Jealous Is My Middle Name

{03} - explanation

I woke up. It was no longer just pitch black. I look around, my eyes struggling to adjust to the lights. It was so bright. When my eyes do adjust I look up and I see Rylee.

"Oh thank God! You're okay!" He yells out.

"W-wait... What happened?" I stutter. I attempt to sit up but as soon as I do I get this raging headache. I immediately lay back down.

"Uh maybe that isn't the best idea yet Stiles. Just lay down for a minute or two." Someone new says. I look over and see Scott sitting in another chair in the room. No Allison. That's new. Usually they're always together.

"What happened?" I ask again.

"You were punched in the face." Rylee responds.

"Wait what?! By who??" I ask, confused on how I didn't realise what happened.

"Allison..." Scott speaks up. He looks down at the ground refusing to make eye contact.

"Allison?? Really? Why would she do that?" I ask a little too loudly.

"I'm so sorry Stiles... it's my fault!" Scott yells out, standing up from his seat.

"Wait a minute... What do you mean?" I ask again. Scott looks up at me finally.

"I... I may have said something to Allison that may have made her angry at you. Anyways as soon as she did it I broke up with her." Scott says desperately trying not to make me upset with him.

"What did you say?" I ask. Scott takes a seat again.

"Uh that's a story for another time..." Scott responds returning his gaze to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Rylee asks looking over at me. He's nice. I like that he don't even have to know eachother very well for him to be nice to me. That's new in a place like this.

"Yeah, thanks Rylee I'm fine. Also where the hell are we?" I say.

"First aid..." Rylee responds.

"Ah right, that makes sense." I say. "Can we leave? I don't wanna be late for class."

"You've already missed a whole lesson Stiles. And so have we..." Rylee says. I stare at him, stunned for a few seconds.

"Wait what?! How long was I out?" I yell out.

"Uh... enough for us all to miss a whole class." Rylee responds.

"Are you kidding?! I can't afford to miss a single class this semester! I've already missed way too many!" I yell out.

"Don't worry Stiles! We told your teacher what happened." Rylee responds setting a hand on my shoulder. I give Rylee a sincere smile.

"We should probably head to class..." Scott interrupts our moment. Wait a minute... moment? Ew what have I become?! Soon enough the bell rings throwing me out of my thoughts.

"Good idea! Let's go." I say sitting up on the bed, soon followed by standing. "What class go we have?"

"We got math." Scott says. I roll my eyes.

"You know what... another one class missed wouldn't be so bad..." I say sitting back down on the bed. Rylee chuckles at what I say and Scott just glares at me sternly.

"Stiles if you're feeling better, you have to go to class." Scott says, breaking my mood.

"No. I'm still unconscious. This is your imagination Scott. You're imagining this." I say waving my hands around voodoo style. Scott doesn't buy it at all. He gives me one of them "really? Are you serious?" looks.

Before Scott has any time to actually say anything, Rylee leans in close to me and says: "Do you wanna ditch and get out of here?"

All I do is nod my head.

"Desperately!!" I yell out. "Um... sorry Scotty but I'm not going to math." I stand up from the bed once again and Rylee and I walk out.

"Don't worry... I'll cover for you." Scott yells put from behind. Rylee and I keep walking until we're out of school grounds. We hop in my jeep and drive.
