She who Owns a fragile heart: Chapter 4
August 1st 2011- The comic-book kid.
She couldn't sleep. She didn't know why. But she just couldn't. She tossed and turned and closed her eyes. But it didn't work.
She sighed and took it as her brain playing over in her mind what happened. Even though she doesn't want to relieve the embarrassment.
She looked at the clock and thought. She quickly hopped out of bed and checked the pamphlet for the community in the university.
"Whats open, Whats open" She repeated. She scrolled down the pamphlet with her finger and spotted a comic book store. Perfect.
She changed out of her sweats and put on her navy jeans and jacket and her plain grey t and black vans. She grabbed her empty bag, to put the comics in and silently opened the door, she checked the landing and was glad no one's light was on. She creeped along the hall silently and bumped into the stairs.
She ignored the pain and stood silently, hoping no-one heard her. Which they didn't. thank god. She decided to get out her phone and turn on her light, and slowly made her way downstairs. She saw the door, walked out it and closed it as quietly as possible.
She started to walk to the comic book store, with the help of her pamphlet and her mind got lost into different things. She missed home already. Her dad said University was his favourite childhood experience and she would learn so much about it. She smiled at the memory.
She wanted to go home. But she couldn't, she couldn't be that week girl anymore. She had to be strong and not let any boy drag her down. This is university, this is her time to go to keegars and throw parties! But she wasn't like that, she was a much simpler quieter girl, she didn't like to be the centre of attention and didn't like to go to parties.
She was snapped out of her thoughts as she saw the comic book store, "Thank god." She muttered.
The open sign was shining bright against the window, she saw the back of a boy's head behind the counter, so she opened the door and went up to the desk.
The boy obviously didn't hear her, as he had his headphones in, she heard ACDC playing from the speakers and smiled. This guy has great taste in music.
Wiping the smile from her face, she straightened up and tapped his shoulder.
"AAGH!" They boy screamed as he fell of his chair. Stiles tried to hold back the laughter as she saw he was still on the ground. Shit! What if he's hurt. Her first aid training kicked in and went behind the counter.
She saw the boy face down on the floor, laughing. "Are you okay?" She asked.
He stopped laughing and looked up at her. And what do you know, if her life wasn't any shittier at this moment it was Derek.
She silently screamed in her head. "WHY DO YOU HATE ME KARMA , WHY , WHY ,WHY?!"
"Am I glad to see you, I thought you where a bloody criminal!" He smirked.
She couldn't fight the grin that came on her face.
"Do I look like a criminal?" She asked.
"No, and it looks like you're actually talking to me after I behaved like a dick." He huffed.
"You didn't behave like a dick, I just.. not good with crowds." She gave him half a smile.
"Stiles, if you where any other girl you'd be throwing stuff in my face." He joked.
"Well, luckily for you i'm not another girl." She smiled.
"No you're not." Repeating her grin.
He noticed the awkward smiling and coughed. "So why'd you come here?" His mood changed. "Not in that way! I'm just curious." He blushed.
Stiles noticed his blush and starting mentally screaming her head off. "I came to get some comics." She said.
"You know it's 12:15 right?" He asked.
"Yeah, I know. Couldn't sleep." She half-smiled.
"Right well, what kind of comics you looking for?" "Well. I usually just browse and read." She said.
"Well, if you want I can read with you?" He smiled.
She looked up at him and smiled. "I'd like that." He silently went over to the list of comic books and she followed, they searched for several minutes and they choose several comics. Stiles chose 'Superman the first edition', 'Deadpool comic' and 'Batman first edition.' Derek choose 'Thor','Deadpool','Wolverine' and 'SilverSurfer'. They didn't say anything to each other when they choose their books. They just went over to the sofa, and read their books. Stiles couldn't help but notice Derek taking glances over at her book and laughed, not knowing she did it out load and blushed.
"What's so funny?" He smirked.
"Nothing." She repeated his look.
"No seriously?" "What?" "What is it?" He asked.
She just smirked at him and turned back to her book. A couple of minutes later she heard him laugh. She turned to look at him.
"Whats so funny?" She asked.
"Oh nothing." He smirked.
"Seriously, where doing this." She said.
"Yeap." He smiled and turned back to his store at him for a few seconds then turned back to her book. Again.
