He nodded, handing me my phone back. For a few minutes, Stiles would throw the ball at Scott, for the most part, was handling it okay. It wasn't until he got hit hard, did he groan in pain. I kept a close eye on the phone as Scott's heart rate continued to climb as we went.

"Come on, Scott!" I called out to Scott, "Focus!"

"Having balls flying towards me isn't really helping," Scott answered.

"Come on, don't get angry, Scott, "Stiles called out next.

After a few very painful looking throws, I looked over to Stiles and told him, "I think you are enjoying this way too much..."

"Do you blame me?" he asked back.

Juliette shrugged and answered, "No, but try to take it down a notch. If he does end up shifting, you'll be the first he will go after."

He makes another hard toss as he asked, "But you'll keep me safe, wouldn't you?"

I looked up at him, a wide smile on my face, "Definitely. Who else would entertain me with sarcasm?"

"How about you two stop flirting," Scott called out to us, clearly not happy about any of this, "and maybe listen to Juliette's idea on taking it down a notch?'

Stiles and I blushed a bit, but I ended up laughing a bit.

After recovering, Stiles continued his harassment until, Scott fell on his knees. Juliette looked down at her phone and noticed Scott's heart rate at 158 and raising. Worried, Juliette got up from the grass and stood close to Stiles. I focused on Stiles and protecting him ready to stop Scott if I have to. The scent of a familiar blue polo colon pulled my attention to the side as I noticed Jackson watching in amusement.

The slow descent of beeping brought me back to my phone as I saw that Scott's heart rate is lowering.

Juliette rushed over to him as she exclaimed, "Scott, you did!"

"Scott?" Stiles asked, worried about his friend.

Scott continued to breathe heavily as he tried to control himself.

"Scott, you started to change," I told him, "From anger."

"But it was more than that," he told us as we got over to him, "It was like, the angrier I got, the stronger I felt."

"That's your wolf taking over," I reassured him, "Your animal side wanted power over you."

"So it is anger, then?" Stiles asked.

I nodded.

"Derek's right," Scott announced, "I can't be around Allison."

"And why is that?" I asked him, crossing my arms at him.

Stiles jumped into his theories as he asked, "Because she makes you happy?"

"No," Scott sighed, "Because she makes me weak."

I glared at him, "That's just bullshit, Scott. She's actually what makes you human. We need to rely on our emotional bonds in order to gain control, I learned that the hard way."

The bell rang and Scott rushed out of the field, saying he needed to go to the restroom before our next class. I was still angry as I pocketed my phone. I remember when I was younger when my mother cause me to get angry. It lead to many things, both good and bad. Once I began to understand, I figured out that I needed to rely on my human side to actually get through my change. Whether it was anger, pain, sadness, love, it all lead to the same thing, human emotions.
