Stiles got out of his Jeep mere minutes after Jackson had arrived. "You know one of these days I am actually going to beat you here" Stiles boasted hiking his bag up his shoulders.
"What a dorky thing to say" Jackson replied pulling Stiles into a quick kiss, showing he hadn't really meant it. "You really need to work on that; no one should be happy coming to school on any day let alone a Monday and you especially shouldn't complain about being late"
"Says the guy that's always early" Stiles shot back throwing his bag at Jackson who obviously caught it with such ease and grace Stiles wished he had aimed it at his head.
"And here I was trying to make you less dorky"
It was routine; Jackson beats Stiles to school everyday, Stiles complains about it and makes Jackson carry his bag to the locker Jackson laughs it off and kisses Stiles THEN they get crowded by a bunch of people Stiles knows mostly through Jackson once they reach the lockers.
Like Stiles said Routine.
"Where's the crowd of adoring fan? Kinda miss them; plus is really creepy how am I meant to get through the day without my morning dose of feeling important?" Stiles asked dragging his first and second lesson textbook into his bag.
"So you didn't want me to tell them to give us space? Cause I remember you complaining about them A LOT… to their face." Jackson replied smirking at Stiles.
"Just cause I complain doesn't mean I want stuff to change. You should know me better than that Jac-"
As if they were the ones who possessed super hearing all of the usual gang of popular decided to crown around 'Just like old times' Stiles' thought.
"Seriously is this some cult, cause they can't seem to be able to get through the day without talking to you every five seconds… actually if you built a cult and didn't make them clean my Jeep I would be pissed." Stiles huffed over Mindy's shoulder.
"You say this every morning and it doesn't get any funnier" Mandy replied instead threading her arms through Stiles walking him towards their Spanish lesson.
"That's cause you have no sense of humour"
"No it's because is not funny; it can't even be called a joke" David replied without staring up from his phone. "Check your phone I have sent you an invite to the defence classes I was on about"
"I am a hundred and sixty pound of pure sarcasm I need no defence" Stiles responded although he did check his phone once the texr came through.
"And when that doesn't work out for you, you will need actual self defence" David continued smiling back.
David actually liked Stiles he could see the appeal, the boy was funny and kind of self-less always looking out for others. Sure he hadn't wanted to give him a chance- and he probably won't have if Jackson didn't have a major hard-on for the boy- but David like Stiles and wouldn't mind meeting him outside school like normal friends.
"Not sure you've met me… name's Stiles; not only can I talk you out of killing me or whatever nefarious plot you may have but my father is the Sherriff anything happens to me and you will have the whole county department so far up your ass you wont be able to sit … like EVER. Plus I have a baseball bat"
"Yeah I am sure this will stop people from killing you" Jackson snorted at the speech that was just sooo Stiles it was practically amazing.
"He does make a good point though" Mindy responded giving up today's attempt of getting Jackson to notice her… well her morning attempt, Stiles was sure she was going to try again before lunchtime. "He is the Sherriff's kid and I would probably just give him back if it got him to stop talking"
"Awww thanks Mindy; I'm sure I'll miss your bitterness when you leave but you can leave." Stiles shot back, the girl always managed to annoy him.
"On that note I think I'll take Stiles. Time for Spanish and all that, hey Mandy" Isaac said butting in, pulling both Stiles and Mandy out of the group before anything more could be said.
Isaac turned around to Stiles after watching Senorita Mendez settle back into her chair, signaling the fact that they could now talk to their heart content…. As long as they handed in some proof of actual work. "You can't keep fighting with her every day"
"Willing to bet on that are you?" Mandy snorted. She understood why Stiles couldn't get along with Mindy, if another girl tried poaching David on a daily basis she won't get along with her either…. Well she probably will slap her but Stiles was raised never to hit a girl.
No matter how much she deserved… too bad Stiles wasn't born a girl, then he could go around slapping the skank.
"I am not going to… I just need to get my hands on some peanuts and then I am done" Stiles replied
"You can't kill her either" Isaac shot back slightly amused, slightly worried. You could never tell whether Stiles was joking or being completely serious… not until it was too late.
"You really should say yes to the self-defence class with David" Mandy said, having already finished the multiple-choice part.
"I'm alright I don't need-"
"Yeah, we know, you probably know how to defend yourself. David was trying to get you to hang out with him, is like Danny asking you to come round to code or me asking you round to bake… he was trying to get you to hang out with him, as a friend… so just say yes"
"Oh. Yeah sure" Stiles said somewhat surprised. David didn't usually talk to him all that much, suddenly grinning Stiles looked up at Mandy. "Your boyfriend likes me"
"Yeah and if you corrupt him, I am going to kick your ass-"
The door suddenly opened to reveal Scott dripping with sweat, in fact Isaac could already smell him from the door.
"Where were you" Scott asked taking his usual seat next to Stiles as if they were talking. "Did you forget to pick me up? Cause not cool I was late"
Isaac stared at Scott for a full minute wondering if the knock to his head had caused him to loose some memories… he seemed okay last night but he was acting as if last night never happened.
Maybe he had lost his mind, Jackson had been pretty angry last night seeing as it took the combined strength of Derek, Peter and Boyd to pry Jackson's fist away from Scott head.
