Why Would You Ever Kiss Me?

Still Into You

Stiles POV
It was Sunday and I was bored out of my mind. So I did what I always want to do.
I picked up my phone and heard her sweet voice on the other end.
"Hey you." She said.
"What are you doing right now?" I asked.
"This a flirty thing or.."
"No! I mean it could be but.." She laughed and I could see her smile in my head. "I wanna hang out. Just us two." I said truthfully.
"Come by in 10." She said.
"Yes ma'am." I replied.

She hung up and I also have no idea what we're going to do. I wanted to do something for her and fun. I mean despite all the shit going on, I wanted to remind her that we're still 18 and I want to enjoy every moment I can with her.

I still had to think about college. What was I going to do? I knew that high school was just a social thing for her how could I possibly ask her to follow me to college?
I didn't even know what I wanted. Should I stay local? Do I go out of state? What do I even major in?
I have no clue of where I want to go for the next four years and I have no clue what I want to do for the rest of my life but I do know that I want to spend the rest of it by Stassis side. That's the only thing I'm sure of.

I know I'll have to figure it out soon and I know I'll have to have some sort of talk with her. It's a lot to ask and it's a lot to think about. I just want to pack her up and take her with me. No matter where it is. I just hope she understands and feels the same.

"Hey pal.." My dad said as I grabbed my keys. He waved a pamphlet at me.
I recognized the colors maroon and white.
"Stanford." I said.
"Yeah!" My dad said excitedly. "I've been reading it between your GPA, community service hours, and extra curriculars, you're a definite acceptance."
"Yeah.." I said kind of forgetting applications.
"Just like your mother." He said proudly.

Stanford was my dream school. My mom went there and I felt like maybe if I did too I'd do her memory some justice.
It was about 5 hours away from Beacon and closer to 5 1/2 hours away from LA.
I mean that could work right?
"Well apply later. You seem in a rush." He said at my silence.
"Uh yeah I was just going to pick up Stassi." I said looking up from the pamphlet to him.
"Talk to her about it son. A letter of recommendation from Mr. Stark would look amazing."
"Yeah dad, sure thing." I said.
"Drive safe. And have fun." He said as I closed the door behind me.

I sat in my car for a second and just breathed. What was I going to do?
Long distance? Can that even work? I don't even think I want it to work that way. I can't just be friends with her and I can't have a relationship over facetime and texts. I want to just exist with her.. by her!
I sighed and started the car. The whole drive I looked around Beacon.
I mean this place is cursed and boring at the same time. But everything I have ever loved resides here. My dad, Scott, Stassi!
I'll miss the weather even though the gloom stays too long and some street lights don't work and there's not that much to do, I'll still miss it. Its part of who I am.

"Hey Stiles." The guy at the gate said.
"Hey how's it going?" I asked.
"Another day kid." He said and I laughed.
"I hear ya." I replied as the gates creaked open. He scoffed.
"Nu uh. Enjoy your youth!" Huh.
He's right and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
I am going to stop obsessing over something I have no control over right now and that I don't have to make a decision right now. I'm going to enjoy my day with my favorite person in the world, and enjoy my youth.

I pulled around the roundabout and waited with my car parked out front. Before I could even get out of the car I saw the blinds move and her face disappear and the front door opened. She closed it behind her and she skipped down the steps.
She had on loose ripped jeans and a tight mint green shirt with buttons in the front. And her hair was up. Which I was not used to but she definitely looked cute.
She opened the door and climbed in.
"Hey baby.." I said as she closed the door. She had on the biggest smile.
