The Boy with the Bat [1] Stiles Stilinski

Chapter Five:

"where do you think you're going kiddo?" Hope's father asked her "Stiles invited me over for dinner before the lacrosse game" she answered earning a look from her mother "No chance in hell are you going into that house" she spat "Okay I've had enough of this.....I will do what the hell I want to do mother. You've been acting like a real bitch since you and Jade become close and I've had enough" Hope shouted slamming her front door.

Hope went to knock on Stiles' front door, but he opened it before she even had the chance "What the hell happened then?" He asked her "I told my mother where to go" she laughed "Well it's about time" he answered "Where's Brandon?" he added "He's busy playing on his stupid console so I have to grab him before we leave" Stiles gave her a nod in return and allowed her into the house.

She took a seat next to Stiles at the table opposite his cousin Crystal. She never liked her, there was just something about her that screamed Bitch. Jade carried over the plates filled with food and placed them onto the table. Yum Lasagna, Stilinski always made the best meals when it came to having guests over.

"So, how's school been kids?" Jade asked them "Um....Interesting is the word I'd use" Hope answered earning a 'are you serious' look for Crystal. What the hell is her problem? "Finding it hard to make friends are you?" Crystal laughed "No.....I have plenty of friends" Hope says bluntly "I wouldn't call my cousin a friend....would you?" She spat

"Crystal that's enough please" Jade half-yelled "How's your mother doing?" Jade asked Hope "I think you know the answer to that" she replied "Yeah....don't you spend enough time with her to know?" Stiles added "I see where this is going. Your mother is questioning who she can trust out of your friends right?" Jade mentions "How do you know that?" Hope asked, "because your mother tells me everything and in my opinion I think she's right" Jade half-yelled.

"What do you mean?" Hope asked her "I mean Scott, Liam and Erica can't be trusted and I think you know that" Jade tells her "No! I can trust them with my life, but you missed someone out" Hope says "I don't think I missed anybody out?" Jade informs her raising an eyebrow "Yeah you did......My mother has been giving hate towards Stiles too, isn't that odd" Hope spat "I don't see the problem with Stiles but maybe it's because your friends with them" Jade comments "and what's wrong with them?" Stiles asked, "I think you know the answer to that" Jade adds "Well I don't! Care to share?" Hope snapped "You have no idea what they are do you?" Jade blurts out flicking her eyes at Stiles then back at Hope "They're my friends that's what they are"

'What the hell is happening? - Hope' She typed under the table looking over at Stiles and nodding her head to his phone 'I don't know but I'm going to find out - Stiles' 'This doesn't make any sense. It's as if they're cornering us - Hope' 'Don't worry I'll sort it promise - Stiles'

"What did I miss?" Stilinski asked taking his seat next to Jade "I was just asking Stiles about the lacrosse game" Jade answered. Crystal laughed at her mother's comment and gave Hope a smirk. Someone's going to die soon if they carry on, Hope shouted in her mind.

"We're playing against Devenford Prep, so I doubt we'll win tonight's game" Stiles answered, "Oh don't be so sure....Maybe you'll learn some new tricks" Hope added "We'll see tonight but I hope Brett's in his friendly mood" Stiles chuckled. Brett Talbot Hope's old friend from Devenford Prep....Yeah she doubted he'll be in the mood to let Beacon Hills High win.

Hope walked into her house and called for Brandon to get ready to leave. Knowing him he'd probably take a good 15 minutes. She heard a knock at her door and immediately let Stiles into the house "You ready kiddo?" Brandon called which Hope gave him a nod in return. She headed towards the door until she felt a pair of hands grab her arm.

She turned around to see her mother. She took her hand from Hope's arm and folded her arms giving her this serious look "You are not going to that game and that's final" she spat. Hope rolled her eyes and looked back at Stiles "I'll meet you there. I promise I'll be there" she told him to see a sad smile on his face.
