The Discovery of Hidden Secrets

lycanthropelahey:

Isaac had made his excuses and he could only hope that she would believe them. He couldn’t explain his absence to be a family event (for he had none), or a Lacrosse game (for she would want to attend), so the only thing he could come up with was that of a study session with Scott and Stiles.

“Believe me, it’ll be boring. I’ll speak to you tomorrow though?” He’d compromised with a kiss, hoping that she wouldn’t be too mad at him for wanting a night off. Little did she know that he would actually be spending time with Scott, just not studying – they’d be running in the woods and being trained by Derek.

It didn’t really bother Summer that Isaac wanted to spend the evening studying. Exams were coming up, and even though they’d spent as much time as possible together over the last couple weeks, she was pretty sure if they tried to study together no actual studying would get done.

It did leave her rather at loose ends, though — /she/ didn’t study. Oh, she might spend an hour going back over some notes or chapters, but studying wasn’t something she ever really had done. Plus, half her classes had final papers instead of final exams, and those were all done.

After a little thought, she decided to take a walk. It had been a while since she’d rambled through the Preserve, and evening light ran late enough that she could be out there for a long time. Sometimes she just needed to be away from people.
