sempiternalisms It’s the last thing Melissa expects, a phone call from the school. Scott’s been doing better in all of his classes, has pulled his grades up from failing to passing. Not to mention, he’s not even at school today, having been recruited by Alan to go along on a road trip down to San Francisco to re-home one of the clinic’s dogs. So when the phone rings, she’s a little more than surprised, but she comes around quickly enough: the school can’t get in touch with John and Stiles has locked himself in the bathroom in the midst of what they think is a panic attack. Melissa’s listed on his emergency contact sheet and can she just come get him please. She’s on the road in less than two minutes. One of Stiles’ teachers is waiting for her outside, but she waves them off and jogs into the school, to the bathroom in question. “--Stiles. Hey babe, it’s Melissa. Can you open up for me?”
