Sophia woke up with a start. The last thing she remembered was her head pounding as the Alpha threw her and Derek into a wall. She reached for her phone quickly, looking at the date. It was only the next day and it was a school day, maybe she would stay home. She did notice that she was up early enough that she could get dressed and go to school. She sighed before she got out of bed. She glanced through her contacts, finding Derek's number.

To Hale (6:14 am)

Are you okay?

She sent the text before walking over to her mirror, she looked completely normal, like she was just attacked by a crazy Alpha the night before. She walked to the closet and pulled out her clothes for school. Scott and Stiles were probably worried about her, thinking the Alpha had killed her. Her phone buzzed from her bed so she set her clothes aside to go check it.

From Hale (6:15 am)

Fine. How are you even awake?

She snorted. He still thought she was human.

To Hale (6:17 am)

It's called not having a concussion. You broke my fall. Thanks for that by the way.

She threw the phone down on the bed and got dressed quickly. She put on a black tank top with one of Stiles' plaid shirts as an over shirt, the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She put on a pair of blue jean shorts and a pair of black leather ankle boots. She smiled when her mom came into the room, telling her breakfast was ready. She finished putting on her shoes before her phone went off again.

From Hale (6:35 am)

We need to talk. NOW. No more lies. No more games.

She snorted again and rolled her eyes. Who's really telling lies and playing games here?

To Hale (6:36 am)

No one is playing games here but you. You could actually teach Scott what he needs to know.

To Hale (6:37 am)

I have school. I might have time for you later. You'll learn eventually.

She locked her phone, put it in her back pocket, and went down the stairs, grabbing breakfast before getting in the car and heading to school. She pulled into the parking lot before checking her phone one last time.

From Hale (7:05 am)

Fine. Have a good day.

Sophia tilted her head, that was kind of a weird reply from Derek. She sighed before getting out of the car and making her way into the school and going to her first class. Halfway through class, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She slipped it out, looking at it.

From Stiles; Scott (7:14 am)

Are you at school?

To Stiles; Scott (7:15 am)

I am, I'm in homeroom.

From Stiles; Scott (7:15 am)

Good! We were worried.

To Stiles; Scott (7:16 am)

Nothing to worry about.

Sophia smiled at her friends concern before setting her phone down on her lap. Class continued on before her phone went off again. She raised an eyebrow at it before looking down at it once more.

From Stiles (7:35)

Scott, AWOL. Need help.

Sophia raised her hand and asked to use the bathroom. She got the pass before running down the hallway, seeing Stiles standing there with Scott's backpack. "Hey." She said when she was close enough.

"Hey." He said before pulling his phone out of his pocket and calling Scott. They could hear his phone ringing a short distance away. Stiles looked at Sophia, who nodded before they decided to follow it. It leads them to the locker room. They could hear the water running as they slowly crept closer. Stiles sighs when he sees Scott under the water. Scott turned to look at them, panting heavily.

"I can't…" He began.

"What's happening? Are you changing?" Stiles asked, ready to jump into action.

"No. No, I can't breathe." Scott said. He was wheezing and choking now that Sophia listened. It was almost like when he had asthma but more like when Stiles used to have panic attacks. Sophia reached into Scott's bag and pulled out his inhaler. She held it out to the boy.

"Here, use this." She said. He just looked at her so she pushed it into his hands. "Come on." He did one spray and the gasping and choking slowly faded away, he began to breath normally again. He looked at Stiles and Sophia.

"I was having an asthma attack?" He asked.

"No, you were having a panic attack. But thinking you were having an asthma attack actually stopped the panic attack. Irony." Stiles said and Sophia shook her head softly.

"How did you know how to do that?" Scott asked Sophia. The girl put her hands in her pockets.

"Stiles used to get them after his mom died." She said, leaning her head against the other boy's shoulder.

"Yeah, not fun." Stiles said, leaning some of his weight onto the redhead beside him.

"I looked at her and it was like someone hit me in the ribs with a hammer." Scott said, trying to explain how he felt and apparently why he had had the panic attack.

"Yeah, it's called heartbreak." Sophia said, shrugging her shoulders and trying to get even closer to Stiles.

"About two billion songs are written about it." Stiles said, lightly shrugging his own shoulders as not to dislodge the girl leaning on him.

"I can't stop thinking about her." Scott said, running his fingers through his wet hair.

