I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I thought back to that dream. It was me and Stiles holding hands and talking. It was a very simple dream but just so sweet. I really need to get over this crush if were ever going to be friends. I mean he likes someone else. Get over it. I went threw my morning routine. And just kept reminding myself. Just friends. I put my clothes on. I wore a pair of dark skinny jeans a baggy light blue V-neck top that brought out my eyes and some blue flats that match. Just friends. I kept repeating. I put on my eyeliner and mascara. Just friend. I kept saying as I did my hair. Just frie- and I heard my phone go off. I looked down and it was a message from Stiles. I felt my stomach jump. Stop it stomach! Just friends remember! I looked at the text.
Hey you want a ride to school?
My stomach did another flip just thinking about riding in the car with him again.
Yeah that would be great! Thanks. - I replied
Maybe I just need to accept the fact that I like him. Nothing will ever happen between us but that doesn't mean I cant like him. Right? No harm in a crush. Right? I finished getting ready and putting my stuff together when I heard Stiles honk out front. I ran down stairs and saw Dan on the couch.
"Hey Dan! I got a ride! See you later!" I yelled as I ran out the door. He just waved. I could tell he was half asleep. He had another long night last night working on some case.
I hopped into Stiles jeep
"Good Morning!" Stiles said cheerfully
Even though I just wanted to crawl back into bed I tried to sound as cheerful as possible. "Good Morning Stiles!"
He just laughed as he pulled out of the drive way. "Your not much of a morning person are you?"
I must not have been very convincing. "I don't know how anyone could be a morning person" I said back
He just laughed and turned up some music. We sat and listened for a while till I turned and said
"Thanks for the ride by the way"
"No problem. You live right on the way" He was tapping his finger on the wheel to the beat of the music.
"Well thanks anyway and for the ride yesterday too. Wait. Didn't you have detention yesterday?"
"Yeah" he replied "But I didn't really care to go and I doubted Mr. Harris wanted to see me either so I just did us both a favor and not show up. You know he should thank me" He said smiling.
"I highly doubt he will be thanking you. Unless you count yelling as thanking" I joked back
"Sometimes when he is yelling and I cant understand him I pretend he is saying nice things" Stiles said in a dreamy voice.
I couldn't help but laugh at that. I had a huge smile on my face. He pulled into the school and found a parking space.
"You know" he said "you have a really pretty smile"
I felt my smile grow and my face go red and my heard speed and my stomach do a huge flop! I shyly looked down "um..uh..Thanks" I said in a small voice
"No problem" he said smiling probably at my reaction as he got out of the car.
We walked into the building together. I had to get a binder out of my locker. Stiles walked with me. Their was some weird guy eyeing me down and it made me feel uncomfortable. I leaned into Stiles and whispered.
"Who is he?"
Stiles looked over at him and answered "His name is Matt."
"I think he is in my photography class." I whispered "Why does he keep staring?"
"Im not sure" Stiles could tell I was feeling uncomfortable. "lets get to class"
Matt's eyes fallowed me as I walked past him and down the hall. Stiles protectively put his hand on my back leading me past. I felt my stomach flip flop when he did.
As we were about to enter the class room we saw Scott. We waited form him in the hall and all entered the class together.
As we entered the room. Mr Harris said rudely "McCall glad to see you're on time and Stilinski don't think I forgot about detention! And Sanders…um" He couldn't really think of anything to be rule about so he just finished with "don't be annoying like the other two"
"Yes Sir" I responded "I'll try my best" and saluted him
Stiles and Scott let out a small laugh
"You're not off too a good start" Mr Harris said as he turned around and walked toward his desk.
We went and sat down at our desks
"I cant believe I have to stay for detention!" Stiles wined
"Well you did ditch out yesterday" Scott replied
"You should get detention and stay with me!" Stiles begged Scott
"I have to work and even if I didn't it would still be a no" Scott laughed
"I guess that just leaves you Lila…" Stiles said slyly and they both turned around and smiled
"Oh no no no no no!" I said back quickly "I am not staying for detention"
"You will if you don't have a choice" Stiles said with a big smile
After that he quickly grabbed a glass beaker and slammed it on the ground breaking it into a million pieces. Mine and Scotts eyes got huge and our mouths dropped. Mr. Harris's head shot up fast as Stiles yelled "OH MY GOD LILA YOU CANT JUST GO AROUND BRAKING THINGS!"
