BEACON HILLS PRESERVE:

[It is a dark and foggy night as several Beacon County Sheriff's Department deputies pull up to the Beacon Hills Preserve in their police cruisers. At least a dozen officers get out of their vehicles, some with K9 unit dogs who are barking and whimpering amongst the radio chatter. Flashlights in hand, the deputies begin their search in the woods]

"That doesn't look good"

MCCALL HOUSE;

[Scott McCall is sitting on his bed in his room, wearing only a pair of gym shorts, as he re-threads the laces on his lacrosse stick. Once he's determined that the net on his stick is secure and loose enough, he tosses the stick on his bed before walking toward the bathroom door, where he has a bar mounted on the lintel. After doing a series of chin-ups, Scott goes into the bathroom, where he brushes his teeth and washes his face before bed]

The girls (and some guys) stare at the screen with a dreamy look on their faces.

"Woah" Ginny and Blaise say.

"Ginny!" Harry exclaims.

"Blaise!" Theo exclaims.

[Suddenly, Scott hears a noise outside and pauses to listen for danger. The scene cuts to the front porch, where Scott, now in a red hoodie, walks outside with a wooden baseball bat in hand as he investigates what is causing the noise. Suddenly, a figure appears hanging from the roof, and Scott yelps in terror, almost hitting the person in the face with his bat until he realizes that it is Stiles Stilinski, his best friend, who is yelping just as loudly]

"Why the hell were you on the roof"

"Because it's fun"

SCOTT & STILES:[simultaneously] AHH! AHHH! AHHHH!

"Idiots" Aurora mutters under her breath.

Melissa and Noah shake their heads tiredly at the screen.

[Scott huffs in frustration and annoyance before lowering his bat]

SCOTT: Stiles, what the hell are you doing?!

[Stiles looks just as exasperated as Scott as he eyes the bat in his best friend's hands]

STILES: You weren't answering your phone! Why do you have a bat?

SCOTT: [annoyed] I thought you were a predator!

"Yeah because at that time, predators were just lining up to get to you" Aurora says sarcastically.

STILES: A pre... Wha?

[Stiles looks at Scott, clearly appalled by the implication, before scoffing and changing the subject to why he's there]

STILES: Look, I know it's late, but you gotta hear this. I saw my dad leave twenty minutes ago. Dispatch called-- they're bringing in every officer from the Beacon Department, and even state police.

"You need to stop listening to my phone calls" Noah says to which Stiles sheepishly smiles at him.

SCOTT: [frowns] For what?

[Stiles has difficulty concealing his glee regarding his answer]

STILES: Two joggers found a body in the woods.

[Reaching up to pull himself free of the trellis, Stiles lands on his feet in front of Scott, who still looks confused]

"Why are you so excited about that" Lily asks in a judgy tone.

SCOTT: What, a dead body?

[Stiles reaches up and leans on the railing to look at Scott at eye-level with a sarcastic expression]

"What did you think it was?"

STILES: No, a body of water.
[Stiles rolls his eyes]

STILES: Yes, dumbass, a dead body!

[Scott looks unnerved about this news as Stiles climbs over the railing to join him on the porch]

SCOTT: You mean, like, murdered?

STILES: Nobody knows yet. Just that it was a girl, probably in her twenties.

Derek looks down at that and Aurora intertwines their hands together and he sends her a greatful smile, keeping her close to him.

SCOTT: [frowns] Hold on, if they found the body, then what are they looking for?

[Stiles becomes overwhelmed with glee at the drama of this situation as he finishes the story]

STILES: That's the best part-- they only found half.
[Stiles' tone of voice changes, making it clear that Scott doesn't have a say in what happens next]

"Oh my god"

STILES: We're going.

They both turn to Stiles' jeep where Aurora is in the passenger seat looking pissed.

"I can't believe you dragged me all the way out there" Aurora says as she smacks the back of Stiles' head.

"Ow!" Stiles exclaims and Harry looks over at them in jealousy.

"Lets go guys, some people have more important things to do!" Aurora yells and the two boys run to thw jeep.

