"Be my girlfriend."
Lucy blinked, Once, Twice. Thrice.
"... Excuse me?"
"I said, be my-", the pinkette in front of her started (pink hair, seriously?!), but the blonde cut him off.
"No, um, I heard what you said. Just, uh... Who the hell are you?"
"Ah", he grinned, a wide, boyish grin. "My name's Natsu. Natsu Dragneel."
Lucy let out an exasperated sigh. She was way too tired for this. After a long day of school and two hours of Taekwondo (yes, Taekwondo), all she wanted to do was take a nice, relaxing bath and go to sleep. She really didn't need a random stranger popping out and asking her out. Really, no.
"So, um, Natsu..." He nodded eagerly. Lucy pressed her fingers against her forehead and continued speaking. "Why would you suddenly ask me that?" He stared at her blankly. The blonde sighed again. "Look, I mean, I don't even know you-"
"I told you, my name is Natsu", he interrupted, brows furrowed.
Lucy couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Yeah, great. Natsu Dragneel, a random guy with pink hair who all of a sudden decides to ask me out. That tells me a lot."
"Ya see?", Natsu (was that his real name?) exclaimed while resuming his bright smile, "You know all that stuff about me already!" Lucy nearly face-palmed.
"Okay, listen", she started, her feet carrying her towards her house down the street. The pinkette furrowed his brows in concentration, listening intently. That was kind of cute. Ugh. She was definitely tired.
"I do not know you. All I know is what I just said, and even that I'm not sure of. I have no idea what your motives are," she saw his mouth opening, probably to say something, and continued talking quickly. "And I don't really want to know either." His mouth closed, a small pout on his face. He was like a little kid.
The blonde pinched the bridge of her nose. They were getting closer to her house by the second. She wasn't sure if showing this guy where she lived was a good idea, he could be a pervert or a stalker, or both, for all she knew, but she was too exhausted to worry about that.
"So, that being said, I honestly do not want to go out with you." She put emphasis on the word not, just to make sure he didn't misunderstand.
He pouted some more. "But whyyyy", he whined.
Ugh. "Like I said, I don't know you."
"We can get to know each other then."
"No."
"Why?" They had reached the door.
"I said no. And that's final", Lucy said while unlocking the door.
She stepped inside and turned around to see Natsu open his mouth to retort; she quickly slammed the door in his face.
Lol. Where did this even come from?
I'm planning on making this a shorter series, way shorter than HFFL will be anyway. The chapters are shorter as well.
Well, please review! :D
