She couldn't believe they were moving again. Blair Argent loved San Francisco, she adored the streets, the sunset views but the life of a daughter of a firearms dealer had its cons, and moving around a lot was definitely one of them. Blair wasn't the only one who hated this change, her twin sister, Allison hated it too. They had just started getting comfortable, which was a mistake on their part.
"Still don't understand why dad couldn't just go out of town on a business trip instead of moving all of us." Blair complained to her mother as she sat in the backseat of the car with her arms crossed. Allison had shotgunned the front seat. "Hunny, your father is a highly respected private security consultant and a federally licensed firearms dealer. It's not exactly a nine-to-five office job..." Victoria Argent trailed off. Allison was about to reply but mother cut her off before she could even start.
"The hours are always going to be like that." she said. "We get it. It's just— it's kind of weird when he takes off in the middle of the night, rushing out with duffel bags full of automatic weapons." Blair replied as she leaned forward to talk to her mother when Allison suddenly screamed. "Mom, look out!" Allison exclaimed, causing her mother to swerve. "Oh!" Victoria yelled out as she managed to get the car stable again.
"You almost killed him!" Allison gasped as she looked at her mother as Blair tried to calm her heart rate down. "Okay, well, we have to go back." Allison said, making her sister look at her like she's crazy. "Go back?" her mother scoffed, as she glanced at one of her daughters. "What if he's hurt?" Allison said, hoping her mother would turn around but she didn't. "Mom, turn around!" Allison demanded, making her mother look at her, but didn't stop the car. "Mom–" Allison said but was cut off by her mother. "Allison..." She trailed off, before stopping the car as Allison got out, Blair following her as the twins searched the road for the person they almost hit.
"Allison! Blair!" She called out after a while, wanting to get to their new house and get some sleep but the twins didn't listen, causing her to yell out again. "Allison! Blair!" she yelled, causing the twins to snap their heads to her as she nodded to the car. "All right, that's enough. Back in the car." their mother said, as she and the twins walked back to the car.

Scott and Stiles entered their first period English class and took their seats. "As you all know, there indeed was a body found in the woods last night." Kendra Rosewell says as she turns to her class. Scott grins and looks over at Stiles, who is in the one desk down in the column next to him and who winks at him knowingly. "And I am sure your eager little minds are coming up with various macabre scenarios as to what happened. But I am here to tell you that the police have a suspect in custody, which means you can give your undivided attention to the syllabus, which is on your desk outlining this semester." she continued with a smile as she began teaching.
Scott and Stiles once again share an unexcited look before suddenly, Scott hears a phone ring so loudly that he believes it to be right next to him. However, when he looks around the room, he sees no one else reacting to the noise, causing him to frown in confusion. Eventually, the sound of two female voices draws his attention to the row of windows to his left, through which he sees two young brunette girls outside, but his gaze is set on the one that is sitting on a bench.
Blair and Allison were outside of their new school, Beacon Hills High School when their mother called Allison, to make sure the girls had everything. "Mom, three calls on our first day is a little overdoing it." Allison said playfully as Blair laughed softly as she paced a bit in nervousness. "Everything except a pen." Allison said, looking to her to silently ask her if she had an extra one but she shook her head and mouthed 'sorry' "Oh, my God, I didn't actually forget a pen." She said as she sighed before she saw the vice principal of the school come out to greet them. "Okay, okay. we gotta go, we love you." She said as she hung up and put her phone away.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." The vice principal apologized as he led the girls into the school. "So you were saying San Francisco isn't where you grew up?" The Vice principal asked the twins. "No, but we lived there for more than a year, which is unusual in our family." Allison spoke up, knowing her sister won't. In the classroom, Scott was still looking panicked as he tracked the girls with his eyes until both brunettes walked into the school and through the hallway with the vice principal. "Well, hopefully Beacon Hills will be your last stop for a while." The vice principal says as she walks Allison and Blair into the classroom, where he introduces them to the other students. "Class, these are our new students, Allison and Blair Argent, please do your best to make them feel welcome." he says before leaving.
Allison looks nervous, smiles weakly before finding the only open seat in the class, which just happens to be the seat behind Scott and to the right of Stiles while Blair sits in front of Stiles making quick eye contact as she sends him a smile. Scott smiles at Allison awkwardly as she sits down. Scott, having heard her conversation with her mother earlier, knows that she forgot a pen and offers her one of his own. Allison looks surprised by the gesture, but smiles at him gratefully
"Thanks." she says with a small smile as Scott smiles back at her before turning back around in his seat so she can't see him blush. The English teacher then picks up where he left off as Allison looks confused by this interaction. "We'll begin with Kafka's Metamorphosis on page one-thirty-three." Kendra Rosewell said to her class.
