repost! I sometimes re read this and wince slightly at my bad writing, so I wrote it slightly better.
yeah...
"HI! My name is Natsu, I'm new here!" the pink haired boy announced after jumping in front of me. I blinked when he did in surprise, and wondered, what was with that guy? I didn't reply, just studied his face, mind blank. He looked really hyper, fresh new and innocent, this told me that he was new at this school straight away. For one, nobody at that school had approached me other than the dare devils I called my friends, everybody else seemed scared. "...well?"
I was brought back to reality "Well what?" the pink haired boy started grinning, like somebody on drugs. Hopefully he wasn't, I thought, because there are way too many druggies at this school and quite frankly they pissed me off.
not moving from his position of invading my air space, 'Natsu' carried on trying to conversate with me "What's your name?"
I didn't talk to new people, and if new people talk to me their lucky if I don't kill them, so this 'Natsu' guy was really lucky. I made the friends I have now when I was really small, and not anti-social, when my psychologist hadn't tried to tell me I had social anxiety, which I haven't, I wasn't scared of talking I just… felt awkward doing so. Awkward quicky turned to hating talking, with anyone but my family and friends.
Taking a step back I replied "why should I tell you?" and tried to make my way around the boy so I could actually make it into school, I was always late as it is and the one day I wasn't mr pink hair showed up. To be fair, I wasn't looking forward to all the 'oh wow Grays on time!' I would have gotten.
"Because... well, you're supposed to when introducing yourself, didn't you know?"
"And what if I don't want to?" I ask overlooking the 'didn't you know?' that had made a few passers-by giggle, obviously stopped by the death glare I sent them.
"Then..." while he was trailing off and looking for an answer, I took the moment of idiocy to make my way around him. This idiot almost made me late! I think someone would of put him up to it, some really brave soul.
Then, from the corner of my eye I spotted Loke, my ginger haired best friend, leaning on the wall grinning at me like a damn Cheshire cat. Of course, I think, he did mention yesterday that there will be a new kid he knew starting at the school. Lucy got all exited, as she does, wanting to make a new friend or something while Erza gave them a death glare for talking in class. As usual, I just ignored it because I can't be arsed with new people. So why wouldn't Loke would do this? He saw a chance to piss me off and he took it without a thought.
That explained the new kid trying to introduce himself to me, Loke probably told him I wanted to meet him and that I was nice and sociable, the thought made me roll my eyes. Which it pretty cruel, who would do that? To his friend as well! Send him off hoping to meet a nice and friendly guy only to be rejected and sent walking with their head not so high. Good for him that I'm in a good mood.
That's the beginning of my day, and for me? That was action packed, I normally didn't talk to anyone until lunch time, and I would go straight home after school, and repeat, over and over until I leave school, then collage, then university, then work, and then we all die. Great life, eh?
I took my seat in class, first lesson was math. Isn't that great? What a good way to start the day, staring down at a sheet of paper covered with numbers and symbols that wouldn't make sense until you attempted to solve them, and I'm pretty sure I've never used algebra outside school.
"Oh you're the new boy aren't you?" I only just hear the teacher say, I look up and see the pink hair boy standing next to Loke. Oh great he's in my class, I should of guessed, god damn it. "Well, you can sit next to Loke since he's the only one you know, but be warned I might change it later,"
I don't know if you've guessed by now but I sit on one side of my 'best friend'. It was only eight in the morning and I was already gritting my teeth, that was my newest record. I normally only do i when Lucy swoons for some boy or Loke tries his best to flirt with her or Erza (and ends up with a bruised cheek).
"Hey Gray!" Loke says sitting next to me. I respond with a grunt and carry on with my work, as that is what I'm supposed to be doing, not talking to the traitor next to me. "You've met Natsu right?"
"Yes." I reply scribbling the answer to the math 'starter' down on the word sheet. 'Factorise (X+6)(X+5)' which I answered X2+11X+30, and I still don't get why we do algebra, what am I going to 'Factorise' in the future? Oh, right, getting off subject, sorry.
"Your name is Gray? Weird name..." Natsu says getting a pen off Loke, first day and he doesn't have equipment, wait, why is that what I'm focused on?! HE JUST INSULTED ME!
"Oh?" I say trying not to sound annoyed, though my voice was filled with sarcasm.
"Yeah, it's a colour," The pink head replied. I just ignored him, he isn't worth a reply, god he's annoying, surprisingly people couldn't usually annoy me this much, especially once I have just met, and they normally would know that I wanted to be left alone. And when someone wants to be left, you don't bombard them with your presence do you? In my opinion I take that behaviour as annoying, and if you disagree I really wouldn't care less. "Hey? You listening?" he asks me. No, I am not.
"He's not the most social guy," Lucy says sitting the other side of me "Hi! I'm Lucy!" She says, almost louder than the boy himself. Almost.
"The names Natsu dragneel," He grinned and stuck his hand out to greet the girl. She accepted happily.
"And I'm Erza, any funny business and you're as good as dead,"
"O-okay Erza, Lucy, pleased to meet you," Natsu says, his happy face slightly effected by fear, and I don't blame him. God that scarlet haired woman scares everybody she talks to, but looking passed that she's got a heart of gold. And she thinks with her heart and fist, so me; Lucy and Loke can pass with anything as little as a broken arm, everyone else can fear their death of Erza Scarlet so nobody really bothers us, except for the idiots who seem to be fearless.
Later on when I was on my way home I remembered the events of the day. I had every single class with the pink haired idiot, and he had eaten with us too. I couldn't escape him! Well, at least I'm alone on the way home. Right? My home is on the other side of town, so I'm the only one who walks this way after a certain distance. It's even through a path in the woods, so I-
My thought track paused as the words "HEY! GRAY!" were shouted. I stood still in the spot I paused. No. Way. I dared to look over my shoulder slightly to see... Pink. He has the same route home. Oh great, so I don't even get five minutes of silence anymore? This is hell, why do I deserve this?
Without returning the 'hi' (or even staying still for more than five seconds after the realisation that the moron seemed to be stalking me) I carried on my walk, faster than the stole before, but that was when I could actually have some peace. "GRAY! ITS ME! NATSU!" Yes I am aware of that, that's why I don't want to stay... actually I wouldn't stay for anybody but that's wasn't the point. Though after a while the moron does catch up with me, as he was running. Who runs after someone who clearly hates you?
"You haven't talked to me all day… is something wrong?" He asks.
"Yes! You! Because you're an idiot and I don't communicate with idiots," I reply, picking up my speed slightly.
"Well you talk to Loke, Lucy and Erza,"
"Because there not idiots," I say breaking into a run.
"DON'T RUN!" he shouts after me, running again, though it's not going to help as I am the fastest runner in my class.
"I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!" I reply, honestly sounding kind of stubborn, but I don't care, I can't get any worse than this guy. I finally reach my door, after calling for my mum I find she's not in so I guess I do get a small silence. But I guess I'll make dinner for me, mum and sister, though sis doesn't get in until about seven. Oh well, they will appreciate it, see I'm not that bad of a guy! At least not to people I like.
