hahaha. Anyway, this story's just for fun. Nothing too intense or serious.
Basketball fun! Read and Review~! thanks!
"So, Ezra's back today?" Lucy asked, a little nervously. Erza, the girl Natsu described as a scary monster…? Mirajane smiled,
"Yep. Apparently she got home late last night, so she's here today." Lucy chuckled nervously.
"Is that so…" Levi eyed the fidgeting girl. What's wrong with her? Levi looked at Jubia, who shrugged, uncaring. All four girls were currently walking to meet Natsu, Gray and Erza at the usual lunch area. They had promised to have lunch again today as they left yesterday, so they could have lunch with Erza as well.
Lucy kept the smile glued on her face as they walked closer to the meeting table. What if she wanted to fight me? She thought, panicking. If she was big and liked to beat on Natsu and Gray, she must like dominance, right? Lucy concluded. So, she'll probably want to make it known that she's the stronger woman. Lucy gulped. I'll just back down, let her know that she IS the dominant girl. Lucy nodded to herself. That should work right? If bowing down to a girl would save her from getting her face rearranged, Lucy would do it in a heart be-
"Lucy?" Mirajane knocked Lucy out of her train of thought. She turned to Mirajane.
"Yeah, Mira?" Mirajane smiled at her kindly,
"You've been zoning out and were about to walk into a wall." Lucy blinked. What? She looked in front of her only to find a brick wall 20 cm from her face. Okay. Obviously, I shouldn't think and walk at the same time. Lucy sweat dropped. Okay, that just made me sound so blonde. Lucy sighed, changing direction so that she wasn't going to hit any objects any time soon… hopefully.
Maybe she was worrying too much? Yeah, that was it. What was there to worry about? She was surrounded by friends. Lucy smiled. Then again, Lucy looked over at her three friends. They were as small as I am. Maybe smaller. Natsu and Gray couldn't save her either, considering their both scared of her. Or so she's heard from Natsu. His description of this Erza was very heard to just ignore:
Natsu and Lucy were walking down the hall, covered in food, in silence. Lucy inwardly groaned. She didn't like awkward silences. Granted, she didn't think she'd have to worry about with Natsu, but apparently, she did.
"So, Natsu," She started, gaining Natsu's attention. "You have another friend, right?" Natsu nodded. "Why weren't they here today?" She asked, trying to start conversation.
"Oh, Erza's just busy right now, she should be back by tomorrow." He grinned.
"Oh, Erza? So it's a girl? What's she like?" Lucy asked, half interested, half trying to keep him talking. Natsu grimaced at her,
"She's the devil." He muttered out. Lucy blinked. He seemed excited to have her back tomorrow? What's with the change of mood? "She loves to hit people, and can destroy anything she chooses, which is usually everything." He cringed, "She's bossy and demanding. And thinks she's stronger than everyone else." He grumbled.
"She likes to hit people?" That stood out in Lucy's mind the most.
"Oh, yeah. Ha! All the time." he groaned. "Me and Gray avoid her most of the time so we don't get any broken bones." Lucy's eyes widened. Natsu? Hide from someone? He was incredible strong… Who was this Erza?
"So, you and Gray are afraid of her?" She had to ask.
He made a 'Pfft.' noise. "No, I'm not afraid of anyone!" He said, hitting his hard chest. Yeah, right. Lucy saw threw his act. "Only the pussy Gray is afraid! Like this one time…."
Natsu was obviously very afraid of this person. Which made Lucy terrified as they approached the table. As they got closer, Lucy saw Gray sitting next to a knocked out Natsu. Nothing out of the ordinary. Where was this Erza person?
"Natsu, Gray!" Levi greeted them,
"Gray!" Jubia greeted at the same time, overly excited. Gray put up his hand in response while Natsu gave a grunt. They all sat down.
"Gray," Mirajane singled him out, considering he was the only one of the two conscious. "Where's Erza?"
"Hello, Mirajane." A feminine voice drenched in confidence and strength voiced from behind Mirajane and Lucy. Turning, Lucy's jaw dropped at this so called 'monster'.
Standing before them was a girl, obviously older than Lucy, with long scarlet hair and pretty brown eyes. She was wearing a gray sweater, that fit her perfectly and a blue skirt. Sh- She was pretty!
"Hello, Erza," Mirajane moved her hand onto Lucy's shoulder. "I'd like you to meet Lucy. Our new friend who just moved here." Lucy smiled, a little shy,
"Nice to meet you, Lucy." Erza gave a small, barely noticeable smile. Lucy thought she was cute, maybe shy. hell no.
