Lucys POV
It was while we were on a day trip to the beach as a break from work when realisation dawned on me. Being the person I am I had to go and fall in love with my boss but what I realised that day, was that I am stupid. Lockwood would never love me, I am plain, ugly and boring whilst Lockwood on the other hand is talented, hansome and cunning. He can get anyone he wants with that smile of his and that personality why would he like someone like me.
So the decision was made, I Lucy Joane Carlye will forget about Anthony Lockwood and to do this I will date other boys.
A WEEK LATER
After racing down the stairs I find both Lockwood and George sat in the kitchen talking about tomorrow. I walk in flashing them my signature smirk and plonk myself down.
"So what are we doing today guys." I ask innocently.
"We are going to the fare remember."
"Oh um, Lockwood is it okay if I don't come" I ask my voice falters just at the end.
"Why Luce?" His perfect voice had a tint of sadness. WAIT PERFECT OH FOR GOD SAKE WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.
"It's my um cousins 16 birthday, she is having a ball and I said I would go with her." This was where I stood up and backed towards the door.
"Luce that's fine."
"Wait really."
I legged it upstairs while shouting as loud as possible.
"You can come if you want, but you need dates." I smiled to myself today is the day I get over Lockwood. I was going with my child hood friend Phoenix. I smashed through my door and skidded across the floor to my closet. Pulling out my ready made outfit I pulled it on. Then I sat for ten minutes staring at my short brunette hair. Eventually a hairstyle popped into my mind and after 5 tries I finally got my hair to look ok-ish. Then I got makeup out and for the first time in my life I put all my makeup on.
Then I found some black nail varnish and painted my nails. Before pulling on some brand new boots.
I made my way downstairs to find Lockwood and George in tuxedos and to my dismay a very happy looking Holly Monroe clinging to Lockwoods arm. At first they didn't see me but when they realised I was there Lockwoods jaw dropped even George was shocked. Whilst little miss perfect tugged on Lockwoods arm glaring at me. I gave her a small smile and walked out into the hall to find Floe looking in the mirror. Without saying a word I turned her towards me and got some make up out my purse. And sorted her out she smiles at me and I pull her into the kitchen. After some greetings are given to Floe she goes over to George.
"Can we go now." Lockwood says I shake my head little does he know my date is coming in a minute. When I was younger i will admit I had feelings for Phoenix. I hope I still do .
'Knock,knock' I'll get it I shout running to the door. I swing it open and there on the steps is my child hood best friend his dark hair is a bit like Lockwoods, he has his signature smirk and freckles over his face. I leap into his arms and giggle as he spins me round. The others come out shocked to see a tall boy holding me in his arms I awkward break the silence.
"Um.. Guys meet Phoenix."
"Hi I'm Lockwood" he sticks his hand out and as soon as Phoenix lets go of it he pulls it towards him. Then George,Floe and Holly greet him.
"Ok, now we can go." I smile at them as I grab Phoenix and pull him to the cab that has been sat there for 10 minutes now.
I can't help but notice 3 things.
One Floe and George look cute together.
Two Holly looks like a slut
And Three Lockwood keeps glaring at Phoenix.
