As Lydia and Allison are wandering around campus she can't help but think why Stiles hasn't texted her back. She sent him a good morning text once she woke up and she already regrets it.
"Do we have any classes in the same building? We've been walking all over the place for hours." Allison whines.
Lydia looks at her phone intensely.
"Lydia! Are you listening to me?" Allison throws the campus map paper at Lydia's face which makes her shake her head slightly. "What's up with you?"
"Stiles hasn't replied back."
"You texted him? When?" Allison smiles.
"Like two hours ago. I sent him a good morning text. I thought it would be nice."
"Well, it's barely ten am. He's probably still in bed. Both Scott and Stiles wake up like at twelve or one in the afternoon." Allison looks at her phone and her message she sent to Stiles.
"Han Solo? Are you serious? That's so cute! Already giving each other nicknames?!" Allison laughs.
"He named me Princess Leia on his phone." Lydia mumbles quietly.
"I'm sure he'll reply back once he wakes up." Allison picks up the map of the campus then looks around curiously.
"Okay, this is where my Psychology class is going to be." Allison looks up, "Wow, it's actually not far from my English class, sweet." She smiles.
"Let me see your schedule again." Lydia demands.
"This school is so huge. I still can't believe we both got accepted, I mean, that I got accepted, you.. You could've gone anywhere."
Lydia just smiles at her as she looks at her best friend's schedule, "Ally."
"No seriously, you did this huge huge step for me. I probably wouldn't have been here, if it weren't for you."
Lydia smiles and rolls her eyes, "What's your major going to be?"
"History. I love learning about the past and I'll get a chance to learn about my ancestors and stuff. Then as a minor I'm picking Art."
Lydia nods, "So you're taking Psychology for the fun of it?"
It's Allison's turn to roll her eyes, "College is also supposed to be for you to figure out what you really wanna do. History and Art are my majors right now, but they can change. I'm just exploring classes."
"Jeez, relax. I was just wondering."
"I'm not a brainiac like you and already know what I wanna do." Allison mumbles. "I swear I feel like I'm not even going to see you this upcoming semester with your crazy schedule." Allison continues, "I'm only taking five classes and I feel like I won't survive." She shakes her head then snatches Lydia's schedule and reads her classes out loud.
"Creative Writing, Chemistry, Greek, Chicano Studies, Human Biology, Math, and.. Ancient Studies? Jesus Christ Lydia, I mean this is barely your first semester of college, are you seriously trying to kill yourself with these type of classes?"
"I'm sure I can handle it. I love a challenge." Lydia smirks.
"You're not going to have a social life. How are you going to make Stiles want you with a schedule like this?" Allison is shocked as she continues to look at her schedule then laughs at her own comment ready for Lydia's comeback.
"Shut up. I'm at Stanford University, a very amazing school known for medicine. Even though, the love of my life is here, he's also not going to determine the career I'm going to have after I graduate on the honor roll." Lydia snickers, "Besides, if we do end up together, I'm sure he'll motivate me to do what I love." Lydia said it with so much sass.
"Now, stop complaining and let's head to this Ancient Studies classroom." She smiles at her and grabs her schedule back.
Allison is speechless, just standing there full of awe and confusion. Allison follows her slowly and chuckles of how crazy and great her best friend is.
After knowing where all their classes are, Lydia and Allison ended up at the oval garden. They're both sitting on a bench, enjoying the sun and the smell of all the flowers.
Lydia sips on her water bottle and reads through all her professor's syllabus while Allison is just relaxing her head on Lydia's lap.
Lydia's phone starts vibrating like crazy which caught Allison off guard. Lydia searches for her phone in her bag then finally unlocks it.
Lydia has a huge grin on her face, "It's Stiles! He replied!"
"What did he say?" Allison sits up.
Lydia reads the text message out loud in a deep voice, "Hey Lydia, what were you doing up so early?"
"Okay, Stiles does not have that much of a deep voice." Allison laughs.
Lydia playfully slaps Allison, "Help me! What do I tell him!?"
Allison shakes her head, "Uh.. Just tell him what we did, the reason why we were up so early?"
Lydia straightens up and talks clearly, "Hey! Allison and I were just wandering around campus making sure we won't get lost the first day of the semester."
Allison slightly nods and does her best impression of a turtle face. "That's good. Send it."
Lydia smiles bravely, "Already did. Now we wait."
