The sounds of drums broke the silence.
I felt nervous, something that was unusual for me.
This is it.
I began to run in the darkness, until a bright light blinded me for a few seconds. People screamed, rooting for us. For our team.
It was our big night, if we won this, then we would make it to the playoffs.
Every Saturday night when Magnolia Star had a match, people from all around Magnolia would come, not wanting to miss a game for anything in the world. American football was a big part of our city, the guys from Magnolia were practical famous! Their coach, Laxus Dreyar were one of the best, but he unfortunately had to retire after he was in a car accident.
"Are you ready Lucy!?" Lisanna's voice snapped me out of it. I looked at the crowed, who were screaming in excitement.
We did our our dance we had practiced for weeks, and the audience loved it. Running off the field the lights went off and the announcer were about to introduce Magnolia Star.
"Boys and girls! This is what we have been waiting for! Please welcome.. MAGNOLIA STAR!" Spotlights turned on, hitting the Magnolia Star logo. Out came Natsu Dragneel, the quarterback, shortly followed by his other teammates. Girls screamed higher then ever when the boys came running out. Things like 'So hot', 'Marry me' and the most common of all, 'Have my babies'. As the Captain of the cheerleaders, wold I rather prefer someone with more intelligence. How can I describe them without being rude? Oh wait, there is none. They are all dirtbags thinking with their dicks.
I looked over my shoulder, only to be met with drooling teammates. Well, the other cheerleaders are the same. Only caring about a guys look. That's maybe the main reason why this kinds of people are destined to be with each other.
I stared at Natsu as he were about to pass by. He meat my gaze, we kept the eye contact until he was out of reach.
"Jerk."
the first round was over and Magnolia Star was already leading twelve to two. We had already gotten two touchdowns! Unfortunately, Natsu were the one who placed the first touchdown. I'm sure we'll hear about it in class on Monday.
How I hated to be right.
This day cold only go down from here.
"You was so hot out there! You were on fire!"
"Do you want to study later this afternoon with me Natsu?"
"I thought we had plans after school?" It was so annoying when girls acted this way. But the most annoying part off all, was that I had to fight for my own seat. Because I was the 'lucky' girl to be seated behind Natsu Dragneel. Some of us were actually trying to get over their notes before the test started. But it was hard with a girl sitting on your books. Grabbing my pencil, I stabbed her in the ass.
"What the-!"
"Get your asses back to place, I don't got all day." Gildarts slammed some papers at his desk, most likely the test. The girl who had sat on my desk looked angry at me, as she seated herself at her seat. That's what you get when you sit with your big ass on my desk!
"No talking or any kind of communication is allowed." He began to give out the tests.
"Lucy."
"What?" I looked up at the familiar voice. What did he want know.
"Give me your pen."
"What? No."
"I need it."
"So do I, forget it." Of course he didn't bring the most important thing of all, the thing to write the fucking test with.
"Don't be a bitch. My team won on Saturday." Like that's the best excuse.
"Well since you ask so nicely, how can I say no." Does he want me to give him the pen or what? He could at least asked without calling me a bitch. I hope he fails this test. Ignoring him I turned around looking at my nails.
"Fine. Does anybody have a pen?"
"Take mine!"
"No, mine!" I had to dodge as flying pens came across the room.
"Calm down! The test will begin now!"
It didn't take lone until I was finished. I was the first one to finish, like usual. With only A's I'm pretty satisfied with my performance this year. But straight A's was what I needed. To apply on the writing school I've always dreamed off. Art of Writing Academy, AWA was my dream. I wanted to be a writer, that's why especially needed an A in English literature.
As I was walking past Natsu, were I looking down on his cheat, it was completely blank. If you look away from the scribbles he calls drawings.
"Nice drawings, Dragneel."
"No, talking!"
I handed over my paper and went back to my seat, while Natsu looked away in anger.
When all of the students were done, rose Gildarts up from his chair.
"Now that's out of the way, I hope all of you studied well and passed this test. And the next assignment are everyone going to be paired up with one another. This assignment will count eighty percent of you grade. I have already decided your partner, so no need to worry about that." A sigh of disappointment filled the room. "Eleven o'clock will the list of pairs hang up in the lunch hall. With further information on the assignment. Now go brats."
Levy waited outside the classroom for me, greeting me with a big hug. I hadn't seen her since Saturday before we preformed on the field.
"You were great Lu-chan!"
"You think so?"
"Yeah! There was nothing to be afraid off, you looked great out there like usual!" Levy was a good friend of me, she always new what to say and what to do. She knew I had been so unsure of the new number.
"Thanks Levy."
