Chapter 25: Is she ignoring me?


It was now the afternoon and Lucy was in her calculus class with the rest of her homeroom classmates. They were currently doing independent work, and there was about 15 minutes left until the next class, which was gym.

Natsu was just sitting at his desk starring at the wall.


Natsu's prov:

Hmmmm, this is so boring! I hate calculus, why are we required to do this?

I just want it to be 5th period already. I'm so ready for gym class. I looked around the classroom to see if the rest of the class was doing the silly worksheet that the teacher had given out.

I saw that Lucy was doing it, it seemed as if she was really preoccupied with it. How many more minutes are there left of this dumb class? I look at the clock and saw that we had 10 minutes left.

Now that I think about it, Lucy was acting a bit unusual today. Well she started to act weird as soon as we got to school. Was my confession too much for her?

AHHHHHH this is killing me. I'm kinda scared to hear her answer.

Maybe she is just thinking about it. I mean it has only been two days since I told her so it does make sense that she needs a few days to think about. I look to my right and see that Loki was taking a nap, and to my left, Gray was doodling on this paper.

I feel like I should ask for some advice about this topic…but I know that none of them will give me any good advice.

Gray might give some advice, but it might not be good since he is inexperienced in the world of dating like me.

Loki is such a flirt that he will tell me to keep asking her out until she agrees to go out with me, which seems like harassment.

Gajeel will just laugh about it and say nothing because he too knows nothing about girls.

Sting will also laugh and tease me about it, and Rouge…..what would Rouge say?

I think that Rouge give some very weird and bizarre advice, which is not what I need. All of the bros are hopeless when comes to serious topics.

Think Natsu Think!

Is there anyone you can talk to about such a personal topic and to be honest, embarrassing matter….and then it hit me.

ZEREF.

I mean I can ask Zeref, he is a really good listener, and lucky for me he actually has a girlfriend so he knows things about crushes and dating stuff. But how should I ask him?

I mean I don't think that I can just come home from school and be like,

"Hey Zeref! Let's talk about girls and dating, because I'm completely clueless about these kinds of things and need help"

….no that makes me seem like I'm and idiot whos desperate.

Just then I heard the bell ring, and everyone started to pack up their bags. Oh! Class is over finally.

It's time for gym!

"Are you ready for gym?" Asked Gary.

"Of course, I don't think I was going to be able to last another 5 minutes in this boring class" I said.

Gray laughed, "Me too" He said.

We got our bags and left the classroom

I think I'll talk to Zeref about it either tonight, or later this week…


Normal prov….

It was the 5th period of the school day, and everyone was sitting in the gym all changed and ready for class.

" I wonder what we will be doing today" Said Levy as she was fixing her headband. Lucy thought for a moment.

"I think that coach Pantherlily will just make us play dodge ball again" Said Lucy.

Levy laughed. "Yeah, that does seem like his favourite game, but I'm wondering when we will start an actually sports unit" Said Levy.

Right after Levy spoke, there was a loud whistle and all eyes shifted to look in direction of the sound. There stood a tall man with tan skin and was VERY toned.

"Speak of the devil" Said Levy.

"Alright listen up!" Said coach Pantherlily.

"Today we are going to start our second unit of the year" he said.

Everyone waited in anticipation. "Staring today we will spend the next three weeks on basketball" Said Coach. Most of the girls were not happy, but many of the boys cheered.

"Oh no, I am not a fan of basketball, besides I a horrible at it!" Said Lucy.

"I'm with you on that Lucy, I also don't like and besides I'm too short to play" Said Levy as she laughed.

It was true though, Levy is quite short, Lucy is a good amount taller than her. "Please refrain from talking until I have finished explain what we will do today" Said Coach Pantherlily as he looked in Lucy's and Levy's direction.

They both stopped talking at looked at him. He continued to talk.

"Alright so I will divide you into two teams and you are going to play a simple game of basketball" Said Coach.

Some of the girls were not happy about this.

"I'm a doing this so I can asses your skills, and so I know what needs to be worked on, or else you wont get a good grade in this unit" Said Coach Pantherlily.

The class followed along and they were split into two teams and began playing. Lucy was sitting on the bench as she was labelled as the back up player. She observed the rest of the class as they played.

She could see, that Levy was having a bit of trouble since she was assigned to block players from scoring. Since Levy was short, she was not doing very well.

"I feel like coach put her in that position on purpose" Thought Lucy.

Suddenly, she sees a hint of pink flash by.

It was Natsu, he was currently dribbling the ball towards the basket. He ran quickly and was light on his feet, and quickly jumped up and shot into the basket.

There was cheering from Natsu's team, while Lucy's team was not amused.

"We're not giving up!" Yelled Gajeel.

They continued to play on and on, until Coach Pantherlily blew his whistle to signify the end of the period. Levy slowly walked over to Lucy after.

"I'm so tired" Said Levy as she sat down.

"You did great Levy!" Said Lucy.

"Haha I wish, my height really puts me at a disadvantage, and I am horrible at basketball" Said Levy.

They both laughed. "Yeah me too, I'm bad at it" Said Lucy. After that they both got up and went to go get changed.

Before they knew it their last period class had finished and school was now over.

Lucy was currently at her locker putting away some things. She was thinking back to gym class and that moment where she saw Natsu dash by and shoot into the basket.

"He looked kinda cool back then" she thought.

"wait what am I thinking?" She thought after. "Ohhhh man, every time I think about Natsu I get this uneasy feeling in my stomach" She thought.

She finished putting away her things and closes her locker, and just then Levy walks up.

"Hey Lucy, you ready?" Asked Levy.

"Yup all done" Replied Lucy.

"Great! Let's go, the others are waiting for us at the front gates" Said Levy.

Lucy nodded and they started to make their way. Once outside they quickly met up with the rest of the girls.

"Took you two long enough" Said Lisanna with a laugh.

"Yeah sorry about that I was putting some things away" Explained Lucy.

Lisanna shook her head. "No, its ok, don't worry about it I was just trying to be sarcastic" She said. Lucy laughed and they started to walk.

"So ladies, which café shall we go to?" Asked Ezra.

They were silent. "How about Starbucks?" said Mira. "

I'm fine with that, what about you guys?" Said Lisanna.

The rest of the girls nodded their heads in agreement.

"Alright, then I know one that is not too far from here" Said Mira.

They followed Mira and engaged in conversation as they walked. Lucy was a bit lost in her thoughts. "Hmmm I think that after what happened today, it means that I like Natsu…" She thought.

"It's just kinda hard to admit this to myself….I mean its my first crush technically" She thought.

"I think I'll have to talk to Levy about sometime soon, it seemed liked she noticed today…when would be appropriate?" She thought.

Before she knew it they had arrived at Starbucks and entered.

Once inside the café the were greeted with a surprise...

"Wait what are you guys doing here?" Said Lisanna as Lucy turned her attention to the group of people Lisanna was talking to.

It was Natsu and his friends.

"Loki dragged us here because he said he wanted to try the new drink on the menu" Explained Sting.

Lucy looked away when she saw Natsu.

"This is bad! What do it do?" She thought.
