|Chapter 16|
Today is shopping day. Yay or nay.
Being with Allison and Lydia helps me forget about my problems.
We are now in Macy’s and I am helping them with their dressing as well as buying a suit for myself.
“So Dayton, who’s the lucky guy?” Lydia asks twirling her strawberry blonde hair as we entered the shop.
“Danny.” I say simply.
“Oh my god, I ship it.” Lydia says and Allison laughs. This girl.
“We’re going just as friends.” I say keeping pace with both girls.
“It always starts as just friends.” Lydia says rolling her eyes.
We are now going up the rolling stairs going into the prom dressing/outfit sections.
“Who are you guys going with?” I ask both girls.
“I’m going with – Jackson and Lydia is going with some next up jock.” She says and I nod. Figures.
I’m not surprised about Lydia’s date and I also heard that Jackson asked Allison to go to the Formal with Allison.
I wonder how he did it.
I look at Allison and she is looking down looking quite depressed.
“What’s up with you?” I ask Allison.
“What – nothing – I just have a lot in my mind.” I bet it includes Scott.
“You could smile, at least. Ever heard of the saying, ‘Never frown. Someone could be falling in love with your smile’? Smile Allison, I’m buying you a dress.” Lydia says to her best friend.
“Have to admit as far as apologies go, that’s more then I expected.” Allison says with her arms crossed against her chest as we were finally approaching the top of the stairs.
“Excellent.” Lydia says and I chuckle.
Yeah, Lydia and Scott kissed. Which sucks. Especially for Allison. I guess Lydia wanted to get Jackson jealous but she forgot that Scott was Allison’s love interest.
“But not as I am going to ask.”Allison asks turning to Lydia as we reached the top of the stairs.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Lydia asks confused.
“You are going to cancel on whatever, dumb, roided-up jock you said yes to and you’re going to go with. Somebody else.” Allison says.
“Who?” I ask curiously.
Allison mods towards someone. I look in the direction to see Stiles himself in the perfume section.
“Him.” Allison says as Lydia looks and frowns.
Stiles is looking very curiously at a perfume when it accidentally comes off and the spray goes in Stiles’ face making him wince and cough/spit everywhere. I chuckle at his clumsiness.
“Oh don’t frown, Lydia. Somebody could be falling in love with your smile.” Allison says and that makes me smile on my own.
Stiles looks in our direction and slightly waves.
I walk up to him.
“Hi dork.” I say.
“Hi wanker.” He says making me laugh.
“Look – I think Lydia would be up to going to the formal with you.” I say and Stiles turns to Lydia to see her slightly fake a smile. “Go up to her.” I say.
“But –” he says but I push him forward. I hope everything works out perfectly… even though I’m not going with Stiles to the formal.
He looks back at me with an unreadable expression flying in his face as I give him an encouraging smile as he turns to Lydia and walks towards her.
Good luck.

I was now looking through the suits. I really want a suite that stands out so I was looking through the suits as I found the perfect yellow suit. Yes, I wanted to stand out.
And I went with a black shirt on the inside. As for the shoes I also went with black formal shoes with a white tie.
Pretty colourful if you ask me.
“That is an interesting choice.” Allison says from next to me. I smile at her.
“I’m a pretty interesting person if you hadn’t noticed.” I said jokingly. As we laugh and she nods.
She was looking at the mirror with a red dress.
“That’s not your colour.” I turn around to see Peter speaking with Allison. Shit. “Sorry if that was intrusive, but considering your skin tone. I’d go lighter.” He says and I keep an eye on him as he also looks at me from time to time.
“Because I’m pale?” I hear Allison ask.
“Fair. I mean, you can’t call skin like yours pale. Not skin that perfect.” Peter says. Smooth?
“Okay.” She says looking a bit weird. I mean who wouldn’t. This guy just came up to you and started to tell you things such as your skin is perfect.
“Trust me, I- I have a unique perspective on the subject.” He says looking through the dresses. He picks up a lighter one and places it next to Allison. “See? Much better.” Peter says.
I walk up closer to Allison.
“Alli – uh – Lydia is looking for you. You better go to her otherwise she might thing you bailed.” I say and she nods getting the dress and walking away.
“Smart, Dayton.” Peter states in front of me. “You are just as smart as your mother.” He says.
“Don’t speak about my mother.” I say.
“You would make an excellent werewolf.” He says getting closer as I step back.
“I guess you will never know.” I say walking away to the

I was now getting ready for the formal. Which is happening in one hour. Danny is picking me up since he is such a kind soul and also because I don’t have a car. Yet!
I already had my yellow pants and my black shirt which I tucked in my pants. I put some cream on my face which made my face lighten up. I’m going out of this town hard.
Even though I don’t mind going with Danny. I would love to go with Stiles. He is an amazing guy and my crush for about a year but oh well. It’ll happen some day.
I put on my yellow blazer and button it up.
I look myself in the mirror one last time. Tomorrow is the day that I am going out of this town and it is a bittersweet feeling. I love this town and especially the people in it. I will never forget this town.
My thoughts are interrupted by the bell. I whisper good luck to myself because why not?
I run downstairs as I wave my father a goodbye as he is looking at me and my outfit for a moment but then goes back to his TV. Better reaction then I thought.
I open the door and there Danny stands. He has this black outfit with white shirt inside. He flashes me a smile as I smile back at him as we go to his car. I am glad by dad wasn’t at the door.
Why do I care anyways? This is my night. I need to have fun and forget about all my problems and everyone.
“You look cool.” Danny breaks out the silence and I chuckle.
“Is that all you can come up with?” I ask jokingly.
“Fine then. You look different – a good different. A different that I don’t see around too much.” He states and I smile.
