"This isn't what I wanted"
They were standing before a blue print *map*, behind which the campus was clearly visible
"You didn't mention how, now see... this is this and that is that" Lucy points both the words and place
"Cheater..." he mumbles but still listens to the girl who kept talking for he got more interested in the past days
Stop you stupid heart, she might be taken. We can't have a steal-your-girl title
"OK OK, leave this. I'm hungry take me to the cafeteria" he hits her with his hips lightly towards the school
"Go by yourself-"
"What's this? Why do I feel so weak..? I see darkness..." his body hunched forward leaning on her shoulder very carefully
"Ha..." she takes deep breaths, walking slowly. He will definitely make a scene which is something she wants to avoid
He hides his smile when her hands swinging to his back, a very light touch
Just as they enter thought the doors, he was detached from lucy so fast, she had her hands catching air
"Naaatsu" rang the voice of Lisanna as she crossed her arms over his shoulder "What happened? Are you okay?"
Lucy tsks, brushing down the disheveled hair from the push and pulls of crowding, she looks at him who was already looking at her
Shaking her head, she goes further inside, back to her little calm group who were waiting with eyes full of mischief
"Join us for lunch?" She says again, not giving a chance to let him answer as they drag him away
He didn't hate it nor dislike being the centre but after the face Lucy gave him
This isn't right......
"I'm not really hungry girls, you guys enjoy" he says freeing himself from the crowd
"Then we can just talk and know each other more"
"Uhh...I hav-"
"He has plans with us" comes a familiar voice
Mavis thank you, but why him out of all!?
.
At the corner of the cafeteria was a table filled with packets of milk, cooling their mouth from the spicy food they ate
"It wasn't spicy at all" Lucy says still munching on the rice cakes
"Yeah, it wasn't you freak" Sting says grabbing the 4th packet
"You won't and will never find a guy who would love this much spicy" levy says, taking big bites of cream bread
While they keep see-soo-ing, chan stays silent thinking what made her eat spicy all of a sudden
Lucy Heartfilia eats spicy food if she is extremely happy, extremely sad or extremely irked. So...
"Who triggered you?" He blurts out but kept weight on one person
"No one, I wanted to eat spicy"
"You can't lie to me heartfilia" chan points his chopsticks "who was it?"
Lucy finishes her bowl, opening her mouth to speak but the noise increases making them look at the bundle of girls
Lucy scoffs, looking back at chan "I'm surrounded by too much sweetness. So I wanted to fire it down "
"Then how about you share?" The familiar voice pipes in standing next to her
The table looks up at the gang and the noise surrounding them now louder
The girls were clear as water, showing their Jealously as the boys choose a table that wasn't theirs
"only if those girls leave" levy says sipping on the milk
Lucy snaps at levy "why do you want them here?"
"There is no other place empty in the cafe"
"And we are sitting in place that can fit more people" Sting adds
"Why are you agreeing?" Chan raised a brow
The 3 boys just sat down not getting any answer getting out of them, one next to Lucy and the 2 next to levy and Sting
"We are very friendly and hate attention" gray starts "expect that hag" he points to natsu
"I think someone needs a middle school flashback"
"You were friends from middle school?" Levy asks
"Somehow, it just happened" gray says opening the popsicle he held
"That like chan and Lucy then! They are same too"
"I'm gray and this is loke"
"You guys joined today?"
"Not exactly, we kept skipping school though we enrolled long back"
"What made you come back?"
"We are baby sitting someone" gray says looking beside Lucy
She laughs silently, cheeks lifted up closing her eyes, natsu notices
"Nice to meet you" levy says in return "I'm levy, Sting, chan and-"
"Lucy Heartfilia" loke says "saw you at the garage with that ass-face working" he extends his hand
"O-oh..." Lucy holds it to shake but loke turns it over, placing a quick kiss
Shocked and confused as she was, her heart however fluttered at the sudden gesture painting her cheeks pink
"Princess, I would lov-"
"Cut that nonsense already" gray swats his hands away "eat your food" he shakes his head slightly towards someone
Loke leave her hand, which she retrieves slowly as he looks next to her
Natsu was leaning back in his seat, eyerbow lifting up and tongue poking his inner cheek eyes holding back something loke fears
And somehow, they chatted more; having same wavelengths and matching tastes. Sting got overly excited over them knowing about the races, which makes the whole table burst into laughs
"Your done eating?" Natsu taps Lucy's shoulder
"Yeah"
"Come with me" he says coldly, walking away
Lucy sits still, again he was cold and serious. So out of character
"You should go and I promise he won't hurt you"
"Yeah, he has patience thin as a thread"
"Why would she go when you describe his mood like that?" Chan slams his hand on the table
"Bro why are you so worked up? They are partners for a project"
"They need to have...chemistry? Yeah that...for a better result!" Loke says making levy laugh
"Lucy wait!" Chan says but she was already halfway catching upto the male
She followed his hair, out of the cafeteria, the building across the soccer field and into the basketball court
Why, why are my feet...where am I going?
"Natsu...stop how-" she says as she pushes the door open
He pulls to the side, pinning her to the wall next to the door, pushing her more into it with his body
How much he wanted to reject the idea of doing this, his anger and Jealously got the best of it
"You...how can you..." he breaths heavily
Seeing her trimmed brows, the pink lips and the outfits she choose was enough to get him hard
"Me what?" Lucy stares back him, mirroring his gaze, their space was so close.
So dangerously close
"Don't talk to those idiots with that face...be that bratty and feisty one. Those smiley blushing self is getting on my nerves"
"What's your problem! You don't stay the same always so don't tell me how I should act"
Lucy uses her strength that was still in her control to push away the guy
"Lucy..." he calls to the girl walking away
