Kids in the Dark [S.S. Book One]

Twenty-Eight

That night, there apparently was another murder. I met up with Scott, to find Stiles already there. Scott cut right to the chase. "I looked everywhere. It's like he just walked away. Left his car, his dog."

Stiles nodded slowly. "Okay. Was he, like... could he have been a virgin maybe? Did he look like a virgin? Was he, you know, virginal?"

I clamped my hand over Stiles' mouth. "Stop saying virgin or virginal."

Scott gave a small smirk as he said, "No, definitely not. Deaton makes me have sex with all of his clients. It's a new policy."

Stiles let out a small chuckle as Scott sighed.

I checked the time on my phone and groaned silently. "And Ally is out of here. I have a big test in math today that I need to study for. Wish me luck."

Stiles pecked my lips gently. "If it will make you feel better, good luck. But you don't need it."

I gave a small wave to the boys as I headed off to study for my test.

Stiles' POV:

Scott continued with our conversation. "Finally. You and Lyssa are together. No, I don't know if he was a virgin. And why are you talking like he's already dead? He's just missing."

I gave Scott an irritated look. "Missing and presumed dead because he's probably a virgin, Scott. And you know who else is a virgin? Me. I'm a virgin, okay? And so is Ally. And you know what that means? It means that my lack of sexual experience is now literally a threat to my life. Okay, I need to have sex, like, right now. Someone needs to have sex with me, like, today. Like, someone needs to sex me right now!"

A locker slammed behind me causing me to jump. I heard Danny say from behind me, "Alright, I'll do it."

"What?" I asked as I turned to face Danny.

"Come to my place at nine. Plan to stay the night. I like to cuddle."

"Oh. That was so sweet. Are you kidding?"

Danny frowned. "Yes, I'm kidding. Have sex with your girlfriend."

I rolled my eyes and frown at Danny's comment. "Okay, you know, you don't toy with a guy's emotions like that, Danny. It's not attractive, alright?"

Why don't gay guys find me attractive? I don't understand.

Coach called out to Isaac when he saw him. "Mr. Lahey, happy to have you back. Not happy that you're late."

"Sorry, Coach," Isaac answered.

Coach turned to the rest of us. "I'll remind you all, cross-country is not optional for lacrosse players. I don't need to turning into a bunch of fat-asses in the off-season. So work on that."

We got out near the lacrosse field and Ally jogged up to me. I must have been doing more than staring because she gave me a smirk. "You're blushing, Stiles. What are you thinking about?"

"Just the fact that your outfit leaves little to the imagination and that there are hormonal teenage boys here."

She laughed and patted my shoulder. "I appreciate your concern, Stiles. But you and I both know I can kick their ass."

"I don't call you little firecracker for nothing."

The whistle blew and Coach yelled, "Pace yourselves! Come on!"

"Isaac!" Scott called.

Isaac turned to Scott. "It's them."

He ran off as Scott called after him. "Isaac, wait! Isaac!"
