Dylan's POV

We went to the school to try and act normal, however that was going to be hard. The class we were currently in was Coach's economics class. I am great at the class but Coach is suppose to be something else. A loud teacher that makes fun of anyone who gets a question wrong. What if he asks me about myself and I can't answer it? I'd be question then made fun of just like I was in high school back on my earth. I was bullies so much yet I was strong. Non of them got to me and I wasn't going to let them get to me. I was a rock then so why can't I be a rock now?

A hand was place I look over to my right shoulder making me jump. I look over at Scott to see him smiling at me. I had fear in my eyes and my body became visually shaky.

" 'Stiles', don't worry. Everything will be alright." He coos. Scott moves his hand  to my neck then to my hair. He began playing with it which was soothing until he points out...

"Besides, Lydia is probably feeling ten times worse." My eyes widen and head shoots over to the direction Holland is in. She was violently shaking so I got up and went over to hug her.

"Don't worry Holland. Everything is going to be okay." I whisper. 

"Alrighty losers, listen up- Stilinski, sit down!" I nearly jump out of my skin hearing someone screaming at me. I turned to see the Coach sending death glares my way. I gave Holland a quick pat on the back  before returning to sit next to Scott. Coach went over to his desk and sat as well. "Today we are learning about GDP, aka gross domestic product. Can someone tell me what that is? Any takers?" I slowly raise my hand.

"Stilinski? This is a first but lay it on us." All eye went to me and I froze. Just breath Dylan, just breath. I've got this, just believe. All you have to do is give a definition.

" It is one of the primary indicators used to gauge the health of a country's economy. It represents the total dollar value of all goods and services produced over a specific time period; you can think of it as the size of the economy."Everyone look at me in amazement, even coach." My cheeks turn a shade of pink.

"Damn, good job Stilinski!" Coach cheers then throws me a piece of butterscotch. "That's a reward for surprise me! Now, are you smart enough to tell me what real GDP is?" I though for a second. I then remembered what it actually is. "It is a measure of the value of economic output adjusted for price changes." Coach starts clapping then throws another piece of candy.

"Wow, now if you could only be as good at lacrosse as you are at this." He jokes. I think I just finally started fitting in.

School was finally over and I have never been happier. I was good at everything we did , except math. Now it's time to put all that recreational lacrosse I played to use. I may or may not be able to do this but I'll try. All I can do is cross my fingers and hope for the best this afternoon.
