A few days later
Stiles was going through his locker when Derek walked up to him. "Hey Derek?" He said smiling over at him.
"Stiles?" Derek said leaning against the lockers. "Hey I wanted to thank you for doing this for me. I know that there are a million other things you'd rather be doing."
"I really don't mind." Stiles said. "But you wouldn't need a Tutor if you tried like you do with me. Do your parents know about you failing your classes?"
Derek sighed. "My Uncle is the only family I have. My parents died when I was six so it's just been us."
"I lost my mom when I was young as well." Stiles said. "She died of cancer so now it's just me and my dad."
"Are you close with your dad?" Derek asked.
"We got a lot closer after she died but now he's really overprotective." Stiles said. "Danny is the only friend I had who stuck around when my dad changed. He not only my best friend but he's like my brother."
Derek smiled. "Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful eyes?" He laughed when Stiles face turned red. "Awe I made you blush."
"You did not." Stiles said looking away from Derek.
Derek could still see the smile on his face though. "Hey I know we just met a few days ago but I was wondering if you wanted to maybe go out with me sometime."
Stiles closed his locker and faced Derek. He really did like Derek but he also knew that his dad would never let him go. "Um I don't think that's a good idea."
"And why is that?" Derek asked.
"I just can't." Stiles said looking down.
"That's fine." Derek said. "Then if I can't call you maybe I should just come by your house everyday until you agree to go out with me."
Stiles looked back up with a smile on his face. "Are you really going to do that?" Derek nodded. "Okay you can call me but I still can't go out with you nor can you come over my house." After giving Derek his number he saw Jackson looking at him from down the halls. "I'm sorry can you give me a minute." He walked over to Jackson who was smiling at him. "Jackson?"
"I wonder what your dad will think about you going out with someone on the verge of being expelled from school." Jacksons said crossing his arms.
"I'm not going out with him." Stiles said. "Mr. Harris asked me to tutor him to help bring up his grades."
"Really?" Jackson said. "Because it didn't look like you two were talking about school work. By the blush on your face it looks like you like him. I saw you give him your number too."
Stiles was about to say something else but Derek showed up next to him. "Stiles, is everything okay here?"
Jackson smiled. "Sure everything is fine, I was just talking to your little friend here." He looked back at Stiles. "Listen I have to be somewhere but I will surely be seeing you later Stiles." He pushed himself off the lockers. "Bye Derek." He said walking off.
Derek watched Jackson go then turned to Stiles who was looking down. "What's going on Stiles?"
Stiles started biting his lips. "I'm sorry." He said looking back up at Derek. "I really can't do this with you. It's not you trust me but this isn't the best time."
Derek nodded. "I understand but can we still talk and stuff because I really like you."
Stile wanted to say that he liked Derek to but he was too scared to actually say it. "I'll see you in free period." He said walking off.
Derek wanted to go after him but then decided not too. Instead he just went to class but even there he couldn't stop thinking about Stiles.
…...
Later that day
Jackson was busy eating his lunch when someone sat in front of him. "Um can I help you?" He asked.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Danny yelled. "What has Stiles ever done to you. He's the most sweetest guy ever and it's not his fault that his dad is crazy. He likes Derek and now you scared him off. I mean were you really going to tell his dad about Derek knowing how he is?"
"No I was just joking." Jackson said. "I didn't get a chance to tell him because Derek showed up. By the way who are you exactly?"
"Oh I'm Danny, a friend of Stiles." Danny said. "Now will you please tell him that you were joking?"
"Okay I will." Jackson said. "So are you dating anyone right now?"
Danny smiled. "No and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon." He got up from the table and walked off.
After school
Stiles was walking to his car when he saw Jackson leaning against it. He groaned. "Jackson please go away."
"Come on Stiles just give me a minute." Jackson said walking up to him. "I had a little conversation with your friend Danny in the lunchroom today."
"Well I didn't tell him to do that." Stiles said.
"No but he gave me an idea." Jackson said. "Give me your number and we can go out."
"God Jackson I'm not going out with you." Stiles said walking over to the drivers side of his car. "I don't even like you."
"I know you like Derek." Jackson said. "But your dad likes me right and I like your friend Danny."
"What, since when?" Stiles asked.
"Since he told me off in the lunchroom but that's not the point." Jackson said.
"So what are you saying then?" Stiles asked crossing his arms.
"We pretend to date each other." Jackson said. "That way I can see Danny and you can see Derek."
"That will never work." Stiles said. "Besides I told him that nothing could ever happen between us. He asked me out and I told him no. " He sighed. "You should have seen the way he was while we were studying. It was all awkward and all I wanted to do was get out of there." He opened his door. "Just drop it okay Jackson because I'm not going to see him anymore unless it related to school." He got into his car and drove off.
…...
That night Stiles was lying in his bed on his lab top when he heard a car pull into the driveway. Getting up and going over to the window he saw Derek getting out of his car. He ran downstairs and opened the door just before Derek could ring the doorbell. "Derek what are you doing here?" He was glad that his dad was in his room. "If my dad sees you here he's going to kill me. I told you not to come here."
"I know but you left in such a rush you left your phone." Derek held out Stiles phone. "I thought you might want it back."
"You could have gave it back tomorrow." Stiles said taking the phone from Derek.
Derek shrugged. "I wanted to see you." He said. "And maybe try and ask you out again. I know I might not be the most accomplished guy or anything but I really like you Stiles. Just let me take you out on one date. I promise that you will have a good time."
"Derek I told you I can't." Stiles said looking behind him.
"Okay then I guess I'll have to come by every night until you say yes." Derek said crossing his arms.
Stiles sighed and started biting his bottom. "Okay I'll think about it but there is something I have to do first.
Derek smiled "So then it's not a no then?"
Stiles shook his head. "It's not a no but can we please talk about this tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Derek said. "I'll see you tomorrow." He said walking off.
Once he was gone Stiles went back inside and up to his father's room. "Hey dad." He said walking into his room. "i was wondering if I could hang out with Jackson after school. We're going to work on some school work together."
"School work huh." Mr. Stilinski said. "I guess so but be back before curfew."
"Thanks dad." Stiles said leaving the room. Once he was safely in his room with his door closed he let out a huge breath. He heated lying to his dad but he was finally going to do something he wanted to do but first he had to talk to Jackson.
Next time...
Stiles has a hard time lying to his dad while Danny loses something he will never be able to get back, not that he would want to anyway.
