My Stiles senses were tingling, when the new kid walked into our calculus class. When I glanced at him I felt like I was being examined, in fact it kind of reminded me of Dumbledore in that way. He looked calm and confident, not like Alison her first day who was nervous. I'd seen it in Marcus Smith, who'd been an army kid who'd moved around loads. His eyes scanned the room, zeroing in on the empty seat beside me.

The principal announced him and gave the boring talk about being nice and school spirit blah blah blah blah. When he leaves Mr. Holand gestures to the back of the room. His gate is smooth as he walks down the aisle. But the moment he passes Scott they both tense, but Perseus just continues to the seat. What kind of name is Perseus, I felt sorry for him he probably went by a different name like, Percy. I dragged my thoughts to the present. No one else seemed to have noticed the weirdness exchanged between Scott and Percy but because of all the stuff we've gone through I noticed, partially because Id trained my brain to notice things like that but also because of what Morral called 'hyper vigilance'. but because Scott and I have been through so much I notice an almost unrecognizable shift in his stature. His eyes flicker between Scott and I. His gaze is piercing and guarded, there's something there that unsettles me deeply and I'm not sure what it is. It could also be because the guy moved to a town that was just after having a cereal killer in it. I mean who moves to a town that has just suffers from someone ritualistically killing people it was on the news for Christ sakes. Any sane person would have fled to the hills that Beacon Hills was named after. Were we one of those towns in America that had the population of the town on the sign? Did we have to keep changing the number did. I consciously brought myself back to the present.

He sits down in the empty seat beside me, and now I'm uncomfortably reminded of how skinny and scrawny I am. He is, in fact, very well built. Does this mean I'm attracted to him because I can recognize his appealing features or is it my survival instincts saying flight with this guy not fight. He doesn't tower over me, we would certainly be evenly matched if it came to who's taller than who but that would be the only thing. He leans towards me and for a moment, I have an irrational impulse to run away and hide.

"Hi I'm Perseus but please call me Percy, I'm also book-less so do you mind sharing?" I nod and turn my book in his direction. He shuffles closer to my desk, and is silent for a moment.

"Sorry I didn't catch your name?" I feel like such an idiot. This guy was just trying to make a friend and there I was giving him the silent treatment. What kind of a person am I?

"It's Stiles and this is my friend Scott" I incline my head towards Scott, who nods and gives him a friendly smile. Percy smiles back and we continue in silence. Half way through the lesson Percy starts to get fidgety and shuffly (Is that even a word?) I recognise the signs of ADHD. Percy notices me noticing.

"Sorry I have ADHD" he shruggs and resumes his shuffling.

"So do I" is my blunt reply but I am currently on Adderall to curtail the worst of it. Percy looks at me and I see sympathy and understanding in his eyes but fortunately not pity. I feel a kinship with this dude . The class starts to over-heat and Percy takes off his hoodie to reveal a long-sleeved top. He starts to roll up his sleeves but then for some reason thinks the better of it and starts to pull them down hurriedly. Not before I catch a few raised scars covering his arm. My curiosity reaches its peak, but before I can ask him any questions, the bell rings and my opportunity is crushed. On the bright side we can rule out werewolf to the list of possibilities. Everyone clears their books away and races to get to lunch. I'm half way out the door when I notice Percy standing behind, looking very much lost.

"Hey come sit with us at lunch" I call and he looks at me gratefully as he follows us down the hall.

So I originally wrote this story on Wattpad but just joined , I have revised the story and edited it as looking back some of the writing is pretty lame.

I have never met someone with ADHD or ADD so I did a bit of research and I'm trying to make it as accurate as possible I do have dyslexia and so I do know what I'm talking about with that aspect. Again if my portrayal is inaccurate or offensive please alert me
