Me: okay okay I get it, on to the story!

natsu: author chick!
me: okay! Please review and if you read the first chapter then you know what each text means. I wont keep you here for long so without further ado… here is chapter 2, Hey that rhymes...
Lucy's POV
So we got off at the school and it was BIG. And thats coming from a girl who grew up in a mansion. The school was 4 floors and by the colors of the bricks, I could guess that the school colors were gold and black. The school was a square building, except the first layer was bigger than the other three (the cafeteria, Library and gym) I could not see what was on the top of the first floor or fourth.
"Lucy, is that OK if I call you Luce?" Natsu asked staring at her with a fixed expression as Natsu held out his hand for her to take as he stepped off the bus.
Lucy blushed "Yeah, you can call me that!" I said breathlessly at his intensely concentrated expression. Lucy let her gaze wander to the building behind him revealed through its large and now opened gates "Its so big." she expressed softly in awe.
"Thats because each year has one floor." Gray answered smoothly, both Lucy and Erza were unaware of the glare Natsu was sending to Gray.
"Really?" Lucy replied turning her gaze from the building to her hand which was still held gently within Natsu's at their side. Her cheeks darkened at how Natsu didn't seem to notice at all almost like it was an everyday thing for him to do. 'I wonder if he holds other girls hands like this...?' She thought not understanding why she felt a slight stab at her chest when she thought it.
"Yeah!" Erza paused pointing up at the building. "I am on the third floor. You, Natsu, and Gray are on the second. The lunch room, library and gym are on the first floor. Freshman have to stay on the first floor and are not aloud to go up. Sophmore are not aloud on the third floor but may go down to the first floor. Only seniors years may go everywhere. Do you understand?" she explained.
"Yeah. I think I do..." I responded her gaze darting from the new building, her new friends, and Natsu's hand which held hers tightly. 'Wow. Its just so much to take in.' I thought to myself.
"Well, school is about to start." Gray started with a clear of the throat. "We might want to get going." He stared at his feet not wanting to look at Lucy.
"Why?" I said confused. I noticed Gray did not want to look at me, but thought nothing of it. Other then that he was merely shy...
Natsu responded before Gray could get a word out "Well our teacher is really harsh if you're late. I am sad to admit it, but the Ice Princess is right." Natsu grinned as he teased Gray with one of the many childhood nicknames he had.
Gray glared "What did you call me Flame Brain!" he immediately retorted.
An ominous aura appeared behind both of them "I hope you two aren't fighting." Erza called as she grabbed the two at the shoulder glaring at the two boys who were now hugging each other with fake enthusiasm.
"We are best buddies as always!" Gray says scared.
"Aye!" Natsu called out nervously. I giggled at that. I couldn't help, but stare at the hand Natsu had been holding slightly disappointed that his warmth was gone.
Erza released them "Well I leave you in these knuckle-heads hands. Let me know if they bother you." Erza said looking at Natsu and Gray rather menacing looking that spoke volumes.
I sweat-dropped being quite afraid of being left in Gray's care. She would never tell anyone but she was quite okay with being with Natsu alone, but she was unsure about Gray. "O-Okay!" I stammered. Erza finding this as an acceptable response ran towards the building.
"Lets go, Luce." Natsu called out slinging an arm over me. I let out a squeak in surprise and then I felt my face get extremely hot. 'Please don't let my face be red.' I I had to admit to myself I was liking the added warmth. Lucy was about to lean against him when...
"Natsu!" Erza called out noticing my embarrassment. Erza was almost up the few steps that led to the building. Natsu quickly put his arm down and gave Gray a glare for the triumphant smirk he gave him when Erza scolded him.
"Alright then, lets go before school starts!" Gray said breaking the awkward silence while walking up to the school. Students gossiped as they walked closer to the front doors of the school...
"That sounds like a great idea!" I said with an awkward laugh as I fell into step with him. Natsu quickly joined in. Walking beside her his arm itching to fall around her and his hand desperately wanting to take her hand again...
"Hey Luce?" Natsu started as we started to climb the stairs to the building.
