Chapter 2

The bell signaling first period to end rang a few minutes ago, and I, the last one to leave was heading my way out the classroom. I looked down at my class schedule to see where my 2nd period was then looked up only to find myself having a near heart attack when before me stood Stiles with a big grin on his face."Hi," he said calmly."Oh my g-god," still catching my breathe, "you know you gotta warn a girl before you do something like that," I managed to get out.

"Oh yeah I uh sorry about that" Stiles said, as if everything was fine and the skies were blue. "Soooo where ya headed to now?" Taking my schedule out of my hands, "Sweet. Gym," answering his own question, "Know where that's at?"

"Actually I don't, thank you very much," taking my schedule back from him.

"Cmon! I'll walk you there," he looked at me grinning. I could feel my heart doing jumping jacks. Two hours into the new school and a nice looking guy has already offered to take me to class. I bit my lip as I hid the huge smile that was dying to express my happiness.

"Are you always this nice to every new girl here? Besides, aren't you going to be late?"

"Yes and yes" Stiles says sarcastically, which I assumed was a common way of his answering. Or his talking in general.

"You know, I don't think walking the new girl to gym would be a great excuse on your permanent record."

"Aw man, don't tell me you're one of those super nerds who dedicate all their high school life to work and play with action figures!Well actually action figures aren't that bad really, I mean it's not like I've been collecting them since I was 5 or anything bu-" he stopped himself to avoid even more embarrassment, putting his hand on his forehead.

"I dunno, 4.50 GPA isn't that nerdy you think?" I say jokingly while turning to Stiles.

"Whoa! The only person I know who even comes close to that is my friend Lyd-"

"STILES!"Suddenly a strawberry blonde in a skirt and heels comes toward our way.

"Oh! Hey Ly-lydia!" Stiles bursts out. He quickly fixes his shirt and hair. I turn to look at him and his flushed cheeks and a smile so big I was sure his face was gonna my heart calmed itself down as I began to realize what was happening here.

"You haven't seen Jackson anywhere, have you?" Lydia curiously says as she looks me up and down head to toe then back to Stiles, scanning the surrounding area.

Stiles brings his hand to his face and suddenly his eyes and smile start to droop down, "Uh no, he's your boyfriend isn't he? I mean, shouldn't you know where he would be?"

Lydia stares at him with an unamused look, then walks away.

Stiles looks down at his feet and I, starting to think Stiles forgot I was standing right next to him, cleared my throat. "What was that all about?"

"That's uh," Stiles looks up at me, "Lydia! The girl with the insane GPA like you..The girl whose dating Jackson, the star Lacrosse player. The girl I've been in love with since the 3rd grade. The gir-" He stopped himself and looks down at his shoes again, "Oh my god, I'm sorry I- this doesn't always happen I swear it's just tha-"

Unsure of what to say or do, I try my best to not show my emotions and say, "I uh, I think the bell's gonna ring pretty soon. I'm gonna go ahead and find the gym, I think I have a clue as to where it is, thanks though Stiles." I give him one of those famous "I'm upset but I'll just pretend I'm fine" the truth was, I had no clue. No clue as to where the gym was, no clue as to what just happened with Stiles, Lydia, and whoever Jackson was, and definitely no clue as to what lie ahead of me.

I turned around and began walking slowly. And as much as I wanted Stiles to yell out "Wait!" or "Hold on!" or even to stop me from going on without him, I turned back around to see him still standing there. Hopeless and speechless.

Stiles POV

I was looking down at my feet, leaning on the lockers with my hands in my pocket when after a good few seconds of awkward silence, Michelle finally spit out, "I uh, I think the bell's gonna ring pretty soon.I'm gonna go ahead and find the gym, I think I have an idea as to where it is, thanks though Stiles." I look up and she shoots me a small smile, then walks away. My heart sank.

Damn you, Lydia. The one time I meet a girl who I'm interested in that isnt her and she always finds a way to ruin it for me. And the worst part? She doesn't even know that she's doing it.

After our chat in class that went downhill cause of Miss Blake, I spent the remaining class period staring at her long auburn hair that shined from the sunlight coming in from the window. I even pictured myself playfully running my fingers through her hair. And to top it all off, stood outside of class just waiting for her to come out so I'd get another chance to talk to her. Me. Stiles Stilinski. Stand outside of a classroom. A classroom! When in life have I ever done that!?

There was something about Michelle. Not her light brown eyes or her shiny auburn hair or the way she's dedicated to her schoolwork or the way she has a sense of humor or th- Anyway.. Things started off well but being the infatuated doof I am, I blow it.
