Stiles entered the school doors. The swarm of other people walking around and not noticing him put him at ease; he hated being the center of attention. He walked to his locker and fumbled with the lock before it finally opened, allowing him to put his books inside. Pictures of Scott, Allison, Lydia, and him were taped to the inside of his locker. He grunted, slamming his locker shut a little too intensely and causing the girl next to him to jump. She gave a slight smile, hurrying from her locker to rush off to her friends.

Stiles read his timetable and noticed that he had math and English for the first and second periods. He sighed and started walking to his math class, which he shared with Malia and Isaac. They had been dating for a while after he and Malia broke up, but he had to admit, the pair was a pretty badass team when it came to fighting.

Math was boring as always, but it went by fairly quickly. Isaac was staring at the back of Stiles' head the whole time and Stiles knew - he could feel the other's impending gaze. He heard Malia whisper to Isaac to actually pay attention to the class, but Isaac just brushed her off, causing her to growl quietly. Stiles laughed to himself but mentally thanked Malia for actually sticking up for him. He thought she would hate him since he had been kicked out of the pack.

English passed by extremely quickly, but that could have been because Stiles slept through the whole period - they were only watching a movie anyway. The break for lunch finally came and Stiles was relieved until he came to the realisation that he now had no one to sit with. With a sigh, he grabbed an apple from his bag and found a tree to sit under. He ate in silence as he read through a fairly thick book. It was a journal that his mother wrote for him before she passed, and it was all about dragons.

The book contained all the myths, legends, and facts behind dragons. Stiles had read the main parts and was now up to the powers section. He was learning how to control and use his powers. The current part he was up to was about reversing time. He knew it was possible but it took a lot of concentration, focus, and sheer power. Surely it would take him years to figure out how to do it properly, but there was no harm in testing it now. If it worked, no one except him would remember seeing him use his ability, and if it didn't work, everyone would just think he's weird - which they do already.

Stiles speed read the last few pages on how to use his ability before he readied himself to actually try it. He sat promptly against the stump of the tree and put his hand up, palm out as if signifying someone to stop. Closing his eyes, he focused intensely on the thought of reversing time and going back to a certain position in the past. If it did work, he didn't want to go too far back in time, so he imagined himself in his English class, sitting there, watching the movie.

Everything around him stayed the pitch-black colour that it was when he closed his eyes. He let out a sigh, as this meant that it obviously hadn't worked. Stiles opened his eyes only to see that surrounding him was his English class, watching a movie in front of them.

"What the hell..." Stiles mumbled to himself, lowering his hand. The teacher shushed him and pointed his head towards the screen in front of Stiles. He rolled his eyes but did as he was told and continued watching the movie. It worked! I can't believe it actually worked... Stiles thought to himself, worried about speaking aloud and getting in trouble again.

The bell rang for the end of period four and Stiles left for lunch. Although he remembered everything when he went back in time, his body state reversed back into what it was at that time in the past. Everything was the same except for his memories.

Stiles left the main building and walked outside to the tree where he was sat just before. The table where the pack was just sitting was now empty, but Stiles could see them walking towards it. He sighed, knowing that he should be over there.
