Lucy was not having fun in history class, Natsu had sat next to her in class instead of his normal seat in the front of the class. Gray was mad at him for this, how was he supposed to annoy him when he wasn't there? Lucy normally had an empty seat next to her, but Natsu followed her to her seat and would not stop talking. Even when Mrs. Connell showed up and started teaching, Natsu started whisper talking to her.

"Lucy are you even listening to me?" Natsu whispered as he touched her elbow, she moved her arm away from him, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Natsu, we are in class. Can't this wait?" she whispered back while trying to write down some notes. She missed what Mrs. Connell just said because Natsu was talking again.

"I asked if you want to come with us to a club after school?" the pink-haired boy asked while looking like he was taking down notes since the teacher held a scolding look towards him. Gray looked behind him and started chuckling towards him. Natsu narrowed his eyes at him, but he also heard Lucy giggle to the left of him. He smiled at her, Lucy looked away to look out the window. Natsu was still smiling in his history book until the class was over.

Gray immediately walked up to him and pushed his shoulder, "What the hell man? You left me for a girl?" Natsu glared at him and punched him back but it was harder than he anticipated, and Gray punched him in the face. That started a fight between the two of them, Lucy just walked away from them to her next class where she didn't have them in it.

"Wait! Lucy!" Natsu ran after her as she approached her locker. She turned her head towards him while putting some books away and taking one out. "You didn't answer my question." He stated, Lucy tilted her head in question, "You want to hang out after school?"

"Oh," she started, she had to work after school, but she couldn't tell him that. He would ask questions. Now she had to make an excuse, "umm, I would love to, but I can't" was all she tried, maybe he would just take that and go. He didn't even know her at all.

"Why?" he crossed his arms over his chest.

After about 10 seconds the bell rang, and Lucy shut her locker very abruptly and spun on her heels, "Welp, got to go to class. Bye Natsu." She almost ran away from him and she heard him sigh.

She got to her literature class with Mr. Rocko, he was a strange man, with his black hair standing on the top of his head. He always talked loudly, and he always seemed to know what we were going to say. She saw in her seat in the middle near the window, per usual. When the class had started the door swung open when Levy came in, out of breath. "Sorry, they switched my class and I couldn't find this classroom." She hurried and got out.

"That's okay, just sit in any seat you'd like." He turned and started rifling through his papers. Levy looked around the room, but her eyes laid on Lucy. Her eyes went wide, and her smile was wider. Lucy just looked down at her notes, but Levy sat in the empty seat next to her.

"Hey Lucy." Levy said as she was pulling out her notebooks and books. Even highlighters and different colored pens.

Lucy looked over at her and saw that she already had notes prepared. How the hell did she have all that, she just started this class? "Hi." Lucy quickly said as she didn't even look at her. What happened to her being a nobody?

Mr. Rocko started talking about the last paper they turned in on Monday. He started handing the papers back, "Of course, the papers were very good. Some of you were off point but most of them were A material." Lucy got her paper and it was a perfect score. She smiled and put it in her folder, she looked over and saw Levy looking at her.

"You're every good at writing papers?" she asked, Lucy knew she was just trying to make conversation with her, why? She didn't know Lucy at all, why did these people want to be her friend?

"Yeah, I guess I just like writing." Lucy replied while setting up her notes. The whole class period Levy tried to talk to her, but Lucy was giving her short answers. Lucy actually like Levy, but she didn't really want to trust anyone at this time.

When it was lunch time, Lucy walked to the same table she was used to; outside at the corner. She packed herself something every simple. She pulled out her peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a small water when she felt a large weight on her shoulders.

"Luce, you said you would eat lunch with us!" he whined while sitting down next to her.

Lucy set her sandwich down and glared at him, "Get off me." She said while Natsu slowly took his arm off her but looked apologetically too. "I kind of forgot about it sorry Natsu." She really did forget that she agreed to him for lunch and she really was sorry.

"Oh, that's okay. I'll sit with you then." He sat but didn't have any food with him and he was staring intently at Lucy's food. Lucy was just going to ignore him but then he started tapping his fingers on the table and whistling.

Lucy sighed and put down her pb&j and looked at her, "Why don't you go back and get so food?"

Natsu gave her a big grin, showing his canines that Lucy somewhat loved but would never tell him that. "Naw, I'll wait here. I'm not really hungry right now." She could tell he was lying cause his stomach growled out just then and Lucy just shook her head and giggled at him. "I mean I might be a bit hungry." He admitted.

