Chapter 4
"Seriously guys?!"
Gajeel screamed at his entire group of friends who were standing behind Levy.
Today was the day of Gajeel and Levy's supposed date at The Fairy Bar. But who knew that the rest of the group would come along as well.
"Come on, Gajeel! We didn't have anything to do!" Natsu said.
"This is payback for disrupting me and Yukino's date 2 months ago!" Loke exclaimed.
"We promise we'll leave you 2 alone after your performance." Erza pleaded.
"I personally don't mind. Anyway the more the merrier, right Gajeel?" Levy tried persuading the already looking pissed Gajeel.
"Tch. Fine."
"Well then! Let's go find a seat!" Gray said as he clapped his hands together.
"G-Good luck for your performace." Levy said.
Gajeel blushed slightly and replied, "T-Thanks a lot."
"They llllllllllike each other." Lucy teased.
"Shut up!" they both yelled in unison.
The Fairy Bar just opened business last year but it quickly got famous amongst the high school students in Magnolia, particularly students of Fairy Tail High. It was full of people every night, tonight was no exception. And of course, Lucy and friends were all dressed up for the night, looking hella good.
They quickly found a seat pretty near the bar's stage where Gajeel would be performing on so that they could get a good view.
"Wow there's so many people here." Lucy commented being the only who's never been to The Fairy Bar before.
"Students from Blue Pegasus High and Lamia Scale Academy come here as well! We could introduce you to some of them later on." Jellal said.
"I doubt she would wanna meet Ichiya though." Gray said.
"Who's Ichiya?" Lucy asked.
"WHAT EXQUISITE PARFUM!"
An orange-haired man suddenly appeared beside Lucy causing her to yelp in surprise.
"Ah there he is! He's Ichiya from Blue Pegasus High." Jellal introduced.
"W-Why is he sniffing me?" Lucy asked, clearly creeped out.
"He's a big fan of perfumes. Don't mind him, he's a nice guy!"
"Wait.. So this old dude is studying in Blue Pegasus High?" Lucy whispered to Erza.
"I'm not that old, I'm only 29!" Ichiya said.
"He fails his final exams every year so he's never gotten a chance to graduate." Erza shook her head disappointingly.
"Ah Erza! You have fine parfum like always, men!" Ichiya said while striking tons of different poses which triggered Erza to send him flying with a kick.
Erza coughed to draw back the attention. "Anyway, let's order some drinks."
"By drinks you mean a-alcohol?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah Lucy. Is there something wrong?" Loke asked.
"Aren't we under aged?"
"Nah no rules here!"
"I think I'll skip the alcohol, my tolerance is bad." Lucy looked slightly embarrassed.
"Gray and Erza knock out easily as well." Levy whispered to Lucy while giggling.
"Hey I heard that!"
After they ordered their drinks, a beautiful lady with long silver hair came walking over to them with their drinks.
"Here's your order!"
She looks really familiar.
"Thanks Mira. Lucy, this is Mirajane. She's Lisanna's older sister and she graduated from Fairy Tail High last year." Erza introduced.
"N-Nice to meet you!" Lucy greeted while obviously intrigued by her beauty.
"Nice to meet you too, Lucy! I heard a lot about you from Natsu!"
"Natsu?!"
"Yes! He told me that there's been a really interesting girl that joined Fairy Tail High recently!" Mirajane laughed while placing their drinks on the table.
Lucy looked over to Natsu who was seated with the girls of Mermaid Heel Academy 2 tables away from them.
I-Interesting?
Lucy didn't know whether to feel flattered or offended.
"Nee-chan! We need more manpower here!" an extremely muscular guy with the same silver hair called out to Mirajane.
"Anyway, enjoy your time here tonight! I have to get back to work, Elfman's calling me. It's full house right now!" just like that Mirajane rushed back to the bar counter.
"She's so nice unlike her sister." Gray said out of the blue.
"You mean Lisanna?" Lucy asked as she sipped on her orange juice.
"Yeah. That girl's a mean girl from hell!" Levy said.
"Thank god she and Natsu called it quits." Loke sighed, seemingly a little scared of Lisanna.
"I-Is that so?" Lucy asked. I wonder what she's really like.
"No comments." Erza said and Jellal just kept quiet.
Just then Natsu comes walking back to their table and taking a seat. "So what did I miss?"
