Not your type >< Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 7: shopping

Wandering around aimlessly the blonde, the strawberry blonde and the brunette walked through Macy's. Sienna had figured to herself the whole drive there that when they were ready to talk to her, when they knew that they could trust her, it would be then when they explain everything, explain exactly what she had heard and exactly what Scott meant. So now the only thing she wanted to do most was earn their trust, not with any ulterior motives, but purely for fact she wanted to feel trusted enough to know the whole truth about what had happened.

Outside of the car when they were still at school, she had heard the girls sticking up for her and she was more than thankful for that. However, the entire impression that she had built up in her mind of Scott had deteriorated quite rapidly by the few words she heard him say and the undying curiosity about the rest that were said by him yet unheard by her. She did like him before, however after knowing what he thought about her and her potential to endanger them all and trying to convince her friends to be aware of her, changed that slightly. Sienna wasn't bad, she wasn't going to hurt anyone or get anyone killed. It had hurt her to think that despite only having limited interactions with him, she figured they were still on good terms. Apparently not. It's some ridiculous assumption, he doesn't even know her, he hadn't made the effort to know her and he didn't even seem like he was going to anytime soon, like he would happily just stick to steering clear of a friendship with her. Scott's opinion on her was very clear, so she knew she didn't want to even attempt to repair the broken fragments of a potential friendship before it had even began.

However, her opinion on Stiles now very much hung in balance. She hadn't heard him speak up, to her knowledge, the entire time he remained extremely indifferent to the argument that was displayed out in-front of him, but because he was such close friends to Scott- surely he was bound to think the same. So if staying away from Scott meant staying away from him to, then she was okay with that. Besides, she barely even knew him.

She thought it was out of either stupidity or jealousy that he was frustrated with her spending time with the girls. Sienna was just a teenager, with some not so normal issues, but regardless, she was still just a teenager. How can they seriously believe she was a threat?

*****

The dance was just under two weeks away and none of the girls had yet found an outfit or any accessories that they liked enough to wear. Two hours later, still at the shop and they still had yet to decide what to choose, however, they would definitely come back to Macy's at least 4 times before the dance anyways.

Ending up with no purchases and a very stressed atmosphere around them all, they decided to try again another day and hope the selection of dresses would be better when they come back.

All now hungry and annoyed after the hours of being there and having nothing to show for it, they headed towards an Italian restaurant the three girls decided to spend their outfit money on some food instead.

Sitting down at a dark oak table, Sienna and Lydia beside one another and opposite to Allison. Each flicking between the menus, choosing which meal to buy. All the girls settled for a pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni, along with a large side of fries and cokes each.

Laughing and talking whilst waiting for their food to arrive, the girls had completely forgotten about the whole Scott and Stiles situation. Dancing along to the music that was echoing through the restaurant, the girls had not a worry in the world as their heads nodded along to the beat and the conversation flowed effortlessly between them.

Eventually, their meals arrived. Served on three large, black slate boards with their cutlery tightly wrapped in a crisp-white napkin.

Tucking in and enjoying the peace, it was a memory made that night, one that they would keep in their hearts forever.

Just as they finished eating, tiding away their things and putting the boards and used cutlery to the end of the table for the waitress to collect. A familiar boy sat down with someone who they figured to be his mum, on the table adjacent to them.

Sienna noticed this first, as she then sent each of the other two girls a look and silently told them to follow her gaze back to the boy. Jake Richards. Sitting with a middle aged woman, she looked kind of similar to him with the same colour hair as his, however she had crinkles beside her azure blue eyes and freckles sprinkled across her cheeks.

The boy and woman were seemingly engrossed in a conversation that was apparently about something funny, as the three girls could hear the sounds of their laughter from where they sat. Shortly, the teenage boys eyes surveyed the room and as he did so, his eyes met the three girls that just so happened to be looking in his direction. Shocked a little by them all staring at them, he looked a little confused but gave them a short wave with a smile, which they all slightly less enthusiastically returned.

Just as the three girls headed out of the restaurant, their hands reaching for the doors handles, a voice called Siennas name and in unison the three girls looked back. It was the same boy that they'd had the short interaction with just moments ago, but this time he was walking closer to them. Sienna stopped walking out of the restaurant as she turned her body to face his and walked a step in his direction, the two girls followed behind ensuring they hadn't blocked the big glass door that exited and entered the building.

There was something small gripped between his palm and five fingers, the light that shined down onto it was reflected back like sparkles in his hand as he quickly came closer to catch up with the three girls. Something silver now clearly dangled in his hand, however he still held onto it tightly as he again breathlessly, repeated Siennas name again.

Now standing beside the girls, he held his palm out and a small chain revealed itself from beneath his fingers. Siennas eyes looked down towards her neck and her hand went to touch it as well, feeling her upper chest confirmed what she realised. The necklace she had worn since the day she and her friends from England had put it on, had somehow fallen off. Looking back up to Jake she sent him a very appreciative smile as she took back her jewellery, the clasp had broken however it was easily replaceable. Carefully, she placed it into a small zipped pocket in her handbag, as the two girls stood behind her hadn't really paid attention to their interaction as they conversed between themselves.

" I-I saw it on the floor and recognised it from the other day. I thought you'd want it back" Jake smiled awkwardly as he tucked his hands into either side of his denim trouser pockets.

"Yes, yes Thankyou so much! It's quite special to me, I'm glad you noticed because I didn't" She brushed her hands through her hair and gave him another sincere smile.

I guess he isn't so bad. She mentally decided to give him another chance at a potential friendship, not that he was really even was aware he'd blown the first one. She figured that she had judged him too quickly in class, he seemed sweet maybe he was a bit of a 'try hard' and mysterious but that didn't make him a bad guy. Right?

They said their goodbyes and the teenage boy headed back to his table as the three girls finally left the restaurant. The girls hadn't noticed that she'd even lost her necklace as it was always covered up, even today her grey jumper covered her neck. Sienna then began to wonder how Jake had even seen it in the first place, since she always had it hidden beneath her tops, not even her friends had really seen it, she wasn't really actively hiding it she just didn't want to reveal something so personal that was to do with her old life just yet, not when they were hiding their own things from her as well. She didn't think too hard about it as she often had to re-adjust it in class, due to it rising or moving out of place, so he probably just looked at the time it was over her top instead of beneath it.

They all made their way back to Lydia's car as they were all ready to go back home.
Siennas house was the first one they reached, they said their goodbyes. The blue car drove off and she headed up towards her house. She took her keys out and unlocked the front door. Not wanting to wake her mum who was probably asleep already, she tiptoed upstairs and headed straight to the bathroom. Changing quickly into some old red chequered shorts and a matching top, she brushed her teeth then headed to her bedroom. Practically collapsing into her bed, she buried her head into her pillow and she pulled the duvet up past her neck. Moments passed and Sienna had already  fallen asleep, her window half open and the cool breeze blowing in. She'd fallen asleep thinking back to her friends in England, her past and her memories, her necklace. She did miss them. But life is better here.
