Inspired by after the movie

Derek had been going to Whittmore prep since preschool. Whittmore prep had 4 different schools, a preschool, elementary, junior high and high school. Each was more prestigious than the last. It was ridiculously expensive to get in which meant only the wealthiest families attended. Derek had been in the same tiny classroom as his peers for almost 14 school years. They were basically his family. Since it was his grade 12 year and everyone in his class had grown up together this meant new comers weren't very welcomed.

Which meant when Stiles Stilinski arrived at Whittmore prep he wasn't exactly given a friendly welcome. To make matters worse he was a scholarship kid or as the Whittmore prep students called it a charity case for the sake of publicity. They weren't wrong either, Whittmore prep was attended by so many children whose parents were in the spotlight and having a scholarship student every year made the school look good in the eyes of the public.

Every kid wanted to attend Whittmore because it opened up so many opportunities for post secondary and jobs in the future. Scholarship kids usually didn't last more than a year, they could never make friends and the teachers were extra hard on them. They ended up not doing so well in school and dropping out.

Stiles was determined to be different, he need to end up top of his class to get a scholarship to an Ivy League school, plus his father not having to feed him for a year would save some money. Stiles father was the sheriff of their small town. It didn't pay very much, which meant money was pretty tight. Even the light bit of money they could save would make a huge difference.

"Hale," Jackson called after Derek.

"Yes Whittmore?" Derek replied. Whittmore as in Whittmore prep. Jackson's great great grandfather started the school which meant Jackson's family was loaded just from tuition.

"Theres a new charity case this year." Jackson told him frustrated. "My father insists we have to have them every year, but frankly I've gotten a little sick of them."

"Were in our final year of school, just one more year and we never have to deal with the scholarship kids ever again."

"I'll see you tonight at the party," Jackson smiled and left to catch up with his girlfriend Lydia.

Derek rolled his eyes at the two. Jackson followed Lydia around like a puppy dog. Lydia was basically the only girl that M. Whittmore, Jackson's father, approved of. She was a Martin, the Martins were big Hollywood stars so her family was not only rich but extremely famous.

Derek just started on his way to English. He had one more class before his first day was over which meant an amazing party. It was always held at Jackson's house, Jackson lived about three minutes away from all the dorms. Obviously Jackson Whittmore couldn't stay in a dorm room like a peasant, so he had his own house.

Stiles first day was unexpected to say the least. Every one was rude to him and that's putting it lightly. The students were all stuck up rich losers. Stiles met Allison Argent in second period. She was nice enough to sit by him in math and invite him to the party that night.

"My best friend Lydia's boyfriend is hosting the party. He's the son of Aaron Whittmore, the owner of this school," Allison explained as they walked over to Jackson's house. "He does this every year its a tradition."

"He won't mind if I come?" Stiles asked unsure.

"Everyone in the grade is invited don't stress too much Stiles, try to have fun."

"Alright," Stiles took one more big breath before heading into the house.

"Everyone this is Stiles." Allison brought Stiles over to some couches where all her friends were sitting. "This is Jackson, Lydia, Kate, Erica and Boyd."
