When I go into English,  I sit next in the back & wait for class to start. My phones screen lights up & it's a text from Stiles:

"Miss you already♡"

He's so flipping adorable. But I don't get it, are we dating?  Are we not dating? I'm so confused... I having even told him about my dad yet.

"Please, I miss you more♡" I reply. Class starts so I take out my notebook & start writing whatever the teacher says.

By the end of class, Allison comes to my desk & asks if she wants to walk to our next class together. I'M about reply when Lydia approaches us.

"You're the girl that's dating Stiles,  right?" She asks.

"You're the one with the douche lord of a boyfriend they call Jackson, right?" I reply. Yeah, I hear things.

"Look, stay away from Stiles. He'll just break your heart. He's no good for you, for anyone really. Just the other day, he came over my house & let's just say clothes came off. Leave him alone, got it?" She says & turns around. She flips her strawberry blond hair & leaves.

I can't believe what I just heard.. I can't help but break down crying.

"Em, I'm so sorry." Allison says. I gather my stuff & head to our next class. 

When I get there, Stiles isn't there. yet.

Good.

I sit in my usual seat & put my he's down. Allison sits next to me & rubs my back.

"Are you okay?" I hear Stiles' voice finally ask.

"She really doesn't wanna talk to you right now, Stiles." Allison says. It gets quiet,  then I hear his footsteps leave.

"Miss Argent, is everything okay?" Mr. Harris asks.

"Can I take her to the bathroom?" She asks. She helps me up.

"Take as much time as you need." He says. He writes out two passes & we head to the bathroom.

"Don't believe that she says, okay? I think she's just jealous because Stiles is giving you attention & not her."

"I came to Beacon Hills to start over, to get away from my dad. I don't need this!" I yell, making her flinch.

"What did your dad do...." She asks.

Stupid word vomit.

"Nothing." I say pushing her away whilst wiping my face.

I walk quickly to the library & sit at the farthest table so I can be alone. I take out my lyrics notebook & start writing a new song:

"I've been acting like I'm strong,

But the truth is,

I've been losing ground.

To a hospital too crowded,

A summer winding down.

I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now

I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now"

Getting really frustrated, I rip the paper out, crumble it up & sigh.

"Why the groaning & sighing?" I hear a male voice says.

Great, it's Jackson.

"Shouldn't you be in class?" I ask packing up.

"Shouldn't you?" He asks smirking.

Again, I groan. 

The bell finally rings & I hurry off to my locker. When I get there I see the Sheriff & the principle coming out of his office, then he starts talking to someone.

"Don't you have a test to be getting to?" He asks.

"Dad, whats going on?" I hear Stiles' voice asks. "Did you find Derek?"

Derek? Who's Derek?  And why didn't he tell me his dad was the freaking Sheriff?!!

His dad sighs,  "I'm working on it. You need to get to class, to go take that test."

"Dad, listen to me.  This is important-really important. You need to be careful tonight, really careful. Especially tonight." He says. He looks scared & really nervously.

I'm so confused! What's happening tonight???

"I always am." The Sheriff says slowly.

I hear Stiles sigh loudly. "Dad...you've just..never dealt both something like this before."

"Which is why I brought in people who have, the state detective. Now go take that test." The Sheriff says turning Stiles around. He groans, then sees me. I slam my locker shut & I hear his voice yell, "Em! Wait!"

No.

No.

No.

I don't wanna deal with him now.

"Why were you crying earlier?" He asks catching up to me.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" I ask turning to face him. "Lydia told me everything!!! And to think I actually started to fall for you. Gosh, I'm so stupid! You-" He cuts me off by kissing me.

Well that sure shut me up.

"Whatever she said is a lie. I like you, & only you. I'm over her, okay? I went over there because her & Jackson were at the video store when it was attacked & I wanted to see if she was okay..& quite frankly, she wasn't.  You're who I like, ever since you walked into Mr. Harris' class, I knew I had to get to know you okay?"

I have no words because I'm still on the fact that he kissed me, so I just nod.

"Now, will you do me the honor or being my girlfriend?" He asks taking my hand.

"Of course." I says blushing. He smiles.

"Stiles!  Didn't I say get your butt to class! " The Sheriff yells.

"Thanks, DAD!" He yells back, making me giggle. He takes my hand & we go to our next class.