"N-Not much." Lucy laughed nervously.
"I think Gajeel is gonna perform soon!" Natsu was excited.
"I don't know why but I have a bad feeling about this." Jellal said.
"It is Gajeel afterall." Erza continued as she took a bite from her strawberry cheesecake that appeared out of nowhere.
Just then, the lights in the bar dimmed and the spotlight shone onto a figure on stage. There Gajeel was, holding onto a guitar and dressed in a white tuxedo. This caused him to earn many shocked stares from the audience.
"Woah seriously Gajeel?!" Natsu exclaimed.
"This is a song I wrote myself. It's called Best Friend. I hope you like it." Gajeel spoke into the mic.
"Colourful, colourful...
shooby doo bop!
Tremble with love, steel grey metallic!"
Lucy and the entire group were completely flabbergasted, they just stared at him speechless while the entire bar went silent.
"Doo doo doo... Shalala...
shooby doo bop! Shalala...
Bite into it, hard! Sweet Honey..."
"I've never heard a song this crappy before!" Natsu shouted as he covered his ears with his hands and Gajeel threw his guitar towards Natsu's face.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
"I'M SHOOBY DOO BOPPING YOU JERK!" Gajeel pounced onto Natsu and the both of them started fighting in the middle of the bar.
Gray stood up and threw his beer cup at Natsu's head.
"NATSU WILL YOU STOP CAUSING A RUCKUS?!"
But at the same time he stood up, he unknowingly pushed Erza, which caused her favourite strawberry cheesecake to slip off her plate onto the floor.
"M-My... strawberry cheesecake..."
"LISTEN UP ALL OF YOU! REAL MEN DON'T MAKE SUCH A DAMN RACKET!" Elfman shouted and stepped on the strawberry cheesecake, causing Erza to get angered.
"WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING!" Erza shouted and she punched Elfman in the face.
"Someone stop these 2!" someone from the crowd called as he pointed at Natsu and Gajeel who were brawling on the floor.
And for some reason, everyone in The Fairy Bar were suddenly fighting with one another. Lucy just sat at her seat and watched as all of them beat each other up.
Gosh this reminds me of Fairy Tail High 2 years ago. I guess nothing has changed.
Lucy was amused yet she felt nostalgic. Without looking, she picked up a cup from the table and took a sip from the drink. Little did she know, that was Natsu's cup. She immediately noticed the difference in taste and looked at what was inside of it.
B-Bitter...
She blacked out.
Lucy slowly opened her eyes in reaction to the bright sunlight that was shining on her.
It's morning already?
She woke up and stretched her arms, finding herself in an unfamiliar apartment.
"Where am I?"
She got off the bed and when she put her feet on the floor, she stepped on something, making her jump up in shock.
"NATSU?!"
Natsu was sound asleep on the floor right beside the bed, snoring really loudly.
"Hey, Natsu. Wake up." Lucy shook him but Natsu didn't budge.
She scratched her head and walked to the living room. There she saw Erza, with Gray and Loke asleep on the sofa.
"Oh Lucy, you're awake." Erza said.
"Morning Erza! What happened last night?"
"Well..."
-flashback starts-
"Lucy are you ok?!" Natsu shook Lucy violently to try wake her up.
"Don't be so rough on her! I think she drank alcohol by accident." Levy said.
"She fainted with just that little bit?!" Gajeel asked.
"We'll take care of her until we leave. Gajeel and Levy, it's alright if the both of you want to have your own space now." Erza said.
"Alright then. Everyone please take good care of Lu-chan!"
Levy and Gajeel then left the bar to have a one to one dinner.
3 hours later...
"Gurayyyy youu suuuck!" Natsu screamed in a drunken voice.
"Do you want me to beat you to a pulp, you idiot?!" Gray retaliated.
"So now Lucy, Loke and Jellal are unconscious and Natsu's drunk." Erza shook her head.
"I think it's time we head back. But how are we gonna carry all of them back to their homes?"
"How about we head to Natsu's place and spend the night? It's the nearest to The Fairy Bar."
"Good idea. Luckily I still have his spare keys."
Erza picked Jellal up and Gray tried carrying both Lucy and Loke.
"Luuushiiiii I'm carrying youuu home! Cooome ooon..." Natsu flung Lucy's entire body over his shoulders.
