"Ten bucks Scott's gonna fall." Sawyer said as she leaned towards her brother while they watched Scott and Allison climb a rock wall during PE. "Deal." Stiles said before shaking Sawyer's hand.ย 

A few seconds later Allison kicked Scott's feet out under him making him fall. Sawyer pumped her fist while Stiles groaned, "I'll take that ten bucks after class." She said, making him roll his eyes and suppress a smile. "Alright, next two! Erica and Stilinski!" Coach yelled, making Stiles and Sawyer look at him.ย 

"Which one?" They both asked and he looked at them, "Lady Stilinski." He said. "Ten bucks, you'll fall." Stiles said and Sawyer pointed at him as she and Anakin started to walk over to the wall, "I'm not confident enough for that." She said before walking over to the wall.ย 

Sawyer started to get her gear on before glancing up when Anakin walked up to Erica, lightly tapping his nose against her thigh, making Sawyer notice how nervous Erica looked. "You know you could probably opt out of this." Sawyer said, making Erica look at her for a moment, "I'm sure Coach would probably like to make bets on which Stilinski twin wins." Sawyer said and Erica shook her head slightly.ย 

"I'll be okay." She said softly and Sawyer raised her eyebrows, knowing about how Erica is epileptic. "You sure?" She asked and Erica nodded as Coach blew his whistle.ย 

Sawyer sighed and started climbing up the wall, she kept a slow pace just in case something happened. "Erica? You okay? Dizzy? Vertigo?" Coach yelled up, making Sawyer look down to see Erica not moving. "I'm fine!" Erica called out as Sawyer climbed back down to her. "Hey, you okay?" Sawyer asked and Erica nodded, "I'm okay."ย 

"Erica, y-you're fine. Just kick off from the wall. There's a mat to catch you." Coach called up but Erica shook her head, "I-I can't." She whispered. Sawyer gently grabbed Erica's arm. "Hold onto me and we'll both go down, okay?" Sawyer said and Erica looked at her for a moment before nodding and grabbing onto Sawyer's arm while Sawyer wrapped an arm around Erica's waist.ย 

Carefully, Sawyer kicked off making Erica's grip tighten as they slowly lowered down until their feet hit the mat. Sawyer helped Erica out of her harness and smiled reassuringly at her, "You're okay." She said, making Erica smile awkwardly at her.ย 

"That's it, Erica. Shake it off." Coach said and Erica nodded and started walking towards the doors while the other kids snicker at her. Sawyer took off her gear as she watched Erica walk away before sighing softly.ย 

A few minutes later, Sawyer was almost finished getting dressed in the girl's locker room, when she suddenly got a distant look on her face. "Erica... Erica... Erica!" She heard different voices whisper sharply, making her glance around. "Sawyer? You okay?" Allison asked and Sawyer didn't say anything as she slowly held her hand out to see it shaking.ย 

"Erica..." She whispered slightly before her eyes widened and she quickly ran out the locker room, making Allison grab Anakin's leash and run after her.ย 

Seconds later, Sawyer and Scott ran into the gym at the same time, right as Erica started to fall off the rock wall, making Scott quickly catch her. "Put her on her side! Put her on her side!" Sawyer said as she kneeled down next to them before helping Scott turn a seizing Erica onto her side.ย 

Erica tightly gripped onto Sawyer's arm as other students ran into the gym, "How'd you know?" Allison asked, looking at Scott and Sawyer. "I just felt it." They both said at the same time.ย

Stiles, Sawyer and Anakin walked into the cafeteria before sitting down at a table, across from a student named Boyd. "Boyd." Stiles said as he nodded at him, making Sawyer look at him weird at the face he was acting like they're doing some kind of drug deal.ย 

"You got the keys?" Sawyer asked and Boyd held out a set of keys making the twins smile. Stiles grabbed them and went to pull them away but Boyd didn't let them go. "This isn't a favor- it's a transaction." Boyd said and Stiles nodded, "Right. Absolutely." He said before pulling out a twenty dollar bill making Boyd give him a look.ย 

"I said fifty." Boyd said and Stiles pursed his lips, "Really? I- I remember twenty. I don't know, I have a really good verbal memory, and I remember twenty. I remember that distinct 'twuh' sound, 'twuh-enty'." Stiles said and Boyd clearly wasn't amused.ย 

"I said 'fifty'. With the 'fuh' sound. Hear the difference? If you can't, I can demonstrate some other words with the 'fuh' sound." Boyd said as he sat up, making Sawyer chuckle while Stiles nervously shook his head. "Uh, no. N-no. I think I'm recalling it now. Maybe I just got it confused with 'fuh'-orty." Stiles said, putting more money on the table and all Boyd did was eat a chip.ย 

"Come on, man. Have you seen the piece of crap Jeep that I drive?" Stiles asked and Boyd raised his eyebrows, "You seen the piece of crap bus that I take?" He asked and Sawyer nodded. "Got a point." She said before pulling out some money and sliding it over to Boyd, "An extra twenty for your troubles." She said, making Boyd smile.ย 

