First Date | Isaac Lahey |

Four.

I grabbed the books out of my locker and before I could shut the locker I picked up on two familiar voices. "I don't know, Bree... Are you sure its okay that I stay the night at your house? I mean" I looked over at them just in time to see Bree shake her head and cut Jabrea off. "Oh yeah, my parents are out of town for an anniversary trip, Stiles is hanging out with Scott tonight and my brother is camping with some friends." Jabrea nodded, and Bree continued on.

"We can watch chick flicks all night. I even know how to make avocado and honey face masks! It'll give you a nice rejuvenated glow." Jabrea gave a shy smile "Sounds cool."

Bree smiled, nodding her head and closing her locker and hoisting her book bag on her shoulder. "Hey, I gotta go talk to Stiles about a hoodie I left at his house. Meet me out by my car?" Jabrea nodded and smiled walking through the front door.

I slowly walked up behind Bree. "Were you just talking to Jabrea? I thought you said you weren't friends." She gave me a look as if I was the stupidest person on earth. "That was yesterday, Lahey. Keep up" She started walking slowly to Stiles' locker but noticed he wasn't there. She slowly put in the combo to his locker and grabbed a blue hoodie.

"Well what happened today that changed it from not being friends to being friends?" She closed the locker and put the hoodie in her bag. "If you must know your crazy girlfriend bullied her in front of all of the girl's locker room"

"Erica? I'm not even dating her! I'm trying to make Jabrea forgive me and you bringing this up doesn't make me feel any less guilty about hurting her feelings." I thought about what would happen if I saw Jabrea kissing someone.

"I tell you what, if you stop trying so hard I'll help. Okay? I'll talk to her about you tonight." She looked at me to see if I had any disagreements. "Sound good? Good. See you later, Lahey." She walked out the front doors.

I sighed, at least I was getting somewhere. I walked to my car, texting Scott and Stiles: "Wondering if you guys wanted to hang out with Bree and Jabrea. Scott, you can bring Allison. See you at Bree's house." I closed my phone, getting in the car and starting the engine.

"Jabrea, I was thinking maybe we could go to the mall tomorro-" I heard the doorbell ring and I looked at Bree. "Were more people coming over?" Bree shook her head, "No. And I only called for pizza a few minutes ago..." She stood up and walked over to the door.

I heard frustrated whispers. I tried to listen more closely. "What the hell are you guys doing here?" Bree hissed, and Allison frowned. "Scott said we were invited over, I didn't mean to intrude." She tried to glare at Scott who put his hands up in defense.

"I didn't invite myself over, my mom says that's not polite! Isaac told me to come over!" Scott looked confused but all heads turned to Isaac. "My god, Isaac if you're here about you know what, I haven't even talked to you know who about you know what. And this isn't helping me talk to you know who about it any faster." Bree whispered harshly.

Stiles looked at Bree, "What about what? Who's you know who? Is there another guy Bree?" Bree shook her head, "No, not at all, Stiles. By you know who I meant Jabrea."

Allison's eyes widened, "Is this about Isaac and Erica because Bayleigh told me about that during P.E." Scott turned to her, "I heard about that too. You know what I also heard? Olivia isn't a natural blonde" Did I hear them mention my name somewhere in that conversation?

"What about me?" All five heads snapped over to me, looking guilty. "How long were you listening?" Everyone said in unison.

"Long enough to want to know what was going on." I sighed mentally as Bree put on a big smile. I knew she wouldn't tell me. This is why I liked to stay friendless. They always think keeping secrets protects feelings.

"Nothing is going on. Nothing at all. You know what I think I'm going to go call Lydia and Jackson and we can all have a little movie night okay?" She swiped her phone off the coffee table and ran into the kitchen to make the phone call.

•••••••••••••

"Bree, are you serious? I didn't come here to watch the Notebook!" Jackson groaned, "You girls get all emotional and cry. You could at least pick a better chick flick, the guy who plays Noah isn't even attractive"

Stiles smirked, "Most guys complain about just watching the movie, not how attractive the boy is. Do you have something to tell us, Jackson?"

Jackson glared, flinging some of the kettle corn across the row of people and blankets at Stiles.

"Oh I know! How about The Vow?" Allison suggested, seeing it through the case that held all the movies. "I don't know, does that suit your needs, Jackson?" Bree laughed, Stiles seemed to whisper something along the lines of 'That's my girl'. Bree popped the movie in, got right to the main menu and hit play.

I looked down the row a the couples to my left. Then I looked to my right. Me and Isaac were the only ones without a date. I frowned, I wanted to cuddle up next to his side like Lydia, Bree and Allison are doing with their dates. But I did see him kissing Erica. My mind told me to ditch all feelings for him and that he was dirt beneath my feet. But my heart still fluttered at the sight of his smile and the velvet sound of his voice. I shook my head, looking up at the TV to watch the movie.

Right when Leo asked Paige if she wanted to move in I felt Isaac's hand touch mine. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye and saw him smiling, acting like it was nothing while his eyes remained on the TV. I already started making friends...maybe it wouldn't hurt to give second chances.

Not at all happy with this. But I rewrote it three times so I gave up.
