Life In Color

4.

Lydia and her best friend, Allison are at Lydia's house doing their makeup. There is a big party tonight that their friend Malia is throwing. Everyone is going to be there.  

   "I mean of course I like him and think he's cute, Ally. But it's a lot of pressure to know you are like meant to be with someone." Lydia grabs her mascara and starts to make that face you do when you're trying not to mess it up. 

"No I completely understand, Scott won't stop pushing me to get to know him. And it's just like dude come on, can't we just hang out?" Allison is just finishing up with some lip gloss.

"Oh god, do you think they are going to be there? Stiles did say Scott was his best friend.." It's crazy how life works out that way.

 "I mean yeah, probably." And with a bit of setting spray and perfume, the girls are out and ready for a fun night.

    

"Dude, hurry up we are going to be late!" Scott pounds on the bathroom door making Stiles jump a little. 

They both know their soulmates are going to be at this party, it is a bit nerve-wracking. Stiles is wearing a buttoned-up shirt with some faded jeans, and Scott is wearing a shirt with half long sleeves and a pair of skinny jeans. Stiles puts on a bit a cologne, making sure not to spray too much, and then is on his way.                                                

The girls walk into Malia's mansion, her parents are on vacation and she has the house all to herself. So, of course, as any teenager would she is throwing the hottest party of the year. Lydia is in a floral purple dress, with her hair in an up-do. She has bright red lipstick on and a smokey eye. Allison, on the other hand, has a leather jacket on with a white flowy shirt underneath and some skinny jeans. She has mauve lips and a smokey eye as well. 

"Lydia?" She turns around and sees her boyfriend, Jackson. The poor boy who thinks they are soulmates. Lydia hasn't broken the news to him quite yet, just because she doesn't know how to do it. 

"Jackson!" He quickly pulls her into a hug and they peck each other on the lips. 

"I'm going to go get us some drinks, Lyds," Allison yells over the music, immediately dodging this situation. 

Scott and Stiles roll into the mansion, fashionably late. Or at least they think it's fashionable to be late. Immediately, there are way too many people for Stiles' liking. Bodies swarming, jumping to the overly loud music. 

"Are you sure you wanna be here, man? We totally could just go home and play some Call of Duty." Stiles yells over the music to his best friend.

"Oh come on, this is going to be our only teen party dude. We graduate in a few months, we have to do this sometime!" Scott raises his eyebrows when he sees Allison by the drinks. "Come on, let's go get some drinks!"

The pair shoves their way through the crowd making their way to the girl in a leather jacket. She looks bored and when she sees Scott her eyes actually light up for a second. 

"Hey, Allison!" Scott yells over the third Chainsmokers song to play since they've been here. 

"Oh hey, Scott,"  She offers him a slight smirk and hands him a drink. "And you must be
Stiles, I've heard a lot about you!" 

Oh yeah, he somehow forgot, Allison, is Lydia's best friend. In fact now that he thinks about it, where is she at? 

"Yeah! Where's Lydia at? Did she make it out tonight?" He tries to not sound too aggressive even though he needs to yell over the music. 

"She's with her boyfriend, Jackson," Allison says trying to sound apologetic. "She is his soulmate, and she hasn't had the heart to tell him he isn't hers."

Stiles' heart sinks. This was a mistake to come to this stupid party.