"Well, you could think about this, her dad's a werewolf hunter and you're a werewolf, so it was bound to become an issue." Stiles said and Sophia nudged him in the ribs with a slight glare.

"That wasn't helpful." She said softly. "You got dumped and it's supposed to suck." Sophia said to Scott.

"No, that's not it." Scott said, shaking his head. "It was like I could feel everything in the room, everyone else's emotions." Stiles shrugged harder this time, actually pushing Sophia off of him and the girl snorted slightly as she took a step back from him.

"It's got to be the full moon. So we'll lock you up in your room later just like we planned." Stiles said, motioning between the three of them. "That way the Alpha, who is your boss, can't get to you, either."

"I think we need to do a lot more than lock me in my room." Scott said, looking up at them.

"What? You mean because if you get out you'd be caught by hunters?" Stiles asked and Scott shook his head.

"Because if I get out, I think I might kill someone." Scott said, walking closer to his friends.

Sophia gathered around with the other boys when Finstock came into the locker room. She sat beside Stiles. "Alright geniuses, listen up. Due to the recent pinkeye epidemic, thank you Greenberg, the following people gave made first line on a probationary basis. Emphasis on the word "probationary." Rodriquez, Taylor, and uh… oh, for the love of crap. I can't even read my own writing." Finstock said as he struggled to read the paper. Sophia glanced at Stiles next to her and wrapped her hand up in his practice jersey to keep him from falling into the floor. "And Bilinski." Stiles looked up and Sophia quickly stood as he jumped up and began cheering. Sophia chuckled and hugged Stiles. He sat back down when coach told him to.

"Stiles." Scott said to the other boy.

"Call me Biles or I swear to God I'll kill you." Sophia chuckled.

"Another thing. From here on out, immediately, we're switching to co-captains. Congratulations McCall." Sophia leaned over Stiles, smiling at the other boy before putting her hand on his shoulder, and shaking him a bit. He looked up at Sophia and Stiles surprised. Jackson was pissed but Sophia couldn't help but smile at her boys, they were all on the field with her now. Sophia grabbed her stick, helmet, and gloves before she began to walk out the door. She could hear Stiles talking to Scott.

"Dude, can you believe this?" Stiles asked. "You're a captain. I'm first line. Sophia's first line. I'm freaking first line!" Stiles said laughing. Sophia chuckled, throwing an arm around his shoulder as they made their way out to the field.

Scott had switched jerseys and then he and Stiles had met Sophia in the hallway. "Are you not freaking out? I'm freaking out." Stiles said to Scott, high-fiving Sophia when he got close enough.

"What's the point? It's just a stupid title. And I could practically smell the jealousy in there." Scott said, looking straight ahead as they walked. Sophia made a noise of agreement, it was suffocating in there. Stiles laid a hand on Scott's shoulder to stop him from walking.

"Wait, you smell jealousy?" He asked, turning Scott towards him.

"Yeah, it's like the full moon's turned everything up to 10." Scott said.

"Huh." Stiles made a face and Sophia almost rolled her eyes. She knew it was coming. Stiles' random and weird question of the day. "Can you pick up on stuff like, I don't know, desire?" She raised an eyebrow, right she was.

"What do you mean, desire?" Scott asked with the smallest smirk on his face.

"Like sexual desire?" Stiles explained further.

"Sexual desire?" Scott asked.

"Yeah, sexual desire." Stiles said back and Sophia shook her head before tying her hair back in a ponytail. "Lust, passion, arousal." Sophia covered her mouth when Stiles rolled his tongue through the word 'arousal.' Scott rolled his eyes, looking out the door.

"From Lydia?" Scott asked.

"What? No, in a general, broad sense, can you determine sexual desire?" Stiles asked, trying to cover his tracks. Scott watched his friend for a moment.

"From Lydia to you?" He asked again.

"Fine, yes. From Lydia to me." Stiles said as he caved. "Look, I need to know if I have a chance with this girl, okay?" Stiles said, looking at Lydia. Sophia looked at her friends. Lydia was, no offense to Stiles, so far out of his league it was never gonna happen but the boy was in denial and nothing was going to stop him from trying. "I've been obsessing over her since the third freaking grade."

"Why don't you just ask her?" Sophia asked, putting her hands on her hips and drawing their attention to her.

