HIYA!
It's me again! again. lol
there's a slight POV change this chapter, so I hope y'all don't get confused :)))))
QUICK NOTE!: This is a re-upload. I edited it because I wasn't very happy with the chapter. (And also because self-harm isn't good)
It had been a week since she'd come to Bricksburg High.
Only a week since she'd first met Emmet.
A week.
She'd gotten 3 texts from Batman.
Over an entire week.
7 days.
168 hours.
Was he even trying to keep her any more? He was probably having fun with some other girl.
Lucy sighed.
The hardest part of it was that she physically couldn't break it off yet. She would be called out as just moving as an excuse.
You're going to have to do something about it, Lucy. You don't like Batman anymore. Logic.
'Anymore?' SHE NEVER LIKED HIM! IT WAS ALL ABOUT STATUS! Lucy, you have to do SOMETHING about this! The other voice, which she had decided to call Rose for convenience's sake.
We talked about this, true love doesn't-
OH MY GOSH JUST SHUT UP-
"You're both going to be quiet, otherwise I'm going to play the catchy song."
Silence.
Lucy grinned victoriously. "Good, I don't want that in my head either."
She moved over to her desk and opened her sketchbook.
She drew for Man Upstairs knows how long, before she finally slumped over, pencil still connected to the page, head on the desk.
"Are... are you ok, Wyldstyle?"
Lucy jolted awake, eyes wide. "Wh-whuh? Where am I?"
Emmet looked at her concernedly. "It's lunch, and you were fast asleep. Have you been sleeping ok recently?"
Lucy gasped.
"What happened earlier?!"
Emmet looked even more confused now. "Uh, school? The others are still in the lunch line, but you brought in your own, and so did I, so we sat down out here. We were talking for a bit, and then I asked you a question and you were flat out. Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," Lucy mumbled, propping up her head with her hand. "Everything at home is fine, and everything, in general, is fine. Is that ok?!"
She said the last bit a lot louder than she intended to and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Sorry..."
Emmet smiled. "It's ok, you're just tired. And probably cranky. We don't have to talk if you don't want to."
Lucy shook her head. "No, I don't mind talking. It's fine."
Emmet grinned. "Ok, so, I was thinking. Benny and Sweet's 1-year anniversary, and maybe we could- "
'Everything Is Awesome!'
Lucy jolted up for the second time that day, shocked by the sudden noise.
Emmet grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, it's my ringtone." He answered the call, and began talking.
Lucy stared at Emmet in shock.
Not him too. Everyone else in the world, but not him.
Imagine if she told him it was her singing that.
She grinned.
Maybe life in Bricksburg wasn't going to be so hopeless after all.
Click.
The door to Benny's room shut quietly.
"Hey, you still up?" Emmet whispered.
Benny poked his head out from under his bed covers. "Yeah, why?"
"Can you talk for a bit?"
Benny frowned. "Yeah, why?"
Emmet sighed and sat down on the bed. "I'm... I'm worried about Wyldstyle. She's been really distant these past few days. And I'm worried about her."
Benny propped himself up on his hand and smiled.
"You're in love."
Emmet's eyes bulged out. "That's completely irrelevant to the topic!"
Benny smirked. "Yeah, it is. But you are."
He started chanting "Emmet's in love' over and over again.
"Is this payback for when you met Sweet?" Emmet asked, rolling his eyes.
Benny nodded. "Brilliant, brilliant payback."
Emmet shoved his shoulder playfully. "Oh my gosh, you're so annoying."
He sighed. "But dont you think she's been kinda not here? I mean, I know it's only been a week since she started, but..."
Benny sighed as well. "I guess so. I get that kind of vibe off her, y'know? But I think you should just talk to her. We've only just met her; give her some time to work out whether she wants to stay in our group."
Emmet smiled. "Thanks, Benny."
