Everything Has Changed

"Hold my hand," Stiles said a he and Alexi approached the Beacon Hills Bowling Alley entrance. Alexi snickered at his comment and kept on walking without taking his hand. "Alexi, come on. If they see us holding hands, they'll really think we are dating."

"Oh my god," She groaned, taking her best friend's hand and dragging him down to the lanes.

"Hey guys," Allison waved as she and Scott were picking out their bowling balls.

"Hey," Alexi replied.

"Um, I'll go get the shoes," Stiles said before running to the clerk.

"I thought you said, you weren't dating?" Allison pointed out as she watched Stiles interact with the official.

"Well, you know," Alexi paused, "We just couldn't deny our love for one another anymore." She managed to say without gagging.

"Awe, that's sweet," Allison smiled while Scott stood behind her shaking his head and almost dying of laughter.

Eventually, Stiles came back with the shoes and some curly fries and the games started. Lydia sucked (of course) even with the help of her boyfriend, Allison and Jackson were both pretty good—making occasional strikes, here and there; Stiles and Scott were just plan out horrible, instead of throwing the bowl forward Stiles accidentally let the ball fly out of his hands and it almost hit Lydia, and Scott kept getting gutter balls. For, Alexi she was doing the best—all she had was strikes, except for one gutter because Stiles wanted to come up and help her, but all he did was distract her.

"Where did you learn how to bowl, Carter?" Jackson asked, watching Alexi as she made her way back to her seat next to Stiles.

"Oh, when I was younger my dad had this bowling team and whatever," She told him while she took her seat next to Stiles.

"Really?" Jackson questioned.

"Mhm," Alexi nodded.

Stiles and Lydia watched as their partners had their short conversation, and couldn't help but feel a little jealousy inside. While Stiles tried to ignore the feeling, Lydia couldn't help but become angry.

It was now Scott's turn to go catch another gutter ball. Everyone watched as he got to lane, just waiting for him to mess up. Allison quickly got up and ran to her date, and began whispering something's to him. She soon came back, and Scott went but he didn't score a gutter, he got a strike. Pretty much everyones mouth hung to the floor, wondering how he could become so good out of nowhere.

Alexi leaned over to Allison. "What did you say to him?"

"You know," Allison said, "Something just to boost his confidence." She assured, winking.

Stiles looked at Alexi. "Why don't you do stuff like that for me?" He wondered.

Alexi rolled her eyes. "Shut up," She laughed.

...

"You know what, I actually had fun today," Alexi confessed as she and Stiles walked up to her front porch. Stiles was shocked by her remark, she was the main person who didn't want to go out that evening, but she had the most fun unlike everyone else.

"Even with Lydia and Jackson?" Stiles asked.

Alexi nodded, "But, I could do without Lydia side comments on every time I would talk to Jackson."

Stiles laughed, "She's just jealous because you're actual competition."

They stopped as they reached the front door. "What do you mean?" Alexi wondered.

"I mean, I saw the way Jackson was looking at your ass every time you went up to bowl." He said in a not so nice tone. Just thinking about made Stiles want to go knock Jackson's front teeth out.

"Oh, is someone jealous?" Alexi questioned, placing her hands on her hips.

Stiles shook his head uncontrollably, "No, I'm just saying. Plus, I get to look at your pretty little ass everyday, so," He informed.

"Stiles!" Alexi shouted, slapping his arm.

They both laughed for awhile, and then it slowly became quiet. All you could hear was the sounds of crickets and the wind rustling through the trees, it was pretty soothing.

Alexi began digging in her bag in search of her house keys. "Well, I'll see you later," She told Stiles as she pulled her keys out. She began fidgeting with the lock as Stiles slowly made his was down the three stairs, leading up to her porch.

She finally got the door to unlock, and began making her way inside.

"Goodnight," Stiles hesitated, making Alexi turn around, "Girlfriend."

A smile crept along Alexi's face as she said, "Goodnight, boyfriend."
