Chapter 7: [Chapter —7]
The first and second periods went as a blur to me, first and foremost was the fact that the first main cast member I had met was different from what I knew her to be.
Second was that she somehow figured out that I was a werewolf, instantly at that.
Almost as if she already knew about the supernatural, which I'm pretty sure she did as nothing else could explain otherwise.
What surprised me though was that she didn't hold any apparent dislike for me for being a werewolf, aside from when I first met her. She had warmed up to me quickly, which was also strange.
' It's times like these that I wish I had obtained a fucking Appraisal Ability or Skill right about now.' I thought as I made my way to stand up, the lunch bell had already rang.

Markus quickly made his way out of class, set on going to the library to see whether he could learn skills from books or not.
He wasn't confident in it working as he had tried with his English and Biology books already with no luck.
But seemingly as if the world decided to throw a curveball at him, he heard someone call out his name.
" Hey, Markus." A girl's voice said not that far from him causing him to look behind and low and behold, Allison and Lydia were walking up to him.
[— +1 Affection with Lydia for being Handsome.]
[— +1 Affection with Lydia for being Physically Attractive.]
Markus felt like scoffing as he saw those notifications.
' Being handsome really is a cheat code huh?'
" Hey, Allison and...." He greeted Allison before focusing on Lydia.
" Lydia, Lydia Martin's." She said holding out her hand for Markus, he slowly reached out and shook it before focusing back on Allison.
" Do you need something?" He asked whilst tilting his head right.
" Me and Lydia were about to get something to eat, and get to know each other, want to come?"
Markus paused as he weighed the suggestion, on one hand, he would get in with the McCall group but on the other hand, he'd be wasting some valuable time to get stronger quicker.
[—Ding! The Evil Incarnate Blessing has Activated!]
[—The Quest Function has been Partially Activated!]
[— Quest —]
—Description: You have been offered the chance to obtain a spot on the Main Cast of Teen Wolf, agree and do anything and everything in your power to inconvenience them in any way possible.
—Reward: Quest Function Fully Unlocked, New Skill—???]
' That's new...' Markus thought already numb to the surprises he got from his system, he hadn't even processed the fact that he died twice already so this was small in comparison.
" You know what, sure let's go." Markus Agreed with more enthusiasm.
" Awesome! Come on, we have a lot to talk about!" Lydia said grabbing Allison by the arm and leading the way.
Markus paused having noticed something right under Allison's sleeves, tattoos.
' This...just keeps getting more and more complicated.' He thought shaking his head before following behind them.

" So Markus, where did you live before coming to Beacon Hills?" Lydia asked as soon as they sat down, they sat at an empty table which was weird seeing as almost every other table was full.
' Clique laws maybe?' He wondered before focusing back on the girls who sat opposite to him.
" New York." Markus answered, pulling as much from his memories as he could from this life and filling in some gaps with what he could remember from his documents. " It's a loud city and I didn't have anything there so I decided to move here."
" Oh? And how do you like it here?" Allison asked joining in on more questioning.
" It's not bad, I've been here for a couple of days so not much to say." He answered her.
" Well then, in your last school did you perhaps play any sports?" Lydia asked as her eyes roamed at Markus' arms where muscle was apparent. He had worn a short-sleeved black shirt because he didn't have that many good quality clothes.
There were so few good quality clothes someone could buy with a few hundred after all.
" I played Tennis once, I had been pretty good too before I stopped due to being busy." He said lying through his teeth.
[— You've learnt: Lying[Lv-1/10]-]
' Neat.' He regarded the new addition to his skill list with little excitement, lying better would help him out a lot after all but lying wouldn't help him much against some of the threats lying in front of him.
" Oh, so you'd say that you're pretty good with a stick huh?" Lydia further said, her voice insinuating more than her words.
"*Cough**Cough*" It seemed that even Allison got the innuendo seeing as she was flushing and choking on yogurt.
Lydia seeing this chuckled before staring back at Markus.
" The question still stands." She said causing me to sigh as I munched on my sandwich.
" Yes Lydia, I'm more than proficient with sticks and balls." Markus answered before suddenly realizing what he had just said.
" Oh my." Lydia said looking smug while Allison hurried her face with her hands.
Markus also noticed the fact that Scott, Stiles and another had been listening in. More so that Scott and the other one sitting with them as Stiles was too far away to do so.
He saw as Scott suddenly choked on his beverage before his head whipped back, staring at the three all the while Markus stared deadpan at Lydia.
" You little...." Markus did not get to finish that sentence before sighing, he had walked right into that one so he had no one to be mad at besides himself.
[— +2 Affection with Lydia for being 'Fun'.]
" *Chuckle* Oh how kinky of you." Lydia said grinning from ear to ear." Then if you're so proficient as you say, how about trying out for the lacrosse team."
To that Markus had been about to refuse, he had not the time nor day.
" If you're so good then it won't matter what ball or stick you play with after all." She said swirling the milkshake she had while occasionally taking a sip flirtingly.
All while this was happening Allison watched as her 'friend' played around with the boy, she could see that he was a bit annoyed having not expected the sudden turn of events, she too was on the same boat in that.
But both of them had the same train of thought.
That was that Lydia was dangerous and manipulative to boot.