"I was slightly disappointed at the performance you guys made. I just imagined something more spectacular." Natsu's voice came from behind Levy. He leaned against the wall and straightened his uniform.
"What do you want Dragneel?"
"I'm just being honest with you."
"No, you're just being a dick." What was his problem, why did he always have to start a fight.
"Oh, you're right. See ya." Natsu walked away, looking satisfied with himself.
"Why do you hate each other again?" That brought back old memories. I had known Natsu my whole life, but I could only remember hating his guts. He was a jerk even as a six year old, when he decided to burn my favorite doll. We went to the same kindergarten, same elementary school, high school and now university. My mortal enemy was bound to haunt me for the rest of my life. He is so superficial. His always had friends and girls surrounding him, something that poisoned his mind. Making him to the douchebag he is today. I remember the day he became my mortal enemy.
Sitting on the cold ground alone, I watched as the other children played with each other. A voice startled me, It came from behind. When I turned around I saw Natsu. I had cried the whole day, as no one didn't want to play with me.
"Hey Luce, do you want to play with me?" He smiled at me reaching out his hand. He asked me what I wanted to hear and didn't seamed bothered by it.
"Yeah!" Grabbing his hand, Natsu pulled me after him. Forgetting the fact he destroyed my precious doll. I just wanted to have a friend. "Where are we going?"
"Behind the school, I have something for you."
It was dark behind the large building, as the sun never shone there. It was scary, maybe he just tricked me after all? Natsu stopped and looked around.
"Close your eyes." He leaned closer, awkwardly. I closed my eyes and wished for him to kiss me. I heard movement around me, and it suddenly sounded like there was somebody else there. I felt a hand grab my pony tale and I opened my eyes to see Natsu holding my blond hair. Tears began to stream down my face, while Natsu just ran away.
I sat there for an hour before anyone found me. It was humiliating and mean. That day, Natsu Dragneel became my mortal enemy.
I will never forgive him.
Elementary school was the worst.
"It's a long story." Touching my hair were he had cut it off. "I should get going, I have cheerleader practice soon."
"Alright, see you later then Lu-chan!"
I began to walk in the direction of the football field. It started exactly eleven, so my partner in English literature just had to wait. Football boys were walking in front of me, eyeing me up and down. They acted like animals.
"Looking good Lucy." One of them commented.
"Are you busy later tonight? I can take you for a ride in my car." Ignoring them, I tried to walk past them. Grabbing me by the wrist, he stopped me. "Is that a yes?"
"I'm busy, sorry."
"We have time for a little round, if we're fast." Like I said, the only thing those guys does, is seriously to think with their dicks.
"Ey." I turned around happily at the sound of Loke's voice. "What are you doing with my girlfriend? She's obviously not interested."
"Let's go." The two boys let go off me and walked away. I loved Loke for doing things like that for me, he was always there to watch out for me.
"Thanks Loke, I owe you one."
"Then let me take you out on a date?"
"In your dreams!" I grabbed his arm and snuggled close to him. "Can you check who I'm paired up with on the English literature assignment?"
"Sure, I'll text you."
"You're the best!" Loke was my best friend. He moved to Magnolia in fourth grade, he was just like me, with no friends. I think that's one of the reasons why we clicked right away.
"Now if you can excuse me, I'm going to take my seat to watch you girls practice!" Loke ran of to the grandstand.
After the practice was finished, we all walked back to the changing room. Standing in front of my locker, taking out my shampoo and conditioner. One of the other girls jumped on me.
"You're so lucky Lucy!"
"Yeah! I wish it was me!" What are they talking about?
"Eh?" Had I missed something important? My phone vibrated, catching my attention. It was Loke.
'There is something you have too see. Meet me outside as soon as possible. I don't think you would like it.'
The shower had to wait, I could shower when I got to my room. Changing fast as I could, I ran out. Loke stood outside waiting for me as he had said.
"That was fast."
"Well, you made it sound important!"
"You should see it for yourself." Loke was acting so mysterious, what was up with that?
"Just tell me what it is Loke."
"You know the English literature assignment?" Oh no, this doesn't sound good.
"Yeah?"
"Your partner is.. Natsu Dragneel."
I was wrong.
It could be worse.
Well here you have it, another story. Starting a new story isn't the best decision, but I needed to get the scenario out of my system! Hope you like it! I'm sorry for that it was so short, but it was only a taste.
If you guys like my new story, then I will continue writing on it. So tell me what you think!
I'm working on the next chapter to 'Fairy Tail Industries', so don't worry! It's on the way!
02:09 am.. I should probably go to bed now. I have to stop working at night!
Well, you know what comes next like usual..
Have a nice day!