"Was' up?" I responded, glad that I'm done with the proper talking and grammar crap. Now we entered the building the entrance was like a foyer with a staircase in the middle that led to the upward floors. The stairs each had landings at each floor. The staircase was black marble with speckles of gold. There was a double door on either side of the staircase. One door said cafeteria/Gymnasium, and the other door said 1st years.
"Wanna see if you can sit by me in Science… since you don't know anyone else here of course." Natsu offered as we started to walk up the stairs.
"I would be delighted to accept." I responded. 'Crap, I reverted back into formal talk. Stupid. Annoying. Egotistic. Dad.' I then thought mentally cursing my upbringing...
"Okay?" Natsu responded even though it sounded more like a question. We reached the second floor and now turned left and continued to walk.
"What was that all about Lucy?" Gray asked with his eyebrows knitting together in confusion.
"Well…" I quickly thought up a lie to cover my tracks. 'Not yet. They don't need to know yet.' she thought as her mind continued to spin a believable lie. "Well… you see, at my old school… we would be required to talk like that alot. I am trying to break out of that habit." They seemed to have bought that excuse.
"Oh..." That was all Gray could say. "What do you have after Science?" Gray asked trying to change the subject when he noticed the awkward silence.
"Umm…" I thought about it for a moment before I remembered. "I have Art and then P.E." I answered.
"Well If you want to sit by anyone other than Flame Brain over here, you can come and sit by me. I'll also introduce you to some other people." Gray offered receiving yet another unfriendly glare from Natsu.
"Hey who are you calling Flame Brain, Ice Princess?!" Natsu retorted yelling bashing his forehead against Gray's as they argued.
Like they'd been doing the night before when Natsu saved her... We were now in front of a door and both Natsu and Gray stopped in front of it.
"Umm…" I began hesitantly looking between the two. "Is this the classroom?" I asked in wonder.
"You'll sit by me, right?" Natsu asked turning around facing me. I sweat-dropped...
"Tell him that you'll sit by me." Gray insisted. More sweat-drops...
Neither of them were looking at each other. Their arms crossed over their chests stubbornly "How about I sit by both of you?" I suggested with a sigh. I considered it a yes because they did not respond, but instead had a shocked silence because they did not think of that. I giggled, "Lets go you two." I said and pushed them through the door. But before I could enter…
Natsu's POV
'Lucy's laugh is so beautiful!~' I thought again as she pushed me into the classroom. I couldn't help reach for her hand again.
"Okay, Lucy. Lets go…" Gray said dreamily.
"Ice princess, shut up before I punch you." I said angrily. 'He is not going to take MY Luce away from me.' He thought possessively before thinking 'WAIT- WHAT! Did I just think MY Luce?' My gosh, what is going on?!' he blushed a little.
Then Gray punched me murmuring "Shut up!" interrupting my thoughts.
I went and sat at the middle table on my left but on the right from the teacher in the front point of view. Gray sat by the window on my left table leaving a spot for Lucy. 'Great now she'll be Gray's partner!' I yelled in my head, 'I should have sat by the window. It is my normal seat after all.' I looked up trying to find Lucy so I could plead with her to sit by me, but she wasn't there. 'Oh great here comes Lisanna.' I thought as she sat down next to me. 'NOOOOO!' I yelled silently in my head at her. 'Lucy should have sat there not you. Oh well, I just want to spend more time with Luce so what should I do?' I wondered with a frown.
"Oi, Flame head." Gray smirked.
"What?" I murmured not paying attention.
"What'cha doin?" Gray asked.
"Thinking.." I responded again not paying was a sharp intake of breath as the classroom got quiet. "What?" I said finally paying attention. Suddenly there was laughter.
"WaHaHaHaHa! NICE ONE!" Gray yelled with tears in his eyes.
"WHAT?!" I responded taking up on the situation. "Can't I think?" he asked. What the hell was wrong with these people?!
"Yeah right… You, Natsu. Thinking. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Gray told him laughing.
"Thats not funny!" I growled. I wanted to be near Lucy really bad... Especially now 'At least she wouldn't make fun of me...' he thought pouting.
"Uh hem." Coughed our teacher, Mr. Gildarts.
'Uh oh.' I thought wondering if I had done something wrong since his eyes zeroed in on me.
