Hi lovelies! Here's the next update! Hope you enjoy!

"What's the plan?" Theo asked as Liam and him ran towards Beacon Hills. The two had planned to come up with a way to help Scott as he was stuck in the classroom.

"I don't know," Liam shrugged, "I kinda thought you already had an idea."

Instead of responding back, Theo hit Liam across the head.

"If you wanna be Scott's beta, you gotta be able to come up with some stuff instead of waiting for him to do the work."

"Thank you captain obvious," Liam groaned as he pressed his fingers against the hit.

They both went inside the school to investigate what was going on as the two didn't really know what they were really up against.

"Theo, over here!" Liam beckoned Theo towards the classroom filled with mice. It was a sight that was disorienting. Mice came from all directions causing Theo to have goosebumps all over his arms.

No one knew what was coming. And yet he knew. Fear.

"Why is this happening to us?" A girl inside the room shrieked as she held onto her head.

"Let's go in," Liam pushed the door, but Theo blocked his arm and held it firmly. They made eye contact with each other, daring their opinions to override the other.

"If you do that, those mice will get out. Is that what you want? A manifestation of teenagers out of their minds?"

"Well do you have a better idea?"

"Yeah." But then Theo's mind went back to Malia. Was she okay? Was she in the room?

Liam noticed Theo's grip on his arm had loosened. His eyes peered through the door searching for someone.

"Who are you looking for? Scott is in there. He probably knows what to do,"

A sense of relief washed through him since he didn't pick up her scent in the room. But then his phone buzzed distracting himself from the situation in front of him.

Meet at my house. Need to talk. –M

Adrenaline coursed through his veins when he realized who had texted him. It was like a sweet dream come true. There was this odd feeling that Theo felt whenever she texted him. He just knew he was a goner when he had kissed her.

Instead of showing off his true feelings, Theo masked his emotions and stared at Liam with the best serious face he could muster.

"I gotta be somewhere. Good luck fixing that," Without waiting for a response, Theo ran out the door towards his truck eager to get to Malia's house.

"Do you think I should go to Paris or Italy?" Malia said to Lydia who was perched upright in Malia's bed. They hadn't had much to do for the day, and things were pretty dull lately. Not much action. It had practically been days since Malia had seen Theo. She figured he had much on his mind lately. Usually, he would never respond back to her texts.

It made her suddenly question their relationship. Maybe he had confessed his feelings out of impulse? Then again it didn't sound like Theo at all. He was usually cold and calculating, thinking of his next move, somewhat like a snake.

"Italy," Lydia said staring at the computer screen. "There's a cheaper flight if you go to Rome next week."

"What do you mean next week? I wanna do it now while I still can."

"Okay, so I'll book one round trip ticket from here to RFA airport,"

"Wait! Can you book two? I mean..." Even though it seemed that Theo and she had been pretty distant lately, she actually wanted to talk things out like telling him how she really feels about him instead of beating around the bush as she's notorious for doing.

"Wow, Malia I didn't know you were so generous to let me come with you," Lydia's expression turned to one of shock.

"It's not for you. My dad wants to come with. You know like a family getaway," More like baecation.

"Well that will be fun,"

"But before you book the ticket, is there any flight to France that's cheap?"

"Nope,"

"C'mon! I wanna see the Eiffel Tower, and meet some French guys!" Malia paced back and forth.

"Italy it is!" Lydia quickly clicked the "confirm" button so that Malia had no way of changing her mind.

"Why did you do that?"

"Maybe instead of looking for French guys, you'll look for Italian ones. Plus I heard the food there is amazing!"

Malia's phone chimed. Usually, whenever someone other than Theo texted her, she never responded back. Either she had no time or was too lazy to type.

Today was different.

I'm on my way- T

Once her eyes landed on the text, her heart suddenly burst with excitement and fear. It had been a while since they last saw each other. And yet so many different emotions came flooding to her.

What are we going to talk about?

Does he even want to talk to me?

Questions were clouding her mind.

"Malia, you okay?" Lydia approached her with concern. Ever since Allison died and Kira was preoccupied, Lydia turned to Malia for some girl time. Usually, she knew whenever there was something off. She was a banshee for crying out loud.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just realized Peter will be coming over to talk about something alone," Malia lied through her teeth.

"Oh, should I go?" Lydia didn't know why she was lying. Maybe she was doing it for a good reason. Or maybe Peter was coming over to bond with his daughter.

"Yeah, I'll text you," Malia hurried Lydia out the door and slammed it leaning against it for support.

You better come over, Raeken or I'll definitely punch the shit out of you.
