"LUCY ASHELY HEARTFILIA! COME DOWNSTARIS THIS INSTANT YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" Layla Heartfilia yelled from the kitchen for her daughter.
Groaning, Lucy Heartfilia checked her phone for any notifications. Not surprisingly, there weren't any. She had a friend yes, but she doesn't call or text her. But Lucy didn't mind because Lisanna was her best and only friend ever since the 5th grade.
Freshening up, Lucy put on her school uniform and put her hair in the signature side ponytail. The gray blue uniform looked great on her olive skin and her soft honey colored hair cascaded down her back in beautiful curls. She's beautiful, but doesn't realize; her friend spent years telling her, "you're not skinny enough," or, "your pores are huge." Great friend am I right?
"ILL BE DOWN IN A SEC MOM!" Rushing because she was now 20 minutes late for school. (20 minutes late even though school doesn't start for another half hour). Grabbing her backpack and putting her phone in her pocket, Lucy ran to the door jumped into her car and sped off, not before saying a quick, "I love you" to her parents.
Arriving to Fairy Academy was a real bitch, if not anything else. Looking around the cafeteria she wasn't surprised to see that there were only about 20 people. She was always early to school, leaving her with no one to sit with. She finished her homework before the day even ended, and so all she could do was read (not that she minds). "OH MY GOD!" Lucy jumped at the sudden voce. Looking up, she saw a boy with bright orange hair untamed almost like a lion's mane and a thick pair of sunglasses. "What happened?" She asked.
"What happened?! What happened?!" The boy shrieked. Lucy simply nodded at the crazy man. "What happened was an angel is down here in Earthland and I just so happened to be the lucky guy that gets to capture her heart. Forbidden love!" A fake tear rolled down his cheek.
Lucy gasped, suddenly remembering who he is. "You're Loke, the school flirt!" How did I not see it before, Lucy wondered?
Loke gasped as if he uncovered some big secret, "The beautiful angel not only knows my name and reputation, but also," he winks in her direction, "it sounds so good when she says it."
Lucy, trying not to throw up simply thanked him, "Thanks, but I'm no angel. Unless angels are fat and ugly," she scoffed. Loke opened his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by a loud voice. "LOKE I DARE YOU TO COME OUT! IM ALL FIRED UP NOW!" Instantly Loke's entire face paled. "I'm sorry princess, I have to go now." He grabbed a piece of Lucy's hair and kissed it. He ran away as quickly as he appeared. He's sooo weird. Why is he so scared anyways? Lucy's thoughts were interrupted when she saw the school pyromaniac, who just so happened to be Lisanna's boyfriend. "WHERE IS H- Hey I know you!" He glanced to her direction smiling very goofily. "You're Lisanna's friend Luigi right?" Natsu Dragneel asked.
A vein pooped in Lucy's forehead, "It's Lucy not Luigi."
"Lucy? That's a weird name."
"Its not any weirder than Natsu."
Natsu looked fake hurt, trying to hide that stupid grin, "How dare you. That hurt me right here," He said placing his hand to is hand.
Succumbing to his grins, Lucy smiled as well. "I think you'll survive, Mr. I-burned-down-the-science-lab."
His grin only got wider, "Am I that famous? I knew I was great, but this is amaz-" He was cut short when a fist connected with the left side of his sharp cheekbone. "FLAME BRAIN! DON'T RUN AWAY FROM OUR FIGHT!" Gray, a boy in Lucy's English and art class said. They fight whenever there together. "IM NOT RUNNING AWAY ICE FREAK! I WAS TRYING TO LOOK FOR LOKI!" Natsu explained as he kicked Gray. Just when the fight was getting good, the student council president, Erza Scarlet came. "Natsu, Gray do I hear fighting?!" An ominous aura surrounded her.
"O-of course not Erza!" They responded together as they side hugged themselves. They can't actually think it'll work on her.
"Very good." The "demon" president approved.
