I was not quite thrilled when father announced that we were shifting to Magnolia, but Ignia was excited and kept on inquiring, how, when, why, where type of questions to dad, but I had no interest so I just made my way to my room thinking it over or basically just digesting the data.
On the day of admission or should I say the day I got to know that I was already admitted into Fairytail high, I was surprised with a smug face, cuz at this point I didn't care anymore, I just wanted to get done with the schooling and work with my pyromaniac stuff.
But our joining the school was not at a good timing, you know cuz we joined after the summer holidays, and now I would have to enquire what was going on in my class, Ignia and I were on a deal to not bother each other's schooling life unless the teachers ask for it; so it was fine.
The first day was not so amazing, I hated doing the intros, "Hi! I am Natsu Dragneel, pleased to meet you all." The same sentence but not pleased at all, yep! call me shy or introverted I don't mind.
I was sitting beside a guy named Jackel, we kinda bonded, and he made me acquaintance with Gray, Loki, Jellal and Hibiki too, we didn't talk much though. Two days in school and everything was fine, but the third day changed everything in my life forever.
That day I entered class like usual but there was this girl sitting on the third desk, which has been empty since the last two days and she was talking to Levy our class rep, she had such silky blond hairs and from the point where I stood I could see a golden glimmer in her eyes, I was hypnotised by them, then Jackel bumped into me and I had to talk with him.
It was the time of attendance when I got to know a bit more about her, her name was Lucy Heartfilia and she had been sick since last four days hence couldn't make it to the school, how lovely is her voice that is what was going on in my mind till I heard my name being called out, Lucy looked surprised, maybe she didn't yet realise that there was a new species in her class, I put my hand up to answer as "present Mam" but till then I didn't know that it would be my first eye contact with her which would be electrifying, for a moment my mind got blanked as I was staring at her now evident chocolate brown eyes, I could see a slight blush creeping on her cheeks while her eyes shifted from me to Levy to the teacher in quick succession.
Days were passing, yet I couldn't talk to her, for the first time in my life I hated the fact that I was an introvert and couldn't approach her directly, what was I supposed to say? Intros again? (sigh) She always studies, her bench-mate Canna rarely comes to school so she kinda sits alone, should I just go and casually sit beside her? Forget it I am being stupid, maybe if I would concentrate more on my studies, I would have at least something common on which basis I could approach her, as I was looking at my book, I could feel her approving glaze from the corner of my eye.
That day we were reading the play 'The Useless Car' and somehow, I was chosen to read the parts of the main lead Jack while Lissana was selected to read the parts of my wife in the play; Lily, Ah! I so badly wanted Lucy to read that part, at least with this excuse I would be talking to her directly that too as her husband, oh my! I think I am blushing and I can see Jackel smirking, oh man! I am in trouble.
After the period was over, I was questioned regarding it, I expected that coming but what I didn't expect was Jackel assuming that I blushed because of Lissana, how on holy earth is that even possible assumption? I was not even looking at her in the entire play, my entire focus was Lucy and here I am being questioned about Lissana, I don't even know how to explain that to this dummy so I just shrugged it off.
I have noticed that Lucy goes home along with her sister through the park in front of the school, so that day I just blurted it out in my gang that we should take the park route rather than the one we usually take, reason being that we would get more time together and well; school was over by that time anyways.
Wow, I am amazed that these guys bought my lie and we are taking the park route today, I cannot help; my eyes keep rolling towards Lucy's direction, I don't think my friends have noticed yet, but her sister has, she keeps looking back at me and smiled subtly, Lucy looks at me too but I think she hasn't noticed her sister yet.
We have been taking the park route daily now, looking at Lucy for a while longer is my guilty pleasure, but today her sister's hawk eyes are on me, they are not even wavering, it's making me really nervous and after a while I find Lucy and her talking and I saw her blush so hard, I didn't know I could fall for her any deeper, but I think if it's for her there is no end to the depth I can fall into.
The inter basketball tournament has come up and my gang had persuaded me to sign up and unluckily enough I got selected now I have to be away from Lucy for so many days, maybe she thinks that too cuz today we had our longest eye-contact ever.
I was so surprised when I saw her sister in our bus, she was representing our school for under 14 girls, it would have been better if it had been Lucy though, she stared at me during our stay there, but all I felt was nervousness around her, she wished me luck for the match, to do the same I felt tongue-tied but somehow managed a "Good luck".
Going back to school was not so exciting as we had lost our match but Lucy's sister's team did win, but my prime motive now was to have a clear look at Lucy, she looked the same, refreshing and relaxing at the same time. Finally, I am back.
Our school was going to waterpark as a class trip and I could already see that Lucy was very much hyped for it and on the day of the trip, omg I can't explain how gorgeous she looked, I couldn't even take my eyes off her, it was not just me my whole gang was the same, saying that they never thought that 'Lucy could be so sexy', really could I hit these jerks on the head now.
Our elbows brushed while passing by and I swear I felt the electricity pass through me, I was lost in those thoughts when I bumped into Jenny, the so-called queen bee of our batch and she started screaming on me that I bumped on her knowingly, Oh please! Who wants to bump with you? Oops I thought that out loud and I could see Lucy giggling, sometimes I feel that she knows, and sometimes I feel like she is so nice with everyone why would I even matter.
Idk what happened that day, why were most of my batchmates on the run while the principal was doing his rounds and ironically we were all in the same hiding place as if waiting to be get caught, that's when I saw, Lucy and Max together, her hands were on his shoulder and she was looking across more like she was side hugging him.
I was so pissed off that I went ahead and hit him across the head saying that his face was pissing me off and literally it was not even a joke.
Valantine's day is here, and Lucy is giving chocolates to everyone, like everyone excluding me and she is smiling that lovely smile everytime she hands it to someone, Am I not on the list? She doesn't see me at all? Not even as a friend? Does she hate me?
"Stop staring at her, you might scare her away." Jackel whispered that in my ear, I blushed so hard that I am certain Lucy noticed, I want to talk to her, take a chocolate from her, ask her on a date? If this keeps going we would pass before I got my chance, I was wondering all this when Lissana approached me and gave me a chocolate, I accepted absent-mindly.
Later did I realise that accepting the chocolate was a bad idea cuz everyone was shipping us together and Lissana declining it with a huge blush didn't make things any better, our eye contacts were getting lesser, I didn't know what to do.
I couldn't figure it all out yet, when somehow Ignia found out about Lissana thing going on in my class and told dad about it, for which I got an earful about how to be focused on our studies and not let the temporary distraction distract us.
Soon enough I heard a rumour that Lucy liked somebody too, and he was not from our school, I tried very hard to bay my feelings, ignoring her as much as I could and soothing myself by telling that we were going to pass soon enough.
After school we got shifted again, I somehow lost contact with my Fairytail high friends and Lucy, I don't know what happened after that, does Lucy sometimes think about me? Does she had a tinny-tiny interest in me? Or was everything my imagination? Did she love me?
A/N- Finally! I have completed it from Natsu's pov yet again on my sister's birthday. Happy Birthday Di 3 I realised that my writing style has changed a bit but either ways I hope that you did enjoy reading it.
I would like if you can comment on how it was. Have an amazing day ahead.
