Chapter 2 – The Day Before DAY 1
Okay, let me start again. My name is Lucy Heartfilia, 17 year-old. I attended the Fairy Tail High School in Magnolia Town, Fiore and now I was having the time of my life, sitting down on a chair. Reading my favorite novel while everybody else is gone to God-knows-where. As I eager to flip to the next, I was stopped when a pair of hands covered the pages of my favorite novel.
My eyes grew larger. How dare this person interrupt my precious reading time! I exhaled and was about to yell but when I lifted I saw a man with pink-haired, grinned from ear to ear, standing in-front of my table. Looking at me in the eye. I know this man, everyone know him. He is very popular.
"Teach me how to love Lucy Heartfilia," he said, somehow it gave me a heart attack. This man's name is Natsu Dragneel, has spiky pink colored hair. He wore school uniform. His white sleeves were pushed up his forearms, showing his muscles and white scaly scarf wrapped around his head.
How did I know him? He's from another class and famous for being a trouble maker. One time I heard he always started a fight with anyone whenever or wherever he can.
Long short story, rumors say or should I tell that people say he is scary, act like a boss and do not try make an eye contact with him and he could get pissed off just by it. Now I am all alone in the class. Did I do something wrong to him? I didn't remember doing that.
"Teach me how to love Lucy Heartfilia," he said again but loudly taking his hands away from my novel. I zoned out by his words and shook my head, maybe I misheard his words. Who am I kidding?
"I'm sorry, what did you just say?" I asked, not trying to be nervous around this man and yes I tried to minimize myself not looking at him in the eyes as much as possible. I don't want to piss him off.
"You heard me. Teach me how to love." He said again but without my name this time. How does he even know my name again?
"WHAT?!"
"I heard about you from everyone. You're smart and book lover. So you should teach me how to love." He said so casually. Who is this 'everyone' again?
I awkwardly laughed a bit, unsure what other response should I give. "Do you even know what book lover means?" Did I also mention that this person also famous for being stupid?
"Yeah. . . Kind of. . ." averting his eyes to elsewhere before landing on me again. He does not even know what book lover means, can I cry now?
"You see, there is this one girl named—"So this man started to talk about this girl named Lisanna. She is his childhood friend. He wants to confess his love to her. He showed me picture of Lisanna. She has white short hair, very pretty. Much more pretty than me I would say. She went to Edolas High School and will coming back here in 30 days.
She will be back on my birthday. Wow! How coincidence is that? I don't know about this girl and why he gave me too much information on her!
I look at this man again, I was speechless. He keeps on talking about her like a broken recorder as I support my chin with my hand, elbow rested on the table. This man already knows how to love someone, why would he ask my help then?
"You don't need my help." I said immediately and he looked at me, taken a bit by my words. "I mean I can see you already in love with her. Why do I need to teach you again how to love?"
He slammed his hands on my table, making me flinch. Soon my body became stiff. I shouldn't object this man. OH! I just did it. Dear lord, please help me get away from this guy.
"NO, NO, you don't understand. This girl is everything to me. I want to propose her with everything I have learnt from you." He seemed panicking.
"ME? Why ME?" I exclaimed, hardly believe someone wants me to teach about love.
I mean look at me. I wear spectacles, twin tail style and with my appearances. I look like a nerd, a pretty nerd. I read about romance novel and watching few movies on it but I know I'm not the one who supposed to teach him about love.
"Natsu-san—" I sighed and politely said as he stopped me and told me to call him by Natsu only. "Okay Natsu listen, I'm sorry but I don't know anything about love. You can ask someone else and—"
"But you're a book lover. . ." he said in a low voice, sounded drained. Looking down at his feet, feeling disappointed. "And I want her to love me. . ."
God, I shut my eyes and envisioned myself banging my head against the wall. I think I nearly make the scariest person in my school cry his eyeballs out.
"Okay, fine. I will teach you how to love." I said with less confident. I don't know why I said that to him. . . Maybe because I feel pity? Sympathize? Part of me wanted to run away from this trouble maker but the other me or the angel me is so. . . undeniably stupid!
"THANK LORD Luce! We will start tomorrow okay?" He said happily and smiling. I never knew this man has a fantastic smile. No rumors on that one apparently. Did I smile a little because of it? Yes I did. Wait did he just call me by Luce?
"Your phone." He extended his hand to me and I stupidly gave my phone to him without any complain. He glanced at me while taking out his phone and started to type something on my phone. Not long his phone started to ring before handing me my phone again.
OH DAMN! Why did I give my phone away?
He must notice my look, my disbelief look and later convinced me. "Don't worry. By the end of the 30 days, as soon she comes back. I won't bother you anymore. Okay? We have deal?"
I managed nodded a little at him as he waved and disappeared from my sight.
"What in the world just happened?" I shook again my head and tried to continue to read my novel. However, my phone buzzed and I looked at it. It was a message from Natsu The Almighty Dragon. I laughed again, the ID is so hilarious. Dragon? Really?
[Natsu] – Stop reading your book and go home already. Will contact you tomorrow :D
I look at the time on my phone. I can't believe it. I must have forgotten about the time. No wonder no one is around to disturb my peaceful reading time except him. It was already few hours since the school ended.
I shoved my phone back into my back but it buzzed again. I checked it and It was from Natsu of course. But this time I did not laugh anymore. . . I do not really know how to feel about it.
[Natsu] – Don't tell anyone that we know each other.
A famous trouble maker and a nerd like me. Of course, he did not want people to see that. That would ruin his reputation.
