-It was the start of 10th grade, everybody was energetic and eager to chat with their best friends.

Natsu and his best friend, Grey, chatted along the sidewalk. Natsu was popular, mainly because he was hot, cute, and had a super charming personality. "So, how was your summer?" Natsu asked."Oh, same old same old. I went to ski." Grey answered."Skiing, huh? No surprise because you are an ice cube." Natsu grinned. He loved making fun of Grey.

"That's funny hearing it from a boy with pink hair." Grey teased. "STOP IT! THIS IS MY NATURAL COLOR!"Natsu covered up his head defensively. "I bet you got the DNA from a cherry blossom tree." Grey laughed. Natsu just gave him a death glare.

"So did you see any cute girls this summer?" Natsu changed the topic, eager to talk about something other than his hair. "Eh, they were okay. But there might be a lot of cute chicks this year. Not that you don't have girls falling heads over heels for you already." Grey nudged Natsu with his elbow.

"SHUT UP!" Natsu blushed, ever since he started football, girls have been following him around in school and trying to act like 20 year olds in front of him.

-THE GREAT DIVIDE LINE-

Lucy tied her hair up in a high ponytail, pulled on a sweater, jeans, kicked on her sneakers and walked outside of her house.

Life was pretty boring for her. She has a father named Gildarts, and her mom is dead. She also has a brother named Sting.

She was a nerd, all right. But to put it in other terms, a shy, quiet girl who loves to read and draw.

She never was in the popular crowd, in front of them, she is just a "thing" to make fun of.

But when Lucy meets Natsu, her life isn't going to be plain anymore.

Hey guys! So this is my lovey dovey non-scary high school romance series with Nalu! :) If you want to check out something dark, mysterious, and also Nalu fan fiction, you can check out Darkest Daze, which is also by me!

I just want y'all to know that this story is also on Wattpad, of course I am the author. I just wanted to put it on here because, the Fairy Tail community is pretty big here and I love the fan fics here! :) And also, I'm moving to China! I really really really don't want to, but you know, parents. *sigh* My plane ride is going to be on this Friday, and I am so nervous about this! So this few weeks, updates may be a little so so. But I already have written tons of chapters on Wattpad, so expect a daily upload until chapter 3! :D Now, without further delay, let's get into this baby.

The bell rang, alerting all students to shut their mouths and hurry towards class like chicken.

"Hey!" Lisanna scurried towards Natsu, her hair perfect and her lip gloss shiny and scented.

"Hey, Lisanna." Natsu answered back. Lisanna always tries to act like she is his girlfriend, but Lisanna is not his type.

*No hate towards Lis, it's just I ship Nalu more and there has to be an antagonist*

"So~How was your football team try out?" Lisanna winked and adjusted her cheerleader costume.

"It was great. The coach said I was a really nice athlete and Grey got in as well." Natsu scurried towards class, but Lisanna just followed him around like his little minion or something. He didn't like showing off. In fact, the coach elected him to be the captain of the football team because he was so good, but he didn't tell anyone else about it. But the word has already been spread around the school about it.

"Omg, he is like, so cute!"

"Hey dude! You seem so chill!"

Natsu was honestly tired about the people sticking up to him and trying to get as close to him as he can just because he was "popular". He's one of the few people who actually gets popular by being NICE and not MEAN. (cough cheerleaders cough)

"Mrs. Evergreen... Here it is!" Natsu read his schedule carefully. Science with Mrs. Evergreen.

He quickly found himself a seat in the second roll next to Grey.

He slowly examined the room. Popular girls twirling their hair at him, people doodling in their binders, boys half sleeping. Yeah, it's pretty much the same as last year.

Mrs. Evergreen walked in, clearing her throat. "Ahem, I am Mrs. Evergreen. And I have a FUN little lab to kick off the first day of school! And be sure to grab a textbook on your way out because your homework tonight is gonna be to read pg.28-29!"

Of course, almost no one reads textbooks and they scribble on their planner: No homework.

"I paired in off randomly." Mrs. Evergreen smiled. It was some scary words. That means no goofing around with friends, no gossiping with your besties, and EVERYONE LOVES THAT!

Everyone groaned and whined like 5 years olds, but they were doomed.

"Ahem, Grey Fullbuster with Juvia Lockester. You will be at station 1." Mrs. Evergreen announced.

Everyone waited in the room to be called, frowning or smiling as they get partners.

"I really wanted to be with Natsu!" A girl said to her friend, who shrugged.

"Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfalia? Station 9. " Mrs. Evergreen looked up.

Natsu walked towards the lab table number nine. Great, this better not be one of those super annoying squeaky girls that sound like they are high on helium.

Lucy carefully set her binders down on the other side of the table. She wanted nothing to do with the popular crowd. She didn't want to get teased. By trying to get ignored, it made her a lot bully-proofed. She transferred to the school in grade 9 because of all the bullying that went on in her old school,but it's behind her now.

She couldn't help sneaking a peak at Natsu, he was just way to cute to ignore.

His salmon colored hair, his crooked smile, his onyx eyes, everything was absolute perfection.

They were about the same height, but Natsu was half an inch taller.

*OMG OMG OMG READ THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR MORE! SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!*
