All weekend, I had worried about school on Monday. I wasn't sure how Daryl would behave now that we were so-called friends again. Would he be different? Would he be the same as he had been at my house this past weekend or would he play the role I'd watched him play for the past two years?

The Daryl I had watched from the sidelines.

The Daryl who looked through me like I was a pane of glass.

Binging on a marathon of Teen Wolf wasn’t the most productive way to spend a Friday night, but sadly it was one I had become accustomed to. Lacking in the popularity stakes, and with the only friend I had managed to acquire too busy fending off the advances of her stepbrother to hang out, I resigned myself to spending another weekend alone.

But to his absolute credit, and my immense surprise, Daryl approached me first thing on Monday morning. In fact, he did more than approach me; he was at my locker when I arrived, and had even walked me to my first class.

Being around him at school was weird and awkward and I felt on full display, but it was also kind of exciting.

At lunch, he and Rourke sat with us, with Mercy and Rourke treating us to a prequel of world war three, should they ever find themselves at the helm of power. Seriously, I had spent an hour listening to them arguing and I was more confused now than I had been when it started.

"He's a bastard," Mercy continued to rant as we walked to our lockers after our last class of the day. "I hate him, Molls. I mean it this time. I seriously freaking hate that –"

"Keep talking shit about me, Six," I heard Rourke call out from behind us. "You can make it up to me later."

"Are you done, asshole?" Mercy hissed back. "Because I sure as hell am."

"No!" Moments later, Rourke came bounding down the hallway, not stopping until he was chest to chest with my feisty friend. "As a matter of fact, I ain't fuckin' done!"

Still clearly furious with each other, the argument started right back up where they had left off in the cafeteria earlier, with Mercy producing an epic display of 'gun fingers' while she chewed him out.

Rolling my eyes, I stepped to one side and watched their unceremonious outburst, burying a snicker when Mercedes reached up and yanked on his school tie.

"Say it again and I'll choke you," she warned, pulling and yanking on his tie in her bid to cut off her stepbrother's air supply. "Don't fuck with me, prick."

Never one to back down from a challenge, Rourke reached around her and knotted his fist in her long, black ponytail.

"Keep it up, Six," he dared, tugging on her hair and forcing her face to tilt upwards. "And I'll make you scream louder than you did this morning," he said, smirking down at her. "Twice."

Deciding to leave them to their…well, whatever the hell that was, I walked out of school and headed for the student parking lot to where Mercy was parked.