"Now if you would be kind to take seats, we have a new student today." He stated with a glare saying 'If you disobey I'll murder you without a second thought.' "Her name is Lucy Heart. I expect you to treat her with kind generosity." Lucy came into the classroom.
'she looks like an angel' I gushed wanting nothing more than to jump up and hug her.
"Hello!" She murmured with a small embarrassed wave. She was scared, I saw it on her face. Oh, how I want to go up there and hold her hand and tell her it'll be alright. 'I really need to get these thoughts under control.' I thought noticing that she also was looking at her feet and blushing. I wonder- oh- the cat calls.
"Hey Lucy, wanna be my date tonight, and my girl for every moment after?" Said the one and only class playboy Loke. Ugh how I hate that dude. I just wanna punch his face every single day. Maybe less…
Lucy blushed harder and struggled to respond, but managed to get out "N-No th-thank y-you. I-I still n-need t-to unp-pack." she mumbled out embarrassed.
"Do you need help?" Loke asked with suggestive bouncing eyebrows.
Gosh I wanna punch his face in right now.
"I don't k-know who y-you are." Lucy responded she looked like she was about to cry from all the pressure.
"Baby, I am Loke, and I'm yours." He said one of his most famous pick-up lines.
Okay I can't handle it anymore. "Mind your own damn business!" I shouted as I got out of my seat.
"Natsu!" Loke said shaking his head in disgust, that agitated me even more. "This IS my business. This is NOT, on the other hand, yours."
"This is my business!" I shouted louder. "Luce is MY friend and you're gonna make her cry!". 'Why am I doing this. I've never stuck up for a new kid before, not even for my cousin last year.' he thought with a frown.
"I'm not frightening you, now am I? It is this obnoxious little boy, isn't it?" Loke said turning to Lucy. Lucy finally broke down in sobs.
"See!" I yelled at Loke. Inside I wanted to run up to the front of the classroom and pull Lucy to my chest.
"Ok, I have let this go on too long already." Mr. Gildarts called. "Calm down class. This is not a Debate class. This is Science class. Now Lucy sit by Gray, He'll be your partner for today." Lucy went and sat by Gray and on my left side. I sat down and so did Loke. "Today, class we will be using the microscopes to look at the chemical structure of rocks and minerals. Your job today is to identify what chemical structure belongs to what rock or mineral." Mr. Gildarts shouted so everyone could hear him.
'No!' I yelled in my mind, 'Why him? Why not me?' Gray gave me a smirk for who knows what this time. But as he smirked, Lucy sat down and wiped the tears off of her face as she stopped sobbing. 'Aww. I hope she does not cry again. I won't let her get hurt. And why, am I having these kind of thoughts!? I'll ask Jellal's older brother Mystogan, He should know.' Natsu thought suddenly disturbed from his thoughts.
I felt a piece of paper slip under my hand. I looked to find that Lucy was passing me a note. It read:
Thanks for standing
up for me
-Luce
As I read this I felt my face flare up. 'Why does my face feel hot?' I asked myself.
Gray's POV
'Damn it, why didn't I stand up for her?!' I thought, 'And she is so damn cute when she cries. I know I like her, I know Natsu does too. But Natsu is way too fucking dense to know what his feelings mean. So while he is trying to sort out his thoughts I should snatch Lucy from right under his nose, but I'll have to watch out for Juvia. She might ruin my chances...' he thought.
"Gray go get the microscope. I already got the samples." Lucy said breaking me out of my day dreams.
I stood up quickly causing the chair to scrape against the floor noisily "Okay Lucy." I replied. I walked to the back of the classroom which is where all the microscopes were kept. When I came back I saw that Lucy and Lisanna were listening to Flame-brain, and hanging off of his every word.
"So, I was, like, dude you can't talk to me like that. And then he pushed me and then, whoa! I fell in the river!" Natsu said. Lucy and Lisanna laughed.
"Hey Lucy, wanna try to finish before everybody else?" I asked trying to interrupt their conversation.
"Yeah, sure." Lucy answered and turned around. I looked at Natsu and he looked angry and sad. 'Probably because I took HIS LUCE away. HA! She's MY LUCY!' I thought possessively.