Natsu could see Gray outside the door to the cafeteria, when he shouted at him, "Hey Gray!" Natsu was waving his arm erratically at him and trying to sit still but that was not working.

Walking over to them Gray looked over at Lucy who had her head down, "Natsu, why are you out here? Should everyone be waiting for us?" he asked while just standing at the other end of the table.

Natsu swung his arm around Lucy's shoulders, "I'm going to eat lunch with Lucy." He said simply while giving a wide grin. Gray just raised an eyebrow at him but shrugged anyway and sat down across from them. "Hey, who said you could sit with us?" Natsu yelled.

"It's fine. He can sit here." Lucy's voice was quiet as she didn't even look up from her sandwich. Gray just looked over at her and smiled softly. "See, she over rules you!" he baited Natsu who took his arm off Lucy and bumped his head against Gray's.

"You wanna go ice princess!" he screamed while readying his fists.

Gray got equally angry at Natsu, "Yeah, fire freak! Right here, right now!"

"Are you guys fighting again?" a voice came from the doors to the cafeteria. All three of them look over and saw the magnificent Erza with her fists on her hips looking at the two fighting with anger.

The two boys immediately stopped arguing and started hugging each other, "No, what are you talking about? We are best friends." Gray squeaked out. Natsu just nodded his head erratically without saying anything.

Lucy giggled at them, Natsu turned his head to her and smiled. Lucy didn't know why but she blushed at him and turned her head away. Erza came over to them and sat next to Gray at the table, "So why are you guys doing out here?" she asked while getting her food out of her bag. She was having what looked like sushi. Natsu's mouth was watering at this point, everyone had food but him. Lucy gave half of her sandwich to him, she felt bad, it was kind of her fault. He looked up at her with wide eyes and smiled showing his sharp teeth. She blushed again but looked down.

"We wanted to sit with Lucy." Gray commented while munching on his chips.

"Oh, well Hello Lucy." Erza inserted her hand right in front of Lucy's face. "My name is Erza. It's nice to meet you." Lucy looked at her hand and slowly took her hand in hers. Erza's hand shake was firm and it hurt Lucy's hand.

"Yeah, it's nice to finally meet you too." She pulled her hand back and started rubbing it with her left hand. It kind of hurt, Natsu looked at her with sympathy and had a big bite of the sandwich.

"Finally?" she tilted her head

"Uh yeah, I've been here since freshman year. I saw you guys everyday but.." Lucy stopped, she didn't want to tell them too much.

Erza saw her nervousness and changed the subject, "Well, your song was lovely. I enjoyed it a lot." She complimented. Lucy held a small smile to her, she was starting to like these people. They stayed for the entire lunch period and talked about anything that came to mind.

Lucy was walking home with her books when a deep, red Jeep drove up beside her and stopped. Lucy backed away a little bit, the window rolled down to show Natsu in the driver's seat. "Hey, you going home?" he asked. Lucy nodded and walked closer to the car. "Want me to drive you?" he leaned his arm out the window.

"Umm, I don't know." She hesitated but he smiled at her, she blushed, "Okay, but only this one time." She walked over to the other side and got in.

"Sure.." Natsu smiled at her while being sarcastic. She punched his arm and laughed, "Ow, that hurt. Now I'm dying." He went limp in his seat, it was good that they weren't driving yet. She started laughing out loud, Lucy hasn't laughed like this in a long time.

"Just go!" she laughed and screamed.

"Okay, okay. Where do I go?" Natsu started laughing while driving off.

When they got to her apartment he parked right outside the door. "Are your parents home?" he asked as he took off his seatbelt.

"Umm, not right now." She looked away from him to the strap of her bag. It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the total truth. He didn't need to know anyway.

"Can I come in?" he asked.

She eyes went wide, "Uhh," she ran out of the car and quickly got her keys out, ran into her apartment. Natsu just looked at her all crazy but just shook his head and laughed. She looked out the window and saw him drive off with a smile on his face. Plue looked out the window with her but barked when there was nothing.

"I have to get ready for work. I won't be late this time." She told Plue.

it was towards the end of Lucy's shift as she was cleaning the tables. Lucy started singing since she was alone. 'Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you I drink too much and that's an issue but I'm okay Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them But I hope I never see them again'

It was 5 minutes till close when the door opened, Lucy sighed. This sometimes happened when she was the only one here. The cook was here too but he was cleaning too. She turned around, "Hello, how are you?" but she saw Levy and Gajeel standing in the door way.

