Just because you're insecure...

Heyyyyy. So I can't figure out how to make this bold...so it's not. Anyway...HOW IS UR SUMMER SO FAR!? Wait! I just figure it out.


"You look like crap," Brett comments as Isaac walks through the door.

Isaac shoots him a look and rolls his eyes as he stands next to Derek. "I feel like it too," he mutters.

"I know it sucks but you volunteered to do this," Stiles says, sitting on the ground next to Liam, playing with a pen behind his ear.

"I actually don't remember saying yes," Isaac pointed out. Stiles cut him off.

"Well it was implied," Stiles says back.

"Are you sure we're doing the right thing by keeping this from Scott?" Liam asks, turning to look at Stiles who sighs in agony.

"Yeah. Especially if he knew why I picked Isaac," Stiles whispers to Liam.

Isaac's ears perk up at the comment. "Woah woah woah, what? You said that I was the last one you asked...y-you didn't ask anyone but me, didn't you?" Isaac says, staring at Stiles with disappointment.

Stiles sucks in a breath and lets it out while he gets to his feet. "Listen, Isaac. I can't send anyone else in there except for you."

"Why not?!"

"I don't wanna say," Stiles mutters, rubbing his arm.

"Stiles, what is it?" Isaac said, bearing his teeth.

"Isaac...forget it," Stiles says softly.

Isaac's face was turning red. "What the hell Stiles!?"

"Isaac."

"Just tell me! I'm your friend why can't you tell me!?"

"Isaac."

"I'm sick of this crap Stiles!"

"Isaac, I don't think Stiles is trying to hurt you," Liam says, trying to be calm even though he's never spoken directly to the guy.

Isaac gestures to Liam, his face even redder than before. "So you told your little sex toy but not me!?"

The room went silent as everyone froze and stared at Isaac. Isaac looked around the room, heated but easing his agony as he saw their shocked faces.

He turned and looked at Stiles. Stiles had a shocked and angry look on his face as he stared angrily and emotionally at Isaac. Isaac looked at Liam. Liam tried to avoid Isaac's gaze as his eyes seemed to tear up a bit.

Liam stands up and walks out of the room without a word.

"Liam wait!" Stiles tries to go after him but Derek stops him. "Let me go Derek," he hisses.

"He needs some time Stiles. Plus we still need to work out a plan before Scott suspects where we are," Derek points out.

Stiles sighs and nods as he sits down, irritated.

"And Isaac?" Derek turns to him, who has cooled down and now feels guilty. "Stop acting like an idiot for one second so we can figure this out, please?"

Isaac just nods and stands still, trying not to make eye contact with Stiles.

"Ooookay. Well I guess I'll start off the conversation with the fact that this should be soon," Lydia says awkwardly.

"I agree. But we need a way to spread the news," Derek says.

"Liam and I could go to school and find that leader guy that Drex was talking about. If we can get him concerned without getting ourselves killed, then we can lure them to the woods where we'll do the big scene," Stiles says.

"What if Scott overhears you at school?" Isaac says in a low voice.

Stiles looks at him but doesn't say anything.

"I think it's fair to say that Brett and Marcus are the most careless here so we can send them to Scott's house to stop him from going to school," Derek says, trying to ease the tension.

"And the rest of us can head to the woods," Lydia says.

"Not...everyone. At least not right away," Derek says. "I think you and Kira should be at the school with Stiles and Liam as bystanders. Act like you can't find Isaac anywhere either."

Kira and Lydia share a look of hope and grab each other's hands. "Fine," Lydia says. "But we all meet in the woods afterwards, right?"

"Wrong," Stiles says. Everybody looks at him. "Only two people go. We need to make this look real and if we all show it'll be suspicious. They'll hide in the trees so they can watch over what's happening with ease."

"And who's gonna do that?" Isaac asks, irritated at Stiles' decision.

Stiles glares at him before looking around the room. "Malia and Derek."

"I'm cool with that. I get to watch them wig out over a fake death," Malia says smiling slightly and Derek just rolls his eyes.

"Then it's settled. Two days, then we'll set it up," Stiles confirms.

"Actually, not settled," Isaac says raising his hand. "How am I supposed to 'pretend' to kill someone and make it real?"

"Aww jeez," Stiles breathes out. "Come on let's think, how do you 'kill' someone without actually killing them?" Stiles plays with the pen that was behind his ear.

"Well, there's death by fire, we could slit some throats," Derek brain storms.

"Electricity," Kira adds.

"Sharp objects," Malia says.

"Poison," Isaac puts in.

"Falling off a cliff?" Lydia says cautiously.

"Drowning," Brett says.

"Actually we breathe under water," Drex says, corrupting Brett's answer.

"Oh," Brett says, disappointed.

"Wait wait wait! Isaac what did you just say!?" Stiles interrupts.

"...when?" Isaac asks.

"Just a second ago!" Stiles says slightly annoyed.

"......I said 'when'," Isaac comments and Stiles snaps his pen in half.

Isaac's expression widens. "Oh you mean before that! I said poison."

"We could do that. That might be the only one we could pull off."

"What about Liam's stunt?" Marcus asks.

"He knew they knew he was alive. That's why he did it. They won't know this time," Stiles points out.

"What kind of poison?" Isaac asks.

"It doesn't matter. Just put some water in a cup and force it down his throat. He'll fake a seizure and die. Easy," Stiles says.

"What if they check his pulse or his heart beat?" Brett asks.

"Actually we can slow our heart beats so it seems like we're dead and it has no effect on us," Drex adds.

"Well in that case, everything's going fine," Isaac says.

"Not everything," Stiles mutters, standing up and walking out the door.

Isaac and Derek share a look and pain seems to seep in to everyone's chest.
