Scotts hands clutched the climbing wall grip while Allison raced past him with speed. Below them, Rosie and Stiles stood amongst the crowd of students awaiting their turn on the wall in gym class. Since last night Rosie had not experienced any side affects of the wolfsbane and seems like she is back to her normal self. Confused normal self.

"So you don't feel anything, like hungover?" Stiles asked her as his head craned upwards to watch Scott and Allison on the wall.

"Nope. It was wolfsbane not liquor or a drug. Its used to kill werewolves. I am no werewolf." She too had her head adjusted so she was able to see the full length of the wall.

"Well we don't know what you are but yes. You are no werewolf."

"Yeah about that. I was doing some research this morning in math class and I looked up all my symptoms and it just said that I was a human with a high tolerance of pain." Rosie shrugged, watching the two on the wall finally get to the top.

"But Rosie you heal so quickly and easily. I don't get it."

"Well can we just not talk about it right now because my mind is muddled." Her head followed Scott and Allison as they began their descent. From the corner of her eye she saw Stiles was watching them too and decided to tease him. "Allison does have a good ass don't she?"

"Sort of- I mean not that I was looking at it. I wouldn't look at it even if it was right in my face- which it is- but doesn't mean I don't like your butt- I mean I think you have a good butt- not that I would like you any less if you didn't-"

"Stilinksi! Stop talking about butts and get on the wall! You too McCall!" Finnstock interrupted Stiles' stuttering as Rosie continued laughing at the monstrosity of Stiles' reaction. The two walk over to the bottom of the wall and strapped themselves in.

"Don't worry Stiles." Rosie whispered to him, who was fiddling with the harness. "I was looking at it too."

After she gave Stiles a wide grin she proceeded to climb the wall, leaving Stiles staring at her in awe on the floor. He did so for an extra moment until he came back down to earth and realized where he was so he then too began climbing the wall, attempting to catch up with Rosie.

"You're not going to beat me Stilinski." She called down to him, not realizing he was only just below her.

"Oh really?" Stiles said as he was now at the same level as her. Looking at him in shock, Rosie laughed deviously and then progressed towards the top with Stiles continuing to do the same. They were head to head in the last stretch until Rosie pulled the big guns out and reached the top before Stiles.

"And that's that." She said as she let go of the wall and let the harness carry her down elegantly while Stiles shook his head in defeat but could not help smiling at the girl.

Once the two took their harnesses off at the bottom it was then Greenburg and Ericas go. Greenburg was first to put the harness on and begin to climb the wall but Erica was rather hesitant. She was in Rosies math class but barely spoke out ever since her incident and Rosie felt bad for her.

The girl got high enough on the wall, with Greenburg already back on the floor, before her breathing became erratic and scaring the students below her who had now crowded below her.

"Erica? Dizzy? Is it vertigo?" Coach called up to the girl, not helping the state that she was in at all.

"Vertigo's a dysfunction of the vestibular system of the inner ear." The strawberry blonde stated now that she felt it was right to show how smart she truly is. "Shes just freaking out."

"Im fine." Shaking and almost at tears, Erica replied from above.

"Coach maybe its not safe. You know shes epileptic." From beside him Rosie spoke to coach after thinking back to her seizure in math class.

"W-why doesn't anybody tell me this stuff? Epileptic? Erica you're fine. Just-just kick off from the wall. There, theres a mat to catch you. Come on."

Ericas bony and pale finger tips brushed the rock on the wall she had latched onto for the last time as she let go and slowly descended down the wall and onto the floor.

"See, you're fine. You're on the ground. You're all right. Lets go. Shake it off. You're fine." Those around her began laughing and whispering at her as she walked through the gap in the crowd. The McCall twins stood beside each other, wearing the same expression, sympathy.

"What do you mean tonights not a good idea?" Stiles groaned as he got changed in the boys locker room beside Scott.

"I don't know. That thing that we saw last night, Isaac missing, Allisons grandfather, Rosies condition or whatever, all this stuff happening with Derek. I just...doesn't feel right."

"No. You're not backing out. Do you want to know why? Because you and Allison are obviously having quite a good time together. And you know who else wants to have a good time? Stiles! Stiles wants to have a good time. Many, many times. Several times in a row. In several different positions." Scott looked up from his locker menacingly at Stiles.

"Stiles. That's my sister." He stated plainly.

"Now I realize that I was just talking about having a good time with your sister. But you're not backing out. No way. I like her, I finally have a chance with her so you are coming end off. Scott are you even listening to me?" The werewolf was looking down at his hand which was shaking vigorously. "What is that?"

Before replying to him, Scott raced out of the changing rooms and into the gym to find Erica clutching onto the wall and almost about to fall. From the girls changing rooms, Rosie, Allison and a few other girls heard Scotts stamping on the floor and followed them out. They all watched Erica lose her grip and then fall but was caught by Scott at the end.

"Put her on her side. Put her on her side." Rosie commanded as she aided the girl who was having a seizure with Scott beside her. "How did you know?"

"I just felt it."
