Christine's pov
I skipped dinner last night. I just couldn't face Lucy or Theron. The next morning I dragged myself out of bed. My schedule was pretty much the same except no workout because of my ankle. I showered and got dressed. I took my time getting ready so by the time I got to the cafeteria it was already bustling with life. I got some food since I was extra hungry from skipping dinner. Not even the doctor could get me out of my room last night. No doubt a topic of conversation in one on one today. I looked for Lucy. She was sitting all alone so I decided to try to talk to her. She's my only friend here and I can't lose her. I walked over. "This seat taken?" I asked. She Sao nothing so I sat down. "Look Lucy-" "don't you "look Lucy" me! I thought you were my friend! You told me you didn't like him! And you told me you had a boyfriend! I thought you were like me!" I knew I deserved to be yelled at. "I am like you-" "really? Because Dom what I've seen your acting like them!" She pointed outside. "I thought maybe, just maybe I could make a friend who understood here! I thought you were that friend! But I guess I've seen who you really are. And if this is who you really are... I don't think I want a friend like that." She got quiet at the end. She stated to stand up. "Lucy wait-" "no! You know what? Just don't even talk to me! Goodbye Christine." Then Lucy spin around and left quickly. I put my head in my arms on the table. I screwed up bad. This was supposed to be a place to get away from all the drama and confusion. But instead there's even more. I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hey do you know what's wrong with Lucy?" Theron. Great just the guy I didn't want to see. "Your what's wrong with her!" I snapped. He took a step back. "I'm sorry. I'm just really confused right now." I said quietly. He sat down. "It's okay. But what is wrong with her?" "Look Theron. About what happened yesterday, it can't happen again. I have a boyfriend and I shouldn't have done what I did. And it really hurt Lucy." He nodded but still didn't understand. "It's cool. I understand. But what does that have to do with Lucy?" Ugh do I have to spell it out?! "Don't you see it? She likes you!" He looked surprised. "Really? She likes me?" "Duh! She's always staring at you! And I told her I didn't like you and then I kissed you and she thinks I lied to her." "But did you like me." "Yes. No. Maybe. I don't know everything's been really confusing lately! But she's my friend and I have to make it right." I could tell he wasn't telling me something. "What is it?" I asked. "Nothing. I just can't believe she actually likes me! I never thought she would notice me!" What? "Wait. Hold up. You really like her?" "Yeah! I was too afraid to say anything but if she likes me too then I can tell her!" "Seriously?! I kissed you and made her feel bad and went though all this trouble when you liked her the whole freaking time?!" I was very annoyed by this. "Yeah. Sorry." "Whatever. That's not the point. The point is we have to get her to forgive us." We left and went to her room. When I knocked on the door there was no answer. "Lucy come on open the door. We need to talk." Still no answer. "Fine. Don't open the door, but I'll just keep on knocking until you do." The door opened a crack and Lucy peeked out at me. "Five minutes." The door opened all the way and me and Theron went in. "Lucy. I'm so sorry. I knew that you liked Theron and I kissed him anyways. It was a jerk move and I wished it hadn't happened the minute it did. Your my best friend and I can't lose you. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but I'm asking it. Please at least don't be angry with me anymore." She looked at me. Then at Theron. "I'm sorry too. If I had just told you the truth from the beginning none of this would have happened." Theron said. "What truth?" Lucy asked. "That I liked you all along. I was too afraid to tell you earlier but I really like you Lucy. I only hung out with Christine because I thought you weren't available." Lucy crossed her arms. "So you treated my best friend like a second choice?!" So I am still her friend. "No! It's fine! I don't care!" I tried to save him. "Wait. Did you say you liked me all along?" She suddenly caught on. "Yeah. Your smart, funny, pretty. I thought someone like you would never like someone like me." She blushed hard. They just stood there staring at each other and so I just quietly left so they could talk alone. As I walked back to my room I was in a really good mood. I helped my friend get herself a boyfriend! Sure it was a little bumpy getting there, but hey, we got there. I laughed to myself at the thought of how easily this all could have been avoided. If we had all just been honest with each other. But we all gotta learn how this life thing works at some point right?
