Stiles watched as Brie walked onto the pitch and towards where Lydia was sitting.

She seemed out of it. She was definitely thinking about something. Was that a good thing or a bad thing? Where is Scott.

Brie looked over to Stiles who was already looking at her with a smile. Oh she really fucked up. Why did Scott have to kiss her?

Why does she care what Stiles thinks? She gave him an awkward smile before looking away again.

Suddenly Scott sat beside him.

"Hey. What happened?" Stiles asked, not being able to wait another minute.

"What?" Scott asked.

"What do you mean, what?" Stiles scoffed. "Did you ask her? Did she say anything? Did she say she liked me? Did she imply she liked me?"

"Yeah," Scott lied quickly. "Yeah, she likes you. In fact, she's totally into you."

Stiles internally celebrated, looking over at the blonde girl. Why didn't she seem happy if she liked him? Maybe he's over thinking this. Scott wouldn't lie about this.

"Hey, earth to Brie?" Lydia said, waving a hand in front of her face to get her attention. "You in there ?"

Brie jumped and zoned back in. "Yeah? Sorry, tired."

"You okay?" Allison asked, looking concerned. "Need to talk?"

"No," Brie answered quickly. She didn't have the heart to tell Allison what Scott did. I mean, she would tell her in time, but not now. "I'm just thinking about that test. He's definitely gonna fail me."

Practice started and Brie didn't talk much. She watched as Scott rammed into Danny. He looked badly hurt.

She ran down to see if he was okay along with the rest of the team.

"Is he okay?" Brie asked Jackson once her and Lydia made it down to the pitch.

"Yeah, it looks like he just has a bloody nose," Jackson answered before facing her. He stopped taking one he saw her face.

"What?" she asked.

"Your lipstick," he answered, gesturing to the smudged lipstick.

Lydia made Brie face her and then took out a mirror for her. Brie laughed awkward and wiped the smudged but off.

"Must've got smudged by my hair blowing in the wind or something," she lied, making up any excuse she could think of.

"Yeah, I wonder," Lydia said suspiciously with a raised eyebrow.

Stiles watched the whole interaction with an open mouth. Brie looked down to the ground awkwardly.

Stiles suddenly realised what had happened.

Scott didn't ask Brie if she liked him. Scott kiss her.

Brie took one look at Stiles face and told Lydia to follow her to the bathroom to 'clean up'.

"Hair got caught in the wind and smudged your lipstick?" she mocked once they got into the bathroom. "Please, that's your excuse?"

"I didn't know what else to say, Lyds," she stood in front of the mirror to reapply her lipgloss. "I panicked."

"Why don't you tell me what really happened then," Lydia folded her arms.

Brie sighed and faced the strawberry blonde girl. "Promise not to tell anyone?"
