The Cool Kids and Me

Friends….

The bell rang for dismissal. Everyone looked at me with disgust as I walked down the hallway and it was really annoying. They were talking about me and glaring at me. I ran down trying to escape from all of them but suddenly… I bumped into the Chicks, the really bitchy Chicks and fell on the floor. *OUCH*

"OMG, she's so gonna be humiliated by Juvia now!"

"Well, she really deserves it anyway."

"Crush her Juvia, crush her!"

"That bitch should really know about this hallway. Now, she's doomed. Ha!"

"Watch where you're going, bitch! Don't you know that we own this hallway? So, never shall anyone disrupt or bump us here, understand!?" She raised her left eyebrow at me. She's got that really mean look and I really can't stand it. She's like so friggin' annoying and I really wanna slap her fucking face off!

"Now, you're totally gonna pay big time!" Hughes clenched her fist. I stood up ready to slap all their faces when suddenly, Juvia slapped me big time. She's already getting into my nerves and I really wanna slap her back but maybe, it's gonna draw the whole school's attention so I didn't fight back.

"Don't you dare stand up before we walk beyond you, bitch! It's this hallway's rules so you gotta follow it. Now, lie down again." Who are you guys to tell me that!? You're just the same as me! Whoa… You think you've got the nerve? "What are you waiting for!? Lie down again!" I followed them like a mere puppy. They walked past me and I was like 'FUCK YOU BITCHES'.

"Whoaaa!"

"Juvia is the Queen Bee, indeed!"

"LMFAO! Hahahahaha!"

"Oh and remember please, don't you dare pull off some embarrassing actions before my boyfriend. The thing you did during lunch time was like so fucking annoying. Asking Natsu a kiss is beyond things already, understand now?" Lisanna snickered at me. Oh yeah, she obviously saw me reading the fucking letter. "Poor bitch."

"Boyfriend? Me? We're totally not couples yet Lisanna. And you don't own this hallway, Juvia. We own this. So, the rules only apply to us. Sorry, so you're not allowed to walk at the center of the hallway as long as we're here." So where's the boyfriend part Lisanna? You're totally busted like hell!

"Oh, looks like they just bullied poor Lucy Heartfilia! Look at her, sitting on the floor helplessly. Awww!" Don't you call me poor, bitch! "So Lucy, what did they do to you? Did they humiliate you?"

"Sorry Sting, but I'm not gonna fall for your pity jokes. And now's not the time for you guys to be starting a war, right? Remember, the Chicks and the Cool Kids always go together." I walked away from them. That was totally relieving like hell.

"Since when was our group going together with the girls group. Never. Maybe it's because of Gray here that somehow, our group and their group are related." Natsu snickered. OH! Gray and Juvia were only the ones connecting the two groups. Sorry Lisanna but bye-bye. Hahahahahaha!

"ummm… Natsu, are you forgetting about me? I'm your girlfriend so we're also the ones connecting the two groups." No, you're not! I so wanna laugh right now but Lisanna's just gonna bully me even more.

"Lisanna, you're drawing too much attention! Angel, can you please drag Lisanna out of here? And Natsu, you're not the only ones who get to own this hallway. We also do." Juvia and the rest of the group didn't stop and walked past through the boys like it was a normal day. *sigh*.. I really wanted to see some word war.

"Hey Lucy, don't just walk away from us without saying some 'thank you!'" Gray yelled. Do you really need to shout it out? –IGNORE- "Hey, don't you ignore us! Hey, I'm talking to you and when someone's talking…." Gray just grabbed my hand suddenly. "Listen when someone's talking." He glared at me like a demon and he like twisted my arm like hell, OUCH!

"Gray, don't twist her arm too much. She might be admitted to the hospital and we might be of fault because of you, so stop it." Whoa, Laxus is being protective. Really? This must be some kind of joke. Gray broke free my arm and just smirked at me. "Now ugly, can you please step aside now!" Oh yeah, Laxus is one of them.

I stepped aside for them to walk through like THE KINGS OF THE HALLWAY. They're really SOBs and I really can't help but do what they say or I'm gonna be in pretty big trouble. Why are they so annoying!?

"Lucy, can you come with me! Please!" Levy is here again needing help. I wanna say 'no' for what she has DONE to me 3 hours ago. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been humiliated at the canteen like hell. I wanna avoid her but I really can't help but pity her because of her puppy eyes. "Please!?"

"Fine. Just don't involve me with some EXTRAORDINARY expedition again like last lunch time." Well, I have to emphasize to the 'extraordinary' part since it was really fucking hell like Arghh…

"Okay, so can you come with me to the library? I need to say something to you…. in private." She grabbed my hands we both went to the library, to be specific, in a dark corner of the library where no one can see you since it's some kind of a hideous place.

