Broken Smile

Chapter 4

Stiles drove Lydia home and then returned to his own.

He was on his bed, looking at the ceiling. What had happened was better than a dream. Finally he met the real Lydia.

He had to try hard to sleep, but evntually, he did.

......

He got to school early but Scott was already there.

-Man yesterday was the best day of my life! ,he said.

-Yeah you tell me about it.

Scott and Stiles exchanged stories. Allison and Scott had an interesting night, indeed. Stiles tried to focus and he was making it when Lydia appeared in the crowd. She was walking with Allison, her usual fake smile on. Her gaze met Stiles' and her smile melted and another one appeared, a real one.

-Stiles... ,Scott was saying.

-Yeah, what? ,Stiles asked, feeling kind of out of place.

A huge grin appeared on Scott's best friend.

-Stiles did anything happened between you and Lydia yesterday..?

-NO SCOTT! No!

-Okay, okay, no need to scream.

Scott laughed and Stiles joined him as they reached Allison and Lydia. Allison smiled and kissed Scott. They looked so happy it made Stiles feel happy too.

-Stillinski. ,Lydia said.

-Martin ,Stiles replied.

-Will you walk me to class Stillinski? We have Biology. We do that together, am I right?

-Yes, you are. ,Stiles answered and they walked away from their stunned friends.

The walked together and people stared. Some of them waved at Lydia and she waved back.

-So Sillinski. About yesterday. I would appreciate it if you kept your mouth shut about it. ,she started.

-You want it to be a secret? ,Stiles asked.

-Yes.

-Not from Scott.

She liked Lydia, sure, but Scott was his brother.

-Okay... Look Stiles I am ready to move on. My old life.. yeah well I'm kind of sick of it.

Stiles smiled.

-So... friends?

-Friends.

........

Days passed and things were just like that. Perfect. Scott,Lydia, Allison and Stiles were friends. Talking to each other, going to the movies. Weeks passed, months. Summer came really fast and the four friends all headed to different directions.

Everything was fine, nothing really surprising happened. When summer was over they all returned home, fresh and ready.

......

It was the first day of school and Stiles was nervous. He kept telling himself that there wasn't anything to be nervous about but his hands were still shaking when he walked in the building.

He scanned the faces and Scott wasn't there. But Lydia was. And she was walking towards him.

Her hair was a little lighter than he remembered, her dark a little darker. Her eyes were shining while she reached him and pulled him into a hug.

She pulled away fast and looked at him.

-Long time, no talk Stillinski, she said.

-Yeah it's been a while... well you grew gorgeous.
