More Bad Than Good

Chapter 5

"Stiles." Ashlyn complained as he dragged her around the school the next day.

"We need to find Scott." Stiles burst into the lunchroom and they walked past an empty table.

"Uh Stiles?" Ashlyn looked at the table funny and then spotted Scott. She pointed and Stiles made a beeline for him.

"Scott." Stiles spoke up and Scott shot his head up towards him. "Do you see that?" Stiles points to the empty table.

"What, it's an empty table." Scott said, looking tired.

"Yeah, but whose empty table?" Stiles asked.

"Boyd." Ashlyn breathed out and her eyes widened at Stiles and Scott.

Scott then jumped up and Ashlyn was being dragged around again.

"I'm going to go to the ice-rink, see if he's there. And if he's not at home, you call me, got it?" Scott ordered then looked back at Ashlyn and Stiles. "What?"

"Maybe we should let him." Ashlyn spoke up. Scott just looked at her wide-eyed.

"Boyd, you know, man? You said Derek's giving them a choice right?" Stiles continued.

"We can't." Scott stressed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"You gotta admit, Erica looks pretty good." Stiles pointed out. Earning a glare and a smack on the arm from Ashlyn. "Sorry."  

"Yeah. How do you think she's gonna look with a wolfsbane bullet in her head?" Scott snapped.

"Maybe this one isn't totally your responsibility." Ashlyn said.

"They all are. And you know this thing's gonna get out of control. That makes me responsible."

"Alright. We're with you." Ashlyn huffed.

"I gotta say this new - found heroism is making me very attracted to you." Stiles said with a serious tone.

"Shut up." Scott laughed.

"No. Seriously. Do you wanna just try making out for a sec?" Stiles asked and Ashlyn pushed him to start walking and laughed. "Just to see how it feels?"

"Boyd? Hey Boyd!" Stiles and Ashlyn were yelling into Boyd's house and pounding on the door.

"Doesn't look like he's here." Ashlyn huffed.

"Yeah." Stiles turned around and jumped about two feet in the air. "Oh, wow."

Ashlyn turned around and saw Erica standing there.

"What are you guys doing here, Stiles? Ashlyn?" She spat.

"Uh, nothing. We were just looking for -"

"Boyd?" Erica asked and raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah. Yes. Boyd." Ashlyn said.

"You wanna know what's funny, Stiles?" Erica turned to look at him.

"What?"

"You're only looking at my eyes."

"That's funny?" Ashlyn asked.

"Well, yeah." Erica said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Because it's that kind of look where you're trying not to look anywhere other than my eyes, but you want to, don't you? You want a nice, long, hard - look." Erica stepped closer to him.

"Not really. No." Stiles shook his head. "I have a girlfriend."

"Oh, so it's just my eyes?" Erica batted her eyelashes.
