7: Making friends isn't always easy

With her naturally wavy hair pulled up in a high ponytail. Paige listened to Scott explain his dream to her and Stiles in complete detail. Her mind was in and out during some parts since he seemed to keep in the sexual aspects of his dream. Something that she did not want to even think about because he was practically a brother after the many years of being his friend.

"So..." Stiles finally voices himself, "You killed her?"

"I don't know." Scott tells them both quickly with a frightened expression, he was genuinely rattled up over what happened, "I just woke up. And I was sweating like crazy, and I couldn't breathe. I've never had a dream where I woke up like that before."

"Really?" Stiles questions in disbelief then hums out, "I have. Usually ends a little differently."

Paige instantly contorted her face up, "What does that mean?"

Scott was just as disgusted as Paige at this point, giving his male best friend a look of pure horror, "A, I meant I've never had a dream that felt that real, and B, never give me that much detail about you in bed again."

"Oh-" Paige let the realization hit her before the disgust overwhelmed her facial features, "Oh! Ew! Gross, Stiles, I never want to hear that again."

Stiles looked between them and nodded curtly, "Noted. Let me take a guess here-"

Scott quickly stopped Stiles before he could voice his thought out loud, "No, I know, you think it has something to do with me going out with Allison tomorrow, like I'm gonna lose control and rip her throat out."

"I wasn't thinking that." Paige says absentmindedly while playing with the end of her sleeve, wondering if she had some snacks in her locker. Possibly her lacrosse locker, but she wouldn't be in there for a while and she was craving something now.

"Neither was I."

Paige stops and looks up at him, "Yes you were. You're not optimistic at all. You're a pessimist so of course you're gonna think of the worst case scenario for every situation."

Stiles pushed at Paige making Scott step between them. He grumbled and admitted, "Fine. Yeah, that's totally what I was thinking." He instantly felt bad after seeing Scott's downcast expression, "Hey, come on, it's gonna be fine, all right? Personally, I think you're handling this pretty freakin' amazingly. You know, it's not like there's a lycanthropy for beginners class you can take."

Paige tapped her chin in contemplative thought before says with a low high pitched voice since she knew this would make Stiles explode, "But there could be a teacher..."

"Who, Derek?" Stiles' jaw dropped open at the very suggestion, "You forgetting the part where we got him tossed in jail?"

"I know that but Scott is freaked out and I just wanna help him feel better." Paige defends her suggestion, feeling rather solemn. She needed something sweet to lighten her day. "And we don't even know if Derek is really the culprit, so he could help us... if he doesn't want to kill us for throwing him in jail..."
