          They had stopped by Kyles locker after not finding Boyd anywhere. And guess who stopped by as they tried to look for any clues the dead boys locker...Boyd.

"Woah! Hey, Boyd! I didn't know you were back at school!" Stiles tried making conversation, slightly annoyed that all it took to find the boy was stopping by Kyles locker.

"Yeah...I would have told you, but we're not actually friends...", Stiles paused, letting the offense fade away. Rose just nodded, understanding the boy.

"Oh, yeah... so, did you, uh..so, did you know Kyle?"

"Yeah, we were in junior ROTC together."

"So, you two were friends, then?"

"I only had one freind...she's dead, too", and he walked away from them, but before got far, he turned around and called to Rose.

"Oh, uh, Rose? Can I-Can I talk to you for a second?"

The girls eye brows rose in surprise, "Um, sure, yeah", she walked towards the boy who lightly grabbed her arm to drag her away from Stiles.

"I just...I wanted to say sorry, you know...for attacking you,"

She smiled and laughed slightly, "Boyd, it's okay, I know you weren't exactly in control."

He nodded before adding, "I remember something though, something weird...", she tensed up a bit, ready to hear what she thought, "You made the branches and vines tie me up against the tree...how'd you do that?"

She shifted on her feet a bit, feeling uncomfortable. Boyd took notice, "you don't have to tell me or anything, I just remembered is all..."

"No, no, it's just...I don't know. I'm sorry about that, by the way, and can we keep that little bit to ourselves? Our little secret?", she lifted her pinky finger.

He smiled at her, which was rare for the boy, "I attacked you first remember?", but he lifted his pinky as well, intertwining it with her own, "And I promise to keep it a secret."

They quietly said goodbye, Boyd walking down the hall and Rose walking to Stiles. His eyes were wide with curiosity, "What'd he want? Did he say something? Did he say anything helpful?"

"Relax, he was just apologizing for what happened in the woods."

He nodded, "That's good. Serves him right."

She punched his arm as they walked down the hallway, "Don't be rude, he wasn't in control."

"Whatever, he still hurt you."

The girl only shrugged, she healed rather quickly though. Boyd didn't do much damage.

They made it out to quad when Rose spotted Lydia, "Hey! Lydia!" she yelled out, leaving Stiles behind who was too busy thinking about the sacrifices to notice her walk away.

The red-head smiled brightly at her, "Hey Rosie! Wanna get some food?"

But before she could respond, Stiles came in and started shooting out information to the girl, the new information that flooded his mind in the 5 seconds she wasn't with him, "You know that there's a temple in Calcutta where they used to sacrifice a child every day? That's every day a dead baby, Rose. Oh hey Lydia," he paused to greet her before rambling on, "-- every day! Hey, you want to know what today is? It's Dead Baby Day. Oh, no, wait, that's every day, because every day is Dead Baby Day, yay!

Rose sighed, "Why are you telling us this? Also, how did that pop into your mind in the five seconds I was away from you?"

"Because Scott's dealing with the Alpha twins. And I have ADHD, I'm thinking 24/7.", he paused as he saw the confusion across Lydias face, "...You don't know about the twins?"
