"Hey Jii-chan! How are you doing today?" I asked as I sat down in the office chair at the principles office, who also happened to be my Grandpa.
"Natsu, don't give me that. Your mother tells me you were expelled from your previous high school. What do you have to say about this?" He asked as he narrowed his eyes at me.
"It wasn't my fault, I swear!" I defended immediately. "My girlfriend dragged me out of the school grounds and then blamed me when we got caught. I dumped her after that yet I still got expelled." I said in a huff as I crossed my arms.
"No matter you brat! You will play by my rules when at this school!" He yelled at me. I slumped down in the chair with a pout. The was a small and light rap on the door, catching both of our attentions.
"Excuse me master. May I please come in." A soft voice called through the door as it creaked open only in the slightest.
"Yes Lucy please come in." Jii-chan said to the girl. She slowly opened the door fully and walked in, closing it behind her. "Lucy this is the new student you will be showing around. I will let you introduce yourself when ready." he said with a tender and gentle smile. 'Wow his personality sure changed once she came in.' I silently thought.
"How do you do. My name is Lucy Heartfilia." She said with a gentle smile that I now realised was angled towards me. "I will be your tour guide. You can call on me anytime if there is anything you would like to know about Fairy Academy." She said still smiling.
"Okay! Cool! My name is Natsu Dragneel." I responded standing up and offering her a hand. She shook my hand gently then singled for us to leave the room. 'I will bet anyone 1,000 jewel that this girl turns out to be a bitch and was just acting in front of Jii-chan.' I silently added to my statement.
"I will take you to your locker and classes and then if you want I'll show you the main focuses of our school before the first bell." She said as we walked down the corridor. 'Okay maybe I was wrong and maybe she is nice. Lucky for me no-one knew about the silent bet.' He thought to himself sheepishly.
She stopped along a long row of lockers. "Master has arranged for us to have lockers next to each other so I can show you around easier." She said as she pointed at one locker in particular.
"Of coarse Jii-chan would do that." I grumbled under my breath. She inhaled a fast gasp.
"Wait! Master Makarov is your grandpa?!" She half yelled.
"You know Japanese?" I half yelled back at her. She rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.
"Only a little because of anime." She said with a small grin.
"YOU WATCH ANIME!" This time I couldn't help but to yell full blast. She just nodded. We then started to talk about our favourite anime on the tour.
"Are you joking. Sword Art Online is my favourite too!" She said with a small laugh. 'Wow this girl is awesome!' I practically screamed in my head. The bell cut off my thoughts.
"Awww!" I whined as we started to walk.
"Don't worry about it." She giggled slightly. "We have all the same classes so that I could show you around better." She explained as she stopped at a door and opened it. My eyes bulged out of my head when I saw the classroom. The fifteen kids in there were all throwing stuff around and fighting each other and the teacher was siting at her desk drinking some beer.
"Cana-Sensei! We have a new students!" The blonde girl called to the teacher who looked up and nodded at me before going back to drinking. "You see in this class we do whatever we want to and the teacher, Canna Alberona, doesn't even care." She said with a grin.
"Wow. Just wow. I like this school already." I said with a smug grin. "Hey I just realised I never caught your name." I said aloud as realisation hit me. She giggled lightly.
"My name is Lucy Heratfilia." She said with a grin as she sat in the nearest free chair. I sat down next to her. "Um if you don't mind me asking… How did you get expelled from your old school?" She asked cocking her head to the side.
"Um. Well. You see. Ah." I stuttered trying to think of a way to put it.
"OI! Natsu!" A voice yelled at me. I knew that voice all to well. But it couldn't be. Could it? I spun around and came face to face with the Ice-prick. "What are you doing here at my school!" He demanded. I was about to retort when I got tackled in a hug.
"Natsu your back!" Ezra screeched as she hugged me tightly on the ground. I just laughed at her. "Where did you go?" She asked now turning all intimidating with a glare.
"Erza remember his parents made him move away." Another voice piped in. This time it was Lissana. "It is so good to see you again." She said as she shoved Erza away from me only to take her place.
"You guys are way rough. But your right it is good to have the old group back." Lucy said with a grin. A memory flashed in my mind. It was of an eight year old girl, our age. She had medium length blonde hair and deep chocolate eyes. I compared the memory to Lucy and released that it was the same Lucy from back then.
