Misunderstood Feelings

Hiyaaa~ Sorry to keep you waiting :P Been so busy this days. Ughh.. Darn it! classes started again T_T Buh-bye heavenly vacation :"( I enjoyed it too much... too much that I wish it didn't end!

Aaaand, just so you know, even though I get home early, I don't get the chance to update. Why? Well, It's not because of loads of homeworks or any common hindrances you think when there's school. Instead, it's because I'M MEGA EXHAUSTED/TIRED/STRESSED/SLEEPY. And the one who's at fault is our dance practice. You see there's a festival that is celebrated here once a year and there's a contest in which we have to dance and wear flowery costumes. Crazy I know. But I have to admit I quite enjoy it, except the part that we get extremely tired. Our performance will be on Sunday, let's just hope I won't trip!

I just forced myself to do this, coz really, I deeply care for the reviewers. :)

Anyways, thanks a bunch for those who reviewed, followed and favorite-d this fanfic! I'm seriously grateful to you guys! :P

Well whattaya waitin for? Go ahead and read! :D

Chapter 7: They're at it again.

Previously on MF:

The next moment, she found herself lying down on her bed, stuck staring at the ceiling. Clutching her hot-pink blanket and blushing furiously while unconsciously smiling to herself, she thought again of how Rogue saved her. She admired his bravery and found him awesome while beating the hell out of the perverted bastards. Wait, what the heck am I thinking? She thought as she snuggled on a pillow. She heaved a deep sigh. "Why can't I seem to get him out of my mind now?... Could it be... NO! It's way too impossible!" She mentally slapped her self.

"I..I'm sorry, Lucy..but I love Lisanna.." I gasped in shock upon hearing this. It feels like my heart has been stabbed by something sharp.

I looked away abruptly. My lips were shaking, fingers clenched into fist and tears started to form in my eyes.

I was about 13 years old then. I'm wearing my Hikari Academy middle school uniform.

I gritted my teeth in anger and faced him having enough of it already.

"What about my feelings?! What about all those memories we shared? All this time I have loved you.." I cried loudly making the salmon-haired young boy in front of me flinch. I briskly rubbed the tears off my eyes.

"But you...you didn't even show a bit of appreciation to what I felt, to what I've done for you!" I yelled. He stared deeply at me and reached for me.

"L..luce, you don't understand, I- "

"You're the one who doesn't understand!" I bellowed, cutting him off and making him step backwards.

"We've known each other for years..yet you didn't understand a thing! You didn't realize that I loved you from the very start, I cared deeply for you and I did everything just to get your attention since we were young! And here I am standing in front of you, looking forward that you feel the same thing too.. " I leaned my head down and my tears fell on the floor.

"But I was wrong.." I mumbled.

"You're selfish, Natsu! You're selfish!" I recklessly shrilled directly at him, letting it all out.

He was shocked. He looked at me in disbelief as sweat ran down his forehead. At a moment he stood there, frozen and unable to utter a thing. But then, I guess he realized this was too much for him. He breathed heavily and directed his eyes back to my teary one.

"You're the selfish one Lucy! You say you love me but you're giving me that?! Look, If you really love me, you'll let me go and find my own happiness! Now, I found her, she is Lisanna! The only girl I love so butt off!" By that, he quickly ran off, leaving me surprised and at the same time distressed.

I placed both of my hands in my chest and turned to his direction. I tried to call him while crying in agony but he didn't even look back.

"Natsu!"

"Natsu...!"

"Natsu...!"

*Tutututut tutututut*

I suddenly sat up and woke up as I heard the alarm clock ring loudly in the background. After looking around, I sighed deeply and clutched my blonde hair. "That dream again huh," I mumbled.

Then I remembered that the little thing isn't stopping yet. I groaned and reached for the button above the annoying device to make it stop making noise. While I was doing so, I took a glance at the time. It's 6:57 am.

Oh my gosh! I'm going to be late!

After taking a bath and changing into my uniform, I quickly went downstairs. My mom twitched in surprise when I ran to the rack of shoes and grabbed my school shoes as fast as I can.

