Day 4 (Wed July 14th): Hot boy summer
It only took him a few minutes to figure out what he wanted.
He did not need to be beholden to Scott alone. The world was his oyster, and he had ended up on the radar big time between going to prom with Lydia and scoring for the lacrosse team. He was awkward, but he was also funny, and Danny liked him well enough (he pretended otherwise, but Stiles saw right through him. He could have easily said he did not want to be Stiles’ partner, but he hadn’t). How hard could getting new friends be?
2. Become better at lacrosse (or just become fitter)
He had always purposefully not tried very hard, because of Scott and his asthma. He could have trained harder, practiced more, put in more effort in preparation of the lacrosse season. But he had never had the incentive to do it, when it meant that Scott would be alone on the bench.
Scott had not had such problems, when he suddenly turned into a werewolf, and Stiles viciously highlighted the word on the paper.
Plus after the Gerard thing... no. Stiles refused to be caught in a situation like that ever again, where an old man got the drop on him.
3. Figure out his sexuality and get a partner
Yeah... that was another can of worms.
He had been in love with Lydia since he was in middle school. Loved her, loved how she looked, loved how smart she was, just all around loved her and the idea of her. Had definitely wanted to date her.
But lately... he had started to look at guys a little too long. He had always thought Danny and many on the lacrosse team were hot, but he had started to think of them as ‘cute’ too, and that was just weird. Right?
And just the whole Derek Hale thing. And the way his heart had literally fluttered for a second when that psycho Matt said ‘You two make a pretty cute couple’.
4. Derek Hale (Hales + Hale pack in general)
He wasn’t sure why he needed him added in the list or what he meant exactly, but he felt he should add it. He’d rather not get mixed up in werewolf/hunter politics ever again, but his father was a sheriff in the town and there was very little chance of him and Stiles fleeing. So he’d need to do something about Derek. And Peter.
