Chapter 1: Danger!
Normal POV
Lucy quiver get to the table phone: "Hey! Natsu! Are you busy at the moment?"
"Kind of! We're party at Lisanna's place! What wrong?"
"No! Nothing! Have fun!"
Lucy cuts the phone down. She's scare. What if that pervert appears? She lightly sight. But what the point? None of her friend will care! Now they all Lisanna this. Lisanna that. Since the first day at school, everyone said that she had a voice sound like Lisanna. They like her. But not for her! They all saw her at Lisanna replacement while she went abroad. But now, Lisanna has return. Lucy is nothing to them. Not anymore. She knows this day will come.
'Cause her parents all die, Lucy has to move from Fiore High – one of the most popular school in Fiore, to Fairy High where nobody know who she is. Without parents, she has to sell her clothes, her cars, her jewels and more for money. But not her house. She wants to keep that at a memory. Then, she moved to Fairy and rented a house near by. She has to work part-time to pay not only her rent but also her foods. Even though, the school forbid for students to have a part time job. But she never minds. She asked Erza and Mira – two out of three students in student council, to keep this little secret for her. Back then, they are really supportive. But after Lisanna's return, they not report to the principal, they ignore it. And one of her part-time jobs is waiter. Or can be easier to say: She is a maid. She has been working as a maid in Jenny's Day owned by Jenny for five months. And for the past three months, there is a pervert always near this area. On the last shift, Jenny warned her about him. He's seen near her coffee for a few days. And Lucy is always the last person left the coffee.
"Haizz... I guess calling them won't help! I have to walk home on my own!" – said Lucy.
She stands up, gets her bag and closes the coffee's door then she walks home. In the middle of her way, she heard a strange laugh. As she turn her head, it's that pervert! She started to quiver: "What... what... do... you... want...?"
He smiles, and then slowly takes out of his coat.
POP!
Suddenly, he downs. Lucy raises her eyes up. It was a boy with blond hair and a scar shapes lighting through his right eye has saved her.
"L...a...x...u...s?"
"Tcc...! Not like I'm a ghost! Stand up! I beat him up already!" – He raises his hand to Lucy.
It took her a while to put her hand on his.
Laxus is the third student in student council. But he does always seem to be different from the others. He hardly talks to anyone at school except the principal who is also his grandfather.
Lucy's POV
"Thank you..." – I said.
"What would a girl like you doing here this kind of late?" – asked he.
"Well, I was... I... I was trying to find Jenny's Day and then I got lost until now."
I know lie is bad. But if I'm not lying to him, I can be kicked out of school.
"You are an idiot! Blondie!"
"Hey! Don't call me that! After all, you're blond too!" – It's not fun at all whenever he call me that.
"But hey! What are you doing here? I thought you're supposed to be at Lisanna's party!"
"I don't care about party!" – Said him – "I heard that I could find you here so I come. And can't believe that this idiot Blondie got her self into trouble!"
"First: DO NOT call me BLONDIE! Second: Why you want to find me?" – I angrily said.
"'Cause you forgot this you idiot!" – He throws something to me. Luckily, I catch it. Wait a sec! It's my phone! No wonder I couldn't find it anywhere.
"Thanks! But where did you get it?"
"Your class! Oh! And don't thank me. If it was not because that idiot gramp makes me I wouldn't go!"
Oh...! So he's not that kind of nice...
I guess everybody was right about him. He's always alone. He never actually cares to anyone. But... why when I look at him, I feel pity for him more than mad. Somehow he has closed the door to his heart. Wonder what had happened?
Suddenly, my stomach rumbles. How embarrassing!
"Hungry hah?"
I nod my head shyly.
"Follow me!"
Then he takes me to the 24 HOURS shop. It's a small shop at the end of the road. Can't believe that he knows this place and I don't. Even though I've been working here for five months.
"Wait here! I'll get us some sandwiches and coke!" – said him then he walks away.
Laxus's POV
Stupid! This is so stupid! Dame! Why did Gramp make me go and find her just to return that phone? He can ask Erza or Mira. What ever they are her friends. If can't, why can he wait until Monday and return it? It's Saturday, she only won't have phone in just one day. And now... Why I should buy this for her?
I slowly put everything in my hand and walk to the cash. Right at the moment, I see Lucy is putting a present box into her bag. If I knew she has money with her, I would ask her to pay for her own. But now I've promise I can't take it back.
