"Yeah, I guess someone from back home," Scott admitted. He'd been rushing to leave class, mostly, but truthfully, his destination would have been Allison or Stiles anyway, and that covered both of them. It was weird to have someone who didn't really know him suddenly interested in his life. He fidgeted, wanting to go find his friends and get rid of this uncomfortable feeling he was still getting.

But maybe it would be polite to say something back, and found himself saying, "Do you have anyone you know here?"

He didn't even know this guy's name. Maybe he'd ask that before he left.
