     CASSANDRA WAS OVERWHELMED. First, she has officially become a Senior. Second, the pressure to think about the future, such as where she is going to college and what majors she should take. Third, she didn't have any clue to find out what was inside her anymore, only a letter given by Kate. And it didn't help at all. She was intrigued by Kate's words. Because it means, she's not just a human being and she can help her friends. But, she still doesn't know whether that something in her is dangerous or not. However Scott and Stiles, who was beside her, too eager to discuss the University they're going to take. They brought her to a hill that showed the entire Beacon Hills, which really is not that interesting for her. But, since both of them are her best friends, so she decided to participate in order to increase good deeds for her best friends. She was too preoccupied with her star gazing moment, until she wasn't aware that the two boys have completed their discussion about universities.

"Cassie!" Stiles called, making her back to reality.

She turned to them, tilting her head to the side. "Yes?"

"Are you even listening?" Stiles raised an eyebrow.

"Not really," She shrugged. "I told you I was just going to sit here and accompany you to discuss about god-knows what."

Stiles rolled his eyes. "Yeah, of course. Since you and Lydia are not gonna have a problem getting into Stanford."

"Kira's thinking USF." Scott said, staring at the sky.

Then, the three of them fell into silence. It has been six months since she set foot in Beacon Hills, and there are no signs of any strange creatures. Not yet. She doesn't except for any other creature now, because she wants to be focus about her senior year and her future. And she doesn't need any kind of distraction in the process of achieving her goals.

"Thinks it's been long enough?" Scott broke the silence.

Stiles had half opened his mouth to answer, but someone beat it for him.

"Yes!" They turned to look at Liam chained in a tree.

"Hey, trying to have an adult conversation over here." Stiles shouted.

"Alright, you're two years older than me. And I'm fine." Liam replied. "Just let me go."

Cassandra climbed down from Stiles' jeep, making her way toward Liam along with Scott and Stiles. "It's not that we don't trust you." Scott said as they approached the young boy.

"It's that I don't trust you." Stiles joined.

Cassandra nodded. "Yeah, but the last full moon-"

The wolf boy groaned. "It was one slip up."

"Slip up? A dozen calls to the Sheriff's Department about a monstrous dog boy running around the streets of Beacon Hills naked. That's a slip up?" Stiles explained.

Cassandra chuckled as she shook her head. "Why were you naked?"

"It was really hot that night, okay." Liam huffed out in annoyance. "Let me go."

"You sure you're okay?" Scott asked.

"It won't happen again." He answered eagerly.

"You're in complete and total control?"

"Yeah. Complete and total." Liam said confidence in his tone.

Scott pulled out a key and unlocked the chains. The chains were dropped into Stiles' bag and he quickly zipped off the bag. Liam sighed as he started to follow the two boys. Cassandra noticed something and she quickly grabbed his wrist.
