Where we left off:

"Sure, I can give you a hand." I turned towards her and we started working. She was surprisingly easy to talk to, but what didn't go unnoticed was the stare that I was getting from somewhere in front of me. It was from a girl with white hair and blue eyes. She was stunning to say the least. I sighed and kept my head down, helping Levy with Math. Soon the class was over and I would have Chemistry. This was going to be an oddly stressful day considering I know nothing about Chem. I just would have to pray that I have a good partner.

LUCY

When Math ended Levy was still talking to me and conversation with her got easier and easier as time went on. We even went on to talk about our favorite books and movies. It turned out we had the same tastes as well. I mean, who doesn't like a little Harry Potter in their lives. We both shared the same interests in writing and reading and it also turned out that we had the same English class, which was a blessing for me. English was going to be so much easier with at least one person she knew.

The bell rang and I packed up my things and waved goodbye to Levy before disappearing around a corner to go to Chemistry. All great relationship ended up in Chem rooms apparently. Lucy was always ready for a new challenge, but this is one thing she didn't get to learn at home. When the bell rang again she still hadn't found her way to class yet and so she filled with panic. Not only was it her first day, but she was late. This was absolutely terrible.

A few minutes later she finally got to the room and all eyes were on her. The teacher was the first to speak up, "Ah, Lucy. Welcome to class. You can sit in that free seat over there."

"Sorry I'm late Mr. Conbolt. Big school. New areas." I said softly and then smiled and went to go sit down. Well, at least he didn't make me say anything. Though a new level of panic set in when I realized just who I was sitting next to. It was a big looking guy with black hair and piercings everywhere. The sight almost made her want to swallow her own tongue. On the other side of her was a girl with purple hair and had a kind looking aura. Later I learned their names to be Gajeel and Laki. Little did I know that after I came in another boy waltzed in right behind me with Gajeel scoffing and muttering, "Never could read a clock now could you, Pyro?"

I sighed, this was going to be one hell of a day. I didn't want to know why they called him pyro, or why he seemed so happy. The only thing is he sat right in front of me and the only thought on my head was to pray that I have the strength to deal with this school, "Well, it's not like you could either, Iron Giant." From what I could tell, It came in the direction of the pyro and it made Gajeel's eyebrow twitch.

I thought it best if I move back that was until someone's calloused hand landed on my desk. It was Pyro's. The whole ordeal was cut off by a red head sitting in front of the pink haired boy, who later introduced herself as Erza, "Natsu, if you don't shut up I. will. cut. you."

That was when my head went a little fuzzy, there was no way Erza could've possibly said Natsu, right? I felt like I was going to be sick. I pinched the bridge of my nose and took a deep breath. As I heard a voice and a face look at me. I looked at Natsu who seemed to be worried about me, "You look a little pale are you alright?"

I struggled to answer because I was starting to feel dizzy, "Y-yeah, I'm fine. I think first day stress is just getting to me that or the lack of good sleep. Who knows?" I smiled and it didn't seem to reach my eyes.

"Maybe you should go to the nurse? You look like you are abo-" Natsu was quickly cut off as I lost all consciousness. When I woke up I was on a bed in the nurses office. My hand went to my head only to see tears had fell down my cheeks while I was asleep. I felt so disoriented. I looked around the room and to my surprise Natsu was there. I must've looked like a mess because he looked slightly uncomfortable, "Well, you are finally awake. You slept through most of Chem. Turns out I'm your lab partner, so teach wanted me to stay with you and make sure you were okay. You fainted on us."

I sat up and flinched slightly, glad to hear that I wasn't out too long, but I was probably going to hear about this later, "I never introduced myself properly to you. I'm Lucy. Nice to meet you." I smiled and saw that he still hadn't connected the pieces of the puzzle like I had, "Thanks for helping me out. I didn't mean to drag you into that."

"Don't worry about it. I'm Natsu, it's a pleasure to meet you." He grinned and I melted harder than I ever had watching him through a screen, "Besides, I couldn't leave you here alone. Not while you were crying." He spoke silently.

I was crying. He was watching me sleep. It wasn't uncommon for me to wake up in tears, but I mostly hid my emotions from everyone, "Guess I had a sad dream when I was out then." I said in a numb kind of way.

"I guess so. It's not so unnatural though. Happens to everyone, right?" He smiled and walked up to me, "Listen, I'll be here for you whenever you want someone to talk to. I'm not really good with words, but I can help you out in anyway that I can." He said confidently.

