Aaliyah followed behind Stiles into the boys locker room to prepare for setting up a prank for coach. The room was dark but Stiles shined a flashlight to see. Every year for halloween the students would prank teachers and each other. Aaliyah looked forward to it every time. Coach always yelled but she knew he enjoyed it just as much as everyone else, unlike some teachers that spend the entire day miserable and angry about kids having fun. She listened to Stiles as he spoke to Scott on the phone.

"Get your ass down here now." Stiles demanded. "We have a job to do."

"Dude, I'm already in bed. And aren't we getting a little old for this?" Scott told him.

"We do this for coach."

"I thought we did this to coach."

"Whatever, okay? You know he needs this. He lives for this stuff. He loves it." Stiles convinced.

"But it's the middle of the night." Aaliyah scoffed at Scott's lame excuse.

"12:15 actually." Stiles open his locker to grab a drill. "Which means it's after midnight and official mischief night/day, and by perfectly awesome coincidence, it also happens to be Coach's birthday. So if you're not down here in five seconds, I will destroy you." Aaliyah chuckled at Stiles' threat. She could hear Scott sneaking into the locker room to scare him, but she kept quiet. "Okay? And I mean five, four, three, two..." Scott snuck up behind him, his eyes glowing red, once he noticed Stiles turned around and jumped back slamming into the locker. Aaliyah burst out in laughter at Stiles' reaction.
