THE TRIO SAT quietly in their assigned seats in the back of Coach Finstock's economics class. Hope was flipping through the text book with pursed lips.

Suddenly, Jackson's voice flirted towards them, "Hey, testicle left and right, and red head I don't know." Hope rose one brow and slowly turned to face him just as Scott and Stiles only raised their heads. "What the hell is a Kanima?" 

"Um..." Caroline trailed off, mouth open as she didn't know how to process Jackson's insult.

Lizzie booed and gave a thumbs down to the screen. "I can come up with better insults than that."

Hope was sitting right in front of the best friends, with some random girl she forgot the name of. And seeing as she was already turned to face Jackson, she was highly amused when the boys swiveled around in their seats with comically wide eyes.

The boys opened their mouths to question him, but the sound a text book slamming against a desk caused them to turn back around to face the Coach. Hope gave a pointed look towards the boys before facing the front, too.

"All right, listen up. A quick warning before we begin our review. Some of you, like McCall, might want to start their own study groups, because tomorrow's midterm is so profoundly difficult...I'm not even sure I could pass it." He chuckled. "Okay, I need a volunteer at the board to answer the first question. Who's got it, huh?" 

"Paralyzed from the neck down. Do you have any idea what that feel like?" Jackson asked in a hushed tone. 

The trio tuned the Coach out and turned to Jackson with shocked expressions.

"I'm familiar with the sensation," Stiles replied with a grimace.

"Wait," Hope spoke up, causing all three males to look at her. "Why would Derek test you? Why would he think that it's you?" 

"So... he's the lizard thingy?" Lizzie asked, pointing at the screen, nose scrunched in thought.

"If so, they better light his ass on fire," Rebekah retorted.

Jackson gave her a look of bewilderment.  "How should I know?" 

"Wait, do they think it's Lydia?" Stiles asked, frantically looking at the strawberry-blonde at the front of the classroom.

Hope furrowed her brows as she recalled Scott telling her about Lydia being bit by Peter — Derek's psychotic uncle. So, it shouldn't be a surprise that he thought it was Lydia. Maybe it was her.

"God, I hope not, she's too pretty," Lizzie stated, and pretty much everyone else nodded in agreement.

"I don't know, all I heard was her name and something about chemistry," Jackson answered, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
