CHAPTER 4 - Nothing Happened!
-Break-
I walk over to the group: Natsu, Gray, Erza, Levy, Cana, Lisanna, Mira and Juvia.
"Hey," I greet just as I'm about to sit beside Levy.
"Lucy," Erza states in a unusual way that makes me feel nervous and turns to me, "How come you didn't tell us about Sting?"
"W-Waa..." I yelp and jump back; not knowing how to respond.
"You told them..." I sigh with disappointment at Natsu. My shoulder drops; causing my bag to slide down my arm as I take a seat.
"You should have told us Lu-chan!" Levy says panicked.
"One of us could have come with you so you weren't with that bastard on your own!" Gray exclaims as he gestures.
"Maybe she wanted it that way..." Cana murmurs cheekily. I give her a 'look'
"Um...What did Sting do?" Lisanna asks charily. Well this isn't awkward or anything...
Their eyes shift to me curiously...expectantly.
"Well erm," I hold my arm self-consciously and avoid glances, "Nothing actually happened..." I squint slightly.
"Nonsense," Erza shakes her head in gainsay, "Why would Natsu be so concerned otherwise?"
"He was holding her against the bed!" Natsu blurts out vexatiously whilst clenching his fist.
All eyes widen in shock and a few gasps slip from Lisanna, Levy, Juvia, Mira. They were probably thinking all sorts of disturbing things...
"That bastard..." Natsu and Gray mutter under their breaths.
"Lu-chan! Are you okay?" Levy says with shock as she tugs at my arm lightly
"Lucy!" Mira gasps and covers her mouth.
"Yes, but nothing happened!" I wave my hands in front of me; desperately trying to persuade them.
"Cos I came just in time..." Natsu retorts quietly.
"I believe that's considered as harassment, Lucy." Erza says adamantly.
"But he didn't do anything..." I restate.
"What woulda happened if I didn't come?" Natsu entreats and glances at me, "Huh, Luce?"
"He's right, Lucy" Erza admits, "You're lucky that he came when he did."
"Lu-chan, something could have happened..." Levy places a hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, for once this idiot saved you." Gray admits also.
"What's that supposed to mean!" Natsu flips at Gray.
"He wouldn't do anything, I know Sting wouldn't." Slips from my mouth as if it were an automatic response. There's a brief silence.
"And how is it you can be so sure?" Erza says seekingly.
"Yeah, how can you trust a bastard like him?" Natsu spits out poison.
"Guys, it's fine." I sigh; knowing that they won't let go.
"Lucy, it's not." Erza says head-strongly.
"Don't you guys see?" Cana speaks up amusedly, everyone turns to her with confusion, "She obviously didn't mind him touching her..."
Natsu clenches his fist; Erza's eyes widen as do the others'.
"No!" I shout quiet screamishly as I shake my head.
"So you do mind him touching you?" Erza interrogates further.
"Yes! Well-no," I choke on my own words, "I just-"
Then I'm saved by the ringing bell.
"As the Student council president, I will sort him out." Erza says as she stands up and places her hands on her hips somewhat heroically.
"Heh, me too." Natsu mutters to Gray, who nods as they both rise.
I feel my stomach churn.
"We have, Geography right Levy-chan?" I ask.
She nods.
"Me too~" Mira smiles way too happily.
We part from the group. (I think most of them have History)
"Are you and Sting okay though?" Mira ponders with concern as we walk down the long corridor; Levy and Mira on either side of me.
"Well, I guess? I'm not really sure what you mean by 'okay'." I say with a level of uncertainty.
"You should ask the teacher to change partners." Levy suggests.
I shake my head, "We spent a while working on it yesterday. It would be a waste."
She nods unsurely as we enter Geography and walk to the back desks, where we sit. I sit beside Levy, who sits beside Mira.
Miss puts on a video about Erosion. Yes, at least I can sit back in this lesson.
As soon as we sit down, Mira leans past Levy and shoots me down with a question, "So what happened?"
I almost fall off my chair.
"You can tell us, since the boys are gone." Mira eyes me expectantly.
"Yes, tell us!" Levy agrees.
Well it's only Levy and Mira...
"But don't tell the others okay?" I firmly warn them. They nod. I knew the others would make the biggest commotion.
"We were taking a break," I start and take a deep breath, "Sting moved closer to me and he was saying that I'm defenceless or whatever against him. And he was saying how can you trust me. But I knew Sting wouldn't go that far."
I sigh then quieten my voice, "Then he pinned me down against the bed and basically said how would I know that. And the thing is I didn't, but like I said I know Sting wouldn't do that. Then Natsu came in through the window and it obviously took it the wrong way...and yeah..." I trail off uncomfortable.
"So Sting just wanted to know if you trusted him...?" Levy asked with confusion.
"I guess he wanted to know, since I hate his guts, why I'd have a reason to trust him." I shrug.
Mira's mouth curves into a smile.
"What?" I look at her uncomfortably.
"Nothing." She giggles to herself. Don't tell me she's fantasizing again. Of course she is; she's Mira.
"Don't get me wrong, I still find Sting really annoying especially when he calls me Blondie, but it just never crossed my mind that Sting would pull anything so I don't think I trust him, like I trust you guys or Natsu." I explain quickly.
Levy nods understandingly.
"So you don't consider Sting your friend?" Mira queries.
"No way!" I stress and cringe at the absurdity of her even suggesting that.
"An enemy then?" Mira quizzes.
"Hm," I hesitate, "Not really..." I tilt my head.
"Then what is he to you?" Mira questions directly.
"I think he's just a classmate to Lu-chan. They were only working on a project together." Levy saves me.
"Yeah," I nod in agreement, "A fellow student."
We all laugh.
"Girls at the back, be quiet!" Miss calls.
"Sorry Miss." We say in unison.
