Lucy's POV
It's already night and I just finished dinner. When I went back to my room, I checked my phone if Natsu replied to me. I was worried because he doesn't reply to my texts nowadays. I think Natsu is acting weird when we practiced the pagaent for the contest.
Flashback
"Natsu! Hey! So you're the contestant of your class. It's not a shock for me." I said while laughing.
"Oh hey. Yea. I was shocked when you're the girl contestant in your class. I thought you don't like these things." Natsu said
"Thanks to that guy there. He was the one nominated me. Even though I didn't approve. Tch." I said annoyed.
"oh. Let's just do our best then. I need to go now. I have an important thing to do" Natsu said to me.
End of Flashback
"I wonder if something's wrong with him." I said as I laid down to my bed waiting for Natsu's reply.
Natsu's POV
I'm really irritated right now. I don't know how to face her. It's been a week. I'm not replying to her texts. Lucy's texts. Who would not be so shocked when you heard that your best friend said that she likes you? Does Lucy meant what she said to her friends? Or did I just misheard their conversation at that time? Do I like Lucy? She's pretty and she's my best friend. Nah, there's just no way that I'm in love with her. After all I made up my mind that when the contest is done, I will confess to Lisanna and ask her out.
Yes, Lisanna is the one I love. I'm very loyal to her. And she's loyal to me too. I can just find answers later about Lucy. For now, I will not answer her texts until I can find my answers.
Lucy's POV
It's been morning. I fell asleep as I waited for Natsu's reply to my Good Evening text. Everyday we exchange greetings like, good morning or good evening or hello. I feel upset because he hasn't replied to my greetings these past few days.
It seems that Natsu is avoiding me. I wonder why. Maybe because he knew that I like him? There's just no way that he knew. I mean, I only told it to Levy and Erza.
I took a shower, changed into my school uniform, ate breakfast, brushed my teeth and head off to school.
"I'll be off!" I shouted to my mom.
"Have a safe trip darling." My mom said
As I arrived at the school, I saw Natsu.
"Hey Natsu! Good morning" I said in a cheerful tone
"Oh hey luce. Morning." Natsu said cooly.
"Are you avoiding me? It seems like you haven't replied to my text greetings." I said to him
"What? Oh. I'm not avoiding you. It's just that I'm busy these days. You know, stuffs." Natsu said nervously.
"Sooooo, what stuffs are you up to?" I said
"Since you're my best friend, I think I'll say it to you." he said to me as he gulped preparing to say something.
"You know I have this girl I like, her name is Lisanna and I will confess to her after the contest. So I'm planning what to do when I confess." Natsu said blushing.
My heart ached as if knives are stabbing through it. I don't want to hear this. I don't want to hear this. I don't want to hear this! I didn't realize that I was covering my ears.
"Are you okay Luce?" Natsu said worriedly.
"Yes, I'm fine. Really. Anyway, I know that you like Lisanna. Well, Good luck! I'll cheer for you two." I just said to him faking a smile.
"Really? Thanks Luce." Natsu said grinning.
"No problem. You're my best friend after all. Well, I'll be heading to my classroom now. See you around." I said as I faced the other way and walked really fast.
Yeah. Just best friends. Nothing more, nothing less. I thought to myself as I tried my best not to cry.
How is it? Awieeee. Poor Lucy. But rest assured, this is not a NaLi fanfic. Lol.~^O^~ Please review. :3
