"Why am I here?"

Lacey lies back where she's sitting on the hood of Stiles' Jeep beside Scott. "Because he's your brother." Stiles responds, jerking his head towards the tree. "Alright, so, I found some cool two bedrooms in the Mission District, but they're pretty expensive. A couple in Haight and Ashbury. Also expensive." Stiles says and Lacey rolls her eyes.

"What about Berkeley? Don't a lot of students live around there?" Scott asks.

"Yeah, yeah, we could try Nob Hill." Stiles suggests. "But, the Jeep would probably burn through a lot of clutches." Stiles says.

"You're bringing the Jeep?" Scott asks.

"God, Scott, why don't you just kick him in the balls?" Lacey asks.

"You know the plan, okay? No one gets left behind. That's the plan." Stiles says. "Lydia's not gonna have a problem getting into Stanford. Kira's thinking USF. Malia's, uh, gonna, you know, she'll figure something out, okay? Lacey's," He trails off, looking at the blonde.

"Lacey's not getting her hopes up until she finds out she's passed summer school." Lacey responds.

"Okay, Lacey is also gonna figure something out. The plan's perfect." Stiles says.

"Or we could also wait until we actually get into college and then figure out where to live." Scott suggests.

"I have a vision, dude. Okay? And it is a beautiful vision. Don't ruin the vision." Stiles says.

"Hey, even if Mal and I don't get in, we can still move with you and get jobs instead." Lacey suggests. 

"Okay, we can check out East Bay. Haven't looked at Oakland yet, you know." Stiles says, looking up at Scott who was staring at the moon. "You alright? You starting to feel it?" Stiles asks and Scott shakes his head. 

"No. Just thinking." Scott responds. 

"About what?" Stiles asks.

"Senior year." Scott responds.

"Senior year, come on, that's- that's- That's nothing. That's going to be easy." Stiles says.

"It's more like something Deaton told me once." Scott responds, sitting up. "You ever hear of regression to the mean?" He asks.

"No, I don't think so." Stiles responds and Lacey looks back and forth between them. 

"It's basically his way of saying that life can't ever be all bad or all good. You know, eventually things have to come back to the middle. So, think about the last few months. Things have been good, right? But not amazing." Scott says.

"Yeah, but no one's tried to kill us in six months either." Stiles adds.

"And I really am liking that. Because assassins felt like a very extreme thing to be thrown into." Lacey says, checking her phone when it buzzes before sighing when she sees an Instagram notification.

"Right. We've been pretty much in the middle for a while. Which means, at some point, the scale has to tip one way or the other. Things are gonna get really good again," Scott says.
