Lucy tapped her pen restlessly, as her novel laid untouched. She hasn't talked to Natsu since about two weeks ago, and she was beginning to feel bad. Lucy sighed and put her novel away before reaching for her phone. She had gotten close to five thousand texts from Natsu, but she never responded.

She had school again tomorrow, and she knew that Natsu would be at work (unless he skipped). Tired and frustrated, Lucy changed into her sleeping clothes, brushed her teeth, and laid on her bed.

She would forget about that pink haired clown, one way or another.

~X~

The next day, Lucy had woken up refreshed and ready for school. Changing into her uniform, she left her apartment slightly early because she didn't want to run into Natsu. When she noticed that no one was watching her, she sighed to herself.

Ten minutes later, she saw the school in the distance and ran towards it. When she entered through the gates (as usual) the many other students greeted her like royalty.

"Ohayo Lucy-sama!" Lucy flashed each of them a sweet smile which caused the boys to surround her.

"Lucy-chan, please go on a date with me!"

"No, go on a date with me!"

"Please accept these chocolates, Lucy-chan."

Lucy let out a breath as the many chocolates and flowers were shoved in her face. She opened her mouth to speak, when someone else spoke up.

"Oi, what the hell do you guys think you're doing?" His voice demanding, and slightly irritated causing Lucy to turn around. She found none other than the Natsu Dragneel behind her. He was different though, and she didn't mean in a good way. He had bags under his eyes, and his hair was messy compared to his usual spikes. He gave the crowd of boys a glare, causing them to scramble off.

Soon, there was only Lucy, Natsu, and one of Lucy's fan boys that still remained. Natsu looked at Lucy, his eyes filled with hurt and confusion. He opened his mouth to speak, but Lucy cut him off.

"Dan, right?" She asked the last boy remaining, causing his heart to soar.

"Yes, Lulu!" Natsu watched their little interaction, and something bubbled in the put of his stomach.

"I'll go on a date with you," When the words had left her lips, Natsu felt his heart broke. He watched as the other boy jumped excitedly, and seemed to have nearly fainted. "Pick me up on Saturday at three." The boy nodded, and rushed off, boasting to his friends about how he had gotten a date with the Lucy Heartfilia.

Lucy turned to walk away, when Natsu grabbed onto her wrist.

"Luce..."

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at work?" Her ice cold tone caused him to flinch slightly, but he kept his hold on her wrist.

"I came here to talk to you," His statement surprised her, but Lucy kept her composer.

"Well I have nothing to say to you, good bye." She tugged her wrist out of his hand and began to walk into the school. Natsu watched as Lucy grew further away, and decided that he had to do something. Panicked, Natsu rushed up to her and pulled her into a hug from behind.

"Please don't leave me, Luce." His voice shaking, as he almost whimpered like a lost puppy. He felt Lucy relax into the hug, and thought that she had forgiven him. He was wrong.

In a flash, Natsu was on the ground, holding his now red cheek. Lucy's hand stung a little from the impact, but she could care less.

"Why don't you go back to your girlfriend?" Her questioned stunned him, as he was unable to say anything. Since when did he have a girlfriend? "I'm just sick and tired of people lying to me all the time. Am I really that fun to tease around with?" Lucy turned around, and flashed him a sickly sweet smile.

"And do me a favor, Natsu," He felt a bit of hope rise in him, but was quickly demolished.

"Go to hell."

During lunch, Lucy found things to be even more awkward.

"So Lucy," Her friend, Mira brought up. "How are you and Natsu going?"

The question caused her to freeze, and her friends seemed to notice that it had brought unpleasant memories. Lucy forced a smile.

"We're fine," She lied, even though all of her friends saw through her white lie. Levy, whom had been with her during that little 'scene' felt bad for her best friend immediately.

"Lucy-" Gray started, but stopped when Juvia shook her head slightly. Gray nodded at her gestured at sat back down in his chair. Feeling the awkward tension, Levy decided to change the subject, much to the relief of everyone.

"So, Lu-chan. Have you read the book The Fault in Our Stars?" Lucy broke out of her trance and nodded at her best friend. Soon, the two bookworms were talking non-stop about the book (that was also a movie).

The group let out a sigh of relief when Lucy was back to her old self, but they couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with Lucy.

~X~

That whole school day, Lucy was thinking about what she had said to Natsu. She began to feel like she went too hard on him, and it made her chest hurt. Lucy shook her head. No, he had deserve the treatment she had given him.

Levy noticed that Lucy was distracted the whole day, and decided to ask her what had happened between her and Natsu.

"Ne Lu-chan, did something happen with you and Natsu?" Levy asked, seeing Lucy tense up at the mention of Natsu. When she didn't reply, Levy asked her again.

"Is it because of what we saw the last time we were out?" Lucy looked away, and seemed to be in a trance.

"I don't want to talk about it, Levy-chan." Lucy finally said, careful to choose her words. "I'm hurt and confused right now, I just need time to think."

Levy nodded understandingly, while Lucy had a small smile on her face. Lucy stood up, and walked toward the door. She turned around slightly and waited for her best friend.

"Anyways shall we go home now?"

Sorry for not updating in a while, I was just super lazy...

*SPOILER* Honestly, the anime kind of pissed me off. How could they portray Future Lucy as a liar?! I was waiting for that Nalu moment (which did happen) but I felt like in the manga it was better. Honestly, I kind of really want to see the episode where future Lucy dies so I can see Natsu's reaction... I feel like a cruel person. Sorry I spoiled anything for anyone (even though it says 'SPOILER' at the beginning).

Anyways I know I made Lucy's character kind of like a bitch in this chapter, but some of the people whom reviewed the previous chapter said that they wanted Natsu a bit hurt or whatever so I decided to add it in. I hope you guys don't mind the minor drama.
