BL | pick me in the group..

The group was loud, messy, all boys—always joking, always arguing. It worked like that.

Then there was Lucy.

She sat with them like she belonged, but only when Lucien was there.

Lucien, you’re literally the only normal one here,she said, looking at the others.

Hey, what? Kaelan laughed. We’ve known him longer than you.

Lucy shrugged. I can tell.

The mood dipped, but she didn’t care. I don’t hang out with groups like this, she said. Then softened at Lucien. But if you go, I might.

Lucien looked uncomfortable. We’re all going.

Right, she smiled, like it didn’t matter.

Her attention stayed on him. She interrupted people, dismissed them, always circling back to Lucien.

And you?

You were the one she couldn’t stand.

And she never apologized.
