Scotts knees bounced as he sat at his desk in class. Nova looked over at him concerned, but he just gave her a tight lipped smile.

"If Derek's not the Alpha, if he's not the one who bit you, then who did it?" Stiles whispered to Scott.

"I don't know," Scott shrugged.

"Did the Alpha kill the bus driver?"

"I don't know."

"Does Allison's dad know about the--"

"Oh, my god, Stiles, he doesn't know!" Nova shouted. Everyones heads whipped towards her. She just sighed and sank into her seat. She perked up when her test score was dropped on her desk. "A 'B?' Eh, better than I thought I would do."

"Dude, you need to study more," Stiles told Scott when he saw his low score. "That was a joke."

"Scott, it's one test. You're gonna make it up," Nova said, reaching across the aisle to place a hand on his arm. "Do you want help studying?"

"No," Scott sighed. "I'm studying with Allison after school today."

"That's my boy," Stiles smirked.

"You're a pig," Nova told her brother, scoffing.

"We're just studying," Scott said.

"Uh-uh. No, you're not."

"I'm not?"

"Not if I'm forced to live vicariously through you. If you go to her house today and squander that colossal opportunity, I swear to god I'll have you de-balled," Stiles told him.

"Okay," Scott said, getting annoyed. "Just stop with the questions, man."

Nova stood at her locker reapplying her god awful mascara that never seemed to last. Suddenly she felt a presence and opened her locker more so they good be seen in the mirror. Isaac Lahey stood behind, nervously.

"Isaac, right?" Nova smiled as she turned around.

"You know my name?" Isaac asked, surprised. Nova just laughed.

"I know the name of anyone on the lacrosse team or has even tried out for the lacrosse team. My brother is a huge gossip so it's necessary information. Anyways, what can I do for you?"

"How good are you at Science?"

"You need help with Science?"

"Big time," Isaac laughed.

"Uh, my house. Tonight, say, 6?" Nova asked.

"I'll be there."

And with that, Isaac Lahey walked away, taking Nova's heart with him.

"I have someone coming over tonight," Nova told Stiles as they got into his Jeep.

"Does Dad know?" Stiles asked, starting the car.

"No and he's not going to know."

"Oh, my god. You're sneaking a boy over."

"It's to study, Stiles," Nova defended.

"What was the conversation I just had this morning with Scott about studying?" Stiles said, turning in his seat to look at her.

"I'm not gonna sleep with him," Nova scoffed. "It's studying and strictly studying but Dad doesn't need to know because he would kill me if he caught wind that a boy that wasn't Scott was in my room."

Stiles just sighed and backed out of the parking spot, whipping the car around just ready to get home. Suddenly, Derek ran out in front of the car.

"Holy shit! He looks half dead!" Nova shouted. Suddenly, Derek fell to the ground. Scott ran over to help the other two.

"What are you doing here?" Scott asked Derek.

"I was shot," Derek said.

"Uh, he's not looking so good," Nova said, making Derek weakly glare at her. "Why isn't he healing?"

"I can't," Derek told her. "It was a different kind of bullet."

"Silver bullet?" Stiles asked.

"No, you idiot."

"Wait. That's what she meant when she said you had 48 hours," Scott said.

"What? Who said 48 hours?"

"The one who shot you."

"What are you doing?" Nova whispered harshly to Derek when his eyes turned a bright blue. "Stop it."

"That's what I'm trying to say. I can't."

"Derek, get up," Scott said. "Help me put him in your car."

Nova helped Scott get Derek up and into the backseat.

"I need you to find out what kind of bullet they used," Derek told Scott through the window as Nova crawled into the back with him to keep an eye on his condition.

"How the hell am I supposed to do that?" Scott asked.

"She's an Argent. She's with them."

"Why should I help you?"

"Because you need me."

"Fine. I'll try," Scott sighed before turning to Stiles. "Hey, get him out of here."

"I hate you for this so much," Stiles said.

