━︎━︎━︎━︎𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐈𝐓 to her math class, sighing as she took a seat beside Lydia. Lydia glanced at her and gave her a small smile to which Elaine returned. The girl started pulling out her books and notes, glancing up to watch Malia as she stopped in the doorway, staring at the math written on the board before slowly backing out of the doorway only for Stiles to grab her shoulders and push her into the classroom, earning multiple complaints from the girl before she gave in, sitting behind Lydia with Stiles sitting behind Elaine.

"School is important. Math is essential." Stiles explained, accepting the pencil from Elaine who already predicted he'd forgotten one.

Malia turned her head to look at him, narrowing her eyes. "For what?"

"Knowing how much to tip at restaurants."

Lydia turned and looked at him with a blank look on her face. "And other less important things like medicine, economics, engineering. . ."

"Tipping." Stiles nodded with a wink. Elaine rolled her eyes and shook her head.

They all turned their attention to the front when their teacher started talking. "Alright, volunteers to the board. Lydia, Elaine, Malia."

"Um. . . I didn't volunteer." Malia spoke up.

"You did now. To the board."

The three girls stood up, making their way to the board and to their separate equations. Elaine and Lydia quickly started to solve their equations. Malia stood in between the two girls, her hand hovering and not moving to write anything down. Lydia turned to look at the girl. "Did you go over the notes I gave you?"

"I didn't understand them." Malia whispered.

Lydia glanced over her shoulder to make sure the teacher wasn't paying attention before whispering the answer to Malia. "X equals 25."

"And Malia?" Elaine spoke, making the werecoyote look at her. "Claws away." She put down her piece of chalk before walking away from the board, Lydia following after her, and Malia eventually doing the same. Once class was over, Elaine made it to her locker. She softly sighed to herself as she dug through her locker, trying to find her books for Econ that she had coming up. The sound of someone slamming against the lockers and panting heavily made her stop. She closed her eyes before opening them and sighing. "Stiles, what do you want?"

"I want you to get your brother to come with me to look at a family murdering axe murderer." Stiles said as Elaine closed her locker. She turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Come with me."

"Stiles." Elaine started walking away.

"Partner in crime, come on." Stiles quickly followed after her.
