But now, the fact that he was now faced with having to explain it here, in front of a girl he had a crush on a few short months ago, made him want to throw himself off a balcony.

But she knew how inseparable Stiles and Scott were. âA joke?â Lydia laughed, shaking her head ever so slightly. âPlease tell me you are still doing this? Because I so need to see that happening live! I will even play damsel in distress so the two of you have a reason to do it.âÂ
