p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy sat in silence in kitchen while Natsu was busy talking with Kate on the phone. A numerous thoughts were running through her. Thoughts she didn't want to have but they came and now she had to take some time and get them sorted. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"First, a brother? Why would this Steiner man come here and try to take her so obviously and now his brother wants him out of prison and is threatening her? Something felt iffy about that but Lucy couldn't quite grasp it. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Second, if this man was after her as well, he wouldn't stop until his demands were matched and that meant letting his brother out of prison but that was out of question since he would just try and take her again then. An endless circle where Lucy saw no way out. She groaned in annoyance a bit louder than she expected catching the attention of Natsu. He looked around the corner of the living room with questioning eyes, still having his phone at his ear. Lucy just shook her head and waved at him mentioning him to go on with his call. He did. Lucy wasn't surprised, he as well was pretty shocked yesterday when this 'brother' called and demanded something like that. Now he had to make a plan with Kate how to go on for now. But he didn't want to go to the office today and leave her alone again. A long sigh. Lucy looked out of the window and got lost in thought again. Where would she go this time? Would she stay here with Natsu? Or would Kate move in completely and postion more guards here? Would she ever be able to live a complete normal life with Natsu? /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Probably not. Luckily the neighborhood Lucy chose, wasn't that inhabited so not many people noticed what happened when this Steiner came to their house and the few people who passed by that morning were 'silenced' by the FBI. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"This was all to much for her, again. She was so mad at herself for thinking like that again, and mad at these brothers for destroying their life like that. Slowly Lucy really believed that maybe they could start here anew, Natsu getting a job, she almost believed that maybe he could officially work for Kate, and her attending school till the end. School. /spanemspan class="tm6"Shit, I totally forgot./span/emspan class="tm5" Lucy was fast on her feet looking at the clock. It was half past 7 in the morning, half an hour. Yeah she could make it. She stumbled off her chair almost kicking it over, again Natsu looked around the corner only to find an empty kitchen. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Kate I'll call you back again later, looks like Lucy is up to something.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Okay. I'll think about it a bit more.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He hung up and followed Lucy upstairs. He found her in the bedroom. She was in a hurry, for what he had no idea. She took a bag and stuffed some books inside. Natsu couldn't wait and figure it out on his own. He walked over to her. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Lucy, what are you doing?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Ah, I forgot my pencil case, doesn't matter I just need a pen.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She searched desperatley for one single pen, she was totally restless, searching like a maniac under the bed and in every possible drawer. Natsu pulled at her arm so she would look at him./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''What do you need a pen for?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She looked at the clock again, stress slowly building up more./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Natsu, today is my first day at the new school I have to make it in time! I totally forgot about it...''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Yeah there she wasn't the only one./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"But wait. Why would she want to go to school with all that happened? Was she in one of her strange phases again. Natsu shook his head. Her period was over so normally she wouldn't act like that now. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She passed him and went down to the kitchen again. It couldn't be possible that there was not a single pen in this house!/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Natsu followed her yet again. Frustrated because of her unsuccessful search Lucy dropped her bag on the floor and sat down on the chair again. She let her head fall on the table with a loud thud and groaned. She probaly didn't think it would hurt that much. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Natsu...''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Said boy came over and sat down on the other chair. Her voice souned like that of a little child asking her parents if she turned crazy./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Hm''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''You think I shouldn't go, right?''br /Natsu took a deep breath and took her hand. She didn't move the slightest bit but when his hand wrapped around hers she also gripped his hand. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Natsu couldn't really answer. Didn't he want her to go? Or did he want her to to have at least a bit normality for now. It was risky for sure. But what good would it do for her to be inside the house the whole time waiting for something to happen. Maybe she was even more safe in school with a lot of ther people. She sighed deeply. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I wanted to get my graduation and live here with you and go to work after it and prepare dinner for you when you come home from work and...''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Lucy.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"And now she turned her head into his direction. To her surprise he also rested his head on the table and looked at her. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''No one said that we couldn't do all that.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''But we both know that it's impossible.''br /''Not now at least.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She pouted. Natsu lifted his other hand and placed a pen on the table. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''But for today you should hurry or you gonna be late on your first day.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Immediatly she was on her feet again and almost jumped on Natsu, he had to push both his legs into the ground so they wouldn't fall over altogther with the chair. She kissed the top of his head, something normally only he does to show her his affection. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''You're the best Natsu.