"Gray?" Lucy said pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah?" I asked dreamily...
"Do you want to do the last sample?" She asked boredly. She'd wished Natsu had been her partner...
"WHAT! You're already done with 19!?" I exclaimed unbelieving.
"Yup! I did this exercise before." She replied cheerfully. "It was easy. Now I ask again, do you want to do the last sample?" this time slightly irritated for having to repeat herself.
"Yeah..." I responded, but inside I was quite upset. I was hoping this would take all hour, but we could always chat and laugh for the rest of the hour…I looked through the microscope to find that the last one was easy. "Its diamond." I told her and she wrote it down.
"Lets go turn this in." Lucy said gesturing to the paper. They both got up and walked up to Gildarts. "We're done." She announced.
"New and smart," Mr. Gildarts complimented as he took the paper. He winked as he said this. "She 's definitely a keeper." I felt my face go hot.
'Damn not now!' I thought rubbing at my face to try and calm my faces flusteredness.
"Are you ok?" Lucy asked as she caught me. I didn't know I was falling until she caught me. "I think someone should take him to the nurse." My vision went black.
"Juvia will take her Gray-sama to the nurse. Love rival will stay here." I heard Juvia. 'No! I want Lucy.' I mentally whined.
"Ok." Lucy said as she transferred me into someone elses arms... Juvia's.
Lucy's POV
After the girl who I am guessing name is Juvia took Gray I went back to my seat.
"Hey Luce." Natsu began curiously watching as Juvia walked off with Gray. "Where did Ice Princess go with Juvia?" He asked.
'Huh, I was right. Her name WAS Juvia' Lucy thought smiling at her accomplishment at having gotten the right name. "Um... The nurse… I think." she answered.
"Do you know why?" He shot another question right back at me.
"Not really." I murmured.
"I'll bet he'll be fine." He reassured me. I didn't know I was a little bit shaken up until he comforted me. That was also weird. being comforted by him. I don't even know him that well.
"Thanks." I said watching as Natsu got up sitting in the seat Gray had been sitting in besides me. I felt a glare bore into my back...
"Hello!" A girl behind them said; this girl hadn't been there a moment ago. I looked up to see a petite girl looking at me with her hand out. "I'm Levy." She said. She had blue hair and has wearing an orange sleeveless dress with a white ribbon goldiing it up around her neck. She had cut off sleeves though in the same color as her dress. She wore black leggings seeing that the dress came down to mid-thigh. Her shoes were sandals. She was sitting beside the short haired girl who was currently sending Lucy evil looks.
"I'm Lucy..." I said grasping her hand and shaking it. Her back felt like it was burning from the the white haired blue eyed girls gaze.
"I know!" she giggled into her free hand. I noticed she had a book in her other hand.
"What book are you reading?" I asked being a big reader myself.
"Oh..." she giggled again, "The Last Hero by-"
"Rick Riordan." We both said at the exact time.
'OMG' I thought ecstatic. "I love that series!" I squealed.
"Oh My Gosh!" Levy said voicing my thoughts as she pushed her red glasses up to rest on top of her head. "You've read this series!? This is like my 7-8th time reading it! nobody else in this class really reads for fun other than me. Do you like to read?" she fan-girled.
"Ok, yes I did read the series." I said trying to keep up with the girl jumping up and down in front of me. "I don't like to read..." I paused watching as Levy's face fell before replying with "because I love to read." She squealed in excitement practically jumping up and down in her seat.
"Oh My Gosh! It's so exciting knowing you can talk to someone about books that you love!" Levy beamed happily. She'd never had someone who understood her love of books before!
"Can you wait for The Blood Of Olympus to come out?" I asked giddy as I spoke about the long awaited release of another titled favorite.
"No way can't I wait. I'll just die if it doesn't come out soon!" She gasped out dramatically. Levy held out her hand "Lets be best friends. Can I call you Lu-Chan?" She then asked.
"Sure you can call me Lu-chan." I answered grabbing hold of her hand shaking the respected book lovers hand. "We can be best friends. You'll be my first, and-
"Wait you've never had a best friend before?" she asked gasping in shock.
"Nope!" I answered not knowing that now the class had only 15 minutes left.
