Lucy is a normal girl. Well on the outside. Blonde shoulder length hair. Brown eyes. About 5' 4". But on the inside, she has a perverted sense of humor, thoughts that go from one thing to the next, always listening to music, and reads whenever she gets the chance. But there's more to her than anybody can see. You have to break through that shell of hers. It doesn't seem like she has one but it's only till you break through it that you realize that she actually does. You break through that invisible shell and you start seeing the real her. All of her friends have broken through that shell. Some friends haven't and have only seen the side of her she lets them see. Around certain friends she acts differently. The friends she changes around are the ones that haven't broken through her shell and they probably never will. The reason for this is that she doesn't hang out much with these friends. She just knows them because they were friends during this one class and the rest of the time they just merely knew of each other. Lucy is a lot more complex than she seems. There's a boy that's a lot like her. More complicated that he seems.
Natsu is a normal guy. On the outside. Pink spiky hair. Black eyes. About 5' 9". But on the inside, well he's dense really. He doesn't pick up on hints about anything. If you wanna tell Natsu something that only he can know then get somewhere with him alone and tell him straight out otherwise he doesn't know what the heck you're talking about. Natsu has a sense of humor but usually with people getting hurt or embarrassed that frequently gets him beat up by girls that are his friends. He's always hanging out with his cat, Happy. Natsu is always looking for a fight to prove that he's stronger than everybody, eating his weight in anything, sleeping in Lucy's bed (which goes with this last thing) and irritates Lucy to no end by always coming over to her house uninvited eating all her food and sleeping in her bed just because "it's comfy." When Natsu first meets Lucy, he intrigued. So he follows the complicated girl.
How they meet:
"Ow!" They both say, Lucy rubbing her head as Natsu rubs his elbow. While turning a corner, Natsu was talking out loud to himself making wild hand gestures and with one gesture his hands were up in the air and were coming down as he was turning the corner making his elbow connect with Lucy's bowed head, music blasting into her ears. They look up and their eyes meet. They freeze, Lucy's hand on her head, Natsu's on his elbow. Lucy breaks the silence and the moment. "Dude, you practically stabbed me in the head with your elbow."
"Yeah well your skull is way to thick to stab it with anything. I think you shattered my elbow."
"Can you move it?"
"Yeah." He says while bending and unbending his elbow.
"Then it's fine."
"I know. It just feels shattered."
"Whatever." She says starting to walk away. "Hey wait!" Natsu shouts going after her. He catches up to her but she didn't hear him at first. Headphone again. He notices them and taps her on the shoulder. She looks up, sees him, takes the left one out (the side of her he's on) and asks "Yeah?"
"What's your name?"
"Lucy Heartfilia."
"Natsu Dragneel."
"Nice "bumping" into you."
"Heh yeah sorry about that."
"Eh it's okay. It doesn't hurt that much."
"Really? Yours still hurts? Mine doesn't."
"Well, the head is a lot more sensitive to bumps and bruises than the rest of the body. That soft spot from being a baby doesn't really go away just gets less soft."
"Oh well sorry."
"It's okay. By tonight, I won't even remember it's there."
"What? Why not?"
"Because it'll stop hurting long before tonight."
"Oh cool. Hey what school do you go to?"
"Fairy Tail High. Go FT! What about you?"
"Same! Wow. How come I've never seen you."
"I tend to blend in. I don't stand out in a crowd. Plus I always on the right wing of school"
"Oh that explains. I'm always in the left wing for training and fight practice."
"Yeah I know." She says. He gives her a weird look. "Oh just I've seen you fight. My friend Levy sometimes drags me to the matches because her boyfriend is fighting that day."
"Oh okay. Well, what do you do in the right wing? I don't even know what's over there."
"Well what's over there is the music rooms and the media center. I listen and write songs in the music rooms and read till the end of the day really."
"Don't you have class?"
"Yeah, in the morning."
"Oh god, mine's in the afternoon. I couldn't learn in the morning but I can always train in the morning."
"Heh I'm sure. Anyway this is me." Natsu looks up and sees a darkish orange colored house with 4 windows with two downstairs and two upstairs. "Quaint." He says nodding. "Heh thanks, I guess. Anyway, see ya tomorrow?"
"Yeah. I'll meet ya here. See ya later!" He yells jogging away before she can say that she meant at school and not in front of her house but too late now. Oh well, she thinks to herself. She walks up to the door, unlocks it, and walks in. She sets her bag down on the couch as she walks through the living room straight into the kitchen for her sandwich. She goes through the motions of being home after school. Chores, homework, and then internet for the rest of her day. As she's laying down to go to sleep, she accidentally bumps her head against the wall slightly and is instantly reminded of, not the bump, but of...Natsu. I'm meeting Natsu, tomorrow, in front of my house. What is going to happen between me, this ordinary boring girl and him, this extraordinary exciting guy? Something good, I hope.
Next day:
Lucy is getting ready for school as she hears two taps on her second story window and thinks "The hell?" She looks out her window and sees Natsu standing on the sidewalk. "Oh right. He's walking me to school. Even though I never officially agreed to it but still. It's sweet of him." She thinks smiling. She hurries up and gets dressed. She's wearing a purple halter top with tight blue jean shorts. She walks out the door and waves 'hi' to Natsu before she locks her door. She turns around and Natsu blushes. Oh god. She is not going to make this easy, is she? Lucy walks down her driveway to Natsu on the sidewalk and loops her arm through his outstretched one. "Shall we?" She asks. "We shall." He answers with a smile. Oh why did she have to wear a halter top? God, why? This is killing me. It was hard enough not to ask her out last night over message and now this? I'm gonna die. This girl is gonna be the death of me. They arrive to school and go over their schedules again to find out they have Math and Science together including lunch. Natsu is giddy but hides it (mostly). And Lucy is happy but doubtful on how her relationship with Natsu is going be interpreted. People are probably just going to assume we're dating. Would that be a bad thing to Natsu or not? Oh my god what am I thinking? Do I like Natsu? I just met him yesterday. I mean I've heard of him before but I never officially met him till yesterday and I hurt his elbow and he dented my head. Not the best way to meet but maybe something great will come out of this. Probably. He's really sweet and cute. He's like an energetic little kid. "Lucy, come on!" He exclaims pulling her by her arm to the school doors right as the bell rings. "Oh right." She says starting to match his speed. "Race ya!" Natsu says once they get through the school doors. Their first class is Science so same class. "Heh you're on! 1, 2, 3, GO!" She yells and they take off down the hall. Natsu runs past the classroom and has to run into the wall to stop he was going so fast but Lucy gets into class right on time while Natsu becomes a minute too late. One more tardy and it's dentition for him. All those morning seeing Lucy and staring at her from afar wondering what her name was and if she liked him.
