So Lacrosse practice went exactly as planned. I never made it off the bench to anything, whereas Scott was put into goal. Without his supernatural reflex he was pelted by balls, however a little magical intervention prevented him from suffering abject humiliation. I cured him of his asthma, so he won't be needing an inhaler anymore, this helped him focus a bit but I couldn't go too overboard with pumping up his skills.

All in all Scott impressed, but Jackson won the duel, causing Lydia to erupt into applause while Allison looked at him concerned. I guess even without the wolf stuff she is still into him.

If I remember correctly tonight is the night that Allison, hits a dog in the rain and hysterically tries to get it treated at the vets. Scott who works there will hit it off with her and they will really bond. All I must do is convince him to ask her out to the movies and not go to the party. I need him inside and away from the woods. I need him and Allison safe from me and Peter.

We head back to my home, afterwards as I try and remember where everything is as I cook a late lunch. Scott is still down about losing his chance at being on the team, whining he complains " I can't believe Coach did that, I can totally be on the team. Just because I'm not Jackson doesn't mean.. I can play"

Laughing at this childish drama, I say " Scott, soul brother from another mother. Let's be honest we both suck but just like some plants take longer to grow, we're still getting ready to bloom. Jackson's at his peak. And unlike him, I don't plan on peaking in High School. The world isn't ready for us just yet. Our time will come, we just gotta be patient. " I say as I hand him a plate of spaghetti to much on, twirling the noodles with my fork, just before I'm about to take a bite, "And besides, that Allison chick , was totally checking you out. I'd much rather 'play' for her team. Than Beacon hills"

"Hey! So we're plants now? And I thought you only had eyes for Lydia" He jokingly responds

"Yeah my 10 year plan for Lydia is still ongoing. But that doesn't mean I'm blind" I recall how I had this vision board which mapped my life. It even had our kids name's on it. Too bad it never really came to fruition. I was close though, really close. I feel my heart shatter as I recall the day we lost our little one to the dagger of fate.

"Was Allison really looking at me?" His eyes unfocused and he looks a like a complete idiot drooling over her

"Yeah Scott. We are majestic, yet slow growing plants that will outlast and outshine all of the idiots on the team. Well almost all of them. Danny is pretty cool." I say speaking about my friend who always hated it when I manipulated him to get what I want. " And she was totally checking you out, mr Scott Mccall. I heard her telling Lydia that you're pretty cute and sweet" Now while that may be a lie, Scott has to believe he has shot at her, "I'm telling you. She's gaga for Mccall. She's clearly interested in you, I could she it when you handed her the pen"

"Really ? And by the way how did you know she needed a pen?" He asks

"Scott, my boy. Just because I'm crazy for a girl whose shown little to no interest at me for the past 10 years doesn't mean I don't have game. Unlike you, nerd. I can pretty much assure you that finding a girlfriend for Stiles is pretty easy. Like I told you before the only reason I'm at the bottom of the food-chain, is because I've been Scarlett nerded by my best friend of 16 years. Sure I could have traded up. But where's the fun in that?" I answer

"Yeah right, anyway do you think she would still be interested in me? I mean I didn't make the team?" Serious, how stupid is he, she clearly isn't interested in that. God, as they say men are idiots when it comes to women, by the time we work out some of what they actually want it's usually too late.

"Dude! It was her first day. You haven't done anything to upset her or forced her to do anything she didn't want. On the contrary you've been a total nice guy to her and gave her that shy smile all day long. Girls like to nurture, let her nurture. She's probably used to d.i.c.ks like Jackson who think they are the bee's knees. Guys like us, we win in the end. I hand him the Kafka book we read in English, "Or… you could ask her if she can help you with English. That's a harmless in, you can talk and get to know her. And then take it from there"

"Uhmmm Maybe" He doesn't sound too convinced

"Scotty my boy. I need you to promise me something. If by some miracle you bump into Allison outside of school, and it's just you two. Ask her out. Take her to movies or something this Friday. She could still be busy with unpacking or something, so don't ask to do something that will take all day. Do something small and short"

Laughing at me Scott nods, "Right (he drags saying it out) …. Because I'm going to bump into her outside of school.."

"I mean it Scott. You need to ovary up and promise me" I stare at him

"Overy up?"

"Yeah man. I mean those things literally give birth to human babies, the female reproductive organ. Is a strong one she is" I say the last line in a Yoda impression causing him to break out into a smile

"I guess I'll overy up then" He says, as we shake on it

Staying in tonight and studying, means we won't have to go to the woods, because there is no inhaler needing to be found. And there won't be any need to meet Derek, the sourpuss of a werewolf.

I need to get the plan into motion, though so I will be needing to start part 1 tonight. Helping Scott with the rest of the homework, I see him out before I reiterate one last time, "Remember Scott, if you see Allison you have to ask her to see a movie, you are not going to a stupid party, it has to be a movie"

Indulging me, "I promise Stiles! Anyway see you tomorrow for more try-outs"

I wave like a loon, as he drives his bike away managing to ram head first into the sidewalk, I wait for him to go around the corner. Now it is time to plan my evening.
