Lucy P.O.V

1 Year ago

As the pink cherry blossoms were falling, I started to tear up.

"I'm late and I'm lost...I don't know where to go!" I whined. Tears started to roll down my face and I felt embarrassed. A freshman, crying in broad day light.

I lifted my sleeves up to my face and wiped the tears away.

What am I suppose to do?!

I kept wiping the tears from my eyes when I saw a pair of feet approach me. I looked up to see a man with pink hair.

"Hey, are you alright?"

My cheeks turned pink in embarrassment. I quickly shook my head and looked away.

"Are you lost or something?"

I slowly nodded.

"You do know this would be faster if you just spoke me," he said impatiently.

I looked up and saw his handsom face. He looked quite older yet handsom, mature, and mysterious to me. I shook my thoughts from my head and spoke, "I need to get to school...but I'm lost."

"Uh...Which school?"

"Yosei Teru High..." (Yosei Teru means Fairy Tail in Japanese.)

"Really?" He started to laugh. "I'm heading there too!" He said with a wide smile.

As I looked at his wide smile, I felt my cheeks warm up and my heart pound. He then showed me his hand, "We can go together."

Ever since that day, no other person as ever made my heart pound the same way he made mine.

Lu-y...Lu-cy..."LUCY!"

I jumped and looked over to the person calling my name.

"Earth to Lucy! I've been trying to get your attention for the past 5 minutes!"

I began to scratch my head and laugh awkwardly, "Sorry Levy..."

"So, what do you think?"

I looked at her confused.

She placed her hand on her temples as she sighed, "I was talking about the band. If we should disband or what?"

"Uh..."

"You really weren't listening, were you?" Levy said while reaching to sip her strawberry milkshake.

As the loud sound of the different people speaking in the dinner filled the air, I started to fell bad for not listening.

Come on, Lucy. How could you think about him when you're suppose to be spending time with your best friend?!

Levy put down the shake and she wiped the milk mustache from her face. "I was talking about the band. You know how Niggy left the school, right?"

I nodded.

"Yeah, now we don't have a guitarist! Click is screwed!" She yelled while pulling on her hair.

"Levy, Click isn't screwed. Just wait. You'll find a new guitarist soon."

"You think?"

I nodded and smiled.

"Thanks Lucy."

She then grabbed the milkshake and finished it. "So, how's things on your side?"

I blushed. "Uh...?"

"Do you have a crush yet?"

My face turned pink. "Uh...no..."

She smirked. "Uh huh. Yeah, no. You're hiding something."

"No!" I quickly yelled.

"First of all, you're being defensive. Second of all, you keep going in and out of a trans..." She said as she pulled her fingers back to show she was counting. She smirked and looked at me with a mischevious glance, "Those are all signs that you like someone~."

"Well-"

"I knew it! So, who is it? The cold hearted student council president? I wouldn't blame you, he's kinda cute, especially that mysterious aura of his."

"No..."

"Is it that senior with the blond hair?"

"Levy, there's like a billion blond guys at school!"

"Tisk tisk, there's a billion blond guys but only one blond senior that catches the eyes of many," she said dramatically.

"Oh god Levy, please don't tell me you mean Laxus," I said while I facepalmed.

"What? He's not bad looking!"

"Levy, he looks like he failed 10 grades! He's not even that cute!"

"He is pretty fine, Lucy! You just gotta look at him in the right angle."

"No," I said while shaking my head.

She shrugged as she slouched into the seat, "To each his own."

She then started thinking until she finally clapped her hands in excitement, "Oh I know! It's that playboy. Everyone has an eye on him. I wouldn't be surprised if you did too."

"No..."

"Then who?"

I can't tell her. If I do-

"Sorry Levy, it's a secret."

"Really?" She stayed quiet for a while and sighed, "Well, I'll respect that."

"Thanks Levy."

She then laid her head on the table. "You are going to tell me one day right?"

"Uh-"

"I mean, we are best friends. We tell each other stuff."

I then started to feel even guiltier. "Yeah...one day..."

I left the dinner and waved goodbye to Levy. I started to walk home when I saw him: the man I'm in love with.

I took a deep breath and yelled, "Sensei!"

He turned around and smiled. "Lucy-san!"

I ran up to him happily, "Sensei, what're you doing here?"

He scratched his head and replied, "I'm looking for a dinner."

"Oh, you mean the one down there?" I asked while pointing at the dinner I just left.

"Yeah! Thanks. Nice seeing you, Lucy-san."

I waved goodbye to him as he walked towards the dinner. My hand fell to my heart as I sighed loudly.

I looked to the side of me to see my reflection in the shop's window.

I wonder if he's meeting someone...his girlfriend? Wife?

I closed my eyes and looked backed at my reflection.

If only we had meet in different circumstances...

The next day

I was walking towards the school when I felt someone touch my shoulder. I looked back to see Levy.

"Sup!" she shouted with a smile.

"Hi Levy," I said with a smile, trying to match her energy.

"Sooo~ are you coming to the auditions today?"

"Auditions?"

"Yeah, we're holding an audition to find a new guitarist."

"Levy-"

"I mean, for support."

I sighed, "I can't, I have to work."

Levy pouted. "Work? Really? You never have free time..."

"I know, It's just...I have to pay my rent."

"Yeah I know, but tell me you're at least going to the party."

"Party?" I asked while opening the school doors.

"You know, the one for all the juniors..."

I looked at her confused.

"...at Loke's house..."

I frowned.

"Lucy!" Levy yelled in disbelief.

"What?" I asked while walking to my locker.

"I can't believe you don't know about the party!"

"Sorry for not being into other people's business," I responded while I entered my combination.

Levy sighed,"Whatever, but at least go."

"Why?" I asked while taking out my textbooks.

"Well, we got a gig."

I slammed the locker shut and stared at her in disbelief. "Really?"

"Yeah...but! That's if we can find a guitarist before the day of the party."

"That's so cool!"

"Yep! So promise me you'll go."

I then pulled my phone out of my pocket and opened my calendar. "When is it?"

"September third. It's a Saturday."

I looked at my calendar and saw it was open. "Looks like I can go."

"Cool, see ya." Levy said while running off to class.

I was leaving class when I bumped into someone, causing me to fall to the ground.

"Woah, Lucy-san. Are you okay?"

My face turned red. "I-I'm okay. Sorry..."

"It's fine." He then showed me his hand and I took it without a second thought.

"Thank you...sensei," I said as he pulled me up from the floor.

"So...not getting lost again, are we?"

My face flushed pink. "N-n-no! W-w-what do you take me for sensei! Geez~"

"Ha ha ha." He then patted me on the head happily as he smiled. "You're really something..." he whispered while he took my blond pigtail in his hand.

My face became beet red and my heart pounded quickly. It was as if the world had just stopped.

"Dragneel!"

I was quickly snapped back to reality.

"Dragneel! We have a faculty meeting today!" yelled the art teacher.

"I know!"

He sighed loudly before turning to face me.

He seems stressed...I hope he's okay...

"Sensei...are you okay...?"

His stressed expression slowly turned into a smile as he looked me in the eye. "Yeah, I'm okay. Seeing you is enough to make me okay."

My heart began to thump madly within my chest at his words.

Sensei...please stop playing with my heart...

As I stood there in a trans, he waved at me and gave me a playful wink before walking away. "Nice seeing you, Lucy-san."

Lucy, say something!

"Sensei I-!" before I could even finish, he was gone.
