Theo Raeken Imagines

I Hate You (Part Two)

"(Y/N)!" Greenburg yelled and you jumped, turning wide eyed until relief ran through you and you saw your friend and neighbour grinning at you.

"Hey, sorry I was..." You muttered and he shrugged tossing you your kit.

"Worried I was Theo out to get you?" He asked playfully which made you blush. "Don't worry he won't get through me." You froze when he tripped over air and almost fell on his face.

"I'm so thrilled that you're protecting me." You giggled and headed to the girls changing room.

You could feel Theo watching you from the stands. He never left you alone for long and you could swear that even at night it felt like he was there lurking nearby. Even when girls flocked around him he'd be looking at you, often pushing them out of his way to hurry over to you only for you to run off.

"Can I hit him with a ball, I could do it... ok Danny could do it." Greenburg grumbled, glaring at Theo who glared right on back.

"You two will you pay attention, (Y/L/N) try and get past McCall." Coach yelled at you.

"Yes coach." You mumbled

"Good luck." Stiles whispered, sneaking forwards to grab you by the waist and give you a shove as you pushed off which propelled you forwards quick enough for Scott to underestimate where you were going.

"Better luck next time McCall." You hooted and grinned, tapping your helmet against Greenburg's.

Once you were done with practise you headed to your locker, glancing over at Theo's where girls had swarmed around him, flirting and laughing despite the fact that he'd fixed his eyes on you. He shook his head when you quickly turned away, a panicked tightness set in your chest until Greenburg came over to walk home with you.

"See you in a bit." He called heading into his house which was just next door.

"So, you two dating?" Theo asked making you yelp when you turned to see him leaning against the other neighbour's mail box.

"What're you doing here?" You asked and shuffled towards your gate, fumbling in your pocket for your keys so you could hurry to the door.

"I came to ask if you wanted dinner at my house... my Mom will cook?" He looked at you expectantly, nodding in defeat.

"I have to go." You mumbled and ran to the front door.

"Did you hear Theo took her on a date?" a girl hissed to one of her friends as they crowded the locker next to yours.

"Yeah apparently, all he talked about was some other girl called (Y/N), who even is that?" The other girl asked.

"I don't know but I hate her, who wouldn't go for Theo he's hot, she's a moron." The girls laughed and you flinched, glancing over to where Theo was leaning against his locker, head slumped against the cold metal as he listened to your heart beat rush.

"I bet she's like some slutty older girl." They giggled and walked away together, flirting with Theo as they passed him.

"(Y/N)." He called when you ran off, grabbing you to stop you only to quickly let you go. "I'm sorry."

"Oh well that's great Theo, lets hook up right now and I'll forgive you and everything will be fine and perfect for ever." You yelped which made his eyebrows shoot up as he watched you flailed your arms around.

"Ignore them, most will probably end up in some crappy relationship and a dead-end job." He pointed out, leaning in as he crouched slightly so you were at eye level with him, rather than him looming over you.

"I have class." You escaped him and hurried to class so you could get a seat away from Theo who made it a habit to sit near you.

"Hey, have you seen the guy in the dorm across from us?" your college roommate asked. You sighed and shook you head, missing Beacon Hills and your friends too much to think about a cute guy. "Apparently, he's in love with this girl that he hurt so she's afraid of him and he moved away from his home town so he could give her space because he can't get over her!"

"Good for him." You sighed, glancing at the clock when your alarm for your class buzzed. "I'll be back later, don't fall in love with anyone while I'm gone." You teased and she rolled her eyes.

"Find prince Charming." She called back.

You hurried to class, feeling like someone was watching you, shaking it off you tried to put a positive attitude on but your tutor was not making it easy for you. After a while your eyes wondered, skipping over someone who was looking in your direction until the jolt that ran through your body caused you to look at them.

Your eyes locked and your heart pounded in your chest. Had he followed you here, where you ever going to escaped him, what was he even doing here. All the thoughts ran through your head so it hadn't occurred to you that you'd been staring at him until everyone filed out of the room.

"What're you doing here?" he asked quickly which made you frown.

"Me, you're the one whose followed me here, why won't you just leave me alone!" You yelled, years of fear and anger exploding in one sharp punch to Theo's chest.

"I was trying to prove I was better than you thought, I moved away so I wouldn't keep bothering you... I couldn't... I couldn't stay away from you back home." He mumbled the last part and smiled sheepishly when you rubbed the scar on your arm.

"I still hate you Theo." You sighed, looking away from him.

"I still love you." He answered quickly, growling under his breath when you grabbed your books and headed out into the corridor.

"Find someone else to love Theo, we're in college it's not like girls are in short supply." You pointed at a group who were whispering and looking over at him.

"But they aren't you." He snapped back, shoving people out the way so he could keep up with you.

"Well, that's the point." Yu sighed.

"But I don't like them, because they aren't you." Theo stopped suddenly which made you frown, having expected him to follow you to your door which was a few steps away.

"Theo, you bullied me mercilessly for years and then you broke my arm a few days before you left!" You hissed. "What am I supposed to do suddenly forgive you just because you're attractive?"

He smiled before spluttering several responses and unlocking the door opposite yours, quickly stepping inside and slamming the door.

"He seemed so nice when we spoke." You roommate whispered and beckoned you into your room.

"He sorts of is now but he wasn't back then... he's change and I want to feel bad for not you know." You trailed off but she frowned and shook her head.

"If he really has been in love with you all his life or whatever sappy story he's sticking to make him work for your attention and if he's faking it and turns nasty just walk away." She smiled encouragingly but you frowned. "Let's just get some sleep, you took your late class again, I could not do it."

You tossed and turned, at home you'd be buried under blankets, Greenburg would be a quiet shout through your bedroom window away and Stiles would happily drag Scott over to crash on your floor. But tonight, you couldn't sleep.

A gentle knock on your door had you getting up to open it but no one was there, glancing at the floor you found your childhood plushie that you had reluctantly tossed aside as a sign of growing up, an icy cold cup of water and a book that you'd lost back in primary school.

"Try to get some sleep. T." You read the not that the toy was holding and headed to bed with your things.
