Why Would You Ever Kiss Me?

Electrive Love

Stiles POV
We're trying this again. A triple date. Scott, Allison, me, Stassi, Lydia and Jackson. Third times a charm right?
College acceptance letters have been coming in and Lydia got into Columbia and Jackson has a full ride to Duke for lacrosse.
So, we're uh, celebrating.
Laser tagging. Yup. Nothing bad can happen in the dark with this group right?

We're already anticipating Stassis acceptance to Stanford, she's a shoo-in. And with Scott's improved grades, he took a shot at a lacrosse scholarship to Stanford too.
Allison applied to everywhere. So far she has been accepted to Pepperdime in Malibu, USC, University of Las Vegas, and Arcadia University in Pennsylvania. And they're still coming in for her.
But for now I wait. For that sweet sweet day that I open that letter and it says Congratulations! You have been accepted to Stanford University!

I always dream of scenarios of going to college with Stassi and Scott. You know my two best friends by side during the biggest turning point in my life! I think of all the times well have, like right now but better, and for longer.
But I still can't decide on a major. I mean, business is solid and there's always work, but it can get boring and repetitive. Science is competitive and hard for finding employment. I couldn't even fathom the medical field, I mean I passed out when Scott got his tattoo and I'm still scared from when Derek almost cut his arm off in front of me.
Geez.
I'm also not to sure what else I'm good at or who I am really you know?

I mean how do people expect us to make this choices now? There's 200 countries I've never visited, 7 billion people I've never met, so many things I've yet to experience. How am I, at 18, supposed to know what I love and what I want to do for the rest of my life when I barely know who I am?

Another reason why I want Stas and Scott there. Because I'm not sure of anything but I'm sure that if they're there with me, how bad could it go?

"Dad! I'll be back!" I yelled heading out the door.
"Alright pal. What are you doing again?"
"Laser tag." I said.
"Ah yes. Uh be careful. You know it's dark and you're clumsy. I don't want Scott's mom calling me that she put a cast on you."
"Noted." I said laughing.
"Have fun!"

I also felt a bit guilty if I do get in, leaving my dad. I mean he's going to be all alone. I know he tells me not to worry about him but I do, he's my dad. It's been the two of us for so long it's all we know. I like keeping an eye on him and being there for him.
His job takes a toll. I like to be there for the ugly calls that mess with people.
But then I'll feel guilty if I don't get in because my mom and all that.
Damned if I do damned if I don't.

I had deja-vu driving to pick up Scott and Allison. The look of the trees and the empty roads, the gloomy sky and the cool breeze that creeps into my car.
The little things.

"Hey man." Scott said climbing in the back with Allison.
"Hey guys." I said forgetting what I was over thinking.
"You get your letter yet?" Scott asked.
"Nah." I said remembering what I was over thinking and backing out of his driveway and heading to get Stassi. "You?"
"Nah. I got the tryouts next week though."

We got to Stassis and got through the gates, then the other set of gates, then the front gates. Her brother was outside and came up to the car.
"Hey man how you been?" He asked shaking my hand and saying hi to Scott and Allison.
"Good Newt what's going on?"
He clicked his tongue and shook his head. He was holding one of the babies. I have no clue which one.
"Babysitting duty for me tonight." He said. "This one would not stop crying because I let the dogs out. She doesn't like when they're not around.
I rubbed the babies cheek and she grabbed my finger looking at it.
"Hi Theo." I said in a really weird high pitched baby voice.

The dogs then came to see who we were and Theo could not stop laughing when they jumped up sticking their heads in my car. I pet Kiba on the head as he sniffed my face.
Newt pulled him down but he was still tall enough to see into the car.
It kind of reminded me that I should definitely spend a bit more time at Stassis house and with her family.
I know how close they are and their relationship is so special. It feels nice feeling like I'm apart of their family.
