Dont you think these two resemble Lockwood and Lucy a bit! 😱😍

                          
LUCY
The next day 6th period rolled around and I was left alone. I sat down at my desk, put my feet up and closed my eyes. 
In this school I had the same class with the same people all day, every day. These were the kids that knew what they wanted to do, and it was art. 
My schedule went a but like this:
Period 1 was the lesson (basically art techniques)
Period 2 was the demonstration 
Period 3 was when I let them try 
Periods 4&5 were a mix between period 1& 3
Period 6 was lunch 
Period 7 was the end of the day when we wrapped everything up and I sent them in their way. 
It was a tiring day. I had only closed my eyes for what seemed like 5 seconds when I felt someone nudge my shoulder. I looked up and came face to face with Lockwood. 
"Hello sleeping beauty!" He said. 
"Mmmm." I closed my eyes again. I felt him lips on my forehead for just a second then he pulled away. 
"Sorry." He mumbled. I looked up at him. He started to walk away when I jumped up after him. 
There was no denying that I liked him. I always thought of that as unprofessional and wrong but time to time my mind would drift to him and I found it exceedingly difficult to change the subject. 
"Hey!" I said. He turned around. 
Now what do I do? 
"Ummmm... hi." I looked away. He took my hand nervously, hesitantly. I looked up and into his eyes. His face nearing mine. I found myself growing closer to him as well. We were an inch apart now. I could feel his breath on my lips. He stopped.  We heard a noise. 
"AWWWWWWWW!!!!!" Screamed the class. We jumped up and away from each other screaming as we did so. The class was laughing at us. My face burned bright red. I looked at Lockwood and found him red faced and very embarrassed. He briskly walked to the door and was gone in a flash.
"Alright enough of that! Back to work!" They were very chatty after that. I stood at the front of the class when Holly came up to me. She spoke so loud that the class stopped and watched us. 
"I saw what you did." She said, hurt sparkled in her eyes. 
"Im confused-" 
"I SEEN ALL OF THAT! After everything I told you, after everything we've been through!" 
"You seem to have forgotten that I very much dislike you." 
"Ohhhhhhh." The class whispered. 
"You knew I liked him! How could you kiss him?"
"As a matter of fact we didnt kiss," I looked at the class then back at Holly "just ummm.. came close to it." 
"Oh shut it!" 
"Can you leave im trying to teach my cla-" 
"You just dont care! You dont care! Do you!?" 
"I care about him." 
The class practically died then and there. 
Holly looked mortified. 
"You little b-" 
"Do not curse in my class!" I yelled over top of her. Holly collected herself and it seemed for only a second that she was up for a civilized conversation, but that was knocked out the window when she came forward, and slapped me. 
Or so she tried. I merely stepped out of her way and she missed me entirely. The momentum from the swing brought her forward and she tripped over my foot. Which I stuck out. To trip her. The class was laughing and yelling. I smiled and waved a hand for them to settle down. 
"You done?" She stood up, brushed herself off and stormed out. 
"Go Mrs. Lockwood!"
"Stop it!" I yelled. They laughed. 

                          
Two hours later I was sitting at my desk, dozing off again when I heard my door open. 
"Why is it that every time I come in here your sleeping?" Lockwood asked
"Just taking advantage of the moment." 
He chuckled. I opened my eyes. He was looking at some of the paintings above my board. 
"Did you make these?" 
"Yeah, a few. The others were Georges." 
"Woah." He whispered. I stood up and walked over to him. His arm wrapped around my waist, bringing me to him. I rest my head on his shoulder. We stood like that for some time. 
"Im sorry that I didnt do it at a better time." He grinned. I turned to face him. 
"It was perfect timing." He smiled. Once again I noticed our heads coming closer to one another, although this time there was nothing stopping us. We were again an inch apart. He nuzzled him face against mine. I sighed, very happy, very content. His lips came in contact with my cheek and slowly worked their way to the corner of my lips. His lips just brushed the surface of mine when the door burst open again and we jumped apart. 
"Again!? Really!?" It was Holly. This time before I could say anything Lockwood bellowed 
"GET OUT!" She jumped back, tears in her eyes, and ran from the room. 
                          
Lockwood sighed. He looked back and me sheepishly and smiled. I laughed and threw my arms around his shoulders. 
"May we try that again?" He asked 
"We may." I smiled. His lips came in contact with the tip of my nose and then began to go lower when the blasted phone started ringing. 
"Oh dear lord just let me kiss you!" He screamed. I walked over to answer the phone. 
"Miss. Carlyle?" I heard a small voice ask. 
"Yes?" 
"Would you please come down to the office. Barns would like to see you."
Click. She was gone. I sighed and rubbed my forehead. A pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. I leant back into the man. 
"Meeting." I explained. 
"Have fun. I can walk you down." He offered. 
"Id like that." He smiled grabbed my hand and walked me towards the door. 
                          
"So..." I said hesitantly.
"So." He smiled. I leant into him.
"Lucy, theres something I wanted to say-" 
"Well there no time for that now Mr. Lockwood." Barns said whilst frowning. He was standing outside the office, arms folded, paper in his hand. He handed it to me and I slowly unfolded it. 
"Your firing me!?" I asked surprised and hurt. 
"What!?" Lockwood took the paper from me. 
"So sorry Ms. Carlyle, or are you going by Mrs. Lockwood now?" I blushed. I could see Lockwood blush from the corner of my eye. 
"You cant fire Luce!" Lockwood said. 
"As I said before I can, and I will." He said beginning to walk away. 
"Why?" I asked surprisingly calm, though inside I felt like I was going to throw up. 
"You and Mr. Lockwoods endless flirting is upsetting your colleges." 
"You mean Holly?" 
"Yes, I do." 
"Yeah ok but do you know she attacked me earlier. Ask my class. They'll tell you." 
He considered it for a moment. 
"I'll call your class in tomorrow and ask them. Until then, you may not see them. Tomorrow Ms. Bones will take your place and escort them down." 
"Where will I go?" 
"You can stay in the office with me." Then he turned, opened the door and was gone. 
I looked at Lockwood. His hand found mine, gripping it like if he let go, I would run.
                          
We walked back in silence. We got to my classroom and just stood there, looking at it. 
"I cant lose this job." I whispered 
He let go of my hand and went behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist. His head rest on my shoulder. I turned around, facing him. Our forehead connected, eyes closed and we just stood there. I felt his head turning, coming closer. I started moving inward as well. 
                          
And right then and there Flo Bones burst into the room.
