Saved by the Sea (PJOxTW)

Chapter 31

Scott, Stiles and I were currently walking up to an old friend's house for a party Stiles insisted we go to. Stiles had my hand in his, swinging it back and forth, while Scott looked nervous. I could tell Stiles was getting frustrated at him.

"What?" He finally snaps at Scott.

"What do you mean, 'What?'" Scott asks back.

"I mean "What?", and you know what."

"'What' what?" Scott says, confused. I groan at their idiotic line of questioning.

"That look you were giving!" Stiles snaps again. I reach with my other hand to squeeze his arm to calm him down.

"I didn't give a look..."

"Scott, you look miserable right now." I tell him. He glares at me half heartedly.

"You're giving off a look that says the last thing you feel like doing right now is going to a party!" Stiles says.

"It's not that... It just seems weird, going to a different high school's party..."

"What? Would you..." Stiles trails off. I squeeze his arm again.

"Heather is an old friend of ours, Scott. We will go hang out for a bit and if you are still uncomfortable, then we will leave." I offer. Scott gives me a small smile.

"Plus you may meet someone else!" Stiles unhelpfully adds. I nudge him. "Heather said a bunch of her friends will be there, so you can meet someone new and I can show off my girlfriend! Win-win!" I shake my head at him while a slight blush fills my cheeks. I am still getting used to his compliments.

"You're right." Scott admits. I give a fake gasp.

"Stiles! Better soak that up now! You never know if he will admit it again!" I grin at the boys as Stiles bounces excitedly.

"That's right-I'm right!" He exclaims.

"Moving on." Scott says.

"Onward and upward!" Stiles takes his hand and wraps it around my shoulders to squeeze me to his side.

"Let's do this." Scott pumps himself up.

"That's what I'm talking about. Now, look at me." Stiles high fives him, still holding on to me.

"Okay. How's my breath smell?" Scott asks.

"I'm not smelling your breath." Stiles immediately rejects him. I laugh.

"Do you have any gum?"

"Scott! You will be fine!" I say as I drag the boys inside.

"Stiles! Sophia!" We turn to see a blonde haired girl come flying at us. Stiles moves his hand to rest on my hip as our friend crashes into me. I can already tell she is drunk.

"Happy birthday Heather!" I tell her. She steps back and see Stiles holding onto me.

"OMG! Did it finally happen?!" She yells out at us. We both take a step back. "Stiles, you dirty dog! Are you two together?" I glance at the boy in question who grins at me.

"Yeah. We are together." He says. I smile back at him as he leans in to kiss my head.

"Oh My God! You guys! I am so happy! We all knew it would happen!" She continues to yell at us before turning to see Scott. "And who is this cutie?" I laugh at the frightened look on Scott's face.

"Heather, this is Scott. Our best friend." I introduce the two. Heather gives him a smile as Scott gives her a little wave.

"I don't want to leave you as a third wheel to these two! Come downstairs with me and help me pick out a bottle of wine...?" She holds out her hand to him. He looks at me like a deer in the headlights. I nod at him encouragingly, knowing Heather won't eat him alive. He slowly puts his hand in hers and is dragged off. I laugh at the boy before Stiles drags me in the opposite direction.