"You know, I like you Sawyer." He said, holding the keys out to her, making her smile, "Feelings mutual, pleasure doing business with you, Boyd." She said before she and Stiles got up and quickly moved over to the table where Scott sat.ย 

"We got 'em. I'll pick you up tonight after work and we'll meet at the rink. Cool?" Stiles said as he sat down before noticing Sawyer and Scott weren't paying any attention.ย 

He followed their line of sight to the doors of the cafeteria as Erica walked in. Although now she was wearing leopard print heels, a short pencil shirt, a white shirt paired with a leather jacket. Her hair was now curled instead of her messy waves and she had dark eyeliner around her eyes and bright red lipstick.ย 

The entire cafeteria seemed to turn their heads almost simultaneously as they watched her walk over to a table. She smiled at the two boys at the table before bending down slightly, grabbing an apple off the table and taking a bite. She smirked slightly, wiping her lips off as Lydia walked over to the trio's table, slamming her hands out on the table.ย 

"What. The holy hell. Is that?" Lydia asked and Sawyer awkwardly cleared her throat, "That's Erica." She said, making Lydia give her a look as she watched Erica walk out. The trio glanced at each other before quickly up and running off in the direction Erica went.ย 

They ran outside just in time to see Erica walk over to a black Camaro, she looked at the group before smiling and climbing inside. Behind the wheel, Derek turned to look at them before smiling and driving off.ย

Sawyer walked up to a set of doors before unlocking them. She and Scott pulled the doors open and Sawyer flicked on a set of lights, illuminating the ice rink before she turned around to look at Lydia as Allison, Scott and Stiles walked in. Lydia walked in and paused next to Sawyer as she glanced around before smiling slightly with raised eyebrows.ย 

Sawyer awkwardly sucked in a deep breath as Lydia walked away before looking down at Anakin.ย 

A few minutes later they were all sitting on the bleachers, Scott and Allison were towards the bottom while Stiles, Sawyer, Lydia and Anakin were around the middle. Stiles sat in front of the girls, next to Anakin while Sawyer and Lydia sat next to each other as they all were putting on their skates.ย 

"Could it be any colder in here?" Lydia mumbled as she rubbed her arms slightly, making Sawyer open her bag and pull out an orange sweater she had. "You can wear this." Sawyer said as she held out the sweater, making Lydia give her a look.ย 

"I'm wearing blue. Orange and blue? Not a good combination." Lydia said and Sawyer pouter slightly, "But it's the colors of the Mets." She said and Lydia just gave her a look. Sawyer nodded slightly before handing the sweater to her brother, "See if you can get this on Anakin." She said. She went to grab some shoes she bought for Anakin before noticing a pack of reese's, making her pull them out.ย 

She held them out to Lydia, making her look at them before glancing at Sawyer and humming slightly and shrugging as she grabbed them. Sawyer smiled to herself slightly as she pulled Anakin's shoes out, handing them to her brother before glancing at Lydia for a moment.ย 

"Um, maybe orange and blue is not the best, right, you know... Um, sometimes, there's other things you wouldn't think would be a good combination, end up turning out to be, like, a perfect combination. You know? Like, two people together... who nobody ever thought would be together ever..." Sawyer rambled slightly and Lydia tilted her head a bit before nodding.ย 

"No, I can see that." She said, making Sawyer look at her with raised eyebrows, "You can?" She asked and Lydia stared at her for a moment before nodding slightly.ย  "Yeah. They're cute together." She said, looking over at Allison and Scott making Sawyer awkwardly purse her lips and nod slightly.ย 

"Oh, yeah... them." Sawyer said and Lydia nodded, "Cute." Lydia said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly. "Cute. Adorable." She said before Lydia smiled at her and went back to putting on her skates. Stiles leaned back slightly, making Sawyer lean forward, "That was painful to listen to." He whispered, making her give him a look.ย 

"Shut up."ย 

A little while later, Sawyer, Stiles and Anakin stood by the wall of the ice rink, watching as Lydia flawlessly spun around on the ice. Lydia smiled and let out a deep breath as she stopped before skating over to the twins and Anakin.ย 

"Well? Come on!" Lydia said before grabbing Sawyer's hand and pulling her to skate with her. Sawyer's eyes widened slightly as she glanced back at her brother who smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "Have you skated before?" Lydia asked, still holding Sawyer's hand, "Uh- I had a skating phase as a kid that my mom would entertain every time I did well in school... Haven't really skated since though." Sawyer said and Lydia hummed and smiled at her.ย 

"That's cute." She said and Sawyer smiled at her for a moment before glancing back to see Stiles kind of being pulled by Anakin who was very happily running around the ice. All of the sudden Lydia stopped, making Sawyer stop and look at her as Lydia crouched down, picking up a blueish-purple flower petal.ย 

