I do not own these characters. This takes place after 3a but before 3b

Allison sat in math class on the opposite side of the class from him. She looked over at Scott and remembered the days when there was no other place she wanted to be than sitting in the seat behind him. Everyday she hated herself for doing what she didn't want to but also applauded herself for doing what she had too. Even though they've been broken up for some time now, Allison still dreamt of the days when her and Scott were together and happy. Allison snapped out of her trance when the bell rang for her to go to lunch. She grabbed her bags and began to walk to the lunchroom.

As she walked in she saw Lydia sitting at their usual table checking her makeup in the mirror. Allison smiled and sat across from Lydia," Your makeup is fine."

Lydia put the mirror away and smiled," I know but it never hurts to be sure." Lydia then looked up at Allison and instantly noticed something was troubling her friend." Allison what's wrong?"

Allison knew she couldn't hide how she felt from her best friend. She shook her head and frowned," I just don't think I can do this. Seeing him everyday and trying to stay away from him it's just to hard."

Lydia nodded," You don't have to stay away from him. There is such a thing as being just friends."

"I know and I hope to get to that point, but I don't want to send him the wrong message," Allison said and out her head down.

"You know what?" Lydia asked and Allison lifted her head up." Lets take a trip. My family owns a beach house on the coast a few hours from here."

Before Allison could reply, Stiles, who was passing by and heard the suggestion stopped and sat at their table." You can't go alone," He said.

"And why not?" Allison asked him.

"You need protecting. It's a dangerous world out there," He said and smiled. He'd be lying if he said part of the reason he wanted to go was to see Lydia in a bikini, but for the most part his intentions were pure.

Lydia raised her eyebrow," I'm not sure you'll be much protection, but come along if you want."

Stiles smiled," Great we can take my jeep. I'll meet you guys here at the school so we can leave." Stiles said before getting up and walking over to Scott.

"You're really going to let Stiles come along?" Allison asked curiously. She liked Stiles but she was confused on why Lydia let him come.

Lydia shrugged," Maybe we do need protection and besides he volunteered to drive the whole way there."

Allison smiled slyly and nodded," Is that the only reason?"

Lydia nodded trying not to show how she truly felt," You can wipe that smug look off your face its never going happen." Lydia wasn't embarrassed she liked Stiles, she was embarrassed to admit she liked him. All those years never giving him a chance and now she finally saw something more. Lydia hated the phrase 'I told ya so' and she wasn't going to hear it now.

A few hours after school Allison and Lydia waited in the parking lot waiting for Stiles." Do you mind if I ride shotgun?" Lydia asked.

"So you can sit by stiles?" Allison giggled a bit. Allison had seen how Jackson hurt Lydia and she wanted nothing more than to see her best friend with a nice guy and Stiles was one of the nicest around.

"I like to see the road ahead of me on road trips." Lydia snapped back. Of course she knew it was only a matter of time before Allison knew how she truly felt about Stiles, but she'd pretend as long as she could.

Soon Stiles drove up and got out of the jeep," I'll take your luggage ladies." He said a d took their bags to the jeep.

As Lydia was about to get in the passenger's seat she almost jumped at the sight of Scott sitting there. She marched over to Stiles as Scott got out of the car." What the hell is he doing here?" Lydia whispered to Stiles.

"You wanted real protection well what better than a werewolf?" Stiles replied not caring if Allison heard.

Lydia grabbed the collar of Stiles' shirt and pulled him closer," Listen here and listen well if this is some sort of delusional plan for Scott to win Allison back I swear to God I will make it to where you'll never be able to walk again." Lydia wasn't usually this protective of Allison but she knew she wasn't going to let Allison get hurt.

Being this close to Lydia all he could think about was how he wanted to kiss her. He gulped slightly as he looked into her eyes. She raised her eyebrows asking for a reply and Stiles blinked and shook his head before saying," I do like waking." Lydia rolled her eyes before letting go of his collar.

Meanwhile Scott and Allison stood awkwardly in front of the jeep. Scott knew Allison was coming so he came for the sole reason of protecting her." Allison I won't come if you don't want me too," he said finally.

Allison shook her head and forced a smile," No it's fine. There is no reason we can't be friends right?"

Scoot nodded and looked away slightly," Right. Friends."

Lydia then walked over to them," Scott you don't mind if I ride shotgun do you?" She asked just getting in the passenger seat anyway.

"I guess not no," He said slightly as he and the rest got in the car.

Stiles smiled," Next stop the beach! How about some road trip music?" He said as he pulled out of the parking lot.

Lydia shook her head," Stiles I'm going to be in charge of the music."

Stiles nodded," I'll be fine with whatever you pick."