She kept sneaking glances at him, and she saw he was sneaking glances at her. So she looked up at him, the same time he did. She couldn't keep it in and laughed. Derek soon followed. She didn't know why, but she had this feeling around him like she could be herself. They stopped laughing and just smiled at each other. Derek soon turned back to his book, she did the same. A few seconds later she felt her hand being taken in his. She noticed how warm his hand was and looked at him. But he didn't anything. Just smiled and read is book.
She smiled and continued reading hers.
This felt right.
She stopped reading when she saw a light coming from outside, it was coming onto morning. She looked up at the clock and saw it was 4:50. She couldn't believe she was here this long! It felt like a tiny moment of time had gotten away from her, and she wanted it back. So she could stay here longer. To still have his hand in hers. But then she remembered Kate. She did not want to be the Kapa sister that apparently has a thing for him.
She took her hand out of his, and gathered her stuff. He looked at her with a puzzled look and his face changed to unreadable. He looked like he knew what she was thinking. He probably did, Stiles prayed he didn't, otherwise he'd be scared for life.
"I need to go, she said as she grabbed her bag and headed out the door." She quickly walked away from the comic book store.
"Stiles wait." Said Derek catching up to her. He stopped in front of her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Why do you keep running away from me? " He said.
"I.. I." She struggled for words. Suddenly she gained a boost of confidence and took a breath.
"Because Derek, I am not like other girls. Okay? I am not you're usual 'Oh my god Look at me, with my breasts pushed up in every photo I take okay?' I am a normal and shy girl, that doesn't want to cause trouble with anyone especially my Kapa leader, who is in fact you're girlfriend! She would kill me if she found out I was with you! I was already embarrassed enough as it is at the coffee shop! I do not need this. So please, just.. just leave me alone." She said, starting to pick up her pace.
"No." He said, catching up with her again, stopping in front of her.
"Do I not get a say in this? Look Stiles, I like you okay? And Kate, Kate is harmless she wouldn't actually do anything. I.. I just, you're actually a girl who has something in common with me. And.. I.. I really like you Stiles." He sighed, rubbing his hands on his tired eyes.
"Derek, I need to go okay." She looked up at him and smiled. "I'll see you around."
Finally feeling done with her rant, she pulled up her sleeves and walked back to her House, remembering the route already mapped into her head.
She was playing that moment. God, she was such a bitch wasn't she? But what she said was the truth! She didn't want to cause trouble and Derek. Oh god Derek. He was so handsome and he was the Popular Jock and she was the shy nerdy new girl. They didn't mix. It just didn't work that why.
She walked up the porch and was about to open the door, but someone opened it for her.
"And what time do you call this?" Kate Argent said as she closed the door behind her, looking Stiles straight in the face.
"Em.. I .. I" Stiles stuttered. "Right, listen up okay? I don't know who you think you are, but you'd be wise not to get on my bad side. Or something bad may happen. Got it?" She smiled.
Stiles nodded slowly. "And secondly, stay away from Derek. apish?" Stiles nodded again.
"Good, then we'll be okay." She smiled. Kate flipped her hair and made her way down the path. "Have a good day, Stiles." She saw Kate walking round the corner and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. God why does this shit always happen to her?
She didn't know what to do, so she thought of the only thing she could do.
Stiles took out her phone and dialed in the numbers..
"Beep beep... Beep Beep.. Beep Beep.. Be- Hello?" A voice said from the other end of the phone.
"Can you meet me somewhere? I really need to talk to you." Tears showing in her eyes, her voice going shaky.
"Sure, Sure. We can meet at the park, I'll be there soon babe." She hung up the phone and started making her way to the park.
It took her five minutes, and when she was round the corner she saw a brown-haired figure in the middle. He turned round and his look changed instantly. He ran to her, as she did the same to him. He enveloped her into a big hug, and she stood there and cried into him softly. "Shh.. whatever it is, it's going to be okay." Scott reassured her. She just nodded into his jumper, not finding the words to speak. He was the only person that she could tell stuff too, cry on him, and he just letting her. She lifted her head and looked at him, he smiled at her and wiped the tear stains from her cheek and kissed her head. "You'll be fine." He reasured her.
From across the street in a small café, the brown-haired boy looked at them and realized it was all his fault.
WELL FUCK. I don't even know? What. what. what Is wrong with me? Someone tell me what I just wrote? I think I need to just go hibernate somewhere, I think I died of too much feels. And I wrote the damn thing. UGH. Anyway, just review and give me some ideas if you don't already hate me. Jessii
