School hallway the next day

"Do you really think you can find this guy?" Blake asked. "All you have to go on is his necklace."

Derek sighed "That's not all."

"Oh yeah." Blake said smiling. "What else do you know about him, do you even know his name?"

"Will you shut up?" Jake said walking up to them.

"I'm just saying." Blake said.

Jake placed a hand on Derek's shoulder. "Don't listen to him."

"Let me ask you something." Blake said. "Why this guy?"

Derek smiled "I don't know he's just different from the other guys I've been with. He knows what he's doing with his life. He's passionate and the first guy I ever been myself around. I even told him things I've never even told you guy and you're my best friends. I just want to see him again."

"And you got all that from one night?" Bake said.

Derek looked over at Blake. "Are you going to help me or not?"

Jake shook his head. "Of course we'll help."

OOO

"I've searched everywhere but I can't find it." Stiles said. They were sitting outside in the school courtyard. "Jackson was flouring me with questions this morning. What was I doing last night, was I with you and why wasn't I wearing the necklace I've worn every day since my mom left."

"Why did your mom leave?" Danny asked.

"She lost her job and it was hard to find another one. She was always home after that and my stepdad never treated her right. We talked about leaving together but we had no money or a place to go. A few days later she told me that she was leaving to find a better life for us and when she did she was going to come back for me. I haven't heard from her since then and I'm starting to think she'll never come back for me."

"You really think she would forget about you?" Danny asked.

"I don't know." Stiles said. "After she left everything changed. I was blamed for everything and they treated me like crap. That's why I'm working now so I can save enough money to get out of that place."

"Do you need some money?" Danny asked.

Stiles shook his head. "I don't want your money Danny." He decided to chance the subject. "SO what are we going to do about the fact that Derek still doesn't know I exist."

Danny sighed "Maybe you should just tell him it was you."

"What if he doesn't like what he sees?" Stiles said "Leaving me looking like an idiot."

"If you ever want to be with him you're going to have to say something." Danny said getting up.

Stiles got up and followed him. ""Wait so how am I suppose to tell him that it was me. We don't exactly-" he bumped into someone. Looking up he saw Derek. "Sorry." He said quickly walking off.

OOO

Derek looked back at Stiles because there was something familiar about his eyes. They reminded him of the same guy he was with at the party. Shaking it from his mind he dropped it from his mind.

OOO

"See what I'm talking about?" Stiles said to Danny. "He doesn't know I exist."

Danny groaned. "Stiles tell him or I will."

Stiles frowned. "Fine I'll tell him but tomorrow."

After school

Jackson was standing in Stiles bedroom doorway when Scott walked up next to him. "What are you doing?" he asked.

Jackson sighed "I know he's hiding something and I'm going to find out what it is."

"Hey did you hear about Derek and his friends are trying to find that guy from the party. I overheard them talking about a necklace that he dropped while rushing out."

Jackson then realized that Stiles has been missing his own ever since the party. "Go keep watch." After Scott walked off he started going through Stiles things. Looking under the bed he saw a box and pulled it out. Inside was a white suit along with a mask and he smiled. Stiles was the mystery man after all. He put the box back when he heard Scott yell his name from downstairs and went downstairs.

When Stiles came in he saw Jackson and Scott sitting on the couch watching TV. He ignored them and went up to his room.

"Did you find something?" Scott asked once he was gone.

"No." Jackson said getting back up. "I'll be back." He went back up to Stiles room and stood in the doorway. "Hey Stiles."

Stiles looked over at him. "What do you want Jackson?"

Jackson shrugged. "I just wanted to tell you that I know where your necklace is."

"Where?" Stiles asked.

"Derek Hale has it." Jackson said. "I guess when you rushed out of the party you dropped it."

Stiles froze. "How did you know that?"

"I found your box." Jackson said. "You really wore a mask to a party so he wouldn't know it was you. I can see why because if he knew it was you he would have never said a word to you. No one in their right mind would ever be with you and you expect the biggest stud in school to fall for you. When Derek finds out it was you I bet he'll use every excuse in the book to justify what happened at that party. Just face it Stiles, no one will ever want you." He turned and left the room.

Stiles sat on his bed. He didn't believe a word Jackson said. He had a great night with Derek and he was pretty sure Derek did too. Sticking with his plan he was going to tell Derek everything.

The next day

Danny and Stiles were staring at Derek who was sitting with his friends in the library. "Okay I'm just going to tell him." He looked at Danny and smiled nervously. "Wish me luck." He said walking off. He stopped in front of their table and cleared his throat. "Derek can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Um sure." Derek said. Blake and Jake got up and walked away from the table.

Stiles sat down across from him. "You might not know me but my name is Stiles and I was at the party. I know who the guy was you were with."

Derek sighed "Did Blake put you up to this?"

Stiles shook his head. "No he didn't this is all me. I was the guy at the party with you in your bedroom."

Derek just sat there. "I don't-"

"It's true." Stiles said. "If you want I can tell you everything that happened that night. How you told me you don't want to play basketball. How you said that you could be yourself around me and how we almost kissed but my phone rang and I had to leave. I ended up losing my necklace, the one my mom gave me."

"I don't know what to say." Derek said.

Stiles smiled "You don't have to say anything I just wanted you to know." Derek started down at his hands. "Will you say something?"

Derek looked around and cleared his throat. "I'm sorry but that night was a mistake."

Stiles frowned. "What?"

"I never should have told you any of that stuff." Derek looked up at Stiles. "You seem like a nice buy and all but I don't-"

"I understand." Stiles said getting up. "Sorry to bother you." He walked off.

Derek just watched him go. His mind was racing with a thousand different thoughts. He didn't hear Blake and Jake when they sat back down.

"What was that all about?" Jake asked.

"Nothing." Derek said. "Come on let's go."

OOO

"Are you kidding me?" Danny said "How could he do that?"

"It doesn't matter." Stiles said. "Jackson was right, no one wants me." He walked off.

"Stiles!" Danny yelled but Stiles kept going. Looking back at the library entrance he locked eyes briefly with Derek before he headed the other way. What was he going to do now?
