Her crying softened as she pulled away.  She looked at me in a small shock, so I tried to ignore eye contact.

Not knowing what to do, I clear my throat, breaking the silence.

"So, uh, I think I should go back home. There's school tomorrow and..." I trail off as she nods.

I stand up, gathering my things so I could leave.  As she stands up, she surprisingly pulls me into a hug.  I jump a bit, at the shock.

"Thank you, Stiles..." She says in a half-whisper.

I nod as I gently pull away and I walk towards the door.  She tucks her hair behind her ear with a smile and I smile back.  As I walk out the door and a outside the house, I go inside my car.

Waiting a couple of minutes to go by, I look at her house.  Suddenly, chills of excitement went up my spine and I danced excitedly inside my car.

I stopped before she looked through the window, watching me embarrass myself.

As I drive back home, I begin to wonder.  Ask questions, thinking, wondering.  Lots of things begin flowing through my mind.

So much has happened in the last couple of weeks.  I've been getting closer and closer to Lydia and I'm really happy.

Hopefully so is she.

At school, me and Scott were talking.  Then I started to ask myself, should I tell him?

"Scott, I need to tell you something..." I began.

"What is it..." He asked in a bit of suspense.

"Last night, w-was honestly one of them best nights of my life..." I continued.

He nodded as I explained everything.  And at the end, he reacted the way I wasn't hoping he would.

"You and she did what?!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah, and I don't know what's gonna happen next..." I said as I rubbed my arm awkwardly.

He sighs in a bit of anger.

Allison walks towards us with Lydia.  I throw myself towards a locker, trying to avoid eye contact.  But that was a mistake.  Now I'm in pain and I don't want to let them know that.

I turned away as I mouthed my groaning and tried holding the pain.  I turn back around fading them and I smile.

"What's up guys? Nice weather out there, am I right?" I say as I lean on a locker.

I was so awkward, they were super confused.

"Huh?" Allison said.

Lydia just looked to her side away from us, trying to avoid eye contact.

She flips her hair away from her shoulder and walks away.  Lydia silently signals me to go over where she was and I followed her signal.

I 'casually' followed her through the hallway and into the library.  We walked on the second floor, hidden between the aisles of books.

"I need you to not tell anyone about last night." She said.

"Wait, why?" I question.

"Because! I don't know why I wanted to hug you but I totally regret it..." She said.

That really offended me.

"Why do you regret it? If you would never do something more that, then why did you do it last night?" I ask.

"Because I was emotional and when I'm emotional I don't think about what I'm doing.  I just do what would make me feel better..."

"So hugging you makes you feel better?" I ask with a smal smile begging to grow on my face.

She scoffs and rolls her eyes.

"As if, just keep dreaming Stiles,  I would never date you..."

"You just have to move on." And she leaves me in the library, stranded.

Wow, thanks Lydia.

Thanks a lot.
