Right with me

Chapter 3

Lydia

I barely slept that night. I was busy drowning in my own thoughts. Everything happened so suddenly, I don't even really know myself why happened. How I woke up in the woods, with cuts on palms, which in some weird way healed? That Allison, her boyfriend and a bunch of other people showed up, and that a hot guy who has a girlfriend, and that I've been to school with since elementary school, who also sits behind me in biology class, and apparently who I didn't know existed, drove me to his house, let me stay because there was a storm, and was being really nice to me, did I mention that his girlfriend came to his room trough his window? I looked up to the half-open window, and it looked like it was about 7 AM. I drag myself out of bed, knowing Stiles was probably still asleep. I slowly open the door and walk trough the small hallway leisurely, and then I saw Stiles downstairs, looking like he was saying goodbye to his girlfriend, Malia. He waved at her while she was getting close to the door, and then she left. And he turned around, spotting me. He put his hand over his mouth and let it slide, and then walked over to me.

"Morning! Did you sleep alright? I'm sorry if I sounded like a mom, but I really don't know what else to say" He tells me, to which I laugh. We stare at each other for a bit, until he breaks the silence.

"Do you wanna eat here? Orrr I can just directly take you home, I mean I'll call Scott to take you home"

"Is it okay if I stay here for a little more?" I ask, knowing it was a dumb question, I should've just told him to call Scott, but maybe he was asleep.

"Yeah, It's fine. We only have stuff here to make only 1 sandwich. Do you want anything else, I can go to the store nea-"

"It's ok, thank you" I cut him off "But then what will you eat?"

"Uhhh, milk?"

"Are you kidding? Don't you have cereal?"

"I don't think so, like I said if you want anything else to eat, I'll go to the store nearby or I'll call my dad to get something on his way home" I get the sudden urge to ask 'what about your mom?' but I abstain myself. Not knowing the situation, He didn't bring it up, I wasn't gonna ask him something that I didn't know and maybe he doesn't wanna talk about. Or I am just exaggerating and his mom is perfectly fine.

"Like I said, it's fine. Unless you want something else."

"Nah, I'm fine with milk. I like milk. I'm okay with milk." The way he was saying milk multiple times didn't seem to annoy me that much, usually when someone says something 3 or more times in less than 5 sentences, it makes my stomach crawl.

"How come I didn't know you, all this time?" I ask him, which seemed like a straight-forward and weird question. I mean it did sound like I was insinuating he'd been lying all this time, and we didn't actually go to school together since elementary and he was just a good liar.

"I don't know. Guess you just never, noticed me, I guess."

"Then how'd you notice me? How do you remember?" I felt like I was just going over the top with the questions, and just made him feel weird.

"You caught my eye" I smiled, sincerely. That did sound like he was flirting with me a bit, even though he had a girlfriend. I licked my lower lip and continued to look at him. Knowing damn well that we were basically staring at each other. Forgetting time, and just sitting there, both leaned in so close. But I pulled away. And returned to eating breakfast. I could see him still looking at me, but I didn't look back. As I was finished eating, I took the plate to the sink and washed it, but before I even knew it, Stiles was there.

"You don't need to do that, it's fine I'll wash them in a bit"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, very" He said while grabbing my hands and leading them out of the sink. He loosened his light grip on my hands and smiled at me. "You can tell me when you want me to call Scott. And if you want other clothes" Some other clothes seemed nice, but for some reason, I didn't wanna leave. My mom was only coming on monday. I didn't wanna be alone, it was so easy talking to Stiles. I never got how people felt comfortable around each other after such a short amount of time. Like how Allison met Scott, was friends with him for less than a week, then they got together. And have been ever since. I'm not saying I want to start a relationship with Stiles, or that I like him, like that. It would be too soon, and he has a girlfriend.

"Do you, uh-wanna watch a movie?" Sties's voice interrupted my thoughts. I barely watched any movie other than The Notebook. And If I were too watch something different, it had to be a special occasion, or I REALLY didn't have anything else to do. It was anything but a special occasion today, and I wanted to sleep so badly. But somehow, I couldn't refuse.

"Do you have The Notebook, by any chance?"

"No, I don't think so. I only have all of the Star Wars movies. He told me, sounding embarrassed. I sigh. Convincing myself not to ask him to go to a rental.

"I mean, I don't really know what it's about. There's a big chance I'll fall asleep, but seeing I don't really have another choice, in movies. Fine" He awkwardly, and excitedly smiles. And runs up to his room. I catch myself slip out a small chuckle, at the way he runs to his room so eagerly and so agitated. I had to admit, it was cute. Before I could finish thinking about something other than him running up to his room, he came back. With like 4 CD's. I looked at him confusingly.

"You said 'a movie'."

"They're really good, figured you might like them." He goes towards the T, inserting one of the CD's in it. After he's done, he jumps on the ouch, aggressively, which causes me to jump as well. And then it begins. The intro was really boring, I almost grabbed the remote and turned it off. I was surprised to see that they didn't turn out to be as horrible as I thought. Stiles made some popcorn halfway trough the movie. And I ate it all, in approximately less than 25 minutes. Andd then I fell asleep.
