Hypervigilance {Stiles Stilinski Book Three}

Chapter 14

"Stiles. Stiles." I say attempting to wake him up. "Hmm?" Stiles groaned. "We've got an early morning practice for the big game tomorrow, remember?" I question. He just turns over. "Come on. We haven't had time to practice in so long, I don't want you to suck." I state.

"Not gonna suck." Stiles mumbles. "You say that now, but you'll be regretting it the second you get on the field tomorrow and get your ass handed to you. We can't be late to practice. Stiles!" I yell. Stiles buries his face even further in the pillow.

"You brought this on yourself." I announce. I resort to methods I haven't used since we were nine. I place my hands on his torso and start tickling him. His body starts flailing around. "Stop!" Stiles begs. "Only if you promise to get up." I reply.

"Okay! I'm awake." Stiles says. I stop the relenting torture. "You are evil." Stiles mutters. "Thank you." I respond. "Don't thank me yet. I still have to get my revenge." Stiles states. "Oh? And what will that be?" I question.

Stiles smashes his lips against mine. I immediately reciprocate the kiss. Before I know it, he pulls away. I give him a questioning look. "Can't be late for practice, remember?" Stiles teases. "We can be a few minutes late." I state pulling him back down.

"Lockwood! Stilinski! Where have you been?" Coach questions. "I completely blanked on practice. I only remembered like ten minutes ago. There's still 30 minutes before school, sorry Coach." I answer. "You're both running ten laps for being late. Asses on the field!" Coach shouts blowing his whistle.

"Blanked on practice my ass." Scott says as we pass him. "You're just jealous that I'm getting some and you aren't." I reply with a wink. Stiles and I start our laps together, but he very quickly falls behind after lap five.

"Hurry up Stiles!" I yell. Stiles flips me off and keeps running. I finish my laps early and just practice some passes with Scott. "So, now that there is no Dead Pool keeping you from taking Kira out, where are you going?" I question.

"I have an idea, I just want your advice on it." Scott says. "Blow me away." I reply. "Okay, so Kira is bringing over a movie. I don't know which one, she wanted it to be a surprise. Kira thinks she's going to our house, but I am going to bring her to Derek's." Scott states.

"What's the point of taking her to Derek's? I question. "I was getting to that. I'm gonna fill the room up with light bulbs. I was thinking that she could use her abilities to light up with room." Scott explains. "Aw, that's actually really cute. She'll love it." I state.

"Really? I thought you were gonna think it was cheesy or something." Scott says. "I've went to more extreme measures for a date." I state. "Yeah, I remember. Allison came over to help you plan the whole thing." Scott muses.

This is the first time he's brought her up in casual conversation. Scott's moving on, I'm happy for him. "Hey. I did all of the heavy lifting, she just helped me with the decorations." I say. The whistle blows and we head to class.

"Did you hear me? Look. I passed." Malia says holding up the test. "C minus." Lydia replies. "Your notes are great when they're not written in code." Malia states. Coach passes back our Econ tests. "Disappointed Malia. Profoundly disappointed." Coach says.

I look at her paper and it has an F on it. My test has a B on it. During all of this, I managed to keep my grades normal. "I'll send you my notes." Lydia states. "You'll get it next time." I assure. Lydia's eyes seem locked on the board. It has some people's net worth on it.

We all know ours now. "It's over. The computers are off. No more assassins. No more murders. No one's dying." Kira states. She's not entirely right. I heard that Lydia showed up at Derek's door last night. "Not yet." Lydia replies.
