*~Wendy POV~*

The bell had just rung for third period and I gathered my stuff from English. The walk to my next class, Design History, wasn't too long thankfully. And, yes, Design History is just as boring as it sounds. But, it looks good to a college, so I signed up for it. The class was small enough that Freshman like myself, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors could all take it.

Once I made it there, I took a random seat and waited for the teacher to come in. I only really knew Chelia, but she was talking to her boyfriend, Romeo, and I didn't want to disturb them. I knew others, but we didn't talk too often in school.

"Ok, students, listen up." Mr. Clive spoke as everyone quieted down. "Ms. Vermillion and I agreed that we would do a group assignment for the end of the first semester. Your assignment is to make notes on the chapters we've studied, create a video to go along with it, and explain everything. The video must be 4-5 minutes long. No more than that or points will be taken off. You have this weekend and all of next week to finish it. Turn it in on Monday. You may choose your partner. If there are any questions, come and ask me."

My jaw dropped when he said choose your partners. I barely knew any of these people and the one person I did know would work with her boyfriend.

I looked around the room and everyone seemed to be paired up already, except for one Junior.

Natsu Dragneel.

I'm sure he's nice to hang out with out of school, but he seems to be a slacker who doesn't care about his grades, or people in general. His "friends" must've left him to partner with other people.

Trying to make the first step at being his partner, I sat down beside him. "Hey." I smiled at him.

He looked at me with a blank expression on his face, before muttering, "Hi."

'Geez, no need to be so excited.' Were my thoughts at the time.

"Since you don't have a partner and I don't have a partner, I was thinking that we could be partners for the project..?" I held my breath after I asked.

Natsu looked at me again and shrugged, so I took it as a yes.

I smiled widely, "Great!" I wrote my contact information on a piece of paper and handed it to him. "Here's my phone number," he took it then gave me his on another sheet.

Since it was Friday, I went home, did most of my homework, ate dinner, talked with my mom a little bit, stayed up late watching Netflix before I went to bed.

Saturday morning I woke up and decided to put some effort into the project. We had eight days to get it done and turned in after all. I grabbed my phone and texted Natsu.

9:43 a.m

Me: Hey! I was wondering if you are free tomorrow. Maybe we could meet up at the library and get started on notes or something?

Four hours go by and I still haven't heard anything from him. I didn't think much of it. I gave him the benefit of doubt, maybe he was busy or something. The rest of the day he didn't reply.

The next morning when I woke up I saw a text from Natsu.

12:48 a.m

Natsu: I'm not doing anything. Sunday (today lol) sounds good. Meet you there at 10. Kay?

I found it kind of weird that he texted me at midnight, but shrugged it off. It was only seven so I had plenty of time to get ready.

7:08 a.m

Me: Okay. 10:00 sounds good. I'll probably stop for something to eat. Want anything?

I asked him if he wanted something to eat, so it wouldn't be totally awkward. I was going to pay for it all.

8:03 a.m

Natsu: Yeah. Breakfast sounds good :)

He didn't say thank you, but I wasn't going to get upset about not getting a thanks. Maybe he would thank me when I got there.

At 10 I got to the library, but I didn't see Natsu.

'Maybe he's going to be late..?'

I waited for an hour and ended up eating all of the food. I was getting impatient, but kept my composure and texted him.

11:43 a.m

Me: Hey... I'm at the library. Where are you?

11:56 a.m

Natsu: Sorry. Something came up. Start without me, okay? I'll catch up.

Red flags started going off in my head, but I let it go.

We learned 15 chapters in total that semester and I decided to give myself the extra chapter; group project chivalry.

I got notes for three chapters finished, the basic layout for my notes, and got some ideas for the video. It was around 6 p.m and I decided to call my mom and go home.

I passed out without any dinner and woke up, then did my usual morning routine.

I walked to school and did my usual school work until I got to third period. Everyone was sitting by their partners since we would be working on the project in class. I sat by Natsu and got out my laptop.

"Okay, so I split the chapters up so you get seven and I get eight. You can start on your notes and I'll get started on the video. After you catch up then you can do the rest, okay?" He nodded at my plan and got started on his notes. Every once in awhile I would catch him looking at me. A blush crept up on my cheeks, but I kept working.

At some point he started goofing off and that's when I realized Natsu was an awful partner.

Natsu went to other groups and bothered them. Some of his friends started goofing off with him and I could tell their partners were in the same boat as me.

Levy, who was Gajeel's partner, broke her pencil after trying for a good 3 minutes to get him to help her with something. Loke's partner, Lucy, eventually gave up and put her head down in frustration. Even Romeo started acting silly and Chelia just rolled her eyes.

We all gave each other this look that said, 'I feel bad for you and myself.'

The four of us grouped together somehow and ended up exchanging and comparing notes. The end of the third period bell rung sooner than I thought and I had completed a third of the video. We hadn't gotten much progress done. I had completed three notes and a third of the video. If we wanted extra credit, we could make it into an audio. I doubted Natsu knew it wasn't mandatory, so I told him he could record his notes on his own time.

I went home and plopped down on my bed. I finished two more notes (5 in total) and texted Natsu again.

5:26 p.m

Me: I finished five notes already. How many have you done?

5:32 p.m

Natsu: I've done two. I'll do more when we meet up on Wednesday.

