-With A Stained Lily Upon Your Eyes-
Chapter 1 – The Girl Who Has Unusual Eyes
A/N. Helllooo this is me again, Kitsune-Dark-Knight! This brand new idea popped in my head as I was thinking up ideas for 'One Hell of a Delinquent', so I figured I'd just start this story. Wow, 3 continuing stories... gah! The work overload! T_T I plan to update at least once a day or so on any story... oh well *sulks* Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Summary: A new girl arrived. That's the topic of the rumors at school. They'd never spread rumors about a new student before, so I don't know why they'd spread the rumors, and frankly, I don't really care. That was until I realized too late that part of what they were saying could've been true

Gray's POV
"Did you hear about the new girl? I heard she used to be part of that famous delinquent school!"
"I know right! I also heard she's got these Medusa eyes!"
New girl this, new girl that. We already had plenty of new kids, so why spread rumors about this one? I bitterly thought as I walked down the hallway. The information about the 'new girl' was that her name was Lucy. The rumors didn't really count since they were, of course, rumors. I sighed in relief as I saw my frenemy, Natsu.
"Oi! Flame brain! Did you hear about the rumors?" I called out as I caught up to him.
"EHH?! What'd you call me, ice princess?!" He yelled back, his fist raised.
"Never mind that, but aren't you the least slightest interested in the 'new girl'?" I asked him.
"Eh, sort of. I mean, she'd be pretty weird to have Medusa's eyes. She's coming today, by the way," He shrugged.
"Seriously?! Since when did you, the ashes for a brain, know?!" I pointed an accusing finger at him.
"What was that, ice princess?!" His forehead slammed into mine as flames appeared behind us.
"Didn't you hear me, flame brain?! I said you had ashes for a brain!" I growled back. Suddenly, we both got hit in the head by something very familiar and hard.
"YOU TWO! AT LEAST BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR WHEN THE GIRL IS HERE TODAY!" I heard the Erza Scarlet boom. I then looked behind her and saw a girl with long blonde hair behind her. I couldn't get much of a view, because Erza stepped in front of her. "ARE YOU LISTENING?!"
"H-Hai!" Natsu and I both squeaked as we wrapped our arms around each other's shoulders. "W-We were j-j-just joking - right, best friend?" I looked at Natsu as if to say, 'Just go along with it'.
"A-Aye!" He said. Erza nodded in approval.
"It's good to be friends, but you shouldn't play around too far." She stepped aside and put out her hand out to her side (A/N. She's putting out her hand palm up to introduce Lucy. Do you get what I mean?). "This here, is Lucy H-"
"Just call me Lucy," Lucy spoke with slight monotone. It's like she was ¾ emotionless and ¼ emotions.
"Gray Fullbuster." I stuck my hand out, but she didn't shake it, so I put it back in my pant pocket.
"I know." I looked at her with slight shock, but dismissed it.
"Yo! I'm Natsu Dragneel! Nice to meet you, Luigi!" Natsu gave her a cheeky grin.
"Hm,"
.
.
.
Natsu's jaw dropped. "No response?!" He exclaimed at her, but she didn't pay attention to him, or she was ignoring him.
"Scarlet, that will be all." She said, handing back some papers. Erza nodded and walked away. Lucy then turned towards me. "Gray."
"H-Hai?"
"Hm. Nothing wrong." And with that, she turned and started walking away. I was confused. Wait, wha-?
"Oi...ice princess! What'd you do to her that made her pay attention to... YOU?" Natsu growled to me, fist in air.
"I didn't do anything, flame brain, unless you're too stupid to notice that." I replied back to him as I ran a little to catch up with Lucy.
"Lucy! What is it that you wanted?" I asked her. She stopped and turned to look at me.
"Nothing wrong."
"Okay...? But what do you mean by that?"
"I mean everything," She replied bluntly. I fell back anime style, and got back up.
"Okay then, I don't understand when you said there's nothing wrong," I said a little slowly.
"You should."
"Argh! Fine, there's nothing wrong with what?"
"You'll know in due time." She faintly smiled. I sighed in defeat, and just continued walking with her to her class, which was so conveniently my class, too.
-Break-
"Lucy! Come here and meet my other friends!" I called over to her. Our seats were also next to each other – there was conveniently an empty desk there – and we got along...to me, anyway. She came along, an unemotional face on.
"This is Mirajane, but you can call her Mira. This is Lisanna, Levy, Gajeel, Freed, Evergreen, Elfman, Cana, Juvia, Romeo, and Wendy. And since I'm too tired to list you guys all out again, meet Lucy. The rest of you already met her," I pointed to all of the people as I said their names, and then to Lucy.
"You two look so good together!"
"It's nice to meet you, Lucy!"
"Uwahh! You look like the type to read books!"
"Hn. You look so vulnerable, like a bunny,"
"It's nice to meet you, Miss Lucy,"
"Hmph! You may look pretty, but I'm the prettiest fairy there will be!"
"Being a new student is MANLY!"
"*hic* Nice to *hic* meet you *hic* Lucy..."
"Juvia heard Gray-sama call you over. Don't you dare take away Gray-sama, love rival!"
"Hello, Lucy!"
