chapter one

today's my first day at school. i'm a sophomore, and it's my first time ever leaving my home state. i was born in ohio, and stayed there until i turned fifteen. exactly a week after i turned fifteen, my father told me that we were moving to california. actually, he told me we were moving to beacon hills. i was so mad, i wouldn't leave my room for the rest of the summer. so now i'm here, in this small, smelly, hot, californian city, called beacon hills.
my first period is history, and the stupid history teacher made me introduce myself. as the words rolled off my tongue, i scanned the room. i found the cliques. the popular kids, the band geeks, and the nobodies were all there. as i was skimming over all of the blank faces, my eyes stopped at one. he had pale skin, dark hair, and was skinny. he was writing and as i stopped talking he looked up at me. his light brown eyes locked into mine as i quickly jutted my face downwards.
"nice to meet you (y/n), " the history teacher said as he motioned for me to sit back at my seat. "alright, lets turn to page one hundred and thirteen in our history books. " i nonchalantly turned to the page, and i looked ahead. i noticed that the brown-haired boy and another good looking boy sat in front of me.
"work with the groups that i have assigned you. they're every four seats, by the way. " mr. harris, the history teacher said. i looked to my left, and found a pretty girl, with dark brown hair. she was wearing a maroon and white sweatshirt, which i assumed were the school's colors. it had lacrosse on it, which i assumed was the sport her boyfriend played. she looked over at me, and then at the two boys in front of us, who had now turned around. i smiled and looked down at my textbook again.
"i'm lindsey, the boy directly in front of you is stiles, and the boy in front of me is scott. these boys are apparently our group members for the rest of the school year. " she said, jokingly rolling her eyes. the boy named scott laughed and the boy names stiles smiled. we all exchanged phone numbers, and i asked for their last names to finish their contact.
"mccall. i'm scott mccall"
"oh mine is meighen. m-e-i-g-h-e-n, don't forget the 'h'. "
"well, my last name is stilinski. "
"your name is stiles stilinski?" i asked.
"well, my first name is weird and i don't like it, so i just go by 'stiles'. "
"hmm. okay. " i said, as i pulled up the app mr. harris assigned us. sooner than later, the bell rang. i picked up all of my stuff and quickly walked to my locker. i shoved my phone in my pocket and as i grabbed everything for my next period, i franticly patted my pockets for my earbuds. i never walked around without them. i groaned as i shut my locker and began to walk to second period. i stopped as stiles cut in front of me. he smiled and stood in my way.
"do you need something?" i asked stiles as he just stood, smiling dumbly.
"oh, nothing, except, you forgot these," he said, as he dangled my earbuds in front of my face.
"oh my goodness! thanks stiles!" i said, as he smiled widely.
"what's your second period?" stiles asked as he looked at the books in my hand.
"oh, i'm going to health. " i said, as i began walking down the hallway to my second period.
"hey, i'm going to health too! you should walk with me. " stiles said as he picked up his speed to walk with me.
"okay, " i said as he walked by my side. stiles opened the classroom door for me. i smiled and stepped in, as soon as the bell rang. i quickly sat at an open desk and stiles sat at another open desk behind me. there was a very pretty girl with strawberry blonde hair sitting to my right, since i had taken a desk farthest to the left of the room. she seemed like she was a member of the popular clique, so i didn't bother her. the teacher walked into the classroom with a book. she slapped the book onto her desk and glared at the class.
"this is your semester-long health class. i'm your teacher, miss campbell. i know most of you just took this class to get an 'easy a', but this class will not be as easy as you expected. there will be a quiz every friday, and pop quizzes. don't expect to fly through this course. " miss campbell said, glaring at each one of the rows of students. miss campbell handed out a piece of paper to each person, containing a list of diseases, and a box with symptoms. i looked to my right at the popular girl again.
"i'm lydia, " she said, and she smiled.
"hi, i'm (y/n), " i said, as i stuck my hand out for a handshake.
"oh i'm sorry, i'm a germaphobe. but nice to meet you (y/n), " lydia said as she gave me a small smile. i turned behind to stiles as he winked at me, and then mouthed that he would explain his relation to lydia. i looked back at lydia and she had quickly glanced at stiles, then back to the brown haired girl in front of her. i looked back at stiles, and he handed me his notes so i could copy down the information that miss campbell said while i was talking to lydia. miss campbell saw me scribbling down notes and walked over to my desk. she picked up stile's paper and read it.
"hmm, so (y/n), you now are stiles too? " stiles tried to reach for his paper, but he couldn't reach. he soon closed his eyes and held his hand to his mouth. i turned around to him and gave him a look of regret.
"i'm going to have to confiscate this and keep both you and mister stilinski for two hours of detention. " i hear some giggles from throughout the room so i turn back to stiles. the bell rings, and i stand up with my books in my hand.
"i'm so sorry stiles, " i say, as stiles picked his books up.
"it's okay. at least i'm not in detention alone with some really really bad kid. you're alright (y/n). " he smiled as he walked me to my locker. stiles walks over to his friend scott and whispers something to him. lydia comes up to my locker with the pretty girl that sat next to her in health.
"this is allison, and we thought you should hang out with us tonight, " lydia said as i look to stiles and scott, both eyeing us.
"sorry lydia, i got in trouble in health and i have detention. maybe another time?"
"sure, just text me. and here's allison's number too. " lydia handed me two slips of paper, both with phone numbers.
"see you later guys. "
