Cora's p.o.v
Sunday
Uh..Sundays. My favourite day of the week, and Saturday of course. I stretch and then snuggle back into my blanket. The moment is ruined when someone knocks on my door. Derek.
"No, go away" I groan. "I'm too tired for your brooding Derek" he learnt last weekend not to wake me on a weekend day. He wanted to talk to me about Scott and what happened at his house last Friday but I just yawned in his face and dived under my covers again. He tried to pull them off me and he ended up on his ass, thrown into my doorway. So why he's trying to wake me up early again is beyond me. Guy must have a death wish or something. I assured him later on that we just studied and he drove me home. I could tell he was listening to my heartbeat and couldn't help but feel nervous even though I know I wasn't lying. Then there was Wednesday when I went over there to study. But after I 'sassed' him with my new knowledge, he hasn't said anything.
"That's rude!" Derek yells up to me. Then who's at my door?
"Come in" I say, moving so I can see the door. It opens and in steps in Lydia. "Oh, hey" I say, sitting up. Lydia and I have grown close these past few weeks and i'm liking our friendship. I've gotten closer with Scott and Stiles as well.
"What are you still doing in bed?" she asks.
"It's Sunday?" I ask her in confusion.
"Did you not get my multipe texts?" she asks. I grab my phone off my bedside table. Oh. 5 messages from Lydia.
"What's going on?" I ask her, putting my phone back down and laying down again.
"No, get out of bed" she says. "We're going out"
"Out? Where?" I ask her, pulling myself up again, my entire body protesting.
"It's what I text you. Me, you, Scott and Stiles are going bowling" she says. I feel a smile come to my face. "I knew you want too" Lydia smiles too. "Now come on, get your dress on"
"Dress?" I whine.
"The dress we got, you're wearing it" Lydia asserts. I get up and Lydia finds the dress, handing it to me. I roll my eyes but go into the bathroom and get changed. When I come out, Lydia wolf-whistles. I roll my eyes again. She looks alot better than I do, from what i've heard, mostly from Stiles, she always looks this good.
"Let's go then" I say.
"Na uh-uh" Lydia says. "Come here" I groan and go over to her. She pulls out her mascara and applies a little. She hands me a lipgloss and lets me put it on myself. She lets my hair down, using her fingers to tame it a little and make it flow down my back. "There we go" she smiles, moving me over to my mirror. I'm very suprised at what I see. I look like..a girl. "And I brought these for you to wear on your feet" I can feel the heels staring at me but when I turn around, i'm pleasantly suprised to see black ballet flats.
"Thanks Lydz" I smile. I slip them on and feel..good. Strangely, I feel comfortable.
"Okay, let's go, the boys will meet us there" she tells me. I nod and follow her down the stairs. "We're leaving, Cora will be home later" Lydia tells Derek as we pass him, his nose in a book again.
"Okay, fine.." he trails off and double takes when he sees me. "Cora?"
"Yeah.." I say.
"Um.."
"She looks good, right?" Lydia says, glaring at him.
"Yeah, great" he says.
"Now, we need to go" Lydia says, grabbing my hand.
"Wait" Derek says. We both turn back to him. "Where are you going like that?" he asks. I look to Lydia to answer..well lie. She's a very, very good liar. I'm lucky if I can lie to Derek, especially if he's listening to my heartbeat which he definately would in this situation.
"Cora and I are going bowling, might see a movie. Just the two of us, little day out in town" she says. She slows her voice down over the second sentence a little. I listen in and she manages to steady her heartbeat as well. Clever girl.
"Oh. Well..have fun. Do you need money?" Derek asks me.
"No, i've got some, thanks though" I say with a smile. He gives me a small smile.
"Okay seriously, we need to go" Lydia says. I roll my eyes and wave goodbye to Derek before following Lydia out. I don't express my worry until we're driving away.
"He's going to find out you lied" I say nervously.
"You mean WE lied" Lydia corrects me. "And no, he won't"
"How will he not? He'll see us or smell one of them" I stress.
"Scott will be safe from your brother" Lydia smirks.
"I'm worried about Stiles too" I defend.
"But you're more worried about what Derek will do to Scott if he finds out about the little thing you two have going on"
"There's no little thing" I object.
"Yeah, sure there isn't" she teases.
"Don't tease me" I sigh sadly. Lydia looks guilty.
"Sorry Cor" Lydia apologises.
"It's okay" I assure her. "I just think I may, emphasis on the MAY, have a teeny tiny crush on him" Lydia smiles at me.
"I think he has the same teeny tiny maybe crush on you too" she tells me.
"You think so?" I ask her.
"I know so" she says. I blush a little. "You going to go for it?" she asks me.
"I don't think so.."