"Thanks, Natsu."

"No problem, Luigi. Let's get back to class." He smirked and then I glared at him.

"It's Lucy, thank you very much." I hit his arm with a playful fist and then got out of the hospital looking bed, "I hope I didn't make you miss anything important."

"Don't be silly, we just finished a lab anyways, so really. I think we are okay." He smiled and then helped her back to class. He let her walk in first and he followed quickly behind in case I toppled over again. Clearly it hadn't registered in his head that this was the Lucy he had been stalking on all social media.

"Seriously, Natsu, I appreciate the help, but it isn't necessary." I sighed and then looked down like there was nothing better to look at and that's when it happened. That's when the most awkward comment of my entire life occurred.

"So, uh, Luigi, want to eat lunch with me? The stripper is going out with his girlfriend, so I'm alone for lunch and I like making new friends." He spoke so casually it hurt me on a level where almost no one did anymore and it cut deep.

I hesitated and then sighed, "I can't." I simply answered like it didn't even matter, "I still have to unpack my stuff. I only got my things in my room before I had to run to class. I'm sorry." Of course I was lying as I was looking him straight in the eye and I never had been a good liar.

"Well, I can help you out if you want." He smirked and I sputtered. He had no reason to smirk unless she was that easy to read.

"No, t-that's okay. I really just need time to myself to get settled in. I mean, it's not like I'm going anywhere, right? I'll be here tomorrow." I rubbed the back of my neck hoping that he wasn't offended by the fact that I really just wanted to be alone right now, but I also had a feeling that he was going to lurk nearby anyways. He seemed like the type of guy.

"Eh, whatever you say Luigi." He shrugged and then opened the door for me. There were around ten minutes left in class and everyone was working silently. We talked to the teacher really quick and then I noticed eyes on me and I starred at the ground.

Talk about first day stress. My favorite YouTuber in my school. He seemed so nice and so normal little did I know that during Lunch things were going to change.

I was organizing my locker in the hall when all of a sudden I felt eyes on me. I was suddenly missing home. I missed the security of having loneliness as my only friend. I missed the soft whisper of the wind in the morning and the echo of the halls at night. Things most definitely were changing. It didn't take long for Natsu to show up and try to pull a few strings, "Luigi! Hey, lunch with my friends and I. You in?" He asked leaning against the locker next to mine as I kept fiddling with things.

"Jeez, my name is Lucy and I told you I can't. It would be to awkward for me." I whispered, ducking my head down in silence, "Besides, there is something I decided i actually have to do. So, I'm really sorry." I said, closing my locker and looking at him. His eyes seemed to widen a little bit in reaction to it.

"Nothing is awkward here. We are all technically friends. Even if you don't want to be the whole montra of this school is the concept of family." He spoke softly, "Has been ever since I can remember."

"What a nice concept." I commented and then the lonely expression hopped onto my face, "Family. Wonder what it real- I-I should go." I said turning on my heel and walking as fast as I could towards my dorm room, muttering to herself, "I can't believe I almost said that." I started running and I ran straight into Gray, "Oof!"

"Hey, watch out! Are you alright?" Gray asked with concern on his face, as he helped me off the floor and helped pick up a bunch of scattered papers, "Sheet music?"

"Uh, yeah. I guess you could say I'm working on somewhat of an original song? It's a long story and I shouldn't get into it." I said, snatching the paper from the boy, "I have somewhere I need to be. I see you around, Gray." I smiled and then ran around him. When I got to my room I hid the music and I started setting up my recording stuff. I then went onto tumblr and I made a post.

Hey my precious little stars! Well, school has been weird. It's lunch time so I'm chilling out and thought I'd say hi. As there will not be a video today. I will post a quick thing summarizing my day as I know a lot of you are wondering how it's going. First day of class is half over. Now I just gotta worry about not dying and/or not outing myself. Human interaction sure is weird. FlamingDragon Thanks for your nice words last night and just being friendly in general. CelestialStar signing off!

Well, that was the post that I wrote quickly and then posted hastily. I didn't want him to find out I was me, but Natsu was so obvious that it almost killed me inside. When I was done setting up my studio I looked at the clock and then headed out only to bump into Levy, "Hey, Lu! How are you doing? Natsu told me you were unpacking so I wanted to stop by and make sure you were okay."