Lucy couldn't help but giggle softly. That was when the boys and the scarlet haired beauty noticed her. "Uhm sorry." She blushed uncomfortably.
"Don't worry about it. You're Lucy Heartfilia, right?" Erza asked.
Lucy nodded. "Ohhh you're in my English and Art class right? The talented soon to be writer," Gray snickered, teasing her lightly.
Lucy pouted jokingly, "And you're the ice freak who can only do ice sculptures," she teased back. What am I doing? I haven't known these people for 5 minutes and I'm acting like they're my best friends. Natsu put an arm around her shoulder and started laughing. Lucy flinched at the contact, not used to being touched, girl or boy.
"You're really funny, Luigi."
"Its L-u-c-y. Lucy"
"Indeed. Its nice to meet you, Lucy." This time Erza spoke.
Suddenly feeling shy, "Likewise."
"I hate to interrupt, but may I see my best friend and boyfriend?" A new voice said. It was Lisanna. Her pixie white hair, stunning blue eyes, and pale skin made her look beautiful. Such a shame she was a bitch.
Trying not to roll her eyes, Erza responded, "Indeed. Gray and I have to go anyways. Until next time farewell."
"We don't have anywhere to go," Gray said curiously while they walked to their homeroom.
"You want to spend time with her by choice?" Erza asked and was responded by silence. Really, how did a good guy like Natsu end up with someone like Lisanna, a question not even the great Titania could answer.
Meanwhile, back at the cafeteria Lisanna was sucking face with Natsu. It was a disgusting sight, really. Not to mention Lucy was trying to sound out the occasional moan from her pixie hired friend by reading her book. Years of being taught to be kind went down the drain when Lucy saw Lisanna reach for Natsu's shirt. She slammed her book shut, letting Natsu realize what he was doing. He tried to pull her away, but her grip on his bright pink hair didn't subdue. It was only when Lucy coughed VERY loudly that Lisanna stopped. She gave her friend an annoyed look that said what-the-hell-are-you-doing.
Feigning innocence Lucy simply shrugged and said, "Sorry, I think I'm coming down with something." Natsu didn't even try to hide his chuckle. Lisanna glared at him. "Whatever," she said.
Brrrring. Brrriinngg. Brrrrring. The school bell sounded.
Natsu groaned inwardly. "Fuuuuckkkk. I didn't do my math homework."
"I did." Lucy bragged. Natsu gave her puppy dog eyes, still holding Lisanna's waist.
Lucy giggled, "Sorry Mr. Pyro. I usually have a man take me to a movie and dinner before giving him my math homework."
"Then let me-" Realizing he had a girlfriend, Natsu dropped his head disappointed. Chuckling at this child-like manner, Lucy simply said, "Maybe I can break my rule. Just this once." His onyx eyes had tears on them.
"Yaaaaaayyy! Luce to the rescue!" He grinned again, showing his canine like teeth. "I got to go to first period. Bye Lis," Kissing her cheek, he was about to leave when she grabbed his black and white scaled scarf and kissed him straight on the mouth. Gagging, Lucy left the couple saying bye to her best friend. Really, I've known him for 10 minutes and he's acting like we've been friends since the diaper. I guess that's what happens when you hang out with the most popular boy at school. (Oh did I not mention? Natsu and Lisanna are the "it" couple at Fairy Academy.) I like it though, is this what its like to Lisanna? Her friends are cool.
The rest of the day went by in a blur until it was time for lunch. Gildarts, Lucy's History teacher shooed them out faster today probably to go see his daughter, Cana. Cana was a beautiful brunette with a slight drinking problem, if you called drinking 5 bottles of wine every period slight. It's a wonder how she still keeps in perfect shape.
As usual Lucy got her lunch and was preparing to go to the library. However, she was stopped by a large hand. "Hey Luce! You should sit with us today!" Natsu invited.
