I’m gonna take you back to my house.

I love the feeling when you touch me baby.

It’s not as good when I am by myself.

You know you make me go wooo hoo —♪

The song ended when Meg answered her cell phone.

“Hello?” She breathed groggily into the device while rubbing at her tired eyes, her dark hair was a dishevelled and her eyes were struggling to stay open.

“Sorry did I wake you?” Isaac’s husky voice spoke.

“Yeah you did, what’s up?” She asked struggling to keep her eyes open, Meg turned on to her side with the phone tucked under her ear, she could hear a distant rustling and sounds in his background she couldn’t place.

“I’ll let you get back to sleeping, just called to let you know that its ten minutes till school starts and you are still not here.” He chimed in amusement that she didn’t comprehend; she could also here a chorus of snickers in the backdrop.

“K thanks, bye” Meg said smiling dazedly before pressing the button to end the call and allowing her body to drift off to bed, with Isaac’s words echoing in the back of her mind.

“WHAT THE FLIP…?” Meg’s sudden cry snapped Derek out of his workout concentration; he was mid push up when she yelled. Derek sat up shirtless and drenched in sweat, watching Meg fly about the room picking up her fallen text books and clothes before running to the bathroom and then racing back in a new change of clothes and hurriedly stuffing her books into her bag, oblivious to the half naked Derek, he smirked in delight not used to being ignored in his current form. He turned away to pick up the shirt he draped over his chair before bringing it over his head. His thoughts were on the ringtone that her phone played, it was one of his favourite songs by the Kids 88, never imagining in a million years that she would be a fan, his grey eyes gleamed in faint wonder staring after her, and the girl was full of surprises.

“I am late why didn’t you wake me?!” Meg demanded while shrugging on her back pack and glaring at Derek, his eyebrows lifted in mock surprise.

“And disturb your sleep? Never” He replied smiling wickedly as she dead-panned.

“You had no issue doing that in the weekends for training,”

“That’s for your own good,”

“And an education isn’t?” she snapped and Derek’s smile only intensified curious about why he found her agitated so fascinating, maybe it was because it’s against her nature but it didn’t stop entertaining him. Meg pinched at the bridge of her nose to calm herself before sighing and looking to him with her clear ochre eyes that were wavering in worry. 

“I am going to die in the hands of a lab geek!” She sobbed racing to the steps as Derek followed her calmly.

Meg panted rushing up the steps with her werewolf like speed just before the final bell rang; she barged through the chemistry door to stop instantly when all the eyes off her classmates were on her, especially the scrutinising gaze of Mr. Harris.

“Since it’s your first time being late I shall excuse you Miss Day, but don’t make a habit out of it.” He stated with authority, Meg grinned bashfully and nodded in understanding, taking a moment to regain her breathing.
