What's this? Another chapter up so quickly? How can it be?!
I was feeling really inspired to write something, and I just decided to go with it! Hope for the few people who still read Lego Movie fanfiction that y'all enjoy this!
It turned out that Lucy had almost every lesson with Emmet, and if not Emmet then either Benny, Sweet or another girl called Watevra. They were all really welcoming of Lucy, and didn't mind calling her Wyldstyle at all.
Deep down, Lucy wanted to be called her her real name.
...
Maybe later.
Lunch was brilliant. Lucy- or Wyldstyle, as she was being called by everyone- was invited to join Emmet's friend group by Sweet.
Lucy blinked. "You- you want me in your friend group? Like, on the day you met me?"
Sweet grinned. "Yeah! You're really nice, Wyldstyle. Kindly edgy, but we've never had anyone like that before." She nudged my shoulder. "And I'm pretty sure Emmet's got the hots for you already."
She giggled. "Sorry, already taken!"
Wish I wasn't though...
Ok, her subconscious was out of control today.
She also learned a lot about the 3 other people in the group:
Benny was, like, borderline obsessed with space. As in, space posters, 95% of his books bring at least related to the topic, knowing stats about all the spaceships, model spaceship making... yeah. He wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up (or at least working for NASA in some way or other).
Sweet was also into space, but not as obsessed as Benny. They'd met at a lunchtime club about space and bonded almost immediately. Lucy almost melted at the cuteness of it.
Watevra was dubbed the 'Queen of Dating Advice'. She'd dated someone from almost every city, town and place you could name.
"There's one type of guy that she swears against, though," Sweet mentioned through a mouthful of pasta.
"Oh, yeah! I'm just not into Gotham City guys, y'know? They're so dark and brooding, always doing something really dumb," she said, faking a pout before breaking back into her signature smile.
Lucy grinned. "Oh boy, you would not like my boyfriend then!"
The table collapsed into laughter, and Lucy grinned. She'd said something acceptable! What an achievement.
She turned her head around, and in doing so, caught Emmet's gaze.
For a split second, he looked a mixture of shocked, dazed, hopeless and... sad.
But before she could blink, he was laughing along with the others like nothing had happened.
Lucy internally groaned.
She would have to restrain herself a lot these coming months.
When she got home, Lucy flopped onto her bed. She laid there for a few minutes, just taking it all in.
She'd made 4 new friends.
Those friends were really nice.
She hadn't been rejected, or picked on, or taken in by the queen bees of the school, as all the cringy 2008 teen movies she had watched told her these tales of woe.
Well, maybe she'd got that from that one time she watched Mean Girls.
Stay away from any potential Regina George's, Lucy mentally noted.
Well, it had at least predicted one thing right.
She'd found a guy.
The most frustrating part for Lucy was that he wasn't even hard to get. If he'd been a popular jock with a girlfriend, plenty of other jock friends and no interest in her whatsoever, then sure, she wouldn't be so annoyed.
But no, her heart had to choose the nicest, cutest, most easy to get guy in the entire school to fall for, didn't it?
Slow your roll there, Lucy, you've only just met him, her logic reminded her irritatedly. You don't just fall in love at first sight, that doesn't work.
What do you know about love?! the voice in the back of her head shouted back.
Neither of us exists, this is simply Lucy acting out stupid conversations to procrastinate.
...Well, yeah, but you don't have to say it!
Lucy sighed. "Can't you guys shut it?" She said aloud to herself.
Two very quiet 'Sorry's made their way around her head.
She turned her phone on, and got a ton of messages come through- mainly from Unikitty.
Actually, all from Unikitty.
Wow, that was a lot of messages from Unikitty.
The first being, 'How was your day?!'
And the last...
'OH MY GOSH IF YOU DON'T ANSWER ME RN WE ARE GONNA HAVE SOME TROUBLE WYLDSTYLE YA HEAR ME'
Lucy quickly called Unikitty, and immediately heard Unikitty's signature high pitched voice say, "Oh, hi!"
"Hey, Unikitty. I can tell you're bursting to ask questions, so ask away."
"Didyoufindnewfriends?Howmanylessonsdoyouhaveaday?What'syourclasslike?DIDYOUFINDAGUYTOREPLACEBATMAN?!"
Lucy began laughing. "Chill, Unikitty! Yeah, I found a couple of nice people, but they'll never replace you guy back home. Hey, maybe one day you can meet them! I've got 5 lessons a day, but there's double lessons, so _ughhh_. My classes are fine, there are nice enough people. I haven't really talked much, I mainly stayed around my new group."
"You haven't answered my last question."
"Well..." Lucy looked at her open sketchbook on the desk. It was on the page from this morning when she first met Emmet.
"Oh my gosh, you HAVE!" Unikitty squealed excitedly. "What's his name? What does he look like? Cute? Hot? Is he one of those really nerdy stereotypes from the movies?!"
"I've only watched Mean Girls once, so I have no idea what you're talking about."
Lucy giggled.
"But he's... nice. Really nice."
She drifted off for a minute, remembering the first look he gave her, the smile, his laugh ringing in her ears.
But then she remembered his face when she joked about Batman.
"But I can't. Not yet."
Unikitty groaned on the other side. "But why?!"
"I- I probably will end it with Batman soon. But my first day out of his sight I break things off? That's, that's too soon. Even you know that's too soon."
Unikitty sighed. "I know, I just... you know I don't like it, you being together."
She sighed again, but her voice perked up quickly.
"Richard and Nya are coming over tomorrow after school. Will you be able to call again?"
"As long as I don't have too much homework, it should be fine."
"Ok! Oops, gotta go, Puppycorn's calling for dinner. See you soon!"
Before she could say anything the phone beeped it's final farewell.
"Bye," Lucy whispered.
She smiled to herself, and checked the rest of her messages.
5 messages from Nya
1 message from Richard
2 messages from Sweet
Oh yeah, Sweet had asked if she could have her number. Lucy typed back a quick 'Hiya!' before continuing scrolling.
No new messages from Batman3
First day at a new school and already forgotten by your boyfriend, huh?
Sorry for putting Lucy through it, I just like torturing people xD
That sounds wrong... you catch my drift, hopefully.
