Malia

I sit through another boring day of math, trying not to fall asleep, my hands move quick highlighting things I don't understand, and my mind is preoccupied by questions I can ask Stiles about the homework tonight, I was really grateful for him tutoring me even though it was awkward for him to be my fake boyfriend now, but I liked that we could joke about it so openly, each knowing that we'd never fall for each other.

Time goes by surprisingly fast and before I know it I'm saying goodbye to Lydia and Allison in front of my house, ending our daily walk home from school. I was kind of glad to get rid of them because they kept drilling me with questions about fake dating Stiles, they both agree that it's a terrible idea because I have never dated anyone, but I think that's stupid because just because I haven't dated anyone doesn't mean I will fall for Stiles, I'm not controlled by my heart, I'm more of a thinking on my own kind of girl.

"Alright, bye guys." I say finally, as they both hug me, and smile in my direction.

"Bye Malls." They say in unison, but Lydia turns around pointing a finger in my direction.

"Make sure to tell us every thing that happens tonight." She says, as she raises her eyebrow at me, and Allison nods in agreement.

I roll my eyes, but keep a light smile on my face.

"Nothing is going to happen, guys, it's just Stiles and I , two friends, studying." I say in a bored tone, as I turn away, and they don't look so convinced but finally, they decide to leave me alone.

I walk into my house, it's a small house, but I like it, though some nights it reminds me of my mother.

I'm not surprised when I find my dad setting up some traps downstairs in the basement, he loves hunting, and since it's spring it's hunting season again. He usually hunted deer, but I see he's making rabbit traps.

I smile as I kiss him on the cheek, his gray eyes look into mine, as he smiles.

"And, how was school?" He asks, as turns back to the trap, adjusting it with a screw driver.

"Boring, as usual." I say in a soft tone, but then suddenly for some reason, I think about Stiles and I kissing, it's not a big deal, of course, but it makes my stomach feel weird inside, and not a good kind either.

Maybe we moved too fast and I made it awkward on him, but at least now every one knew we were dating according to Lydia and Allison.

"Anything else on your mind?" He asks, as he looks up at me again, his smile is brief.

"Not really dad.. Oh, Stiles is coming over tonight, he's going to help me in math." I say, as I fold my hands behind my back, my dad stands up, looking at me, his expression seems harmless, but I imagine there's something nervous brewing in his old gray eyes.

"Oh, that's nice." He says, as he sets the trap down.

I don't let go of my suspicion as I stare at him, my face must seem defensive because he chuckles lightly.

"What, Malia?" He asks, as he rubs the grease from the traps off his hands in the sink in the basement.

"Nothing you just seemed...nervous." I say, and he rolls his eyes lightly, and I'm wondering if he gets annoyed sometimes of how much I pick up on people's emotions and movements, he always joked I'd be a great detective agent.

"Well, it just you spend a lot of time with this boy, so maybe there's something you're not telling your old man." He teases lightly.

I make a face at him, as I try not to bite my lower lip, I hate lying to my dad, but here's the thing, he won't let me date until senior year, and right now we're only sophomores, so I had to hide this from him as soon as possible, I didn't want to make him angry though. I think the reason he's so protective of me is if I die, he's going to have no one left, and that makes me sad.

"No, dad, I know the rules." I say, looking into his eyes, and I can tell their studying mine to catch one wrong move, to catch me in the lie.

"Good." He says, as he sits back down on his stool.

I smile lightly, as I grab my backpack, going upstairs, once I shut the , I lean against it, trying to calm my racing heart.

I wonder if mom was here would things be different?

(A/N: Uh-oh Malia going against her father's wishes, why do you think she didn't tell Stiles that she couldn't date? luckily her dad isn't really involved in the outside world, but who knows? maybe he'll find out, kind of a sad chapter right? Don't worry they'll be more Stalia in the next one, please review and rate, and let me know if you like it! thank you for all the lovely comments)
