Carousel ↠ Stydia Au

0.4 ↠ will i catch up to love

Me and Allison woke up bright and early to go to work. The boys aren't working until 6 pm, but me and Allison have to work the morning shift (9 am). It's our responsibility to open Funland. Our dickhead boss gets very angry when we're late to work, especially if it's the morning shift.

"What's going on with you and Jordan? Are you keeping your word to not hook up with him this summer?" Allison asks me as she drives us to work.

"We made out last night, but I seriously regret it," I reply back.

"Lydia..." she says, sighing and shaking her head at me. She has never approved of me and Jordan.

"I know babe. Let's not talk about it," I say, and turn the music up so she can't keep questioning me about Jordan.

After working the carousel for a few hours, I notice a boy. He is alone, waiting in line to ride the carousel. I recognize him, but I don't know where from.

Once he gets on the ride, I see his face. It's Stiles Stilinski. He was in my chemistry class last year. He was really smart, I'm sure he's taking AP Chem next year. I wish I was smart like him.

He turns his head, almost as to look at me. That's when I realize his lip is cut and swollen. It could be from anything though. Is he a bad boy that beats up weaker people?

Nah, that doesn't sound like him. He seems innocent, good, nice.

"Lydia!" I hear someone say, and snap their fingers at me. I look over and it's Allison. "Dude, I've been trying to get your attention for like 10 minutes."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was lost in my thoughts," I reply back. I hope she doesn't realize I was looking at Stiles, that'd be awkward. "Anyway, what did you want?"

"I just wanted to say that Jordan Parrish is here now. He waved at you, but you weren't looking," she says to me. Oh lord, Jordan. I need to end things with him.

"Oh, good thing I didn't see him. I need to end it," I say to Allison. My eyes drift back to Stiles, who's on the carousel alone. He is intriguing me today. Why didn't he say hi to me? We had a class together. Everyone says hi to me. Does he not like me? Have I done something to him?

"Lydia!" I hear Allison say again. Oh no, I got lost in my Stiles thoughts... again. "Okay, seriously what is up? Are you high? Are you hiding something from me?"

"No no no. I'm fine, Allison. I really am," I say, stuttering a bunch and stumbling over my words. I don't even know what I would tell Allison if I told her the truth.

Would I say, "hey sorry I didn't hear you, I'm obsessing over Stiles Stilinski. He didn't say hi to me when we had chemistry together and I don't know why."

No, I can't say, I sound crazy. She also wouldn't understand, she really isn't too much like me. She just sticks with us, she doesn't want to meet anyone new. New people don't intrigue her like they do to me.

"Get your head together, babe. If your thinking about Jordan, don't. He isn't worth it, and you're going to end things with him. Right?" Allison questions, giving me a weird look. I nod my head, because I know she's right. Even though she wasn't right about me thinking about Jordan, not even close.

I look back to the ride, and Stiles is gone.
