"See, he ain't that bad..." Levy says as the other two girls hum
"He looks genuine, lu...you should go with it"
"I am...that's why I'm diriving her to the date tomorrow" Lucy says looking away from the couple at the far end of the cafeteria
"ah right, what happened after your drunk battle?"
"Kinana gave us an earful mostly to cotton candy because he was supposed to be a responsible adult shit...etcetera etcetera"
"That cotton candy?" Erza nods her head to the left
And there he was, the annoying senior standing beside juvia and gray making them laugh out loud
"They don't match at all, how did they become friends?"
"opposites attract, the Cold Ice Prince and the Hot Fire Prince? Juvia could get us details once they become official"
"I'm not going to breathe the same air as that guy...I can't stand him" Lucy says wide eyes and creased brows
"Try getting used to it, we know your first impression on him was bad but maybe he could...change...that...if...Lu watch out!" Levy says trying to pushing the girl away but Lucy was drenched in orange juice
"what the fuck is wrong with you?" Levy says as erza helps Lucy
"because I don't like her" the guy who was holding an empty white cup says
Erza looks at the guy with tight lips, slamming her fist on the table "Because of douchebags like you" she shoves the guys away
"The Cafeteria is never peaceful" she stands tall before him, the boys laugh in disbelief loud and noisy
Juvia and Gray make their way towards the girls, the latter mmediately helping levy to take care of lucy as they walk away from the scene giving gray a nod
Lucy turns back to see the guy who poured the orange juice getting punched by Erza while gray holds her back in shock with a smile
They covered the girl as much as possible but the washrooms were too far away and the attention was too much, maybe there were few photos clicked too
"wasn't he...the guy you reject at the freshmen night?"
"Yeah, he must've been hurt to the core"
"Science have so much pride" Levy says with a pout
"Hey, hey...no dissing your own major" Lucy says laughing
the trio were stopped, the hurdle not moving away blocking their path with arms open wide
"I don't have time to fight with you, move" Lucy says
"Me too, Its not always about that!" Natsu says taking off his green jersey "wear that"
"No thank you, I don't want to owe you anything"
He tsks, pulling her by the arm to put the jersey around her "Listen when you are told, sometimes it's for your own good"
"I'll use it until it tears" Lucy smiles dropping it instantly pushing him away to walk
"Thank you for the concern" Juvia says catching up to the blonde
Natsu turns around to see Levy with a brow raised and hands folded, foot tapping
"What?" He asks a little scare at the petite
"You...are a good match for our princess" levy says switching to a happy smile giving him a thumbsup
"ohkay?"
"I'm on your side no matter what happens, okay?"
"okay" he answers nodding unsure so what she meant
...
"Will you stay or go home?"
"My parents house is close but If you want me to stay...I have my books ready"
"Park you car far away!" Juvia says, giving her a flying kiss as she hops off the car
Lucy giggles, driving into a nearby mall with an underground parking.
She grabs her bag, books, shades and adjusts her heels walking out of the place to find a cafe or shop to read but all of them were close to the date spot
Having no other choice, lucy steps into a bakery opposite to the diner going upstairs to a corner spot
she order herself coffee, relaxing into the warmth of the sun and the cold interior and she wished a million stars to let it be like this until she gets a signal from juvia
Steeping into the same cafe were a pair of white dunks, hands stuffed into his sweats as the white shirt hung loose
"8 shot Venti Americano please" he says as the worker double checks what he said
He holds the coffee, walking upstairs lazily scratching his bed hair and taking big gulps of his drink searching for an empty seat
He scoffs, a smirk crawling on his face looking at the blonde in the sun shinning like a goddess
"What's this? I'll start believing fate now..." he mumbles
