To lazyfangirl: thank you for the review ^^ You actually gave me an idea for later chapters, I wasn't thinking of a new crush yet I've found interest in the idea. At the same time it won't be a "crush"(?) But I hope you'll enjoy what I have in store, thanks for reading~

Chapter 3

Time: 11:30am date: 12st February **** (past) place: Fairy Tail high school

Perspective 3rd person/ Lucy Heartfillia/ later Natsu Dragoneel

'It's best to get up and head home,' was the first logical thought that had entered her mind. Lucy was emotionally tired, leading her to decide that going back in and seeing Natsu wouldn't be the best. It would just cause issues, as if the said person was to inquire her to what she saw, she wouldn't know how to respond. In her mind the only possible way in getting through this would be to forget what happened, yet her heart said otherwise. She was never good with things like this, never a good liar, or in faking her emotions. She was easy to read, one of the many things she didn't always enjoy to have, it made her vulnerable to others who were able to realise it. This also meant that Natsu would be able to recognise how she felt when talking about the things she saw. Uncomfortable. Upset. Lost. A few of many she knew were showing right now.

Lifting her head up and taking a few deep breaths, she proceeded in calming herself down. A flow of cool air passed through her lungs steadily, giving relief as earlier they were overheated from the small gasps of air which she allowed through while hiccupping/ sobbing. Closing her eyes briefly, she allowed herself to bask in warmth ( though it still didn't reach her heart). And upon opening them again she regained her composure, feeling a bit more like her usual self, not so caught in her own emotions. And took her time in lifting herself off the ground. She searched her surroundings. Yes, she was planning on going home early. But that would only happen if she was able to escape the teachers and of course the student council. But it was easy enough, class had already started. She had done this enough times with Natsu to know that this was the best time to leave. The blonde felt her heart contract tightly, this wasn't the best time for resonate.

She stalked forward, her ears taking in every sound, searching for anything to do with a person nearby. But nothing of the sort could be heard. And so she made her way forward, no detours, she just wanted to go home.


Inside, where class had started, Lucy's seat was left unoccupied. At the back, where nobody would go (it never did bother her, as although she was smart she wasn't always wanting to take part in the classes activities). So it wasn't abnormal that no one actually noticed. But he did. The male who caused Lucy to have an inner conflict, stared at the seat almost as if to intimidate it into giving him answers. It was rare for the female to miss a class, especially English (he knew she dreamed to be a writer). So to say he was shocked was an understatement. He knew that she had witnessed the kiss, but he quickly passed it off. If anything she would be happy for him right? This thought in particular consistently ran through his mind. He couldn't think of a reason why she wouldn't be. But little did he know that it was all because of the kiss that he would start losing her. In ways he later regretted.

To him, his day was amazing. He was able to kiss Lisanna. They were childhood friends, who slowly grew apart when reaching high school, but it was never enough to stop them from keeping contact. Nor was it enough to keep his feelings hidden. He called it love, although he had never experienced it before. To others this emotion was just a bump in the road, a small crush covered in other feelings of care of a family member. It was different to how people normally felt to a friend, but he has no one to tell him that it wasn't anything big like love.

After the kiss had taken place, Lisanna had ran from him. The blush staining her cheeks had given him hope that she had the same feeling as himself. To allow a new beginning for the both of them. But something about Lucy running away had left a bad taste in his mouth. This he didn't understand. Again the same thought ran through his mind.

He had decided that after school he was going over to Lucy's to see how she was, and with a little hope, to get her to help him out. Because she was one of the closest people to him, to help him when he was most troubled and be the shoulder for him to lean on. His heart was stuttered, he didn't understand. Crossing his arms on his desk, he lowered his head to cradle it, lulling him in and out of consciousness, drowning himself in his memories of Lucy.

He wouldn't understand for a long time.

I've noticed that I still get reviews on my old story, where people don't know or read the updates of me rewriting it (I'm not bitter ^w^) oh well, it meant I had to go and look at what I wrote (it made me cringe)~. I hope you enjoy this chapter, I tried to get some Natsu in there and I've sort have changed him from how aggressive he was in the old story, though I will still make him sort of ooc. Please leave a review and I will answer them all ^^ thank you and I hope you have a good day~
