Lydia after she catches you kissing Theo, he thought because you were nice to him all the time that you liked him. What she didn't see was you pushing him away.

"Lydia!" You called out to her, running down the hallway towards her.

She didn't turn around, she couldn't face you right now.

"Lydia? What's wrong?" You ask, placing your hand on her arm.

"Nothing, y/n." She moves away from your touch and spins around to face you.

You can see by her facial expression that she clearly isn't okay, "Lyds..."

"Don't call me that, y/n... I- I saw you kissing Theo." She murmured.

"What? He kissed me, Lydia... why would you care anyway?" You ask.

"Because I like you, y/n, and I think I'm in love with you." She admitted quietly.

"Me? I like you too, Lydia."

"But do you really? Because it didn't look like it." Lydia sighed.

"I don't like him, Lydia, he kissed me and I pushed him away." You tell her, your eyes pleading with her to believe you.

"Really?" She asks, starting to believe you.

"Yes, and I think I'm in love with you, too, Lydia." You admit.

A small smile spreads across her face.

"I'm sorry that you had to see me kiss him, it wasn't the best kiss I've ever had." You laugh.

Lydia laughs too, smiling, "come on, y/n. Let's go home." She holds out her hand for you to take and you gladly accept it.
