Chapter Twenty-Six

Gender Reveal

"Good morning, everyone. My name is Mr. Yukimura. I'll be taking over for your previous history teacher." I opened my notebook to a blank page while the new teacher did his little introduction to everyone. "My family and I moved here three weeks ago. I'm sure, by now, you all know my daughter, Kira?"

He gestured toward the back of the room, though no one really paid any attention. "Or, you might not, since she's never actually mentioned anyone from school... or brought a friend home for that matter." 

A slight bang was heard from beside me, I turned in my seat to see a mop of black curled hair hiding a girls face. I pulled a frown as she awkwardly lifted her head and waved at everyone. "Either way, there she is! Now, lets begin with American history at the turn of the 20th century..."

I leaned toward the girl with a small smile on my lips, "don't worry, I'm sure no one noticed." The girl, Kira, gave me a small smile, but she didn't seem convinced. "I'm Victoria, by the way. Now you have someone to mention from school." I teased lightly before turning back to the front of the class, where Mr. Yukimura had begun the lesson. 

"Maybe we need a little more time to get normal?" Scott suggested while Stiles dug through his locker, his hands were at the base of my back, rubbing it for me. My back was killing me, I let out a relieved sigh as he hit a good spot with his thumbs. 

Stiles pulled a book from his locker, "Yeah, try not to forget-- we hit the reset button on a supernatural beacon for supernatural creatures." I nodded, stepping away from Scott and sending him a grateful smile. "Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say that things are never going back to normal for this town." I frowned at the thought. 

"Oh dude, your eyes!" Stiles whispered suddenly, I looked up to see Scott's eyes changing into a deep red color. It still weirded me out, beyond belief... I mean, he's a werewolf! "What about them?" Scott asked, looking from Stiles to me. 

I put my hand on his face, looking at him with furrowed brows, "they're turning red... you need to stop that before someone sees." I looked around worriedly, hoping that no one saw. "I can't--I can't control it." He breathed out heavily. 

My brows furrowed in worry as I saw Kira looking at us. "New girl is looking, we've gotta get him out Stiles." Stiles grabbed Scott's head, pulling it down. "All right, just keep your head down. Look down, come on. Keep your head down." He began guiding him toward an empty classroom, but I didn't follow. Instead I smiled and waved at Kira. 

She returned the smile and began walking toward me, her eyes following the direction the boys went. "Hey, Kira." I greeted. "Hey... did they not want to see me?" My eyes widened slightly and I shook my head, "no-no, Stiles' just... nervous around new people." I explained poorly.

Kira smiled, "is Stiles your boyfriend?" My eyes went wide and I scrunched my face up in disgust at the thought. "No! Stiles is my brother, twin, actually... No, Scott is my boyfriend." I explained and watched as a slightly disappointed and embarrassed look crossed Kira's face. 

"Oh! I-I'm so sorry for assuming... I don't-- Uh, I'll see you later." She walked off with her head down. I furrowed my brows in confusion at Kira's weird behaviour, but the moment I did so, a look of realization replaced it. She thought Scott was cute... I mean, I don't blame her, he definitely is attractive, but I couldn't help but feel a wave of jealousy cross me.
