Lucy POV - chapter seven

Lucy POV - chapter seven

Lucy could see Juvia and Levy behind Natsu, their faces smirking; laughing at her. She made a note of getting back at them later but for right now she had to get through chatting with Natsu without looking like an idiot! "You, know my name?" Lucy was shocked. After a year, he still remembered her? They only had one class together last year, and they hadn't spoken a word. Well, it was my fault… but… Lucy blocked away the memories and realized she was unconsciously shaking his hand. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry! I uh… kinda zoned out for a bit." She laughed, but her inner self was scolding her harshly. Pfft, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT LUCY. 'Oh, IM SORRY. Don't mind me while I MOLEST your hand for more than five minutes!?' To Lucy's surprise, all Natsu did was laugh. "Haha, it's fine. Uh yeah, on your desk we have name cards since; it's first day n all…" He explained, but his expression made it look like he wanted to say something else along with it. Lucy was starting to worry now. She didn't want to talk about that, like right here right now. Oh please don't bring up last year… please don't… If Natsu did, she couldn't bare lie to his face. She would never straight out lie to him. Which was one of the reason why she would sometimes straight up ignore him. Lucy would rather be silent than say something false and say something that would hurt the both of them in the end. "Lucy… do you remember last ye-" "Ooh, Natsu~! I got your bento here! Sorry it took a while, sensai wanted me to… Oh." The group looked over to see who had just arrived, and that was when Lucy really started to panic. But somehow she was grateful for the intrusion, never thinking the words Saved by Lisanna , would pass her mind. They all could see Lisanna's face change to total disgust when she saw them, only Lucy knowing it was because of her. But quickly her face changed into a bright smile, the one that looked almost too happy. "Natsu, are you bothering these girls for food? C'mere, I already got you covered." She giggled and waved with her hand for him to come over. But to everyone's surprise he didn't move. Instead he took Lucy's hand and replied to Lisanna, his usual voice light suddenly turning serious. "Sorry Lis, I need to talk to Lucy.. in private for abit." He smiled and began pulling Lucy away. No… No.. let go… please. Not like this, not in front of her. It'll be like last time…I can't handle it for another time… Lucy's eyes began to moisten, but no tears fell. Instead she looked down to avoid eye contact and quickly stopped in her tracks, pulling her hand away. She did it so fast and suddenly, it almost sounded like she had slapped his hand. Natsu stood there stunned, but Lucy looked away unable to read his face. She didn't want Lisanna to misunderstand. She needed to avoid Natsu, just like last year and everything would be okay. She realized that nothing had been said and so she tried her best to quickly recompose herself. "Ahh, Gomen Natsu! I have to go and… erase the boards before class starts! Maybe, another time…" She hid her eyes behind her long blonde bangs and quickly turned away to go indoors. She speed walked, and before long she started to full on sprint, not caring how others were looking at her.

As she made it to her class hallway, instead of going to her room she entered an empty one. She shut the door behind her and slowly slid down it with her back. She was blushing ear to ear, embarrassed on how she acted with Natsu, how she acted in front of everyone and how she ran away like a coward. She thought she was stronger than this by now. It was all in sophomore year, when some girls had noticed how close Lucy and Natsu were getting. These girls were the bitch Lisanna's underlings. Lisanna had moved away, but even still her presence in the school was still there, though the eyes of those girls…. Images flashed in Lucy's mind, and she only curled up more into a fetal position. Tears were streaming down her face, and small whimpers escaped her lips. She didn't want to remember, but they would always reappear now and then. Suddenly, the support of the door slide from behind and she tumbled backwards, not having any time to fix her face. She let out a small cry, scared that it might be Lisanna. "Lucy! Oh my god are you okay? C'mere…" Levy's small arms wrapped around her crying best friend. Lucy simply cried more, and even she wasn't sure for what now. She was happy to have a friend like Levy, and even the crazy Juvia who was instructing passbyers to walk around the girls. "T-thank you… Levy… Juvia." She whispered, rubbing her eyes to wipe away the salty liquid. She got stares from the girls, and she knew the girls wanted answers. But she knew if she told them the truth, they would make a huge deal out of it. Levy probably going to the police while Juvia wrote horrible things about Lisanna and her group in the newspaper. But Lucy wouldn't want that. She didn't want to stoop that low. Lucy's small mouth smiled, slowly standing up. "It's fine girls… the dust in this room was... overwhelming.." She knew the girls were smart enough to know she was lying, but because of that they also knew she didn't want to talk about it. The trio walked into the bathroom so that Lucy could fix her makeup. After that, as they walked out of the restrooms the bell for the second half of the day rung. Levy jumped up startling Lucy and Juvia. "Oh crap! I- I need to go! Senpai is going to skin me if I'm late!" The petite pixie ran off, and left Lucy and Juvia to laugh. Their classroom teacher was more lenient than most, probably because they were placed in a lower class level. "Juvia is going to class now, come with?" But Lucy shook her head. "Um ,I think I'm going to skip this one. " Juvia hesitated but simply nodded, returning to her classroom. Lucy sighed, and looked around. The hallway was now empty, voices from the surrounding room quiet because of the walls. She began to make the long walk to the top floor, and found herself in front a huge iron door. With a small struggle, she pushed it open and in front of her was revealed: the roof. She smiled as a large warm breeze, the kind you got after a rain storm hit her. It welcomed her onto the roof and she smiled as she walked onto it. Large fences encircled the square area, so as she walked up to it she leaned on it. She could see the Fairy Academy dorms for both girls and boys. She could see the train as it went to and thro. She giggled as she saw someone trip, and suddenly found herself laughing, hard. She felt like she was laughing like a maniac, but she didn't care, no one was there to see. She laughed about how stupid she was in front of Natsu, and how silly she reacted when Lisanna was there. Lucy Heartfilia, you need to grow a pair! She chanted in her mind several times. It would be different than last time. Because this time she had friends like Levy and Juvia, and that's all she needed. She slowly whispered out the phrase, each time being louder than the last. Finally she yelled out at the top of her lungs, laughing. "LUCY HEARTFILIA, YOU NEED TO GROW A PAIR!"

Gray POV

Gray had made it back to the classroom , after being scared off by Gajeel to leave him alone. He watched as the bell rang and almost everyone was back into class. The only ones missing where Gajeel, Natsu and Lucy. Juvia had just arrived and waved at Gray, taking her seat right after. Gray began to wonder where that flame brain had went off too, and asked the question aloud, not really caring who answered. "Hey, where did Natsu go to?" He saw the minds of several people think, but then Juvia finally answered. "Juvia last saw Natsu-kun going to the roof." The roof? The only way one can go to the roof was by going up all those flights of stairs, or climbing the outside ladder. Which Natsu was probably dumb enough to take the latter of those two choices. Stupid idiot, what's the point of going up there? Nothing interesting to see.

Love it? Hate it? Review it! To clarify, The ladder takes much shorter time to get on the roof haha. And the only reason why Juvia knows where Natsu went is because she saw him climb... So yeah. Anyways, I AM taking request of which character i should POV. Please no OC characters, only Canon. Chapter 8 will be Levy POV and than after that, chapter 9 will be up to you guys! Sooo yayy haha. Thank you so much for the favorites/followers/and reviews! Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
