My first story. Okay so it won't look like it, but this wasn't originally my account so, yeah. But, enjoy.
Lucy Heartfilia walked down the hall, rocking a pair of heels and the school uniform. She had her binder in her left hand a pencil in her other. She was a straight A student, and the richest kid in her school. People tried to befriend her for her money, but she would ignore them.
There was one kid who didn't care about her money.
Natsu Dragneel sat in his same old, carved on desk that he always sat at during class. Today had been unlucky for him, arriving early to class. He was there even before Lucy! The teacher wasn't even in the room yet. He was about ready to go and explore the hall to pick a fight with some strong looking kid, but Lucy walked in when he stood out of his seat and approached the door.
"Natsu? What are you doing here so early?" Lucy asked.
"I forgot to set my clocks back an hour." He replied.
"You want me to come over today and fix it for you? I know you'll probably forget again."
"Thanks Luce."
"No problem."
Lucy took her seat next to Natsu's and looked at the clock. There was thirty minutes before class started and Natsu was here. She knew she wouldn't be able to get her usual routine done today, but that was okay. She never did mind talking to Natsu.
"So Natsu, you do realize that this is our last year before we graduate, right?" She asked.
"Of course. I've been keeping track of the days I can finally get out of this hell hole." He replied.
"So what do you going to do when you graduate?"
"I'd need money first before I can do my ultimate goal, so get another job."
"That's so unlike you. You usual just rush into thinks without thinking about it. So what's your ultimate goal that's got you plainning?"
"I'm going to become the drag racing king!" He pumped his fist into the air.
"T-that's dangerous! You could die!"
"At least I'd be doing something I love."
"Mmmm. Fine it's a good dream. What would your street name be?"
"The Salamander."
"Why that?"
"That's because when I drive little trails of fire are going to be left in my tracks. Besides, I'm putting a fire dragon on the sides of my car."
"Doesn't that cost a lot. Like hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
"It's a custom car so probably."
"How much do you have now?"
Natsu reached into his pocket and pulled out everything in it
"Uh..." He started counting "Fifty-eight dollars and this chocolate chip." He said and stuck the chip into his mouth. He coughed it out. "Okay, not a chocolate chip."
"That's not even one one-hundredth of what you need. Sigh, I'll help you out and don't put anything in your mouth that you don't know what it is."
"What, really?"
"Yeah. I am the head of the Heartfilia estate. I have a lot of connections Natsu. Besides we're friends right?"
"Right!"
Natsu held out his hand and Lucy shook it. They were now business partners. The bell rung and all the kids started piling into class before the teacher showed up. Natsu pulled out his knife and started to carve a dragon into his desk, that was going to be replaced because of all of his other drawings. Lucy pulled out her stuffed spiral notebook, ready to take more notes for her class and help Natsu study.
Today though, it wasn't her note taking journal. It was her finance journal. It was going to take most of the money she had if she didn't have connections. She still wanted to see how much money would be left if she had to pay for all of it. She first went into her contacts section and circled all of the names and numbers she would need to call.
She flipped into her money section of her divided journal. She put the pencil into her mouth and started to chew on the eraser. She forgot that taxes were due soon. They never costed much since she wasn't home often, but she would need to remember to pay Virgo and all of her other servants. Already this plan was becoming a hassle, but it was Friday and next week was Winter Break. She would stay up as long as it was needed in order to get things figured out. this was her best friends future, and she wanted to make sure he had the best future possible.
