This may be weird but I wanted to try and type from third person in this chapter. This way it will be easier for me to get to the interactions faster. Most likely most chapter will be from Lucy's perspective, but this one and possible a few others will be from third person or maybe even Natsu's perspective. I'm sorry if this is bad just let me know in a review. If too many people dislike it I will most definitely change it in the future. Enjoy (Hopefully).
(After I wrote this chapter I realized I kind of liked writing from third person a little more than I did first person. I will most likely from now on write from third person. It's not written in stone, but unless I get a mass of people saying that they hate it it seems like this is what I'll do. There will be chapters from both Lucy and Natsu's Pov. in the future. Third person just seems to keep my story moving along the way I want it to.)
Boredom. It was the end of the school day and there she sat in a partially empty club room doing absolutely nothing. She may be the president of that club, but it was not her fault. The school just had nothing going on. Levy was the only one in the clubroom at the moment, but she had her head buried in a book.
Lucy let out a breath as she looks at the clock 4:56 pm. It was always like this at the beginning of the year. So slow. Nothing worth her time happened very often. Though when it did she made sure to capture every bit of it. Her strongest writing skills was that she could make people feel like they were there or that they had actually witnessed it. That's why most student and almost all the teachers buy a copy of the newspaper when it come out.
Slightly tapping the pencil she had in her hand against the wooden desk table she began to think of way to make this club better. Looking at the empty club room just made Lucy feel depressed. Take one last glance towards Levy before she abruptly stands up.
"I'm going to get some air." Lucy heads towards the door not looking back.
"Okay Lucy." Levy says not taking her eyes off her book. Lucy pays no mind to this. It was borderline normal. Once Levy picks up her book it's hard to communicate with her.
Lucy hadn't known where she was heading. She knew she wanted to be outside and breathe in the new crisp air. It was one of her favorite times of the year. The weather was just getting cooler but not too cold to where she had to wear a coat or jacket. Plus all the cherry blossoms were perfectly in bloom. They wouldn't last for very much longer. At the most maybe another week.
In the end Lucy had decided on going to see the cherry blossoms. Her mom had always told her that they bring people happiness and love. Of course Lucy knew it was just a tale that her mother would tell her to make her believe that magic existed. It's not that she didn't want to believe in the stories her mother had told her she just couldn't really feel or see it being true.
Yet here she was in front of the tree that created burst of life into the plain courtyard of the school. Looking at the tree she could almost hear her mom telling her the stories. She missed her mom so much that thinking about it made her chest hurt. Lucy looks away from the beautiful sight of the falling blossoms to ease the pain just a bit.
From where Lucy had turned her head she saw something from the corner of her eye. There was a couple. They were kissing and by the way they were eating each others faces they didn't realize they had company. Lucy feeling as awkward as she should from seeing what she did, was going to walk away and probably go back to the clubroom. She hadn't decided if she was going back yet.
In the last few seconds before she was about to walk away something had caught her attention. She heard a name being moaned, but it wasn't the moan that she stayed for. It was the name that really meant the most.
"Lissana.." Lucy let out a quiet gasp. Lissana wasn't the type of girl you to think of doing things like this in public where other could see. But there Lucy was witnessing it with her own eyes. Well almost. The most she could see at the moment was the short silver hair of the school's most popular girl. She definitely having an intense make out session. Lucy could tell by the hand that was entangled in her hair and the other wrapped tightly around her waist. She couldn't quite see the other person which of course was Natsu. Lucy try to position herself to where she could see them both fully, but she didn't want to risk being caught.
Lissana always seemed like a nice girl who would go to church every Sunday and make sure to listen to her parents, so it made Lucy confused why she would be making out with Natsu in public. Lucy figured it was because mostly everyone had gone home by now. Well unless people were in club activities or football player.
That made Lucy really confused. Football practice isn't over until 6:00 pm, and Natsu sure as hell couldn't miss that. He was the captain, so it's a big deal that he wasn't there. Lucy face light up. She knew that this is what she had been waiting for. Lucy grab her camera from her bag and quickly positioned herself to where the occupied couple could not see her. Almost fumbling her camera Lucy took a photo that was guaranteed to have Lissana and Natsu in the act.
