Chapter 2
You are my secret.
Malia and Leah stayed quiet for a moment and then Malia sighed.
"Oh alright" she mumbled, "But don't think you've gotten away with telling me about this."
"I wouldn't dream of it" Leah replied as she rolled her eyes. A few minutes later Leah was pulled from her train of thought as a familiar and smooth voice caught her ear.
"Ok guys I don't know about you but I'm starving" he said. Leah glanced over at him and swallowed nervously, trying to keep herself from saying something stupid.
"Then why don't you order a pizza or something?" Stiles replied as he looked over at Scott. "You good with that?"
"Do you even need to ask" Scott replied as he looked back over at Liam. "Go ahead and order, me and Stiles will pitch in to pay." Liam nodded and began typing in the number.
"I'm guessing you guys order from there often" Malia said as she sat down the notecard.
"What would make you think that?" Scott replied as he lifted an eyebrow at her.
"Well the fact that Liam just typed in the number faster than he would 911" she joked.
"Yeah fine we order from there often happy now Malia?" Stiles questioned as he set down his book.
"I thought I saw you putting on a little weight Stiles" Malia said as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Yeah very funny" Stiles said.
"No she might be right" Scott added as he looked worriedly at Stiles' stomach. "I am seeing a little something poking out from under your shirt."
"What?" Stiles questioned. He looked down urgently at his shirt, and to his relief saw it was as flat as it ever had been. He punched Scott in the arm.
"Hey! Don't hit me! Malia roped me into this whole thing" Scott started.
"Well it's a dam shame I can't hit girls isn't it Scott?" Stiles scoffed. Before they knew it they were rolling on the floor, play fighting.
"I got 10 bucks on Stiles" Malia spoke.
"Your so on" Leah said. Liam came back into the room and froze as he looked down at them.
"Wow I leave the room for 5 minutes and already miss out on the best thing I've seen all day" he joked as he sat down beside Leah. Even though they weren't touching Leah could feel her heart start to race.
"Yep, nice going Dunbar, all cause you weren't in here, there was no one to break up the fight" Malia said with a sigh.
"Oh, there's no way I'm getting in the middle of this" Liam chuckled. Malia waited for Leah to join in but she didn't and Malia only saw that same blush spread across her cheeks. Leah's light brown eyes were glancing at the ground. Malia sighed and shook her head. She quickly scooted closer until Leah was forced to be pushed into Liam. Liam looked over at her. Leah looked into his crystal blue eyes and remained staring, tongue tied. It was as if his gaze alone was enough to hold her there infinitely.
Malia stretched out her arm behind her head and knocked into Leah harder, this time, prompting her forward hard enough to make her and Liam knock heads.
"Oh I'm so sorry…" Leah started as she rubbed her head.
"No its fine" Liam said as he laughed a little and rubbed the spot on his head as well. "You're a freshman right?" he asked as if noticing her for the first time. Leah bit her lip nervously and met his eyes again.
"Yeah this is my first year at Beacon Hills High" she replied. "What about you?"
"Sophomore" he replied. "I was new as a freshman too."
"Oh cool" she replied. Their conversation was interrupted as Stiles got up from the floor and held out a hand to Scott.
"And that my friends is how you win a fight" Stiles said triumphantly.
"Yeah right you didn't win" Scott said. "I let you win."
"That's still winning in my book" Stiles replied.
"Yeah well your book is stupid" Scott said. The doorbell rang and Liam got up.
"I guess I should get that huh?" he said.
"I guess you should" Leah replied with a smile. He smiled back at her and went to go get it. Stiles hadn't noticed their exchange of looks, he was currently explaining his "book" to Scott. Liam carried up the pizza and paper plates and began handing them out. The group attacked the pizza and began eating, getting greasy hands all over their white pieces of paper. Leah found herself taking smaller bites as she stole a few glances over at Liam. She didn't know what it was about him. She didn't know whether to be angry at Malia for bumping her into him or grateful. She knew better then to act on her feelings; that only ever led to heartbreak. Especially when it came to popular lacrosse players like Liam Dunbar.
