with us?"
"Uh," she looked over where Erica nodded to Boyd and Isaac, "I will tomorrow, these guys asked me to sit with them today."
"Okay." She said and then smirked at Allison who smiled back frigidly. Erica turned around and walked away strutting as she went.
"I wonder if anyone is going to tell her that her skirt is caught in her underwear." Lydia said and everyone at the table snickered except Nicole.
"Hey Nicole," Stiles threw his arm around her shoulders and she gave him a warning look that reminded him very much of Derek's. He let his arm fall and he just walked beside her. He saw the back of Derek's Camaro as he pulled out of the parking lot and Stiles relaxed a little. "Scott and I are doing a study group for history and we were wondering if you'd like to join."
"No, I have plans." She said walking away from him and over to her car.
"Wait!" he said as she opened her car door. She glared at him impatiently. "Can you at least listen to what we have to say?"
"Fine, but you'll have to talk to me on the way to my ballet class." She said and he blinked at her in surprise.
"You do ballet?" he said wondering if he had heard her correctly.
"Didn't I just say that?" she said angrily.
"Hey!" Scott said popping up out of nowhere, "I really need to talk to you!"
"I know Stiles informed me of that." She said annoyed, "I've got to go so you're going to have to either get in the car or do this later."
"Now is good." Stiles said pushing Scott toward her, "I'll follow you there and pick you up."
"It sounds like a good deal to me." Nicole said as she parked her car and Stiles pulled in behind her.
"What?" Scott said in shock at her words, "Did I not mention the werewolf Hunters with assault rifles?"
"You don't get it, do you?" She said looking at him as if she pitied him.
"No, please explain to me why it sounds like a good idea to join him." He said and she smiled a little, but it was still a sad smile.
"You're not an Omega even though you have no other werewolves in your pack." She said looking him in the eyes, "You don't get what it's like to be alone. Erica, Isaac, Boyd, and I do know what it's like." Scott was shocked to hear her saying something about an Omega since he hadn't mentioned them. She smiled at his silence a little happily. "I was born into a family of werewolves, and I watched every last one of them die in front of me. I am an Omega, and I'm going to join Derek Hale's pack."
She started to turn to get out of her car, but Scott grabbed her arm, "No. Don't join his pack, join mine." Scott couldn't believe he'd just called his group of friends his pack, but even Derek admitted that it was like a pack and that Scott was their Alpha. Nicole's grey eyes flashed a strange silver, rather than blue as she let a low growl out of her. Scott let go of her and she got out of her car.
"I'll think about your offer after I hear what Hale has to say." She said to him when he got out of her car and then smiled, "I might be able to teach you more about our kind anyway."
"Can I ask you something though?" he asked and she nodded, "Why do you smell like blood in the morning sometimes."
"Because some mornings are just more stressful than others." She said and then walked away leaving a confused Scott and Stiles behind.
