Chapter 10

Emotions are funny yet serious. We feel them and sometimes can't describe them. We know they're there yet sometimes we don't. Emotions are a confusing, sometimes you don't know how you should react to a situation but you feel. Some people are lucky more than others and are able to kept emotions inside when they want to but others, not so much. Emotions, one word and eight letters yet it has so many friends that make it a word. Why do we feel emotions?

Humans talk because that's how we communicate. Words come out of our mouth every day. We learn to talk at an early stage in life some of our first words are mama or something along those lines. People talk and there different types of accents when talking that people have like the American accent, the Australian accent and one of my favourites the British accent. There different types of talks too like girl talk, gossiping and though not mentioned as a real type there is also lying. Lying is a in human nature no one doesn't lie. Parents say it's bad to lie but sure they're right but we can't help it heck they lie too, remember when you asked where babies come from…bet they lied then huh. Lying though a bad thing can save people from find out a truth you don't want them too or get you out of a bad situation. Some people are gifted liars others not so much. When I lie though I don't like calling it a lie I prefer saying it's untrue or false so when someone asks if I was lie after the truth came out I would say 'what I told you wasn't a lie it was just false'.

Lying can save your skin sometimes. It can also get addicting though. Lying though it seems not harmful it can ruin a relationship and might lead someone not to trust you but we're not perfect so we lie through our teeth. Once you lie keep up with your lies and never get someone involved in them or things might get out of hand.

Last time on Was it Fate or Destiny?:

There was silence on the other side. Loke sighed, no matter how much he tried this one girl had mange to change him and he couldn't forget her just like that.

"Look. I liked you form the day we meet. We started off as strangers but I kept coming back and we soon became friends. I loved that friendship but each time I tried to bring up being more than just friends you shock it off so I gave up. I want to move on I know you only see me as a friend so I couldn't change that"

"Baka! I love you. You gave me the courage to stand up for myself and to stop being shy. Where are you?"

"Magnolia. Why?"

He never got an answer because she hanged up. Loke sighed but he went outside to join the others. He didn't know what to feel right then. He wasn't sure if it was happiness or regret.

Lucy woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed. It was 8:00 and school started at 9. She didn't care if she was going to be late she just felt great today. She got out of bed and went towards her window and opened the curtains to let in the sun to brighten up her purple room. She got her towel and entered the bathroom.

Rufus who was getting worried that Lucy wasn't coming down at her usual time for breakfast got up and went to see what was up with his little sister. He knocked on the door but heard no reply so he opened it slowly. Once sure she wasn't inside he stepped in and saw no sign of her but heard her singing in the shower a real rare thing to hear from his sister. He smiled at her beautiful voice and went back down stairs not forgetting to close the door.

30 minutes later

Lucy was done taking a shower were she felt like an international pop star and went down stairs in her uniform. She knew she had 30 minutes to school and she didn't usual like being late but she didn't care nothing could bring her mood down. She entered the kitchen and bid her brother a good mourning and kissing him on the cheek before grabbing her breakfast.

Rufus was surprised by her actions but only smiled it had been long since he saw his sister extremely happy. When she had sat down and was eating her breakfast he said goodbye and headed for work. He could not afford to be late.

Lucy munched on her breakfast happily until she had finished it. She packed her lunch her brother made checked her phone for messages but got none, and then she made her way towards the door looking forward to the day. She walked along the streets humming a tune she loved so much. School wasn't that far away and she was glad for that. She only had 15 minutes to reach school though but her mode seemed not to care.

At school

Lucy finally reached school still cheerful and happy. She didn't know what made her so happy but she suspected it was the fun she had yesterday at Stings house with Sting, Rogue and Loke. She was not one to hang around boys that much but she didn't mind it was really fun. Even though they spent 2 hours together, all four of them, Lucy still didn't feel like she knew them at all but she didn't care. She was half way to her class when her phone rang. She thought it was Erza telling her to hurry up and get to class but when she looked at caller ID it was Levy.

"Hey Levy" Lucy said smiling

"Get your dead ass to class" Levy said and hanged up

Lucy was surprised that her friend could be so upset and anger in the mourning she was usual the happy and concentrated one out of everyone else. Lucy just shrugged it off as she had woken up on the wrong side of her bed this morning. Lucy happily went on towards the classroom she opened the door smiling her famous smile.