Sawyer furrowed her brows as she and Lydia slowly followed a trail of blueish-purple flowers and petals until they found one long stem growing out from the ice. "Wolfsbane..." Sawyer mumbled under her breath as Lydia kneeled down onto the ice. She looked at the plant for a moment before wiping away some ice shards on the ground to reveal Peter Hale underneath the ice, making Sawyer's eyes widen.ย 

Peter's eyes suddenly shot open as he slammed his hands against the ice, making Lydia let out an ear piercing scream. Allison and Scott quickly ran out of the photobooth to find Sawyer holding onto Lydia as she kept screaming while Stiles and Anakin quickly ran over to them.ย

Sawyer walked over to where Scott was sitting in the cafeteria watching as Allison walked off, "What'd you do now?" She asked. Scott sighed and went to answer but Stiles suddenly ran up to them, "Guys, do you see that?" He asked, pointing at an empty table. "What? It's an empty table." Scott said and Stiles nodded.ย 

"Yeah, but whose empty table?" Stiles asked and Sawyer stared at the table until realization crossed over her face, "Boyd."ย 

Sawyer, Scott and Stiles hurry for the school exit, "Stiles and I will go to the ice rink, see if he's there. And, if he's not at home, you call me, got it?" Scott said but Stiles paused at the door, "What?" Sawyer asked and Stiles sighed. "Maybe we should let him." She said hesitantly making Scott look at him confused, "Boyd, you know? You said Derek's giving them a choice, right?" He asked and Scott shook his head. "We can't." Scott said and Sawyer shrugged slightly.ย 

"You gotta admit, Erica looks pretty good... You know, the word "sensational" kinda comes to mind..." Sawyer said and Scott raised his eyebrows, "Yeah, how good do you think she's gonna look with a wolfsbane bullet in her head?" Scott asked, making her sigh and nod. "All we're saying is, maybe this one isn't totally your responsibility." She said looking at Scott.ย 

"They all are. And you know this thing's gonna get out of control. That makes me responsible." Scott said and Stiles nodded, "All right, I'm with you. And, I also gotta say... this new-found heroism is making me very attracted to you." Stiles said, making Sawyer chuckle and shake her head.ย 

"Shut up." Scott said as he slightly shoved Stiles, "No, seriously! Do you wanna just try making out for a sec? Just to see how it feels?" Stiles asked and Scott suppressed as walked away before they quickly followed.ย 

๐ŸฆŽย 

Sawyer quickly pulled up in the jeep outside of Boyd's house before getting out, "Stay." She said, pointing at Anakin before running over to the front door. "Hey, Boyd? Hey, Boyd? It's Sawyer." She said as she knocked on the screen door a few times before hearing someone walk up to the porch making her quickly turn around only to stop when she saw Erica.ย 

"Oh- Wow!" Sawyer said as she froze for a moment before stepping back while Erica chuckled and raised her eyebrows at her. "What are you doing here, Sawyer?" Erica asked and Sawyer awkwardly cleared her throat and rubbed the back of her neck, "Uh, nothing. I was just looking for, um-" She said before stopping when she tried to remember Boyd's name.ย 

"Boyd?" Erica asked, raising her eyebrows, making Sawyer nod and point at her, "Yeah. Yes. Boyd." Sawyer said and Erica squinted at her in amusement. "You know what you're doing right now that's kind of funny? You're only looking in my eyes." Erica said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly, "Um- That's what my therapist told me to do to work on my social anxiety." She said and Erica chuckled.ย 

"Except it's that kind of look where you're trying not to look anywhere other than my eyes... But you want to, don't you? You want a nice, long, hard... look." Erica said as she stepped closer to Sawyer, nearly chest to chest, making Sawyer suck in a deep breath before shaking her head slightly.ย 

"Not really, no." Sawyer said and Erica raised her eyebrows, "Oh... So, it's just my eyes?" Erica asked as she stepped back and Sawyer cleared her throat slightly. "Yes. You have beautiful eyes." Sawyer said and Erica smiled, "I have beautiful everything." She said, making Sawyer hum slightly.ย 

"And a new-found self-confidence. Congratulations, Erica. It looks good on you. But uh- I should get going. Can't leave a dog in a car for too long." Sawyer said and went to step around Erica but Erica grabbed her arm. "You're not going anywhere." She said, making Sawyer look at her, "Why not?" Sawyer asked.ย 

"You're having car trouble." Erica said as she held up the starter to the jeep, making Sawyer sigh softly. "You're gonna knock me out with that, aren't you?" She asked and Erica hummed slightly, "I'm supposed to... But like you said, you can't leave a dog in a car for too long. So I'm gonna leave you to have to fix the jeep for a while." Erica said.ย 

She handed Sawyer the starter before smirking slightly and walking away. Sawyer watched her for a moment before letting out a deep breath, "I love women..."
