“I don’t know, you look like you might want to bite,” she teased back gently. When he grabbed her wrist, she realised he was the same Isaac underneath, and her shoulders relaxed. Looking at his new friends, her gaze lingered on Scott for a moment, as she also realised she recognised him. He worked at the vet’s where she took her cat.
She ducked her face into Isaac’s shoulder when he laughed at her, and offered a proper smile in response. “I didn’t mean to interrupt anything, only you winked at me!” She pretended to be faintly outraged, then nudged him in the ribs. “Are you going out for the lacrosse team this year?”
“Just ‘cause I got about a half dozen tattoos over the summer doesn’t mean I’m gonna hurt you!” Isaac chuckled; he was joking but serious in every way. He really cared for her, since she was one of the only people who accepted him before the bite. It wasn’t like they were the best of friends, just companions. Acquaintances even. All he knew was that he cared for her.
Her slight outrage made him laugh a little louder, trying to fake an angry face and shake a stern finger at her, but the smile couldn’t fade from Summer’s actions. “Well, then, I guess I’ll have to stop winking at you! That’s gonna be hard when you look so pretty…” The beta was flirting with her, casually, but the intentions were still true. The nudge to Isaac’s side made him jump slightly, but only out of shock that she had done it. She really had changed over the summer, even if it was just the slightest. Not to mention, she looked pretty freaking hot.
“Hell yeah, I’m doing lacrosse! I’m really hoping to make first line this year. Hopefully the whole pink hair thing will be gone by then. I mean it’s almost already gone, see?” Isaac acted surprised that she didn’t already know, but told her all the same. At the mention of his hair, he ran his fingers through his curls so that the blonde and brown strands showed up clearly.
“They do make you look quite fierce, though,” Summer pointed out, about the tattoos. “Like you ride a motorcycle to school. Do you?
“I like you winking at me, though.” She blushed slightly at the compliment. “Thank you,” she murmured, then reached up on tiptoes and ruffled his hair, making the curls spring, and giggled at him. “But it’s cute, and it’ll be under your helmet anyway. You’re going to cut it again too, aren’t you?” Again she pouted, making big eyes at him, then lost it in another giggle.
“I’ll come and cheer for you, okay?”
