A few days after the incident with Scott and his girlfriend Allison, they haven't been talking much. Scott has withdrawn with the world and hasn't shown up to school nor has he talked to any of his friends. Including Stiles. Stiles, has gotten worried about this and he even stopped talking to Allison. Lydia and Stiles have gotten closer since their first date at the resturant, they spend every afternoon at eachothers houses and do homework. They have been dating for 3 months now, and nobody can tear them apart, not even Jackson.
"Ugh, I'm going to fail this test tomorrow Stiles! Can you help me?" Lydia whined as she was trying to study at Stiles' house.
"You will pass Lydia, I have faith in you. Just a few more minutes I have to finish my English paper that was due a month ago."
"You still haven't done it? That was such an easy paper!" She laughed.
"That's what I thought, and I would just get away with not doing it, but coach's orders."
"You can't do that when you're playing sports Stiles, but at least you're getting it done."
"It sucks, I don't know why I do this every year, I'm a good player and everything. Why couldn't he just let this slide?"
"I don't know what to tell you Stiles. Maybe he's just preparing you for real life, like you can't do fun things without doing something you don't want to do."
"I guess, I just don't like it." He set down his pen, and looked at the paper and smiled, "I'm done with the paper and I'll get a passing grade and I can help you!"
He got out of the chair and moved to his bed where Lydia was working, "So what do you need help with?"
"All of this, it doesn't make any sense." She sighed.
"Okay, I'll do what I can. I did take this last year and barely passed it."
A few hours went by, and Lydia went home from studying with Stiles. She finally understood what she was confused by, and Stiles knew she was going to pass. He was on Facebook, checking his newsfeed when he saw that Allison changed her relationship status.
Allison Argent has changed her relationship status to single
Stiles immediately started to freak out, he didn't know whether to ask Scott what happened or comment and ask Allison what happened. He went to her profile and searched her friends and Scott Mccall wasn't listed anymore. What the fuck happened? Why did they break up? It was just a kiss, that shouldn't have anything to do with breaking up? Maybe their date wasn't good? Stiles thoughts ran a million miles a minute, he wasn't expecting this at all. His dad walked in the door, and into stiles room, and stiles closed out facebook and opened up his mathbook to pretend he was studying.
"Hey Stiles, I'm home."
"Hey dad," he said with shrug and continued to look at the page he was reading.
"Are you okay? You're normally not like this."
"Yeah I'm just studying for this next test coming up."
"Oh, you never study for things."
"Coach wanted me to start raising my grades so that I can continue playing, I haven't been playing in the last few games."
"That's good. Well I'll let you study and im going to make some dinner in a little while. I'll let you know when it's ready."
"Okay dad, thanks."
His dad went downstairs to the kitchen and turned on the TV to settle down from work before he made dinner. Stiles closed his book and went back to facebook. He went to Scotts friendlist and page and it said that he was still in a relationship and Allison was no longer his friend. This is really weird, normally after these things Scott would tell me or he would change his relationship status. I hope nothing happened to him. He went back to Allisons page, and saw that she had many comments about what happened and people felt sorry for her.
She replied to one of them: I don't want to talk about why we broke up, it's only between me and him.
He went on chat and asked her whats been going on with Scott.
I don't want to talk about Scott right now Stiles.
She went offline.
The next day at school, Stiles and Lydia were talking by the stairs and laughing before 4th period started.
"So did you pass that test you think?" He asked her.
"I don't know it was really easy, I don't know why I was stressing about it."
"That's good, and I told you not to worry about it."
"I know, I can always count on you for things. So did you pass that paper you were working on?"
"I think so, we'll have to see if I get to play or not. I probably have to anyways." Stiles in a sad tone.
"Why?" She asked in a concerned tone. Stiles didn't even reply to her. "Stiles you can tell me, I won't tell anyone if its bad."
"I don't know if you've noticed but Scott, my best friend isn't here." Stiles said in a loud tone. Neither is Allison." He sighed.
"I have noticed, I just thought they were on a trip or something. I haven't talked to Allison in a long time. I miss her."
"I'm sorry for yelling at you, I'm just really upset about him not being here. I don't know what I was thinking."
"it's okay, I know you've been frustrated about not being able to play, and grades. I just had no idea you were upset about Scott."
"I'm just too upset to even talk about Scott, I haven't talked to him in a long time."
"I'ts okay Stiles, I'm sure he'll talk to you soon. You'll feel better I'm sure." She got up to hug him, and looked in his eyes and kissed him. "You feel any better?"
"A little, thanks. I'll see you at lunch." He grabbed his bag and kissed Lydia one more time and walked to class. She then followed him and went to her class.
She walked into her class, and saw her EX Jackson sitting next to where she normally sits. Are you kidding me right now? He's just going to make me feel like shit, I am finally happy with some boy too.
He looked at her, and she looked at him and quickly looked away.
"What is your problem with me Lydia?" He asked while she was sitting down slowly.
"I don't have a problem with you."
"Yes you do, you give me these glares and you don't talk to me anymore."
"Jackson, it's because I'm in a relationship with Stiles. You've got to respect that."
