Eli crossed his arms as he angrily stared out the window. "Eli, I'm sorry I dragged you out of bed."
Silence. "E?"
More silence.
Stiles sighed. Eli was still not talking to him. He pulled up at Scott's house. "I'm gonna get Scott, don't go anywhere." Eli didn't bat an eye. Stiles knew he would have to make it up to him somehow. Eli was normally a happy person, an angry Eli meant no one was happy. Eli watched Stiles' silhouette disappear.
"Stupid Stiles." He mumbled. He was going to pay for ruining his beauty sleep.
Although he was already gorgeous. "You know what I'm leaving." He opened the door and prepared to leave but immediately hopped back in as soon as a drop of water touched him. He glared outside. He wasn't even sure when it started raining. The universe was totally against him as always. He was pulled out his thoughts when he heard the door open. He shot Scott a knowing look. "Hi Scott." Scott ignored Stiles mutter of"Oh you talk to him but not me."
He chuckled. "Hi Eli. He got you to huh?" Stiles drove until they reached an area just outside the woods. Eli leaned back in the seat, he closed eyes before opening the slowly. "Take me home Stilinski." He calmly breathed out. Stiles frowned.
"What? Why?"
Eli scowled. "There's no way in God I'm going out in the woods in the rain to look for a dead body."
"Half." Scott put in. Eli glanced at him. "What?" Stiles shot Scott a look that said "Shut up"
"Stiles said that they only found half of the body." Eli raised an eyebrow. "Which half?" Scott shrugged. Eli laughed without any real humor, he ran a hand through his multi-colored hair.
"I need better friends." Scott and Stiles got out the car but Eli made no move to follow. "You two can go and play in the woods. I'll be fine right here." Scott pat Stiles shoulder sympathetically while the brown haired boy pouted. They ran off into the woods, Scott screaming for Stiles to wait up.
After 5 minutes, Eli was bored. He couldn't help that he had a short attention span, it was a trait that ran in his family. "Maybe I should have gone with them." "My mom would kill me if she found out I was out late before the first day of school, " He rolled over his eyes. "Nah, she'd probably stay out with me." He sighed dramatically. "I'm so bored, it's half a goddamned body, why is it taking them so long." Suddenly something rammed into the side of the jeep. Eli yelped as the jeep slightly tipped over before crashing back down.
"I'm not ready to die yet!" He exclaimed. He had so much to do in life!
When he got over his initial shock, he scanned the damage. He swore. The window was shattered. Stiles would have a heart attack if he sees his "baby" in such a condition. He took a deep breath, he held his hands up to the window. They glowed a faint bubblegum pink and one by one the shattered pieces merged together. He tapped the glass to make sure it stayed intact. He scanned around the area to try to see what hit him or if anybody had seen what he just did. He snorted, only crazy people would be in the woods this time of night. The thing had to be big if it tipped the jeep over.
His heart jumped when a pair of ice blue eyes similar to his own appeared from seemingly nowhere. He saw a flash of fear in them before they vanished. He covered his eyes as a light flashed onto him.
He gave Sheriff Stilinski a sheepish smile. "Hey buddy."
The Sheriff was holding one Stiles Stilinski by his ear. "Wanna tell me why you're out so late?" He tried to look as innocent as possible while thinking of an excuse.
"Sight seeing?" He mentally kicked himself, that sounded like question not an answer! The Sheriff raised an eyebrow.
"You know I'm going to have tell Natalie about this, right?"
Eli's eyes widened. "No! You can't, then she'll call my mom!" He could not get in any more trouble. His mom was looking for a reason to bring Eli home, he wasn't ready to go home anytime soon. Stiles smirked. Eli narrowed his blue eyes and smacked him.
"Shut up." Stiles held the spot where Eli had hit him in pain. " I didn't even say anything!" The multi-colored pointed an accusing finger at him. "But you were thinking it." The Sheriff pinched the bridge of his nose. "Stiles take Eli home. We'll have a talk of our own about privacy when I get back tomorrow."
Stiles climbs in the jeep and starts driving away. It donned to Eli that Scott wasn't with them. "Where's Scott?" "Back there." "You left him in the woods?!" "It was either that or let my dad know he was there." He gave Eli a pointed look.
" He probably wouldn't even be calling Lydia's mom if you had come with us. A little rain never hurt anyone."
"Piss off. I wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't basically kidnapped me! Who does that anyway!" He pretended to think, "Oh wait, Stiles Stilinski of course." Stiles gripped the steering wheel."
It figures when you actually start talking to me, it's to yell at me. You need to live a little." Eli mouth dropped into in "O" shape.
"Excuse me, but I'm the life the party!" He huffs. " Just because I don't go looking for dead bodies and hang around in smelly old jeeps, does not mean I don't know how to have fun."
Stiles gasped.
"This jeep is my life and the only thing that matters to me!" Eli rolled his eyes, Typical teenage boy, obsessed with his car. He didn't see the point.
"It's a piece of trash Stiles."
"Um, I don't know if you noticed, but this "piece of trash" is currently shielding you from the rain."
"The rain doesn't scare me!" Stiles paused to look at him before turning back to the road." Don't give me that look, the rain doesn't scare me. I just don't like being touched by it, my hair doesn't mix well with rain. Especially after it dries, it gets all poofy." He grabbed one of his green locks and shuddered at the thought. "It takes hours to get it back to normal."
"If it's so important, than why highlight it? I doubt you popped out the womb with green highlights." Stiles snorted at the thought of such a thing. The question however silenced Eli. He attempted to regain his composture and scoffed. "That's none of your business Stilinski. FYI, I popped out of the womb drop dead gorgeous." He smirked. "I can't say the same for you though."
"We can't all be bomb shell blondes!" Eli patted his shoulder mockingly.
"That's rough buddy."
"You can still walk." Eli held his hands up in surrender.
The rest of the ride was silent.
Eli's morning took a rather unexpected turn. He was shocked to find himself waking up on the ceiling. He searched around for something that he could use to pull himself to the ground when without warning his body detached itself from the ceiling.
There was a knock on the door. "Eli," Lydia called out. " I hope you're up or I'm leaving you." "Give me a second Lyds." Eli felt a wave of relief when heard her foot steps disappear down the steps. He and Lydia had become quite close over the last two years. The strawberry blonde had yet to see him perform magic, but if he didn't find out a way to control his magic,
She would soon enough.
It took him ten minutes to pick out the perfect first day of school outfit. He checked himself over in the mirror, he was wearing a simple form fitting hoodie, a blue t-shirt, pink skinny jeans, and a pair of pink converses from his many collection of shoes. So, he had a shoe obsession, who cares? He grabbed his favorite fedora off his bed and gently placed it on his head. " I'm one sexybeast."
" You have two minutes before you have to walk to school!"
"You can't rush perfection Lyds." Eli replied walking down stairs, he pushed a stray piece of hair out his face. A small smile crossed Lydia's face. Eli was one of the thngs that brightened her day in this boring town.
Eli offered her his arm. "Shall we?"
Lydia shook her head, her soft curls bouncing, and interwind her arm with his. The two headed out the door laughing.