BEACON HILLS PRESERVE;

[The two pull into the preserve in Stiles' teal blue Jeep, illuminating the sign warning against entry after dark with the Jeep's headlights. Stiles gets out with a flashlight in hand. Scott and Aurora follow, hurrying to keep up with him as the walk in the dark woods]

SCOTT: We're seriously doing this?

STILES: You're the one always bitching that nothing ever happens in this town.

SCOTT: I was trying to get a good night's sleep before practice tomorrow.

STILES: [snidely] Right, 'cause sitting on the bench is such a grueling effort.

SCOTT: No, because I'm playing this year. In fact, I'm making first line.

[Stiles and Aurora looks back at Scott in disbelief]

STILES: Hey, that's the spirit!

Aurora: Everyone should have a dream, even a pathetically unrealistic one.

"You guys are just so supportive" Scott says sarcastically.

[The three walk in silence for a beat before Scott speaks up in the same sarcastic tone Stiles used]

SCOTT: Just out of curiosity, which half of the body are we looking for?

[Stiles looks somewhat sheepish in response to this question]

STILES: Huh! I didn't even think about that.

SCOTT: And, uh... what if whoever killed the body is still out here?

STILES: [embarrassed] Also something I didn't think about.

Aurora: Wonderful, we're going to die in the woods.

"You don't think about anything" Aurora says and smacks the back of Stiles' head again.

"What is this, abuse Stiles day???"

"That's everyday"

"Wha - dad she keeps hitting me!" Stiles complains.

"Good job sweetheart"

"Ha!" Aurora says sticking her tounge out at Stiles.

[Scott rolls his eyes in amusement as the the start to hike up a hill]

SCOTT: It's comforting to know you've planned this out with your usual attention to detail.

STILES: I know.

[Scott's breathing starts to become rapid, shallow, and wheezy as the two continue up the hill, with Scott struggling to keep up with Stiles' quick pace]

SCOTT: [gasping] Maybe the severe asthmatic should be the one holding the flashlight, huh?

[Scott leans his back against a nearby tree as he pulls his inhaler out of his pocket. Aurora stops next to him in concern. However, when Stiles keeps pushing on, Scott continues to make his way up the hill after him. When they see a handful of people ahead of them waving flashlights around as part of the search, Stiles, Aurora and Scott dive behind a large fallen tree branch as they plan their next move, turning off the flashlight so they don't attract attention. Unfortunately for them both, Stiles' impatience eventually wins out, and he whispers back to Scott and Aurora as he jumps up and runs toward the action]

"You could've just waited"

SCOTT: Wait!

STILES: Come on!

[Scott, still wheezing, and Aurora tries to stop Stiles, to no avail]

SCOTT: Stiles! Wait up!

[Scott quickly takes a hit from his inhaler before scrambling to catch up with him. They tries their best to call after their best friend without also alerting anyone else that they are there]

Aurora: Stiles! Stiles!

[Stiles finally hears the last attempt to call his name, but the split second of distraction caused the nearby K9 officer to start barking at him, scaring him so much he falls backwards onto the ground. The deputy with the search dog immediately points his flashlight at Stiles as he tries to recover from the shock]

DEPUTY: Hold it right there!

"I don't really know what you were thinking was gonna happen" Lydia says.

[Stiles puts his hands up while Scott, several meters behind him, hides behind a nearby tree, pressing his back to it and closing his eyes as though it will keep him from being seen. And Aurora does the same. Just then, another male voice is heard-- it is Noah Stilinski, Stiles and Aurora's father and the Sheriff of Beacon County]

STILINSKI: Hang on, hang on...

[Stiles stands to his feet, shielding his eyes from the bright flashlight held toward him by the deputy]

STILINSKI: [sighs] This little delinquent belongs to me

STILES: Dad, how are you doing?

[Stilinski looks at Stiles with a mix of frustration, exasperation, and exhaustion]

Everyone laughs at that.

STILINSKI: So, do you, uh, listen in to all of my phone calls?

[Stiles laughs sheepishly]

"Yes"

STILES: No. Heh...

[Stilinski gives Stiles a look, and Stiles finishes his sentence]

STILES: ...Not the boring ones.

[Stilinski just sighs and nods as though he's accepted this truth about his son before looking around the surrounding area]

STILINSKI: Now, where are your usual partners in crime.

