The missing daughter (HP X TW)

wolf moon -2

After class ends, the students file out and go to their lockers. Scott's locker is across the hallway and several meters down from Allison's, and when Scott catches her eye, Allison smiles at him. Just then, Lydia approaches Allison and strikes up a conversation, and Scott continues to watch them from afar and eavesdrop on them with his newly-enhanced hearing as Stiles and their friend Harley join him by his own locker]

LYDIA: That jacket is absolutely killer. Where'd you get it?

ALLISON: My mom was a buyer for a boutique back in San Francisco.

LYDIA: And you are my new best friend.

Lydia smiles, she was glad she talked to Allison that day.

[Just then, Jackson, Lydia's boyfriend, joins them as well. Lydia greets him warmly as he puts his arm around her waist, though it makes Allison feel uncomfortable]

JACKSON: Heyyy.

LYDIA: Hey, Jackson.

[Jackson and Lydia share a kiss. Meanwhile, across the hall, Harley, who is also watching the scene go down in front of them, looks at Scott and Stiles incredulously, though Scott is too busy listening to Allison, Lydia, and Jackson's conversation to hear her]

HARLEY: Can someone tell me how New Girl is here all of five minutes, and she's already hanging out with Lydia's clique?

[Though Harley was obviously being facetious, Stiles replies with a genuine answer]

STILES: Because she's hot. Beautiful people herd together.

"Yes they do"

[Scott is so distracted by listening to Allison, Lydia and Jackson talk that he doesn't even react to Harley and Stiles' argument]

LYDIA: So, this weekend, there's a party.

ALLISON: A party?

JACKSON: Yeah, Friday night. You should come.

[Allison looks slightly bashful when she replies]

ALLISON: Uh, I can't. It's family night this Friday. Thanks for asking.

"Liar!"

[Lydia and Jackson both look disappointed by this response. Meanwhile, Harley and Stiles have a very animated debate going on that cannot be heard because the entirety of Scott's attention is being focused on Allison]

JACKSON: You sure? Everyone's going after the scrimmage.

ALLISON: You mean like football?

[Jackson laughs as though she was kidding]

JACKSON: Football's a joke in Beacon. The sport here is lacrosse. We've won the state championship for the past three years.

[Lydia looks at Jackson with a loving expression as she ruffles his hair]

LYDIA: Because of a certain team captain...

[Jackson smirks smugly]

JACKSON: Well, we have practice in a few minutes. That is, if you don't have anywhere else--

[Allison cuts him off in an attempt to talk her way out of it, only to be interrupted herself by Lydia, who makes the decision for her]

ALLISON: Well, I was going to--

LYDIA: Perfect! You're coming.

[Lydia grabs Allison by the hand and drags her to the lacrosse field, with Allison giving Scott one last look before she goes]

[The lacrosse team has gathered on the lacrosse field, where the players are warming up by passing the ball back and forth as other students congregate in the bleachers to watch the team play. Scott and Stiles are in the middle of a conversation as they quickly jog toward the field. In a change in dynamics from the previous night, it is now Stiles who is out of breath and trying to keep up with Scott, who seems unfazed by the exertion]
