Breaking The Rules For Isaac Lahey

Chapter 17

Friday 21st March

I set my alarm for extra early this morning because I told the guys I would come to their lacrosse practice. I get ready fairly quickly, but decided to actually put some effort into my outfit.

I wore my favourite black jeans with a new pale blue shirt that ties in the front. I decided on Navy combat boots rather than cons and I tied my hair up with a bandana that had a little knot at the top, I did a last check in my mirror before heading to school and decided that ‘cute’ was the way to describe my outfit today.

Mom pulled up next to Allison and Lydia in the car park so I went straight to them, waving a goodbye to my Mom.

“Liz, that top is killer.”, Lydia tells me and I thank her, happy with my choice of clothing for once.

We headed over to the pitch and Isaac greeted me with a kiss.

“HEY, no PDA whilst Stiles is around, okay?”, Stiles said, speaking in third person. We chuckled but agreed anyways.

That’s when I saw her… Cassidy.

I nudge Isaac and he sees her too, so far I don’t think she’s seen us so I tell Isaac to go and try to get info without being obvious, as he walks over to her I feel a pang of jealousy before remembering that Isaac’s my boyfriend and I can kiss him all I want and she can’t.

“ASSES ON THE FIELD BOYS, THIS IS OUR LAST PRACTICE BEFORE THE GAME TOMORROW!”, Coach yells at them not too long after Isaac had gone over to Cassidy.

Allison, Lydia and I all took our usual seats on the bleachers and chatted while watching them practice. When practice finishes the boys shower so I know we won’t get a chance to question Isaac until lunch, I sigh and go to my classes.

At lunch Isaac waits for us all to sit down before he starts,

“Okay so basically she told me she was on a vacation with her family, in Idaho-“

“But her Mom’s dead and dad is nowhere to be seen.”, Stiles interrupts. Wow, he really did do his research.

“Yeah, that’s what she told me. That she was visiting her aunt in Idaho because of her Mom’s accident.”, Isaac finished.

“That seems like something pretty normal. But it could be a cover up, have you told Derek yet?”, I say. The others all nod, wanting to know if he had told Derek yet.

“Yeah I texted him this morning.”, Isaac replies. We end the conversation there, knowing there isn’t much else to say.

Saturday 22nd March

So today is not only the day of the lacrosse game but also the night of the biggest party of the year, Lydia Martin’s birthday party. And this year she was 18, so it was an even bigger deal.

I had a new dress that I wanted to wear to Lydia’s party. It was fitted with a low neckline and had a blue floral-y type pattern on it.

I had already given the dress and my white pumps to Lydia to keep at her house so I could just get changed there, so I put on something comfy for the day that I could wear to the game later.

I got to the game at normal type and took a seat with Allison, Lydia was at hers organising the party. I looked over at the field to see coach giving one of his ‘famous pep talks’. The game started and for the first quarter it was pretty boring, no one made any shots.

By the end of third quarter we were so far ahead, there was no way the other team could catch up.

At the end of the game the score was 5-17 to us, Allison dragged me into her car to go to Lydia’s before I had the chance to go congratulate Isaac so I sent him a text.

Me: Hey, Allison’s taking me to Lydia’s to get ready. See you there x

He didn’t reply so I assumed he was busy with the team. Driving to Lydia’s didn’t take long at all, as we pull into her drive I see a mass of pink balloons and decoration with a giant banner saying “Happy 18th Lydia!’ on her balcony. I laugh at how crazy she goes with these parties, but if I thought the outside was over the top, the inside was even worse.

She had balloons covering the ceiling, streamers from every door and the whole place was covered in pink. She had a giant water feature like punch bowl filled with a milky pink liquid that I could only assume was chemically alcoholic.

Allison and I got changed into our dresses before we all did our make-up. I decided on playing up my eyes a bit for tonight so gave myself winged eyeliner and put on a subtle blue eye shadow that complimented my dress rather than making my eyes look crazy.

By the time I had finished my make-up so had Allison and Lydia,

“Okay girls”, Lydia said whilst excitedly clapping her hands, “it’s time for me to put on my dress and the final touches, I’ll need a hand with the zip.” 

Lydia slipped off her ‘nightgown’ that really could only be described as lingerie and stepped into her dress, pulling the sleeves onto her shoulders. Allison gave her a hand with the zip and she turned to us,

“You like?”, she said giving us a twirl.

“Hell yeah.”, I said to her, “Lydia this dress is so hot.” And it was, it was tight and cut off at her mid-thigh. It was a bright pink colour and made of this satin-y type material, it hugged her in all the right places and had a cut out so you could see her cleavage.

We all finished off our outfits and headed downstairs, not long after the doorbell rang and around 15 people flooded in, a few minutes later another 15 and then a few minutes later even more again so I decided on just leaving the door open.
