BlackLynx17: ... sorry folks, still not much to say. Know this is based off the song, so you're going to feel like you already know the ending, but I've added my own twists and turns. Every chapter is not going to be a song, I go into more depth and feelings so I will be going off the lyrics, but I won't forget about them and return back.
SKATER BOY
CHAPTER 2
"Natsu? Natsu? Earth to Natsu? Come in Natsu? Over."
Someone started knocking on the side of his head and that's when Natsu tuned back in, leaning up off the wall as he stared at one of his three friends that he had met at the skate park.
"What do you want Gray?" Natsu's voice was irritated, smacking away the hand that was hitting his noggin.
He was his friend and family, he loved the man and would die for him, but at the same time he hated this person and would have no problem killing him whatsoever. Gray felt the same way about Natsu, their friendship going all the way back to elementary school. He rocked a similar outfit to Natsu's, the faded out dark blue jeans, but his more tighter against the waist, the baggy shirt, dark blue instead of red, the words 'ICE KING' gratified in baby blue spray paint on the front. He was a handsome skater boy, girls were more than happy to tell him that, but he didn't take advantage of that fact and simply rolled with the flow just like everybody else.
"Dude, what's in your ass? We're at a skate park; why the hell aren't you skating?" Gray asked, kicking up his board to reveal the decal of an icy blue iceberg on the bottom of his board, marking a signature fairy symbol right at the tip.
"What does it matter? I can just stand around in a skate park; they are no rules that say I can't." Natsu growled, a little irritated.
"Well of course there are no rules, and if there was we wouldn't give a fuck, but that's not what I'm asking. Why aren't you skating right now? Why?"
Natsu took a breath and sighed out, kicking himself off the wall and tossing his board on the ground. He jumped on it and started cruising around.
"Happy?"
"If you don't want to tell me just say it; don't let me waste my time worrying over nothing." Gray said jumping on his board as well.
The two started cruising side by side, not really doing tricks or anything like that, just riding around the park.
"It's nothing, really it isn't. My mind is just stuck on this girl I ran into on my way here."
"I thought you said you ran into a trash can?"
"After that; I looked up and saw this... this girl, but she wasn't just that, there was something just... out there about her, you know? I can't get my mind off her."
"What she looked like?"
"Blonde hair, these wide brown eyes," Natsu described tugging his hair and opening his eyes up wide, "huge knockers, not that I was staring of course."
Gray snorted, "of course."
"She had on this bright white dress and was just... she was perfect Gray. Perfect."
"Bright white dress? Hello? Earth to Natsu? White means stuck-up, not punker. Stuck-up means that ain't no punker ever going to end up with the prissy groups, so you can forget about it." Gray said speeding ahead.
Natsu glared as he followed after, "white doesn't necessarily mean stuck-up! She was sweet looking too Gray! I stand a chance!"
Gray rolled his eyes and moved his direction, leaning over right so he'd start heading back towards the park. He followed the sound of heavy punk music coming from the ramps and met up with their second friend who had joined them on this visit, a real pierced up fellow true to every definition punk had. His hair was greased up and spiky, his jeans so torn to shreds that it wasn't even covering up his legs anymore, the signature baggy grey shirt on with the words "METALLIC" gratified in black spray paint on the front of his shirt. Hanging from his torn up jeans was a mini speaker, some of the loudest guitar solos ever heard booming out of the thing.
"Oye! Gajeel! Turn that shit down and listen to this!" Gray called out to him, stopping his board right where he was resting and sitting down on some steps.
Gajeel turned his head, pulling his music player from his pocket and turning it off as he listened up to his friend. Natsu came cruising right behind, his face mad as he started exclaiming.
"Don't ask Gajeel! He isn't going to know shit!"
"I know more shit than you dumb ass."
"What did you just say dumb ass?!"
"Exactly my point, stealing my insults dumb ass."
Natsu picked up his board ready to break it across the back of Gajeel's head, Gray stepped in front of him though with a sick grin on his face.
"So tell me the truth, people who wear white?"
"Obviously stuck-up bitches who think they're better than everybody else and rather not have us punks stain their clothes... obviously." Gajeel shrugged.
Gray turned back to Natsu with an 'I-told-you-so' look in his eyes and shrugged, "I told you so."
"That's just Gajeel though!"
"Natsu, that's everybody. Pinkie over here fell hard for a little miss princess on his way over here and now can't get her out of his mind."
"Shut up!"