Halfway through their English class, Blair could feel eyes on her so she discreetly turned around, not wanting to be caught in class. When she turns her head, she locks eyes with the boy who has the buzzcut, who smiles awkwardly and gives a nervous wave, making Blair smile back at him before turning around, hoping he didn't see her blush.

Scott catches Allison's eye from across the hallways as Allison smiles at him as Lydia approaches Allison and Blair but Scott continues to watch them from afar and eavesdrop on them with his new enhanced hearing as Stiles and their friend Harley join him by his own locker as Blair and Stiles lock eyes, her smiling at him. "Those jackets are absolutely killer. Where'd you guys get them?" Lydia asked as she looked between the Argent Twins. "Our mom was a buyer for a boutique back in San Francisco." Blair responds.
"And you two are my new best friends." Lydia declares making Blair smile, glad she has made a friend when a boy suddenly joins them, Lydia greets him warmly as he puts his arm around her waist, though it makes the two girls feel uncomfortable. "Heyyy." he greeted as he smiled at Lydia. "Hey, Jackson." She replies with a wide smile as they share a kiss, Meanwhile, across the hall, Harley looks at Scott and Stiles, who is also watching the scene go down, though Scott is too busy listening to Allison, Blair, Lydia, and Jackson's conversation to hear her.
"Can someone tell me how the new girls are here all of five minutes, and she's already hanging out with Lydia's clique?" Harley asked, frustrated and even though Harley was obviously being facetious, Stiles replied with a genuine answer. "Because their hot." Stiles says as his gaze on the group, mostly on Blair as Harley gives him a look, but Stiles still doesn't get it and shrugs before finishing his thought. "Beautiful people herd together." he added but Scott is so distracted by listening to Allison, Blair, Lydia and Jackson conversation that he doesn't even react to Harley and Stiles' argument.
"So, this weekend, there's a party." Lydia states, making Blair and Allison share a look. "A party?" Allison asked. "Yeah, Friday night, you two should come." Jackson suggested as he looked from Allison to Blair. "Uh, we can't. It's family night this Friday. Thanks for asking." Allison said. Lydia and Jackson both look disappointed by the response Allison gave them. "You sure? Everyone's going after the scrimmage." Jackson replied, trying to get them to come to the party.
"You mean like football?" Blair and Allison asked in sync, not really caring if it freaked people out. Jackson laughs, making them confused. "Football's a joke in Beacon. The sport here is lacrosse, we've won the state championship for the past three years." Jackson boosted with a smug smile as Lydia looks at Jackson with a loving expression as she ruffles his hair. "Because of a certain team captain." Lydia compliments Jackson, making him smirk.
"Well, we have practice in a few minutes. That is, if you don't have anywhere else..." he trailed off, hoping they'd come to practice. Allison cuts him off in an attempt to talk her way out of it. "Well, we were going to-" Allison said but was cut off by Lydia. "Perfect! You're coming." she says as she grabs Allison and Blair by their hands and drags them to the lacrosse field.
⎯⎯⎯⎯
Once the three girls made it to the field and they sat on top of the bleachers as the team started getting ready. "Who is that?" Allison asks, making Blair look at where her sister was looking, she notices it is the guy who gave her the pen. Lydia followed her to where she was looking which was Scott in goal, making her furrowed her brows. "Him? I'm not sure who he is. Why?" Lydia asks while Allison just smiles shyly. "He's in my English class." She replied.
Blair looked back at the field as the assistant coach blew his whistle and Scott flinched while trying to cover his ears. While being distracted, a ball hits him right in front of his helmet with a lot of force that he gets knocked onto the ground. Coach Jackson, and the rest of the team start laughing and making fun of him. "Hey, way to catch your face, McCall!" the coach yelled. But, determined to prove himself to the team, Scott stands to his feet while the next player tosses the ball towards him and Scott catches it easily even though he's stunned that he was able to do so. "Yeah!" Stiles cheers for his friend.
All the next shots are again caught by Scott. Coach Finstock simply stares at Scott with his mouth gape open as though he can't believe it. Allison smiles when she sees how good he is and Lydia is also very clearly impressed. "He seems like he's pretty good." Alison said. "Yeah, very good." Lydia agreed.
