Yay! This is a week late . Sorry! School was a pain in the bum but I managed :D But enjoy~

Chapter 21:

-Lucy's POV-

I sighed as I sat in class tapping my pencil lightly on the desk constantly zoning out. To be honest, I had to stop thinking about that moment that I saw between Sting and Yukino. Yes it was painful to remember since I actually started to believe Sting wasn't that kind of guy, but it seems I was totally wrong. I was so stupid as well to think he had actually fallen for me when in reality he had his feelings towards another celestial mage.

I shook my head as I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I spun around to see Neko grinning at me which made me raise an eyebrow and give him a nonchalant face. Seriously out of all people it had to be him tapping me on the shoulder the freaking pervert that was staring at my chest on the first day of school when I was with Sting? Oh Mavis, I could tell this wasn't going to end quite well.

"What?" I asked as I noticed his eyes glisten in amusement.

"What happened between with the "Great" Sting?" Neko snickered, "Did he finally dump you? Well I actually really don't mind considering it gives me and all the other guys in school a chance."

A vein popped on the side of my forehead as I eyed him with a sharp glare glued onto my face. Of course he had to bring up Sting and us breaking up just of course. To make it worse, you could tell that he wants a chance with me which I had to highly disagree on. Sure, Neko was cute and everything, but there was no way in hell that I was going to fall for his little pervy self which could seriously relate to Sting's personality.

"Hey listen to me when I'm talking to you"

He then waved a hand in front of my face as I sighed in annoyance. Jeez, he really was such an annoying guy. I could see why Sting just attacked him on the first day of school considering that him and his little group kept staring at me which made Sting obviously irritated. Well, it wasn't particularly Sting's entire fault since Neko was the one to actually challenge him.

I then shook my head once again to come completely back to reality as I finally saw Neko letting out a deep breath as he finally made eye contact with me once again. It looked like a lust of hunger flickered in his ember eyes as he was now inches away from my face. My breathing became really rapid noticing that I could now literally feel him breathing on my face.

I bit my bottom lip as my face began to flush a bright red. I mean I didn't have feelings for the guy but I just felt so uncomfortable with his face just inches away from mine. I was always used to Sting doing that to me so I really didn't mind, but when Neko did it; it just didn't feel right at all.

"Aw what's wrong blondie?" Neko grinned, "A little jumpy?"

Blondie…

That was Sting's little nickname for me whenever he didn't really feel like calling me by my real name. Whenever I heard someone call me that, I could literally hear Sting's voice saying the word instead of the actual person's voice.

"Could you back off a little?" I said trying to turn back around in my seat until I felt both of his hands press against the side of my cheeks, pulling me in towards closer to his face. My hands gripped my seat as I was paralyzed on not knowing on what to do next. And I have to admit, I sound like such a weakling considering I'm a mage who can easily flatten him out in a few seconds but whenever moments like this happens to me I never have the courage to use my keys to call on Loke or Virgo or any of the celestial spirits.

And then, it happened in a matter of seconds which had soon left me completely wide eyed.

Neko's lips were now perfectly pressed against mine as I felt a sudden chill run down my spine. My mind was becoming foggy from the lack of oxygen as I then pushed him back letting the oxygen finally run through me. I looked down at the floor then back at him as I noticed a wide grin spread across his face as he then got up for the bell, winked and waved at me one last time as he made his way out with his group of friends leaving me still shocked in my seat.

"What just happened" I murmured to myself as my thoughts began to replay that sudden moment. I wasn't even expecting that to happen since Sting would always defend-

"Oh wait. That's right…" I said as I clutched my hand against my chest shaking my head in disapproval. This had to stop the constant thoughts of his image roaming inside my mind like it was haunting me. I know we hadn't known each other for a long time, and we dated for not too long… but somehow I felt like a piece of me was now missing. It was really confusing actually.

"Lucy!"

I then turned my head to see Erza by the doorway in her armor with a bright smile implanted on her face. She then made her way towards me gripping my wrist as she then began to drag me out the door. I then noticed that Mira and Laxus were waiting out in the hall as they began to trail behind Erza.