Before Lucy could decline, Natsu grabbed her left wrist and trudged her along to a corner of the large cafeteria. There sat Loke, Erza, Mirajane who is Lisanna's older sister that has the same colored eyes but had long hair, Jellal a boy with dark blue hair and a red tattoo on the left side of his face, Juvia a girl with curly blue hair making loving eyes at Gray, who had raven black hair, Gajeel an intimidating beast with long black hair and more piercings than Lucy had ever seen on a human that was sitting next to a tiny blunette named Levy. Lucy guessed they were acouple with the way she was blushing.
Lisanna wasn't there because she doesn't like Natsu's friends which is fine by them because the feeling was mutual. Of course Natsu never really noticed being the dense idiot he is.
"Guys, this is Luce!" Natsu introduced. Patting the chair next to him, Lucy sat shyly. "Hi, nice to meet you guys." Gray and Jellal simply nodded their hellos. Lucy nodded back.
"She's like a bunny," A gruff voice said.
"Gajeel!" The petite girl scolded. He hung his head down, clearly defeated. Lucy tried to stop herself from laughing at the big man got defeated by the almost fairy. "Hi! I'm Levy! You're in my English class with Gray, right?" Lucy nodded a yes. "Can I call you Lu-chan?" Lucy looked up with wide eyes. She'd never had a nickname before, well besides Luce that was given to her hours ago. "Sure," Lucy said smiling.
Then all of a sudden two hands came from behind her. "You've got really big jugs! Are they real?" Cana asked.
"Of course they are!" Lucy slapped her hands away from Cana's holding her breasts embarrassed.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Loke questioned, yelling. "I cannot believe you touched them before I did!"
"Lokeeee…." This voice made everyone stop in their tracks. It was Erza. Before she could say anything, Juvia spoke.
"Nice to meet you Lucy. You don't like Gray-sama do you? I don't want you to be a love rival."
"No, of course not." Lucy sniggered looking at how Gray blushed. Juvia visibly relaxed and smiled.
"Sooo Lucy-chan. Do you like anyone?" Mira asked. Lucy met her before when she went over Lisanna's house. She was a total sweetheart but if you cross her or her family, she becomes a totally different person.
Lucy looked away. "Not particularly." Everyone noticed the stiff answer and Mira took it upon herself to ask questions. "What's his name? Do we know him? Do we have nay classes with him?" Before getting the chance to interrupt, Lisanna came. "Hey Lucy! Natsu! Mira-nee," She said. Everyone's eye rolled except for Jellal, Gajeel, and of course, Mira.
"Hey babe," Natsu was the first to speak, "What're you doing? You never come. Are you gonna sit with us?" He asked with hopeful eyes. Everyone, this time groaned. Lisanna pretended she didn't notice. Or maybe she really didn't.
"Sorry love can't. I'm sitting with my friends. Speaking of…" Lisanna glanced in Lucy's direction "What're you doing sitting with these peo- ahem Natsu's friends?"
"I invited her." Natsu said, stuffing his face with lasagna.
"Ohh ok. Mira-nee," Lisanna let it go, "What're we doing for dinner? I wanna have my friends over."
"Macaroni and cheese dear." Lisanna nodded her head in approval, kissed Natsu while everyone gagged, and trotted away not even saying hello to everyone else, not like they complained.
"What a bitch." Lucy heard Gray say. Lucy couldn't defend her best friend. Sure she knew that, but if she said anything, Lisanna would blow up and Lucy would lose the only friend she's ever known.
The rest of the lunch period was an array of exchanging phone numbers with Lucy, laughing, and most importantly, eating. When the period was over, Lucy and Natsu got up to throw their tash away. "Soo howd you like our friends?" He asked, casually. Lucy looked up at him. Ours? She questioned herself. So that's what its like to have friends and sit with them at lunch. Lucy never sat with Lisanna, she had other friends.
Grinning, Lucy looked up at Natsu. "I loved them." She stated.