After paying for those foods, we sit at a near by table and enjoy them.
A silent air covers us. We ain't say a thing until we finished those sandwiches.
"Wow! It's cold out here!" – sai Lucy as she pushing the shop'd door.
Haizz... She's like little Lis. If there's no one to take care of her, she will be die for sure! I throw to her my purr coat.
"Put on! It'll make you warm!"
"But.. But what about you?"
"To me cold or warm isn't mean a thing! Nomatter what it is I can suffer it!"
"But...!"
"No but! Put it on!"
"Thank you!" – she said lightlly.
"Come! I'll walk you home! Can't let an idiot girl like you walk home alone like this!"
"Thank you!"
"You're too annoying! Don't thank me! I don't need your thank!"
"Umh! Got that! But whatever it is... Thanks! Laxus!"
Lucy's POV
His coat is so warm and smelt like pine. That makes me blush! Haizz... My face hasn't been as red as now. It's even redder than Erza's hair. Can't let him see me like this! It's embarrassing!
Suddenly, I see a letter folding machines. I rush to it. What ever it is, it'll make me clam.
"What happened to you? You want to stay right in the middle of the street?" – He calls me.
"Err... No! I... I... saw this cute teddy bear and I want to take a look!"
"Haizz...! You're a messive girl! It's nearly 11:00 p.m! That shop is going to close soon! Are you coming or not?"
Haizz...! Can't clam a thing! It's even getting hotter!
"Haizz...! I'm giving up on you!" – He said as he walks into the shop.
A moment later, he comes out with some coin.
"Be quick! I'm going to close my shop soon!" – The shopkeeper told him.
"Yeah! Yeah! I know!" – He turns to me – "Which one do you want?"
"Umh...! That white bear with a red heart sewed Love!" – I point.
Why do I get my self in this kind of trouble! My face is getting hotter by day. If this continues, I think I could die in embracement!
He gently put the coin into the hole. The crane moves slowly to that teddy bear. And...
"Wow! Thank you! Thank you! Can't believe you actually get it for me!" – I smile.
This is the first time, I feel comfortable when there is a Fairy High's student around me.
Laxus's POV
Huh? That smile...
It's different from all her smile I've seen before. Not a forced smile. Not an affected smile. And most of all, NOT a LITTLE LISANNA's smile.
Her smile is cute and energetic. Like there is a very long time she hasn't had chance to smile. She's cute!
"Hum... Do you want that brownie too?" – I point to a brown teddy with a heart sewed At First Sight – "They're a couple!"
She gently shacks her head: "It's okay! To me one is enough! There's no space for the second! Normal people will easily let they come and go. But me! I'm not!"
Her eyes change somehow. She looks lightly sad. Maybe there is something between her and Natsu. Tcc...! Everybody knows she likes that pink-headed. And that's stupid.
"It's only a little teddy bear! It's not gonna take space if you let it near you! There no need to let it inside. Out side is good enough!"
She froze. Few tears appear in her eye's corner. Grr...! It's my turn to freeze. That girl knows how to cry? Oh my! She reminds me Mrs. Malvis. When ever she cries, nobody can stop.
Girl's tears!
How stupid!
"Oui! Are you crying?"
"No! Just that there is some dust in my eyes!"
Dust? She's not a good liar. There is no wind. So how in the world dust can go into her eyes!
What an idiot girl!
I heard lots of people said she not only had Lisanna's voice but also Lisanna's character. Wonder what wrong with those head? She's maybe a little like Lisanna. But she's she. She's different from little Lis! If she was little Lis, she would smile and thank me then she will give me a big smile. But she didn't. I feel like she has to suffer something hurt.
"Nah! What ever! We have five coins left! Don't waste my money like that!"
I put the coin into the hole. But after four times trying, I still can't get that teddy bear.
"It's okay! Like I said! One is enough! You don't have to try!"
"Tcc... Shut up! I have one coin left! At least try for the last time!" – I yell to her.
She quivers. Then deep herself in silent. I didn't mean that. But seems like she scare of me. That's good! I've stocked in this trouble for one day is enough! She won't dare to bother me in the future.
I slowly put the coin in the hole again. The crane moves slowly. And final. I caught it in her surprise!
"Here! You keep it!"
"Thanks!" – said Lucy.
"Okay! Let's walk you home!"
The silent air continues to cover us. The street lights are flickering. And the moon is shining a dreamy light. The street suddenly becomes fanciful scenery as we walk home together