[Stiles immediately tries to play dumb as it starts to rain]

STILES: Who, Scott?, Scott's home. He said he wanted to get a good night's sleep for first day back at school tomorrow. And Aurora was taking a shower when I left.

"I was before you threatned to break down the door if I didnt hurry up and go to the woods with you" Aurora says as she goes to hit Stiles away but this time he swats her hand away.

"Stop hitting me!"

[Stilinski looks at Stiles in disbelief as he continues to lie]

STILES: It's just me... In the woods... Alone...

[It is obvious that Stilinski doesn't buy what Stiles is saying, and he lifts his flashlight and tries to get a look around to find Scott and Aurora who are still hiding behind the trees]

STILINSKI: Scott, you out there? Aurora, are you there?

[After a moment, when Scott or Aurora doesn't materialize in front of him, Stilinski reluctantly determines that Scott and Aurora aren't with Stiles after all. He then sighs before grabbing Stiles roughly by the back of the neck and steering him toward the entrance to the preserve]

STILINSKI: Well, young man, I'm gonna walk you back to your car... And then you and I are gonna have a conversation about something called "invasion of privacy."

[As Stiles and the Sheriff leave, closes his eyes and hits the back of his head on the tree, mouthing "Damn!" under his breath when he realizes that by hiding himself, he lost his way home. Scott and Aurora waits until the coast is clear before heading in the opposite direction through the woods, following the same path that they and Stiles took to get there]

Scott: Come on Aura

Aurora: I'm gonna kill Stiles when I get home.

"That would be funny to watch" Derek says.

"You wouldn't know humor if it slapped you in the face" Stiles says.

[Thunder and lightning flickers overhead as Scott and Aurora carefully make their way back, Scott pulls up the hood to his sweatshirt to try to keep his head dry from the steady rain. It's evident that they're unnerved by the sounds of the forest animals around him, but when they makes it to a foggy clearing, they become unnerved by the fact that it falls totally silent. He pulls his inhaler out of his hoodie once again and shakes it, intending to take another hit when suddenly, a herd of deer begin frantically stampeding toward them, trampling them over and causing Scott's inhaler to fly several meters away]

"What the fuck!"

Aurora: Oh my god, what the actual fuck

[Once the deer have cleared out, Scott and Aurora, still in shock, gets to their feet]

Aurora: Are you ok? [While checking if Scott has any injuries]

"You're such a mom" Stiles teases.

"Well someone has to make sure you two idiots don't end up dying"

Scott: I'm fine, Aura. Are you ok?

Aurora just nods.

[Scott and Auroracstart looking for his inhaler using his cell phone as a light source. He's about to search through a pile of dead leaves when he's startled when he instead uncovers the top half of the body that Stiles had told him about-- young, white, with dark hair and very clearly bisected at the waist. The shock of this sight stuns him so badly that he loses his balance and tumbles down the hill behind him and into a ravine]

Everyone in the great hall stares at the screen in horror while the pack all glare at Peter.

Aurora: Scott???

[Aurora also finds the dead body and stumbles back and trips over a twig causing her to fall into the ravine as well]

[Scott and Aurora, shaken, stands to their feet with a groan, Scott used a fallen tree trunk to help himself up due to the aches and pains caused by his fall. Then he helps Aurora stand up. They makes their way quickly through the woods, wanting nothing more than to get out of there as soon as possible, when all of the sudden, a growl heard behind them causes them to freeze in fear. They slowly turns around, only to find a large, bestial wolf with glowing red eyes standing before him]

"Oh my god" evryome yells and the younger students all hide their faces.

While the marauders stare at the screen in shock before turning to Remus.

[Scott and Aurora barely has time to gasp before the beast leaps toward them, causing Scott to fall backward onto the ground and Aurora to fall off to the side with a groan. Though Scott attempts to crawl away, the wolf grabs him by the ankles and pulls him backwards before viciously biting him on his right hip, causing Scott to roar in pain]

SCOTT: AHHHHH!

"Is that a werewolf??"

"No, its a vampire" Aurora responds sarcastically.