"Nice to meet you," She responded. Erza sat next to Lucy, on the far right end. She looked to the far left, where Natsu was snoring.
"Natsu's sleeping?" Erza asked. Gray grunted.
"Mission." Was all he said. Lucy saw Erza raise a brow in question, but Gray shrugged it off. He whacked Natsu on the head. "Wake up, idiot!" He snapped.
Natsu didn't flinch. Gray growled. Here we go, Lucy rolled her eyes. Watching as Gray thought on how to wake the boy.
Thump.
Gray had settled on shoving the slumbering boy off the table, effectively waking the now raging Natsu.
"What the hell, bastard!" He snarled, jumping up from the ground. Obviously, Gray took that as a challenge and stood up as well, smirking.
"Sorry, you're just so pathetic that everyone agreed that yo-" Gray couldn't finish his sentence as Natsu head butted him, snarling.
"Shut up. I've had enough of your pussy voice." Natsu growled, which of course, made Gray snap,
Both boys were now forehead to forehead, glaring and screaming any insult that came to mind. Dear god, not again. Lucy had enough of this last time when she ended up covered in food. Was she going to try to break them up again and end up worse than last time or in a more embarrassing position as last time? She thought not.
Lucy opened her mouth to ask Mirajane if she knew what to do about the troublesome duo, but was interrupted.
Erza cleared her throat, which went unnoticed. Feeling her anger rise, Erza snapped at the boys, "Shut up!"
Lucy gawked as both boys automatically sat down, shutting up and even throwing an arm around each other's necks.
What the?!
Erza smirked. Both boys were sweating to death. Lucy turned to look at the small frame of the girl beside her. How were those two so afraid of her? What could possibly make them that afraid? About to voice her thoughts, Lucy was interrupted once again,
Only this time, it was the bell.
Great. Lucy had Gym now. Fun.
"Okay, today we're going to play basketball with the older kid's gym." The teacher said, before walking out of the change room. This automatically sent everyone in Lucy's all-girl gym class talking.
"We haven't done this for a long time, finally." One girl said,
"Yea, I know. It's been too long since we saw the older guys," Another said back, giggling in excitement.
Older guys?
Jubia noticed Lucy's confusement and decided to fill her in, "Lucy, this school's a ghetto school. So, most kids don't go to school or skip." Lucy nodded, wondering what brought this up. "So, there are not that many kids in the older grades, they have to merge the boys and girls into the same gym class."
Okay, I get it. Lucy thought. She was glad she had Jubia in her class, considering Mira is a year older, and Levi didn't take gym this year. Wait! That means we get to play with older, hotter guys?! Lucy thought, suddenly getting excited. Do I look okay? Man. Why did I have to wear my hair up for gym?! Trying to fix her hair, Lucy accidentally over heard some of the other girls conversation:
"Yeah, I can't wait to play!"
"Play? Ha! I'm planning on just pretending like I can't play so I can get some guys to 'help' me." Pfft. Lucy thought. What manipulative girls they are…
"Omigod! Good idea!"
"I know," The other one said smugly.
"Too bad Gray's not in that class." A girl said, disappointed. Jubia snorted. She was listening too?
"Well, look on the bright side," One girl tried to cheer the other up.
"What bright side?"
"Natsu Dragoneel is in it." Lucy jerked her head, surprised at the mention of her bafoon friend. Natsu's in that class?
"True! He's such a hottie!" Lucy suppressed a giggle. Natsu was cute, but 'hottie'?
"Yeah, have you seen that eight pack?!" The girls gushed. Lucy blinked. Eight pack?
"Oh my god, I know! He's gorgeous. I think Gray's face is better, but Natsu's body is definitely better!" Another giggled back.
Jubia scoffed, "Who cares about body? Gray's is amazing anyway." You've seen it? Lucy couldn't help but think. Besides, what were all these girls gushing about? He couldn't have that good of a body. He is cute though. Like a cute little puppy wise… Lucy thought about it. Not hot… right?
A whistle blew, signalling all the girls into the gym.
Well, anyway at least I know two people in my gym class. For today at least. Lucy thought, smiling.
"Erza?" Erza turned around, having cut off her conversation with Natsu to turn and face the voice that spoke her name.
"Lucy!" Natsu exclaimed, surprised. Erza nodded,
"I see, so your in this gym class, Lucy?" Lucy nodded.
"Yeah, but I didn't know you guys were going to be in it!" She suddenly felt a wave of excitement. She had three friends in her class now.
A whistle blew, cutting off any other attempt of keeping their conversation. All teens were being called to the middle, waiting for instructions.
