A/N: Yo people, how you doing c; LOL So if you read my other story 'Fiore High', then you will know I am incredibly obsessed with NaLu. (The best ship that ever sailed) I took a break from 'Fiore High' because I got really stressed and I had an authors block. I kept getting ideas but not ones that would actually with the story so when this popped up in my brilliant mind, I decided to roll with it and start another fan fiction. I really hope you guys like it and if you want another chapter, review please~~~ Thank you so much and enjoy 3
It was a calm warm day outside, so my friend and I were enjoying the day out in the fresh air. We were having so much fun, together, like always.
"Lets stay together forever, Natsu!" The young girl with blonde pigs tails, said while she extended her small pinkie out towards me
"Forever and ever!" I crossed her pinkie with mine, confirming our promise.
She smiled happily and immediately pulled me towards the swings. "Push me really high, Natsu!"
"What if you fall off?" I looked at her with worried eyes, as she settled on the metal swing.
"I won't, It'll be fine." She smiled.
I began to push her, allowing her to gain momentum, and she gradually started swinging higher and higher.
"Weee! This is f-" She began exclaiming, suddenly stopping mid-sentence. I heard something hit the ground the moment she stopped talking, and when the swing returned, it came back empty. It was missing my best friend.
"Are you okay?!" I said as I ran up to her, at the other side of the swing set. I noticed that she was had a severely skinned knee, that was dripping with blood, but she was still smiling.
"I'm fine!" She called out, in a soft, joyful voice.
I helped Lucy inside her enormous mansion, so she could get care from some of the nurses.
I sat beside her while they attended to her wounds.
"We promised to stay together forever, so never leave my side, okay?" I declared, in a worried tone.
She glanced at me with the same smile she had adorned earlier. She slightly nodded, as a grin smile appeared on my face.
"Get up, boy!"
I felt someone intensely smacking me on my head with the newspaper.
"Urgghghhhh..." I groaned, with a stretch of my arms.
"Stop sleeping, and wake up, or else you'll be late for school!" My dad hollered at me.
"I wasn't sleeping!" I retorted. My thoughts had instantly drifted off to food, and I knew now I wouldn't even have time to eat.
"Whatever, just get going! You're going to be late!" He yelled strongly, from the living room.
I grabbed my stuff and was about to head out the door when he quickly pulled me back, into a loving hug.
"You know, you were really against living here when you were little, but look at you now. I'm so proud of you."
His words made me all gushy and sentimental, so I slid out of his hold and ran out the door yelling, "Bye!" while he waved at me from the door.
"Natsu, don't be sad." The young blonde muttered./em/p
"I'm not sad." I said, as I looked down at the floor, trying to avoid eye contact with the girl.
She lifted my chin and looked straight into my eyes, with her brown ones. "We will see each other again someday, it'll be okay"
I start to feel my eyes getting watery at the thought of my best friend leaving me, so I shifted my eyes away from her.
"I don't care, I just want to get out of here," I lied with much significance.
I could tell my words pained her to hear, even if I wasn't looking at her. I heard her sniffle and whisper a hoarse, "Goodbye Natsu."
I had eventually looked up again to see if she was still standing beside me, but she was far gone by then. She must have ran back into her mansion, awhile ago.
I could already hear my father calling me, telling me it was time to leave.
As we drove away, I had glanced out the window just in time to see her peaking around her domicile and looking straight at the car I settled in. When I saw her there, I finally started to cry, in realization to our predicament.
My thoughts were interrupted when I noticed my "best friend" poking my arm.
"What?" I asked in a agitated voice, as I looked straight at the person sitting next to me. He was looking directly forward towards the front of the room, signaling for me to look in that direction.
I grabbed his hand to get his attention, and he finally looked back at me. "Oh sorry, but look at the new girl" His shifted his eyes back to the front, gawking, so I turned to see who was there.
There stood a blonde haired girl, with her hair up in a pony tail, and her back faced to the class while talking to the Professor.
"What about her?" I inquired with a sigh, as I turned back to glower at him.
He grabbed me by my shoulders, with a grin, and excitedly exclaimed, "She's hot."
Don't you already have... I don't know? Like a zillion girlfriends already!?" I protested, when I looked back at him with a serious expression.
"First of all, 'zillion' isn't a number. Second of all, I don't have girlfriends, I have girl fans. They just can't keep their hands off of me." He said smugly, while he fanned himself by pulling his shirt to let air out from his chest, as if it was hot in the room.
"Gray, the player who doesn't know math." I chuckled, as he shot me a dirty look, but ended up laughing in agreement.
"Okay class, settle down. We have a new student joining us today. Please introduce yourself." Our teacher cheerfully spoke, gesturing to the blonde.
The girl finally turned to face the class, so we could finally see her. When I recognized her face, I literally fell out of my chair.
It was her.
"Uh.. Hi? I'm Lucy Heartfilia, and this is my first time going to a public school. I hope that we can all be friends." She declared with a soft smile.
I couldn't take my eyes off of her, because I knew who she was. I should have known the sound of her swift voice, I couldn't believe I didn't notice it was her, sooner.
Gray gazes over at me and notices me staring at her. "You want this one, Natsu?"
I couldn't peel my eyes off of her, so I just slightly nodded my head to answer his question.
"Okay Lucy, you can go ahead and sit beside Mr. Dragneel." The professor said, with a finger pointed to the chair beside me. She simply nodded, understanding where he wanted her to sit.
She strolled over to the wooden desk and plopped herself down in the chair. I peeked over at her every few seconds, to wait and see if she would notice me. I couldn't help but continue thinking, "she knows."
She stuck her hand out to me and smiled, a warm smile.
"Lucy," is all she said in greeting, and I couldn't help but hope she remembered my name too.
I gently took her hand and shook it, "Natsu."
"Okay Natsu, could you please tell your friend over there to stop drooling? It's kind of... gross." She pleaded with a sigh. I laughed at her statement, as I turned to face Gray to see that he actually had slobber dripping down his chin.
I gave him a firm slap on the back of his neck, to snap him out of his trance.
"Sorry," He said smoothly as he held his hand out to Lucy. "The name's, 'Gray.' Like the movie, 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'" He said with a wink, and I couldn't help myself but laugh at his stupidity. I mean c'mon, they are spelled entirely differently, and it's not even the guy's first name on that stupid movie!
She politely took his hand and shook it, "The name's, 'Lucy.' Like the movie, 'Lucy.'"We all cracked up at her comment.
With all the nagging and worrying I was doing in my head, I had finally decided to ask her what I've been meaning to.
With a deep breath, I blurted out, "Lucy, do you remember me at all?"
I couldn't help but ask my old friend, that question. I couldn't forget the last time we saw each other and how we left things. I wanted to apologize for how I had acted, so badly.
I could tell she was instantly baffled. "Um, have we met before? Because if we have, I am so sorry, but I have a really hard time remembering faces."
I felt my heart sink. We were childhood friends, how could she not remember me? I know I wasn't just an ordinary face to her, because we spent so much of childhood together.
I sunk down in my seat, and mumbled, "Oh."
The professor immediately started the lesson, the second I said that.
Things couldn't have been any worse.
