Remember how I said, 'Sleep is for the weak'? Yeah, umm, I might have taken a small nap while piggybacking on Natsu. And maybe by maybe I mean yes. The moment I awoke from it I pulled out my phone and made sure I didn't smudge and of the makeup Mira had applied. Then I felt a warm hand on my own. I jumped up. Shouldn't I be used to this already? Natsu. He pulled down the hand that I was holding up that held my phone.
"You look beautiful," he complimented, his voice soft and gentle. I blush madly and let out a small, "Meep!".
"And adorable," he chuckled softly as my blushed deepened until my face was that of a tomato. I hid my face behind his back. I pushed my phone into the purse Mira lent to me, having a new found confidence for my looks. "We're here" Natsu stated plainly, lowering his hands so that my feet fell towards the ground, I released my hands and allowed them to fall with my legs onto the concrete. I stared at the school in the distance as loud noise was muffled by the walls. That 'new found confidence' that I had just gain immediately died of fright. New found confidence my foot! I'm terrified! Everyone in there still knows you as the whore b*tch slut that didn't talk to anyone! Why the hell did I decide to do this?!
"Lucy," his voice disrupted the debate going on in my brain. I looked over to him, his emotions unreadable. I nodded, a bit scared of what was to come. You would too if your life was filled with screw ups. "Gimme a high five." I was taken aback from his simple request. Why? "Don't question it, just do it," his voice was still gentle but remained stern. He held his hand up in front of me, and I placed my hand of his with no force behind it. The moment it landed there he pulled his fingers down into the empty slots in between each of my fingers. He lowered He's...holding my hand?! My fingers bent a little, not fully intertwined with his. WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?! CRAAAAAAAAAAAP! I'M SO AWKWARD WHEN IT COMES TO THIS STUFF! I've never been on a date, or held hands with a person of the opposite sex or had my first kiss, hell, I think Natsu's the first person to make me blush.
"Lucy?" I once again awoke from my thoughts, his voice startling me, "Are you OK? You look like you've seen a ghost," he commented. Crap, crap, crap, crap, CRAP! I turned my head down so he couldn't see my face,
"I-I'm fine!" I assured him.
"Good, now let's go," my head shot up.
"Ummm...I'm really tired actually, maybe we should go back," I offered, my voice quick.
"But you just spent the last 15 minutes sleeping on my back, also your house it 15 minutes away so it would be pointless," he explained matter-of-factly. I darted my eyes around, hoping that somewhere I would find an excuse. Finally I sighed in defeat,
"Fine, let's go."
Inside the music was extremely loud, though I couldn't quite pinpoint the song. Everyone was dancing, and it the crowd of people I recognized a few people, not the people I wanted to recognize. Throughout the commotion I was searching for three faces, Juvia, Mira and Levy. And in the crowd I spotted a messy head of blue hair. I wanted to run over, but then I noticed another figure beside her. Gajeel. My giggled evilly as I watched the two stand side by side. Then a voice caught my attention,
"Wow Flamehead, I'm surprised you even got a date," the voice snickered. Flamehead?
"Oh shut it Elsa," Natsu's voice responded. I turned around to find Gray and Natsu head to head looking like they were about to kill each other, each with their own dark aura. Then a girl with red hair who looked really familiar pulled their two heads apart with an equally scary look on her face, if not more scary.
"Could you two just get along?!" she yelled, but it was barely heard over the booming music. Oh right, that's Erza...
"So Erza where's your date?" I asked, eagerly, even though I shouldn't care.
"He's right here," she gestured beside her, but no one was there.
"I think she's crazy," Natsu whispered as Gray nodded. A vein looked like it was about to pop right out of her forehead as she looked beside her to find no one standing there.
"Where'd he go? JELLAL!" she called out getting lost in the crowd. Well that was awkward... Then a voice from the crowded boomed towards us,
"GRAY SAMA~" Oh no...
"Crap! You guys gotta hide me!" Gray urged as Natsu grinned evilly. I'm inclined to watch. Then Natsu called out,
"YEAH JUVIA! GRAY'S OVER HERE WITH LUCY AND I!" Gray shot Natsu a dirty look while he laughed maniacally.
"GRAY SAMA'S WITH LOVE RIVAL!" She screamed, popping out from the crowd towards us, "YOU CAN NEVER HAVE MY GRAY SAMA!" I stepped back,
"I never wanted him in the first place..." I sighed.
All of a sudden, she ran up to Gray S- Gray (I swear this Juvia stuff is contagious...) and bear hugged the life out of him. While entrapped in this bear hug he breathed the words, 'Help me' I giggled as Natsu stuck his tongue out at him. Suddenly I felt warmth on my hand. My head cocked upwards. Do I even have to look? The hand pulled me forward into a warm chest. I breathed in heavily as my cheeks warmed up. I pulled myself out coming eye to eye with Natsu (well not really considering I'm like three inches shorter than him...).
"Are you OK? You look pale," he commented. I do feel lightheaded.
"I-I'm fine, just gonna get some fresh air, be right back," I explained, walking towards the entrance.
The cool air swept against my skin. It was already dark outside, the lights from the school being the only thing that illuminated the area. I inhaled a deep breath when and arm wrapped around me and a cool surface placed on my hip. I flinched,
"Natsu, that isn't funny." No response. "Natsu seriously..." my voice was a bit more nervous and rushed, occasionally squeaking. Wait, the hand that's wrapped around me...it's cold...that's not Natsu... I flinched again, wanting to do something, but my body was still in shock.
"Goodnight Darling," suddenly all of my energy was sucked out of my body, my purse falling to the ground beside me. My eyes grew tired, lowering themselves until everything was black. My thoughts stolen from my brain, all pointing to an endless abyss of darkness. No, this is how people die. I have to think. Think...