[The wolf then turns to Aurora who was trying to stand up then he leaps towards her and bites her on the shoulder]

The Potters and the Lupin-Blacks all stare at the screen in worry for Aurora.

Remus turns away from the screen, he didnt want Aurora to become like him.

[Panicked, Scott and Aurora scramble through the woods, tripping and tumbling all the way as they desperately tries to evade whatever bit them. When Scott and Aurora finally makes it to the nearest road, he stops just before being hit by someone driving a burgundy SUV, who manages to swerve away from them just in the nick of time. Aurora frantically pulls Scott back]

[Finally more or less safe, Scott takes a moment to lift the hem of his hoodie up, examining the large bite wound on his hip with horror as the rain continues to pour down around him. Aurora turns her head to look at the bite on her shoulder. Suddenly, a loud wolf howl is heard from in the woods, which makes Scott and Aurora look at each other in concern.]

"So you guys are werewolves??"

"Yup" Scott responds.

"Well I'm actually only part werewolf, I'm a hybrid" Aurora adds on.

Dumbledore looks at the two of them with an evil glint in his eyes which Chris and Aurora notice.

BEACON HILLS HIGH SCHOOL;

[Scott is riding his mountain bike through the school parking lot, where he jumps off just as he makes it to the bike rack in front of the school. He takes off his helmet and hangs it on the handlebars, adjusting his backpack with his lacrosse stick strapped to the back just as Jackson Whittemore, driving a silver Porsche, pulls into the parking spot next to him. Jackson gets out of the car, hitting Scott in the back with the door before shooting him a nasty look]

JACKSON: Dude! Watch the paint job.

"Boo!" Aurora and Stiles yell at the screen and Stiles even throws a crumpled piece of paper he had in his pocket at the screen.

[Scott looks at him with an offended expression, but before they can interact further, an unseen male student calls out to him]

RANDOM GUY: Yo, Jackson! Let's go, bro.

[Jackson walks away without another word, though he does turn his head back to shoot Scott a glare before he leaves]

[The scene cuts to the front of the school, where Scott has met up with Stiles and Aurora.]

STILES: Okay, let's see this thing.

Scott: Didn't you already see Aura's?

Stiles: No she threatened to kill me if I even got close to it.

Everyone laughs at that.

Aurora: and that still stands.

[Scott lefts up his shirt to show Stiles his bite wound, which is covered with gauze and tape that has a small amount of blood leaking through]

STILES: Ooh!

SCOTT: Yeah...

[Stiles pokes the bandage, which causes Scott to flinch in pain]

"Why would you poke it???!!"

STILES: Whoa!

[Scott pulls his shirt back down as the three resume their walk into the school]

SCOTT: It was too dark to see much, but I'm pretty sure it was a wolf.

[Stiles looks at Scott with disbelief]

STILES: A wolf bit you guys?

SCOTT: Uh-huh.

[Stiles shakes his head and gives him a look that says he thinks Scott and Aurora are being dense]

Aurora: It did Stiles.

STILES: No, not a chance.

SCOTT: [confused] we heard a wolf howling.

[Stiles scoffs and continues to shake his head in response to Scott's argument]

STILES: No, you didn't.

"How do you know what he heard?"

SCOTT: [frustrated] What do you mean, "No, I didn't?" How do you know what I heard?

STILES: Because California doesn't have wolves, okay? Not in, like, sixty years.

[Scott looks surprised by this news as the three stop on the staircase. Stiles turns around to face Scott with a serious expression]

SCOTT: Really?

Aurora: Yes, really. There are no wolves in California. But still it was a wolf.

SCOTT: All right. Well, if you don't believe me about the wolf, then you're definitely not gonna believe me about when we tell you we found the body.

[Stiles' demeanor instantly changes from exasperation to gleeful at the sound of this news]

STILES: You-- are you kidding me?

SCOTT: No, man, I wish. I'm gonna have nightmares for a month.

Aurora: It was scary but it was cool

Everyone turns to Aurora with a questioning look and she sheepishly smiles and sinks down in her seat.

