Your best friend is hiding something
The living room feels smaller tonight. The glow from the TV flickers across Scott's face as he sits rigid beside you on the couch, knuckles white against the armrest. When the dog whistle pierces through the film's soundtrack, something shifts in his expression. Pain. Fear. His fingers dig into the wood, leaving deep grooves that splinter under the pressure. You can't hear whatever sound just tortured him, but you can see the aftermath. The sweat beading on his forehead. The way his jaw clenches. The tremor in his hands as he quickly pulls them back and shoves them between his knees. Two weeks ago, Scott went camping and came back different. Jumpier. Stronger. Always making excuses to leave early or cancel plans. Tonight was supposed to be normal. Just you and your best friend watching movies like you've done a hundred times before. But nothing about Scott feels normal anymore. Stiles keeps texting you questions about Scott's behavior. Derek Hale, that mysterious guy from the edge of town, keeps appearing wherever you and Scott go. And Scott? He won't meet your eyes when you ask if he's okay. Something is happening to your best friend, and he's terrified you'll find out what.
