A Blessing in Disguise 2 | COMPLETED

Ship

Jay and Lizzie entered the district first, Hailey was about to enter but she got a bad feeling again but now she felt like someone was watching them. She looked at the street in front of the parking lot, it looked the same as what she saw a while ago. "Hailey," Lizzie calls Hailey in a worried voice, as she looks back from the staircase and asks,"you ok?" Hailey looks and nods at Lizzie as she tries to shake the bad feeling away, maybe it was just her being paranoid but just to be sure she gave the street one more look and it still looked the same so she went in the district.

Lizzie already went ahead after Hailey nodded at her and she quickly went to the break room. A while ago, she left the break room so fast that all the homework she was doing was all over the table, today was the kind of day that she actually liked doing her homework. She started keeping the papers and notebooks that were on the table, as she was placing the last notebook in her bag, Hailey walked in.

"Hailey," Lizzie says as she wears her backpack and turns to look at Hailey, "Vanessa and I talk a lot, we talk about her past, about you guys," Lizzie giggles nervously as Hailey gave her a death stare, "Anyways, whenever I try to talk her about Kevin or even bring up his name, she immediately tries to change the subject and a while ago when we were downstairs, they were beside me and I—," Lizzie stops as Hailey started laughing softly, she gave Hailey an annoyed look, "What?"

"Why are you so curious about our love lives," Hailey asks while smiling at Lizzie. A big smile immediately formed on Lizzie's face which confused Hailey a lot and Lizzie says, "I didn't really say anything about love lives, Hailey." Hailey froze like she was a deer caught in the headlights, Lizzie was still beaming with excitement at Hailey, "The ship is sailing, ladies and gentlemen. I repeat the Upstead ship is officially sailing," Lizzie chants as she happily exited the break room, she knew that everybody had already gone home so she didn't really care if her voice was that loud.

Hailey looks at Lizzie weirdly, "What are you talking about?" Lizzie stops chanting as turns around to look at Hailey, "What? I thought we were going home?" Hailey walks up to where Lizzie was standing and eyes her, she couldn't really raise one eyebrow so she just raised both her eyebrows at Lizzie. "What," Lizzie asks, still smiling. "What the hell is an Upstead, that's not even a word," Hailey says. Lizzie was still smiling while she asked, "Do you want a serious answer?" Hailey gave her a 'duh' look, Lizzie smiled mischievously, "You're right Upstead is not a word but it certainly means perfection," Lizzie says in a dramatic voice, "You see, your last name is Upton and your partner is Halstead and together, we have Upstead!"

Hailey eyes Lizzie, "Where do you even get that?" Lizzie rolled her eyes as she said, "Ugh, Hailey, it's called a ship and I bet when a lot of people knew who you guys are and see how you guys are, they'll probably also ship you guys." Hailey softly laughs, still not fully understanding what Lizzie was trying to say but she puts her arm around Lizzie as she guides her downstairs and says, "Let's go home, smarty pants."
