The Rival Popstars
`Chapter 6'
"You're a terrible cook, Lucy…" Natsu scrunched his nose in disgust.
"Don't look at me- you almost burned my house! So you're even more terrible! And have you ever heard of the saying: "Be thankful for the food someone who gave you..." I shot back munching on my beans.
What an ungrateful guy!
"You expect me to eat this?! It's definitely great!" Natsu cheered and gobbled up his dinner.
"And you said I was terrible…" I mumbled tilting my head a bit from depression.
"Nope… Natsu didn't say anything…" Natsu played/referred third person.
"Natsu please stop that. It's annoying…" I grumbled in annoyance.
"Natsu is not annoying… Natsu's name is Natsu- not Pinky just in case you are mistaken… Natsu's hair color is salmon not pink… And what will you do about it?" he smirked ever so teasingly making me wanna swoop my hands to his cheeks.
"I'll kick your ass outta my house…" I grumbled in depression.
"Make me…" he smirked.
As soon as he realized what he said- he clapped his mouth with his hand in shock.
I burst out laughing from the look of his face.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah… Laugh all you want, Luce…" Bubblegum pouted like a child.
"Oh- wanna play xbox?" I cheered while gathering the plates.
"Tempting but no. Let's play something sporty… Now, would you look at yourself in the mirror you need some exercise! And boy- you look fat, Luce! Ooh, I know! How about basketball?" Natsu smirked.
What's this guy's problem?!
I mean- every guy likes videogames right? So how come he likes outdoor games?! Is he gay or some-
Wait- hold your horses- Did this jerk just call me fat?!
"What did you say- Bubble-gum?" I asked him with anger in my voice. My dark aura began emitting up as Natsu chuckled nervously.
"H-hey, I'm just asking- alright?" he chuckled nervously as sweats began forming in the sides of his head.
"And if I win this game- you would do me something?" I smirked while twirling my hair.
"If only I would let that happen… But it's only for fun and not for competition…" Natsu scoffed and crossed his arms.
All I feel right now- is anger… Only anger… Like- who does he think he is?! To call me fat?!
Like- who in the fuck does he thinks he is?!
"Okay, fine… Even if I do anything you want? Like for example- be your slave? Sing off key in front of the whole staff? Hang out with the bizarre fans? Call me anything you want for like- everyday of my entire life? Make me jump off a cliff? If you don't want that- then suit yourself… it would be such an embarrassing moment for my life…" I smirked and twirled my hair.
Natsu's jaw dropped as I said those words that's gonna embarrass me for my entire life.
"Uh- I- um…" he stammered.
"Uh, uh, uh… No taking back…" I waved my pointer at his bewildered face.
I chuckled to myself and gestured Natsu to follow me to the door.
"I'm gonna take my ball…" Natsu mumbled and we stopped in front of his house.
"Whoa… What a mess…" I scrunched my nose in disgust as we entered Natsu's living room.
Eeeww… I hate to admit this- but boys are pigs… Some boys… Like this pink cotton candy..
"Hey, I don't have time to clean those up, kay?" he glared at me and continued looking for his basketball.
What a Crankypants…
"What a clean room you have!" I exclaimed untruthfully.
Okay- I just said that in my head so no one heard it except me.
And this is how my afternoon began…
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
I bounced the ball with perspiration.
One more perfect shoot and it's either the Natsu and I wins…
And throw! Perfect shot!
"Okay, I win Natsu!" I smirked playfully at the now- jawdropped Natsu.
Natsu just huffed.
"So you expect me to say 'Congratulations'? Okay, then Congratulations, Luce… NOT!"
"So mean… But I won! I won!" I cheered.
"You didn't tell me you were an expert at sports…" Natsu mumbled.
"Why would I? I nev- never mind. Let's go home- and celebrate!" I smiled and dragged Natsu behind me.
"Oi, Luce! I can walk too you know!" Pinky shouted.
"Oh yeah, right! Like a turtle!" I shot back and continued dragging him behind me.
(Blank Space by Taylor Swift playing around just like in the movies.)
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
"Ooh! Food!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Let's go!" I continued dragging him.
