Chapter 3: It's a date.

Malia was at her locker, putting her books away. When she was about to walk away, Jackson came up to her, "Hey Malia." He greeted.

"Uh, hey." She said, feeling uncomfortable. Alison's warning came to mind from yesterday.

"So you fitting in well?" He asked.

"Yeah, I've made friends with Scott, Stiles and Alison." She told him.

"Oh, I'm sure they've would of said things about me." Jackson said.

"Yeah, actually they warned me to stay away from you. So I'-" Malia said before he cut her off.

"And you're going to believe them? You barely know them." He said.

"I barely know you." She said.

"Well, we can change that." He told her, "Look I bought these Taylor Swift Tickets back when I was with Lydia but she's with Stiles now."

Thanks for the reminder.

"And maybe you wanna go with me? It's tomorrow night." He asked.

Stay away from him. Stiles words came back to her but so did her promise to herself to back off.

"Yeah, that'd be really cool." She agreed.

"Great! It starts at 10 but I'll pick you up at 8 so we get some dinner first." He told her.

"Okay, here's my number." She said and gave him her number.

"It's a date." He said before they both walked off to class.

What did I just do?

"Hey, Malia. Tomorrow, Stiles, Lydia, Scott and I are going to the movies. Wanna come?" Alison asked as they sat down for lunch.

"I can't. Sorry." Malia said praying they wouldn't ask why.

"Why?" Stiles asked.

Damn it!

"I uh, have a concert thing with this guy." She said.

"Oooo a date! Who's the guy?" Alison asked.

"Um, uh, no one." Malia said.

"Come on tell us!" Scott pressed.

"It's Jackson."

"WHAT?!" They all said at the same time.

"I know and I remembered what you said but, he had a spare ticket to Taylor Swift and he offered." Malia explained.

"You could of and should of said no." Stiles said and Malia frowned. Why does he care? She wasn't his girlfriend.

"Well, I'm going." She said.

"Going where?" Lydia asked sitting down.

So now she sit's with us.

"Malia's going to a Taylor Swift concert with Jackson." Alison told her.

"What? That was my ticket!" Lydia said.

"I know but you guys aren't together anymore and he asked if I wanted to go with him." Malia explained.

"Whatever." Lydia said, standing up.

"Wait,where are you going?" Stiles asked standing up also.

"To talk to Jackson." Lydia replied not even bothering to look back and Stiles sighed.

Malia realised that Alison catches her bus. So on the ride home, they sat next to each other.

"I still can't you believe you're going out with him." Alison said.

"Would you let it go? It's not even a date. He had a spare ticket and asked me to go with him, and I said yes. That's it." Malia told her.

"I know, that's how it starts but I promise you in a week, when he's done with you. You'll be crying and eating ice cream by the phone waiting for him to call." She said.

"Alison.. Did you and Jackson have a thing before you and Scott?" Malia asked.

"Yes. But it was nothing okay? I was the new girl, the new shiny toy he hadn't broken yet and now you're that toy and when he's done he'll just put you back in the box." She told Malia. "This is my stop. Don't tell anyone. The only people who know are you, me and Jackson." Alison said before getting off the bus.
