Mission retrieve a watch | successful?

"He's cute."

Y/n's POV:

I finish my last class of the day and leave the classroom with Lucas, unsure of what to do, because for once, I'm not backed up busy.

"Are we meeting up with Jose?"

"Yeah," Lucas says. "-she has Studio Arts last period today, so she'll meet up with u-"

Someone walked into Lucas so hard he fell backwards.

"Oh Merlin! I'm sorry!" The owner of the body that ran into Lucas says.

I'm about to help Lucas up, but the black haired boy beats me to it, as his arm is already outstretched.

"You're fine." Lucas mumbles and takes the boy's hand.

I pick up Lucas's bag that fell off his shoulder when he fell.

When I stand back up straight, Lucas's cheeks are tinged pink.

"I didn't mean to run into you...?" The boy says and let's go of Lucas.

Lucas realizes the boy was asking for his name and stumbles over his words. "uh, Blanchet- uh, I mean Forner, I mean-dammit! My name's Lucas." He finally spits out, red and flustered.

The corners of black-haired-boy's lips turn up.

"Nice to meet you Blanchet-Forner-Lucas, I'm Antonio. Again, sorry for running into you, but I have to go." Antonio nodded at me once, looked at Lucas once more, and continued on his way.

"What the heck just happened?" Lucas asked, looking at Antonio's fading figure.

"You stuttered. Big time." I replied.

Lucas glared at me and we kept moving.

I nudged him with my arm.

"He's cute."

Lucas's cheeks turned a darker shade of pink and he looked down, embarrassed.

"Stop."

Usually, I wasn't one to follow directions, but I didn't want to push Lucas, so I guess I'm turning a new leaf.

"Sorry..." I was curious as to why he said three names instead of two, so I asked, "Is your middle name Forner?"

"Uh, not exactly. I have a double last name: Blanchet-Former. My mums didn't want to choose."

"Ah..." I decided to change the conversation. "... so where are we meeting Josephine?"

Some of the pink started fading from Lucas's face.

"Oh, uh, the dining Pavilion. They usually have snacks out for two hours post curfew. So Jose likes to stock up."

I nod my head.

The girl does like her food.

We turn the corner and go through the glass hall to outside when I spot Chloé, Louise, and a dark haired girl I recognize from a few years ago, but I can't remember her name.

I stop Lucas.

"Why are we sto-" he begins to ask.

I put both of my hands on his arms. "Are you good at distracting?"

"Uh, I mean I guess so...why?"

I look at the three girls with their back to us, chatting animatedly.

"I need you to distract them," I point to Chloé and the other two. "-while I get my watch back from Ashford. Can you do that? Please?" I plead.
