Lucy didn't give a reaction or any sign showing surprise when Lisanna pulled up the empty seat next to her.
"Hi!" She grinned, shooting a beam towards the emotionless blonde, who blandly turned to stare at the pixie cut girl, not bothering to stop chewing her food.
Lisanna mentally sighed. She really did actually want to be friends with the blonde. She just didn't know how she could get through to her. "I'm Lisanna, by the way. It's nice to meet you, Lucy-san!" Letting enthusiasm leak into her voice to show her genuine meanings, Lisanna gave Lucy a double thumbs-up while curving her mouth into a somewhat cat-ish smile.
Her efforts were returned with a simple nod before Lucy continued to bite into her sandwich.
Confused sweat trickled down her forehead, as Lisanna's face plastered with a nervous smile. "Umm..." She didn't know how to continue! It was like a one-sided conversation- scratch that it was a one-sided conversation.
How do I get her to open up... Lisanna's eyes spun as she quickly attempted to find a subject they could easily and freely speak about. What did she usually talk about with Natsu, Gray, and everyone else?! Lisanna's brain churned as Lucy showed no signs of any affect of awkwardness (she showed no signs at all, honestly). "..." They had just met each other, an hour ago, or so in the classroom, and Lisanna knew absolutely nothing of the girl sitting next to her.
Her conversations with Natsu? They were mainly just teasing, call-backs, a few wars (pun offs were the best), and newest occasions. Why was this so hard? Lisanna never really knew about the difficulties of a conversation until now.
Maybe she should just get right to the point?
No way! Lisanna shook her head in disagreement to that opinion. That would be so confusing and creepy! A person you just met two minutes ago, asking for your phone number? She'd probably mistake it the wrong way; I'm not really interested in girls...
Lisanna let out a small, "gah!" before embarrassingly realizing her outburst, and attempted (keyword, attempted) to cover up her mistake by coughing, and scratching the back of her head (thankfully Lucy wasn't bothered by it at all. She was staring straight ahead into space, while eating her sandwich). "Um... How do you like the school so far?" Lisanna smiled, finally deciding to continue the conversation. If she wanted to be friends, she'd have to work for it. Not to mention, her newly created ship absolutely needed to sail. Maybe Mira-Nii's shipping antics were rubbing off on her.
"It's fine." "Oh, that's good! Are you having a good time here?"
"...I've been here for an hour. I don't have a say in that partake of the manner, yet." "Oh... Haha, you're right. Silly of me to ask..."
"It is completely normal of you to do so, there's no need to feel down." "Thanks for saying so... But, uh... Y-You don't need to speak so formerly with me. I'm just a fellow classmate, and hopefully your future friend!"
"...I see. But I was raised speaking this way, so please don't feel bothered."
"O-Oh..." Lisanna sheepishly scratched her chin, in nervousness. "Okay, then... If you need anything, you can always ask me or the guys over there! We'll be sure to help you around!" Waving a hand towards the (spying) Natsu and others Lisanna placed another genuine grin on her face, and a small giggle.
Lucy didn't reply for sometime, only staring at the silver haired girl's expression, and for a moment, Lisanna thought she might have had something stuck to her face, but Lucy finally turned away, her eyes closing. "Is that so?" Opening her beautiful brown eyes again, Lucy seemed to drift off into her thoughts again. "I'll do just that then."
Happy with her accomplishment, Lisanna applauded herself mentally. Yes! Good job, self! Celebrating her small accomplishment, Lisanna mindlessly pumped her fist in the air. Wait. Now what was she supposed to d-
Hold on! This was the perfect timing to ask for her phone number!
Lisanna cheered again at her stunning (if she did say so herself) and genius idea. "Hey, Lucy-san?" Getting no reply, but with her chocolate orbs fixed back on her, Lisanna assumed that was her cue to continue. "Could I maybe," Pursuing her lips together, and crossing her fingers for it to work the way she hoped, Lisanna hesitated before continuing. "Have your phone number?"
Although Lucy didn't react, Lisanna flushed and waved her palms in front of her mindlessly. "N-N-N-Not like I'm going to stalk you or anything!" She chuckled nervously, damn she was so awkward at this. "It's just since I'm kind of hoping we can be friends... And you might need help around the school, I can assure you that if we have each other's phone numbers, it'd work out better, and more smoothly!" Luckily, she stopped stuttering near the end of her sentence, and Lucy paused before finally giving her reaction.