"H-Hey Natsu!"
-flashback ends-
"Natsu did what?!"
"He insisted on carrying you back here even though he could barely walk straight. And after he placed you on his bed he fell asleep on the floor." Erza continued.
This made Lucy blush really hard.
"Wait why are you in sports attire?" Lucy asked.
"I just came back from a morning jog." Erza started stretching her legs.
"Only you would have the mood for a jog at 8 in the morning."
"Well, I am the student council president afterall."
.
.
.
"A-Anyway, where are the rest?" Lucy quickly changed the topic.
"I don't know about Gajeel and Levy but Jellal headed home to prepare for school."
"Oh shit! I totally forgot we have school! And class starts at 9!"
Lucy quickly put on her shoes and rushed out of Natsu's apartment, running back to her own.
Lucy only reached school at 9.30am, walking into her class embarrassed.
"How are you feeling, Lu-chan? You completely knocked out last night!" Levy asked concernedly.
"I'm alright! Just a little tired. Loke seems unwell though."
Lucy looked at Loke who was seated beside her, holding onto his head as if the world was ending.
"My head hurts..."
"Well it seems that the ones who supposedly have a high alcohol tolerance are having hangovers." Lucy giggled a little.
"This is why I'm the student council president!" Erza remarked.
.
.
.
-At the cafeteria-
"I think my head is going to split..." Jellal said.
"I feel like puking again..." Natsu held onto his stomach.
Erza handed some tea to Jellal to help him feel better while Gray was just hitting Natsu's back, which was probably doing more bad than good.
"Tch. Noobs." Gajeel said.
"I'm going to the toilet to freshen up..." Natsu got up slowly and shuffled his feet to the toilet.
Lucy watched as he left and she decided to wait for him outside of the toilet.
Natsu walked out and he saw Lucy.
"Hey Luce! What's up?"
"Are you feeling any better?"
"Not really..."
"T-Thank you." Lucy said and looked away blushing.
"Huh? What for?" Natsu looked puzzled.
"For carrying me to your house and letting me sleep on your bed."
"I did that? No wonder I was sleeping on the floor!"
"W-Wait. You don't remember anything?"
"Nope. My mind is completely blank."
Lucy being touched by Natsu's actions was immediately turned off once again.
This guy is hopeless.
Just then, a familiar figure walked towards them.
"Hey Natsu! It's been awhile." a certain silver haired girl approached them.
"Hey Lisanna." Natsu greeted without even smiling.
"Oh and if it isn't Lucy."
"H-Hi." Lucy said.
"I've been hearing your name around school a lot. You're pretty popular huh?" Lisanna had a hint of sarcasm in her words.
"Not really-"
"Anyway what are you doing here?" Natsu interrupted.
"I was just taking a walk around school!" Lisanna said with a smile.
"Well Lucy and I were just about to leave. Enjoy your walk." Natsu grabbed Lucy arm and dragged her away.
Lucy still clueless about what was going on, looked back at Lisanna who gave her an unreadable expression. She had to admit that she was pretty scared.
"Natsu, what's going on?" Lucy asked.
"It's nothing. Just be careful of Lisanna alright? She can get nasty." Natsu warned.
Lucy just nodded.
"Let's head back to the rest!" Natsu said.
School had ended but Lucy still couldn't get the Lisanna incident off her mind, Natsu didn't talk much after that either.
I hope he's okay.
As Lucy was packing up her bag to leave, Levy came over to her seat.
"Lu-chan! Do you wanna go buy some chocolate?"
"Chocolate?"
"You see.. Valentine's day is coming up! Erza and I were planning to go get some chocolate and we wanted you to come with us as well!"
"But I don't have anyone I wanna give chocolate to." Lucy laughed nervously.
"It's alright, just come with us!"
-At the chocolate shop-
"They sure are getting ready for Valentine's day."
Lucy, Erza and Levy walked into the chocolate shop that was decorated with pink hearts everywhere. Even their chocolate was packed in heart-shaped gift boxes.
"They're so pretty!" Lucy said in awe.
"I wonder what kind of chocolate Jellal would like." Erza said as she walked down the aisles.
"Do you think Gajeel would like dark chocolate?" Levy asked.
Lucy just walked around aimlessly and looking at the different kinds of chocolate the shop has.
"It would be nice if I had someone to give chocolate to."