But when Lucy had clicked the button she realize an important fact. Lucy had her flashed turned on when taking the photo. As anyone would have guessed the moment Lucy had pressed the button the bright light of the camera had come off and a loud click had filled the sound around them.
Lucy stood there petrified. Even worse the couple had pulled apart to look at Lucy, but she didn't return their stares. She stood there a few more seconds before her brain had finally sent alarms through Lucy's body tell her that she probably run at that moment, and like anyone else who was normal would of done she ran like crazy making a straight path towards the newspaper club.
It wasn't until Lucy had reached the exit of the courtyard did she hear someone yell.
"You tell anyone about this and you are dead you goddamn cheerleader!" That's when it finally hit Lucy. Only one person ever called Lucy a cheerleader. It was Bixlow. But that didn't make any sense. Why would Bixlow be yelling at her?
It didn't take Lucy more than a few minutes to reach the club room, especially since she had sprinted the entire way to there. The moment she bursted through the door Levy looked up and new that Lucy had something. This happen more times than you would think. Lucy finds something while looking around and then automatically showing up in the room with a story ready to be written. Levy sighed and set down her book and went over to Lucy. She knew that Lucy wouldn't leave until is was completed and ready to be handed out tomorrow. Of course she had to help her best friend.
Levy walked over to the seemingly still friend of hers. When got closer she noticed why. Lucy had her camera open and was looking at a photo wide eyed with her mouth slightly gaped open.
It wasn't until she saw the photo that she realized what had happened while her friend was gone. The pictured showed Lissanna in a heated make out session but it wasn't with Natsu her longterm boyfriend. It was Bixlow the strange art student who spent all of his time in the art room making creepy dolls. It was a really strange pair. The two girl couldn't believe their eyes. It was truly a moment of shock. It wasn't until Levy broke the silence that Lucy realized she was staring for so long at the picture.
"I'll go get a lot of paper, while you get started on the writing." Levy said as she left to get paper. Lucy nodded and went to start typing. It was going to be a long night.
School had went by seemingly fast the next day. The newspapers were sold out within the first hour they were on sell, and every student had heard about what had went down. Ironically neither Lissana or Bixlow had shown up for school that day. They must of known that Lucy was going to publish something on it and decided to stay home so they wouldn't have to answer questions. Typical. People always avoiding the problems that they caused themselves.
By the end of school Lucy was heading back towards the cherry blossom tree. All the excitement and gossip of today really tired her out. She wanted a little bit of quietness before going back into the club room.
She didn't write the article for gossiping purposes she wrote it because it was something that happened on school grounds so she had a right to write about it. It doesn't matter who she hurt. It was all about truth. Letting out what happened was the only thing Lucy cared about and she felt more relieve knowing that it was.
As Lucy reached the the tree she shut her eyes and took in the sweet smell of the blossoms. It made her feel more relaxed. The tension was almost gone.
Within a flash Lucy found herself slammed against the hard wood of the tree and a pair of hands keeping her there. Lucy opened her eyes to be met with a pair of angry onyx eyes staring straight into her eyes almost as if looking through her. It was a male. A really pissed off one at that. Lucy knew straight away that it was Natsu by his pink hair.
Lucy tried to fight his grip but was too much. She looked at him with pleading eyes only to realize that he has tears forming in his own. That when she noticed in one of his clenched fist was an article. Her article to be exact, the one that happened to be over his very own, one and only girlfriend.
Lucy felt a little less frightened of him after seeing the tears. She was use to pain but she could tell by looking him that he was not. She felt pity towards him. It was rare for that to happen so that meant a lot more to her than it would to others. Lucy was about to comfort him, before he started talking.
"How do you know?" He asked in almost a grieving tone like he just needed to know. His fist clenched the paper tighter than before. "How do you know that she would do something like this?" Lucy could tell by the way he was asking her that he must of already has suspicions but didn't want to believe it was true. It make Lucy's heart clench. This isn't what she wanted.
