Broken.
( I own nothing! Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail. . )
"Ring around the rosy! A pocket of posies! Ashes, ashes! We all fall down!"
The children fell down in a perfect circle, holding hands, and giggling loudly.
"Hey, guys? Think we'll be together forever? And ever and ever and ever?" A salmon pink haired boy asked the group.
"Of course, you fire blazing idiot." Gray smiled, proud of his remark. Everyone started giggling except for, Natsu of course.
"What you say, you stupid cold stripper." At that, everyone started laughing.
"OH I'M GOING TO GET YOU!" Gray ran up, before you know it, only in his underwear and ran for Natsu, who just stood there.
"Cut.. It..OUT!" The scarlet haired girl screamed at the two, approaching them slowly. Everyone stopped laughing and sat up.
"AH! ERRZZAA!" The boys started running towards their homes as Erza smirked and glared at the rest of them.
"GO ON! Get home!" Erza screamed, feeling power just because she's the strongest and oldest. Though, everyone respected her.
"Yes sir!" They all ran away, soft giggles fading away in the distance, just as their presence. After a few moments, Erza skipped away happily back into her home.
"Lucy Heartfilia!" Mr. Akatsuki said for the tenth time. Lucy immediately snapped out of her flashback and smiled innocently.
"Yes, Mr. Akatsuki?" Lucy asked as she heard soft laughs from the other students.
"Can you remind the class what we are doing tomorrow?" Mr. Akatsuki asked. He has always wanted to get Lucy embarrassed by the class, everyone else has been embarrassed by him except for her and one other student. He smiled deviously as Lucy didn't say a word.
"Well-" Mr. Akatsuki got cut off as Natsu Dragneel walked into the class and made his way to his seat. "Twenty eight minutes late. Do you have a pass, Mr. Dragneel?" Mr. Akatsuki asked.
"Nope, we go through this every time, I never have a damn pass." Natsu replied calmly, not scared of Mr. Akatsuki's anger.
"Whatever, I won't waste my time on you." Everyone nearly gasped in surprise. Lucy watched Natsu walk to his seat. Natsu and Lucy stopped talking in the seventh grade because they fell into different crowds. He was the bad boy of the school and Lucy was the sweet, innocent good girl. Now it's their senior year of high school and they still don't talk, though they're civil. "Well, Ms. Hearfilia, do you know-"
"We're starting our project." Lucy said simply, sitting in perfect posture and smiled proudly. Mr. Akatsuki swore under his breath. "I'll get her next time.." He thought.
"Very well," he said as the bell rang for lunch. "And do NOT forget your homework, especially you, Mr. Dragneel." Mr. Akatsuki sat in his seat, getting out his lunch from his drawer.
"Like that'll happen." Natsu replied and started to walk out of class when he accidentally bumped into Lucy. She stumbled and dropped her books.
"Hey, would you watch-" Natsu started and stopped as soon as he saw it was Lucy. Everyone left the class except for Lucy, Natsu, and Mr. Akatsuki, who was too mesmerized in his sandwich to pay attention. "Hey, I'm sorry, my fault.." Natsu said, crouching down and helped her with her books. Lucy was shocked at this. Since when was Natsu nice?
"Um, no problem, thanks." Lucy replied and smiled slightly, when he handed her the rest of her books. "See you around." Lucy said, leaving the class.
"Yeah, bye." Natsu said and ran his fingers through his hair. Little did they know that Mr. Akatsuki was watching the whole thing.
"Oh..I finally got you both, Ms. Heartfilia and Mr. Dragneel... just wait until tomorrow comes" Mr. Akatsuki smirked and started to eat his food again.
Lucy put her books in her locker and grabbed her lunch as images of Natsu crossed her mind. No matter how much she tries, they still keep coming.
"Hey Luccyyy~!" Lisanna Strauss walked towards Lucy, smiling at her and holding a hand of a familiar boy, though Lucy couldn't guess the name.
"Hey, who's the guy?" Lucy asked. "Whatever not important, sorry to ruin your lunch, but I need to talk to your girlfriend." Lucy dragged her away from him before he can answer. They ran through the halls and out the school, sitting at an "outdoor bench table", that's what Lucy calls it at least.
