Lucy's POV

It's the first day of the week and my first day as a slave.

I still can't believe I became the slave of that... that... that guy! Why didn't I just declined? Why should I even decline? I don't have the money to pay him.

I ate my breakfast, took a bath, and of course, glamorized myself. Although I didn't need to since I'm not attractive. I mean, I'm not ugly, but they call me ugly because I have braces, wear thick glasses, and my uniform is twice my size. It's because... I'm a nerd.

If you're wondering why I don't glamorize myself, it's because being a nerd is my comfort zone.

I also washed the polo of that guy, how irritating. It's because of this polo, I became that guy's slave.

"Mom, I'm off to school! Goodbye!" I kissed my mom by the cheek and left the house.


Where is that Natsu Dragneel?! This university's too big. Wait, what is his college building? For sure he's also a 4th year student.

I'll just ask someone. The question is who? I don't even know these people. I'll just ask that guy since he doesn't seem to be busy at all. He's just standing and leaning against a tree.

"Hello. Can I ask a question? D-Do you know the building of N-Natsu Dragneel?" The guy just gave me a weird look.

"For what? Do I look like lost and found?" Okay, he's so grouchy.

"Never mind. Such a grouch." I turned around but I was shocked when he grabbed me by the hand.

"Me, a grouch? Not really. Why did you even made the effort to ask me? Do you have a crush on me? You made Natsu the reason just so you can talk to me, didn't you? Haha."

Come again? I have a crush on him? Him? He's not even... okay, he's handsome, fair, so what? So arrogant.

"Not really. I'm just asking. Let go of me already. Nice talking, huh?!" I ran so that he wouldn't follow me.

I looked at all the students and was surprised they were staring at me.

"OMG. She talked to him."
"She's such a flirt."
"She's a nerd, yet she's flirting with him!"
"How dare she talk to Sting?!"
"It's because she's a flirt!"

I shrugged it off. They should just talk to him too! Just who did I talked to again? Sting? Wait...

Sting Eucliffe? The basketball player? The best friend of Natsu Dragneel? That was so embarrassing!