"You want some coffee? Let's go to that Starbucks by the library." Allison asks.
"He already replied! Oh my god Ally, that was so quick." Lydia bites her lip as she smiles at her phone.
Allison ignores her and instead pulls Lydia up to start walking but Lydia is too busy replying back to Stiles that has her smiling.
"Oh my god he's also going to Starbucks! What a strange coincidence." Lydia says full of excitement.
"You know there's more than one Starbucks right?" Allison laughs at Lydia.
Lydia puckers up her lips and straight up looks at Allison, "He said the one by the library."
"Oh, that means I'm seeing Scott!" Allison smiles.
"How do you know if Scott will be there?" Lydia asks.
Both Lydia and Allison stay silent then start laughing together because they know damn well Scott and Stiles are never apart.
Both girls end up at Starbucks at the front of the line. "I'll pay." Allison smiles at Lydia. The both of them stare at the menu for a few minutes and take their sweet time.
The barista takes a look at both Lydia and Allison and smirks, "You ladies need more time?"
"Yes please." Allison replies not paying attention to the barista.
Lydia looks at the barista and can't help but check him out. He's attractive. Really attractive and he's smirking at her and she can't help but smile back.
"Okay," Allison takes a huge breath, "You ready?" She looks at Lydia.
"Yeah, um hi." Lydia says.
"Hello, how's your day going?" The barista asks.
"It's going pretty well actually." Lydia smiles.
"You're a freshman here at Stanford?" He asks. Allison just scrunches up her eyebrows because he's not asking her, he's asking Lydia, it's like if she's not even there. Allison is getting impatient and crosses her arms.
"I am, yes." Lydia eyes Allison.
"I guess I'll be seeing you a lot more often then?" He asks.
"Sure, maybe. It's your first year here too?" She asks.
"No, it's my second year." He smiles, "Kinda got this job back for this semester." He looks down then right back up at Lydia.
Lydia nods not knowing what else to say so she orders, "Can I please get a grande caramel macchiato with soy milk and very light caramel drizzle."
"Of course, can I have your name?" He looks at her with his flirty eyes.
"My name's Lydia." Lydia coughs, she feels a bit awkward since she's not used to guys flirting with her. Is he even flirting with her?
"I'm Aiden, the one who will be making your coffee." He smiles. He has a cute smile.
Allison sighs and rolls her eyes, "Okay, we're not finished!" Allison interrupts, "I want a venti mocha frappuccino with extra whip cream… thank you." Allison slips Aiden a ten dollar bill while he's just writing her order. "And keep the change, for the tip, thank you very much."
Allison grabs Lydia away to sit on the table. Aiden is shocked and laughing. "I'll be ready in a couple of minutes."
"That was so rude!" Lydia exclaims.
"Relax, you'll see him when he calls out our drinks. I thought Stiles and Scott were coming?"
Lydia isn't listening but looking at Aiden as he makes the drinks. "He's cute right?"
"Yeah but he looks like a dick. Like a dick that hits on every pretty girl he see's which is very tacky and annoying when you're just trying to buy a coffee."
"Didn't you tell me that there's a lot of other guys besides Stiles?" Lydia crosses her arms.
"Yes, I did.. But don't go chasing after the first dude who say's you're pretty."
"You don't understand. I never.. Guys don't flirt with me, Ally. This whole thing with Stiles is so weird and all of a sudden and I love it but I'm scared. Besides, he basically friend zoned me last night."
"But he kissed you! Who just kisses someone when they barely know them?!" Allison complains.
Before Lydia can say anything Aiden calls out Lydia's name. Lydia gets up and sadly smiles at Allison.
"Hopefully I'll be seeing you soon?" Aiden smirks as he hands out both drinks.
Lydia just shrugs, "Maybe." She's walking backwards smiling to Aiden then suddenly bumps into someone.
"Oh my god, I'm so so sorry," Lydia turns to face the person and immediately smiles. "Stiles."
"Are you serious this is my favorite flannel!" He sort of smiles and a rush of anxiety reaches Lydia. He noticed how her face expression quickly turned into a frown, "I'm kidding, hey it was a joke." He touches her shoulders, "How's it going friend?" He's now smiling.
She notices Aiden looking at them both and sort of nods, a nod of disappointment. Lydia doesn't say anything but looks at Stiles, "It's going well. Did you eat already?"
"No, I ordered a croissant with my coffee."
