THE CORNER BOOTH IN THE BACK
Author: Areiton
Summary: You serve them fries and milkshakes and the oldest, a dark brooding pretty thing who says maybe five words all night, snags the bill. When they leave, scattering as soon as they hit the door, you think you’ll never see a group that strange and pretty again.

Notes: I’m not usually one for 2nd person PoV, but the author does such a sympathetic job with the creation of the narrator that I was completely sucked in. It also helps that this is a rewriting of Season 2 where everyone lives and learns to build a pack together. Very, very satisfying. -S
Sneak Peek:
The first time you see them, you think they aren’t together. They’re standing separate, a crowd of seven beautiful teenagers who look like they have nothing in common aside from the fact that they had to have just walked off a photoshoot for leather and sex.
One of them catches your gaze--he’s tall and lanky and it hits you a second late that you know him, that you see him with the Sheriff sometimes, bullying the man into eating a salad, and babbling too fast about everything and nothing.
He’s doing it again, now, and you watch as he moves the crowd of strangers toward the corner booth in the back, and you kinda smile.
They look so pissed, being herded along by this scrawny kid in plaid with flailing hands and a too fast mouth.
