By Sunday night, Lydia actually feels like she's got some control of her brain again. She manages to spend some time with Stiles that doesn't include ripping each other's clothes off (okay, so, the ripping was mostly Lydia, but he'd snuck away to eat while she was asleep and when she woke up from that dream he was dressed and taking way too long to get undressed. So sue her) before sending him home. After all, they have school the next day and she is going to be on time, which means that Stiles can't be around to whine about it being too early or say something ridiculously sweet while she's getting dressed or...whatever it is he does in the mornings.
So she spends Sunday night alone catching up on homework, gets up on time on Monday morning and she's meticulous about her appearance on the best of days, but...well. She's in a good mood, okay? And since it's been a considerable time since Stiles has seen her in anything but pajamas (or naked and she's so sore but she can't be upset about it now), she thinks she's allowed to want to get a little dolled up. Fishing for compliments she is not, but there's nothing wrong with a girl wanting to impress her...whatever it is Stiles is now.
On the way to school, she stops to get herself a bagel (wheat, with strawberry cream cheese) and on a whim, tries to guess at one for Stiles (cinnamon sugar, with strawberry cream cheese. He seems like a the more sugar the better kind of guy). He's always surprising her with little stuff, so she thinks it's only fair to attempt to return the favor. She's just set the bag of bagels on the top shelf of her locker, starting to sort through the things she'll need for class while she waits for Stiles because he wasn't at his locker, when the locker next to her rattles.
And of course, Jackson doesn't wait for her to acknowledge his presence before he launches in to talking about his weekend (and she's not stupid, she knows he was in heat too and was undoubtably curled up with one or more of the resident cheerleaders or...something, so she's not interested in whatever lies he's trying to feed her and why). In fact, she manages to ignore him until he stops talking. And then leans in really close to sniff her hair. "You smell different. Why do you smell different?"
...Oh. Well. Wolfy senses. He must smell Stiles on her. The idea actually makes her smile a little and she shrugs. "I'm trying something new."
