A/N: Omg I had this done and I forgot to publish it, I'm so sorry.
A slow day has arrived as I take a seat in my math class. I watch as people scramble to their seats as the bell rings loudly throughout the school. Loke, I mean Mr. Loke walks in and sets his teaching materials down before trying to give us a lesson on how to be successful in life which is a bunch of bullcrap coming out of his mouth. After 10 minutes of listening to utter crap, he starts the lesson on more useless information. Half of the things we learn in school are not going to help in the slightest. Maybe if they teach us how to pay our bills or how to conserve money or something like that would be helpful to allow us to go into the world with a sense of what we're doing. But instead, we are given stupid things that will give a stroke or an aneurysm.
And I'm about to have an aneurysm if I have to learn one more thing about triangles, squiggly lines, or odd shapes. I am starting to regret not taking statistics for math. As I take notes on the things that pop up on the board, I zone out into my little world as the time passes by. But as zoning out was nice and all, it was too short as I was called on. I mentally groaned and got up to solve the equation. After I sat back down, a few minutes passed and the bell rang for the next period.
A few periods passed and I decided to go to the computer lab real quickly before going to lunch. I log in and check my email, desperately searching for one email. The college email. The school year is almost over and we already sent letters to the colleges we wanted to go to. Today was the day that anyone who was trying to attend Soyouni was going to get an email. It was one of the most prestigious colleges out there and I was praying I was going to get in it. Of course, it cost a lot for the intuition but it was worth it and I wouldn't miss the opportunity to jump on it. I scroll only to see nothing. I refresh the page to see nothing again. Such a disappointment. I log off and shut the computer.
Well, that was a waste of time. I head to the cafeteria to see Levy saved a spot for me. I went to grab my food when someone ran into me. And to the unexpected, they spill their food onto me. Wow, very cliche. My shirt was now a canvas as the items slipped off me. I look up to see Natsu. He looks back at me, his eyes widen for a bit before going back to his usually stoic face. He just looks away before heading back into the line. No apology, just perfect.
"Lucy are you okay?" Gray who was behind Natsu says. "Yeah never better," I say with sarcasm rolling off my tongue.
"I'm so sorry." He says as he places his tray of food on one of the near tables. Did I mention that all eyes were on me? Yeah that, I wanted to disappear.
"Why are you apologizing, it's not like you're the one who made a whole artwork on my uniform." I quickly walk out of the cafeteria to change my clothes. As I make my way to the locker room, a certain someone decides to follow me.
"I'll be right back." Natsu says as he gets up.
"Where are you going?" Gray asks as he stuffs his mouth with food.
"Bathroom." Gray just stares at him
"Where is he really going?" Gajeel asks.
"Probably to his wife." Gray jokes as a little smirk creeps onto his face.
Natsu walks out of the cafeteria, the door closing behind him. He stops and starts to ruffle his hair. "Shit." He starts to make his way to the locker rooms at a quick pace.
I went into the lockers to see that my gym clothes were missing. 'What now…' I look around to see them in the trash.
"Such kids…" I took them out only to see that they were wet. I immediately let them go making a splat on the ground. "Seriously."
I go to the supply closet to get a bag. I open it and grab the soaking clothes with the bag, tying it. Well changing is out of the question. Maybe I should ask Levy or Erza if I can borrow theirs. I reach into my pocket for my phone only to find emptiness.
"Just great. This day is becoming better and better…" To be honest, I'm getting fed up. I'm too tired to be dealing with these childish games these girls are playing.
I walk out with the bag heading to my lockers to drop this off and just end the day with the wonderful artwork someone graced me with. I entered the building to see Natsu my way. 'Just great, more work to deal with.'
I just keep walking as if he wasn't there. But as nothing was going as expected, he goes in front of me, stopping me in my place. A heavy sigh leaves my mouth.
"What do you want?" I ask annoyed.
"Why are you holding a bag? And uh dressed like that?" He awkwardly points to my stained clothing.
"Oh you know, I wanted to stick out from the rest of these boring people and did some painting." I glare at him. He just looks at me, his face showing a glint of guilt. I roll my eyes and start to leave when out of nowhere I was pulled back.
"Wait," Natsu says as he pulls me back to the locker room.
"What? Let go of me!" I struggled to get out of his grip, but to no avail, I couldn't get free.
I followed him to the locker room as I couldn't do anything else. We made it to the boys' side of the locker room when I started to panic, tugging on my arm which was in his grasp, and trying to escape him. Why? Because he dragged me into it. I was not trying to enter where these boys do stupid things that come to their mind. He keeps pulling me along, deeper into the locker room when he stops in front I assume is his locker. He looks at me and then to his locker. 'What the hell is he doing?'
He torn between letting me go as I'll probably run off or keep holding me against my will as I feel uncomfortable. He takes the first option.
"Stay here." He slowly lets go as I nod my head.
He opens his locker, the door swings in front me, blocking my view. I really could just jet out of here while he distracted. But I was kind of curious. As the saying goes curiosity killed the cat, but as A. Edinborough said, "if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly." I stand there watching Natsu's body move forward into the locker, making it shake a little. 'What in the world is he doing? Does he have some type of portal or something?'
He takes some steps back before locking his locker. He wipes his forehead before letting out a sigh.
"Why am I even here?" He looks like he wrestled with a bull or something. He turns to me, extending something towards me. I look down to see his pair of gym clothing.
"Here, you can wear this." He turns his head to the side.
"Why? I'm not wearing your stinky clothes." I take a step back, turning away from him.
"They do not stink. I was just trying to be helpful and apologize for bumping into you. Jeez this is the treatment I get when I try to be nice." He withdraws his arm and turns to open his locker to place the clothes back in. I, realizing that I was going to look like a clown, I snatched the clothes out of his grasp.
"I thought you didn't want to wear my stinky clothes?" He gives me a little smirk.
"Shut up, I changed my mind." I say, a little dust of pink appearing on my cheeks in embarrassment.
"Oh?" He just smirks as he watches my reaction.
"Ugh stop it. Go back to insulting me. This is too weird." Before I get more embarrassed, I quickly move to the exit. I look back to see him staring at his locker.
"Um, thanks and apology accepted." I quickly say, darting back to the girls' locker room. I quickly change, rushing to get to my locker and drop these items off.
When I finished the task, I decided to just hang around the school yard before the bell rings for class. I noticed how big his clothing was on me. Baggy and comfortable, umm what? Forget I said that. I sit on a bench next to a tree. I just watch as the clouds go by as the wind gently brushes by. I felt myself slowly snuggling up into his clothes. A whiff of Natsu's scent enters my senses. I guess it's not that bad as I expected. It's much more relaxing and gives off a warm feeling. Oh god. Forget what I said again. This didn't happen. Oh my god, what is happening to me?
"Ughh, stupid." I groan, tucking my knees in, hiding my face.