"Mom, I..I'm skipping breakfast, Y..you see.. I'm running late." I said as I struggled to wear the shoe on my left foot making me walk tiptoed with one foot towards her.

"Obviously." She muttered as she glanced at her wristwatch.

I gave her a peck on the cheek and ran off. "Bye mom, take care!" I waved my hand at her while my other one is holding my backpack.

"You too." She replied gleefully.

At the school..

Thank God, I arrived at school in time. When I entered the classroom, I was immediately greeted by my two new friends. Mira and Erza. Many were in the classroom already. I gladly replied to their greetings as I drifted off to my seat and placed my bag in there. I didn't dismissed looking at Rogue's chair, remembering all that happened last night.

"Oh no! The jacket!" I thought, worry was evident on my face. Mira and Erza noticed this and they went to me. "What's wrong Lucy? You look troubled." Mira asked as she tapped my shoulder.

"I... I... eto..." I trailed off unable to say something. I wasn't really sure if I should tell them what happened last night or not.

"Is there any problem?" Erza asked, tilting her head. I shook my head and denied. Either way, I'll somehow get into trouble and she'll definitely question me anyway.

I thought of how should I return the jacket to Rogue. He is not the type that I can easily approach, he is one of the notorious duo after all and it would cause the other girls to freak out! God, was I traumatized by that experience, and the fact that he was the heir of a super-big company made it all worse! But.. I am the mighty and brave Lucy Heartfilia, right? Ever since I was young, I do things on my own and my mom's just there to support me. I can handle things more than others think.

But this time.. it's just way too different... in what way? Is it really because he is one of the duo and he is rich? Or is it because just thinking of him makes my heart race and my face heat up? Doushiyou?!... Doushiyou?! (What should I do?)

I didn't realize that I was spacing out already. My friends stood across me wondering what has gotten in to me. Mira was waving her hand in front of my face. "Hello.. a penny for your thoughts?" She asked with a puzzled expression.

Erza suddenly clapped her hands loudly in front of me so I could regain my consciousness. It was so loud that everyone in the room heard it.

"Oh." I snapped out.

I looked at the two and saw Mirajane smiling at me and Erza having a serious look. I instantly shivered seeing her like that.

"Oh.. I'm so sorry about that." I apologized as I rubbed my head. "It's ok." Mira said. Erza just gave me a forgiving smile.

We settled ourselves on the chairs and I bluntly asked Erza. "By the way, I was wondering, why are you already the SC president? I haven't heard of elections occurring yesterday." Mira gave me a grin and Erza sighed.

"It's because my term here as a president is until I graduate." The redhead muttered.

"Really? Why is that?" I asked again.

She tucked her scarlet hair behind her ear and heaved a sigh. "Because no one can discipline the students here like I can, according to the principal." She said almost proudly.

"Figures." I said as blue vertical lines appeared on my forehead.

"And! The same thing goes for Jellal-san too, the vice president!" Mirajane added. "Souka.." (I see..) I nodded in understanding.

We continued to talk about random stuff. Erza would seldom say "because I'm the SC president" even though it didn't really have a connection to what we were talking about. Mira would just agree by saying "Souda ne!" (That's right!) And I found myself being dumbfounded of how they act.

Though they're like that I really enjoyed their company. I finally realized that not all of the students here are jerks. There are some who are reliable and you can be friends with like these two girls.

"This school isn't so bad afterall!" I mentally cheered.

Suddenly the door slammed open manifesting a girl of short stature and has a blue hair panting heavily. It was Levy! "The *pants* duo..th...they're... causing trouble again!"

"OR NOT!" I took back what I said before. Just as I was starting to admire this school, those two came in and ruined the moment.

"Those two again?! Where is it?!" Erza cried. "I..in front of the editorial room." Levy barely answered, still catching her breath. Erza hastily ran outside to see it.

"Here they go again." Mira shrugged while assisting the panting Levy. "Ughh.. they haven't changed at all. They've been doing this since last year." The white haired girl muttered while shaking her head in disappointment.

