A/N: I'm back with the new NaLu story that I promised. I wanted to get this out there also, whilst tackling all my other projects. So let's go!
Summary: "All I could see was the flash of the headlights, and the sound of screeching tires. Closing my eyes, I was suddenly thrown to the sidewalk, my head hitting the concrete. Before losing consciousness, I saw it; the flash of pink hair". When Natsu, a regular bully of the new girl, Lucy, saves her life, she finds herself falling for him. AU NaLu.

I released the breath I had been holding in since the taxi had dropped me off in front of Fairy Tail High. Today was my first day and I was already nervous, for I knew not what awaited beyond those iron doors. I had just moved to Magnolia about three weeks ago, having had enough of my father's accusations of me being a lazy good-for-nothing, so I had decided to move to Magnolia and try to make a name for myself. But first, I had to tackle my first challenge, which was finishing high school. I was a senior, which meant I had only this last semester left until graduation, and I couldn't be more ready. I walked up the steps to the doors, dodging groups of talking students or random teachers that were standing about. I made my way to the main office, pushing a few stray strands of my blonde hair from my face as I approached the main desk.
A woman smiled as I approached, gazing politely at me through her glasses, "Hello dear, what may I help you with?" she asked, her voice edged with professional courtesy.
I returned her smile, "Hello, my name is Lucy Heartfilia, and I was wondering if I could get my schedule?" I asked, showing her my I.D card.
She nodded, taking out a file with my name on it, "We've been expecting your arrival. Everything has been set up. Here is your lunch card, it has been pre-loaded with the $100 check you wrote," she said, handing me the little debit card, "and here is your schedule along with your locker number and combination. I hope you have a good semester," and she handed me the rest of my things.
I said a quick 'thank you' and headed down the hall to find my locker. I searched through a few halls before finding it, locker number 378. I smiled in content as I twisted in the combination, placing a few of my binders and pencil packs inside.
"Hello," said a voice from behind me, and I turned to see a girl with beautiful red hair and a big grin on her face.
I smiled, closing my locker door , "Hello, are you one of my locker neighbors?" I asked, having noticed her a locker down from mine.
She nodded, "Indeed I am, my name is Erza Scarlet. And you are?" she asked, extending her hand to shake mine.
I accepted her handshake, "That's a pretty name! And I'm Lucy Heartfilia," I said, letting go of her hand.
She smiled at my comment, "Heartfilia? That's an interesting last name," she said, her eyes bright with happiness.
I giggled, "Why thank you." I said, a warm feeling of welcome building inside me.
She shook her head, "So what is your first class?" she questioned, taking a glance at my schedule.
Peering down at the paper, I looked back at her, "History, what about you?" I asked, hoping she had the same class with me.
She smiled, and I knew that my hopes had been fulfilled, "That's my first class also. Want to walk with me?" she asked.
I nodded, gesturing for her to lead the way, "You're the first person to actually talk to me here," I said, feeling happy as could be.
She smiled, "I try to make friends with all the new students. Also there is something about you that I like." she explained. I smiled and we continued on to the class, chatting about our interests and getting to knowing each other. This Erza Scarlet was pretty cool, and little did I know, she would become my bestest friend.

7:55 AM
I took my seat next to my beautiful girlfriend, Lisanna, who was busy chatting with her friends, Levy and Gajeel. Not interested in their conversation, I turned to the door, watching kids that I didn't really care for come into the door. That's when I noticed one of my semi-friends, Erza Scarlet, enter the room, chatting it up with some blonde girl that I had never seen before. I looked the girl up and down, realizing she had to be new. She looked like a loser, for her smile was too bright and her clothes were too preppy. I could tell she was annoying, how Erza could stand there and talk to her, I had no idea. Suddenly, the blonde caught me staring at me and gave me an awkward half-smile. Rolling my eyes, I turned away, placing one arm around Lisanna's shoulders. I was growing tired of focusing on that ridiculous new girl, who annoyingly managed to score popularity points from Erza. However, I kept my hearing focused on their conversation.
"Who's that guy with pink hair?" I heard the blonde girl ask. Interested in me is she? Too bad I'm already with the best girl in the whole school.
"Oh him? That's Natsu Dragneel. He's the most popular guy in school, but he's also a player and a bit of a dense idiot," I heard Erza explain. Wow, thanks Erza.
"What about the girl he has his arm around?" the blonde once again questioned Erza. That's right Erza; let that little newbie know who my girl is.
"That's Lisanna, she's nice to some people, but really isn't someone to be messed with, so I would just avoid her if I were you," Wow, just insult my girl, Erza. However, I knew that I could never confront Erza in reality, for she would just kick my ass.
Growing tired of their conversation, I turned to Lisanna and whispered something in her ear. She glanced back and looked at the blonde, her eyes flashing deviously. Then she simply nodded before turning back to Levy and Gajeel.

12 PM
"Come and sit with me," said Erza, and she led me to a table after we had gotten our food from the cafeteria. I nodded quickly; glad I had found a new friend in Erza. She was spunky, smart, well-dressed and had a certain humor to her that just made you want to talk with her. She led me over to a table near the center of the lunchroom and took her seat, while I sat to her right. I was just about to take a bit of the pizza slice before me, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw the Lisanna girl from my history class.
I looked at her, confused, "Do you need something?" I asked, wondering what this seemingly popular girl would want with me.
She smiled, sweetly, but I could tell it was fake, "You're Lucy Heartfilia, right? I saw you in my history class," she said, placing herself on the seat next to me.
I gulped, her feigned sweetness beginning to scare me, "Y-yes, that's right," I said, my voice wavering a bit.
She crossed her legs, before giving me a cold, hard stare, "Look, I was told you were interested in my boyfriend, Natsu, and I just came to tell you that he is mine. So back off. You're new, so I wouldn't expect you to know that social chain here. But Natsu would never associate with someone as lowly as you, so do me a favor; just leave him alone. Or else," she said, and with those words, she got up from her seat and went back to her table. My eyes followed her all the way there until they connected with another pair of eyes looking directly at me. I found myself staring into the deep pools of onyx that were Natsu's eyes, those beautiful, yet emotionless eyes staring at me. And what's worse, is that unknowingly to me, is that that boy was going to become the most important part of my story.
A/N: So there ya have it! Chapter 1 down! I know it was written kind of sloppily, and I apologize! The next chapter will get better! Anyway, enjoy!
