nobody calls me yeller
So.
School events.
He’d heard a thing or two about them. Namely the one about spiders.
Giant Harry Potter-esque spiders. Which makes the choice for today’s wardrobe easy enough. The fact that yellow is the color of Hufflepuff, and thus the color of Cedric Diggory, who dies during a school event, it should probably be enough to deter Stiles from the choice.
Nobody ever said Stiles was smart though. At least not as a compliment. It was always more like ‘too smart for his own good’, or critiques having issue with his sense of humor and calling him a ‘smartass’. That kind of thing. Always something tacked on to the word that’s usually taken in compliment. So its not that Stiles has any great love of arachnids (though they are kinda awesome), its more than he’s the type to tempt fate, see what it gets him.
And besides. How is he supposed to not get himself into this event when he’s literally never been part of a school event before? This school is full of freaks, that much is obvious from just a glance, but the hyper awareness and eager attitude Stiles is sporting as he approaches the group of students who are also geared to go on the field day? That’s probably a freakish thing in itself, because what young person has ever been this ecstatic about anything school related?
Try Stiles why don’t cha? Because that’s who can hardly contain himself as he waits en masse, swaying back and forth on the balls of his feet while tugging anxiously at the zipper of his jacket until the person next to him shoots a glare and moves away when Stiles shoots them a beaming smile. Some things don’t ever seem to change, but hey, not even that kind of rejection could dim his attitude right now. Not when the atmosphere of educational field trip is in the air.