"Stiles, it's two in the afternoon and you haven't had breakfast?" Lydia looks shocked as she walks her way to the table.
Lydia immediately gives Allison her drink and waves to Scott. "Hi Lydia." Scott nods.
"I don't eat breakfast. I eat brunch and dinner then a midnight snack." He smiles. He's always smiling and Lydia finds him so dreamy. He's smiling and sort of has his tongue out like if he said the funniest joke, she notices he does that a lot and she loves it.
"Hey Allison," Stiles nods at Allison who just nods back, "So what are today's plans?" He asks.
"Plans?" Lydia murmurs.
"Um dude… Allison and I are going out today." Scott says.
"We were?" Allison is confused.
"You guys are?" Both Lydia and Stiles ask.
"Yes, I'm taking you out. Today we're both hanging out. Just us." Scott looks at Stiles.
"Okay," Allison smiles. "I'm not even ready. Is this right now? You should have told me I would have worn something cuter."
Lydia rolls her eyes because Allison looks good all the time. She's wearing the cutest jean flannel with a floral skirt and boots. Her hair is down and her makeup is simply beautiful.
"Yes this is right now. You look pretty all the time Allison." Scott bites his lip.
It's Stiles' turn to roll his eyes, "Get a room."
"I got a venti caramel macchiato and a butter croissant for… Stiles?!" Aiden yells.
Stiles quickly gets up and goes for his order. Lydia turns to look at Aiden and Stiles, Stiles just sort of nods and gives him a weird look.
"Thanks bro." She hears him say.
"What are you doing later Stiles?" Allison asks.
He thinks for a second, "Nothing."
"Hey! We basically ordered the same thing!" Lydia points out his drink.
"God Lydia, I feel like we have so much in common. First the whole Star Wars thing now coffee?" He takes a long sip and smiles at her.
Allison and Scott share a look.
"You know.. I still need to repay you for that thing you helped me yesterday,"
Stiles looks at her blankly, "Lydia you don't need to do."
"So come with me to Barnes and Nobles?" Lydia asks but doesn't look at Stiles. She's scared for his rejection.
"There is literally a library right outside." Scott scoffs. Allison smacks Scott's shoulder.
"How exactly is me going with you to Barnes and Nobles repaying what I did yesterday?" Boom. Rejection. "Not that I don't wanna go. I'd love to go actually. I'm just wondering." Stiles quickly rambled.
"Maybe you'll just have to wait and see for yourself." Lydia replies.
Scott immediately howls, "Whoa, very smooth. Very smooth." Allison is smiling at Lydia who is just shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
Stiles is smiling as he takes a bite of his croissant. "Fine."
Scott whispers something into Allison's ear which makes her nod and smile.
"Okay, I guess we're gonna head out. I don't know what time I'll be back but I'll text you okay?" Allison swings her arms loosely and Scott pats Stiles' back then heads outside hand in hand with Allison.
Lydia watches them go and suddenly she feels nervous. Why did she invite Stiles out? She's anxious and rubbing her sweat off her hands to her skirt. She can't do this. What was she thinking?!
"So how exactly are we heading to Barnes and Nobles exactly?" Stiles asks. He starts playing with the empty croissant bag.
"I was going to take the bus actually." She doesn't look at him.
"The bus?!" He snickers.
"Yes, the bus. You know a large motor vehicle that carries multiple people that stops in certain areas."
Stiles laughs, "Okay you ready to head out?"
Lydia quickly nods and stands up, "Yeah let's go."
Stiles grabs his mess and just observes Lydia. She finished her coffee and throws it to the trash can near where the barista's hand out the orders. He also noticed the barista looking at Lydia.
He follows Lydia and throws away his trash then crosses his arms.
"See you around Lydia." Aiden smirks and bites his lip. Stiles gives him a sour expression and scrunches his eyebrows and looks at him with a confused glare.
He opens the door for Lydia while still looking at Aiden. Lydia just smiles back at Aiden and looks down.
"Who's that? You know him?" Stiles wonders.
"Yeah, he's a new friend." She answers then grabs her phone out not paying attention to Stiles who continuously glares to Aiden.
Hi guys, I just wanna thank every single person who reviewed the last two chapters! They make me smile and I really really love reading them, so it would mean a lot if you guys still continue reviewing haha. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's kind of weird writing Lydia very nerdy but I like to think she lowkey is ;)