"Today will be somewhat of a free day," a cheer of 'Yeah!'s went around the gym. The gym teacher glared, making them be silent. "You can shoot baskets, have a game of your own, play a game, whatever. But this is to get you used to the feel of basketball. Next class will be more serious." She stated.
Natsu cheered, running off to grab a ball. Erza falling close behind. Lucy and Jubia slowly walked to join their friends, both not really caring about getting a good ball.
"Naaatsu!" One high and annoying pitchedvoice called out across the gym. Natsu lifted his head to see five girls from Lucy's class flagging him over. Curiosity and confusement plain on his face, Natsu walked over to the girls, ball in hand.
Lucy huffed. Some girls tried way too hard, she thought as she watched the girls poor attempt of shooting a basket. And how she was asking Natsu to teach her, the others soon joining as he complied to demonstrate his skills.
"Lucy, want to play HORSE?" Jubia asked, noticing the girl wasn't paying attention.
"Oh, yeah, sure." She said half heartedly. She had an idea of what HORSE was. She watched many movies, she could just observe the others and teach herself how to play.
Playing, Lucy found she was actually very good at the game HORSE. It was simple really. One person would go, try to get a shot, if they did than the next person would have to make the same shot. If you couldn't get the shot, you lost a letter until you were out of them. Lucy had RSE, as did Erza. Jubia was at E.
"C'mon, Jubia!" Lucy cheered, smiling. Jubia smiled back, before trying to shoot.
"Hey!" Jubia's ball went flying off the dash board. Lucy glared at the approaching Natsu. "Playing without me?!" He demanding, confident and obviously wanting to play. Lucy glared at the pink haired boy.
"Who says you can play?" Lucy snapped. She found herself very angry at him for some reason, maybe because he messed up Jubia's shot? Natsu looked at her, some what shocked. Lucy felt abit guilty. He didn't do anything wrong.
"Do you want to play, Natsu?" She asked, being polite. Natsu snorted.
"Play? Nah. I'll demolish you." He grinned challengingly. Lucy growled, feeling her angry boiling up again.
"Bring it on if you think your so good!" She challenged. Natsu's grin widened, almost demonic.
"I don't know if you want to do that, Lucy." Lucy snapped her head at Erza. Erza didn't even blink at the hostility radiating off the blonde girl. "Natsu's very good at basketball." Lucy glared at the 'innocent' pink boy.
"We'll see." Natsu's mouth opened in a mouth shattering smile. Lucy flinched.
"You'll really play me?!" Lucy blinked at the excited boy. Looking at Erza shaking her head at Lucy, she suddenly thought this might be a bad idea. maybe.
"That's E for you, Lucy." Natsu sounded bored. Really?! He sounded bored with this game? Why, I wonder? Maybe that's because he hasn't lost single point and she's lost almost all of them!?
"Ugh!" Lucy groaned. Natsu smirked.
"You can always give up, you know." He said, smugly. Lucy's forehead pulsed. Don't hit him. Don't hit him. Don't hit him. She chanted.
"I mean, it's not your fault you suck so badly at basketball." He continued. Erza shook her head, this wasn't going somewhere pretty. "You could always give up," He offered. Lucy snorted.
Don't hit him. Don't hit him. She chanted in her head as she lined up for a shot. Girls behind her giggling at how cool and hot Natsu was. Don't hit him. Don't hi-
"It's be embarrassing for you to continue, Lucy." He kept going. DON'T HIT HIM. DON'T HIT HIM. DON'T HIT HIM. DON'T HI- "I mean, I could always teach you, considering you really really need it, an-"
SMACK
….
….
…….
Damn. She hit him. The gym teacher marched over to her, stalking as if rounding on her next dinner. Lucy fidgeted.
"What?!" She blew up, "His face hit my ball!" She shouted.
"Sorry, Natsu." She grumbled, looking down.
"S'okay." He muttered back. Both in a bad mood. Him with a bandage on his noise, her with a bloody piece of tissue in her hands.
"Really…" She trailed off. She kinda hit him hard. "If you want, I'll repay you some how, since tomorrow's Friday…" Natsu perked up.
"Okay!" He said, excitedly, a huge grin on his bandaged face. "Then let's all hang out, your place!" She blinked.
"Okay," She giggled, smiling. That's all?
"AND!" he continued, She cringed. Knew it. "You owe me dinner!" Lucy's eyes snapped open.
"What?!" She snapped.
"Free food…" He trailed off, drooling. She sighed, smiling at the bafoon.
So, that's all he ment. Good.
So… why did she feel abit disappointed?