"Why not?" Lydia asks. We pull up at the bowling alley and luckily, the conversaion ends as Scott and Stiles see us. "Well, today's a perfect time to find out what could happen" she says.
"Shut up Lydz" I say half-heartedly. We get out and i'm met with two dumbstruck males. "What?" I ask them. Stiles is the first to recover.
"Cora, you look good" he says.
"Thanks" I say, smiling. Then his eyes fall to Lydia and whole new level on dumbstruck comes to them. I watch as he walks over to her with goggly eyes. I know he's with Malia but from what i've been told there's alot of history between them and unresolved sexual tension. Sounds stupid and complicated and i'm going to use that information to tease Lydia next time she teases me about Scott.
"You look really beautiful" I turn towards where the voice came from. Scott's smiling cutely and I blush at the compliment.
"Thanks, you're looking pretty handsome yourself McCall" he grins and we all walk inside.
..
"Wanna go with me?" Scott asks me. "You know, Stiles will wanna go with Lydia so.." he says quickly. I chuckle a little.
"Sure, i'll go with you" we all key in our names..well Stiles does it for us. Scott is MCCALL. Lydia is GENIUS. He is GOD and i'm HALE. God Stiles is an idiot. We all have a laugh about the nicknames though. My smile drops when Scott and I's names pop up on the screen first.
"Ladies first" Scott says as Stiles and Lydia go and sit down.
"Scott..I can't bowl" I say quietly, the humans unable to hear us. He chuckles and shakes his head. I've actually only been bowling once..that was before the fire, a long time ago.
"Here, i'll show you" he says, coming over to me. He moves so he's behind me. I feel that fluttering in my stomach again. He brings his hand over mine that's holding the bowling ball. He shows me how I should throw. "See? Easy, you can do it" he says. I nod and take a deep breath before bowling. We both watch as it rolls down the alley, knocking down 2 pins. We both laugh at the bad attempt but I don't mind. I'll bowl even worse, if that were possible, if Scott would stay where he is now. I don't know who did it but I find myself being hugged and hugging into him. I'm pretty sure it wasn't my doing.
"Thanks Scott" I say, kissing his cheek and moving to sit down so the others can take their turn. Stiles gets up and nudges Scott, wiggling his eyebrows. Lydia smirks at me and I realise what I just did. I just..kissed..Scott. Okay.. I kissed Scott on the cheek. And I liked it. By the blush in his cheeks, I think he liked it too.
..
"Night guys, that's for a good day" I say, getting out of Lydia's car. Stiles followed us here in his Jeep as the loft's on his way home as well. The sun's gone down..it's actually quite late. We went from bowling to the movies, went out to dinner and somehow it's edging on midnight. And we have school tomorrow.
"No problem, we had a blast" Stiles says from the Jeep.
"I better get up to Derek" I say.
"I'll walk you up" Scott says, getting out of the Jeep. Stiles and Lydia share a grin. "It's late and it's dark. Like Mum said, werewolves need to be careful in the dark too"
"Okay, thanks" I say, starting to walk up with Scott. I wave goodbye to the other two. I open the loft door and i'm met with darkness. I turn back to Scott. "Thanks for walking me up..and for helping me bowl today" I say. He smiles.
"It's okay, you were struggling" he says.
"Barely" I tease, nudging him. "Okay, I better get inside"
"Okay" he says. He leans in slowly and carefully kisses my cheek. "Goodnight Cora"
"Goodnight Scott" comes Derek's voice. Jesus christ! We jump in suprise. He comes out of the darkness. His face is an calm-angry and that's not a good combination with him.
"Uh..i'll see you tomor-"
"Goodnight Scott" Derek grounds out. Scott nods and gives me a soft smile before turning around and leaving. I close the loft door and walk past Derek. He catches my arm. "Hold it" I pull my arm out of his grasp.
"I'm going to shower then i'm going to bed" I say, walking towards my room.
"Where have you been? Lydia said you two were going out for the day, just you two"
"We got caught up" I tell him.
"What was that then?" Derek asks, following me.
"What was what?" I ask innocently.
"Cora" he says. "What going on between you and Scott?" he asks.
"Nothing" I say, going into my drawers for clean clothes.
"Don't lie to me" he says.
"I'm not lying" I say. "We aren't dating" I say, going towards the bathroom.
"That's not what I asked" he says. I turn to him and he's watching me expectantly. I sigh and close the bathroom door, locking it without giving him an answer. I turn the shower on and I know he's still in my room. He sighs and walks out, slamming my room door shut behind him. I lean my forehead on the bathroom door. I get undressed and step into the shower. I get out and quickly get dressed before slipping into bed. Sleep doesn't find me easily.