"But Luce! It's a Ramen Competition! Can I please Join!" he gave me the puppy-dog eyes.
"Drown yourself…" I rolled my eyes and let go off him.
"Yay! Let's go!" He dragged me inside.
"Natsu- wait!" I shouted and slipped by a banana peel dragging Natsu to fall down with me. And of course- like any other romance movies- Natsu landed on top of me.
I looked at his intelligent black orbs. OMG! Natsu is so close…
Natsu. Is. So. Close.
Think I'm gonna faint!
Sometimes- Natsu could be sooo annoying… But sometimes-Natsu could be the source of heat…
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
"Get the fuck off me!" I screeched.
"Don't worry, Luce. I'm gonna stay like this forever if you want."
"Sh-shut up! Th-there's so many people looking!" my face began to heat up. My heart pounding so wild and I feel like melting from Natsu's hotness.
What am I saying?! Natsu is not hot!
NOOOO! I have lost my dignity and pride!
"And so? Let them look." Natsu smirked.
I blushed even harder.
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name…
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no.
It took time to get that jerk off me. Geez… I just didn't know what I said just now… Or what come over me… Or what come over him…
*Facepalms*
How did I get him off me? Simple.
~Flashback~
"Natsu, the competition is gonna start!" I pointed to the Ramen Competition.
"Ooh! Wish me luck!" Natsu got off me and darted to the door.
Whew... what a lifesaver.
~End of Flashback~
I waited outside the door where Natsu is having a competition with the other guys.
I don't wanna go inside 'cause I'm not that interested in this kinds of things anyways… So I wait outside the door.
"Hello, Lucy."
Speaking of the devil…
Sting Eucliffe and Jenny Realite
"Hello, Lucy…" Jenny plastered a fake smile and expressed my name.
"Jenny." I replied back with a forced grin.
"You smell good today… What did you use- the toilet bowl cleaner?" Jenny scrunched up her nose in disgust and bursted out laughing with her twin.
One thing I learned from three months having the two Blondies as my rivals are-
Sting the little annoying smirking monkey. Annoying sometimes but can be serious at some times also.
Jenny- calling her a mean girl is an understatement. She is an anaconda in designer jeans and a shark with overreacted make-up.
And boy- they are mean! But eventhough they are mean and all- we still treat each other like friends…
Pretty cool, huh?
"Nice sweater, Jenny." I smiled warmly pointing at her sweater.
"Yes, I bought it yester-"
"Does that look familiar or it looks like my poodle's shirt?" I shot back scoffing.
Sting bursted out snickering earning a good elbowing in the stomach- from Jenny.
"Why don't you go in, Lucy?" Jenny pointed at the door.
"Oh, right- they don't allow pets! My bad. Bah-bye, Lucy…" And with that she sashayed away with her twin.
"Call me." Sting whispered and winked at me.
Eeeww… Like- how juvenile does he thinks he is? And did she just call me a pet?! Ohhh- that puny old-
"Hey, Luce!" Natsu lifted me up the ground in joy.
"Y-you won?" I stammered with my face red. I don't know why I feel like this…
Damn you Natsu…
"Nope." Natsu grinned from ear to ear.
Wow… Look at that face…
Urgghh! What the hell am I saying?! I'm losing my pride here- just because of Natsu's goddamn cuteness!
"Wait- you didn't won, and your happy?" I asked him in confuse while we walked around the neighborhood.
"Nope. At least they gave out free Ramen!" Natsu exclaimed in joy.
I facepalmed. Told you Natsu could be so childish…
"See ya' tomorrow, Luce!" Natsu waved to me and went inside his house.
"Right." I whispered.
Gloominess began to erupt the atmosphere as I walked to my room.
Tomorrow….
The day, the reason, the time I was born in this world… Twenty-one years… Twenty-one years of pain and suffering…
No matter how much I try to show that I'm happy. No matter how hard I try to put aside those painful memories… I wonder why it just kept striking me…
I know what I always do in that day… I take an off day every on this date- and even Gildarts doesn't know why… I hope Natsu don't look for me tomorrow…
I know I wasn't so especial… Why those painful things happened to me…
