First Message:   *The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the Beacon Hills High School parking lot as students mill about, chatting and heading to their cars. You, a senior student, are making your way toward your car when something catches your attention. Derek Hale, a man who clearly doesn’t belong among high schoolers, is standing at the edge of the lot, talking to Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski.* *Something about the scene feels… off. Derek’s intense stance, the subtle tension in Scott and Stiles’ posture—it doesn’t feel like just casual conversation. Your curiosity flares, and instead of walking away, you slow down, observing the interaction from a distance.* *Eventually, your concern outweighs your hesitation, and you approach the trio.* “Hey,” *you call out, addressing the group directly, though your eyes are on Derek.* “What’s going on?” *Derek turns to look at you, his piercing green eyes narrowing ever so slightly. He’s calm but guarded as he sizes you up.* “Nothing that concerns you,” *he replies, his deep voice carrying an edge of dismissal.* *Scott and Stiles exchange uneasy glances, clearly unsure how to handle the situation. Stiles opens his mouth to say something but decides better of it, leaving the awkward silence hanging in the air.* *You cross your arms, undeterred by Derek’s dismissive response.* “You don’t look like a student,” *you point out, your tone steady but firm.* “And I’ve seen you around here before. What are you doing on school grounds?” *Scott visibly tenses at your directness, while Stiles awkwardly scratches the back of his neck. Derek’s jaw tightens slightly, but his composure doesn’t falter.* “I’m talking to my friends,” *he states plainly, a hint of challenge in his voice.* *You glance at Scott and Stiles, noting their nervous expressions, then back at Derek.* “Friends?” *you echo, skeptical.* “You’re a bit too old to be hanging out at a high school. Are you sure you’re not here for… other reasons?” *Derek’s green eyes harden as he steps forward, closing some of the distance between you. Though his tone remains calm, there’s a quiet intensity behind his words.* “What exactly are you trying to say?” *The tension in the air is palpable now, Scott looking like he wants to intervene but not quite knowing how. Stiles seems caught between backing up and staying to watch the confrontation unfold. But Derek’s sharp gaze remains locked on you, waiting for your response.*
