"So you ran a background check, and all you found was a speeding ticket?" Will asked as he and Stiles walked up the steps of the school. Stiles nodded aggressively, turning to Will. "Speeding ticket signed by Theo's dad eight years ago."

"Which means what?" Will asked, not completely understanding what Stiles was insinuating. Stiles looked at Will with wide eyes, a look that Will could only describe as "duh". "Who speeds? People trying to get away from something." Stiles yelled, making Will chuckle.

"Well, how many tickets do you have?" Will asked and Stiles shook his head. "None." He answered almost immediately. Wills brows rose.

"How many would you have if your dad didn't get you out of them?" Will asked and Stiles stopped walking. Will stopped as well, turning to Stiles who had a clenched jaw. "Seventeen." He angrily answered.

Stiles looked up at Will, taking a step closer to him. "I have a plan. All right? There are steps to doing this right." Stiles said and Will sighed. He put his hands in his pockets and tilted his head. "What steps?" Will asked and Stiles nodded, holding out his hand, ready to count the steps on his fingers.

"We get the story. Verify the facts. You find the piece that doesn't fit and...and catch him in the act. That's how you do it."

...

Wills walked into AP Biology nervous. It's his first AP class, he didn't know what to expect. He noticed Lydia, Scott, and Lira all in the front row. Will looked to find an empty seat around them, but only saw two empty seats in the back of the class.

"Scott? Are you in the right class?" Will heard Kira asked as Will started to walk up to them to get to the seat in the back. Scott laughed, nodding his head to Kira. "AP Biology."

Just as Lydia was about to ask Scott another question, she noticed Will walking by. She grabbed his hand to stop him and looked up at him with raised brows. "Are you in the right class?"

Jokingly, Will nicked Lydia, taking his hand out of her grasp and walking to the seat in the back. He sat down just as Theo sat down next to him.

"Let's see who's awake. Can somebody tell me what plasmids are?" The teacher, Mrs. Finch yelled and Lydias hand instantly shot up. The teacher pointed at her and even though Will couldn't see her face, he knew she was smiling. "Circular, self-replicating DNA molecules often used in cloning proteins."

Mrs. Finch nodded. "Nicely stated, Lydia. Now, can you tell me what vitamin is absorbed in the stomach via parietal cell production of a glycoprotein?"

Lydia stared at the teacher, mouth agape as she blanked on the answer.

"B-12." Mrs. Finch answered for her before turning her head to Scott beside Lydia. "Mr. McCall, did you know the answer?"

Will watched as Scott straightened up. "Um, no."

"It's a common test question. What's your number one college pick?" Mrs. Finch asked and Wills brows furrowed. She wasn't being this strict when Lydia didn't know the answer.

"Um..." Scott started, but Mrs. Finch shook her head. "Stop saying, um."

"Sorry. UC Davis." Scott said. Mrs. Fjnch squinted before nodding. "Good choice. It's the best school on the West Coast for biological and physical sciences. You're in the right class if that's what you're hoping for." Mrs. Finch said, looking to the rest of the class. "Who else thinks they're in the right class?"

From beside Will, Theo immediately raised his hand. Wills eyes widened, looking back and forth between him and the teacher before raising his hand as well. Soon, the whole class copied the two boys, everyone raising their hands.

Will felt his phone buzz as Mrs. Finch nodded, turning back to the board. Making sure she wasn't looking, Will check his texts and saw Stiles.

"Bring Theo to the locker rooms after class."

Will sighed at the text, turning off his phone and putting it back in his pocket. Will turned back to face the bring of the class.

"Everything okay?"

Will turned his head at Theo's words. He gave him a small smile and modded his head. "Uh... Yeah. This is my first time taking an AP." He said and Theo pursed his lips, nodding and turning back to the front of the class.

...

When Ap Bio ended, Will grabbed Theo's arm and dragged him to the locker room. Theo didn't ask many questions, but the ones he did ask were answered with one or two word responses from Will.

When they got to the locker room, Scott and Stiles were already there. Will didn't know how Scott got there so fast considering they came from the same class, but he ignored the question in his head, letting go of Theo and standing beside Scott and Stiles.

"How did you get bit?" Stiles asked and Theo's face scrunched, his head tilting in confusion slightly at Stiles' question. "What?" He asked and Stiles shrugged annoyedly, shaking his head. "How did you get bit? What's your story?"

Theo's jaw slacked at the question, looking between Stiles, Scott and Will before turning back to Stiles before he sighed. "I was skating in a neighbor's empty pool, trying to do a handplant. Nobody was home. I'm not that good of a skateboarder, but I guess I was feeling pretty determined because I completely lost track of time. I didn't even realize that it was night until the yard lights came on. On my last try I went down and hit hard. Really hard. I was sitting there at the bottom of the pool and I realized something. I never heard the board come back down."

Theo took in a deep breath, his eyes tearing up. "It came at me fast. I barely had a chance to turn around before it bit me." Theo said before pointing at his side. "Right here."

"It wasn't an accident. He wanted to turn you." Scott said, making Will and Stiles nod.

"Right. So why aren't you part of his pack then? Why didn't he come back for you?" Stiles asked, leaning back into the lockers behind him. Theo turned to the Stilinski boy, shaking his head sadly. "Because by the time of my first full moon, he was dead."

Will's brows furrowed at Theo's response. "How did you know that?" He asked quietly, but Theo still heard him. "I met another one of his pack a couple weeks later. He told me the Alpha that bit me was killed by two of his own Betas. They were twins." Theo said and Will immediately turned to Stiles who was already looking at him with wide eyes.

