Since hurricane Sandy is gonna hit my state, (I think?) I decided to do one more update since my power's more than likely gonna go out. So here's chapter 4!
And yes, this possibly could be considered a NaLu chapter. I'm not really sure, but flirting counts, right?
And one more thing! I loved the feedback on how all of you hate the bitches called Annabelle and Kimberlie! XD I love this so much! You guys and gals rock!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail or A Cinderella Story. Just my two OC's ^^.
Notes: Thoughts
Nomad, Lucy
Chapter Four
.:My secret Nomad:.
"Move."
The first words that Kimberlie Adams and her subordinates said simultaneously in the crowded hallways of Fairy High. Instantly, her posse was surrounded by the swarm of high school students, mostly guys trying to get a good look at the beautiful three. They continued to walk past the crowd, being rude as always.
"Move, move, move, move-" "Kimberlie!" The trio had stopped when the voice yelled out Kimberlie's name. They looked in the crowd and saw two girls, one dressed in green, the other in red, running up to them, smiles on their faces.
"Hey sister friend!" Angel yelled out, Karen not too far behind. The trio realized that it was only them and continued to walk, Kimberlie waving her hand to them and proceeded with her swagger. "Remind me again why we tolerate them?" Kimberlie said, an annoyed look on her face. "They gave you a Prada bag for your birthday." Evergreen said, giving a knowing look on her face. She pushed her glasses up more to her face, looking like she was the smart, and somehow, the nicest out of the three.
"Try "Frada" bag. Totally fake." Minerva hissed, looking to Kimberlie with her nose scrunched in disgust.
Lucy and Jellal passed the trio with swiftness, avoiding the humiliation of being labeled as "Losers" in the hallway, where everyone was socializing. Looking back, Jellal and Lucy glanced at them, then looked at each other. Jellal shrugged his shoulders.
While walking to class, Jellal and Lucy happened to run into an acquaintance. Dan Straight.
"Greetings! Lucy, you're look absolutely stunning today, as per usual." Dan nodded, smiling truly to the two. "Thank you Dan." Lucy replied. A ring emitted from Dan's wristwatch, "If you'll excuse me, I must get back to my galaxy." Pulling out of his bag what looked like a walkie talkie with a long antenna, Dan passed the two and turned on the device, talking into the object. "Zion, Lieutenant Dan here. Hello? Can you hear me? Captain, you're going in and out."
Watching his retreating figure, Jellal fixed his bag over his shoulder and sighed, "Poor guy." Lucy, looking at Jellal questioningly, "At least he's happy." Jellal gave an 'Are-you-kidding-me?' look and proceeded with what he was saying. "Happy? Guy lives in another world."
"Sometimes fantasy is better than reality, Jellal." Lucy said, watching Dan walk to his next class. Interrupting the conversation, a cell phone ring went off, more specifically Lucy's. "Speaking of fantasies. . . ." Jellal smiled, watching his friend take out her phone and smiled. "See you later!" Lucy said, waved goodbye to Jellal and walked to the fountain on the campus.
"Ah yes! The secret admirer beckons!" Jellal said, waving good bye to Lucy and walked to his next class.
Sitting down on the fountain edge, Lucy opened her phone and looked at the text, reading it with pleasure.
Where have you been? We haven't talked in ages.
Lucy smiled at the text. It was from an anonymous admirer that went to Fairy High who had similar problems as what Lucy had. Ever since Lucy went onto the library computers and clicked onto the Fairy High private chat room and somehow started talking to Nomad, the username her admirer is, she's texted and emailed him all the time.
Her username was Princetongirl818, since it was the college she's always wanted to go to from her childhood. Nomad questioned this one day and she told him why she chose the name. He replied something funny and joy lit up her world of sadness. It was her personal happiness that loved getting these texts, she just wouldn't stop smiling after each one her admirer sent.
She texted him back with We talked this morning. and sent the text. Her cellphone rang again a few seconds later.
I can't stop thinking about you. What's on your mind right now?
You first.
Well, I'm thinking Profesor Conbolt dissected one too many frogs.
Lucy giggled at his text, smiling. Looking up from her phone, she watched as Mr. Macao Conbolt looked like he was trying to catch flies with his mouth. What really wasn't helping was the fact he was also eating his sandwich, his food flying everywhere.
