INT. BEACON HILLS HIGH SCHOOL - HALLWAY - DAY

The bustling sounds of students fill the hallways of Beacon Hills High School. BELLA walks alongside her brother, STILES, navigating the crowded corridors with a mixture of nervousness and determination. She knows she's safe for now, but the transition from her previous life to this new one is daunting.

STILES (encouragingly) You'll be fine, Bella. It's just school. And you've got me, and Scott, and the pack. We'll help you catch up.

BELLA (smiling slightly) Thanks, Stiles. It's just... a lot to take in.

STILES (grinning) You've faced way worse. A bunch of high school sophomores should be a piece of cake.

As they walk, they spot LIAM, a new sophomore, standing awkwardly by his locker. STILES nudges BELLA.

STILES Hey, look. Another newbie. Let's go say hi.

BELLA nods, and they approach LIAM.

STILES (cheerfully) Hey, you must be new here. I'm Stiles, and this is my sister, Bella.

LIAM (nervously) Uh, hey. I'm Liam. Nice to meet you.

BELLA (smiling warmly) Nice to meet you too, Liam. If you need any help, just let us know.

LIAM (relieved) Thanks. I'll definitely take you up on that.

They chat for a moment before heading to their respective classes. As BELLA walks to her first class, she feels a comforting presence nearby. She turns and sees MALIA and KIRA, new seniors who seem to be fitting in seamlessly.

MALIA (grinning) Hey, you're Bella, right? I'm Malia, and this is Kira. We're new here too.

KIRA (smiling) If you need any help, we're here.

BELLA (grateful) Thanks, guys. It's nice to know I'm not the only new face around here.

They exchange pleasantries before heading to their classes. BELLA finds her classroom and takes a seat, feeling a mix of anticipation and nervousness.

EXT. BEACON HILLS HIGH SCHOOL - COURTYARD - LUNCHTIME

During lunch, BELLA sits with STILES and the pack, feeling more at ease. The school courtyard is filled with students enjoying their break. NATASHA ROMANOFF, watching from a distance, subtly keeps an eye on BELLA, making sure she's adjusting well.

INT. BEACON HILLS HIGH SCHOOL - LIBRARY - AFTER SCHOOL

After school, BELLA heads to the library for extra classes to help her catch up. She's determined to make the most of this new opportunity. As she walks into the library, she notices a new face among the students. PETER PARKER, a seemingly unassuming sophomore, is quietly reading a book at one of the tables.

NATASHA's words echo in BELLA's mind as she recalls the conversation they had earlier.

FLASHBACK - INT. NOAH STILINSKI'S HOUSE - NIGHT

NATASHA (speaking softly) I'll be checking up on you, Bella. But I've also sent someone to keep an eye on you, just in case. His name is Peter Parker. He's a good kid, and you can trust him.

BELLA (nodding) Thanks, Nat. I appreciate it.

BACK TO PRESENT

BELLA approaches PETER, curious about the boy who has been sent to watch over her.

BELLA (softly) Hey, you must be Peter.

PETER looks up, a friendly smile on his face.

PETER (nodding) Yeah, that's me. You must be Bella.