"Hey everyone" Lucy said as she made her way to sit in front of Sting which was now her second favourite spot in the classroom.

She smiled at Sting but he ignored her facing the window and talking to Rogue who was sitting on the window frame with Levy between his legs and his arms around her. Loke was there too sitting on her desk.

"Loke could you please move that's my sit" Lucy asked

"Last time I checked there were no assigned sits blondie" Sting told her

"I just forgot. Stingy" Lucy said and she walked to the front on the classroom

Levy followed her close by. Levy unlike Sting wasn't mad at Lucy. Rogue was made at Lucy too. Loke for one didn't care he had no idea why Sting and Rogue were so mad.

Lucy sat down and noticed Levy sit next to her. She smiled at her best friend not giving second thought to what had just happened. She was in a way to happy mode to think about Stings behaviour towards her.

"Hey Levy" Lucy said still smiling

"Hey Lu-chan" Levy said smiling back

"So what was that about when you called?" Lucy asked remembering her calling

"Of Sting and Rogue are mad at you" Levy said normally "You lied to Rogue and Sting wasn't really happy about that"

"So I lied about where Sting was and why he was with me but I have my reasons" Lucy told her

"I know" Levy said "Just explain that to them."

Lucy looked back at the boys. She didn't know what to do. Her eyes focused on Sting, she didn't know why but her heart broke a little when he looked back at her and glared. Even though it had only been 3 days since they meet Lucy felt like Sting has been a part of her life for a long time and she couldn't help think that it would suck without him being there. She turned back to face Levy.

"Why are you late anyway?" Levy asked

"Woke up at 8:00" Lucy told her "It's feels like a great mourning"

The others girls made their way over to them. Lucy and Levy smiled at them and said good mourning then Natsu and Gajeel burst in and with an anger expression on his face.

"GAJEEL, NATSU" Gray yelled angrily

Everyone apart from Lucy seemed to be in a really bad mood. Gray was mad at Natsu and Gajeel. Sting and Rogue were mad at Lucy.

Natsu and Gajeel ran towards the other guys, Sting, Rogue and Loke. Everyone was clueless to what happened between the three friends. They wouldn't normally care because Gray and Natsu were always competing and arguing but Gajeel was involved in it this time. Gray made his way towards the two.

"YOU RETARDS DID WHAT?" Gray yelled getting closer "I KNEW YOU GUYS WERE FUCKED UP BUT I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WERE THIS FUCKED UP. WHAT TYPE OF FRIENDS SPY ON A DATE."

The whole class went silent and turned to Juvia knowing she was going to be furious and Gray's words, everyone knowing perfectly well how much the older Lockser loved him. They were surprised to see her blushing though. So they turned back to Gray.

"Look man" Gajeel said "No one knows about it. Blame Salamander of here, he is the one who was screaming it down the hall way"

"You are a right asshole flame brain" Gray said to Natsu

"What did you say ice princess?" Natsu asked

Gray didn't have time to reply because Erza had silenced him faster with a punch to the back of his head. Everyone in the room was filled with fear all except Lucy. Lucy was just smiling at the usual scene she sees every morning. Everyone else in the room was curious to Gray's little date that he had but apparently didn't tell anyone about it.

"So Natsu tell us about Gray's date" Mira said with sparkles in her eyes

At that every girl rushed to the two, sparkles in their eyes and all curious to as what the two had seen. Lucy just walked over there as curious as everyone else but instead of stand around the guys she sat on Stings table.

"Make sure you tell us everything" Cana said

"Don't miss a single detail" Lisanna instructed him

Natsu and Gajeel smiled loving the attention and they told them everything. Once they were done no one could believe their ears and Gray was up already him and Juvia making their way to the door slowly. They didn't want to be hit with questions just yet.

Please don't turn around please. Gray prayed

Gray-sama thought it was a date. Does this mean Gray-sama loves me? Juvia thought

Luckily for them Gildarts-Sensei choose that moment to enter through the door and everyone in the class went to their sits in a flash.