I smiled as I wondered how people could be so welcoming and nice compared to her father who was the complete opposite. It made me feel somewhat alone and empty inside again, "I'm fine. I finished what I had to do. I honestly just said that to Natsu because I didn't feel comfortable crashing the party."

"Don't be silly. Besides, I have no one to talk about books with, so now you have to. Come on!" Levy pulled me to where everyone was as made me sit down. I had sort of a dead look on my face and I could tell everyone noticed it. Erza was talking with a friend with blue hair and some weird eye tattoo while Natsu talked with Lisanna and Mira, at least that's what I assumed their names were. Gray was out with his girlfriend and Levy was sitting next to the burly looking guy from Chem, Gajeel. My head hurt and I didn't feel like talking. Was it possible to feel so alone is a group?

I put my head down on the table and sighed, This was probably after affects of fainting in Chem. When a soft groan left me lips I could feel eyes move towards me and I just wanted to shrink back into myself and slowly disappear from the situation. It was Mira who was the first to talk now, "Lucy, are you feeling alright?"

My head lifted up slowly to show her slowly dying eyes, "I don't know. I'm tired I guess. I did pass out during Chem. Probably just my body being tired. I'll be fine."

Mira looked at Natsu and then back at me, "Why don't you go rest and we will give notes from our classes? I mean, it's easier than suffering all day."

Natsu seemed to agree, "It's your first day here right? You won't be missing much and we could just tell the teachers you aren't feeling well."

Levy joined in, "Yeah, I could give you my English notes and Erza can give you her History notes. Gray can give you the notes from that music class you have together. What was it? Music Theory?"

I wasn't going to lie about how defeated I was feeling at the moment, "Listen, I know you are all worried about me. I can see it in your eyes, but I don't give up without trying first. I guess that's just me though. Besides, it's not like I get to go home and-" I cut myself off.

Everyone looked at each other, but Natsu was looking at my faltering expression. I was trying to be happy, but somehow I missed being ignored. I decided something now about tomorrow. I wasn't going to come in. I was going to try and get away. Away from all the prying eyes, the weird understanding looks, the people who were slowly trying to figure her out.

That's when Levy elbowed me, "Hey, Lu. I got a question."

I felt myself go stiff when she said that. I tried to calm down, "Uh, what is it?"

"Well, I was wondering? What the problem with you and home? Gray told us about the weird encounter with you in the hallway. I don't mean to pry, but I don't know. I'm worried." Levy timidly said.

"It doesn't mater. You guys wouldn't understand anyways. It's... complicated." I didn't notice, but everyone else must've heard the thick sound of sadness that was in her voice, "I.. I have to go." I got up and wiped my eyes. I felt something warm grab my hand, but it didn't register in my mind until I heard words.

"Loopy, we can't have you leaving us crying. Sit back down and talk to us, or just sit with us anyways." I heard, but I didn't look back. I wanted to crumple into a ball and just cry and not in front of the entire school.

"I told you that I couldn't, Natsu. I told you." I looked back at him and tried to unwrap his hand from where it was on her wrist, "Let go."

Natsu shook his head and made me sit down. Whether he was aware of it or not I was the Lucy he was looking for and I didn't want to give myself away yet, "Don't be stupid. It's better to cry with friends then to cry alone."

From the table, I heard a tiny 'I ship it.' from who I could only assume to be Mira. My eyes shot to her and then I felt slightly uncomfortable as I kept my eyes glued to the table, "Trust me. I'd rather cry alone."

"Awh, Lu. Don't say that. I'm your friend and I want to support you." Levy exclaimed and everyone joined in.

I looked down, "Well, I don't know how I made friends with all of you, but thanks." I sighed, knowing that the situation didn't make a lick of sense to anyone else.

When lunch was over I went back to my locker and when I opened it a piece of paper fell out. When I read it I went rigid. First day and hate mail in my locker. Well, more like an open ended threat.

I know who you are. If you don't want your secret revealed...

All you have to do is meet me in front of the school when you get out of class.

If you do not. I will share this intelligence with everyone that the crybaby, Lucy is CelestialStar.

~Anon

I quickly crumpled up the paper and grabbed my books before heading to English.

A/N: Hey everyone! Oh me, oh my! Who wrote the note? Anyways, clearly it is someone who was stalking her.

Besides, the point I finally updated! Woo!

Well, Natsu and Lucy finally met. Yes, Natsu is completely unaware that Lucy is his internet crush and she doesn't want him to find out. More information is to come on their forming friendship. Did I say friendship? Yeah, but that's how relationships work.