"Uh, bunny girl? You work?" Gajeel asked while standing behind the smiling Levy.

"Lucy! I just love your voice!" she squealed while bouncing up and down. Gajeel put his hand on top of her head to make her stop. "Sorry." She didn't seem too sorry though.

"Lucy! Do we have customers?" Bob asked from his office. He popped his head out and saw Gajeel, "Oh and a handsome one too." Gajeel just grimaced.

"Taken." He crossed his arms and looked away from them.

Levy came closer to the blonde waitress, "We only came for a quick drink." She put her hands behind her back which made her look more adorable than she already was.

"I'll take care of this Bob, it's okay." Lucy yelled back, she put them at a nearby table. "Okay, do you guys know what you want, or do you need a menu?" she asked while getting out her booklet.

Levy and Gajeel sat on the same side of the table and Levy leaned her head on his shoulder while he looked indifferent but leaned closer to her, "I think we know what we want." Levy smiled and they both ordered coffee, but the small girl wanted some creamer.

When Lucy came back with their coffee, she found the couple staring intently at each other, like nothing else even mattered. She felt like she was ruining something important. Lucy turned around to come back later but Levy saw her and smiled at her, "Oh that coffee smells so good." She commented as Gajeel just grunted.

"I made it fresh for you guys, I'll be right back, I have to lock the doors really quick." Lucy set the coffee down in front of them, giving them creamers and napkins. She smiled while going over to the door and flipping the sign, finally locking the door. "I'll let you guys out when you want to leave." She walked past them to the kitchen.

After about 10 minutes Lucy came back out to the floor to see Levy and Gajeel talking admittedly. Their coffee gone, even Gajeel was smiling softly at her. They were so cute together, Lucy smiled but looked at the clock and saw it was 11:58. She was going to be so tired in the morning, she might have to do nothing tomorrow until work.

They got up from the booth, "Well it was nice to see you bunny-girl but have to get going." Gajeel and Levy walked to the doors, Lucy saw they left money on the table for the coffee. She unlocked the door for them and watched as Gajeel picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She protested by throwing fists at his back which didn't seem to faze him.

"You two can come back any time!" Lucy yelled at them as they walked off.

When she finally closed the restaurant, it was 12:43 in the morning. The cook had left about an hour before then, leaving Lucy by herself. She had put her headphones in and listening to the song she was singing earlier,

"You look as good as the day I met you I forget just why I left you, I was insane. Stay and play that Blink-182 song that we beat to death in Tucson, okay." She jumped over a can on the ground.

Lucy started to sing out loud as she walked, looking around to see no one outside with her. She closed her eyes to feel for the music.

"I know it breaks your heart moved to the city in a broke down car and four years, no call. now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar and I can't stop. No, I can't stop"

She was singing loudly now, she didn't care at this point, she was gaining more friends, slowly. She was started to be happy again. Lucy arrived at her apartment but saw the light was already on. She frowned, did she leave the light on? Was Plue alright? She ran in and saw nothing out of order, Plue was on her bed asleep. Maybe she did leave her light on. She walked into her room to see a lump on her bed. Her eyebrow lifted, "What the hell?" she whispered.

The blonde put her bag on the floor by the door and slowly walked to her bed with her hand out. She pulled the blanket off, she saw the top of pink hair and folded her arms. Why the hell was he here and how did he get in? He was fully asleep on her bed!

Lucy kicked his side, "What the hell are you doing in my bed, Natsu?" she yelled at him as he yelped and fell off the bed, taking the blanket with him.

"You weren't here for a while, so I fell asleep." He stated simply while rubbing his left eye and standing up slowly.

"Why are you in my apartment in the first place?" the blonde girl tilted her head at him, Natsu blushed and looked away from her.

"To hang out?" it felt more like a question then anything. Lucy shook her head and walked to her dresser to change out, "You work at 8-island?" he asked sitting on the bed.

She stopped and realized that she still had her uniform on, damn, she was too tired for this. "Natsu, I'm really tired. Can we hang out tomorrow and it's one in the morning" she told him holding onto some pajamas while turning to him.

Natsu scratched the back of his head, "Uh, okay." He started to climb into her bed, Lucy had already gone into the bathroom to change since Natsu was still here. When she came back he was still in her bed, but she was too tired to care. She climbed in next to him and fell right asleep. Natsu on the other hand stayed awake for a while, he was asking questions to the wind through the open window.