"So what's getting shot like?" Nova asked Derek as they drove off. He just glared at her.

"Try not to bleed out on my seats, okay? Or my sister," Stiles said. "We're almost there."

"Almost where?" Derek asked.

"Your house," Nova told him.

"What? No, you can't take me there," Derek said, his head snapping up.

"I can't take you to your own house?" Stiles asked.

"Not when I can't protect myself."

Stiles sighed and abruptly pulled over, turning in his seat to face Derek.

"What happens if Scott doesn't find your little magic bullet? Are you dying?"

"Not yet. I have a last resort."

"What last resort?" Nova asked. She gagged as he pulled his sleeve up to show the wound. "Oh, god. What is that?"

"Ugh, is that contagious?" Stiles asked. "You know what, you should probably just get out."

"Start the car. Now," Derek demanded.

"I don't think you should be barking orders with the way you look. In fact, I think if you wanted to, I could probably drag your little werewolf ass out into the middle of the road and leave you for dead."

"Start the car, or I'm gonna rip your throat out with my teeth," Derek told Stiles, leaning over Nova to get closer to him. Stiles sighed and started the car.

Nova left Stiles in charge of Derek so she could make it home in time for her study date.

"Hey, sorry," Nova said when she walked up to her house and saw Isaac waiting for her on the porch. "I got caught up in my brothers bullshit."

"You're all good," Isaac told her as he followed her inside the house. He took off his shoes at the front door and followed her up into her room. "Cute room."

Nova laughed, "Thanks, I try." She flopped down on her bed, patting the side next to her for Isaac. "We'll get to books in a minute, just give me a moment to not kill myself after everything that happened this afternoon." She opened her eyes and turned her head to see Isaac laying right next to her, already staring at her. "Do you really need help with Science or were you just trying to get into my room?"

"I do need help with Science but this could be whatever you want it to," Isaac muttered, eyes flicking between her lips and her eyes.

"Fuck it, right?" Nova whispered before pressing her lips against his. He breathed in quickly and kissed back, his hand going down to her waist and rolling her over so he held himself over top of her. His hand trailed down to her hip, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"You okay?" Isaac asked, pulling away.

"I'm amazing," Nova smiled, pulling his lips back down to hers. Isaac pulled away again suddenly and took his shirt off as he strattled Nova's hips. She sat up slightly and, with his assistance, her shirt came off and was flung somewhere in her room. She giggled as he pressed his lips to her neck.

Suddenly, the sound of the front door closing snapped Nova out of her bliss.

"Stiles? Nova? You guys home?" Noah Stilinski called as he walked in the front door.

"Shit!" Nova hissed. She pushed Isaac off and her and quickly went to find her shirt. She tossed Isaac his as she put her own back on. "Hide. My dad will kill you if he knows you're in here."

Isaac gave her a smirk before lowering himself to the ground and finding his hiding place under her bed.

"Hey, Dad!" Nova said, opening her door to reveal her father about to knock.

"Hey. Where's your brother?" Noah asked/

"No idea," Nova shrugged.

"You're all out of breath, you okay?"

"Oh, yeah! I'm fine. Was just working out, ya know?"

"Alright, well I'll leave you to it."

Nova let out a breath of relief when she closed her door and he walked away. A shirtless Isaac rolled out from under her bed and gave her a charming smile. She walked over to him and lifted her arms to wrap about his neck. She furrowed her brows when she noticed a small scar on his shoulder.

"Where did this come from?" Nova asked, tracing it. He flinched away from her touch causing her to give a concerned look.

"It's nothing," Isaac said, giving her a smile. "Uh, Science?"

"Yeah, right. Um, where do you want to start?"

so obviously isaac wont be a big chracter until season 2 but since hes one of nova's love interests it felt right to give them a little spicy history. fyi, if you're looking for smut in this book you're not gonna find it. sorry i just don't write it but there will be some "spicy" moments like the one above.
