Julia's POV

Taking a deep breath as I got out of Stiles jeep which was a hard thing to do all things considered. I felt everyone's eyes on me causing me to roll my eyes and groan in frustration. I scoffed and listened to all the whispers as I kept walking, head held high and confidence in my steps.

"Fuck off, take a pic it will last longer" I shouted flipping everyone off

I smirked as they all quickly averted their gaze and I chuckled to myself as I went to find Lydia. As I walked the halls I passed people that I didn't really recognize or care to recognize at all.

"Well if it isn't the Julia McCall" A female voice said causing me to smirk

"Lydia" I smiled

She went in for a hug causing me to flinch at first, but eventually hugged back. I noticed a girl standing beside her, Allison the girl that my brother Scott was falling for.

"Look at your outfit, it's killer" Lydia said looking me up and down

"Well I learn from the best didn't I" I said

"Of course you did" she said with an eye roll

"So you must be Allison then" I said turning and sticking my hand out

(I mean duh)

She smiled widely nodding and grabbed my hand to shake.

"Yes and you?" she asked

"Julia, my brother or twin is Scott" I said

I watched as she blushed and thought all about Scott and their first encounter.

"She went missing four years back, but it's clear whatever happened you came out hotter then hell" Lydia said

I inhaled and put on a fake smile as I nodded and laughed, but I noticed something about Lydia that I hadn't before. She had a particular scent to her, and now that I was different I could tell she wasn't human, but I couldn't place what it was. I knew a lot about different species of supernatural creatures thanks to those horrid people. Although it did tell me the different scents that they all have but something was masking her true nature.

Whatever it was I was definitely going to figure it out no matter what the cost was. Although for now I have to suffer through the day and hope school isn't too bad or upsetting. I can't imagine what might happen if someone pisses me off here. But of course right as I thought that I heard an obnoxious male voice.

"Oh look who it is Julia McCall" he said

"Shove it Whittmore" I hissed and clenched my fist

"Oh okay nice" Lydia said softly

"How can you date this guy lyds?" I asked

"Because I'm hot and captain of the lacrosse team" he scoffed

"Your arrogant little rich boy" I said rolling my eyes

"Watch it" he snapped

"You first" I said stepping forward

"Okay and that's enough" Lydia said while getting between us

Jackson scoffed and I turned to see Allison standing there awkwardly. I smiled softly, grabbed her arm in mine and walked with her to class.

"So we basically have the exact same schedule so we can walk to class together" I said

"How are you in advanced classes you were gone for" Allison began

"Yeah gone for four years without school, don't worry it's okay to say it, and honestly I have no clue they handed me a placement test and I excelled apparently" I said

"English class first shall we" I said as I opened the door the the classroom

She chuckled softly as her, Lydia and I all walked in with confidence.

"How is she alive after all this time?" I heard someone whispering

"Maybe she just ran away" another whispered

"Maybe she was at Eichen house the entire time" the first said

I took a deep breath and turned to face them but made sure I was clam and collected.

"Ask me, I mean teen drama isn't something I do so if you have a problem ask me yourself" I said

They looked shocked and confused but the fear that I smelt off them was enough to have me smile.

"Sorry" he whispered and put his head down

I turned back around and began chatting with Allison and Lydia until class started.

"Don't get me wrong I enjoy a cute boy, but what is wrong with him" Lydia said as we approached the lunch table

"I don't know Lydia maybe he's just different" I said and sat down

Jackson sat at the head of the table as if he were some king causing me to roll my eyes and scoff. I set my bag down and looked around the lunch room. As I looked around I made eye contact with a certain pair of familiar eyes. Man did he grow up and not in a bad why either, fucking he'll he turned out good.

"I'll be right back" I said

"Yeah" Lydia said and turned back towards her conversation

I felt eyes watching my every move as I confidently walked towards the table with my familiar old friend.

"Hello again" I said with a soft smile

"Don't you have better people to talk to now" he scoffed

"What's your problem Isaac?" I scoffed

"You can't just disappear for four years and expect to everyone to be happy your back or think that nothing has changed everyone's changed and you still think that we can be friends it's pathetic" he said

I growled slamming my hand on the table and stood up. I reached across the table grabbing his shirt in my hand and got in his face.

"Oh you have no idea about change, you don't know what I went through or where I was, so you can shove the once upon a time friendship right up your fucking ass and never talk to me again Lahey or so help me I will fucking flip" I snapped letting him go