STILES: Oh, god, that is freakin' awesome. I mean, this is seriously gonna be the best thing that's happened to this town since--
[Stiles loses his train of thought when he sees Lydia Martin, Queen Bee of Beacon Hills High School, walking up the stairs toward the school, and abandons his train of thought in favor of trying to catch her attention]

STILES: --Since the birth of Lydia Martin. Hey, Lydia! You look--

[Lydia continues to walk right past Stiles, completely oblivious to the fact that he was talking to her, though she does drag Aurora away with her.]

"You need to stop dragging me around everywhere" Aurora says.

"No, please continue, it's really funny to watch" Stiles says and Aurora hits him on the arm.

STILES: --Like you're gonna ignore me...

Lydia winces at the screen, she hated how she used to act.

[Stiles looks back at Scott with an irritable expression]

STILES: You're the cause of this, you know.

[Scott rolls his eyes in response to this comment]

SCOTT: Uh-huh.

STILES: Draggin' me down to your nerd depths. I'm a nerd by association. I've been Scarlet-nerded by you.

"Oh please, you're more of a nerd than Scott"

ENGLISH CLASS;

[Scott, Aurora, and Stiles enter their first period English class and take their seats, where the teacher, Mr. Curtis, immediately begins the lecture without introduction]

MR. CURTIS: As you all know, there indeed was a body found in the woods last night.

[Scott grins and looks over at Stiles, who is in the desk one row and one column behind him and who winks at him knowingly. While Aurora is already starting to doze off.]

Everyone laughs at Aurora's antics.

MR. CURTIS: 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.

[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. It seems that Aurora also hears the phone ring and she flinces back unexpectedly. Scott and Aurora share a look]

"So you guys have like super hearing?"

"Do you have that" Sirius whispers to Remus who shakes his head no. Aurora glances at them with confusion.

Eventually, the sound of a female voice draws their attention to the row of windows to their left, through which they sees a young brunette woman sitting on a bench at the bottom of the stairs to the front entrance to the school. She has just answered the phone, which she has braced between her ear and her shoulder so she can dig through her gray canvas bag. The fact that they can hear her speaking like she's sitting right in front of him only makes them more confused]

"That must be so confusing"

ALLISON: Mom, three calls on my first day is a little overdoing it.

[Her mother says something unintelligible on the other end of the line]

ALLISON: Everything except a pen. Oh, my God, I didn't actually forget a pen. Okay, okay. I gotta go. Love ya.

[Allison hangs up and puts her phone away. Scott and Aurora continue to eavesdrop as the vice principal of the school comes out to greet her]

VICE PRINCIPAL: Sorry to keep you waiting. So you were saying San Francisco isn't where you grew up?

ALLISON: No, but we lived there for more than a year, which is unusual in my family.

[Scott, still looking alarmed and Aurora looks confused, they tracks Allison with their eyes until she is walked into the school and through the hallway by the vice principal]

"I thought I was going crazy"

"You are crazy" Stiles responds to Aurora while Derek nods in agreement but quickly shakes his head when Aurora looks at him.

VICE PRINCIPAL: Well, hopefully Beacon Hills will be your last stop for a while.

[The vice principal walks Allison into the classroom, where he introduces her to the other students]

VICE PRINCIPAL: Class, this is our new student, Allison Argent. Please do your best to make her feel welcome.

[Allison, who 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, and the left of aurora, the latter of whom smiles at her 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]

ALLISON: Thanks.

"I thought you were a mind reader" Allison says and Scott sheepishly smiles at her while Chris rolls his eyes at the pair.

[Scott smiles back at her in a way that indicates that he is starting to fall for her already 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]

[Aurora smiles knowingly at the pair]

TEACHER: We'll begin with Kafka's Metamorphosis on page one-thirty-three.

[After class ends, the students file out and go to their lockers. Scott's locker is across the hallway and several meters down from Allison's, and when Scott catches her eye, Allison smiles at him. Just then, Lydia and Aurora approache Allison and strikes up a conversation, and Scott continues to watch them from afar and eavesdrop on them with his newly-enhanced hearing as Stiles and their friend Harley join him by his own locker]

LYDIA: That jacket is absolutely killer. Where'd you get it?

ALLISON: My mom was a buyer for a boutique back in San Francisco.

LYDIA: And you are my new best friend.

"Rude" Aurora pouts.

Aurora: Hey!

