"Better take that off me before I make him lose the ability to have children."

"What's the matter with you?" Charlotte asks Scott as he sits in the seat diagonal from her.

"Oh, Charlotte." Scott sighs in relief, making Charlotte grow concerned.

"I'm actually allowed to speak to you." Scott smiles at her.

"What?" Charlotte asks in confusion.

"Derek said that I have to stay away from Allison, so I also have to stay away from Lydia... and Jackson... Stiles isn't speaking to me... please don't be angry with me." Scott looks at her with puppy dog eyes.

"Scott, you're very much concerning me right now." Charlotte tells him, making him smile at her sheepishly.

"Your cousin is an asshole." Scott tells her, making her let out a laugh.

"Don't I know it." She nods.

Just then, the bell rings for the start of the lesson, and Stiles walks into the classroom, his head down so he doesn't make eye contact with Scott.

He takes the free seat next to Charlotte and in front of Scott so he doesn't look at him, digging through his bag before he puts something on Charlotte's desk.

Charlotte looks down, smiling when she sees a pack of red, yellow and green highlighters in front of her.

"You still not gonna talk to me?" Scott asks Stiles quietly, making Charlotte look up at the two.

When Stiles doesn't answer, Scott sighs sadly.
"Okay, can you at least tell me that your dad's okay? It was just a bruise... and some soft tissue damage? Nothing-" Scott starts before he sees Charlotte shake her head a little, telling Scott to stop talking about it.

"Stiles, you do know that I feel really bad about it, right?" Scott asks him, and surprise, surprise, Stiles doesn't acknowledge him.

Scott turns to Charlotte for help, which she just replies with a shrug.

"Okay, what if I told you that I'm trying to figure this whole thing out and that Derek is going to help me?" Scott asks.

"You're an idiot." Charlotte mutters, knowing that Scott will hear her because of his enhanced hearing.

"If I was talking to you, I'd call you an absolute idiot for even trusting the guy, but I can't because, quite frankly, I'm not talking to you." Stiles hums, making Charlotte turn to him with an amused smile.

The classroom starts to fill with talkative students, and Scott and Charlotte share an amused look when they see Stiles visibly try and not talk to Scott.

"Oh fine, what did he say?" Stiles turns to Scott eagerly, making the two supernaturals chuckle.

"He wants you to tap into your animal side and get angry?" Stiles asks incredulously.

"Yeah." Scott nods.

"Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what we're trying to prevent?" Stiles asks, turning to Charlotte.

"Yes, that is what we're trying to prevent." Charlotte nods with a sigh.

"And plus, every time you do that, you try and kill someone, and that someone is either me or Charlotte... or both." Stiles rambles.

"I know. And that's what he means when he says that he doesn't know if he can teach me. That I'm gonna have to try and control it myself." Scott shrugs.