Theo, who was now catching onto Scott's hesitance to believe him, shook his head and took another step towards the boy. "Scott, listen to my pulse. I'm telling the truth." Theo said and Stiles squinted at Theo. "Right. Or you just know how to steady your heart rate while you're lying your ass off."

"Why would I lie?" Theo laughed out and Stiles scoffed, taking another step towards Theo. "Because maybe you're not who you say you are." Stiles immediately snapped back.

Theo gave Stiles a shocked look, offended by his words before turning to Scott beside him. "Okay. I remember this day in the fourth grade where I ended up in the nurse's office with an asthma attack. A bad one. I was waiting to be taken to the ER. You were waiting for the Principal. You told me what would happen when you go to the ER for asthma."

Wills eyes flickered to Scott for a moment. He watched Scott's eyes soften as he started to remember the story. Will turned back to Theo who was still telling his story.  "How they give you oxygen, an IV of prednisone. You made it sound easy. Like everything would be okay. I've been by myself this whole time. Everybody knows that lone wolves, they don't make it on their own."

Theo looked around at the three boys. Scott seemed pretty convinced by Theo's story and Will looked like he was leaning towards Scott's idea too. Stiles on the other hand, continued to give Theo death glares.

Theo ignored Stiles, looking between Will and Scott with small smiles. "I swear I'm that same kid from fourth grade. I was hoping you are too." Theo said as the bell rang.

Theo grabbed his bag and started to walk out of the gym, turning to the boys with a smile. "I better not be late for class. You're not the only ones I need to make a good impression on."

Once Theo was gone, Will turned around to Stiles, his face giving Stiles the idea that Will believed Theo. Stiles scoffed, looking away from Will. "No. Don't give me that look." Stiles groaned. He turned to Scott only to see him holding the same look.

"We have to give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes." Scott tried to reason and Stiles groaned, shaking his head. "Not this time. All right. I'm right. There's something off about him. I can feel it."

Will grabbed his backpack and threw it over his shoulder. He turned to Stiles gave gave him a kiss on the cheek before heading out of the locker rooms and towards his next class.

...

Will stood at one of the aisle in the library. He was looking at books about France after his parents brought up that they all might go to Paris to visit Stephanie and Isaac.He found a book that looked really interesting and grabbed it.

He was flipping through the pages when suddenly, the lights in the library flickered before turning off completely. Will looked up with furrowed brows he looked to the kid that was next to him in the aisle, but he had vanished.

The sound of machines whirling caught Wills attention. They were getting louder as the sound of heavy breathing like Darth Vader started to follow it. He went to run, but he was frozen.

Will watched as three masked men in suits started to walk towards him. Will felt his heartbeat everywhere, absolutely terrified.

When Will felt a hand on his shoulder, he gasped. He turned around on saw Stiles looking at him in confusion. Wills eyes were wide as he looked around the library. The lights were back on, the boy beside him was back, and the masked men had disappeared.

"Will, come on. I've got something to show you guys." Stiles said, figuring Wills fright was just from him coming up behind Will. Stiles pulled Will to lead him to a table Scott, Kira, and Malia were at as Will put the book he was looking at back on the shelf. Not noticing the lind claw marks across the cover done by Will.

When they got to the table, Scott's brows raised, an amused smile on his face as he looked at Stiles. "So you found something?" Scott asked and Stiles nodded, putting two pieces of paper on the table.

"Another signature." He said before pointing at an old looking paper. "This is Theo's dad's signature on a speeding ticket from eight years ago." He explained before pointing at the new looking paper. "And this is his dad's signature on a transfer form to Beacon Hills High School from just a few days ago."

"How did you get his transfer form?" Kira asked, ignoring the two signatures in front of her to look up at Stiles. Will turned to Stiles with furrowed brows. "Did you break into the Administration Office?" Will asked and Stiles scoffed.

"No, I did not break into the Administration Office." Stiles tried to defend before he saw all four eyes on him. Stiles sighed, looking back down to the signatures. "Okay, I might have broken into the Administration Office. Can we just focus on the signatures, please? They're different."

Malia tiled her head and squinted at the signatures, as if it'd help her see what Stiles was talking about. "They're sort of different." Malia muttered and Stiles looked to Malia, shaking his head. "They're completely different. Come on. Look. The garlands don't match, the undulations of the sinuous stroke are totally off. And look, look at this. Perfect example of the Criminal Tremor."

Will laughed at how in the zone Stiles was, making the won't turn to him. "Stiles, you could pull up signatures of mine and they don't match. I don't even sign my name I just scribble. This guy could just be doing something like that." Will laughed out and Stiles opened and closed his mouth in shock at Wills words about his signature.

"Plus, no one's done anything wrong." Scott tried to reason and Stiles leaned closer to the table so only they could hear his next sentence. "If Theo's parents are both psychotic killers then obviously, we should not trust him, right?"

Will pinched the bridge if his nose at Stiles' words as Malia say up straighter. "My parents are Peter and the Desert Wolf." Malia said and Stiles froze. After a couple seconds he cleared his throat and straightened up as well.

"Okay... It's fine. You know what? Will and I will figure it out myself. Right? I don't need you or you or you." Stiles said, wrapping an arm around Will.

Will turned to Stiles with sad eyes and a lopsided smile. "I don't feel good Stiles. I really think I should just head home." Will mumbled, his head was pounding and his heart was still racing, not knowing what had just happened a couple minutes prior.

Stiles turned to Will and removed his arm from around him, scoffing. "Fine. I don't need anyone." Stiles yelled as he walked out of the library, making a few heads turn to him.
