Jamie sat in his room. Raphael, Percy and Micky where there too.

"So Jamie-" Raphael started.

"Raphael," Jamie muttered, "I don't care who danced better between us. Just leave me alone for a bit."

"I wasn't going to say that," he grinned, "you like Lottie?"

"Shut up." Jamie said, frowning.

"You do," Micky said, "Jamie, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Isn't there?" Jamie growled, "I'm a Partizan, I can't get distracted." And with that, he stormed out of the room.

He made his way down Ivy side and saw another person doing the same. Lottie.

"Jamie?" She called.

"Lottie..."

"I'm sorry!"

"For what?"

"Everything..."

"It's ok."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is." He smiled at her.

"Really?" She smiled back, "we really are ok?"

"Yes."

They hugged eachother. Jamie pushed  back her hair, looking into her face.

"Thank you, Jamie."

"Stop thanking me."

"Sorry!"

"And stop apologizing."

"Sor-" she started, before laughing.

They both laughed. It was a genuine laugh.

"Lottie.", His face suddenly turned serious.

"Yes?"

"I-"

Suddenly Ellie came up to them.

"Hi," she muttered awkwardly.

"Hi," Lottie smiled.

"I'm sorry Lottie." Ellie said.

"How many times do I have to tell you it's fine."

"Ok!" Ellie grinned, "I'll leave you guys to it."

"To what El-" Lottie started, but Ellie had already run off.

"Now what?" Lottie asked.

"Why would you expect me to know?" He smirked.

"I think we need to try and focus on the leviathan."

"Yes." His face turned solemn, "that's a good idea."