"Oh man. I am an idiot. I can't believe I forgot you, Luce." I wailed to her. She just giggled.
"Actually I wanted to see how long it took you to realise." She said with a sheepish grin.
"Wow I can believe you forgot the girl who you swore you would marry when you grew up. Huh, Flame Fart." Gray said with a proud smirk. I felt my face heat up at his statement and looked over at Lucy to see her face the same.
"Yeah. You two were so kawaii back then." Lissana said with a dreamy face.
"Agreed. You would always say that when you were sixteen years old you would get married." Ezra was now gaining in. My face just got redder.
"Say, Lucy? How old are you?" Gray asked with a smirk. I looked over at Lucy and saw her covering her face in her hands. "Actually I do want a real answer. But I also wanna tease you." He said with a smirk.
"I-I'm gonna be turning s-sixteen t-this S-Saturday." She grumbled now shaking her head side to side.
"So the wedding ceremony will be this Saturday then?" Lissana said with a smug grin.
"Who's getting married?!" Mira-Jane yelled as she charged towards us.
"Mira no one is getting married. They are just teasing me and Natsu about us saying we were gonna get married when we turn sixteen. But to be fair we were eight." Lucy said in a defensive tone. I just nodded my head rapidly.
"Awwwww. Young love." Mira cooed as she joined her sister in dream land.
"WE ARE NOT IN LOVE!" Me and Lucy shrieked at the same time. Everyone around us just started to snicker at us as we both turned beet red.
"Cana-Sensei! Please help me! They are saying I am in love with Natsu." Lucy whined to the now approaching teacher. She eyed me up and down for a second.
"Good choice, Lucy. He is quite cute. Although his hair is really weird." She said grinning at the two of us. She they went behind Lucy and shoved her into me, making both of us tumbled to the ground.
I looked up to see her eyes gazing down at me. I then looked at our position. Her hands were rested on my chest as she lay on top of me. Her legs were in between mine making the situation even more awkward.
"Lucy my princess. How are y-" A guy started but stopped when he looked at us. He had golden-mane like hair and wore slightly tinted glasses. "Lucy! Who is this man? You belong to me!" He declared. We immediately sat up. I don't know why but my heart ached when I heard that she had a boyfriend.
"I do not belong to you Loke and you know it. Anyway, I thought you only had eyes for Aries. Hmmm maybe I should tell her about your constant flirting with me and all the other girls." She said with a smug smirk. The guy flinched before taking off. "Also we aren't dating or anything, we tripped over!" Lucy called after him, after a second.
Everyone laughed at her. Well everyone but me because I was still trying to get my flaming cheeks to calm down. Lucy just turned light pink as she avoided eye contact. The bell then rang signalling the next lesson.
"What do you kids have next?" Cana asked us.
"Um Me and Gray have Social Studies." Mira said with a small frown. "And Laxus is in that class. My my." She said shaking her head.
"And Juvia." Gray stated with an eye roll.
"Well better go now anyway." Mira said practically dragging the Gray behind her as she walked out of the class.
"I have to meet Jellal at our student council meeting." Erza said before quickly taking her leave.
"Free period." Lissana stated simply. Lucy and I both nodded to symbol that we did two. "In that case, lets go outside and sit under the tree." She stated before running outside. I gave Lucy a questioning look. She just smiled before grabbing my hand and following Levy. We stopped in front of a big tree in the Magnolia park garden.
"Wait! Isn't this off of the school grounds?" I asked getting worried about the rules.
"Yeah but we can leave the campus as long as we don't skip any classes to do so." Lucy said simply as she sat down on the grass. She patted the spot next to her and smiled up at me. I quickly sat down on the bristly green grass. Lesson sat down as well but not before a smug smirk.
"Hey you guys wanna play truth or dare." Lissana asked. I somehow managed to miss her evil smile. I nodded and Lucy just shrugged but shifted so she now sat on her knees. "Okay I'll go first. Lucy, truth or dare?" She asked leaning in slightly.
"Um truth?" Lucy answered the question with a question.
"Dammit. I had a dare all ready and waiting. Okay what to ask then." She trailed off. "Oh I got it! How many boy friends have you ever had." She asked with a smug grin. Lucy blushed lightly.