"I think if you gave chocolates to Loke he would be very happy." Erza teased.
"I-I can't do that! He's just a good friend! I can't have him getting the wrong idea." Lucy's face started turning red.
"What about Gray? He's still single." Levy suggested.
"No way." Lucy shook her head in displeasure.
Lucy walked to the last aisle of the shop and a certain gift box caught her eye. It was a red glittery heart-shaped box with a gold ribbon tied around it. Inside of it had many different flavours of chocolate.
It's so pretty.
The shopkeeper noticed Lucy staring at the box of chocolates and walked towards her.
"Planning to buy this for your boyfriend?"
"W-What?! I don't have a boyfriend! Well actually I don't have any guy that I'd like to give chocolates to." Lucy said.
"Hmm, why don't you just get it first if you really like it and on Valentine's day itself you could just wait and see who you would wanna give it to?" the shopkeeper kindly suggested.
"I guess that could work as well, I'll buy it then!"
The 3 of them left the shop finally to head home.
"I hope Gajeel likes these! Anyway, Lu-chan. Since you bought chocolates, have you decided who you wanna give them to?" Levy asked.
"Not really..."
"What?! Me?!"
"Yes Lu-tan! I've had a crush on you ever since I first saw you! It was love at first sight and even if you don't feel the same way... I still hope you would accept my chocolates!" Dan confessed to Lucy.
Lucy was left completely shocked by the sudden confession of one of her secret admirers.
"Well... I guess I'll accept it then. Thank you..." Lucy slowly took the chocolates from Dan's hands.
"YES! LU-TAN ACCEPTED MY CHOCOLATES!" Dan shouted as he ran away.
School has barely even started and Lucy was already receiving chocolates from random guys, some she's never even seen before. She sighed as she knew that it was gonna be an interesting yet tiring day. She walked into class to see everybody really hyped up about Valentine's day.
"Oh, Lu-chan!" Levy ran towards Lucy.
"Have you given your chocolates to Gajeel?" Lucy asked as she placed her bag on her table.
"Not yet. I haven't seen him around school! What about you, Lu-chan?"
"My chocolates are still here. Maybe I won't find anyone to give them to." Lucy laughed.
"Don't say that Lu-chan! I'm pretty sure there's at least one guy that caught your eye!"
"Anyway! Class is starting so I'll talk to you later, Levy!" Lucy avoided the topic.
During Mr. Gildarts' class, Lucy was paying close attention and was really into the class until Loke whispered to her.
"Hey Lucy."
Lucy turned to look at him with a confused look. And then, Loke handed her a box of chocolates.
"Loke-"
"For being a great friend. I won't take no for an answer."
Lucy knew she couldn't reject it so she took the chocolates from him. She blushed slightly and gave him a sweet smile.
"Thank you."
"Lucy! Loke! Pay attention!"
"Yes sir!"
Lucy walked along the hallways of Fairy Tail High after school as she watched many people exchanging boxes of chocolate with one another. Many seemingly becoming couples after that. She even saw Gray getting chased around by a blue haired girl with chocolates in her hand and shouting "Gray-sama!" Levy and Gajeel had already given each other chocolates, so did Erza and Jellal.
She had to admit that on the inside, she did feel a little lonely.
It was already evening but Lucy did not feel like heading home, so she made her way to the soccer field and sat on the spectators area beside it. She watched the soccer players actively kicking the soccer ball around.
Lucy then took out the box of chocolates that she had bought the other day out of her school bag and stared at it. She was rather disappointed.
"What's the point of Valentine's day when you're receiving so much chocolate but not giving away any?" Lucy said to herself and she sighed.
"I guess I won't be giving them to anybody. Should I throw these away or eat them myself?"
"Come on, don't let such a nice gift go to waste!"
Lucy heard a familiar voice behind her and turned around, only to see a certain salmon haired boy.
"Natsu..."
Hi readers! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of She's Got Me Twisted. I just had to add in one of my favourite fairy tail scenes of Gajeel singing in here because it was hilarious! And very fairy tail like! No hate to Lisanna by the way, I just decided to use her as the mean character.
I'm going to apologize beforehand that I won't be able to update as often because school started and I have lots of work on hand! But I will still try my best to update new chapters asap! Nonetheless, please leave a good review and look forward to the next chapter ^~^
