Day 2- Stranger

It's been two days since that not even five minutes incidence still I just can't forget her eyes, nor her expression it seems that they are haunting me.

"- And then I was about to take the packet, she snatched it from me and made a fuss as if it was my fault." Lisanna was complaining something about her sister. We were sitting in the canteen as it was lunch and regular routine was going on, suddenly I thought I saw her and without a second thought I left and followed her but the crowd swallowed her and she was no where to be found again.

When I returned to our table all my friends curious eyes were on me.

"What?"

"What's going on with you buddy, it's been two days and I feel that you are always lost in thoughts." Gray said.

"Yup, acting oddly" Erza said.

"You are more irritating now." Gajeel added.

"What happened Natsu?" Lisanna asked holding my hands.

"Nothing much" I answered honestly.

Everyone sighed, I was confused why were they acting like this? Who is weird now? I am not lying, what is there to say. I shrugged.

"When you feel like telling us we will listen to you." Erza said.

Her saying it with such seriousness gave me chills, was I distracted a lot for them to be this concerned?

"He is acting weird after our last basketball match, he hit me and ran away, later I found him sitting on the road in a daze, after I asked about it he started going back and I don't know what happened he is like this in thoughts." Gray said with exasperation.

"That time I crashed into a girl, and I can't forget her eyes." I said as casually as I could.

Everyone was looking with wide eyes, now what is it?

"OH MY GOD, what am I listening to? Natsu is in love?" MIrajane said coming towards us.

What kind of conclusion is this?

"Seems like that." Erza agreed.

"No not at all, she kind of look frightened so I was concerned and that's it."

Yeah this is the thing they are overthinking it.

"Why do you care so much for some stranger? You don't know her so why are you thinking about her?" Gray said, right this made sense but I kind off wanted to punch his face for saying this ofcourse this concern me, though I don't know why but I felt that it just did.

"Maybe she was frightened seeing your horrible face." Gajeel commented

And A brawl broke out.

The time at school after lunch passed fast and the day was already over, and I was feeling tired all over as if I haven't slept for a long time don't know why was this happening to me now. I didn't even wait for anyone just rushed. When I was near the main gate, I saw a flash of golden hair and out of instinct I started following her.

She turned back once and I was sure it was her, I walked fast in case I lost her again.

She was a hand distance away from me when I stopped on my tracks what was I going to tell her? She didn't know me, it's possible she would think I m weird stalker. I turned around to leave suddenly I heard screeching of tires and the next thing I know is that some people are forcefully taking her with them.

I shouted and ran behind that car

All my tiredness and lack of sleep forgotten and I ran like my life depended on it.

"Why do you care so much for a stranger?" Gray's irritating voice was in the back of my mind, really, she was just a stranger to me who bumped with me then why was I searching for her? Why her eyes make me feel this way? Still ignoring everything I decided I need to save her and talk to her before I conclude anything.