"To be honest. I have only ever kissed a guy once and technically I didn't want to. He just kissed me without permission. I didn't even like him." Lucy mumbled the last part under her breath. Wow that was a shocker. What the heck though, she is so pretty why would't she have kissed more guys. Wait! WHAT?! What did I just think. I mean sure she is pretty and all. UGGGGGH.
"Wow. Okay then. Now its your turn to ask one of us." Lissana said with a genuine smile this time.
"Lu-chan!" A voice called off in the distance. We all turned to see a short girl running towards us. She had shoulder length blue hair that bounced up and down as she ran towards us. She stopped as she neared ad started to walk. She then sat down next to Lucy.
"Hey Levy-chan! How are you?" Lucy asked smiling.
"I'm fine. Ohh is this the new kid who you are posed to marry on Saturday? Hi nice to meet you I'm Levy Mcgarden." She said extending a hand. "I'm only kidding. Mira told me about the conversation from this morning and it is nice to meet Lu-chan's childhood friend who I have heard so much about." She raved on. Lucy laughed dawkwardly.
"Okay Levy! We are playing Truth or dare. Wanna play?" Lucy asked to change the subject.
"Sure. Also Wendy and Romeo are coming two." Levy said. I cocked my head to th side. "Just some friends." Levy clarified. Before I could ask anything two kids ran up to us. They seemed to be a few years younger. Maybe fourteen years old.
"Hey Lucy-nii." The boy yelled running forward and hugging her. The boy had short pure black hair and black eyes. The girl then hugged Lucy as well. She had long midnight blue hair and navy blue eyes.
"Hey guys. Meet Natsu. A child hood friend of mine. Natsu this is Romeo and Wendy." Lucy said as she gestured to me. I did a small wave.
"Hi Natsu-nii!" Romeo said with a wave.
"Hello Natsu-san." Wendy said with a smile.
"Okay in that case. I change who I was gonna ask. Wendy, truth or dare?" Lucy asked grinning slightly. 'Time to set some people up.' Lucy thought to herself.
"Um truth." Wendy answer easily.
"Okay then. Who do you have a crush on?" She asked leaning forward eagily. She was always into this stuff. Wendy blushed a bright pink.
"F-Fine. I-I like…" She paused. "Romeo." She said looking down in shame. We were all stunned. Romeo remained silent as he gaped at her.
"I like you two Wendy." He said with a small smile. She looked up at him hope in her eyes. She squealed and leaned over and hugged him.
"Okay my turn. Levy truth or dare?" She asked. 'Okay. If I had to confess so does Levy.' Wendy thought smugly.
"Um Dare I guess." Levy said to her.
"I dare you to text Gajeel saying how you truly feel about him." She said smugly. Levys eyes widened but she nodded. She pulled out her phone and texted something before reading it aloud.
"Hey Gajeel. I just wanted you to know that I really like you as in like like and it is okay if you don't feel the same. Love Shrimp." She said in a slight huff. "Okay my turn now. Natsu, Truth or dare?" She asked.
"Dare." I said really eager. She looked very happy that I had picked dare.
" I dare you to kiss Lucy on the lips." She blurted out. I flinched and I saw Lucy do the same. I noticed Lissana trying to contain her laugh.
"W-What?" Lucy asked stunned. Levy just shrugged.
"Fine." I grumbled. I grabbed Lucy and before she had the chance to react then I slammed my lips on hers. Her eyes were opened wide. I actually forgot that it was a dare completely and melted into the kiss. There was the sound like a snap of a camera. We both jerked back and looked at Levy.
"And post." She said as she messed with her phone.
"D-Did you post that on the school blog?" Lucy asked with fear in her voice.
"Yep."
"Why would you."
"Cause I could."
"Levy."
"Lucy. You just looked so cute."
The bell rang and cut off their bickering. Slowly everyone stated to leave but just before Lucy could I grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"Hey Lucy?" I asked timidly. She looked at me in an expectant matter. "C-Can we kiss again some time?" I asked as I rubbed the back of my neck in shame. She looked stunned at first but soon smiled. She then pulled me into a kiss there and then. I melted into the kiss straight away and kissed her back.
"I like you two Natsu." She said after we pulled apart. We then kissed again.