Without bothering to nod, Lucy reached into her black hooded pocket, and pulled out a cellphone. "I'll read it out to you."
Lisanna's face dawned with excitement, silently still cheering. "Sure!.. Uh, I think I left my phone in the classroom, but I'll go get a napkin or something to write it down on!" Standing up from her chair, the pixie-cut girl raced around the long table to Natsu, who was nervously waiting in anticipation.
"Did she accept?" His whisper was hushed as his eyes darted around nervously.
Lisanna let out a fake sigh, shaking her head.
She almost felt bad as the look of terror dawned across her best friend's face.
Almost.
She burst out into a fit of laughter, clutching her stomach in her giggle's wake. Realization struck him, and Natsu whacked Lisanna playfully on the head. "You're so mean!" "Nyaaa~! Lisanna stuck a tongue out at him, before requesting for a pen. "Do you have a paper too? A napkin would suffice."
Natsu shook his head in denial, as he called around, "Anyone gotta pen?"
Murmurs went around the table, resulting in no one having a tool to write with. "Eh, that's fine." Lisanna shrugged, giving up as she walked back towards her seat besides Lucy, who was now staring at her phone in wait.
XOXOX
Natsu exhaled. Poor Lisanna. And she was doing this for him, too.
He watched as his friend walked back to her seat, even though she seemed completely and perfectly fine, it would definitely be a pain to ask Lucy again. They had just met her after all, you don't normally simply ask for a phone number five minutes after a meeting. Even worse, Lisanna had the same habit as him; She was completely forgetful.
He'd have to at least help her (well try to anyways) remember, later on.
Reaching a hand into his pocket, Natsu fumbled around, attempting to find his phone to create a note for later to assist his best friend in recalling.
"What the-" Patting around his sides, Natsu stood from his chair. "Where the fu-" Looking around him, he wondered if he might've dropped it or placed it somewhere hidden from sight. "My pho- Oh. No. She. Didn't." More realization struck to him. Whirling around, Natsu glared as he gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Lisanna took my freaking phone."
XOXOX
The silverette grinned with a smirk, as she pressed the lock button on the smartphone.
What could Natsu's password be?
"Hold on a second, Lucy. Just gotta unlock my phone~!" She cooed, humming a soft tune to press the home button to see the length of his password. She nearly fell out of her chair, deadpanning as she saw how long the digits showed. "What the hell!? It's so long! Ten, frickin' digits long!?" Lucy turned her direction, momentarily aiming her attention elsewhere. "Is something wrong?"
Lisanna sent a nervous laugh. "N-No, nothing's wrong..." She furiously pressed a random series of digits on the screen. What the fuck, Natsu?!
There was absolutely no way in Mavis's holy behind, Natsu could remember a ten digit long, password... Unless...
Lisanna gasped as an idea struck her, determination filling her being. "What if I try..." In acceptance to her guess, the phone screen opened, causing Lisanna to completely fall off the chair she sat in. Lucy looked down at her, "You okay?" Trembling, Lisanna grabbed the table for help on standing up. "Y-Yeah..." She said darkly. "Of course..."
The moron had his favorite pizza place's phone number for his damn phone pass-code.
Lisanna sighed, cooling down. Never mind, knowing Natsu it was typical.
Finally tapping on the Contacts icon, Lisanna and Lucy exchanged phone numbers (well more like, Natsu did virtually). When finished, the silver haired girl quickly texted the phone number to her own smartphone, before throwing the phone directly behind her, high into the air. A loud "Gah!... Fucking, Lisanna..." was heard from somewhere behind her (though she completely ignored it), and she earned a stare from Lucy. Smiling innocently, Lisanna grinned at the blonde, who simply stared back before deciding on finishing the remains of the sandwich.
At that point, the bell rang mentioning lunch was over.
Multiple students (including Lisanna and Lucy) rose from their chairs, each gathering their belongings to head to their next class. Lisanna tapped her face in thought. Chemistry was next... Natsu should be attending the class, too. I'll stop by my locker really quickly to get my phone.
Humming to herself in delight, Lisanna (somewhat) skipped down the hall in thought of her newest (hopefully) friend as she went to go fetch her phone. Smirking evilly, she rubbed her hands together. Her first ship, Nalu, was bound to set sail. She knew it.
...Mira would be proud.
