i sit down and take off my high tops. Isaac sits next to me and takes off his shoes.
"You look really good tonight. I'm not joking." He whispers softly and I blush. I put on my bowling shoes and was about to tell him thanks, but Paige laughs,
"So stylish." She tucks a piece of her hair behind her ear as Stiles tugs on his shoes as well.
"Yeah, totally." i answer and Isaac smiles at the ground as he tied his shoes.
"okay, so Paige goes first, then me, then Grace, then Isaac." We all nod to the order and Paige grabs a bowling ball. She throws it and she knocks down eight pins. Stiles hoots and hollers and Isaac and i clap. Stiles goes and almost falls on his face as he lets go of the bowling ball. Five pins. We clap and he tries to play it off cool.
It's my turn and Isaac gives my hand a squeeze before I get up. I smile at him and get up. i get a ball and throw it. Nine Pins.
Paige and the guys holler and clap. I smile sheepishly as I sit back down. Isaac looks worried as he gets up for his turn.
"Isaac isn't the best at bowling." Stiles admits once Isaac picks up a ball. Oh, no. I don't him to feel awful on our first date. i bite my thumb nail and scream in my head,
C'mon Isaac! You can do it! You can do it. Just think about something at focus on that.

Isaac's POV
I pick up the ball and just as I do, i hear her voice in my head.
C'mon Isaac! You Can do it! You can do it. Just think about something and focus on that-
I'm caught off guard. How did she do that? Was it just my werewolf abilities? i shook it off and took her advice. I thought of something.
I thought of her.
I closed my eyes and when I reopened them, I knew they were the glowing yellow werewolves were known for. I threw the ball.
Seven pins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I jumped up and clapped for him.
"Good job!" I said and stood on my tip-toes to hug him. He was caught off guard, but after a second, I felt his strong arms wrap around me and squeeze me. He leaned down a little, and I leaned up. My heart palpitating, getting faster every second. Our lips were centimeters apart. I could feel his breath, I could smell the honey and coconut. i could feel his presence. Which, oddly, felt familiar. Very familiar. I closed my eyes, but quickly opened them when Stiles exclaimed,
"I'm starving! Let's order food!" I looked into Isaac's eyes and he looked put down, but after a moment he smiled and took my hand.
'C'mon. Let's go order some food." If he was okay with it, I was okay with it. We sat next to Paige, still holding hands, as Stiles ordered food from the food court. Isaac and I just awkwardly sat there, and for the rest of the night, we didn't speak about what we had almost done. What we were hoping to do.
I didn't worry about it, though. i knew we would kiss soon.
i knew we were going to last longer than a first date.

"WEll, that was fun." Isaac whispered as he dropped me off at my house. WE had already dropped Paige off and Stiles was in the Jeep.
"Yeah." i said and looked at his moonlit blue eyes.
"Definitely have to do it again sometime. But no group dates. I'm not a big fan of those." He winked and I felt his hands cupped under my elbows. I nodded. He leaned down, and I thought he was going to kiss me.
But his lips only touched my cheek.
It still sent electricity through me. His tender lips touching my skin made me buzz. i looked up at him. His eyes glimmered. i know this sounds crazy, but they actually looked like they were glowing.
Glowing yellow.
Maybe i was just hallucinating or it was the moonlight. He whispered one last thing,
"Goodnight."
And he was off. I sighed and turned my back to them, ready to hop back up into my room. But before I did, i thought,
Goodnight.