"Where are we going?" I asked as my eyes filled with curiosity at Erza's excitement, Mira's giggling, and Laxus' grinning.

"We're on a mission to set Orga and Minerva up together!" Mira said clapping happily with her glistening white teeth gleaming.

Ashlee then appeared behind a couple of lockers as she leaned against it with a sly smile curled onto her lips.

"Now maybe I'll have a chance with Sting-kun after I tell him what I just saw between Lucy and Neko."

-Stings POV-

I slammed my locker as I looked down to where Lucy's locker was which. She looked in a somewhat happy mood today which meant Natsu-san and Gray probably did something to cheer her up. I continued to gaze down at her until some brunette chick named Ashlee got in my view of her locker. Ashlee's face was all red and she was twiddling her fingers she looked pretty nervous. Really now, I was seriously trying to see if blondie was coming to her locker or not.

Honestly I didn't have any time for this. Like Rogue said, I had to make sure no other guy had the hots for blondie unless they're asking to be in a world of pain. Just the thought of seeing her with another guy, or even Natsu-san made me feel so uneven. Trust me if I saw that I'd seriously probably freak right there and just lose it.

I then drew my attention back to Ashlee who then began to stutter a lot.

"Um S-Sting" Ashlee asked looking at me straight in the eye. Her face was now getting redder every moment and her breathing became intense. She better not be doing what I think she's about to do.

"Yeah" I asked raising an eyebrow as I tried looking past her to see Lucy but of course there was a mob of girls right behind Ashlee covering the lockers where Lucy would usually be at now and then they began pushing her into me. I slowly backed up a little when I noticed she wrapped her arms around my torso. What in the exact hell was she doing?

"Sting, I have some feelings for you and I was wondering if you-"

"No" I then pushed her off me as she looked at me wide eyed as tears were about to stream down her face at any minute, "I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way. "

"Why? Why can't you at least give it a try! I can prove to you that I'm much better than Lucy since I saw her-" I then cupped my hand over her mouth to shut her up. I narrowed my darkened eyes at her sudden widened ones as I soon removed my hand from her mouth. From her expression, I could feel that I had a strong glare glued onto my face as I noticed she began to have goose bumps all over her arms.

I don't know how but she somehow was able to scream these words even with my hand cupped around her mouth.

"I SAW LUCY KISSING NEKO IN CLASS."

What did this freaking bitch just say right now? Lucy was kissing Neko? I clutched my fists and gritted my teeth as a bright white aura surrounded my body scales soon forming. I could hear the chuckling of Ashlee in front of me as I then looked up at her with a glare.

"See Sting-kun she's nothing than a skanky ass-"

"Let me tell you once" I said hissing at her, "I don't care if you're a girl. I'll have no problem putting you in your place if you dare talk about Lucy that way." I clutched my fists as I glared at her one last time before turning around and shoving my hands in my pockets. Damn. These girls in this high school were already all annoying.

"Can't you at least try and be a little friendly?"

I then looked over to see Rogue leaning against a locker with his crimson red pupils just staring me down with an eyebrow raised up at me in surprise. I don't know why he even looked surprised considering I'd always treat people that way back in Sabertooth so it wasn't really a new thing for me.

"Now really Sting if you plan on getting Lucy back, I think you're going to have to make her a little jealous. But just don't overdo it and you know what I mean. Just don't flirt with girls by doing what you did back in Sabertooth, get in their pants."

I chuckled at Rogue's little comment about me getting blondie jealous which would be an awesome sight to see. I snickered at myself as he began going on about someone getting in someone else's pants

and of course I wasn't paying attention to Rogue as I nodded without even knowing what in the hell he said.

I was completely zoned out as I began to imagine the look on Lucy's face when she sees me flirting with other girls. I wondered if she would be possessive or maybe a little obsessive about me, tch she should be anyways I mean look at me I'm like the hottest guy out there.

"You're seriously hopeless" Rogue groaned as he smacked his forehead, "Just listen and don't over-do it."

I rolled my eyes as I nodded my head. Did Rogue really think I was going to get with someone else while I have only eyes for a certain blondie? Tch I already have my eyes set on something far greater.