"Homework to the front desk" He said "Erza collect them for me please"

"Yes Gildarts-Sensei" Erza said standing up

Erza collected in all the homework but when she reached Sting he had nothing to give her. Sting didn't finish his homework because he was having way too much fun yesterday with guys and Lucy. Sting sighed and stood up.

"Sorry Gildarts-Sensei" Sting said "I didn't do my homework"

"Then detention afterschool today" Gildarts said

Sting sighed and sat down he was really disappointed. Rogue, Loke and him had made plans to go to the arcade after school, it was the one time his two closet friend were going to bond. Rogue gave him a look like 'Typical Sting' and Loke just put his hand over his laugh to stop from laughing out loud. He looked out the window not really caring. Lucy looked back at him and sighed but smiled at his expression.

He looks kinda hot with that expression. Lucy thought then shock her head and turned her attention back to the front of the classroom.

Gildarts was teaching them math and was going on and on about pie and circles and stuff. The only people that were paying attention were Lucy, Levy, Lisanna, Rogue, Erza, Mira and Jellal. The rest were drawing in their book or using their phones. Gildarts did notice them but he didn't care it was their fault if they failed their papers. Everyone else paid attention until the bell rang for next period.

Lucy got out of her sits and put everything in her bag going to her next class which was humanities she didn't have any other classes with Sting that day so she decided to find out what was up with his attitude towards her. As she got out of the classroom first before him she slide to the side to wait for him to come out.

Sting not noticing her walked out of the class with Loke and Rogue they were getting on pretty well now and Sting couldn't be happier.

"Bad boy Sting" Loke joked "Getting in trouble already"

"I thought I was always the bad guy" Sting joked along

"Really?" Rogue asked putting on a confused face when on the inside he was smiling evilly.

Lucy heard their conversation as they walked closer to the door.

Sting looked at his best friend then him and Loke looked at each other and shrugged they thought it was Rogue just being awkward.

"Yeah" Sting said answering Rogues earlier question

"Funny. I thought you were the proud, arrogant dumbass" Rogue said walking to his next class a head of an infuriated Sting

"Better run you asshole" Sting yelled picking up his pace

"Bitch come on" Loke said joining Rogue "You can't run to save your life"

Sting was mad now but he knew they were only teasing. He used to be like that but he changed a lot over the years but he was still going to chase his closet friends just for the fun of it. He couldn't however catch up with them because a particular blonde jumped in front of him smiling wide.

Lucy saw Loke and Rogue rush past the door and as she heard Sting coming closer she went in front of him smiling happily.

"Ne Sting?" Lucy begun

"What do you want blondie?" Sting said with a hint of disgust but definitely venom in his voice

"Why have you been giving me the cold shoulder?" Lucy asked

"Why are you such a conniving bitch?" Sting countered

He didn't let Lucy answer because he soon walked around her and walked to his next class no longer feeling playful like he had a few moments ago. All Lucy did was watch him go. She had no clue what he meant by his words. When she thought about it she just realized Sting swore. She watched his back no knowing what to think or what to feel.

I feel like I'm letting one of my friends slip away from my reach. His getting father, father away and I can't seem to reach him. This is fucking great…though what can I do? Lucy thought as she walked away

Lunch time. (I'm lazy)

By now everyone knew about Gray's and Juvia's little "Date". Lucy was happy that the two were so happy but she kept wondering why Sting, Loke and Rogue weren't with the whole group. It didn't make sense to her but honestly Sting was all that was on her mind today. Levy of course noticed Lucy depression and tapped her friend on the shoulder.

"Worried about Sting?" Levy asked her

"Ye-no" Lucy said quickly rethinking her answer

"Lu-chan" Levy said smiling "Do you like him?"

"No" Lucy said without blinking "We're acquaintances"

"That's not how I see it" Cana said

"That's how it seems to have become" Lucy told her

She wasn't sure why but she didn't really feel like his friend at that moment and she need to take a break from the NOW cheery people she loved so much. So she walked away from their table taking her bag and trash of her finished food with her. Even though she was bright and happy in the mourning she didn't feel that same joy anymore and all because of a curtain blonde boy.

