Lucy's P.O.V
I put the last binder in my backpack. It was the last day of school, and our lockers have to be spotless. I personally thought cleaning them out was stupid. We get assigned the same one every year. I yank my heavy backpack onto my shoulders.

As I turn around to look for my friend, David, my locker slams shut. I quickly turn around, only to see David's brother, Seth, standing in front of my locker.

"Excuse you!" I snapped. He always stood by David's locker, and it was kinda creepy.. "Seth, have you seen David?" I hadn't seen David all day. I always worry when David skips classes.

The last time he skipped class, he was is a bathroom stall, crying. Apparently, two boys flushed his hair gel down the toilet, (those two boys had to help the janitor for 2 months, and they had to buy David more hair gel.) David loves his hair gel, he just loves his hair.

Everyone picks on him because he's gay, and it makes me so angry! I don't understand why people think it's bad for a boy to like another boy! If I can except it then why can't everyone else? Well, I guess it was easier for me to accept because I have 2 moms...

"Not since this morning, but I need to talk you! Follow me!" Seth said. He grabbed my hand and led me to the janitors closet. Seth locked the door behind me.

"Okay, what?" I crossed my arms.

"So our grandfather died last night, and we don't know how to tell David. So will you tell him?" Seth said.

I immediately felt sorry for Seth and David. David loved his grandfather so much. Their grandfather was the first was to actually accept David for who he is. (I was the second.)

"Okay, so 1 I'm sorry for your loss." I said as I patted him on the shoulder. "And 2 no! I can't do that to him! When my fish, Mr. Gubbels, died, I could barely tell my moms!"

Ah, I remember Mr. Gubbels. He was the first pet my Mama Val bought me. Then my Mama Ali felt guilty for not getting me a pet for my birthday, so she bought me a cat that I named Mr. Snugglepuff. Mr. Gubbels and Mr. Snugglepuff didn't get along very well.....

"Lucy, will you at least come over when we tell him? He'll really need someone to talk to, and you understand him." Seth grabbed both of my shoulders. He was taller than me, I actually had to look up just to see his face.

I looked around the room. I hated seeing David upset, but I know really he needs me right now. "Yes." I said. "I'll come."

Seth leans down, his face his in front of mine. "Thank you." He said. I nodded, waiting for him to back away, but he didn't. Instead he got closer, I froze.

Then he kissed me. He held my head close to his. The kiss felt like it was never going to end. I honestly didn't want it to. Seth is the most popular guy in school! If we dated then people would stop calling me untalented and ugly! Seth could help me be famous.

It was almost like a fairytale until, I realized something.... I slapped him.

He quickly backed away. "Lucy, what the heck?!"

"You have a girlfriend!" I yelled. I unlocked the door and ran out, leaving Seth in the janitors closet. As I run, I start to look for David. He's standing by his locker. I rush over to him.

"Davie! There you are." I smiled at him. We gave each other nicknames in 5th grade. He's Davie and I'm Lucy Goosie.. We were like 12 when we came up with those.. So creative..

I decided that I'm wasn't going to tell him about Seth. David would freak if he found out!

"Hey Lucy Goosie! So tonight, my sister and I are having a small party in my basement to celebrate the last day of school, and you're coming, wether you like it or not." David closed his locker, turns to me dramatically, and fixes his quiff. He smiled back at me.