Gajeel snorted before looking at the idiot, "good luck with that. I'll be sure to visit you in jail when she has your ass arrested."
"You guys are just full of shit! She was hot, alright! That's it! I don't care about anything else, hell I might not even see her again, so can we just drop the subject before I fucking kill one of y'all?!" Natsu yelled out.
"You're such a punk Natsu."
"Major punk."
"Whatever, screw you guys. I'm about to go skate with Erza since you two are obviously bitches." Natsu said skating away, going to find the third friend he was supposed to meet here. Gajeel turned his music back on and way up loud, going back to relaxing on the steps, while Gray watched his friend skate away to the other side of the park where he saw scarlet hair whipping around in the air.
"Twenty bucks he meets her again and chokes."
"Forty they meet again and she calls the cops."
"You're on."
"It's a deal."
The two skater boys shook hands and smirked to each other.
"Ugh, remind me to never eat before another ballet lesson again." Lucy groaned, putting her hand over her mouth as she plié.
"It's only because you kept getting seconds Lucy, honestly I don't know where you pack that all down." Lisanna giggled, doing a plié right in front of her.
"I couldn't resist either Lucy, so I'm sharing your pain. Delicious snack trips should definitely be saved for after lessons." Yukino whispered from behind her.
"You three, start paying attention! Yukino you're dipping too low, Lisanna your foot is too far out, Lucy... stop talking."
The three girls snorted as they switched directions, Lucy staring at the back of Yukino now while Lisanna stared at her back.
"Ah, how nice it must be to be a Heartfilia. So graceful, so beautiful, you can never do a single thing wrong in society's eyes." Lisanna sighed out gracefully.
"Yeah right Lis, stop exaggerating. She obviously had nothing bad to say about me because I am doing nothing bad." Lucy said with her nose up high.
Lisanna giggled and gave her a soft push, Lucy laughing as she turned her head back and shot a playful glare.
"If you guys aren't careful Minerva is going to come right back over here and chew us out." Yukino whispered softly.
"Alright girls! Gather up, I want to practice grande jeté. Let's go, let's go, move it." Minerva, the dance instructor, clapped her hands waiting for her students to gather up.
Yukino, Lucy, and Lisanna all returned to first position before they started following into the back of the crowd, whispering to each other as they all waited their turns.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you guys earlier, but I saw the strangest person today." Lucy whispered with much excitement in her voice.
"Really? Did you look at yourself in the mirror?" Lisanna giggled.
Lucy glared and pushed her.
"Ow, you know I was kidding, who did you see Lucy?" Lisanna teased.
"It wasn't anyone I knew, but while I was walking to meet up with you guys I saw this man riding a skateboard and he had pink hair! Isn't that exciting?" Lucy asked.
"Pink hair? He must have dyed it or something."
"Sounds to me like a punk skater boy; what were you doing walking Lucy? Were you having car troubles?"
"Oh no, I gave my driver the day off. Today was so beautiful I wanted to take a walk."
"That's crazy talk you know, why would you ever do such a thing? Although that yogurt place was delicious, it was in such a poor neighborhood. You could have gotten attacked or worse." Lisanna shivered.
She noticed she was up next and started dancing across the room, taking a big jump from one foot to the other, her working leg brushing into the air appearing to have been thrown. It was beautiful and graceful, Minerva nodding her head as she watched.
"Don't listen to Lisanna... I mean do because it is dangerous to be walking around such a neighborhood like that, but not so much of her disprovable. There is nothing wrong with walking places." Yukino placed her hand on Lucy's shoulder before it was her turn next.
Lucy was after, pouting to herself lightly. She was used to Lisanna's disproving voice, but that's not what she wanted to tell them. She wanted to explain her meeting with the boy, describe more about him and what she saw, but most of all, explain how she thought he looked pretty cute. That would be a waste of time though and even more disapproval from Lisanna. Once she heard punk she always turned her head the other way, never believing that they were good people too. A small frown appeared on her face as Lucy sighed out, knowing she'd never be able to finish explaining her story now.
She took a deep breath, started running across the room, and did the most elegant grande jeté in the class yet. Everyone was starstruck by her move, even the instructor who clapped her hands and complimented her on it.
"What were you saying before again, Lucy?" Yukino asked when they were back together.
Lucy smiled lightly and shook her head, "nothing, it was nothing."
Even though the subject was dropped, Lisanna felt the need to snort, "a punk with a girl who does ballet, what more can I say?"
He was a punk, she did ballet. What more can I say?
