Chapter Eight Part 1

~Corinne's POV~

They stands were full of people as I made my way to my seat next to Allison. The game had started already but I didn't miss much. Boyd and Erica were a row below me and I waved to them before hugging Allison. I was sitting in between her and her dad and Lydia was on the opposite side of her.

"Hows it going so far?" I asked Allison referring to the game.

"Scott hasn't scored yet, I think they aren't passing him the ball on purpose." she didn't look away from the field as she spoke, watching the game intently.

"He hasn't scored because he doesn't know how to play." Lydia mumbled. Allison wasn't paying attention but I heard her and rolled my eyes.

"On the field Jackson and Nate were on fire. We were still losing but they were playing their asses off. I made my way down the bleachers to the bench where Stiles was sitting and watching the game just as intently as Allison.

"Everything okay?" I asked causing him to jump a little.

"Hey, Cori. Um, yeah, everything's okay. Just watching the game. Why'd you come down the bleachers?" I frowned a little then smiled at him.

"I always come down the bleachers. I don't think I've ever spent an entire game without sitting down here at some point. Coach doesn't even care that I'm down here anymore. He used to hate it and tell me to leave. You think he'll let you play?" He made a face.

"I think the chances of me playing in this game will increase the day we actually start dating." I laughed understanding what he meant. He laughed too and I squeezed his hand.

"I'm sure you'll get your chance. He'll realize that he needs you in the game this season. I don't know when but I'm positive he will get his head out of his ass and put you in." He gave me a half smile and I stood.

"Where are you going?"

"Back up to the bleachers. I can't see my guys very well from here." he frowned a little.

"Your guys?" he asked and I nodded.

"I can see you but I can't see Jackson, Nate or Isaac. I just see uniforms." I laughed lightly and hugged him.

"So are you and Isaac a thing now? I saw you kiss him on the sideline. Do I need to give him the speech about how I'm going to rough him up if he hurts you? Because I will." I laughed.

"You won't need to do that. We aren't official or anything but hopefully we will be soon. I really like him and hopefully he'll ask me on a date soon. You want to talk to him about anything you could advise him on that." I gave him a huge wink and h laughed.

"Go back up the bleachers, Cori. Isaac can't see you very well when your down here." he nudged me and I left.

The game continued on and Scott finally got the ball. When he didn't it was score after score after score. He was making every shot and at one point a player deliberately threw him the ball. I stood and cheered as he scored again. He ran back down the field, Nathan right behind him with some opposing team members.

Scott had the ball and ran down the field. Nathan tried to take the ball and the both were breathing heavy as Scott was surrounded by the opposing players. He stood there and I was shouting with Allison for him to throw the ball.

Scott looked around and ran forward some before throwing the ball. It tore through the goalie's stick and the crowd roared and cheered. I ran down the bleachers with Allison and went straight for the field towards Isaac. Allison ran towards Scott and I couldn't see Stiles in the masses.

"Hey!" Isaac called out to me and I ran over to him as he wrapped his arms around me for a hug.

"You did great out there!" I told him, having to yell over the crowd.

"I didn't do much. It was all Scott and your brother and Jackson." I smiled at him.

"You did great Isaac." I took off his helmet and I could see him smiling at me now, he had the most adorable smile.

"Thank you. I heard you cheering for me."

"I was hoping you did." I said biting my lip. Isaac's hands were on my hips now and I felt like this moment with him was great.

He leaned forward and kissed me softly. I smiled against his lips and wrapped my arms around his neck. I pressed my lips against his and he pulled me closer to him as I opened my mouth slightly. He opened his too and I felt a chill go down my spine when our tongues touched. He kissed me a few moments longer before pulling away and smiling at me.

"I have to go change." he said before pecking me on the lips.

"Can I come?" I said jokingly and his face got a little red but I kissed him again and he smiled.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked. I knew he probably wouldn't be able to go out after the game with me so I nodded and we hugged one more time before he walked off. I turned and saw Jackson and Lydia.

Being with Isaac made me feel better about talking to Jackson, it made me forget how I felt about him and I could speak to him like the best friend he was to me. I walked over to him as Lydia kissed him and walked away.

"What's happening hot stuff?" I told him jokingly. I always told him that after he won a game.

"Nothing much," he said turning around with a smile. "We just won and I'm hoping to hang out with my amazing best friends to celebrate."

"I'm going out with some friends. You can come if you want. Allison, Scott, Matt, Boyd, and Erica are coming. You can bring Lydia if you want. We are just going to Chili's or something." He started walking towards the locker rooms and I walked beside him.