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her as well. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I'll get the keys, wait at the car.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"With another nod and sparkling eyes she ran out of the house. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"-o.O.o-/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"They were in front of the school when the first bell rang. Lucy leaned over and kissed Natsu fast./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I'll call you when I'm free. Don't forget to pick me up!''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She said playfully. He only smiled when she left the car. Lucy turned around one more time and waved at him./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She now turned around and looked at the huge school building. It was way bigger than the school back in Oakland. The girl took a deep breath as to calm herself and enetered the building. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She followed the signages to the principal office. In front of the office stood a young man in suit his phone in his hand, his one foot always tapping on the ground as if he was waiting for something. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Or someone. The moment he saw Lucy he came rushing over. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Ms. are you so late. I thought we agreed that you come half an hour earlier so we could discuss everything important.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy sweat dropped and tried to laugh it off. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I am really sorry. My car broke down this morning so I had to call my boyfriend and he had to come from work first.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Normally she was bad at lying but this time a bit of truth was in there. The truth that her boyfriend brought her here. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The man seemed to believe her and since it was an acceptable excuse he just grunted a 'follow me then' and took off. Lucy did as she was told and follow him./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Ah Ms. Heartfilia. How pleasing that you made it here on the first day. The last time we talked you said you weren't sure if you could attend on the first day.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The principal - Mr. Hedoga, at least that was written on the name tag on his desk - seemed to be pretty friendly. He shook Lucy's hand and mentioned her to sit down. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He than looked at his secretary ''Thanks Collin, you can go back now.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Collin only nodded and left the office. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Mr. Hedoga smiled warmly at Lucy. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I'm sorry I hope he wasn't too harsh with you. Collin is always very... punctual.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy smiled at that. She kinda guessed that already. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''So did you find the school without problems?''br /''Yes, sir, there were no problems at all, I think there is even a bus that's driving here close to my home.''br /''Ah yes that's perfect.''br /He opened a few drawers until he finally took one sheet of paper out of one. He handed it to Lucy./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''This is your schedule. There are always the subjects along with the teacher's name and the room you have to go.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He mentioned to the door and Collin came back in. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Collin will show you the way to your first class now.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy smiled at Mr. Hedoga and stood up./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Thank you.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Collin was a fast walker. Lucy had trouble keeping up with him. The hallways were quiet since the first class already started. In front of a door he came to a halt. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''This is your first class. Your teacher is called Mr. Puillo. He is your physics teacher.''br /Lucy only nodded when Collin already opened the door. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"They entered. Everyone was watching them. Lucy got nervous now, she hated it when everyone looked at her. She started to fumble with the hem of her shirt. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Collin was whispering something to the teacher and then left the room, closing the door behind him. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The teacher waved at Lucy, mentioning her to come over to him what she did. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''So guys this is our new transfer student. She moved here over the break and is going to finish Highschool here. Her name is Lucy Heartfilia. Lucy do you want to say something?''br /She looked at her teacher who showed her a warm smile. Then she looked back at the class, all eyes on her. Eyes filled with curiosity, boredom, tiredness and complete disinterest. First day after summer break I guess. Lucy smiled./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Hi, I am Lucy. I hope we'll get along.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Mr. Puillo smiled and showed her one table in the middle of the room./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''You can sit over there Lucy.''br /''Thank you.''br /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Fast, Lucy went over to her place, followed by all the eyes of the class. God, how she hated that. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The first lesson went by pretty fast. She didn't talk much with the people who sat next to her just a fast 'hey I am Mitchell, and this is Mary'. At least they offered her to show her the way to the /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"library since Lucy didn't have any books yet. As she entered she was met with complete silence. The library was huge. She went up to the information desk./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Hello?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She asked shyly. There was no answer. She decided to wait a bit. She didn't have to wait long. A loud crashing noise came from one of the shelves followed by the sound of a lot of book falling to the ground and a very loud and annoyed 'ouch'./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy fast rounded the corner and saw what happened. One of the helpers of the library fell down from the tiny step foot resulting in all the books she was trying to tidy up in the shelf falling down as well. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Are you okay?'' Lucy asked hesitantly./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The woman looked up. She seemed to be a bit older, maybe Natsu's age. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Oh my, how embarrassing.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She was stood up again and tried to brush the dust off her. Then she smiled at Lucy. Such a warm smile made Lucy feel all warm on the inside. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Would you mind helping me?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She had such a sweet and soft voice, Lucy couldn't do other than just nod. She collected all the books that were shattered around on the ground and handed them over to the woman who happily took them from her and put them into the shelf. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Ah thanks a lot. Now what can I help you with?''br /Lucy smiled and handed over the little paper from the principle she received together with her schedule. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I am new and I don't have any books. Today is my first day, I am Lucy.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Oh, a new student. That went unnoticed by me.'' She covered her mouth with the back of her hand to hide her little smile. And wow, she had a beautiful smile. Lucy never questioned her sexuality she knew all the better that she was attracked to boys and only boys. But this woman was just the definition of a true beauty. Her long black hair which seemed to shimmer a light blue, her black eyes that also had a depth in them you could get lost in, her beautiful smile she just showed her, or tried to hide. This was the first time except from her mother Lucy thought of a woman as /spanemspan class="tm6"truly /span/emspan class="tm5"beautiful. The woman seemed to notice the intend stare from Lucy and looked back into her eyes./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Is there something on my face?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy was taken back she didn't realize herself that she was indeed staring at the woman. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Oh no, I am sorry it is just that...''br /Before she finished that sentence she thought about it again. It would be strange to just say thta right?/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She was already turning red in the face her embarressment no longer a secret. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The woman chuckled softly./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I am so pretty that you don't know what to say?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"That took Lucy again by surprise. She was so pure and beautiful at first sight, Lucy didn't think that she was arrogant. She laughed yet again./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Haha don't be shy. Even the principal said that to me. 'Mr. Lockser you are just too pretty to be a teacher all the boys are only following you and not the lesson' that's why I ended up in here. In the library are not many people allowed and I am in control here. So no problems if you know what I mean.'' She winked at her and went back to the information desk. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy followed still amazed that even the principal thought like that. Now she felt bad that she thought this woman was arrogant. Being beautiful could also be a disadvantage./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The woman pulled a huge stack of books for different subjects out of a shelf and put it on the counter./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''These are all the books you need. You can lock some of them up in your locker or you can take them all home and only bring those you need for the day.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She smiled again./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Thank you.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy breathed out. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"When the last bell rang that day Lucy had trouble comprehending that the day was over already. It went by much faster than she expected. But it was amazing. She sat in almost every subject next to Mary or Mitchell, who both seemed to very kind. With everything that happened the day, Lucy never lost one thought on everything else and that was an amazingly normal feeling. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"When she walked over to the parking area where she wanted to call Natsu to pick her up she was surprised to already see him standing there, leaning against his car. The moment he spotted her he lifted his arm to greet her. Lucy also waved and walked over./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''How did you know that I was finished?''br /''Asked Kate how long school here normally runs.''br /He smiled and took her bag from her. He saw from the distance that it was full of books and that she also had to carry some in her arms because the bad was to small./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She appreciated it, it was really heavy./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''You hungry?'' /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Natsu asked when they left the school area. Lucy only nodded and took his hand./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''What do you wanna eat?''br /''Hmmm, you can choose this time.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Natsu looked over at her and smiled cheeky./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Sure.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"When they stopped at a red light he leaned over to her and pulled her in for a long deep kiss. She sighed contently when he pulled away. There was something in his eyes again. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I wanna eat pizza.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Something that simple?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy was a bit surprised to hear that. Normally he'd like to eat something fancy when they were eating out. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Yes, But I have a special wish for dessert.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''What would that be?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy laughed. Natsu wasn't the type to eat dessert especially not the cute and sweet stuff. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He looked at her again with those eyes. Lucy had a approximate idea where this was goind but she kinda liked that./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''You.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He breathed before turning back to the street since the red light turned gree. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Embarrassed Lucy turned away from him with a laugh./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''And then...''br /He paused, making Lucy turn back to him./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''And then?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''We need to talk.''/span/p