"Do you love him?"
She quickly looked at him, and gave him a glare before speaking.
"That's none of your business."
"It was just a question Lydia, why cant you answer with a yes or no?"
"It's not up for discussion Jackson why does it matter to you if I love him or not?"
"I just want to know jeez."
"No, you want to know so that you can do anything in your power to make me love him less. It's not going to happen."
"No, I'm not going to do that. I would never ruin a perfectly good relationship."
"Just stop talking to me Jackson, and do your work."
After that Jackson stopped talking to Lydia, and he didn't talk to her for the rest of the period.
She didn't look at him, and couldn't stop thinking about Stiles, she got butterlies everytime she thought about him. She kept looking at the clock, and counting down the minutes and lost focus in her school work.
Lunch came, and the two were sitting at their table talking and laughing. They were being the cute couple that people always want, even Lydia wanted this with jackson but never got it. She wanted to tell Stiles about Jackson, but she knew that he didn't want to hear about it, and to cause a fight between the new boyfriend and the ex. Esp when they don't like eachother.
"You feeling any better now Stiles?"
"So much better now that I'm with you. I forget about all the bad when I'm with you."
Jackson heard this when he walked by them and got disgusted. That is what he wanted with Lydia, but he never got it. He finally knows her answer to his question he asked earlier. He then began to think about all the good times they had together, which weren't many. Why do all the nice guys get all the pretty girls, and they love them more than me? I wish I had her, I want to go back to when things were good but I can't now.
Later before practice Jackson was feeling a little better about what he saw at lunch, and began to talk to Stiles.
"Hey Stiles, I just want to say congratulations on your relationship with Lydia."
"What?"
"I'm happy for you and Lydia."
"Well thanks Jackson." He said with a smile.
"No problem," He turned around and walked to his locker to change for practice.
Stiles did the same. The coach came out of his office, and grabbed Stiles and brought him back into his office.
"Stiles, I just wanted to say that you've improved on your grades."
"Thanks Coach, what are my grades?"
"It's not enough for you to play in this next game, but you have a D in English."
"I turned in that paper this morning that was missing."
"Good, well it still shows your missing it. I'll talk to the teacher in the morning and see what I can do for you."
"Thanks Coach!"
"No problem, but I also wanted to talk to you about one more thing. I just wanted to tell you, You're doing really good in practices and you've really improved over the years you've been here."
"Thanks, that means a lot."
"Good, now go and practice and get those grades up!"
That night after practice Stiles was over at Lydia's house doing homework. He had the biggest smile on his face, while he was working.
"What is with that smile on your face Stiles?"
"The coach and I talked today."
"uh oh, that's not a good thing."
"Yes it is. He was actually nice to me for once."
"What he say?"
"That I have improved in the sport and my grades. And he'll talk to the teacher about the paper I turned in today."
"That's so nice of him. Does this mean you get to play in the next game?"
"I don't know, we'll have to see but I'm not getting my hopes up too high, or setting myself up for disappointment."
"That is so good Stiles! Finally after these few weeks you might get to play! I'll definitely go!"
"I'ts not a sure thing, but I'll love to have you there."
Just then Lydia's mom stepped in her room. "Dinners ready, and Stiles has to go home."
"Alright, be down in a second." She said to her mom. She got up from her bed and hugged and kissed stiles as he got up. "Bye, I'll see you in the morning."
He left her room and she followed him down the stairs and as they got to the door, they kissed again, and laughed.
"Night Lydia, see you in the morning."
"Night Stiles, drive safe." She closed the door and went to her family. She had the biggest smile on her face but her parents did not.
"I don't like that boy being here at my house all hours of the afternoon." Her mom said.
"Why? We don't do anything but study!"
"Doesn't he have some other place to be? Like at home with his family?"
"Mom, he's not here all hours of the afternoon, he has practice until 5:30."
"I don't care, he doesn't have to come here everyday."
"We don't do anything but study mom! We actually do work, and our grades show that."
"I don't care, he's not coming here after practice anymore."
"Mom, when I was dating Jackson you didn't say a word. Why are you saying this now?"
"Why am I saying this now? It's because I don't like him here all hours of the afternoon. Jackson wasn't here all hours of the afternoon. I am having a hard time believing that he's in sports."
"Mom he is. Do you think that Stiles just comes here when you're not here? I would never do that!"
"I don't believe that, tomorrow Stiles isn't coming over here."
"How else am I going to see him after school?"
"You can go to his house."
"Are you saying that you don't want me dating him?"
"I'm not saying that Lydia, I'm saying Stiles shouldn't be here every day."
"Fine."
She got up from the table and ran up to her room, and slammed the door behind her. She picked up the phone and called Stiles.
"Hello?" Stiles said picking up the phone.
"Stiles… I want…" She started crying.
"What is it?"
" I want to come over to your house to stay for a while."
"Okay, do you want me to pick you up now?"
"No, not tonight but tomorrow after practice take me to your house."
"Okay, that'll work. Night, and I'll see you in the morning."
"Thanks, goodnight. Love you."
They both hung up the phone and went to bed.
