Chapter 1. Last Day of Summer

"Alright so I found some cool three bedrooms in the Mission District, but they're pretty expensive." Stiles stated as he looked down onto the map.

Its the last day of summer before our first day of senior year. You see, ever since I was a kid, I've been hanging out with Scott and Stiles, which ended up making us pretty close. I was currently sitting on Stiles' Jeeps' hood next to Scott and Stiles in the woods as we sat and tried to decide what our future plan was going to be.

"A couple in Haight and Ashbury. Also expensive." Scott stopped for a second and look over at Stiles, "What about Berkley? Don't a lot of students live around there?" He asked. "Yeah, we could try Nob Hill, but the Jeep would probably burn through a lot of clutches." Stiles was attached to his Jeep. If he had to choose between the Jeep or his own family, I'm pretty sure he'd choose the Jeep.

"You're bringing the Jeep?" I chuckled at the fact that Scott was so surprised. "You know the plan, okay. No one gets left behind, that's the plan." I rose an eyebrow at Stiles.

"Lydia's not gonna have a problem getting into Stanford, Kira's thinking USF, Skylar's planning on NYU, Malia's... uh, gonna.... you know, she'll figure something out, okay. The plan is perfect." Stiles states while looking up to Scott and I.

"Or we could also just wait until we actually get into college then figure out where to live." I suggested. I mean, don't get me wrong, but I think Stiles is making a pretty big deal about this whole college situation. "I have a vision, okay. And it's a beautiful vision. Don't ruin the vision." My brother replied as he sighed.

"What about the East Bay? We haven't looked in Oakland yet." Stiles mentioned. I looked over at Scott and realized how he hadn't been listening to Stiles' and I's conversation and had been dazed out instead.

"You alright? You starting to feel it?" I asked him, following his gaze. He was staring up at the full moon. "No, I was just thinking." He said, still staring and the moon. "About what?" Stiles asked as he put down the pen. "Senior year." Scott said, looked at Stiles. "Senior year? Come on, that's- that's nothing. It's gonna be easy." My brother stated as if it was something he'd already experienced. Scott began to sit up and he explained, "It's more like something Deaton told me once." He stops for a second.

"You ever heard of regression to the mean?" He asked us. Stiles and I shook our heads. "No, not really." I said. "It's basically his way of saying life can't ever be all bad or all good. You know, things have to actually come back to the middle." He explained. "So, think about the last few months, things have been.." "Good." I said finishing his sentence. "Exactly. Good, but not amazing." He said looking at me. Obviously, what Scott was trying to say was that he was worried of how normal things have been in Beacon Hills. "Yeah, but no one's tried to kill us in six months either." I felt a shiver run down my spine as Stiles said that. "Right. We've pretty much been in the middle for a while." He said looking down. I'm pretty sure what he's about to say wasn't gonna be good.

"Which means at some point, the scale has to tip one way or another. Things are gonna get really good again.." "Or really bad." Stiles and I said at the same time. It's kind of a thing we do a lot.

Just after that, thunder struck above us in the sky. I don't like this. I don't like it at all.

"Hey um, you guys think it's been long enough?" I asked looking at the two of them. "Yes." Liam spoke from behind us. Scott and Stiles had tied him up because they thought that he still couldn't handle a full moon. Me on the other hand, I felt pretty bad for Liam. Liam and I are pretty close, closer than you'd think, he's like... the brother I never had. I love Stiles to death and everything, but at times, he gets on my nerves.

"Hey! We're trying to have a conversation over here." Stiles shouts back at Liam, who was chained to a tree a bit behind. "You're two years older than me, and Skylar is only a year older than I am." It was true. I was supposed to be a junior this year but I skipped a year because of how high my grades were. "I'm fine. Just let me go." Liam said. I felt really bad for Liam, so I started walking towards him to remove the chains from around him while the other guys followed me.

"It's not that we don't trust you." Scott said as he took out the keys to the chains. "It's that I don't trust you." Stiles stated while raising his arm. I shot Stiles a glare and he shrugged as if saying, 'what?' "But after that last full moon-" "It was one slip up." Liam interrupted Scott. "A slip up? A dozen calls to the Sheriff's department about a monstrous dog boy running around Beacon Hills naked. You call that a slip up?" Stiles said while glaring at Liam. My brother and Liam didn't really get along that well, but you could obviously tell.

You'd think since Liam is my best friend that Stiles would at least try being nice to him but, nope. That's Stiles. "Liam, why were you naked?" I asked as I rose an eyebrow at him. "It was really hot outside, okay. Let me go." Liam said. "You sure you're okay?" Scott asked. "It won't happen again." "You're in complete and total control?" Scott continued. Liam nodded, "Yeah, complete and total." Finally, Scott had removed the chains and let Liam free.

。。。

I sat in the backseat next to Liam while Scott was in the passenger seat and Stiles drove.

"Is it a party?" Liam asked for the hundredth time. "It is not a party." Stiles answered him while keeping his eyes on the road. "What's at midnight?" Liam asked curiously. "Your bedtime." Stiles stated. Liam have him a look, and he was not impressed nor convinced. "Where are the other girls going?" Liam asked, with an attitude this time. "They're meeting us there, okay. Just stop-" "How come Skylar isn't with them?" "Well I'm sorry I didn't want to leave you with these two and probably be chained to that tree the whole night." This time, I answered. "Alright, enough questions." Stiles said, getting tired of Liam asking so many questions. "It's a senior thing. You'll know when you're a senior." He stated.

"You guys having trouble with your phones?" Scott asked. He's been trying to contact Kira for about 10 minutes now, but there seems to be no network or something. Before anyone got to answer him, the car started slowing down until it stopped.

"Stiles?" I looked at him questioning what was happening. "You out of gas?" Liam asked. "No it's electrical. Probably the alternator again." Stiles answered as him and Scott got out of the car to go check what was wrong. Even though Stiles' jeep can be a pain in the ass, I still love it. It holds almost all our high school memories. Stiles lifted the Jeep's hood, so I couldn't really see what they were doing, nor saying.

"So how are you handling the full moon?" I asked Liam. "Um... good." He answered hesitantly, looking down. "You sure, cause you don't look like it." He was quite. "Come on Liam, you know you can tell me anything." I told him while resting my hand on his shoulder. He started opening his hands, exposing his palms, and they had cuts and were full of blood, obviously because of his claws. "Oh god, Liam." I said looking at his palms.

"What do you do to distract yourself?" I asked and he lifted his headphones and started placing them in his ears. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck right by the car, and I screamed and ran to Liam's side. I may have a bit of fear of lightning. "Guys.." Liam called out looking to the front, and the lightning struck again. Liam and I looked at each other for a second.

"GUYS!" I called out again, only louder than when Liam did. "God, give us a second, please." Stiles answered back. Are you kidding? Did he not just see that? "Yeah guys, stay in the car, okay." Scott added to what Stiles said. Really?! Another bolt of lightning struck after that, except this time, it struck in front of the car close to the boys, far too close. Liam then tried turning the ignition and the car started. "Can we go now?"