My mouth dropped even more then Mr. Harris squinted his eyes at me and said "Detention" threw his gritted teeth. Stiles just looked back and smiled as Mr. Harris started class. I just shook my head at him and slowly smiled. I wasn't that mad because I didn't really care. I had nothing better to do anyways. I was just surprised that he actually did that. The rest of the class went by really fast and close to the end a janitor came in and cleaned up the glass. The bell rang and we said goodbye to Scott and headed to our next class.
"I cant believe you did that" I said to Stiles
"What? I said I wanted someone with me and neither of you were willing to do something yourself. You really left me no choice" He was smiling a big charming smile.
"You're completely rights Stiles. This is all my fault. Im so sorry." I said laughing
"See I knew you would come around. It was no problem really" He joked back
We walked into class
"You do know im going to get you back right" I said sitting down in my desk
"Bring it on" he said as leaned onto my desk. His face was really close to mine and I could feel his breath. He had this sly smile on his face and I have to say it was really hot. I felt my face getting red and I quickly looked away as Stiles sat down in his seat. The class flew by really fast. The only thing that really happened was that I have to read 200 pages by Monday. Ugh! Im glad I started on a Wednesday because that means only a three day week. Tomorrow is Friday and then I get to sleep in. I love sleep. If I could go back to sleep right now I would. I heard the bell ring and me and Stiles got up to leave class.
Third hour has gone by really fast. The next thing I know is its lunch and im sitting at a table with Stiles and Scott.
I sat quiet for a long time just thinking
"You seem really out of it today" Scott finally speaks up
"hmm? What?" I said kinda confused
"My Point exactly" he laughed
"Sorry. Just thinking" I replied sounding kind of melancholy
"About what? You okay?" That's what I liked about Scott. You can tell he didn't just answer he was actually concerned. He just gave off this feeling like you could trust him.
"Yeah. Im fine. Im just thinking about how different things are now. I truly thought moving here would suck. I thought I would have no friends, no family that cared, just nothing and then I met Dan and he seems nice like I could trust him and I met you and Stiles and you guys seem like the best friends anyone could ask for.. I mean.. we are friends…right?"
"Of course were friends" he replied seriously
"Good" I answered with a smile
Just then an energetic Stiles sits down at the table "What you guys talkin about?"
"Nothing" Me and Scott both say at the same time.
Stiles just eyes just "Okay then. So I have been thinking since Lila got us both detention…"
I cut him off "That is not what happened!"
"Well that's how I remember it" He continued "Anyway details aren't important. All that matters is we have detention with Mr. Harris and we need to get even" he said with a sly smile
"Or we could just deal with it and not get it again. That would be the smart thing to do"
Stiles just looked at me "But what would be the fun thing to do"
"Not getting another detention. That would be fun"
"Okay! So were going to get even!" Stiles said ignoring my last comment
"That's not what I said" I replied. kind of worried about what Im getting myself into.
"Well that's what I heard" Stiles said still just as energetic as before.
I threw my hands up giving up on talking him out of it. I mean I guess it could be fun. "So what are we going to do" I said as the bell rang
"I havent thought of that yet but ill get back to you when I do" He said deep in thought
I was walking to class and I ended up dropping all my stuff in the hallway. Great. This is just perfect. Now im going to be late to class! As I was on the ground picking up all my things the same guy as this morning got down to help me. I don't know what it is about this guy but he just gives me the creeps. What was his name. Mark?
"Hey im Matt" Yeah that was it "Whats your name?" he said with this big flirty smile that made me fell uncomfortable
"Um. Lila" I said back nervously. Though I think he though i was flirting because when he finishes helping me he holds out his hand to help me up only he doesn't let go.
"That's a beautiful name" he said still holding on to my hand.
I start feeling really uncomfortable and try to pull my hand away only he wont let go
"Whats wrong" he said in a very patronizing way
"I uh I ..I got to get to class" I said still trying to pull away. It only made him hold on harder as he moved his grip to my wrist
"I think you can afford one tardy" his sickening pompous attitude would normally make me want to hit him in the face if I wasnt so terrified. I need to get out of here.
"I..uh I.." I couldn't think of anything to say and the more I pull the harder he holds. I start to panic.
"Lila" a voice yells me name. I look over. Thank god! It was that boy from my class Isaac. "Don't you think you should be getting to class" he said looking more at Matt then me. He could tell I didn't feel comfortable here "come on ill walk you" Isaac grabbed my bag and put his arm around my waist and Matt let go of me.
