The Rival Popstars
`Chapter 11'
*sigh*
Finally… A peaceful morning—without idiots surrounding me… I bet you guys are wondering what I am doing right now…
Well—I'm bicycling in the park… Finally having peace around me… The birds chirping, butterflies flying… The trees shading me from the morning sun as I cycle... The wind is in my hair… Messing my low ponytail…
It's so peaceful… I never had a peaceful-
"And we danced all night to the best song ever. We knew every line. Now I can't remember. How it goes but I know that I won't forget her. 'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever… I think it went oh, oh, oh. I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it goes oh…" Someone sang behind me.
Great… Thanks a lot, Lucy… I wonder why jerks kept on following me…
"Hey… Good morning Beautiful…"
Speaking of the devil… Sting Eucliffe… More worst than Pinky… Yeah, right. A peaceful morning… I take that back.
I ignored him and cycled faster.
"Is it just me or the sun had just been brighter?" Sting caught up with me while smirking.
"Would you please stop following me?" I grumbled.
For some reason—I wish Natsu was here… Why? I don't know…
"You may fall from the sky, you may fall from a tree, but the best way to fall… is in love with me…" Sting ignored me.
I bit my lip in annoyance and ignored him.
"Can I borrow a kiss? I'll promise to give it back again." He says.
That's the most cheesiest pick up line I ever heard my entire life… Can't he just stop following me?
"Stop following me! Jesus!" I almost screamed and cycled fastly.
"Are you tired-"
"Yes I'm tired! So stop following me!" I shouted at last interrupting his pick up line.
Long moment of silence… Yeeessh… What's his problem?
"Has anybody ever told you, you are so harsh?" he scratched his head.
Hmm… I thought of Natsu. And for some reason—it calmed my nerves down.
"Y-yes…" I sighed.
"Perhaps it's your boyfriend?" Sting asked with a curious look.
I blushed madly.
Before I could even reply I was rudely interrupted.
"HEY YOU! STOP DISTURBING MY LUCY!" A booming voice came from the back of us.
I have no idea why I was so happy to hear that voice… Why my heart started to jump up and down in glee. Why I suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach. My heart started beating faster as I turned around to face my pink-haired best friend.
"Hey, babe. Is he bothering you or something?" Natsu says in his skateboard.
I blushed. Babe? Who gave him the authority to call me that? He made us sound like a thing… In front of Sting too….
"Oh, sorry… I didn't know you were taken…" Sting muttered sadly and cycled away leaving Natsu and I alone.
"Morning, Luce… How has it been lately? Long time no see…" Natsu smirked.
"Really? It had only been one day since my groceries were all out." I snapped—but deep inside I was doing jazz dance like a total maniac.
"Looks like someone has woken up in the bad side of the bed this morning…" Natsu shrugged nonchalantly while catching up with me.
"I doubt that." I chuckled silently.
Natsu looked puzzled.
"You're not mad?" he asked.
"Actually I am very mad…" I shrugged in monotone.
This conversation is going on a lot weirder… Unlike the conversations Bubblegum and I always have…
"I could make it up to you…" Natsu muttered.
"Hmm?" I hummed and turn my glance at him.
"Never mind."
Ohh-kay… That was weird. A one very weird morning and a one weird conversation with Natsu. I wonder where this conversation is gonna end up in…
But unfortunately, Natsu haven't said a single word. What's up with him? He go interrupting my conversation with Sting, pretending that we were a thing and now he's acting quiet. It's a good thing that Sting dude won't bother me anymore… Or will he?
And usually, Natsu is normally loud or hiding food in his shirt or maybe eating every second. That's things I learned from my ex-rival… And speaking of rivals… When Natsu and I were rivals— Natsu is usually mad or mockingly annoying. But when we started being friends— he started eating a lot and acting a lot childish…
Don't you find that a wee bit suspicious? Okay, maybe there's nothing wrong about people eating a lot and acting childish… But maybe this is Natsu's true identity… Wait— what?
Okay, Natsu's been acting weird ever since we've become friends… Not only now…
"What's up?" I broke the silence and looked at Natsu.
"Nothing…" he muttered and skated fast.
"Why?" I caught up with him.
"I don't know…" he muttered.
"Hey, Natsu." I simply said.
Hmm.. Natsu… Playing hard to get, huh? Wait— what did I just said?
Natsu gave me a confused look.
"Heyyy…" I said again.
I find it rather cute when Natsu acts like this… No. No way… Just, no way. Hell no. No freakin' way… It's not what you think!
"Hey, Luce…" Natsu suddenly said.
I didn't know why I feel so happy when he finally said something. I repeat— I don't know why I feel so happy when he finally said something…
"Yes, Natsu…" I smiled.
"There's a spider on your helmet." Natsu pointed at my purple and white helmet.
What?!
"Where?! Where?!" I panicked.
Natsu began laughing like a total idiot. Okay, I'm not happy he finally said something… I'm annoyed.
"OMG, Lucy I can't believe you fell for it…" Natsu wiped a tear from the corner of his eye.
That little-
"Whatever…" I muttered.
"Hey, Luce… Wanna go grab some ice cream?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah, sure…" I shrugged.
Natsu and I sat on the park benches next to the fountains as we licked on our ice cream.
This isn't like a date or something, right? Like- how juvenile would that be? Nah, that wouldn't happen… Natsu and I were just friends… Besides, no one has ever dared to ask me out for a da-
"Luce, what do you do in Friday nights?" Natsu said suddenly leaning against the bench.
There's this feeling again…
"Um, nothing… We just have one concert, right?" I asked unsurely.
"What do you say—we go on a date tomorrow?" Natsu shrugged.
Oh. My. Gosh.
I could feel my cheeks heating up.
"I-I don't know, Natsu… I n-never went on a date before…" I stuttered.
"Don't worry, it'll be the best date you're gonna have!" Natsu cheered like a child.
"Okay…" I mumbled- but deep inside I was jumping up and down happily like I had just won World's best record in Piano Tiles. You know the game…
"Bye, Luce… See ya later…" Natsu bent forward and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
What?
Let me rephrase that. Natsu. Bent. Forward. And. Kissed. My. Cheek.
What?!
I could smell his signature perfume… OMG… His pink-hair was touching my face… Like- Oh my god… His lips were burning warmly as he pressed them gently to my cheeks.
It felt like ages before Natsu broke the kiss.
"Bye, Luce…" Natsu said and skated away leaving me hypnotized in the park bench.
How, I wished it had been a little longer….
Now, I have to get ready for tomorrow… A date… With Natsu… What should I do?
