Lucy's POV
Just as Rogue and I finished our dance, I noticed someone was missing from our group, and I didn't hear "Yo Blondie" this morning so it should be...
"Where's Sting?" I asked.
Everyone in our group was shocked and I bet they barely noticed Sting's absence. I sighed and looked up at them, "Guys, Sting may be a fat jerk but that doesn't mean he is no different from us."
The guys frowned and the girls nodded in understanding.
"Yo, miss me much Blondie?" I heard a familiar voice and I turned my head and saw Sting with the blonde girl who keeps on glaring at me. She was wearing some sort of red dress that ended above her thighs, with ruffles, high heels, and a bright red flower on the side of her head. Sting wore a black tux and snickered because he thinks that he's soooo hot~ (=.=)
I frowned slightly then quickly changed it to a smile, "Ohayou, and no. You were almost late to class that Aquarius-sensei is throwing a tantrum other there. Look."
I didn't have the strength to yell at him back and pointed at Aquarius-sensei who was grabbing a guy by his collar and tossing him around like a cowboy and his rope trying to catch a running cattle. Sting was slightly shocked but started to laugh his butt off. We all started laughing too except for the girl, she kept on looking at me with an angry expression which disturbed me. I rubbed it off then I looked up at Rogue who looked back at me and smiled. I smiled to him and then I felt something on my shoulders, it was Sting's arm...no surprise there.
"Hey yo Blondie, just because I wasn't present here in class today doesn't mean that I didn't see your performance. You were pretty hot out there," he winked at me at the end but I simply rolled my eyes.
"I would be your partner but I didn't want to get caught up in your 'cute' act. NOW GET YOUR ARM OFF ME," I finally had the strength to yell while sticking my tongue out.
'Tch' Sting amusingly snickered.
"STING!" Aquarius-sensei yelled from the top of her lungs and Sting immediately got shivers.
"H-h-hai sensei?" he stuttered. I wanted to laugh so hard right now but I didn't want to interrupt this moment.
"YOU AND HINATA GET YOUR BUTTS ON THERE IF YOU WANT TO PASS MY CLASS," Aquarius-sensei fumed and I could see the redness in her face from annoyance, anger, and I ran out of adjectives but she looks like an erupting volcano. I heard that Sting wasn't one of her favorite students, from what I heard from Rogue, she hates his guts.
"Gomenasai for our tardiness sensei, but we were held back by our math teacher and did't have enough time to change promptly," the blonde girl who I think her name is 'Hinata' spoke softly.
Aquarius-sensei seemed to calm down just a little but sighed, "Fine, just show us what you got, and don't let Sting over there mess it up for you."
Hinata slightly smiled and nodded, she motioned Sting to come with her to the front of the class and he silently followed. They made it to the front of the class and positioned themselves, Sting gave the guy the cue and the music started. From what I'm hearing in the rhythm and music... they're doing Salsa! I recognized that dance a few seconds after the song started an they were good. The feet movement was exactly correct and they didn't lose their rhythm to the beat of the song. I have to say, I'm impressed. I smiled and gave a thumbs up to Sting who grinned. While I was giving him a thumbs up, I felt a dark aura around me. I decided to shake it off and ignore it for now and think about it later.
Rogue's POV
As bad as I want to know ans say this, but I'm jealous that Lucy is smiling and giving encouragement to Sting. He doesn't deserve any of this yet he gets it. Maybe I should ask Lucy to be my girlfriend, after all, we did kiss on the first day of practice. We have also been spending time together more frequently now. I could feel myself just wanting to hold her in my embrace and to share a kiss with her like before. Not long after, I realized that Sting;s dance was over and I saw Lucy clapping for him. Ugh, it's that jealousy again but I can;t blame her. Sting is her friend and a part of our group and he is my childhood friend. I can't blame him for falling for Lucy and trying to impress her, but I want to show him that I'm not some shy kid who is interested in nothing. I am more than that and I will prove it.
I tapped Lucy on her shoulder and she looked at me with a confused expression.
"Nani? What is it Rogue," she said in an angelic voice.
I hesitated but I managed to get myself to talk, "Lucy, I've been thinking. You're a beautiful girl with a big heart, I want to ask you to be my girlfriend." I was determined to get my answer and I looked at her with a serious expression. She seemed shocked but not as much as I thought she would., she then looked around then motioned me to come with her. I don't know what she's planning but I'm going to follow her.
She took me to the back of the locker rooms and she knows that hardly anyone comes back here, even if she has only spent a month here in Fairy High.
"Why the sudden question Rogue, you kind of surprised my there but I was kind of suspecting that would happen surprisingly," she softly said while tucking her hair behind her left ear. I was slightly shocked to hear her say that she expected me to ask her that but I shook that thought out of my head.
"So what is your answer, are you going to reject me for another or take me," I asked her with seriousness.
She was silent then looked up at me with teary eyes, I was shocked and I immediately ran to her and hugged her.
"N-nani, why are you crying? Was it something I said, gomenas-huh?" I asked in worry but I felt her hug me back. Her petite hands were on my back and I slightly blushed.
"N-no, I'm touched that you chose me to be your girlfriend, but I just can't do it," she tearilly said. I felt my heart breaking and me going mad, but I calmed down and hid my expression. I walked up to Lucy and grabbed her hands and held her against the wall, "Why? Why can't you take me, Lucy?"
My voice was breaking and I could tell that Lucy was dying inside.
"I-it's because my father doesn't accept you to be my loved one, and that he saw you kiss me on the first day of dance practice. He told me that I could still talk to you, but I can't be with you. Gomensai Rogue, but I, I, I-huh?" she cried but I embraced her again and held her head.
"Don't cry, everything will be alright Lucy. I'm sorry to bring up the subject, but I still want to be with you," I silently said while tilting my head down.
Lucy paused for a few short seconds but she quietly whispered, "No, we can be together."
I was startled and I let go of her and stared at her with a confused expression.
"Nani, what do you mean," I asked.
She looked hesitant but she closed her eyes and looked at me with a determined expression, "We can be together without my father knowing. In my home, I can guarantee you that I only trust my mother. The maids and butlers may be all kind and trustworthy but they work for my father and tell him everything about everything."
I listened then nodded my head in understanding, I then smiled slightly and walked up to Lucy and put my hand on the wall and leaned in to her, "This is going to be tricky, but being with you is good enough for me, ne?"
I saw her cheeks heat up and she nodded, "Hai, it's good enough for me...Rogue."
I smiled and we leaned in for a kiss, before I knew it...this was jsut the beginning of our long and twisted road.