"I don't think I can." I frowned and crossed my arms.

"Why not?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I'm the captain of the lacrosse team and I don't hang out with people I've never heard of. Those guys are probably losers and I can't hang out with them unless I want to ruin my rep." I rolled my eyes.

"Why am I not surprised?" he laughed.

"Because you know me. I'll be at Chili's with Danny but it will be just me and him and Lydia. Nathan is welcome and so are you." He put both hands on my shoulders. "You should really reassess the people you hang out with. I'm telling you this because I care, in high school, social statuses are everything." I shrugged him off.

"Whatever, Jackson. I don't care about social statuses. You should go change, you reek." I nudged his shoulder and he hugged me.

"I love you, Cori." he whispered in my ear.

"I love you too." I pat his back and he let go before walking to the locker rooms to change.

~()~

I met up with Boyd and Erica to make sure they were okay with Chili's. They left before me and I said I would meet them there. I searched for Matt and found him snapping some pictures of nothing in particular.

"Hey, we are going to Chili's. You ready?" he smiled.

"Totally. Are you giving anyone a ride there?" I shrugged.

"I don't think so. I just have to tell Allison and my brother. You want to ride with me?" I asked.

"Yeah, that'd be great." I smiled.

"Awesome. You know what my car looks like so I'll just meet you there. I have to go tell Allison." I turned to leave but he grabbed my shoulder.

"Who is going with us to Chili's?" he asked and I thought for a moment.

"Me, you, Boyd, Erica, Nathan, Allison, Scott. That's it. I'm not 100% sure that Scott s coming and Nathan might bail on me. He's been doing that a lot lately so we'll have to see. That's everyone I invited though." He nodded and I turned to find Allison.

"Allison!" I called when I saw her walking away from the boy's locker room smiling.

"Oh, hey!" she smiled. "Are we still on for tonight?" she asked still smiling. I would have to find out why later, I needed to hurry and leave so Erica and Boyd weren't waiting too long.

"Yes, of course. Where am I meeting you?" she pulled pout her phone.

"At Chili's. I'm on my way there right now. Boyd and Erica are probably there already and I'm taking Matt in my car. I'm just going to text Nathan and hope he gets the message."

"Okay. I can't wait." she smiled and gave me a quick hug before we went separate ways.

I sent Nathan a quick message about Chili's and went to my car where Matt was waiting.

"Sorry, I tried to hurry. You ready?" I asked unlocking the doors.

"Definitely." he got in the passenger side and we were off.

We didn't say much at first but when Matt saw some of the CD's I had in my car a conversation started quickly. All of the covers on my CD cases had been replaced with original drawings of mine. In the backseat he saw my camera and went through the nature shots, he was very impressed and it made me smile that someone was interested in it. I didn't show my work to most people because I didn't think it was good enough. Stiles, Jackson, or Nathan had ever seen the shots and I felt better about showing them since Matt had seen.

"You should really come to yearbook more often. There are so many things you could take photos of, your really good."

"Thanks. I don't usually show people that stuff." he looked surprised.

"Why not? They are better than a lot of the nature shots I've seen." I blushed.

"Maybe I will show someone." The first person who popped in my head was Isaac. I wasn't sure how he felt about photography but I hoped if anyone liked it he would.

Matt told me about some of the shots he'd taken recently and we talked about photography until we reached Chili's. We walked inside and saw Boyd and Erica waiting. Allison and Scott came in a few minutes later and I gave them both hugs. We were all talking and deciding what to order when Jackson walked in alone. He walked right up to our table and sat next to me.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered as everyone looked at him.

"I didn't want to leave you alone tonight, I meant what I said about hanging out with my best friends. I also meant what I said about loving you. I would do anything for you, Cori. Even sit through dinner with your lame friends."

"I don't need you to do anything for me." I hissed, a little irritated with him.

"What you do need is one of your best friends and I'm the only one available right now." He said with a smile.

I rolled my eyes. "Behave."

"Of course, babe." he said putting his arm around my waist.

A/N: So these last two chapters were late since I had a lot going on these last two weeks with school. I will upload part two which is the rest of dinner and some stuff that happens after. Matt and Corinne, as far as I know right now, aren't going to be a thing or anything. He's still going to be crazy about Allison and my story goes along with major things that happened in the show like deaths and what not but for the most part I probably won't write all the stuff that happens with Scott. Thanks for those who reviewed, faved and followed! I appreciate it.