It feels like his the light in my heart. Lucy thought smiling slowly but not so much. That's a bit weird to feel but his…just…I don't know how to explain. I mean I just got to know him over the weekend and his already beginning to become a big part of my life. Lucy sighed but she kept walking. So is it worth it to let this relationship end just like that? When I thinking about it I'm fucking messed up in my head. Lucy laughed and looked at her phone and saw Sting's number

She was staring at it for a while completely blocking out the outside world so she didn't notice Levy walking up to her with a really betrayed expression on her face. Little did Lucy know that Levy had just talked to Rogue about the information the happy pair found out yesterday. Levy just wanted to know the truth from Lucy herself knowing her best friend would not lie to her.

"Lu-chan" Levy said

That broke Lucy train of thought and she got herself out of her trance and switched off her phone before turning to face Levy.

"Yea" Lucy said

"What happened in the morning when you left?" Levy asked "You looked pretty dressed up"

Lucy didn't reply she didn't really want to tell Levy the truth though usual she would never hesitate to tell Levy anything but this one time she felt like that mourning was the one little secret she shared with Sting and she didn't want to let that go not just yet at least.

"I was going to meet up with an old friend of mine" Lucy told her smiling

Levy's heart broke a little. Don't you trust me Lu-chan? Levy thought as anger belt up inside of her and she looked at her so called best friend.

"Liar" Levy screamed "You were with Sting not meeting up with an old friend"

Lucy was shocked but before she could explain everything to Levy, Levy made her excited but before she was truly out of site she turned back and glared at Lucy before moving on to her next class after all the bell was about to ring. All Lucy did for the second time today was let her walk away.

After school. (Laziness has taken over)

Lucy didn't do much after school she wasn't in any sport but she took her time to pack her things and get to her car. She felt terrible not only was Levy not talking to her everyone else was completely ignoring her. She didn't know the reason but she didn't bother to find out.

As she got into her car she drove to her house not looking forward to doing her homework. She would usual go to the café and talk with Natsu but Gray decided that football practice was today so she was alone. She knew Rufus wasn't going to be home soon but that gave her time to do her homework. She reached closer to her house and she saw Rufus and someone else's car parked in the drive way, so she parked in the garage. She thought it was one of Rufus' friends.

She entered the house removing her shoes first and went in the kitchen to grab a apple before heading to the seating room to greet the visitor. As she walked in to the room she couldn't sense the person inside but her brother was standing up looking a bit worried but that was normal if he was a really important client that was visiting. Lucy went farther into the room and finally got to see who the guest was behind her brother sitting down drinking tea. Once she saw the guests face she dropped her school bag that was hanging on one shoulder and her apple fell from her mouth.

Lucy didn't give her brother time to speak or the guest that was sitting on the sofa she ran. She ran out the door left her car parked and ran. Tears at the corner of her eyes. She had her phone and that was all. She ran towards the beach or the mall she really didn't know but she didn't care all she wanted to do was get far away from the guest in her brother's house.

Why? Why now? Why? Just why? Lucy thought as she kept running. She stop for a while and looked at the sunset tears already falling she got out her phone. The only people that could help her now were her friends but which friend would she call.

Natsu was at practice till 7pm. Levy seemed really pissed at her. Those are her best friends in the world but as she looked through her contacts list she found a name not sure if she should call but she dialled it anyway.

To her delight they picked up and she let an breathe out that she didn't know she was holding. She tried her best to sound fine but with no luck.

"What do you want?" Came an angry voice

"I-I-I-I-I have n-n-no one t-t-o ta-lk to and I-I-I-I n-eed you" Lucy said stuttering

"What?" The voice

"I need you Sting" Lucy screamed "I know your mad at me right now but your all I have and I need you now. I'm at the beach at the hill where the big tree is. You don't hav-"

Lucy didn't get to finish her sentence it was too late. Sting had already hang up but she sat on the grass looking at the sunset crying.

Do I really have no one close to me? Lucy thought as the tears fell more than before

Lies sure lead to mistrust. Lies are like the evil in you yet we can't stop them. It easy to lie than tell the truth. I know people say I'd rather be told the truth than be lied to but think about it when you say that remember that you too have lied once in your life to get out of the situation. So here's a question to sit on for a day or two: Is lying the worst thing in the world?
