Chapter 2 When it hits you

Exams were nearing and everyone was busy studying. I've holed up in the library with Levy and the others.

"NO MORE! I can't study anymore." Cana blurts out loudly.

Unexpectantly, everyone in the library shushed the curvaceous brunette. Ezra coughs pointedly to which Cana faced her with tears in her eyes, face red with agitation and frustration. Taking pity Ezra sighs and closed her books and notebooks. Seeing the sight everyone silently cheered inside and quickly followed suit in closing their books. I saw the card mage tiredly lying down her head on her books and I did the same, but while she rested I was trying to peek past Levy who was acrossed me and onto the soccer field.

All of a sudden, Juvia pushed her chair heavily away, bounces over and presses herself to the big window. Ezra frowns and Mira curiously comes closer to the blue haired girl that was acting like a lunatic out of the blue. When Juvia tried to open the window, out of nowhere the bespectacled library head committee Evergreen grabs her hands.

"Miss Lockser, you cannot open the window at this time of day and most especially at this time of ths year please control yourself before you harm the books." she cheerfully says but her eyes were looking stonily at the surprised girl.

Mira quickly steps in and laying a calming hand on the bespectacled stone mage "I'm sorry Evergreen she hasn't been in the school that long and this is even her first time in the library so please understand her."

I saw Evergreen sighing in defeat and letting Juvia go. As she left we carefully come near the windows, I purposely position myself on the window at the back of Levy.

"I'm sorry mii~na, I saw Gray-sama pass the window and I couldnt control myself." Juvia guiltily states.

"Juvia you can't be like that, women don't have to chase after men. You have got to be stronger." Erza starts to lecture on.

Mira sweetly intervenes "Ara ara.. calm down Erza she can't help it she isn't like you who has a fulfilling love life..."

The equip mage turns bright red and stutters out, "M-Mi-Mira w-whhaat are you-u saying!!"

Cana quickly moves away from the agitated whispering trio and comes closer to us. She peeked out the window and hurriedly whispers out "Hey Lucy, look! I can clearly see Loke, Natsu and the others down there."

My heart skipped a beat on hearing the second name.

"Oh yeah. Jet, Droy and even Gajeel are there too." Levy shyly adds in while her eyes follow the tall dark haired defensive midfielder.

As the girls inched closer to the window, I slowly moved along with my beating heart thundering in my ears I carefully look down and seek out the familiar figure. I look down and spot the salmon haired Natsu, I saw him actively stealing it from Gray's feet, quickly running pass Gajeel's protection and scoring. I saw the other guys cheering on the energetic striker and place a hand against the window staring harder.

I watched on as he laughed and gave out high fives to the other guys on his team. By the end of it Natsu was sweating and had lifted the end of his shirt to wipe on his face. I blush fiercely at his exposed toned abs and determinedly looks up to his flushed face instead.

Unbeknowst to me the equally blushing Levy looks away from the now top bared Gajeel and catches sight of me. I didn't see her do a double take as she looks at me and I couldn't have notice the varying expressions on her face as I was too busy drinking in the sight of the one guy I have been truly attracted to.

I continue staring on, not noticing her shocked expression as I just saw a silver haired petite beauty running to Natsu's side and wiping his face with a towel. I felt my heart freeze up and drop down.

As I look on with cold sweat running down my back I saw Lissanna sweetly smiling up Natsu. He was laughing and speaking with the female takeover mage. I felt my throat close up and the hand resting on the window falling down to my side. I closed both of my hands into tight fists ignoring the pain from my nails.

"Don't..." I unconciously say out loud in an aggrieved tone, I was so affected when all of a sudden I felt a warm hand over my now shaking fists and a voice filled with worry whispering "Lu-chan are you alright?"

Hearing the question and seeing the concerned face of Levy I step back with the blood quickly draining from my face. Aghast at my blunder, I swiftly went back to the table to gather my bag and books, with all my stuff in the bag I tried to leave but Levy quickly grabs on my hand.

Levy made a quick excuse to the now confused girls, "Sorry ladies. Lucy isn't feeling well right now so I'm going to accompany her home."

I close my eyes in defeat when I couldn't free myself from the script mage's hands.

'Why oh why did i just have to realize I love you now!'
