A/N: *Edited* Please read again! A really important detail is added! Enjoy!

Chapter One

I never understood girls. More specifically, their moods.

Somehow, they scare me. It's pretty weird for a guy like me in this century- No. It's not a phobia...I think. Girls are these sensitive creatures, one wrong word uttered and they get hurt. And being the 'nice guy' type, I can't bear to see a female in tears. Believe me, I could hear everyone going 'awww' right now.

The meaning of a girl is pretty vague in a dictionary- who uses this shit anyways, it's definitely not useful.

Girl, A young female who can be a mother and has feminine characteristics. No shit, dictionary. On the other hand, my dear friend; the internet has something called 'uniqueness' which is spot on at times. I still don't understand why guys won't use this heavenly blessing- the world would be more peaceful with a dramatic decrease in break ups and high heel smacks. That's just my opinion anyways...it's not like anyone cares. I'm just having these thoughts while walking aimlessly around the road, my gaze completely locked at a couple who wanted to rip eachother's hair apart.

The female was in a verge of tears- her eyes were swollen and she started quivering. No words came out from her mouth which proves how much she was shocked by the guy's words.

"...I...I underst..a-and..." her voice cracked and the ass of the guy didn't seem to give a damn. This was really the last page of their relationship book which would be thrown away without even revising what they did wrong. The boyfriend sighed and walked away, only his retreating back still visible in her gaze.

I felt this sharp pain in my chest. They might have ended things but at least man up and comfort the girl! And what the hell was I doing standing behind the girl.

"Mavis-san...?" her face turned towards me, tears making their way down her cheeks. Her hands instinctively went to her face, trying to wipe away tears.

"...A..Ah..Natsu-kun...W-what..a..ar-are...you doing here..? I..I'm alright...No-nothing happened..." Mavis and me are in the same class, we get along well and she's known for having a strong heart- never cried once and witnessing this was difficult to believe. My face was a dead giveaway to her, she'll figure out that I saw everything. The light blonde haired chuckled bitterly before erupting into tears.

"I...I don't..want..t-to..be...s-seen...cr-crying...Please...don't concern yourself more, Natsu-kun." she smiled. Somehow my hand trailed towards her hair. I was patting her. Great. Just great. I took the warning even though,

1) she would cry more

2) she'd pummel the living daylights out of me.

The correct answer was number one. Thank heavens she didn't resort to using me as punch bag.

It took a while to settle herself down but by the looks of it, she felt a lot less like crap.

"I feel like a fool right now. Sorry for letting you stay with me..." she lightly punched her head. Cute.

"You're not fool. It's alright to cry behind that strong demeanor of yours. If you need me..well..um..I am always beside you...at class..." my sentence formation can be misleading at times but this brought a cheerful grin to the her face and she walked away, stopped at her track and spun around.

"Thank you." she bowed before waving good bye and I did the same. I helped a girl- no greater joy...I might cry happy tears. But I was caught off guard by a painful throb on my back.

"Oh...I've been found out..." I faced towards the voice and saw something beyond one's imagination. An alluring beauty was sitting on a tree branch...a very high branch. Her feet dangled so carelessly. How did she manage to get there?

"You." she pointed at me whilst getting up. I blinked a few times, maybe all of this was a mere hallucination. Either way, this girl is crazy.

"Kyaaa!" her delicate arms went over the tree trunk for support.

"Hee hee...My leg slipped..." she admitted meekly. This woman seriously wants me to faint in this lone street. I thought that she might come down like an obedient puppy but as we all know fate's obsession with putting us in shitty situations. The girl started twirling on her tiptoes...Yes...on the branch...on the incredibly narrow branch.

How? I don't know either.

Yet how her feet were glued to the branch like if they were made to do these sort of risky stuff was breath taking.

"Hey. Aren't you gonna talk?" the question alerted me.

"Y...You should come down..." my words were barely audible but just enough for her to understand and scoff at.

"I saw you earlier with that girl. So guys like you still exist..." as she spoke, I felt my heart beating faster with every word uttered.

"You're interesting." she then pointed at the ground.

"Pick it up." I looked over to where she pointed. A coin, that slapped my back and halted my breathing earlier. I never liked following orders and plus I didn't want to involve myself with her any longer. I started walking away but somewhat felt insecure that I should have helped her. Seeing how clumsy the girl is, her falling down the tree was possible.

"I'll jump." those two words made my blood drain away, she's crazy and she wants the world to know that, the first victim being me. I shakily looked back and saw her standing on the edge...she means it.

"W-wha...Hold it...Can you please not? Look, I don't want to appear on the newspaper's article. And besides, there's something called 'life'. Ever heard of it? I will...try to help you in your matter but please don't jump." I pleaded. At at that moment I realized how clichè that sounded.

"Hey. Just pick it up..." she said, as her finger pointed at the coin again and of course I had to obey. I held the coin in my grasp, my eyes stared at it and finally I was left with one conclusion...It was one normal ass coin.

"You see. A coin has two sides. When you toss it, then there comes the two sides, the one you love and the other one which seeks your hate. My point is, people are like coins. You think you know them but they keep two sides to fool you and in the end, you're left with feelings like hurt and betrayal." I managed to hear a few words as I was more focused on her almost falling position. She sighed and pulled away a strand of her blonde hair, "Fine. I'll come down but you have to do as I say."

"Meh. Acceptable" It's a girl- so calm down me.

"First, hold out your hands." she demanded, I pulled out them as requested.

"Now answer two questions!" I looked like a fool standing there with my hands held out and this girl balancing her foot on a branch while commanding me. This will be added to the crazy things happening to me in summer.

"Question one, do you play sports? Like...are you healthy?" I saw a glimpse of fear visible on her face to which it confused me. Where was that minute ago self centered girl?

"Yeah. I'm actually in my school's basketball team." my answer seemed to revive her spirits as she smirked at me.

"Last question, Ever caught a falling girl?" she didn't give me anytime to think or react. Her delicate body plunged down the tree and I felt this weight on my hands; hair twirling down my vision. I kept my balance and my gaze lowered down- her eyelashes fluttered and my eyes met hers.

Awkward.

Though...I felt myself being mesmerized by her eyes; serene brown orbs, glimmering in the light. She giggled slightly before slipping out of my hands and on her feet. The girl was way too surreal. Straight blonde hair cascading down her waist, perfectly shaped figure.

"Natsu, was it?" her eyes lingered curiously at me, I nodded. She moved closer and there was little distance between us.

"Hey-

I didn't dare to look at her, my eyes glanced everywhere but her.

"Hey. I think...I like you."