Lydia: Sorry you're my new second best friend.

[Just then, Jackson, Lydia's boyfriend, joins them as well. Lydia greets him warmly as he puts his arm around her waist, though it makes Allison feel uncomfortable]

JACKSON: Heyyy.

LYDIA: Hey, Jackson.

[Jackson and Lydia share a kiss and Aurora fake gags and Allison laughs silently at that]

Lydia cringes at the screen.

Meanwhile, across the hall, Harley, who is also watching the scene go down in front of them, looks at Scott and Stiles incredulously, though Scott is too busy listening to Allison, Aurora, Lydia, and Jackson's conversation to hear her]

HARLEY: Can someone tell me how New Girl is here all of five minutes, and she's already hanging out with Lydia's clique?

[Though Harley was obviously being facetious, Stiles replies with a genuine answer]

STILES: Because she's hot.

[Harley gives him a look, but Stiles still doesn't get it and shrugs before finishing his thought]

STILES: Beautiful people herd together.

"True"

[Aurora's corner of her mouth quirkes up slightly in amusement, having heard their conversation]

[Scott is so distracted by listening to Allison, Aurora, Lydia and Jackson talk that he doesn't even react to Harley and Stiles' argument]

LYDIA: So, this weekend, there's a party.

ALLISON: A party?

JACKSON: Yeah, Friday night. You should come.

Aurora: I don't think she wants to be in the same room as you Jackson

[Allison looks slightly bashful when she replies]

ALLISON: Uh, I can't. It's family night this Friday. Thanks for asking.

"Liar!"

[Lydia and Jackson both look disappointed by this response while Aurora smiles in amusement. Meanwhile, Harley and Stiles have a very animated debate going on that cannot be heard because the entirety of Scott's attention is being focused on Allison]

JACKSON: You sure? Everyone's going after the scrimmage.

ALLISON: You mean like football?

"Whats football?"

"How do you guys not know that?"

[Jackson laughs as though she was kidding]

JACKSON: Football's a joke in Beacon. The sport here is lacrosse. We've won the state championship for the past three years.

[Lydia looks at Jackson with a loving expression as she ruffles his hair]

LYDIA: Because of a certain team captain...

[Jackson smirks smugly at the compliment]

"Oh god" Lydia groans at her past self.

JACKSON: Well, we have practice in a few minutes. That is, if you don't have anywhere else--

[Allison cuts him off in an attempt to talk her way out of it, only to be interrupted herself by Lydia, who makes the decision for her]

ALLISON: Well, I was going to--

LYDIA: Perfect! You're coming.

[Lydia grabs Allison and Lydia by the hand and drags her to the lacrosse field, with Allison giving Scott one last look before she goes]

LACROSSE FIELD;

[The lacrosse team has gathered on the lacrosse field, where the players are warming up by passing the ball back and forth as other students congregate in the bleachers to watch the team play. Scott and Stiles are in the middle of a conversation as they quickly jog toward the field. In a change in dynamics from the previous night, it is now Stiles who is out of breath and trying to keep up with Scott, who seems unfazed by the exertion]

STILES: But if you play, I'll have no one to talk to on the bench. Are you really gonna do that to your best friend?

"Shouldn't you be encouraging him?"

[It's clear by Scott's tone of voice that, while he feels bad for that side effect of potentially making first line, he's not going to be talked out of trying out]

SCOTT: I can't sit out again. My whole life is sitting on the sidelines.

Aurora: Hey idiots

Both Scott and Stiles jump in surprise seeing Aurora behind them.

"You always scare us!"

[Scott drops his bag near the bench]

SCOTT: This season, I make first line.

[Scott is distracted by the sight of Allison and Lydia sitting down in the bleachers so they can watch the team play. Allison smiles at him, but before he can smile back, Coach Bobby Finstock appears in front of the three.]

COACH: McCall!

SCOTT: Yeah?

[Coach roughly tosses a lacrosse stick with a much bigger net and a bigger helmet to Scott, who catches them after they smack him on the chest. Scott's eyes narrow in confusion]

COACH: You're on goal.

SCOTT: [frowns] I've never played...

COACH: I know-- scoring some shots will give the boys a confidence boost. It's a first-day-back thing.

