Here it is. This chapter is short (I mean they're all short) but I hope to include some big events in the next chapter. I want to develop this story slowly and with interest but I also want this to get juicy. Anyway I hope you enjoy!
Year three. A year that you expect 8-9 year olds to worry only about playing with friends and if they did their homework or not. Unfortunately I was stuck with the 8-9 year olds that were stupid.
I had woken up early on the first day of our third year. For no particular reason my body had decided today was one of those days. And what a day it was. I was up even before mom which meant it had to be about 5:30 in the morning.
Not wanting to make it such an inconvenience, I headed to the shower. Once I was done I picked out my clothes, got dressed and headed downstairs to make some breakfast. It was still dark so I tried not to make much noise but mom being the light sleeper that she is, heard me anyway.
"Good morning Lucy." came moms soft voice.
A little startled I jumped as I looked up. "Oh, good morning mom. I didn't mean to wake you." I replied.
"That's alright dear. Don't forget your lunch." She told me as she headed back to bed.
I nodded and continued making breakfast. When I finished it was about 6:15 and the sun was starting to show it's early light. Mom and dad had officially woken up for the day and joined me for breakfast.
"Good morning Lucy." Dad kissed my head and then sat down in his chair. "What a lovely breakfast, thank you."
I smiled and finished making mine and Natsus lunch for school.
Around 6:45 I left for Natsus house with our lunches in hand and some breakfast for Natsu. He never woke up in enough time to enjoy the breakfast Igneel made for him.
As I approached the door the locks were already clicking from the inside.
"Good morning Lucy." Igneel greeted. "Come in." He gestured.
"Natsu is still asleep?" I asked.
"Yeah, and I've been trying to get his lazy ass up since 5 a.m. the little turd."
I chuckled. "Don't worry I'll get him up." And I trotted upstairs to the pink heads door. It was the first door on the left. I knocked softly and when I heard no reply I slowly opened up the door to peek inside.
To no surprise I found him, body contorted, in a weird shape. Half his body was on the floor and the other half on his bed. "Natsu." I whispered while poking his side."Natsu get up, you'll be late for the first day." I said in a normal tone.
I stood at his side wondering how to get him up. Hand on my hips, I looked around the room and found a cup with some water left inside it. I grabbed it and positioned myself so he couldn't immediately kill me when he awoke from his slumber.
"NATSU!" I shouted and threw the water on his face.
Like a frightened cat he jumped up and started swinging his arms and growling. "WHAT THE HELL LUCE?!"
I stood triumphant at his displeased, pouty face and simply told him, "hurry up or we'll be late for school."
It didn't take long for the lazy bum to get ready. Which was good since he decided to sleep in.
As we left my bestfriends house I handed him a small plastic bowl with rice, an egg and two slices of bacon. He side glanced me and the bowl and then quickly snatched it from my hands, inhaling the food like it was second nature.
"So Natsu are you ready for this year?" I asked him with some pep.
"I guess." Came his half assed answer.
I looked at him confused, and a little angry, for a second before saying, "What do you mean 'I guess?'"
"I mean there's nothing new happening this year. It's the same thing over and over again. We go to school, we play soccer with the guys, we go home. Wash, rinse, and repeat. It gets old Luce." He threw his hand behind his head and looked up toward the sky. "I want some excitement in my life."
As if the gods had answered his pitiful cry for something new to happen to him, we ran into a familiar face. Literally.
Natsu and I both ran into another human but I fell on my butt like the clutz I am.
"Watch where you're going dumba-" the pink headed insult stopped. I looked up to see a familiar golden glow standing in front of us.
"Sting?" My voice was excited and astonished.
"Hey Luce." He smiled and helped me up.
Natsu, from his angry frozen state, finally moved again. "I'm the only one who gets to call her Luce." He stepped in between us, taking over Stings attempt to help me up.
"Don't be so harsh Natsu." I scolded him. "So what brings you around here?" I asked my golden haired friend.
"I got transferred to Fairy Tail because of my stupid dad." He groaned.
Natsus face went blank and all his movements froze as if the earth had stopped spinning.