"Well than that means that you've never done what best friends do than… You'll sit by me at lunch won't you?" She asked a bit evilly that made me a bit scared. It made me want to say no.
"Yeah." I gulped kind of scared by the way she said it.
"Great." She responded gleefully. "You're gonna have so much fun this year." Levy told her beaming. She couldn't help, but notice Natsu's fingers slowly inching closer to Lu-Chan's hand...
"Why?" I asked a little frightened.
Levy smiled "Because you have me." She answered quickly pointing at herself. "So" She grinned mischievously, "You like anyone yet?" She asked making me sweat-drop. My gaze shifted to Natsu for a second before falling back on Levy.
"You're as bad as Lucinda." I mumbled embarrassed.
(A/N Lucinda: Hey! Me: sorry about that break in from Lucinda.)
"Who is Lucinda?" Levy asks as the bell rang.
Lucy remained quiet not knowing how to answer...
"Oh well see you in lunch." She said as she hurried to her desk to grab her stuff and ran out the classroom. "Take good care of Lu-Chan, Natsu!~" Levy winked as she ran away giggling.
"N-Natsu." I said turning around to him. He was still staring at Levy's retreating form with a confused look on his face. Probably because of Levy's last sentence...
"Yea?" He responded with a frown; he sounded a bit upset.
'I wonder why?' I thought to myself with a frown; I like him better when he was smiling. "Are you going to lead me to the Art room?" I whispered to him.
He immediately perked up and responded, "Yeah of course I will, See ya later Lisanna." he responded not taking his eyes off Lucy for even a minute.
"See you later Natsu." a girl who I assumed must be Lisanna spoke in a voice that was too flirty for my taste, as she swept out of the classroom. She had short white hair. She wore a red dress that went down to her mid-thighs, and wore black knee high boots. She had a pink bow at her collar, and cut off pink sleeves the same color as the bow. 'What's up with all the weird hair colors?' I thought to myself grabbing at a strand of my blonde hair eyeing it.
"Well, I'm following you." I replied trying to get my guide to move as I flicked my hair back over my shoulder to stop myself from thinking about dying it to a different color!
"Oh right." Natsu shook his head clearing his thoughts as we left the classroom and went our way in the hallway with Natsu in the lead. Natsu had his hand over his face... She could see a red tint to his cheeks leaking through his skin that was exposed between his fingers.
This would be a great place to stop but… I am not done with this chapter yet, but this would be a great place to pause if you need to do something… AND back to the story
Lucy, Natsu, Levy, Happy, Erza, Gray, Lisanna, & Lucinda: YAY
"So…" Natsu dragged on. Finally dropping his hand from his face as they walked out into the halls. He wanted to ask her out to the movies... As friends of course!
"So…. what?" I wondered curiously what he wanted to say that had him so flustered.
"Nevermind." Natsu mumbled while blushing a darker shade of red. He frowned disappointed in himself...
"Ok… Um, Natsu?" I started again a little worried about the topic i was about to bring up.
"Yeah, Luce?" He questioned waiting for her to tell him what was wrong. Natsu heard her shoes lightly slapping against the schools tiled floors.
"How can I avoid Loke?" I asked truly frightened of said person in question. Just thinking about accidently running into him freaked her out.
"Well, Loke is a playboy, and tends to pop up at random moments." He replied frightening me even more, but he picked up on it and reassured me. "Its ok, I'll protect you. This is the Art room." He said gesturing towards a door.
'Huh,' I thought with a pouted frown 'Not that far away from my first hour class. Thats good but...' She'd wanted to spend a little more time with Natsu alone... Lucy sighed then thanked him, "Thanks Natsu." Lucy smiled sweetly.
"Do you want to sit by me?" He asked opening the door for me like a gentleman.
"Sure!" I responded with a smile. "Do you wanna play 1 question a minute?" She asked eagerly wanting to get to know Natsu.
(A/N I made up the game.)
"What's that." Natsu questioned curiously, guiding us to a couple of open seats. We both sat down at the exact same time.
"Well its a game to get to know a person." I responded with a blissful expression. "I ask one question then you ask one question." she explained with ease. 'If I find him worthy...' I thought, 'I tell him.' she thought nervously.
