Pretend [1] (Stiles Stilinksi)

Tori

We reached the woods and climbed out following Scott.

"I don't- I don't know what it was. It was like I had all the time in the world to catch the ball." And that's not the only weird thing. I can hear stuff I shouldn't be able to hear. Smell things."

"Smell things?" Stiles asked.

"Like what?" I said trying to figure out a way pass this huge tree.

"Like the mint mojito gum in your pocket" Scott said looking at Stiles.

"I don't have any-" stiles said then pulled out a chewed piece of mint mojito gum. They started to walk away not realizing I was stuck. I had on a white pencil skirt and wedges. I should've  thought this through more.

"Hey guys I need some help. I can't get passed this tree." I told them crossing my arms. They jogged back over and started talking to each other in hushed voices. "Hello?"

"Stiles go help her" Scott said pushing his friend towards me.

"What me? Uh fine?" Stiles said and ducked under the tree. He walked over to me and grabbed my hand. "I help you under just duck." He said. I crouched down and Stiles put his hands on my waist and help keep me steady as I slowly crept under the tree. Whenever I stumbled he would tighten his grip and I wouldn't fall.

"Thanks" I mumbled after we got out. I brushed my hands together to wipe them off.

"Yeah no problem" he said. He still,had his hands on my waist so I looked down at them. He removed them. Scott gave Stiles a smirk and I rolled my eyes.

"Back to the original problem. It all started with a bite?" Stiles asked.

"Yeah. What if it's like an infection, like my body flooding with adrenaline before I go into shock?" Scott said freaking out.

"You know what? I've think I e heard of this. It's a special kind of infection." Stiles said. I looked over at him shocked.

"You do?" I asked. He nodded.

Yeah, yeah I think it's called lycanthropy." He said with all seriousness. I rolled my eyes knowing what that was. Apparently Scott didn't.

"What's that? Is it bad?" He asked worried.

"Oh, yeah. It's awful. But the good thing is it only happens once a month." Stiles said. Scott looked confused then looked over at me.

"No Scott it's not a period" I said rolling my eyes. Stiles chuckled while Scott looked freaked out still.

"Only once a month?" He asked.

"Yep. On the night of the full moon." Stiles said. Scott looked genuinely freaked out until Stiles howled. "You said a wolf bit you" Stiles said in his own defense as Scott pushed him.

"It's not funny there could be something seriously wrong with me." Scott said.

"I know! You're a werewolf! Ok obviously Im kidding. But if you see me in shop class trying to melt all the silver I can find its because Friday's a full moon." Stiles joked. I laughed causing him to turn around and smile at me, his cheeks were tinted red.

We continued walking until Scott stopped and looked around frantically. "No-I could've sworn this was it. I saw the body. The deer came running. I dropped my inhaler!" I looked down and saw absolutely nothing.

"Maybe whoever killed the girl moved the body" I suggested shrugging. This was kind of creeping me out not gonna lie.

"Well if he did I hope he left my inhaler. Those things cost like 80 bucks." Scott said moving leaves around to look for it.

"What are you doing here? This is private property." A voice said scaring me and making me jump. I turned and saw a man who looked a couple years older then us glaring at us all. He had dark hair and light eyes. He was hot not gonna lie. 

"We're sorry. We didn't know" I said stepping up. He narrowed his eyes at me and looked me up and down. I smirked and  turned back around to face the boys. Stiles was glaring at him. I walked over and stood beside him and crossed my arms.

"What are you doing here?" The man asked also crossing his arms.

"We were just looking for something. But- uh forget it." Scott stuttered out. The man then threw an inhaler fast at Scott who caught it effortlessly. I saw something flash in the mans eyes. "All right, thanks. I, um, gotta get to work or I'll be late." Scott said gripping me and Stiles' arms and dragging us away.

Once we were far enough away Stiles ripped his arm out of Scott's grasp and started freaking out. "Dude, that was Derek Hale. You remember right? He's only a few years older then us." Stiles said.

"Remember what?" Scott asked. I listened carefully to figure out what exactly happened considering I couldn't remember either.

"His family. They all burned to death in a fire about ten years ago." Stiles told us looking at us both to see if we remembered. I started to remember.

"I wonder what's he's doing back" I asked.

"We can figure that out later. I really need to go. Come on" Scott said. We then piled into Stiles car and dropped Scott off at work.

"Do you need my address?" I asked him as we pulled out of the parking lot.

"No.i mean yes! Yeah. W-what's your address?" He asked pulling out his phone for a GPS. I giggled and told him.

We pulled up to my house and got my things and stepped out of the car. Stiles had opened my door for me so I thanked him and waved good bye. He waved back then hopped in his car and drove away. I shook my head and walked inside to Lydia and Jackson making out on the kitchen counter. I coughed and threw my bag down.

"Hey Tori, where were you?" Lydia asked. Jackson smirked at me expectantly. So he didn't say anything to her.

"I was hanging out with Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski." I told her nonchalantly and grabbed an apple from the island in the kitchen.

"Oh- that's um, nice I guess. But you could've hung out with me and Jackson you know. He wouldn't have minded." She told me smiling wearily.

"I know. He offered me a ride home but I wanted to hang out with them. Oh and I invited them to the party on Friday. Hope you don't mind." I told her and she shook her head quickly.

"Of course not. The more people, the better the party." She said smiling.

"Good" I told her smiling back. Jackson was glaring at me so I smirked at him and bit into my apple.

"Well me and Jackson are going upstairs so if you need me just call me." She said. I made a disgusted face and walked out of the kitchen. I heard her laugh at me as she descended up the stairs.

The next day me, Allison, and Lydia all sat at the top of the bleachers watching lacrosse practice. I looked down and Stiles freaking out trying to talk to Scott who was trying to make his way over to the huddle. He made the last section of tryouts which were the final cuts. Coach gave the boys some kind of pep talk to which they all nodded listening intently.

"Let's go, let's go!" Jackson yelled as the boys all broke out of the huddle. I watched Scott the whole try out and he barely touched the ball. Towards the end he started to get really good. He ran down the field with the ball getting passed the defense when he came to two defenders right in front of the goal. He jumped up and flipped over them then scored. I jumped up and cheered with Lydia and Allison.

"McCall! Get over here! What in God's name was that's? This is a lacrosse field. Are you trying out for the gymnastics team!" Coach yelled last him. I was shocked. That was the best play I've seen since I've been here and Coach is yelling at him.

"No coach" Scott said looking down.

"What the hell was that?"

"I don't know I was just trying to make the shot" Scott said.

"Yeah well you made this shot. And guess what? Your starting buddy. You made first line come on!" Coach cheered smiling and patting him on the back. Scott's face brightened up and he smiled happily. I looked down at Stiles expecting him to be ecstatic but he actually looked upset. I
He wasn't jealous but more, scared for some reason.