p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She now turned around and looked at the huge school building. It was way bigger than the school back in Oakland. The girl took a deep breath as to calm herself and enetered the building. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She followed the signages to the principal office. In front of the office stood a young man in suit his phone in his hand, his one foot always tapping on the ground as if he was waiting for something. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Or someone. The moment he saw Lucy he came rushing over. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Ms. are you so late. I thought we agreed that you come half an hour earlier so we could discuss everything important.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy sweat dropped and tried to laugh it off. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I am really sorry. My car broke down this morning so I had to call my boyfriend and he had to come from work first.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Normally she was bad at lying but this time a bit of truth was in there. The truth that her boyfriend brought her here. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The man seemed to believe her and since it was an acceptable excuse he just grunted a 'follow me then' and took off. Lucy did as she was told and follow him./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Ah Ms. Heartfilia. How pleasing that you made it here on the first day. The last time we talked you said you weren't sure if you could attend on the first day.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The principal - Mr. Hedoga, at least that was written on the name tag on his desk - seemed to be pretty friendly. He shook Lucy's hand and mentioned her to sit down. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He than looked at his secretary ''Thanks Collin, you can go back now.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Collin only nodded and left the office. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Mr. Hedoga smiled warmly at Lucy. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I'm sorry I hope he wasn't too harsh with you. Collin is always very... punctual.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy smiled at that. She kinda guessed that already. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''So did you find the school without problems?''br /''Yes, sir, there were no problems at all, I think there is even a bus that's driving here close to my home.''br /''Ah yes that's perfect.''br /He opened a few drawers until he finally took one sheet of paper out of one. He handed it to Lucy./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''This is your schedule. There are always the subjects along with the teacher's name and the room you have to go.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He mentioned to the door and Collin came back in. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Collin will show you the way to your first class now.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy smiled at Mr. Hedoga and stood up./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Thank you.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Collin was a fast walker. Lucy had trouble keeping up with him. The hallways were quiet since the first class already started. In front of a door he came to a halt. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''This is your first class. Your teacher is called Mr. Puillo. He is your physics teacher.''br /Lucy only nodded when Collin already opened the door. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"They entered. Everyone was watching them. Lucy got nervous now, she hated it when everyone looked at her. She started to fumble with the hem of her shirt. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Collin was whispering something to the teacher and then left the room, closing the door behind him. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The teacher waved at Lucy, mentioning her to come over to him what she did. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''So guys this is our new transfer student. She moved here over the break and is going to finish Highschool here. Her name is Lucy Heartfilia. Lucy do you want to say something?''br /She looked at her teacher who showed her a warm smile. Then she looked back at the class, all eyes on her. Eyes filled with curiosity, boredom, tiredness and complete disinterest. First day after summer break I guess. Lucy smiled./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Hi, I am Lucy. I hope we'll get along.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Mr. Puillo smiled and showed her one table in the middle of the room./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''You can sit over there Lucy.''br /''Thank you.''br /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Fast, Lucy went over to her place, followed by all the eyes of the class. God, how she hated that. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The first lesson went by pretty fast. She didn't talk much with the people who sat next to her just a fast 'hey I am Mitchell, and this is Mary'. At least they offered her to show her the way to the /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"library since Lucy didn't have any books yet. As she entered she was met with complete silence. The library was huge. She went up to the information desk./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Hello?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She asked shyly. There was no answer. She decided to wait a bit. She didn't have to wait long. A loud crashing noise came from one of the shelves followed by the sound of a lot of book falling to the ground and a very loud and annoyed 'ouch'./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy fast rounded the corner and saw what happened. One of the helpers of the library fell down from the tiny step foot resulting in all the books she was trying to tidy up in the shelf falling down as well. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Are you okay?'' Lucy asked hesitantly./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The woman looked up. She seemed to be a bit older, maybe Natsu's age. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Oh my, how embarrassing.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She was stood up again and tried to brush the dust off her. Then she smiled at Lucy. Such a warm smile made Lucy feel all warm on the inside. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Would you mind helping me?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She had such a sweet and soft voice, Lucy couldn't do other than just nod. She collected all the books that were shattered around on the ground and handed them over to the woman who happily took them from her and put them into the shelf. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Ah thanks a lot. Now what can I help you with?''br /Lucy smiled and handed over the little paper from the principle she received together with her schedule. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I am new and I don't have any books. Today is my first day, I am Lucy.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Oh, a new student. That went unnoticed by me.'' She covered her mouth with the back of her hand to hide her little smile. And wow, she had a beautiful smile. Lucy never questioned her sexuality she knew all the better that she was attracked to boys and only boys. But this woman was just the definition of a true beauty. Her long black hair which seemed to shimmer a light blue, her black eyes that also had a depth in them you could get lost in, her beautiful smile she just showed her, or tried to hide. This was the first time except from her mother Lucy thought of a woman as /spanemspan class="tm6"truly /span/emspan class="tm5"beautiful. The woman seemed to notice the intend stare from Lucy and looked back into her eyes./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Is there something on my face?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy was taken back she didn't realize herself that she was indeed staring at the woman. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Oh no, I am sorry it is just that...''br /Before she finished that sentence she thought about it again. It would be strange to just say thta right?/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She was already turning red in the face her embarressment no longer a secret. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The woman chuckled softly./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I am so pretty that you don't know what to say?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"That took Lucy again by surprise. She was so pure and beautiful at first sight, Lucy didn't think that she was arrogant. She laughed yet again./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Haha don't be shy. Even the principal said that to me. 'Mr. Lockser you are just too pretty to be a teacher all the boys are only following you and not the lesson' that's why I ended up in here. In the library are not many people allowed and I am in control here. So no problems if you know what I mean.'' She winked at her and went back to the information desk. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy followed still amazed that even the principal thought like that. Now she felt bad that she thought this woman was arrogant. Being beautiful could also be a disadvantage./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"The woman pulled a huge stack of books for different subjects out of a shelf and put it on the counter./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''These are all the books you need. You can lock some of them up in your locker or you can take them all home and only bring those you need for the day.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She smiled again./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Thank you.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy breathed out. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"When the last bell rang that day Lucy had trouble comprehending that the day was over already. It went by much faster than she expected. But it was amazing. She sat in almost every subject next to Mary or Mitchell, who both seemed to very kind. With everything that happened the day, Lucy never lost one thought on everything else and that was an amazingly normal feeling. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5" /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"When she walked over to the parking area where she wanted to call Natsu to pick her up she was surprised to already see him standing there, leaning against his car. The moment he spotted her he lifted his arm to greet her. Lucy also waved and walked over./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''How did you know that I was finished?''br /''Asked Kate how long school here normally runs.''br /He smiled and took her bag from her. He saw from the distance that it was full of books and that she also had to carry some in her arms because the bad was to small./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"She appreciated it, it was really heavy./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''You hungry?'' /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Natsu asked when they left the school area. Lucy only nodded and took his hand./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''What do you wanna eat?''br /''Hmmm, you can choose this time.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Natsu looked over at her and smiled cheeky./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Sure.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"When they stopped at a red light he leaned over to her and pulled her in for a long deep kiss. She sighed contently when he pulled away. There was something in his eyes again. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''I wanna eat pizza.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Something that simple?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy was a bit surprised to hear that. Normally he'd like to eat something fancy when they were eating out. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''Yes, But I have a special wish for dessert.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''What would that be?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Lucy laughed. Natsu wasn't the type to eat dessert especially not the cute and sweet stuff. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He looked at her again with those eyes. Lucy had a approximate idea where this was goind but she kinda liked that./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''You.''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"He breathed before turning back to the street since the red light turned gree. /span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"Embarrassed Lucy turned away from him with a laugh./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''And then...''br /He paused, making Lucy turn back to him./span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''And then?''/span/p
p class="Normal"span class="tm5"''We need to talk.''/span/p
p class="Normal" /p
