Mateo sat awkwardly in Coach's office the night after the game, he had tried out and Coach asked for Mateo to meet him during his free period.

Coach walked in and sat down, looking mysterious- well, trying to.

"I was impressed by your skills" Coach said, placing his hands on his desk, before holding his hands together like he was praying "Please join our team, everyone sucks, except for McCall and Jackson"

"Uhm" Mateo frowned, slightly tilting his head "Yeah, Coach. I wouldn't have tried out if I didn't want to join"

"Oh! Thank you" Coach said "There's gear in your locker, you'll need to buy a lacrosse stick but for time being-" Coach said pulling a lacrosse out from thin air "This is yours"

"Thanks, Coach" Mateo smiled genuinely

"Now get out" Coach waved him off

Mateo cleared his throat and grabbed his bag and his lacrosse stick and walked out of the office, he jumped when he saw Scott and Stiles waiting eagerly by the door "¡Mierda!!"

"Did you make it?"

"Are you on the team?"

"Please tell me you're on the team"

"Guys!" Mateo yelled over them, cutting them off "I made it, I'm on the team"

"Oh" Stiles placed a hand on his chest "Thank god"

"Good!" Scott smiled "Our team sucks"

Mateo chuckled and continued to walk to his locker as the other two followed behind him "Hey, Scott?" Mateo asked

"Yeah" Scott caught up to him

"I've heard a rumor that an Argent goes to school here" Mateo said, opening his locker "Is it true?"

Scott looked to Stiles before nodding his head "Yeah, her names Allison. She's in the library, why?"

"I need to talk to her about something" Mateo said, closing his locker and walking away

Leaving Scott and Stiles standing in the middle of the hall, confused

Mateo walked into the library and immediately found Allison. She was sitting by herself and was reading a book while copying notes.

Mateo threw his bag on the ground and sat across from her, Allison jumped slightly and dropped her pen "Uhm"

"Hi" Mateo smiled widely "I'm Mateo, Allison, right?"

"How do you know my name?" Allison asked, closing her book

"Scott told me" Mateo shrugged "I don't want to hurt you or anything, because I know it wasn't your fault, but I do have some warning if you do something like what your family did when I was 8, I will kill you"

"I'm sorry" Allison chuckled uncomfortably "I don't know what you're talking about"

"That's fine" Mateo waved her off "I'm just asking, are you like your aunt? Or your grandfather?"

"No!" Allison yelled earning glares from the other students "No" She repeated with a quieter voice

"Okay!" Mateo smiled brightly "Anyway, let's start over. I'm Mateo Rodriquez, it was nice to meet you. I'm sorry if I gave off the wrong impression. But I have to go now"

Before Allison could get a change to answer, Mateo was already out the door. As he walked out of the library, he mentally cursed himself for being so weird to Allison

"I will kill you?" He said to himself "Who the fuck says that?"

"Says what?"

"Ahh!" Mateo jumped, but he calmed down once he saw Maeve "God, do you and your brother have some creepy genetics where you sneak up on the people?"

"Sorry" Maeve chuckled "I just saw you coming out of the library and I wanted to talk to you"

"Why?" Mateo asked immediately, as soon as he realized what he had just said, his eyes widened "Oh, I didn't mean it like that, I-"

"It's okay" Maeve smiled, clutching her books to her chest "I saw you in chemistry today and I just thought you might need a tutor"

"Oh, so you could definitely tell I was struggling" Mateo laughed, as the two walked over to an empty bench

"Oh yeah" Maeve laughed as she sat down across from Mateo "So, what do you struggle with?"

"Everything" Mateo said shamefully

"Wow" Maeve mumbled "Okay, we can work with that. Do you want to study at my house or yours?"

"Whatever suits you, I mean if we go to mine, my little sister will annoy you about being a witch, she's a witch too, so doesn't know any other witches" Mateo rambled but was cut off by Maeve's laugh

"It's okay. Your house is fine, I'd be happy talking to your sister, but I've only been a witch for a couple of months" Maeve said

Mateo shrugged "Elena's been a witch all her life, but she's only 13"

"Your house it is then" Maeve smiled, taking Mateo's phone off the table "I'm putting in my number so you can text me your address"

"Okay" Mateo nodded, watching her type her number, she handed him back his phone and picked up her bag "I'll see you this afternoon"

"Yeah" Mateo smiled as she walked away

"Bella, I'm in love" Mateo said, sitting in his truck in the school parking lot "So in love"

"A girl gave you attention, huh?" Isabela chuckled over the phone

"Yep" Mateo answered with a nod "But she's beautiful, and she's nice, and funny, oh, and she's coming over to tutor me in chemistry"

"What? Matt, you're amazing at chemistry" Isabela said with a confused laugh

"I know" Mateo replied "But it gives me a reason to hang out with her, so"

"You're pathetic" Isabela laughed "Look, I gotta go. I'll see you when you get home"

"Yes I am, I'll see you in 10 minutes" Mateo said, hanging up the phone and pulling out of the parking lot

꧁ঔৣ☬✞ ~~~~~~ ✞☬ঔৣ꧂

Mateo ran frantically around his room, cleaning up and making his room look presentable. Elena and Isabela watched in amusement

"I haven't seen him this spastic over a girl since Amy" Elena mumbled to Isabela who nodded in agreement

"So, Matt. Do we have to be cautious about using our abilities in front of her? Or does she know?" Isabela asked, leaning against the door frame

"She knows" Mateo answered as he rapidly picked up his dirty clothes and threw them in the basket "She's a witch"

"Really?" Elena asked in excitement, earning a glare from Mateo

"Yes, and for the love of god, do not bombarde her with questions"

Elena let out an offended gasp "I would never" she said sarcastically and walked away

"Bella?" Mateo asked throwing his hands around at the spot Elena used to be standing

"Yeah, yeah" Isabela groaned and walked off to talk to Elena
