The next day
"Man I'm so glad to be out of that house." Stiles said leaning against the lockers.
"So what time is your dad leaving tomorrow?" Danny asked going through his locker.
"Stepdad." Stiles said correcting him. "And I don't know. Scott and Jackson might not even come home so I guess I'll call you when he does leave. Hopefully it won't be too late."
"This party is going to be insane." Danny said shutting his locker. "Maybe you and Derek will be able to sneak off and talk."
Stiles sighed "You really think I can compete with those guys. I mean girls be all over him even though the whole school knows he's gay and don't even get me started on Ryan."
"Stiles calm down." Danny said. "Guys like Ryan are only after one thing but you really like him don't you?"
"Is it that obvious?" Stiles said looking down.
"Very." Danny said. "Look Stiles you're not only hot and hot but you have the biggest heart I ever seen. I guarantee that Derek will like you."
"Thanks Danny." Turning the halls Stiles saw Derek at his locker talking to Ryan and couldn't help but feel jealous.
OoOoOoOo
"I don't get it." Ryan said to Derek. "I thought we were having fun together?"
"We were." Derek said "But I don't want just fun anymore. I want a relationship that isn't based on sex and you can't give that to me."
"Yes I can!" Ryan yelled. "I can be whatever you want me to be."
Derek shook his head. "I'm sorry Ryan but it's over. You really need to accept that." He turned and walked off.
"It's not over!" Ryan yelled after him. "I'll see you at the party!"
Derek looked back at him the continued his walked. He bumped into one of his friends. "Hey Jake."
"What's wrong with you?" Jake asked.
"Is he still there?" Derek said looking down at his feet.
"Who?" Jake asked looking around.
"Ryan?" Derek said. "Dude he won't accept that it's over."
Jake looked pass Derek and saw Ryan staring at them. "Okay maybe we should go." He said walking off.
"Wait!" Derek said going after him. "There is something wrong with him."
Jake smiled "Considering the death glare he just had on me I'd say that something was wrong with him. So what are you going to the party as?"
Derek chuckled "I don't know maybe something simple, prince charming in a black suite."
"And the party would be the ball where you would meet your Cinderella?" Jake said smiling.
Derek shrugged "For some reason I think I will. I just don't want Ryan to get in the way."
"I'll deal with Ryan." Jake said. "I'll try to keep him as far away from you as I can."
"I owe you one." Derek said to him.
OoOoOoOo
"So are you going to the party with anyone?" Scott asked his brother.
Jackson shrugged "No I thought we were going together?"
Scott nodded "Yeah but what are we going to look like if we show up with no girls?"
"Like brothers." Jackson said. "I'm sure we'll hook up with someone at the party. Anyway I got to go to class, I'll see you later."
"Yeah." Scott said watching him go.
OoOoOoOo
Lunchroom
"Everyone was talking about the party in class today." Stiles said looking around.
"I know my teacher even said that if we kept talking about it she was going to lower our grade." Danny said smiling.
"Hey." Jackson said walking up to their table.
Danny glared at him. "Where's your evil twin?"
"Ha ha very funny." Jackson said. "I was just going to ask you if you were going to the party Stiles."
Stiles shook his head. "No, your dad said I couldn't."
Jackson smiled "Well if I know anything about you I know you won't disobey him but just in case you do I'll be watching you." He walked off.
"You think he knows something?" Stiles asked looking over at Danny.
Danny shook his head. "He's just trying to scare you. He doesn't know anything so just relax."
Stiles looked across the lunchroom and saw Derek. "What happens after the party. I mean if you're right and we do hit it off how do I tell him that it was me when he's never really talked to me?"
"I didn't think of that." Danny said. "Let's just wait until after the party before we start worrying about everything else."
"Alright." Stiles said.
After dropping Danny off Stiles went home. When he got there no one was home so he went up to his room. He pulled out his suit and mask and sat it on the bed. Staring down at it he played with the necklace around his neck. "I wish you were here mom. You'll know what to do. Do I go to the party and possibly have a great time or do I stay home."
"Stiles." Harold yelled.
Stiles quickly hid the suit and mask just before the door opened. "Sir."
"I'm going to be home around midnight tomorrow." Harold said "Come home right after school because I'm leaving early."
Stiles nodded "Okay." Harold turned and left the room. Stiles smiled and pulled out his phone. Sitting on his bed he called Danny.
"Did you figure out when he was leaving?" Danny asked not bothering to say hello.
"Yeah he said early so I'm guessing around six." Stiles said. "Just come over around seven." He picked up the mask from off the floor. "I really hope this works."
"It will now will you stop worrying." Danny said.
OoOoOoOo
Friday afternoon
Stiles was sitting up in his room waiting for his stepfather to leave. He kept getting up and looking out the window to see if his car was gone. Around six-thirty he finally left so Stiles showered and got dressed. Staring at himself in his full length mirror he thought he looked good but he was also very nervous. A little after seven his phone rang. "I don't think I can do this."
"What?" Danny said. "I'm already outside Stiles. I know you're nervous but you're not backing out now."
Stiles sighed "Alright I'm coming." He left his window open just in case of an emergency then left the house. When he got in the car Danny was smiling from ear to ear. "What?"
"You look amazing in white." Danny said
Stiles looked down. "Thanks."
"Come on put the mask on." Danny said putting his on as well. Not long later they pulled up in front of Derek's house. The music was loud and Stiles could see them dancing inside from the window.
"I bet you it's a lot of people in there." Stiles said.
"You'll have fun I promise." Danny said taking Stiles phone. "I set your alarm for 11:25 alright and mine as well so meet me outside then alright."
Stiles nodded "Alright." Together they got out of the car and made their way to the front door.