"Sure." Natsu answered eagerly himself.
"Okay my first question will be: How old are you?" I asked with confidence.
"16! My turn." Natsu answered. "How old are you?" The classroom was slowly filling up. I saw Levy wave at me and I waved back absentmindedly.
"16 as well." I responded back with an ecstatic expression. "When is your birthday?" Lucy asked poking him lightly in the shoulder slyly.
(A/N I made up the birthday's too.)
"My birthday is next week. August 16th." Natsu responded to me eagerly. He looked really interested in everything I was asking and replying. It was a nice change considering for the most part the most real conversation she had was with people much older than she was and the only one even close to her age that seemed even the slightest bit interested in knowing anything about her was Lucinda...
(A/N Today is August 9th in the story )
"When is yours?" Natsu asked me grinning as he scooted a little closer.
"The 13th of this month." I said then asked, "Do you like your family?"
"Yeah, I just love them. I have a cousin that just transferred to this school last year and my little sister also goes here. She is actually in this grade. She is a year younger, but she skipped a grade. My dad is really fun and is the owner of Dragneel companies. Do you want to celebrate our birthdays together?" Natsu asked hopeful.
'No way!' I thought speechless. 'Someone I can relate to. I hope I don't get found out.' I answered, "Yeah, I guess I never had a birthday party before though. My dad always forgot about it after my mom died 7 years ago." she frowned sadly.
"Why don't we celebrate at the beach just the two of us?" Natsu suggested already imagining Lucy in a bathing suit. He was so lucky!
"There's a beach?" I stared confused before continuing "I never seen a beach before." The Question A Minute game forgotten.
"Yeah there is a beach." Natsu responded to her with a frown. "Why haven't you ever seen a beach before? There are loads of beaches." he asked scooting himself closer to her.
"My dad wouldn't let me." I stated wanting the subject to change. She hated how she'd never been able to be normal and have experiences normal kids got to have everyday.
"Excuse me class." A light and tender lady's voice called out.
'She must be the teacher Miss. Aries' I thought as the class settled down and got to our seats.
"T-Today class, we will be painting a vase." A woman wearing a white dress that ended at mid-thigh with pink curly hair and white knee-high boots. I am willing to bet that this is Miss. Aries. "N-Natsu will you please pass out the supplies?" She asked before turning to me and asking, "You must be the new student Lucy Heart?" she mumbled an apology for only noticing her now.
"Yeah..." I said as Natsu started to pass out the canvases, paint brushes, paint, and water. Miss. Aries set up a vase at the middle of the classroom. Not that I am actually looking, the classes desks were lined in a circular shape facing toward the center and there are two rows of desks. There is a supply cabinet besides the only giant desk in the room. 'That must be the teacher's desk' I thought.
"Here you go Luce." Natsu said as he gave me supplies to paint. I focused in on the task to do. 'Paint a vase huh, easy.'
"Lucy do you know where Gray is?" Miss. Aries asked me. She looked at me expectantly when I looked at her she suddenly apologized again...
"I think he is at the Nurse's Office." I answered her question.
"Okay, I'm back!~" Natsu said plopping down beside me scooting his desk a little closer to mine.
"Okay." I then zoned out as a concentrated on my painting.
STROKE, SHADE, STROKE, RINSE, COLOR, SHADE, STROKE, LINE…
~RING~
The bell rung, and startled me out of my work. "I guess that means I am done..." I murmured as I started to pick up my supplies and turn in my work. My painting was almost all done; all I had left to do was the table. It looked very realistic even though I thought it wasn't that good.
"You're really good." Natsu complimented my work. He was so sweet!
'Oh right I'm at a public school, not home.' I thought then said, "I don't think so. Its not even finished." I turned my painting in to Miss. Aries. "I know where the Gym is you don't have to wait for me you know." Lucy told him.
"I want to." Natsu told her with a light tint of red to his cheeks. He wanted to be near her as much as he could. He felt like always wanted her to be around "I have P.E. next too." he informed her wondering if he'd catch her checking him out in class.