"It's nice to meet you, Lucy-san!" (A/N. Btw the greetings are in the order mentioned...tell me if I missed one of them e-e)
"Hn. Hello. To answer your statements correctly, Gray just met me, so do not assume. I also don't like to read books that much, unless I find a book that rarely catches my eye. I do not believe I am too vulnerable, and I'm sure that being a pretty fairy is in your opinion. I'm also not very new, since I've been here before. Again, Gray just met me so do not assume we're together or want to be together," She all stated in a monotone voice.
"Err...your eyes are very unique!" Lisanna piped up.
"They're just bright teal."
"But nobody in the school even has a color close to that, besides blue! Besides, I've never seen such a bright and unique teal eye color!" Levy pointed out.
"You have. Right now."
"Which parent had teal eyes?" Mira asked.
"None."

"Then how do you have teal eyes?!" We all exclaimed at once.
"I don't have parents. They died in a car accident when I was five months old." She said.
"Don't worry, Luce! We're still here for you!" Natsu put his arm around her shoulder.
"I'm not that depressed. I also wouldn't need everyone. Gray should suffice," She shrugged off his arm. Why me, though?! I thought.
"How dare you try to take Juvia's Gray-sama!" Juvia pointed an accusing finger at her. To be honest, I don't really like Juvia. I mean like, she's nice and all, but she's too creepy and stalking me around, and threatening some girls that were going to confess to me.
"Hm? Gray is a convenient person. Scarlet is too stiff." She tilted her head as if a little confused, but her face didn't match her action – it was still emotionless. I saw Erza stiffen up though at her words.
"Gray-sama! Is this true?!" Juvia asked me. I turned my head and sighed.
"Yeah," I replied, which left her to sobbing anime tears.
"Do you like her, Gray? You two look good together!" Mira poked my arm. Before I could reply, Lucy did.
"Persistent. Loves romance when knows none of it yourself." She pointed a finger at Mira, which led her to blinking in shock.
"H-How...? What..? H-How'd you...know..," Mira whispered the last part, but Lucy and I heard it.
"People who match make simply cannot get romance for themselves, thus experiencing it by giving it to other people. I can see it." Blushing, Mira turned away and tried to hide herself.
"Maybe it has something to do with your eyes! Maybe the rumors were right!" Levy suggested.
"Rumors. Having eyes like Medusa, eyes of a spider, ugly as an ugly duckling, be able to see ghosts, being a delinquent, and being a snobby girl, I presume?" I was shocked – she actually listed all the rumors about her that I heard.
"How'd you know?" I asked her.
"I know because I've already heard them."
"Ohhh...wait how?!" We all exclaimed at once. Before she could reply, the bell rang.
"Aww, see ya later, Lucy!" They all waved and went to their next class.
"You have all classes with me. Come." Lucy motioned her hand for me to follow her, and started to walk away to our next class. It can't be possible, right? All of our classes together?
And for every class until lunch, we had our seats either next to or behind or in front of each other. This can't be a coincidence! Oh wait, it could be since I always liked having the seats in the back rows, and there's usually empty desks there.. I thought as I walked out the door to lunch. When I came out of the classroom, some girls screamed at how cute I was and all that stuff. They were probably my fan club.
"Kyaa! Gray-sama is soooo hot!" I heard one say. I rolled my eyes at that.
"Oh? A fan club? How neat," I heard someone whisper in my ear. I jumped in shock and little and turned around. I saw Lucy standing on her tippy-toes.
"Why is having a screaming fan club neat?" I raised an eyebrow.
"For many reason you should know of. I'm off to lunch. Ja ne," She then just disappeared! I stared at the spot she was in, and then towards the crowded hallway. How did she?!
I sighed and shoved my way through to the cafeteria. I mentally yelled out in happiness as my favorite table was still empty. I quickly bought some lunch – ew, but better than nothing – and sat down at the table, closing my eyes and saying "Itadakimasu". (A/N. It means "Let's eat" or "Thanks for the food" in Japanese). When I looked up, I saw bright teal eyes staring at me. I jumped in my seat.
"H-How?! W-Why are you here?!" I exclaimed, pointing a finger at her.
"I was always here. You just didn't notice me. Why is this table special, anyway?" She tilted her head curiously.
"Well, let's say this table has a lot of memories with me," I gave her a cheeky grin. She shrugged, and popped a mini chocolate in her mouth.
"That's all you're going to have for lunch?" I stared at the mini lunch she had – if you could even call it a lunch. It just consisted of a box of chocolates and a cup of what appears to be hot chocolate. She nodded in reply.
"It's sweet, yet dark. Just like me, or what people say about me. My eyes beg to differ," She explained. I nodded a little.
"How did you seriously get those eye color, anyway? And if your parents were dead before you could comprehend things, how did you know that none of your parents don't have teal eyes?" I raised an eyebrow.
"It's a secret, but if you really want to know, I-"
BWAHAHA! I left a little cliffy there! XD Actually I was just too lazy to think up another ending and plus I wanted this chapter to be nice and sweet. You know, just...tiny-ish, I guess. 3 stories at once, huh? Well then, I'll go in a order! Starting from now – It's Lucy in a Nutshell! - One Hell of a Delinquent - With A Stained Lily Upon Your Eyes. What a long title. Anyway, hoped you like this new story!
