surprise bitch, bet you never thought i'd get to this!

[ the shit always hits the fan. even though cory's stayed out of trouble for a good few months, playing the part of being a normal kid in a school where nothing horrible happens, it soon follows him in the form of his brother. when he'd left beacon hills, he thought he had also left that shitty town and its luck for luring monsters and other dangerous people inside its walls. but he's starting to think it's just his fucking luck it's a hale thing. wherever derek goes, shit lingers — and cory's now a target for something he doesn't understand. ]

[ after being greeted home with nail scratches embedded so deeply in the front door of his apartment, cory's confirmed the previously dead kate argent is back. and he suspects if she can't catch derek, a wolf not even his own little brother can hunt successfully, then she'll take it out on him. he's always been an easier target — easier to rile, easier to track, easier to make everyone believe he's dead. ]

[ he doesn't bother with the usual trying to stir her up by being overly flirtatious and blunt in his messages. things with natalie are weird, at best. he can always smell her on him. ]

At rehearsal?

i forgot i made this comment??

[clearasil]

[ It's ... weird.

Natalie is, by all accounts, a good girl with mostly good intentions. She is at the top of the class, an uncertified genius, ready to bust out of this town with her ex-turned-best-friend Henry at her side. When mom left and it was just her and dad in that big, echoey house, it was difficult to fill the spaces, but they soon learned how to cope. Natalie herself has learned to turn on the light and bring some levity to the situation.

Which, perhaps, might go hand in hand with getting in touch with that oft-suppressed darker nature of hers. Whatever she has going on with Cory has been under the radar for quite some time now, though it's difficult to mask the dumb grin on her face whenever they get into their usual texting conversations. Today, she's just leaving piano lessons, deciding to walk instead of taking her car. ]

Leaving piano right now. what's up?

shot thru the heart.

[resign]

[ she keeps a schedule that's easier to track than any scent. he knows she's at piano. he knows where she'll be at almost any given time. it sounds borderline stalking given the books the girls in the school tend to read and fawn over, but he's found that it helps. given his life is almost on par with edward cullen's, he thinks it's not all that bad that he knows she's a girl who is good at keeping to a roster and being on time. ]

[ and there's always that habit of hers where she decides to swing by his place, even though it's a little out of the way. ]

Don't come over.

[ it'd be easier to write don't come near me, but that'd earn about ten more questions than this stupid text will. ]

[clearasil]

[ Natalie doesn't hate Bella Swan. It's more that she regrets that this girl, who is a less sharp and acerbic version of herself, had to come from the mind of Stephanie Meyer. To some degree, she can at least acknowledge the state of this "relationship" and how Cory knows her schedule better than she does sometimes.

Of course, Natalie does tend to function like clockwork. Perhaps it is no more obsessive than the way she constructs her own life.

The change makes her pause, adjusting the strap of her bag and peering curiously at her phone. Her mouth wrinkles and she begins to type her response. ]

Wtf why?

Are you ok?

[resign]

Yes.

[ the concise texts are often saved for derek. leave me alone. i don't care. fuck off. derek may have ensured cory found the members of the pack that had taken care of him for the six years he was presumed dead, but he had ditched him, breaking his promise they'd be a family again the moment someone from beacon hills cried jaguar wolf. it's because of lydia he even knows kate's alive. and it's because of the banshee he knows she's in town. ]

[ but it's easier to deter natalie if he's not giving her a text full of detail, of any emotion she can pick up. it's the latter he's been good at stripping away from his own messages. it's the former he's made a habit of giving her without realising it. one word, three letters — it's better than not replying at all. ]

[clearasil]

[ It seems appropriate to let the subject drop and that it's time for her to take the hint and simply let him go and do his own thing instead of meeting up with her like she had assumed. It had never been a problem in the past and she doesn't take well to abrupt changes in her personal schedule. ]

Are you busy or do you just not want to see me?

[ It isn't meant to be a sensitive message. She just wants a straight answer from him, something beyond three letters. Her feet stay planted on the ground as she gently rests her bag next to her canvas sneakers. ]

[resign]

[ he erases i'm busy. he erases i don't want to see you. he erases simply repeating yes to give her nothing to go on. ]

Look, there's no point in coming over.

[clearasil]

[ Well then. Natalie makes a face at the screen of her phone and holds back a slew of profanities out loud ant towards him, somehow incredibly irritated by a short exchange. ]

Fine. I'm going home if you don't want to hang out.

[resign]

Fine.

[ it's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't. explaining it to someone outside of beacon hills who doesn't know the hale name and the tragedy tied to it is something he's torn about — he wants to remain anonymous within a town that doesn't look at him with pity and he wants to sometimes push her so far away by revealing he's hunted like a wolf by people who are difficult to even begin explaining. it's easier to depend on the former, given it requires little digging and truth-telling. ]

I'll see you in a week.

[clearasil]

[ Her thumbs hover over the keypad and she's caught between giving up way too easily and pressuring him with each urgent and touchy text message she sends. Of course, she reminds herself, he would have been long gone if her pushiness was such a turn off. ]

why can't you come over?

[resign]

You want me to come over?

[ he's incredulous. he pushes her away and she chooses to pull him in instead. where he thinks a week is a good buffer — derek will eventually hear news of kate loitering around his kid brother — he hadn't expected her to be even warm to the idea of him lingering. ]

[clearasil]

well duh. I thought I was going to see you this afternoon.

[ As minor as the admission is, it doesn't sit well in her stomach because she doesn't often let on that she actually wants someone to come in closer. ]
