Chapter 4

“Why haven’t you been answering my texts?”

I slammed my locker closed, not bothering to look over at my (ex?)best-friend I heaved my back pack over my shoulder, turning to walk to my History class when fingers wrapped around my wrist yanking me back before I could even take two steps away from him. “What do you want Scott?” I groaned letting out an exasperated sigh I really wasn’t in the mood for this, “why are you avoiding me?”...Is he serious? “that question doesn’t even deserve an answer” he stared at me confusion sketched across his features. My god this kid’s such a dumbass! Finally realization sparked in his eyes only to be replaced by annoyance “your still mad about I said the other day? C’mon Stiles that was like two days ago”.

I narrowed my eyes, my free hand clenching into fists blunt finger nails dug into my palm breaking the skin, “Scott you basically said you didn’t want me around anymore! Do you have any idea what it feels like when someone you trust someone who you swore to stick by them no matter what all of a sudden says that he’s sick and tired of having you around!”. His grip on my fingers laxed he looked at me in sadness but that made me even angrier I didn’t need his pity, I didn’t want it “so yes Scott” I growled as i took a step toward “I am still angry” he opened his mouth to say something but closed it tearing his eyes from me “I’m sorry...” his tone dull he sounded like he was on the verge of tears “I know” he let go of my wrist and slumped against the lockers as much as it pained me to say it pained me to see him like this. Maybe I’m being too harsh to him…I sighed my head hurting from thinking too much “you have some serious groveling to do” his head whipped up at me eyes glistening with hope “you mean?...” he trailed off I nodded. “I’m still but you’re my best friend Scott my only I don’t want to lose you so I forgive you” his lips pulled into a full on grin.

He wrapped his arms around my waist, lifting me a few feet from the air pulling me into a bear hug, “Scott…can’t…breath” he let go of me as if I was on fire. His cheeks colored in embarrassment “sorry” I smiled before lightly punching his arm, “but if you ever say something like that again I’ll kick your ass” “and I’ll let you” “good now walk me to class” Scott followed me eagerly offering small non-stop chatter about the most random things It felt good like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. And after being chased by psycho-bear-on-steroids yesterday I felt more than happy to have a daily dose of normal even for a little while, by the time we reached my classroom my cheeks hurt from laughing so much I rubbed my watery eyes when I noticed a strange twinkle in Scott’s eyes as he stared at me  “what?” I asked quirking my brow he blinked shaking his head lightly “huh?” “you were staring at me do I have something on my face?” on instinct I quickly rubbed my hands over my face.

Scott laughed, he gently pried my hands from my face “it’s nothing don’t worry about it” blinking I cocked my head, ready to pry him with questions but then I remembered what happened the last time and I really didn’t want to have a repeat. So I just nodded letting it go “okay but I want you know that you can talk to me about anything okay?” he nodded giving me a passive look, “Stiles!” oh dear lord please don’t tell me that’s who I think it is…My heart fluttered in my chest while my stomach did back flips as Jackson –freaking- Whittemore hurried over to us. He smiled at me ember green eyes alight with mischief and something else I couldn’t quite identify his smile faltered a-bit once he noticed I wasn’t exactly alone, “hey there” did he just talk to me!?! In a public place!?! Pinch me I must be dreaming “umm…Hi” I felt my cheeks heat up as he smirked “I was looking for you” “y-you were?” why the hell am I stuttering!?!. He nodded vigorously “I missed you we should hang out again”.

Did I hear that right?, “okay” my brain not thinking of anything else to say his face lit up like a Christmas tree, “how about tonight? We could go out see a movie or something” and there goes that fuzzy feeling again. “Sure sounds like fun” Jackson stared at me a strange smile on his face then he glanced next to me, wait why is he looking next to me?...Shit! I turned to my left to see a very unhappy Scott he practically reeked of anger they stared at each other for a moment animosity flowing between them. I almost thought that they would break out into a fist fight until Jackson’s ember green eyes sparkled a-bit he ripped his eyes away from him turning his attention toward me, He smiled leaning in his lips ghosted over the corner of my mouth “see you tonight” my body unconsciously shivered he pulled away from me and I almost whined at the loss of contact with that he walked away.

What the hell just happened!?!. “What the hell was that all about?” If I knew Scott do you honestly think I tell you?, the sound of the first period bell saved me from coming up with a bull shit excuse I hurried out a goodbye before scurrying into the class taking a seat in the middle row like I usually do. Did all of that just happen? Did Jackson really ask me out on a date? Wait should I even call it a date!?! I mean c’mon lets be serious for a second Jackson’s the king of the school, he’s captain of the lacrosse team, all the girls want him and all the guys want to be him hell this boy has straight guys wanting to do want night stands with him!. Meanwhile I’m just…me he probably wants to hang out with me because of the ice-cream thing…yeah that’s it.

Groaning I slammed my head against my desk, ignoring the creeping pain that slowly spread through my head, god damn it what happened to being normal!?! I didn’t notice when the tall dark figure walked through the door. I didn’t notice the heated gaze that was headed in my direction but I should have “alright kids settle your teacher is out for the moment so I will substitute until he returns” what the! I whipped my head up, my eyes landing on a familiar smirking face, is that the Derek guy from the woods!?! What the hell is going on!?!.
