In the school, at the cafeteria. Scott and Stiles have just left the lunch line and are carrying their trays of food to one of the empty tables as Stiles whispers to Scott talking. Scott sets his tray on the table before taking off his backpack and sitting it on the chair next to him, Stiles repeating the gesture.

They continue their conversation as they sit down across from each other at the table. Stiles gives Scott a look, and Scott bashfully looks around before continuing his train of thought at a lower volume

Just then, I appear behind Scott, looking at him curiously before slamming my lunch tray down on the table to Scott's left to get their attention "Figure out what?"

Stiles startled by the appearance of his crush, especially considering I chose to sit next to them at lunch, stammers nervously "Ha... Uhh..."

Stiles is unable to come up with a decent answer. 

Scott quickly lies to cover up the real topic of their conversation "Just, uh, homework..."

Stiles nods in agreement "Yeah."

While I'm distracted by someone passing the table.

Stiles leans forward to whisper to Scott "Why is she sitting with us?"

Scott just gapes at Stiles and shrugs, as if to say, (I don't know!)

Suddenly, more people start to sit down at our table. Sam sits at the head of the table, while Danny takes a seat on Stiles' right.

Scott turns to see that Allison is sitting down on his right and smiles before moving his backpack.

So Allison can sit down "Thanks!"

Harley sits down on Stiles' left, and he chuckles at her sight, causing Harley to roll her eyes good-naturedly.

After a moment, he rolls his eyes himself and looks at Scott, clearly annoyed that their Werewolf-related brainstorming session has been interrupted by all of these popular kids. He turns the other way and accidentally makes eye contact with Danny, causing him to flick his head in greeting.

Only for Danny to roll his eyes as though Stiles is the most tedious thing he's had to deal with all day. To make matters even more complicated for Scott and Stiles, Jackson approaches the table and sits next to Sam.

Danny says "So, I hear they're saying it's some type of animal attack. Probably a cougar."

Sam says "Really, What type of animal?"

Jackson says "I heard mountain lion."

I stare at my tray, and speak up in an annoyed tone of voice "A cougar is a mountain lion" Jackson, Sam, and Danny stare at me blankly, surprised by this answer. Sam glares at me as I realized I'm dangerously close to revealing just how smart I actually am, trying to backtrack, I look at Sam "...Isn't it?"

Jackson raises his eyebrow and scoffs "Who cares? The guy's probably some homeless tweaker who's gonna die anyway."

Sam says "Maybe Jackson right"

Stiles who had started to look up the case on his phone, suddenly speaks up when he gets more information "Actually, I just found out who it is. Check it out."

Stiles pulls up a video on his phone and turns it so we can see it. It's from a news website, and a reporter can be heard narrating the story

Reporter: [on video] The Sheriff's department won't speculate on details of the incident but confirmed the victim, Garrison Myers, did survive the attack. Myers was taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition.