Jackson pushed himself to the start of the line, while glaring at Scott. The Assistant Coach tosses the ball up towards Jackson and he leaps forward to catch the ball and spin around to shoot it into the goal, but Scott moves with faster. The ball lands right in the pocket of the goalie stick. Stiles lets out a cheer, jumping up off the bench. Lydia stood up to give a cheer causing Jackson to throw a look at Lydia. She returns his glare with a sly smile. Grinning, Scott gives the goalie stick a whirl, spinning it.
⎯⎯⎯⎯
Blair and Allison had arrived at the party, and once Allison had met up with Scott, Blair decided to get a drink. Despite wanting to come and meet people, Blair was not a party person, she never really stood out enough to go to parties. Blair was walking around when she bumped into someone. "Oh god, I'm so sorry!" She apologized and once she looked up she noticed it was the guy from her English class. "It's fine!" Stiles replied as he watched Blair run a hand through her hair, nervous. "Not a party person?" he asked, causing Blair to look at him and shake her head. "Not really, i'm more a stay-home and watch movies person," She admitted with a shy smile as Stiles sent one back when suddenly Scott walked through the entrance and out of the house, making Stiles yell a goodbye as he followed his friend.
Blair saw Allison following them outside, hoping to catch Scott, she followed after her sister. Allison, who was both confused and hurt, watches him get into the car and drive off without another word. "I'm sure he's okay, he was probably nervous, Ali." Blair said as she side hugged her sister just as they heard their name being called out.
"Allison. Blair." a guy greeted them, making the twins cautions as the two of them turn around to see Derek standing behind them with a charming smile. "I'm a friend of Scott's." He introduced as Allison looks back at the road that Scott took to get home before turning back toward Derek, who takes another step toward her and Blair, who was holding her sister's hand in an iron grip. "My name's Derek." he said as she flashed them another charming smile.

At The Argent house, their mother, Victoria Argent, opens the front door to find an overwhelmed boy on the doorstep who wastes no time trying to figure out what is going on with Allison and Blair. "Hi, Mrs. Argent. Um-You have no idea who I am. I'm a friend of your daughter's. Uhhh, look, this is gonna sound kind of crazy, um...really crazy, actually. You know what? Crazy doesn't even describe..." he says as Victoria looks at Stiles as though he's stupid before turning and shouting up the staircase. "Allison! Blair! It's for you two." she yells to her daughters. The twins walked onto the balcony at the top of the staircase, looking fine. Stiles looks flabbergasted by the sight of them. They look confused as to why he looks so panicked.
⎯⎯⎯⎯
After school, Scott is waiting outside the front entrance to the school for Allison so that he can apologize to her, when he finally sees her leave the school and head toward the parking lot, he approaches her. "So what happened? You left me stranded at the party." Allison said as she looked at Scott. "Yeah, I-I know, I know. I'm really sorry, I am. But you're gonna have to trust that I had a really good reason." Scott stuttered out, trying to seem calm.
"Did you get sick?" Allison asked, as she adjusted her bag on her shoulder, causing Scott to sigh at the reminder of what happened on Friday. "I definitely had an attack of something." Scott admitted, sheepishly. "Am I gonna get an explanation?" she asked. Scott puts on his best innocent smile. "Can you just find it in your heart to trust me on this one?" Scott asked softly, as Allison gave a hesitant Smile as Blair walked up to them.
"Am I gonna regret this?" Allison asked as Blair looped their arms together as she gave Scott a small smile, she knew her sister was smitten so she decided to get along with him, for her sister. Scott, smiling, shrugs sheepishly
"Probably. So is that a 'yes' on a second chance?" Scott asked, hopefully as Allison let a smile slip on her face. "Definitely yes." Allison told him which caused his smile to widen as Blair raised a teasing eyebrow at her sister.
Scott and Allison smile at each other for a moment until they're interrupted by a car horn beeping near them. When Allison looks up to find the source of the noise, she sees a familiar burgundy SUV and prepares to leave with her sister. "That's our dad. We better go." Allison said as Blair dragged her to the car, wanting to get home.
Scott turns toward the school to go to lacrosse practice when he catches a scent that he recognizes and turns back around and looks toward the SUV, he sees that Allison and Blair's father was one of the hunters who shot him nights earlier. The girl's father catches Scott staring at them as the teen is stunned into speechlessness, waves at them awkwardly before watching them pull away to head home, he soon comes to the realization that the girl he wants to date and her sister is the daughter of a Werewolf Hunter.
