LOCKWOOD

I hate him. George. Well, I don't hate hate him, im just extremely mad. He just had to go off and save Lucy. Lucy of course was grateful and kind towards him, and I hated it. I hated the lack of fights erupting from the two and their sudden closeness.

I locked myself in my room and cursed him silently.
"She probably likes him now. That was all she needed for her to start fancying him. Its unfair! I've done nothing but be their and help her. I even flirted with her." I blushed then my face hardened once more. " why can she just notice me!" I slammed my fists on the desk.

LUCY

I silently gasped. Lockwood thinks I fancy George?  An evil smile crept onto my face. I snuck back downstairs and ran for the office. There sat George with his mountain of books and donuts. He looked at me as I ran into the room. A smile on my face, wide as ever. He raised an eyebrow.

"What?" He said.
"Lockwood. Upstairs. Oh my god you have to hear this." I sat down across from him. He came closer. " Lockwood thinks I fancy you."
"What! No..."
"Yes! Now I have a plan-"
"I think I know where this is going. Im in." He smiled. We turned towards the door. We could hear Lockwood coming down towards the door. We looked at each other an nodded.
"George? Lucy? Where are you tw-" he stopped. He stared at me and George. I happened to be straddling Georges hips with my knees as his hand held my cheek. His other hand was on my back. We whipped our heads around and stared in horror at him. Well, fake horror. I jumped off George and he stood up behind me.

"Lockwood! We can explain!" I started but was cut off by his expression.

His face was pale and his eyes. They were so sad and rimmed with tears. He turned and left in a flash.

Me and George just stood there.

"We messed up." He said.
"Oh we messed up big time." I took off after him. I ran to his room but found it empty. I exited it and ran down the hallway towards the window. There he was, running down the street. Oh no...

It took me two hours to find him. I looked everywhere Lockwood-y. Every place he liked. I found him at the park. He sat facing away from me, towards a bunch of small kids playing what looked like freeze tag. I approached slowly, unsure of what to say. I settled with a calm
"There you are." He jumped up and spun around. His face was red and puffy. My hand shot to my mouth.
"Oh Lockwood." I had no words.
"I knew you liked him, I just didn't think seeing it would hurt this bad." A tear rolled down his cheek.
"No, Lockwood it was a joke. I- I heard you saying that I fancied him and-"
"You were ease dropping?"
"No! Yes. Maybe... Lockwood Im sorry. It was meant to be a harmless joke." I crossed over to him, brushing the tear away. He hugged me and held me.
"I didn't know what to think. It just hurt so much." He said breaking the silence.
"Im so sorry." I looked up at him.
"I love you Lucy Carlyle." He said softly.
"Really?"
"Yes..." He said almost scared.
I jumped up and captured his lips with mine.
"I love you Anthony Lockwood."
"Say it again."
"I, Lucy Carlyle, am madly in love with Mr. Anthony Lockwood." He smiled then the brightest smile I'd ever seen. Then he kissed me.
