Hitting someone with your bike is most definitely not the best way to start your year.

And the fact that it was one of the popular guys at school didn't help it.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! It was just that I didn't see you and suddenly, you appeared!I am so sorry. Really, I didn't–"

She was cut off before she could continue her rambling. "Hey, I'm alright."

Lucy took his hand as he stood up.

She sighed. "Good thing you didn't die." And that's when she finally made eye contact with the person.

It was Natsu. He had bright pink hair and onyx eyes.

Lucy couldn't stop staring at his onyx eyes. For some reason,they were so alluring and mesmerizing.

Stop it Lucy, you're not getting hurt again.

She looked away, feeling the heat rising in her cheeks.

Natsu looked at her with a hint of curiousness on his face. "I haven't seen you before. You're new?"

"Yeah," she said shyly. "Freshman."

"I'm your senior then."

The ball rang, capturing the attention of students who were running into the big building.

"Oh, umm," Natsu said, hearing the bell like the others. "I better get going. See you around."

Lucy nodded, unable to say anything. She just picked up her bag that fell and made her way inside.

"Sorry," she said while rubbing her head from bumping into someone.

"You really have to stop running into me like that," a voice said. Lucy recognized it immediately as Natsu. "I'm starting to think that this is your way of getting my attention."

"Yeah right," Lucy said. "As if you were worth any of my time."

"Of course I am," he said, smirking at her.

"Egotistic much?" she retorted.

"Nah, not really," Natsu answered. "People just think I am."

"And you really don't mind?" Lucy asked. Without realising it, she was already making her way to the cafeteria with Natsu.

"Sure I did, at first. But then, what else can I do?" he told her. "As long as my friends know me, then it's okay. It's love."

"That's nice. I guess," she said. "You're lucky enough to have friends."

"You don't?" he asked her, eyebrows raised.

"People don't like me much," she sighed. "It's the circle of life." Then she started humming the song called 'The Circle Of Life' from the Lion King.

"Well, I like you," Natsu looked at her intently,then widening his eyes at what he just said. "I mean as a friend, you know."

"We're friends?" she asked. This was a new thing to her. She never made friends so instantly on the first day of school.

"Sure, why not?" he answered.

"Uh, because I am a loner and it will probably ruin your reputation?"

His eyebrows furrowed as he stared at her. "You think I'm that kind of person?"

"No. Maybe." She looked at him. "I don't know."

"Just so you know, I'm not." He smiled at her.

"Sorry,"she said sheepishly.

"It's alright," he told her as they reached the cafeteria. "Let me introduce you to my friends."

And that was the start of a friendship. No, wait. It wasn't. It was the start of Lucy's fall.

And whenever she did fall, she fell hard.