“Thank you. I really wanted to stand out since I am leaving tomorrow.” I say as I sadly smile.
“I’m gonna miss you. Hell, I think the whole town is going to miss you. Especially Stiles.” He says and I turn to him with a confused expression.
“Stiles?” I ask and he nods.
“Yeah. Everyone sees how he is head over heels over you. It’s kind of cute. Plus I always knew he was gay. He sometimes gave me the look.” He said and chuckle as I shake my head.
“Okay, okay save it.” I say.
So maybe Stiles does like me. Somehow, I mean there is a possibility since he is bisexual.
We get in Danny’s car and I put my seat belt on. Today is gonna be a wild night.
I had no idea…
“By the way you look nice too.” I say.
“Thank you.” He says turning on his vehicle and starting to drive up to the formal.
//
We we’re now in the school’s parking lot and it was almost packed full of cars. I could already see Stiles’ jeep. I hope he has an amazing night since he’s date is the girl he’s been in love with for years.
Even though he told me he was over her. Which is odd and I am yet to know who is his new crush. However, I haven’t got much time.
Danny parks his car and turns off the engine as we quickly get out of the car. And let me tell you, it is a very nice car.
We walk together up to the basketball court which is where the formal is taking place as we talk about random things. I actually got to learn a lot of stuff about Danny. He is a rather interesting guy.
We walk inside and the music quickly finds its way into my ears. I see people dancing against other people, drunk people already on the floor and I see Lydia and Stiles sitting down. This sight makes me feel extremely sad. It’s supposed to be a fun night and Stiles is sitting down?
“You okay?” Danny shouts through the music.
I nod at him as I can’t be asked to shout right now.
We slowly start to dance and get into the rhythm as I try to forget about my problems and basically everything but there is one thing that finds its way to my head. Stiles. I can’t bare to see him with a defeat look on his face.
I look at where Stiles is for the 100th time tonight and he is not there. I look around and see him and Lydia dancing. I smile to myself seeing my friend happy.
I love him.
And when you love someone, it doesn’t matter if he is with you or not. The only thing that matters is that he is happy. If he is happy then why shouldn’t I?
I can’t believe I actually came to terms that I actually love the guy. I really do.
The slow song came on and I look at Danny as he looks back at me. It is my night and since this is one of the songs he puts his arms on my waist as I put my arms around his neck as we dance slowly together.
“I know you don’t want to be here. At least with me.” He says and I look at him confused. “You wanna be with him.” He says shaking his head towards the buzzcut. I slightly smile at him as he caught that I wanted to.
“And I wanted to be with him.” He states shaking his head towards a blonde guy also with a buzzcut.
“I guess it’s a bittersweet night.” I say and he chuckles.
I let go of him and he looks at me with a questionable expression.
“Go to him.” I say with a smile.
“Are you sure? Dayton –” he says and I push him forward.
“Go. I’ll be fine. Thank you for coming with me here.” I say and he smiles as he starts to make his way to the guy.
“McCall I see you!” I hear the coach shout. Literally everyone stops dancing as they see the chase between Scott and the Coach.
Scott runs in my direction and puts his arms around my neck.
“What are you-” I say but he pulls my arms towards his waist.
“McCall!” Coach says as he comes to us. He is about to start shouting but looks between us both.
“Wait – what are you –” coach says and everyone literally turns to him. The good thing about everyone in this town is that everyone is so accepting and open minded. Something I have yet to see in any other place in the world.
Everyone looks at Coach and the coach probably noticed that he fucked up and is coming of as if he had something against us as a couple. Which is not the case. Scott was just kicked out from the formal.
“I mean – it’s not that – I have nothing against. Lets continue with the party! Yeah!” Coach says grabbing a drink and walking away.
“What the hell was that?” I ask my best friend.
“Thank you! Thank you!” He says and smiles as he walks away probably to meet Allison. I really hope they get their shit together.
I walk towards the drinking area to get myself a drink.
“You look nice.” I hear from behind me. I turn around to see Stiles in front of me. I smile at him as I pick up my drink.
“Thank you. You don’t look bad yourself.” I chuckle.
He walks towards me and sits next to me.
“Where’s Lydia?” I ask looking around for the strawberry blonde.
“She went out looking for Jackson.” He says and sighs.
“Sorry.” I say.
“Nah, its okay. I didn’t want to come with her anyways.” He says and I look at him curiously. “I’d prefer to have your company tonight.” He says and I feel the heat rise onto my cheeks.
Is this happening?
“How many drinks have you had, sir.” I asked. I was thinking about calling him daddy but that is a little bit of a stretch.
“Totally sober.” He says pointing his finger at his own chest.
I look around and see Jackson.
“Hey, Jackson is there.” I tell the buzzcut next to me.
“Where’s Lydia?” He asks looking around.
“I don’t know. I can’t see her.” I say.
“I’ll be right back. I’m going to talk to him.” Stiles says and I smile at him as he makes his way to Jackson as they start having a conversation right away.
I take a sip from my drink which tasted really nice. It had a mix of all tropical fruits which was insanely amazing.
I look back to see Jackson and Stiles and I can’t see Stiles.. Where the hell did that wanker go?
I get up from my seat and start making my way to Jackson.
“Hey Jackass.” I ask and he rolls his eyes. “Wheres Stiles?” I ask and he chuckles.
“Your boyfriend went out looking for my ex-girlfriend.” He says as I nod.
Completely forgetting that he just called Stiles my boyfriend but I am too worried to say anything about it.
I continue to look around. I think he went outside.
I walk outside and see Jackson carrying a body with blood on the person’s neck.
“HELP!!” Jackson screams as people around him scream.
I look closer to see Lydia in his arms.
