Me: Hey, i'm doin great. Making a grilled cheese wbu?

Isaac: oh I just got home from school. Have a load of history to do

Me: righto, is there any reason you texted?

Wednesday 19th February

When I get off the bus the first person I see is Stiles,

“Hey- hey Liz over here!”, he yells waving his arms around in the air. I make my way over and he stops waving his arms like an idiot once he realises that I’m walking over to him.

“Hey Stiles.”, I say wondering why he’s waiting on me.

“Oh, you’re probably wondering why I’m here aren’t you?”

“Yep.”, I tell him popping the ‘p’ and giggling.

“Well I dunno, I couldn’t find Isaac so I thought I’d chill with you…”, he trails  off, “if- if that’s okay?”

“Of course it is.”, I tell him laughing as I poke him in the stomach . Next thing I know my friends are walking over to me.

“Hey Liz!”, Jake yells out to me as they start making their way over to us.

“I- is he your boyfriend?”, Stiles whispers to me.

“What? Oh- oh god no. Not at all, just a friend”, I say to him. Once they get here Chloe’s the first to speak,

“So who’s your friend?”, she says whilst smiling and twirling her hair at Stiles. I roll my eyes and say,

“Oh, right, yeah this is Stiles”, I tell them as I motion to Stiles. Chloe raises an eyebrow before Stiles turns to me and says,

“Well I should probably go, I gotta find the others.”

“Oh okay, see you at lunch?”

“Yeah sure”, he calls out smiling as he walks off. My friends all turn to me with their eyebrows cocked.  I laugh at how similar they all are and we make our way to the lockers. I have English first with both Chloe and Jo.

I knew what was coming, endless harassment about Stiles and Isaac, but I cut them off before they could even start,

“Guys, please don’t ask me questions about them. They’re all just friends okay?”, both Chloe and Jo’s eyes dropped and I could see the disappointment on their faces, they loved gossip but really that was the truth, they were just some new friends.

English dragged on and on so when the bell rung my body flooded with relief, English was one of my least favourite classes.

By the time it got to lunch I was starving, and also slightly excited that I was going to be sitting with new people. When I got there Scott, Allison, Stiles and Isaac were already there so I sat next to Isaac at the end of the table with Allison opposite me.
