The time we spent together Chapter 2
Heading towards her Design and technology class, Lucy lowers her eyes to look at the ground. She plays with her silver bracelet, which was around her right wrist. She tries to recall where she obtained this nicely crafted accessory but stops due to a wave of pain she receives in her head. Letting out a sigh, Lucy stops her in her tracks from disappointment.
Looking at the sign of the door, it states 'D&T room 1'. Lucy looks at her small sheet of notes, holding the locations of all her classes and nods her head. She slides the door open to be blasted by a wave of noise and music.
"YEAH!" A voice screams out, causing Lucy to cover her ears while glaring at the source of the sound.
Walking in, Lucy spots a certain salmon colored man standing on the table with a drill in his hand. He continues to ramble on about something, making the students in the classroom laugh at him.
"…" Lucy stays silent as she walks towards the back of the classroom. She sits herself down and begins to play with her fingers, internally begging for the teacher to hurry and come into the class quickly.
The teacher bursts into the classroom holding up his thumb, index and pinky finger up while folding the rest down. He jumps into the classroom and grins at Lucy. He spots Natsu misbehaving and throws a large stack of sand paper at him, triggering him to stumble and fall down.
"We are!" Scorpio starts off, "I told you to stop playing with the school utilities for fun!"
Natsu rubs the back of his head and places down the drill, apologizing, "Yes…"
"We are! Hey Lucy! How are you?" Scorpio asks Lucy, walking up to her and rubbing the top of her head.
"I'm good… I guess?" Lucy says plainly, as Scorpio proceeds to groom the top of her head.
Natsu walks up to the two, asking, "You two know each other?"
"We've known each other for a while…" Lucy says, blushing slightly from all the attention.
"We are! Me, along with a few teachers here, have known Lucy since we were still in high school!" Scorpio smiles. Everyone in the room gasps and whispers on how cool that is.
Lucy pouts faintly and turns her head away. Scorpio then walks into the front of the class, explaining about some project that they have to start. They have to create a wooden piece that holds significance to them.
After sketching out her plan quietly, Lucy finishes her draft. The sketch is a key with an elaborate design on the handle, with an Aquarius sign engraved into it. Lucy begins to pick at the small piece of wood with her carving knife. She smiles softly, thinking about her precious friend who has been with her since she was a small lady.
"What are you making there?" An energetic voice rings out to Lucy, making her jerk and look at the man who's calling her, "That's a pretty drawing! What is it about?"
Natsu leans in closer to Lucy's face, almost too close. She backs away slightly, covering her blush with her book. She coughs, making Natsu realize he is a bit close. He backs away while rubbing the back of his neck and laughing lighter-heartedly.
"…It's a key that is an exact replica to the one I have a home." Lucy says shyly, pointing to the zodiac sign on her key.
"Hmm… That's pretty cool," Natsu flings his arms in the air, "Do you want to know what I'm making?"
Before Lucy can respond, Natsu continues, "I'm making the school insignia! I'm all fired up for this project!"
Lucy blinks for a while and stares at Natsu; where has she heard that phrase before? She fiddles with her silver bracelet and stands up from her chair. Lucy walks away from Natsu and collects a small slab of wood, placing it into her hands.
As she continues to work, Lucy hears Natsu sit down next to her and continue making his piece. Lucy shrugs him off, going into a full concentration mode.
After a long period of time, Lucy hears Scorpio saying something about how it's now time for them to 'get out of his class' to go their next lesson. Lucy sighs deeply, picking up her no-where-near-finished work and places it into her allocated drawer. She finds that, yet again, she is the last one in the classroom to exit. However, that doesn't really bother her.
She exits the classroom, finding Natsu leaning against the wall outside the door. His eyes closed with his mouth hidden behind his scarf. Lucy raises a brow and continues to proceed to her next class.
Before she can walk off, Natsu opens his eyes and wraps his hand around Lucy's. She flinches at the sudden contact.
"…Are you okay?" Lucy asks plainly, trying not to display any emotion.
"Let's go to our next class together! Do you have Math?" Natsu asks with a wide grin on his face.
"Well… Yeah." Lucy feels Natsu tighten the grip around her hand.
"Great! Me too!" Natsu begins to run with Lucy trailing behind him. She question the strange mans behavior but stays silent, trying to figure out this strange sense of reminiscence.
~Timeskip to Lunch~
As Lucy walks down the hallway, heading to the cafeteria to meet Gray, she hears the students talking about her.
"Hey did you hear? Apparently the transfer student is really smart!"
"I heard she's better than Levy in math and science!"
"No way!"
"The people who were in her Art class said she's on Gray's level of sculpting!"
"I heard she's from that famous Heartfilia Company!"
"No way! Aren't they like, super rich?"
Lucy ignores the comments, despite them being a slight positive note, and continues to walk towards her destination.
Treading into the crowded canteen, she quickly scans the area and tries to find Gray. She see's him waving frantically at her, making Lucy walk towards him and his group.
"LUCE!" Natsu, who is also present at their table, pats on the space next to him, "Sit with me!"
Lucy hesitates and ruffles the back of her head, not really wanting to get too close to him. Though, she eventually gives in and places herself near Natsu.
Lucy sits in silence, eating while listening to their conversation about some topic. Though, she tuned out after a few minutes. Therefore, she has no idea what they are on about.
"So," Natsu coughs, "Lucy. I have something to ask you."
"What is it?" Lucy looks at Natsu with her bored eyes.
"Ten years ago, what were you doing?" Gray interrupts the two and asks the question for Natsu.
"Ten years ago…?" Lucy places her hand onto her forehead, only receiving a wave of pain. She blinks and closes her eyes from wincing. Her breathing rate becomes unsteady, making her breath in and out faster then usual. Natsu and Gray begin to panic; they don't really know what to do.
Lucy opens her now watery eyes, meeting Natsu black onyx eyes.
'Eh? Lucy? The only reason why I am friends with her is because she's got loads of money!' Remembering a certain fragement of her broken memory, Lucy raises her right arm and covers her dominant eye.
"…That bracelet." Natsu whispers at Lucy, gently brushing his right hand against her wrist with her bracelet.
The shaky Lucy opens her eyes, only to see an exact replica of her silver bracelet. However, instead of saying 'Always' like it does on hers, it states 'Together'. Lucy's pupils dilate and suddenly loose all life in them.
Her body becomes limp, causing her to fall off her seat and head towards the ground. Thankfully, Natsu catches her just in time, only to scream her name.
"LUCY!?"