"Okay!" I sound happy returning to my desk for my backpack. It was comfortable being around Natsu... She found herself feeling saddened when he was away from her even for a few minutes, but extremely happy when he was around her. "Hey where is my backpack?" I asked out loud.
"I'm carrying it!" Natsu sang with a charming grin.
'Awww that's so sweet.' I thought holding my hand out "Give it back." I said.
He instantly grabbed my hand beaming as he gave it a gentle squeeze "Only if you walk home with me." Natsu bargained shocking me.
"Fine." I told him grabbing my backpack and walking out the door. "Lets just go to P.E." Lucy told him with red cheeks.
Natsu's POV
As we went down to P.E. I was celebrating inside my head silently. 'My Luce and me will be walking home together. WAIT did I just think what I thought I did? I think I did. I thought MY Luce again. I really need to talk to Mystogan soon.' he thought.
"Okay see you later." Luce said with a happy smile waving at him.
I felt a sharp pain in my chest when I realized that she will have to leave me for some time. "Kay..." I responded not letting it show. 'Now that I think of it I haven't seen Ice Princess in a while. Maybe he is coming down with something.' he began to wonder...
We walked into the gym getting the usual greeting from Miss. Aquarius who is, despite all the warnings from Gramps, is still wearing a blue and white frilly bikini. Her long blue hair compliments her blue eyes. "Hurry up," She said with a scowl. "Boys with Mr. Scorpio" She had a gentler tone when she said Mr. Scorpio's name.
I walked into the boy's locker room and quickly got dressed and left my school bag in there. I then walked up to Mr. Scorpio. He was the coach of all the school's teams last year.
"Mr. Scorpio? When are the track, soccer, and basketball team tryouts?" I asked I was on all those teams last year and was the star too.
"Tomorrow are the basketball and cheerleading tryouts, on Wednesday are the track and hockey tryouts, and on Thursday are the Soccer and Volleyball tryouts," He answered me, his star player.
Ice Princess returned half-way through gym. In gym we just played basketball it was so simple that by the end I was barely sweating. As we went I noticed that all the girl's were sweaty except it seemed that Luce was less sweaty than the rest. 'Huh maybe she'll want to cheer me on for the tryouts?' I thought.
I quickly went to the locker room and got dressed in my regular clothes. Then I raced out and sat on the black bleachers across from the girl's locker room, waiting for Luce. when she got out she had her hair back in a ponytail and was talking to Levy.
"Hey Luce!" I called out making her yelp in surprise. I chuckled at that.
"See ya later, Lu-chan!" Levy called out going her way to the meeting place.
'That's it I'll take Luce to the meeting place!' I thought.
"What are you doing Natsu?" Luce asked my straightening out her backpack strap which fell when I made her jump.
"I was waiting for you," I responded truthfully.
"Why?" She asked her eyebrows knitting together.
"Because your my friend!" I exclaimed slinging my arm around her shoulder.
"EEP!" She yelped she could feel the heat from his strong arm envelop her body "Natsu, don't do that!" she pushed me off of her.
"Okay?" I replied with a frown "Did you like P.E?" he asked.
She shuddered from the memory. "I hated it! I think Miss. Aquarius hates me!" She broke down in sobs. I hugged her without thinking.
"It's okay." I comforted her. "I have a surprise for you." he smiled hopeful.
"Huh?" Luce responded. Unraveling herself from me.
"So I know that we both have free hour now!" I started I saw her mouth open up to question why. "I stole your schedule during Art and memorized it." I explained."Now I want to show you my favorite spot in the whole school." We started walking.
"Where?" She asked. Then her eyes sparkled. "The Library?" she beamed excitedly.
"Yuck!" I faked gagged. "No way!" She gave me a frowny face. "Later..." I compromised, and she smiled at that. We started walking up the stairs in a comfortable silence. Then we came up to the sophomore floor. Luce stopped knowing that this is as high as we are aloud to go. I pulled her toward the stairs again.
"But, we aren't aloud to." She said worriedly.
"Do you trust me?" I asked her knowing her answer.
"Yes..." She said giving in and saying the answer I knew she would.
"Then come on!" I replied as we started to hurry up the stairs. 'Good thing this school doesn't have camera's.' I thought thankfully.