When we were about half way to class I looked up at Isaac "Thanks"
"Are you okay. What was he doing" He asked very concerned
"I..I don't know. He just wouldn't let go of me" I said rubbing my wrist where he had his strongest grip. Isaac stopped and took a look at my wrist.
"Looks like he had a really strong grip…. It might bruise really bad" the more he looked at my wrist the angrier he got. "I mean whats that kids problem. You cant just go around grabbing people like that! I really should have just turned around and beat the living shit out of him! You cant just hurt and harass people like that its not right!" he was starting to get really upset
"Hey Isaac look..look at me. Im okay...its okay….everything..everything is okay. See look everything is working just fine" I wiggled my body a little bit. That made him smile. "Im fine really" I said as I put my hands on both sides of his face "im okay just calm down" I wonder why that got him so upset.
"Okay" he calmed down some "We should probably hurry and get to class. Were already pretty late"
We hurried and got to class about ten minutes late and got a really stern look from the teacher. We hurried to our seats and stared on the work. After class Isaac found it necessary to walk me to my next class so I don't have any more run ins with Matt. I didn't feel the need tell him that I had my last class with him I knew that would only make Isaac worry more though I was feeling very worried about it. I got to class and said bye to Isaac and go sit in my seat. Right as the bell rings I see Stiles running into class
"Im not late! Im not late! See!" he was practically yelling at the teacher
I turned around to face him "Cutting it a little close I see" I said jokingly He just rolled his eyes "So did you think of some crazy plan to get to get even with Mr. Harris yet"
"Yup" he said popping the 'P' "I'll tell you about it later"
Class ended up going by really fast and next thing I know in walking with Stiles to his next class .
"So you going to tell me about your master plan yet" I said slightly excited. I was really curious.
"No not yet. Ill tell you after school" he said with a big playful smile on his face. "You will just have to wait"
We got to his class room. As Stiles walked inside realization hit me. I had to go class with Matt. Pools of anxiety hit. You can do this Lila. He wont do anything with a class full of people. This is Photography. Your favorite class. You can do this. I walk to my Photography class I walk into class and im one of the first people in there. I take a seat at one of the tables and wait right before the bell rings Matt walks in. I just avoid his eye contact. All threw out class I can feel his eyes on me. I couldn't take it anymore I looked up to see him staring at me. He smiled and winked. I felt sick. This guy really creeps me out. I quickly looked away and ignored him for the rest of the class. The rest of the hour I just spent organizing my portfolio. I also texted Stiles to meet me down here when the bell rang so he can tell me his plan as we walk to detention. I also didn't want out of the room alone with Matt being right here. As the bell rang I slowly grabbed my things and waited on Stiles. I decided to talk to my Photography teacher. His name was Mr. Eton. He seemed really cool. He looked like he was about twenty-two or three he had shaggy brown hair and yellowish-green eyes, small gauges, a slight beard and was pretty fit.
"Hey im Lila. We havent really had a chance to meet. I just moved here." I said
"Right. Right. Yeah. Um im Mr. Eton." Mr Eton had the voice of a typical skater real laid back "What you got in your hand. That doesn't look like the portfolio I gave you guys. Is that your own. Can I see it" he asked
"Um. Yeah sure.." I handed it to him nervously. He looked threw it slowly page by page analyzing every page. Smiling at some. Squinting at other. Trying to find the deeper meaning.
"This is gnarly" he handed me back my portfolio. "You know.. there is a contest coming up soon for high schoolers. If you win you can get some prize money. I think you might have a shot. If you're interested."
"Yeah! For sure!" I answered
"Sweet. Ill get you the info" he fist pounded me. He was so laid back and not like any of my other teachers. he was so different it was funny. Mr. Eton went back to what he was doing so I decided to go by the door to wait for Stiles. As I was walking out the door Stiles was about to walk in the door and I ran right into his chest knocking me down.
"Oh! Lila! Im so sorry!" he said rushing to help me back to my feet.
"Its cool. No big deal im fine." I said back reassuring him we started walking to Mr. Harris's class room "So whats the big plan"
Stiles got this big sly smile across his face as he whispered the plan in my ear.
If we get caught…..We will be in so much trouble…..
Sorry its been so long! School has been kicking my butt! thanks to Cellacouto1 and Wombaline for reviewing. You make me want to keep doing this! I do not own any of the characters except for Lila, Dan, and Mr. Eton. REVIEW! Pretty please with sugar on top!