[Coach smacks Scott on the shoulder for emphasis]

"He does not seem like the right person for this"

"I love coach" Aurora says.

"That's because you're the only one who he doesnt yell at" Isaac says.

"What can I say, I'm a pretty likeable person"

COACH: Get 'em energized! Fired up!

[It is clear by the look on Scott's face that he doesn't have a good feeling about this]

SCOTT: ...What about me?

COACH: Try not to take any in the face.

[Coach smacks Scott lightly on the cheek with the palm of his hand before turning toward the field to start the try-outs]

"It would've been funny to watch you get hit in the face" Aurora says.

Coach: And female Stilinski, stop distracting the players.

Aurora half heartedly rolls her eyes before going to the bleachers and sitting with Lydia and Allison.

COACH: Let's go! Come on!

[In the stands, Lydia looks at Scott curiously, as though she had never noticed him before, and Allison is staring at him as well. Scott reluctantly takes his place in the goal and prepares for practice to start. Just then, his superhuman hearing kicks in once again, allowing him to listen in on Allison, Aurora, and Lydia's conversation]

ALLISON: Who is that?

[Allison jerks her head in Scott's direction]

LYDIA: Him? I'm not sure who he is. Why?

[Scott cocks his head in confusion as he stares at them, but they don't seem to notice. Allison smiles in response to Lydia's question]

Aurora: He's Scott McCall

ALLISON: He's in my English class.

"They're so cute" Blaise says as he slaps Theo on the chest to get hit attention.

"Stop hitting me, we're both looking at the same thing!"

[Unfortunately for Scott, the fact that he's distracted and his extra-sensitive ears cause him to flinch and cover his ears in pain when the assistant coach blows the whistle to start the practice. This makes him a prime target for Jackson, who takes a shot at the goal while Scott is still recovering. The ball hits him right in the front of his helmet with so much force that he's knocked backwards onto the ground. Coach Finstock, Jackson, and the rest of the team members immediately start laughing and making fun of him]

JACKSON: Hey, way to catch with your face, McCall!

[Scott, now determined to prove himself, stands to his feet and shakes out his shoulders in preparation for the next shot. The next player tosses the ball towards him, and Scott catches it easily, to the point where he's visibly stunned that he was able to do so. This sentiment is shared by all the rest of the teammates, Stiles included, who then cheers happily for his friend]

STILES: Yeah!!!

Aurora also cheers from the stand for her best friend.

[The second, third, fourth, and fifth shots are caught by Scott just as easily, and Coach Finstock simply stares at Scott with his mouth open as though he can't believe what he's seeing. Allison smiles when she sees Scott's performance, and even Lydia is clearly impressed by what she sees. Aurora looks at him with a proud smile. Scott's hearing once again picks up on their conversation while he gets ready for the next shot]

ALLISON: He seems like he's pretty good.

[For once, Lydia isn't putting on her mean-girl act or pretending to be someone she's not when she replies to Allison's statement]

LYDIA: Yeah, very good.

Aurora watches on with a smile.

[Scott is practically giddy as he bounces on the balls of his feet and smiles, which only makes Jackson more angry. Intent to take Scott down a peg so that he's back in the spotlight, he slams the top of his stick against the player who was set to practice his goals and ditches him in line. Scott tenses when he sees this and prepares for the worst]

SCOTT: Oh, God...

"That doesn't look like it's gonna end well"

[Jackson runs as fast as he can toward the goal and tosses the ball with all the force he can muster, but to Scott, the ball seems to be moving in slow-motion, allowing him to catch it without hesitation. Both Stiles and Lydia stand to their feet to cheer Scott on, much to Scott's surprise]

STILES: YEAH!!!!

LYDIA: WOOOO!

STILES: THAT'S MY FRIEND!

Aurora: YES GO SCOTT!!

[Jackson is appalled by the fact that Scott got one over on him, and Lydia gives Jackson a very pointed look, as if to say, "Is that all you've got?" This does nothing but make Jackson more furious with Scott for taking his glory as the best player on the team. Allison watches Scott with interest as he throws a back-shot at the assistant coach, who just barely catches it with his own stick]