I didn't remember agreeing to do anything on Wednesday, but shrugged it off.

5:36 p.m

Me: O.K We're meeting up at the library, right?

5:40 p.m

Natsu: Yeah. At 5

Wednesday rolls along and I go to the library at 5. Once again, he doesn't show. I was tired of him not showing up without a proper excuse.

I formed a group message with Levy, Lucy, and Chelia. Levy, Lucy and I were already friends before the project so I had their numbers.

5:38 p.m

Me: Are your partners not showing up for when you're supposed to meet at too?

Lucy: Yeah! Loke and I were supposed to meet up at a café, but he never showed.

Chelia: Tell me about it! Romeo was supposed to come over my house to talk about notes two hours ago!

Levy: I feel your pain. Me and Gajeel were supposed to meet at the park yesterday and he stood me up.

Our conversation lasted for a few minutes before we all said bye. I stayed at the library until 9:30 p.m and got all of my notes done and half of the video finished. My mom, Grandeeney, came and picked me up from the library.

As soon as I got home, I called up Natsu to ask why he bailed out on me again. Like I said before, I was tired of him not showing up without an excuse or anything.

"Hey Natsu, can I ask something?"

"Shoot." His voice sounded like he was worried and didn't want to answer any of my questions.

"Why do you keep cancelling out on me? I get that you might be busy, but the least you could do is work on your half at home. I've already finished my notes and half of the video." I didn't want to sound rude or like I was complaining. I was lucky to have a partner at all, considering that I'm a Freshman and he's a Junior.

I heard him sigh from the other end of the line. "I know and I'm sorry about that. I'll explain it all on Friday, ok?"

It was my turn to sigh, but I agreed anyway. "Yeah, ok. Anyways, I'll send you the video so you can finish the rest of it. We can record audio on Saturday at the library at 11. Ok?" I formed another plan off the top of my head and thank my lucky stars he agreed.

Friday come by faster than I thought and I came into third period with a smile on my face. The due date was on Monday and we were almost done. Of course, that was me anticipating that Natsu had finished his notes and the video.

I sit down beside him and we talk for a bit before getting down to business.

"So, why did you keep missing out on meet ups?" I asked him.

Natsu sighed and looked down. "I was studying and finishing up other work. Wendy, you're the first person that hasn't left me in a group assignment. Others would give up on me and find another partner. I have a lot of late work and studying to catch up on, so I had to do all that first. My dad talked with me and said I needed to stop hanging with the friends that I have and hang with more people like you."

I blushed at his speech and thought it was cute and sweet.

"I'm glad you're studying and finishing up all of your work. I'm really happy for you, Natsu." I gave him a little hug to emphasize my point.

"Anyways, have you finished the video and your notes?" I asked him, hopeful for a yes.

"Yeah, I did." He opened his laptop and showed me all of his work. His notes were so clean and got straight to the point. The video was fantastic and beautifully made. Saying I was shocked was an understatement and I don't have any other words to explain how I felt.

"All we have to do is record our notes, explain them, and we're done." Natsu said and I smiled brightly. We gave each other a high five, a fist bump, and even a pat on the back as if we had felt each other's pain. And then we just took an easy break day. Well, I did, Natsu was working on his Math homework from three weeks ago.

The lunch bell rang and I walked out with Natsu.

"Hey, can I meet you on Saturday at your house instead of the library?" It wasn't too weird and I did know him, so I agreed and gave him my address.

The next day, Natsu rings our doorbell around 10 a.m. My mom didn't know who he was at first and thought he was my boyfriend.

"You and your boyfriend have fun, Wendy. I'll go make some snacks." I blushed at her words and Natsu shrugges it off.

After an hour of recording, editing, and eating, we finished. It was such a relief to know that you had finished your work for a boring, but difficult, class. We talked for a bit about classes and other random topics. After getting to know him, Natsu's not that bad of a person.

"I was wondering if you could meet me at the school library during lunch on Monday." Natsu asked me out of nowhere.

"Okay." It was kind of suspicious, but I didn't say anything.

On Monday, we turn in our project and the grades would be posted on Friday. Like Natsu asked, I went to the school's library during lunch. It's where I went to eat lunch anyway since the Cafeteria was way too loud for me. I looked around and Natsu was nowhere to be seen. I sighed out in frustration and grabbed the first book of the Harry Potter series. I had read all of them, but I liked re-reading the series.

Most of the pages were blank except for one which read:

Will

I shrugged it off and grabbed the next one.

You

It was getting kind of creepy and I put that one back and grabbed the third one.

Go

When I reached for the fourth one, I thought someone was pranking me.

Out

By then I was mentally freaking out, but was determined to read at least one Harry Potter book and got hold of the fifth book.

With

I was scared of the sixth and final one, but read it anyway.

Me?

Once I realized what the message was I dropped the sixth book and turned around to see Natsu holding a rose for me.

"I know that I'm not the most qualified person to be your boyfriend, but I'm hoping that you'll say yes. Over the short period of time that I've known you, I've developed feelings that could only be described as love. So will you go out with me?" Natsu asked nervously, and I thought about it for a second.

It was a rough time with him being my partner, but he's changing. Not only with his work, but also in his attitude. He's more open and kind to me than before.

"Yes, I'll go out with you." I took the rose and smiled at him.

Maybe this group assignment wasn't such a bad idea.
