Chapter Six

Lucy sat in class, day dreaming once again, at least trying to. She was twirling her natural blonde hair, and leaning back against the chair. She sighs inwardly, thinking, Why couldn't I have been born rich. I would never have such problems. She had enough problems as it is, due to family and money that in her next life, she should be a Queen. She curtly nods to herself, before seeing her friend looking at her, worried. She waves at Ezra, before putting the book up to her face, hiding. Ezra was the fiercest of the group due to her intense passion. And it isn't what she needed right now, though she is one of her best friends. She needed space to think, come up with solutions about her current state. She sighs once again, feeling restless ever since this morning...

Recalling the events, she thought, I can't believe I had his underwear-. She shudders not being able to finish that sentence. The man was a monster, plain and simple. He called her and told her to run errands at 5:30 IN THE MORNING, and school started at 7:00... She ended up running back and forth, from his apartment. First he wanted his clothes colored coordinated, and she was reluctant at first before he brought the contract to her attention. Thankfully, he let her wear gloves. "Yeah, I don't need whatever disease you have." Lucy tsks, at his remark, leaning against her desk now. While she was concentrated on that, he said, "Here catch these."She looked up only to have his underwear, flying at her and landing around her including on her face, causing her to freak out and knock everything around.

Her face red from embarrassment, while he laughed. "Shut up. That's isn't funny. I don't want to see your-" "Underwear?" He asks when she hesitated, causing him to smile. "And here you have said you had boyfriends." She pauses, before picking up everything, muttering, "I can't help but be nervous." "Maybe that's why , we never got far..." Turning to look at him, her blue eyes, meeting his. He noticed he could see his reflection in them, before his attention was drawn to her lips as she spoke. "Natsu, if you wish for our contract to work, please don't do childish things." She walks past him, only to hear him laughing again. A bit annoyed, she remarks, "What is it now Mr. Pea brain?" He pauses for a moment, slightly smiling before he shrugs. "Nothing. Nothing. Hurry up and come back." "Hmph."

When she got to the Cleaners, she was quick as she could be. It was already 6:00, and she didn't know how long it would take to walk there. After handing the lady the basket of clothes, she turns to leave when the lady calls her back. "Miss, Miss, come here. Quickly." "Yes?" She walks up to the counter, as the lady puts her arm around Lucy. Right when she pulls her arm away, Lucy saw the underwear. Her face red again, mostly in anger this time. "That would be quite embarrassing if you walked around like that all day. I'll have it washed with the rest of the clothes." She just nods, feeling herself about to burst in anger. He let her walk out like that! She texted him, telling him he could get his own damn laundry now, and that she was going to school.

Damn him, she thought, and damn her for even letting him get to me. When she heard the bell rang, about to get up, two of her friends, grabbed her, pulling her. "What? What are you doing? What-?" Ezra and Levy push her into the bathroom, Ezra locking it for privacy. "Okay, spill." Lucy blinked her eyes, before Ezra remarked, "About the hot man who whisked you away. Who is he? Is he your new-" "NO," Lucy was even startled at her reaction, before taking a breath. "I sort of...Might have caused the guys car to get damaged..." Levy's eyes widen, and Lucy sighs, telling them the story. At the end of it, they looked at each other before looking at her. "So, do you think of getting another job? Or...?" Ezra asked. "The thing is I don't know if I can get another job. My grades would go down and my parents would be upset."

"You know how they are," Lucy added, rubbing the top of her head. She may be from a poor family, but her parents were strict on her for grades. Ever since she could remember, they wanted but A's from her. Though, even if she gave them that, they still seemed un pleased. Levy puts her arm around Lucy, hugging her a bit. "Is there anything we can do for you? I mean, we don't know much about cars, but that Lexus is a foreign..." "I know, I know. Thank you, but I don't think you guys can do anything. I just need to distance myself from him." "Well, I don't know how well that will work, since he has your number, and address, and-" "I get it, I get it." Ezra looks at her then remarks, "Just don't fall in love with him." Lucy just blinked at that statement, before ignoring it. "Let's just go to class." Who would want to fall in love with that jerk anyway?
