Chapter one: The Spark
Lucy scrambled to pick up her books as she looked to see who hit her. It was non other than Natsu Dragneel, the goofy (Attractive) boy who sat behind her in Chemisty. He smiled before taking a step around her and continuing in the path he was heading before he ran into her. Lucy had had a bad enough day already, she didn't need mindless dorks ramming into her, but then again he was pretty cute. After she had gathered all her stuff up she headed to the last period of the day.
"What's got you looking so down in the dumps Lu, you're usually so upbeat and happy?" A certain bluenette said cheerfully.
"Ugh! I've had such an awful day!" She began with an agitated moan. "People are just so...Stupid! First some jock tried to ask me out, I turned him down of course, then some stupid bitch took my English homework, and just as I was going to the last period of the day some random dude had to go and run me over! Ugh, I hate everyone" Lucy blurted.
Levy giggled. "I have just a few questions…" she said mysteriously. "Who was the jock who asked you out? Why did the bitch take your homework, and was the guy who ran you over hot?" She blurted out quickly.
"Well.." Lucy began "Let's see no, I don't know, and... well," she began to blush.
"Oh come on Lu spill the beans, was he or was he not hot?" Levy giggled.
"Well...ya...I guess he was pretty hot….so ya" At this Levy squealed with excitement. "Yeah this is so exciting. Well got to go Lu," she said as they turned the corner getting closer to the squealing girls house. "See ya," Levy waved before pushing the gate to her front yard open. I hope Levy doesn't find out that the boy was Natsu Dragneel, That would be soooo weird. Lucy thought while waving to her friend. As she walked she thought about the awful day she had had. When she reached her apartment she turned the key to the door and was greeted by her excited pug. "Hi Plu!" Lucy said with a smile. She headed to the kitchen where she set her keys on the counter. She walked to her room and slipped her clothes off and started to walk to the bathroom and start a bath. Ahh this feels soooo good! She sighed as she sunk deeper into the water. After the bath she got into pajamas and slipped under her covers closing her eyes and falling asleep.
It was around 1:00 am when Lucy woke up. She had heard a noise at her window which startled her quite a bit. She sat up and looked around, but saw nothing other than her window open and her thin curtains swaying in the breeze. She got up reluctantly to close the window but she heard another noise behind her. She whipped her head around to face the intruder but realized it was just a door that had been closed by the wind. She shook her head. Just a bit paranoid that's all. She thought, and with that she closed the window and crawled back into her bed.
The next day went by fast and soon it was the second to last period of the day, chemistry. Most of the class she just sat in her own thoughts. The day was almost done and this was an easy class anyway. Eventually her thoughts shifted to the pink-haired boy sitting behind her. They hadn't talked much and she didn't know him very well but it wasn't like they were enemies or anything. Actually she wished she could get to know him better. He seemed like a pretty good kid.
When the teacher began saying something about an important project she decided it was best to listen. " This project will count as a third of your end grade so I'm expecting it to be good." Oh right the school year is almost over. Lucy thought, but soon she turned her attention back to the teacher. " You will all be partnered up randomly because i do not trust your judgement." He began to hand out little scripts of paper to each of the students. Each piece of paper had the name of the student and their assigned partner. Lucy read hers,
Lucy H.
Natsu D.
Lucy sat there in shock. Natsu?! Why Natsu of all people? Her face turned red at the thought of going to his house to work on the project. Or even worse, him going to hers.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the bell. Today she had last period off so she could go home early. Thankfully Levy had the last period off too, Lucy hated walking home alone. She met up with her friend at the main doors of the school.
As they walked Levy rambled on about her day and Lucy couldn't help but smile. Her friend was such a dork sometimes but she loved her all the same. "Anyway Lu do you have any final projects? I got three today and I'm pissed," Levy looked at Lucy. "Ya," Lucy began hesitantly, should she tell Levy about Natsu? " One in chemistry it's a partner project," Lucy said, now she could only hope that Levy didn't ask… "Who's your partner?" God Dammit! Lucy cursed in her head. She hesitated. "Oh, uh Natsu," she said quickly. "Wait Natsu Dragneel! That super cute one! Oh, I give anything to be in your shoes," Levy continued her rambling while lucy returned to her thoughts. At least she doesn't know that he was the one who bumped into me earlier. Ugh, well my house is just around the corner so we should be there soon. Lucy sped up and turned the corner hurrying to her apartment. "See ya Levy!" She called. Levy waved back just as lucy began to close the door.
Lucy made her way to her room where she plopped down on her bed with a sigh. She walked to her kitchen and poured herself a bowl of cereal. She started to walk back to her room when she heard a knock at her door. She set the bowl down on the counter and walked to her door hesitantly. She gasped as she saw a certain pink-haired boy standing at her doorstep.
Ok what do y'all think? I changed it a bit from it's original but it's mostly the same. I reread this about a week ago and realized that it was pretty good so I decided to fix a few things then put it back on fanfic. Tell me what you think ya?