Lucy looked around her line of vision, wanting to know which guys were texting. She wanted to see where Nomad was, considering the fact Lucy knows him but Nomad doesn't know her. Not yet, at least. Taking notice of the many guys texting on campus, her smile faltered, hoping Nomad was in the area but wasn't. Or what she thought.
A ring interrupted her thoughts.
Ribet Ribet.
Giggling, she texted him back happily.
Laugh out loud.
I wanna hear your laugh. When can we finally meet?
Lucy hesitated, thought for a minute, then texted him back, sending the message. The bell rung and Lucy picked up her things, walking to the doors of Fairy High.
A hand held out a phone, waiting for a reply. The cellphone rang, indicating the text was received. The man looked at his phone. On his screen, it said one word.
Soon.
Natsu closed his phone, disappointed that Princetongirl818 would see him soon. He wanted to see her now, know who the hell she was. She was quite interesting in his perspective. He glanced at all the students retreating back to the school, book bags and textbooks in tow. Natsu sighed, This is gonna be a long day.
Durring a free period, Natsu walked to the library, hoping that Princetongirl818 would be on one of the computers. He logged into a computer, reached the Fairy High private chat rooms and typed a sentence to her.
How's your day so far?
Lucy, just logging into the chat rooms, noticed Nomad was on and had sent her an email. She read the sentence, then replied back.
Raging step-mom, work and cool kids who can't get over themselves. Ever feel like you don't belong?
Absolutely. I can be surrounded by a sea of people and still feel all alone. Then I think of you.
Smiling at his response, Lucy responded back.
Hey Nomad, do you think we've ever met?
I don't know. Our school has over 3500 kids.
Well that narrows it down.
As Nomad was about to reply, the school bell rung, signaling the day had ended. Grabbing her books and her cellphone, Lucy logged out and walked out of the library, leaving Nomad. Not going to her locker, she arrived at her car and drove home, thinking of taking a nice walk down the street and back, of course texting Nomad all the while.
She reached home, back to where she least wanted to be. She unlocked the front door, kicked off her sneakers and dropped off her bag on the floor. Walking to the kitchen, she opened the 'fridge and looked inside, grabbed a frozen pizza and closed the door. Reheated the pizza, Lucy ate it and looked at the time. She smiled, remembering her thoughts in her car.
Slipping back on her sneakers, she grabbed her keys, cellphone, and shoulder bag, locking the front door behind her and proceeded with the afternoon conversation in the library. Nomad texted her back.
Well at least I can eliminate the guys. You're not a guy right? 'Cause if you are, I'll kick your butt.
I am not a guy.
Up in the late hours of night, they continued their conversation, neither one of them wanting to falter to sleep.
Have you told your dad about Princeton yet?
If only I could. I haven't even told him I wanna be a writer.
My father always encouraged me to pursue my dreams.
Not mine. He has another plan for my life.
Lucy noticed the time, realizing how late it was, and decided to end the conversation.
It's 2 A.M. We've been at this for five hours.
Well I think we broke our record.
We should turn in. Sweet dreams.
Wait.
Pausing for a second, Lucy waited for his reply.
I can't sleep without knowing there's hope.
Half the night, I waste in sighs.
In a wakeful dose, I sorrow.
For the hand,
The lips,
The eyes.
For the meeting of tomorrow.
Quoting Tennyson. Impressive.
Please meet me at the homecoming dance.
I'll be waiting for you at 11:00 in the middle of the dance floor.
Lucy read over and over the exact same sentence, now etched into her mind. Will I finally see him? She looked outside her window, the waxing gibbous shape of the moon glowing bright as the sun. Doubt filled her mind. Would he even recognize me? Maybe he might not go the the dance. Lucy's hands ran through her hair and she let out a big breath she held in involuntary. We'll just have to see.
Natsu looked at his computer screen, hoping Princetongirl818 would be at the dance. Sighing to himself, he whispered softly, "Sweet dreams. . ."
Yes, Natsu is REALLY OOC in this fanfiction, but how amazing would it be if Natsu was smart AND wanted to be a writer AND and added bonus: he's hot?! XD *Fangirl squeal*
Okay enough about that! What'd you guys think? I love to see your reviews! They always make my day.
And YES, this is basically a Fairy Tail version of the movie A Cinderella Story. I've been writing that in the disclaimer for every chapter, so for those of you who have noticed the similarities, yes, this is similar from the movie. Or Fairy Tail-ed, if I must say.
Read and Review please!
