Lucy POV - chapter two

The deafening sound of Levy's alarm clock made me jump up too quickly from my sleeping position. A loud thunk! was made and with that, I had hit my knee on the wall next to me. "Ow, ow ow…" I cried softly, only to notice Plue was sitting at the base of my bed. Automatically I brightened up, gesturing with my hand for him to come over to me. "C'mere Plue~! I hurt myself and I need a hug!" I spoke in a cutesy voice, one in which someone usually did when talking to babies or pets, but like usual Plue didn't budge. Instead he simply mewed and jumped down from my upper bunk, plopping down onto the alarm clock fortunately turning it off. I simply sighed and leaned over the bed rail, seeing how Levy-chan was still asleep despite the clock having gone off. Honestly, had she been reading again? That girl never did stop, always reading until the sun would start to show, and then sleeping all the day. But soon that would have to change. Levy couldn't do that anymore, not the 'home-school' way. She would have to get up, whether she liked it or not. With swiftness I got down from my bed and with gusto, I pulled the sheets off the petite bluenette, revealing her dumb, smiling face. She was probably having a nice dream, which would soon end. Slowly the girl's eyes opened and I laughed, seeing the change in Levy's eyes. It was first a daze, then the cruel reality started to set in that she had to go to school. To me, waking up was still a drag but over time you got used to it. But to Levy it was a first in many years that she had to wake up early. "Rise and shine missy! We got school, first day. We gotta hurry if we're going to make the train! " And like that I saw the bookworm jump up and started to prepare herself. Fairy Academy dorms and the actual building were connected by a train system, which was also used for the public. But the majority was students. I knew Levy would hate be late, I myself not minding taking my time. I too though began to get ready, excited for the first day. First impressions were everything. Yes, I knew the majority of people at the school since I had been going there since freshman year, but there were always new people joining, like lil miss Levy here. But if I had to be honest, all my beautification efforts were all for one reason. To catch even the slightest of glimpses of Natsu Dragneel.

The very thought of him caused my heart to beat quicker. His pink hair – what a lovely colour. His grinning face, no matter where and when, it was always there. He was liked by everybody, and those who did dislike him eventually came to like him. Only ever play fighting with his best friends, I had never actually seen him in a real fight, unlike Laxus and Gajeel. But now, every time I thought about Natsu, I also thought about her. Lisanna Strauss. She had been a childhood friend of Natsu and had eventually moved away apparently. She had come back only just recently; a month after the sophomores had graduated. And over the summer, I had received news that the two had started dating. Or rather, rumor. They always were close, and still even now hang around each other. I like to say my sources are pretty accurate but, you never know with Juvia. I had met her sophomore year, a transfer student. She was a bit weird, but we eventually became close after finding out we both liked one of the school idols, a common trait throughout the school's female population. Though at one point Juvia believed I liked Gray as well, but quickly that was resolved as I told her I liked Natsu. But even now, it's not uncommon for her to remind me Gray will and always be hers and I should stay away – which I always end up reassuring her it's not him that I like. Juvia had become my inside person, ever since she became part of the newspaper club. I believe she uses the excuse to get closer to Gray, but she wasn't the only one who thought about doing that. Like I said, the boys are the school IDOLS, and common people like me, can only dream about getting close to them. I sighed and finished up changing, happy that I had showered the night before. The changing of tie colours cheered me up, a happy reminder that I was only a year away from graduating. I wasn't worried about finding a job, since I would most likely get one inside my father's company. I was a Heartfilia after all. I looked over my shoulder to see Levy struggling to fit into her shoes. Her hair was slightly wet, probably from not blow drying it properly. Her eyes were focused on her shoes, tying them tightly so that they might not fall off. Her petite body build also meant tiny feet, and the school's smallest size was a 7. She was a 6. I saw her pout and patted her back. "Don't worry, just wear some sneakers instead and fill out a form for custom shoes." Levy simply frowned at the word 'custom' and simply told me that she would just have to deal with the shoes for now. Every time she walked I could see the shoe slowly slip away from her feet, and I could barely hold in my laughter. "Yeah yeah, laugh it off Lu-chan. C'mon, let's go." The bookworm grumbled unhappily as we took off. I smiled, happy to see my best friend and I wear matching uniforms now. I was always sad not seeing Levy at school, but now here we were, walking to the train together. Her blue hair flowed over her shoulders in cute layers, a white and blue headband over her head. I wore my hair in pigtails, but I quickly pulled them out, letting my hair just fall straight down. I always second guessed myself when it came to appearance. And it was all because of him But, I knew how it would end. My love never reaching him, my feelings never heard. It was like a celebrity crush. They don't know you exist, but you still like them. I wasn't like Juvia, who went so far as to join a club just so she could stalk Gray. She's so fanatic that now, even Gray knows her! But probably not in a good way. After two years of watching Natsu from afar, I realize that we might go to the same school, but we live in two different worlds. And I'm okay with that. It will always been a one sided fascination…always. Right?

Love it? Hate it? Review it! I would love yo know you all's opinion! For now it's going to flip through the characters point of views between Levy and Lucy, and gradually go through the rest. Around chapter 4 or 5 i think we see someone new... but who?!
