Recently, I've become a lot more popular and it's weird since Allison and Scott started dating they hung out a lot which meant I was third-wheeling with Stiles. But I'd walk through the Halls and people I've actually never spoken too would come up and start a conversation with me.

I've been invited to parties and made loads of new friends. Best of all, Stiles and I were a lot closer and you could definitely feel the tension between us.

I was sat at lunch with Allison, Scott, and Issac talking about the History essay, that none of us had started when I heard a commotion. It didn't take long before we found out it was Malia and Stiles.

"I can't believe you're doing this here!" Stiles exclaimed.

"Doing what, confronting you for the liar you are!" She shouted right back. I don't usually like getting involved with drama, but I couldn't look away.

"You know what Malia, I can't do this anymore! I think we should break up." He said trying to stay calm.

"Fine!" She screamed but before storming out. The boy looked around before spotting us and walking our way.

"Hey, guys." He said before taking a seat next to me, we all just smiled. "You guys saw that, didn't you?"

"It was pretty hard to miss," I spoke giving him a reassuring smile.

"So what was that about?" Scott asked.

"Malia being crazy as per usual," He replied.

"She one crazy... hot bitch," Issac added. We all immediately glared at Issac. "Guys, I was kidding!" He lied.

"So Lyds," Allison said as she was trying to change the topic. "Who are you going to the Winter Formal with?"

"To be honest, I wasn't really going to go, those things are just cruel. Girls dressing up for some lame-ass guys just to look their way," I replied.

"So I'm guessing no one asked you?" Issac stated.

"Nope, "I really hoped Stiles would ask to take me, but it never occurred to him.

"Stiles?" Scott said catching the attention of him. "Who are you taking, since you and Malia are not obviously going?"

"Dunno?" He replied plainly.

"I have an idea!" Allison said. "Why don't you and Lydia go together?" He quickly looked at me making sure I was okay with him asking.

"Okay," He said. The biggest grin crept up upon my face and I could not stop smiling.

"This is perfect we can go dress shopping together!" Allison squealed.

"I guess we can," I said with the biggest smile on my face. It felt weird though, I had the feeling Stiles didn't want to go with me he just wasn't being himself.

I couldn't wait for the Winter Formal, knowing I was going with Stiles. I was in Science when a new boy entered the room.

"Class, I want you to meet a new student Mr. Raeken. I want you to make him feel welcome!" The principle stated before leaving the room.

I've got to say he was good-looking, he had this brown soft hair and these gorgeous green eyes that are just divine. At that moment I had forgotten about my crush on Stiles. HELL, I'd forgotten about him full stop. He walked over and took a seat next to me.

"Hi, I'm Theo Raeken," He spoke his voice gentle and sweet.

"H-hi, I'm Lydia, Lydia Martin." Fluttering my eyelashes as I started drooling all over this boy. After staring at him for a straight fifteen minutes, it was lunch. I went to pick up my bag before hearing my name.

"Hey, Lydia." I turned to face him. "I was just wondering if I could spend lunch with you as I don't really know anyone here?"

"Of course! There's five of us Allison, Scott, Issac, Stiles and me," I explained with a smile. "Allison and Scott are a thing and Issac is sorta seeing this girl... Cora from the school across town. Stiles has just gotten out of a relationship and is not really the lovey type."

"What about you Miss Martin?" He asked seductively.

"I'm single."

"Good to know," He sent a with a wink. We arrived at the cafeteria and I started to introduce Theo to everyone.

"Guys this is Theo Raeken he just moved here! Theo that's Allison, Scott, Issac and where's Stiles?"

"Hooking up with some girl somewhere...probably." Issac simply stated. I didn't really feel sad or anything maybe I just need to get a new boy toy to get over my old boy toy. I also had the unnerving feeling because Stiles was being distant all week, ever since he asked me to the Formal.

"So Theo, how are you liking your first day?" Scott asked.

"It's alright, better now I've got to meet Miss Martin." I couldn't help but blush at his comment. Before he said anything else we were interrupted but a familiar dirty blonde.

"Hey, I'm Malia Tate, the most popular girl in the school," The snob pried.

"I'm Theo."

"So Theo... wanna come to hang out with me and the cool people." She said looking at us like we were dirt.

"Actually no, I think these people are quite cool." He replied.

"Fine! Come find me when you get bored." She winked before, walking away.

"She seems a bit full of herself." We all started laughing at his comment.

"Tell me about it," Allison said. We stayed there all of lunch getting to know our new friend, Stiles never once popping into my head.

"Hey Stiles!" I said while trying to keep up with him. "Stiles!"

"What!" He shouted. 

"I just wanted to check on you've been really distant since that whole Winter Formal thing. If you don't want to go it's fine?"

"Do you know what, I don't! Why would I want to go with someone like you! A loser and a loner who will never get a boyfriend!" He shouted. I could feel my heart-breaking and the water filling up my eyes.

"Where is this coming from?" I asked.

"Malia was right I should've just left you alone, I should've just done this stupid project and then left you like the outcast you are!" He spat.

"Fine! I hate you, Stiles Stilinski!" The hatred I was feeling for him didn't even compare to the heartbreak I was feeling. As soon as I got home I let the sobs escape while I collapsed to the floor laying there for hours. I couldn't believe him, I thought... I thought...

I thought I loved him?

Little did she know his heart was breaking too...

o n e w e e k l a t e r

It had been a week since I had met Theo and he was my best friend. We would talk all the time and I helped him out with all of his work as he would help me. I hadn't talked to Stiles but knew I would have to eventually to finish our project.

In a sense, I wasn't really bothered because I had Theo and I was happy. He had also asked me to the Winter Formal, I said yes considering Stiles broke my heart and left me in a million pieces. I was at home reading a book when I got a message from Allison.

A l l i s o n:
Hey Lydia, have you spoken to Stiles this week?? Xx

L y d i a :
                                                    No, Why? xx

I didn't tell Allison about the argument Stiles and I had.

A l l i s o n :

L y d i a :