"What is it?!" Lisanna asked, sitting down with Lucy. Lisanna studied Lucy's eyes, trying to read them. "Bad grades? No..good grades! No.. that's not it either. Think Lisanna, think.." Lisanna though until it hit her.
Hard.
A book flew right on her head and hit her. "OW!" Lisanna screamed, looking around to see that it was the one and only, Gray Fullbuster... shirtless. "GRAY, YOU DAMNED STRIPPER! What the hell?!" Lisanna screamed at him.
"HEY I AM NOT A STRIPPER! And sorry, I was aiming for Jellal, you could so see him and Erza making out.." Gray defended as everyone turned around. Yep. There they were, thinking that a couple of trees can hide them.
"That's what we should be doing...baby.." Juvia came, literally, out of no where and wrapped her arms around Gray. Gray screamed like a girl and ran around the table, sitting next to Lucy as Lucy laughed at him.
"It's about a boy isn't it?" Lisanna asked Lucy who smiled innocently and not answering yet. After a few moments of silence, Lucy said, "Natsu freaking Dragneel." Lucy said.
"What about him?" Erza asked, holding Jellal's hand as everyone obviously held back their laughter. They decided not to say anything, knowing that Erza will kick everyone's ass.
"Well, he bumped into me after class today, and usually he'll yell at the person for even being near him, but he actually helped me pick up my stuff!" Lucy did a weird victory dance and everyone laughed at her,
"I think it's a bad idea to hang with him," Levy pointed out as she sat down on the table, "He's not the same guy anymore, Luce." Although she gave them a mini lecture, she still smiled.
"Well, I was going to get with him after, but now you can keep him." Lisanna said, smiling.
"Whatever, I'm going to take a walk, you know, rest my mind a bit." Lucy smiled, as usual and waved bye to her friends, walking down a secret path around the school. She looked down as she walked, only occasionally looking up to see where she was going. She looked back down.
"What the hell am I thinking? Natsu changed, completely. There is probably no way he would be friends with me again. But I mean, damn, he's just so-" Lucy's thoughts were cut off when she bumped into someone, again. "Sexy." Lucy flushed red and looked up to see Natsu smiling at her. "I MEANT SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN SEXY, I MEAN, WHY WOULD I SAY SEXY?!" Lucy rambled on until she ran out of breath and sighed as Natsu laughed, which is only heard unless it's sarcastic, but this one was real.
"I just figured you were thinking about a celebrity of some sort, but okaayy..?" Natsu said as he smiled a toothy grin. "Well, it's the second time we bumped into each other, would you say it's fate?" Lucy flushed red, winning Natsu a cocky smirk. "Listen, my friend Gajeel really likes Levy, so I thought maybe you and I can do a little match making, he's kind of lonely-" Natsu was cut off by a hard punch on the shoulder.
"I AM NOT LONELY PINKY!" Gajeel turned back to Lucy and smiled. "But, yeah, I need some help getting her." Lucy smiled, giggling at Natsu as he fell on the ground. "Go up to her and ask to join our book club. That's probably the only way of actually talking to her. You too, Pinky."
"MY NAME ISN'T PINKY, IT'S NATSU!" Natsu got up as Lucy laughed at him. "Book club? I ain't joining no book-" Natsu was cut off.
"Ah, yes, and use proper English when you speak, Levy hates that. She also hates bad boys, so when you come in, don't wear a leather jacket, in fact don't wear black, it's boring. Wear a plain white shirt that shows off your muscles and jeans. At the end of the session, walk up to her and compliment the book, she'll think your cute and then ask her to go out for lunch." Lucy smiled at her whole scenario as Gajeel nodded at this and thanked Lucy. "HEY! Why am I going?" Natsu asked and looked at Lucy as she smiled at this.
"Because, if you come, Gajeel won't look like the biggest idiot there." And at that, Lucy spun her heal and turned to go back to school.
"HEY!-" Natsu was cut off with a punch in the face by Gajeel. "THIS BETTER WORK, PINKY, OR I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!"