I decided to follow Erza upon hearing those from Mirajane. I wanted to check out what kind of trouble they got into this time. So, they've been constantly doing this since last year, huh? They're pretty tough.

After running behind a redhead for a minute and passing by numerous students, I finally saw a crowd of people which in turn, surrounding a commotion. Erza went further, chasing the people out her way abruptly. I tailed her.

I can hear the students whispering something about the said commotion as I went by. Levy's right, it was the troublesome duo again. After worming our way in to the crowd, we finally spotted the situation. Erza scrutinized the sight in front of her first.

There was a bunch of guys lying on the floor lying on the floor, clearly beaten up, while Sting and Rogue was standing there, grinning smugly. Well, Rogue hardly did so, he's emotionless after all!

I almost missed the most intimidating part, Sting's foot was on top of one of the guys' face, stomping at it abominably and shifting it in circular motion. His hands were stretched sidewards like a usual jerk he is. "Anybody who tries to mess up with me..." He grimly started.

"Will experience hell." he threatened narrowing his eyes while smirking.

"Yeah." Rogue nonchalantly added.

I suddenly felt a massive aura on my side. I was well aware it was from a certain redhead. And I bet she is very angry by the look on her groaning face! I stepped backwards and moved behind her, feeling goosebumps all over my body. Is she really this scary?

"Sting, Rogue! To the principal's office, NOW!" She yelled fiercely.

The other students instantly shook in fear. I remained frozen behind her but the fact that I was also afraid is cannot be denied.

The blonde delinquent simply glanced at the angry Erza and raised a brow. Feeling the urge to look at the quiet one from the duo, I sneakily peeked through the mighty president's back to catch a glimpse of Rogue. I blushed upon seeing him displaying his trademark poker face.

Erza continued groaning furiously but the two of them just ignored her. Suddenly, Sting planted his dark blue orbs on me. He looked shocked at first when he saw me but then it changed into a piercing glare.

"Oi, Blondie! You've got some business with me!" Sting boldly shouted, totally ignoring Erza who is throwing tantrums already.

I widened my eyes in confusion and met his gaze. ""Ha?" I bluntly said, tilting my head to the side, but then he grabbed my arm and started pulling me. "Cho..chotto matteyo! Let me-" I complained while trying to let go off his grip.

"Nani?!" Erza shouted in utter shock and anger.

He dragged me out of the crowd with me oblivious to where he is about to take me. I struggled to let go but he won't budge, he is gripping me tightly that my arms hurt already, it seems he doesn't want to let go of me. Everyone was surprised that the alleged Sting Eucliffe is touching me and worse, pulling me! I can literally feel the deathly stares from everyone in the crowd. I'm so getting into trouble later!

Then I noticed someone with purple hair among those glaring girls staring deeply at me. Her glare was too dominant as if the spotlight was just with her. Her stare is really different and scary, if looks could kill, I would definitely be dead right now because she was looking at me with a killing intent. She quickly looked away when she noticed I saw her.

I shrugged off all the thoughts about her and began thinking of Rogue.

As I was being continuously dragged away by Sting. I set my brown orbs to Rogue, who was looking at us in confusion. I closed my eyes in shame and gritted my teeth since I can't do anything about this bastard pulling me.

Erza's scream can be heard and it made me wince a little. It confirmed that she was enraged by this. Sting held my arm tightly as we went upstairs.

No sneak peek for now but the next chapter is ready. :)

This is the longest chapter I have written so far! :3 Yay!

Sorry if it seems lacking. Like the old times, I divided the one on my drafts again, because if I continue it will be super long and I don't have much time to do it and I doubt you'll like it if it's rushed, except if you'd like me to have insomnia and worsen the black holes below my eyes. :P

Please understand. *bows* Gomen gomen. Puh-lease..

REVIEW! (It greatly inspires me to write more!)

*I accept constructive criticisms but I do not tolerate rude/worthless reviews :P Just sayin ^^
