Chapter Nineteen
• Aubrey •
Allison’s plan keeps running through my mind― during English; while I’m in Ms. Morell’s office, insisting that I’m fine. It’s a good plan, if not thought out, but it’s… dangerous. Extremely.
Stiles sends me a text about an hour before school lets out, reading: Bree, meet me after school at the entrance to the reservation. I’ll explain everything. My heart skips a beat, though I don’t forgive him for making me be in Chemistry alone.
When school lets out, I drop my stuff off in Allison’s car. “I’m gonna meet up with Stiles, okay?”
She shrugs. “Do whatever you like, as long as you’re home by seven. I really don’t feel like explaining to my dad why you’re not there for dinner.”
“Wouldn’t want to miss that,” I say, and take off running.
It doesn’t take long to get to the reservation. I’m only slightly out of breath, my dress blowing around me; it’s supposed to be casual, with slits cut at the shoulders, a white bodice, and a flowing skirt the color of the sky― Allison said that it’s a high-low dress, whatever that means. I yank on it uncomfortably, wishing that I had jeans― pants make life so much easier.
Just then, Stiles jogs up― I know it’s him from his scent. When he sees me, he stops, gazing with his lips slightly parted. “You look…”
“I know― I look like a girl. I hate it.”
“Actually, I was going to say that you look amazing,” he says, his voice holding no hint of irony or sarcasm. It makes me pause readjusting my dress, and I stare at him, unable to hide the blush creeping across my pale face. Something about him is different… He seems lighter somehow.
Shaking my head, I try to rid myself of lovely thoughts. “You and Scott weren’t in school today. Where the hell were you, Stilinski?”
He rubs the back of his head, sticking one hand in his jeans pockets and staring down at the ground. When he speaks, his voice shakes. “There’s something I have to tell you.” Oh God, has something happened? “Well, it’s more like a confession.”
“Okay.” I can’t control my racing heart or tame my wild thoughts. “What is it?”
Jerking his head toward the woods, he looks at me, a smile playing at his lips. “How about we go for a walk, and I’ll tell you all about it?” He offers his hand, and hesitantly, I take it. My skin prickles where he touches me, bristling with electricity. He squeezes my fingers, causing me to inadvertently smile.
We walk surrounded by silence, the singular sound of our footsteps matching my heartbeat. “Is everything okay?” I ask, noticing the way that he fingers the edge of his shirt nervously.
