Leaning against the side of her truck, waiting for both of her brothers to come out of school, Camden leans next to her him waiting for his brother to come out as well. "So do you think Stiles has had any problems with someone picking on him today?" Camden knows that Stiles hasn't had it easy with kids in his grade, him being smaller and lankier than people in his grade, him not hitting his growth spurt yet.

"If someone has, I told him that he needs to tell a teacher because they don't stop if he tells them to..." her voice leads off as she sees that same boy holding an ice pack to his cheek as her other brother holds both of their backpacks walking towards the car, running over towards them she plops onto her knees right in front of them, grabbing the ice pack from his cheek to see what's going on, "what happened Mis?" Peeling away the ice pack she sees a bruise starting to form on his cheek, "did Jackson do it again?"

Stiles starts shaking his head no, not wanting anyone to deal with the wrath of his sister, Charlie glances over to see her other little brother Scott shaking his head yes, knowing that Stiles won't tell their sister the truth... "it happened when we were walking out of the classroom to come outside, Jackson tripped him he also pushed me down next to Sti.. but someone punched him in the face after he did.."

Grabbing her little brothers by their shoulders she walks back into the elementary school towards the office, telling them both to sit on the bench right outside the office, next to a short brunette girl who looks to be in their class, she looks at the two boys and says quite fiercely, "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself."

Walking into the office to talk to the principal she sees a women who looks to be her fathers age, slightly tanned skin with brown eyes, and a teenage boy next to her talking to a tall man who she knows as Mr. Whittemore, Jackson's father. Mr. Whitmore looks annoyed, his face red with anger as the woman across from him has a calm look up on her face. Not hearing the first part of the conversation only hearing the end of it, Mr. Whittemore almost spits, "my son says your daughter hit him for no reason, and I believe him over your daughter. My son doesn't ""bully" anyone, their boys they play rough!"

Before the women whose daughter seemed to defend her little brothers, "Hi Mr. Whittemore, I'm Charlotte Stilinski and your son has been bullying my brothers since last year. And today your son tripped them and pushed them right before they came outside, giving one of them a bruise on his face and the other scrapes on his hands...

Mr. Whittemore raises his hand in her face making her shut up, "you're little brothers aren't being bullied they need to man up, Jackson plays rough, that's how boys are." Looking at her up and down seeing that she is small and young, "and it shouldn't matter to you, you aren't their parents, I'll be speaking to your father about this. It was Stilinski right? The sheriffs daughter? Did your brother to handle his business for him?"