"Well, to save myself utterly crushing humiliation. Thank you, Sophia." Her green eyes were trained on Stiles for a moment before he turned to Scott. "Please, can you just go up and ask her if she likes me?" Scott rolled his eyes and Stiles shrugged his shoulders, which looked comical with the shoulder pads on. "See if her heartbeat rises or pheromones come out."

"Fine." Scott said, tired of the ridicules argument apparently.

"I love you. I love you." Stiles called after Scott. He turned to Sophia, pointing to their best friend. "I love him." She rolled her eyes, patting him on the back.

"I see that." Scott and Lydia walked out of sight. They were also out of Sophia's sense of hearing. "Come on. Let's go." Sophia said, picking up all of her stuff and making her way to the field. A few minutes later, Scott came and sat down, Stiles immediately questioning him. "In fact, she's totally into you." Scott's heart was blipping all over the place. She looked over at the other boy, an unusual smile on his face. Well, we were just going to have to get down to the bottom of this one.

Practice began as normal but almost right away, Scott got clobbered. The girl shook her head. Scott blocked Stiles from going his turn and did it again. This time, taking out all of the other players that were blocking, including Danny who was the goalie. "Danny!" Jackson and Sophia called at the same time, the girl coming out of the line and running over to her friend. Stiles came up behind her and she grabbed his jersey to pull him down, a yelp leaving his lips. "Go get McCall and find out what the hell is going on before I do." Stiles nodded quickly, making his way over to the other boy. Sophia got up when the medics got there to check Danny and as she stood, even with all of the blood pumping into her ears, she could hear the uptick in Lydia's heartbeat and immediately, Scott's strange behavior made sense.

She was going to kill him.

Sophia went home after practice, Stiles said he didn't need her help with Scott so she didn't worry about it. She threw her bag down, said hi to her parents and told them to call her when dinner was ready, before going up to her room. She sat down on her bed, pulling out her phone from her pocket.

To Stiles (8:34 pm)

How are things with Scotty?

She sent the text and waited for a reply. Shortly after that, she was called down to dinner. She told her parents about practice and about how strange Scott was acting. Her father said it's probably just puberty, causing her and her mother to laugh. Her phone vibrated in her pocket briefly before she pulled it out and read the text.

From Stiles (9:06 pm)

Well… not how I pictured it. :'(

Sophia tilted her head, typing out a message before sending it.

To Stiles (9:07 pm)

What? What's going on? Do I need to come over?

From Stiles (9:08 pm)

No, I think we got it under control but I'll let you know.

To Stiles (9:09 pm)

Alright… just be safe.

From Stiles (9:10 pm)

Always

Sophia locked her phone before putting it back in her pocket, finishing off the last of her dinner before making her way back to her room with the rouse of having to do homework, even though she did it all before coming home. She turned on her computer and turned on Netflix, watching whatever caught her attention.

From Stiles (9:35 pm)

He's gone! 911! Scott's gone!

Sophia closed her laptop and jumped out of the bed. She slipped her shoes back on before calmly walking down the stairs. "Mom, dad! Stiles and Scott need my help on a project. I didn't have much homework so I just finished it. I'm gonna head over there."

"Alright sweetie, just let us know if you're staying the night." Her mom said, peeking out from the kitchen. Sophia smiled; her parents were really cool about her staying over at Scott's or Stiles' place. They'd been friends for so long that they figured if anything was going to happen, it would have happened by now.

"I will." She said, grabbing the keys to the Challenger and walking out the door. As soon as it was shut, she got into her car and took off, trying not to peel out as she made her way towards Scott's house. Stiles' Jeep was gone from the driveway so Sophia continued driving until she finally pulled over, calling Stiles.

"Hey, did you find him yet?" She asked.

'No, I saw the lights and came here. I found my dad though.'

"That's good." Sophia said nodding. Suddenly, her phone beeped. "Hold on, I got another call coming." She pulled it away from her ear, seeing Derek's name. "Hey, it's Derek. I gotta go." She switched lines. "Hello?"

'I found Scott. I'm taking him back home.'

"Okay, thanks. I owe you one." Sophia said, putting the car back in drive and turning around, heading back towards Scott's house.

'You don't owe me anything. I'm just glad I could find him before the Alpha did or he hurt someone.'

"Well, thanks again. I'm heading that way; I'm around five minutes out."

'Alright.' Derek answered and hung up without waiting for a reply. Sophia glanced her phone when she pulled it away from her ear.

"Rude much." She said before throwing the phone into the passenger seat, driving the short distance to Scott's house.
