Deep breaths in an out, she reminded herself as she walked through the school doors as steady as her legs could carry her. Megra felt the prickling sensation of being watched from every corner, she couldn’t help glancing over her shoulder to make sure there wasn’t a knife flying her way or a stun gun with her name on it.

Calm down, she heaved another breath; oxygen consumed her lungs and gave her a small rush that calm her for a moment before the anxiety was back again. Just when she reached the intersecting corridor to the entrance a loud voice called out her name.

“Meg!” She flinched unsuspecting and pivoted instantly, her looming fear faded at the sight of a familiar tall boy with honey brown eyes running in her direction with Scott trailing behind him.

“Stiles!” she exclaimed a grin brightening up her face, he reached her and took a moment to catch his breathing before returning her smile.

“You have no idea how happy I am to see your smiling face!” He sputtered still out of breath, she was taken aback by his words, and they missed her?

Scott rushed over just as she was struggling to form words; he regarded her with his chocolate brown eyes that were soft in relief.

“Honestly Meg, I thought we would never see you again.” He panted fiddling with the straps of his back pack, Meg smiled and shook her head at their over dramatics, she wasn’t missing for that long.

“Aww you guys really do care.” She teased nudging her elbow into Stiles side and then playfully punching Scott on the arm. Stiles immediately sensed the doubt underlining her words, she didn’t believe them and she was mocking them at an attempt to cover up her own awkwardness.

“Don’t say stupid things.” He found himself muttering, surprised by his own stern tone, Meg froze her smile disappearing for a moment as she stared up at them, analyzing them.

“You guys were really worried about me.” She mumbled under her breath in wonder, her head tilting to the side while trying to process the information. Scott rolled his eyes and Stiles snorted, they didn’t understand why she was so shocked, then again she didn’t know they both haven’t been able to sleep till they got to school Monday morning to see her.

“Of course we were, we still are, now that we know they are targeting you too.” Stiles retorted with much seriousness that Meg couldn’t help but find heart-warmingly adorable. She grinned and laughed while shaking her head her fear and anxieties fading away at the flustered faces of her two good friends.

“FISH man, wanna hug it out?” She responded with her arms spread waiting.

“I don’t—“ Ignoring Stilinski’s protest Meg hugged them both tightly, Scott laughed and patted her back while Stiles rolled his eyes, his arms forced to his side.“Aaand you are going to hug me anyway.” He drawled and she chuckled raising her head to meet his.

“You know me so well,” Stiles couldn’t help but smile and return the hug.

“What did you mean by FISH?” Scott asked, she parted her lips to answer when a figure behind her spoke up.

“F*ck It Shit Happens” Erica stated giving the two her usual blunt stare. Meg perked up at the sound of Erica’s jaded voice and turned to face her, Isaac and Boyd stood behind the blonde, practically looming over Meg.

“Hey it’s my gang!” She exclaimed merrily and they began to exchange words, Scott and Stiles stood back and watched them, both equally amazed by how typical she was—as typical as someone like Meg could be—Stiles stare was more intense than Scott’s
