I Need a Human

Chapter 7

Okay, guys here's the new chapter. There's some incorrect information later about the gods, and I know it's wrong. I literally searched what Stiles did. I think it'll be cute later when he's corrected. Enjoy!  

Slightly turning away from Scott I mutter, "There's really not that much to say other than what you learned earlier in class." I really don't want to talk about Percy right now.

"C'mon," He says tilting his head and giving me puppy dog eyes, "I know you better than that. How long have we been friends?"

I give a little laugh, "Since the womb." Angling my body toward him I confess, "Well. I sort-of-maybe have a tiny crush on him, and I thought he had one on me to, but apparently he has a girlfriend and it's 'complicated'," When I get to the end I bow my head. Quickly raising it again, I give a fake smile, "But that doesn't matter because I'm completely over it. No need to worry about little old me!"

Scott raises an eyebrow and gives me this look that says, 'I know that you're sad, Stiles. It's alright to be sad Stiles. It'll get better, Stiles. Just wait for the one Stiles.' It's amazing what one facial expression can say.

I get up and walk away from him. "Maybe love just doesn't exist for some people, and I'm one of them." By now I'm pacing the room. "I don't really mind; in fact, I'm happy! I don't have to worry about valentine's day and getting my significant other a gift. I won't have to worry about meeting the family. I won't have to wait on anyone to hold my hand as we walk down the school hallway, or have someone wait by my locker and give me a kiss hello."

Scott's giving me a pitying look; I hate being pitied. "Don't give me that look," I reprimand him. "I'm fine." Trying to go down the humorous route, I snap my fingers in a zigzag formation and cock out my hip, "I don't need no man or wo-man to define me. I am my own Stiles."

After a few moments of an awkward silence, Scott finally speaks, "It's perfectly natural that you want to be in a relationship. I mean, most of the pack is in one." When he says this I glower at him. I don't need that reminder right now.

He continues on, "Trust me, when you find the one, it'll be magical. You're heart rate will rise everyti-"

I interrupt him,"Y'know Scott, just because you found true love, relatively easy might I add, doesn't mean that the rest of the human population will."

He looks hurt, "You don't have to be so mean. I'm just trying to help."

Running my fingers through my hair, I slump into a chair. "Well, I appreciate the gesture, but you're really not helping me. At all."

Ignoring my wants,Scott pretends like he didn't just hear what I said, "I think you should take a break from trying to get into a relationship and just focus on something else."

Surprisingly, his advice isn't that bad. Maybe I should put all of my nervous energy to good use. Standing up abruptly I announce, "Thanks, Scott. You're advice was kind of right. I've decided that I'm going to throw myself into research about Greek mythology so that we can be fully prepared!"

"Wait, umm. I was suggesting that you spend time on yourself. You know, find out what you really want and if you're ready for a relationship." He says slightly confused.

Grabbing my backpack, I start walking towards the door and act like I don't hear him, "I'm going to take your advice to heart. Thank you for the conversation; it was very enlightening. Now take me home." I go outside and wait by his moped. I am definitely driving myself to school tomorrow. It sucks to have to wait for people to go everywhere.

Scott must've still been sitting on the couch, confused, because I have to go inside and drag him out of the house. He tries to talk to me again once we're on the way to my house, but I ignore him again.
