Chapter 6: Chapter 6
|Third Person's POV|
Nate woke up early today. He gets up to make breakfast and a cup of coffee. While eating he puts on the TV on the news and sees that they talking about an animal attack, apparently a cougar attacked a young woman in the preserve. She was torn in half with bite marks and scratches and they were still looking for the other half.
'And he said this was a normal town, no supernatural activity detected in the last couple of years, great.' He thinks and ponders what to do about it. After a few minutes of eating the food and thinking about it, he calls Holden but it puts him on voice mail so he leaves a message about the news and if he can send someone to take care of it. Now, he thinks about school and friends first is Allison whom he already met with her parents and even hang out with after school, then it is Lydia who told him about all the places to go and where most of the students meet up, we also have Jackson whom Nate talked about the different sports and players and different ways to train, and we have Danny who was a funny and kind guy to be around and he was definitely checking him out yesterday.
Today he wanted to see if they were going to talk to him again or if it was a one-time thing, you know how it is with popularity in high school and stuff. Nate looks at the watch to see he has 45 minutes before school begins and decides to go and talk with the coach about joining the lacrosse team. He locks the doors and leaves for school.
| At School |
Nate goes straight to the coach's office and knocks on the door.
"Oh, you better pray you are not Greenberg" Nate hears a voice and was confused about what he was talking so he takes a look inside.
"Well, you aren't Greenberg so who are you and what do you want?" Well someone is grouchy in the morning and a little too intense. He takes a good look at the man and sees a middle-aged man with tan white skin, blue eyes, and short black hair. He is in decent physical shape for his age, presumably due to his role as a coach, and wears athletic clothes.
"Um...Good morning am a new student Nathaniel Lockwood and was looking to join a sports team?" Nate starts to say but ends it up with a question and with the coach staring at him Nate was getting a slightly worried
"Do you know how to play lacrosse?" Coach asks
"I know the basics, but never played"
"Is that so? What about other sports did you play any?"
"I played soccer and basketball for years and also did track and field for a year or so."
"Okay, tell you what, you come later at the practice and see what you know and got, how about it?"
"Okay, sure" "now get the hell out of my office" Coach says loudly. Nate leaves quickly and closes the door but can still hear him.
"This little shits won't let me rest even for a minute…" Nate hears as he walks out of range. He decides to kill the rest of the time wandering around the school before the bell rings.
Now is the lunch period so we see Nate, Allison, Danny, Lydia, Jackson, Stephany, and Joe sitting at a table eating and talking about school or some interesting news they heard. Then Lydia decides to ask Nate a question.
"So Nate, how was it traveling around so much?
"Exhausting and boring" "how come" She continues.
"Well, we would travel every month or two and on a rare occasion, we would get to stay no more than 4 months. Everywhere we go I would get homeschooled and there was the training and the tournaments so basically I didn't have much time for fun" Nate starts and shows a sad face thinking about his up until this point. The rest give him a look of pity but he shrugs it off.
"Okay, it was not that bad I had a fair share of fun" Nate smiles and laughs a little.
"Well, what about you what were you guys doing when you were a little," Nate asks them all.
"Just school and sports" Jackson gives him a short answer.
"Programming and coding" Danny adds
"I was a ballerina and did figure skating" Lydia says.
"I did gymnastics for 8 years" Allison says.
"I played soccer" "I painted" the other two say.
They continue the small talk until the lunch period is over. After School is over it is practice time for the lacrosse team. Nate is on the field with the spare equipment when the coach shouts for the team. As they gather around Scott notices Allison at the bleachers with Lydia. She gives him a wave and a smile. He holds up a hand to wave back. He gets called out by the coach. The coach sorts the players into two teams after he gives them a pep talk about making the first line. As the players go to their positions coach tells Nate who stood still.
"Okay new guy let's see what you got you'll play as a midfielder today think you can handle it?"
"I'll try my best coach" Coach gives him one of his looks and slaps him on his back. Nate goes to his team he is together with Scott, let's hope it gonna end well for everyone"
The Whistle blows and the game begins. The pace is fast and brutal. When the ball gets passed to Scott, Jackson comes right after him. Lacrosse sticks smacking down on his gloves, Scott tumbles forward and slams to the ground, kicking up dirt around him. As the Whistle stops the play, Jackson looms over Scott. Glowering down at him, he grabs the ball while Scott--teeth
Clenched behind his mask--pushes himself up off the ground.
Coach gives the Whistle a sharp blow. The team gathers for
The next play. Scott and Jackson find themselves staring across from each other at the draw, crouched down with their sticks and the ball between them.
"Set!"
They tense, holding absolutely still. Then, at the Whistle,
Scott moves with shocking speed, grabbing the ball right out From under Jackson. Scott charges the length of the field. Defense lashes out with their sticks, but he parries expertly. Jackson catches up and makes a furious stab at stealing the ball. Then with Defense converging on him-- Scott twists his lacrosse stick around, keeping the ball safely in the pocket while he literally flips forward, leaping right over the heads of the Defensive Players. Feet landing on the turf, he whirls around, tossing the ball in an over-the-shoulder shot past the goalie-- Right into the net. The crowd in the bleachers roars with cheering. Allison was on her feet along with everyone else. Everyone except Stiles.
Coach calls Scott to explain what the hell he just did! He replies that he was trying to make the shot. At that, he tells him that he made the first line. Cheers erupt around him. As team members slap him on the back and knock his helmet with their gloves, a deliriously happy Scott doesn't even notice Jackson's furious stare. Or Stiles. Watching with a very worried look. Or Derek. Watching from behind a chain-link fence. And Nate didn't know what to think anymore about this guy.
With practice finished Nate and Allison walked together to their cars after Nate took a shower. Allison asks him about the party and if he would come.
"I guess? I don't have much to do and I want to see what this is all about Lydia hypes it so much that you've thought a celebrity was coming Also it will be my first time at a party so am looking forward to it"
"wait you've never been to a party before? Like ever?" Allison asks Shocked about it.
"Not even for afar. Like I said moving too, much strict dad, not enough time to make friends to get invited"
"Ohhh you poor thing" Allison says to him with a fake sad face and ruffles his hair.
"Ha Ha funny" Nate says annoyed and lightly smacks her hand out of his face.
After that, they go their separate ways to their car and drive home.