"So what are you gonna say to me anyway?"

"Lucy, I'm sorry for what happened during lunch time." I knew it. She's totally gonna apologize for what she DID to me. "Actually, it wasn't Erza-senpai who asked me to hand the letter to you but it was actually Natsu. I was scared of him and I need to do what he ordered me or else, I'm dead. I didn't know they're gonna pull some kind of big prank on you. Sorry. Will you ever forgive me?" OF COURSE NOT!

"Y-Y-Yeah… I'm forgiving you. Anyways, no one could actually decline Natsu's orders right? I hope that this will be the last time that you'll be doing this to me since the experience during lunch time was really painful." I couldn't resist her puppy eyes. Well, just forgive and forget, not revenge and regret.

"Yay! So, can we be friends starting today?" She hugged me and offered her hand to me. It was kinda a heartwarming moment so I shook her hands.

"Yeah. We can totally be friends." Whoo! I had my first friend in school and whew, it's like winning the jackpot prize in a game show. She hugged me again. It's even tighter than her last hug. Awwww…..

"Okay, since I'm already your friend, I'm telling you everything I know about every student in school including the Cool Kids and the Chicks. I may just be some random nerd but I've got some reliable sources of info in our school. It's pretty cool, right?" Cool. I never knew that nerds could actually be big gossipers. I really underestimated them like hell. "So, who do you wanna know about first?"

"Is this some kind of backstabbing cuz you know, I hate backstabbing other people. But if it isn't, then let's start with the worst man in school, NATSU." If she knows everything about everyone in school, then why not know about the worst man in school first. This is totally gonna be fun, if isn't backstabbing of course.

"Well, this isn't considered backstabbing since I'm just sharing information I know to you. Anyways, Natsu, we all know of him as a smart person, yeah… He's the captain of the basketball team and he knows how to play the piano. He's really talented …" I know that already so can you please expound more! "He's really talented but he's the leader of the big bunch of bad boys in the school. To start off, he's not just a normal smart bitch that you know…."

"What did you just say!? He's more than your normal smart bitch!?" I was kinda freaking out already because maybe he's actually a genius freak.

"Yeah. Didn't you know? He's actually the school's valedictorian in elementary school. He didn't show up that time since rumor says that he's shy about it. Due to his absence, you were the valedictorian, right Lucy?" I remember that. The valedictorian of the school went missing and I have to replace him. I didn't know it was actually Natsu!

"I was the valedictorian during elementary school yet no one acknowledged me at all since everyone thought that I'm just a replacement. To tell you the truth, that moment actually ruined my whole school life. Because of it, I'm sort of an outcast right now and I'm almost invisible in our school." *sigh*. I have to tell her my story, my sad story of how I became a nobody.

"Oh, I'm really really sorry for saying that. I must have hurt your feelings, didn't I?" She patted me as I started to weep. "Should we still continue this? Maybe you need some kind of sleep now." Awww… She's such a concerned friend.

"Let's not continue this. I'm getting kinda emotional right now. Sorry." I stood up and walked away. That topic was the most annoying one I've ever heard. *sigh*. I really need to go home now. It's already past 5:30 now.

I walked down the street, always looking down. Our house is just one kilometer away from school so I can just walk it down. I continued walking, remembering what Levy has told me and I can't get it off my mind. It's stuck in there like it was glued in my brain and there's no way to get it out.

"Who's there?" I turned around since I noticed a shadow behind me. It turned out to be Rogue. Don't tell me he's following me and stalking me on my way home. That's just totally awkward. "Are you following me?"

"Dream on. My house is just as the same street as yours so I'm always going through this route. Don't get too cocky just because someone's behind your back." It was the first time I heard him talk and his voice was really sexy like a cool singer. "Don't stare at me like that. You'll fall in love with me." Whoa! The nerve he's got!

"I'm not staring at you. Hmph." I continued walking and ignored him. There was an awkward silence as he was still behind me when my house is just 300 meters from here. "Where's your house anyway? Plus why do you know that you and I live on the same street? Were you always following me?"

"Excuse me. Of course, I know that you and I live on the same street since our house are beside each other. Simply saying, we're neighbors." Eh? We are neighbors!? No way in hell! "Speechless."

I ran away from him since our house is just near. I locked the gates and knocked on the door. He stared at me wearing that smirk on his face, it was kinda sexy of him to smirk but still, he's one of them and there's totally no way in hell that I'd fall in love with one of them.

"Miss Lucy Heartfilia! Do you know what time is it?" Mom opened the door with that demonic face. Shoot, it's already past 6. I'm doomed. I looked at Rogue and he was laughing. Damn it. That bitch! "Don't you look ignore me! Look at me, little girl! You're staying outside of this house until 7. If I see you go outside, you're totally not going to eat dinner, understand?" She grabbed my bag and went inside.

"Pity you, Lucy." Damn this bitch. He's still there by the gate watching me. He's totally not a stalker. He shouldn't be. "So, what are you gonna do now? Sit in there like a person waiting for the end of the world?" Rogue's got this opposite side of himself huh? He's silent by day but bigmouth by night.

"What else can I do? Eat, when food is inside our house? Read, when mom got my bag? Play, like a crazy bitch? Go out, or I'm doomed? Of course, sitting here waiting for a miracle is the only option." Whoa! I just talked back big time to one of the Cool Kids. That's gotta be some achievement.

"Well, you can go to my house. You can eat there plus you can have sex with me." He winked. SEX!? This guy's got some psycho problems! He's crazy like hell thinking that I'd have sex with him. No way am I gonna do that. "Just joking. You can go to my house and eat yourself out. But if you really wanna do that thing, I'm not rejecting it." Pervert! .

"Perverted freak! Didn't you hear what my mom said? I'm not allowed to go outside of this house. Yes, I'm hungry, but mom cooks best for me so that can wait." Yeah, mom cooks best for me. She knows everything I want to eat and she's like an awesome cook at a fancy restaurant.

"Aren't you thinking? You're already outside of the house. Your mom really needs to think even deeper, you know? Anyways, there's pizza at our house and some teriyaki. Yummy, isn't it? How long is your tummy gonna last if you know that your neighbor's having some delicious food?" He winked again at me. Yeah, his wink is really sexy but it's a big NO-NO for me. "So, what's your decision? Eat at my house or sit there like a zombie?"

"If you're really having pizza, then I guess I can eat in your house for 10 minutes. But the problem is, what if my mom's gonna go out and see nothing? Can you figure out a way?" I'm totally not being friendly with this bitch! But my stomach couldn't stand its butterflies anymore.

"That's not my problem anymore. If you wanna go at my house, that's your decision so do something about it." He's right. I gotta do something but what? "Why don't you just leave a note that you're in my house for some kind of study group? Look, I just gave the answer to your problem? Notice how helpful I am." Dream on, kid. He's totally got a big mouth by night. It's kinda annoying me now.

"Okay. Look, don't get the wrong idea. I just wanna go to your house not because I have a crush on you but I can't stand anymore the butterflies in my stomach, get it?" I'm worried now. What if mom would figure out that I just ate at Rogue's house and she'd barge in their house and grab me? That'd be disastrous like hell.

Rogue assisted me as I was climbing out of the gate, not making too much noise. He held my hips and put me down. It's not sugar-sweet. It's totally not sweet or romantic.

We got inside their house. It wasn't that big, in fact, it's just the same size as our house. I didn't know that some of the Cool Kids wouldn't be a rich bag like Sting and Gray. We went into the dining room and there it is, the pizza and some teriyaki. Saliva's going down now.

"Rogue, don't you live with your parents?" That was totally word vomit. That question in my mind just sputtered out of my mouth like hell. He ignored me. Good, he must have not heard my question. "Let's eat. Itadakimasu!"

I ate two slices of pizza and one stick of teriyaki. Well, that's enough to fill in the hunger. I looked at Rogue, and he was in serious mode, back to the self that I know of, the silent one. There was an awkward silence as we were the only ones inside their house. I thought that he had a maid but it seems that no one was inside their house other than us.

"Rogue, where's everybody? Do you live by yourself? I thought that you had a maid." I had to ask out of curiosity plus to fill in some talk since it was really silent like in a rainforest. "umm.. Did the maid go out suddenly?"

"Lucy, stay a little longer please." What the hell!? No way in hell am I gonna stay longer. "Please?" From serious mode, I caught a glimpse of his sadness. Maybe that was just my imagination. I must be seeing things already. There's no way one of the Cool kids would be sad since they're the kings of high school.

"No way in hell! I'm going out now. I've had enough food. Bye-bye." As I walked to the door, he grabbed my hand and pushed me to the sofa. W-w-wait a minute! This is totally going beyond something. We're totally not having sex! Never! "Get away from me, you perverted freak! I knew it. You're just the same as them. You're just some pervert who just wants some action, sorry but you're not gonna get that from me. Maybe you can get that from Juvia or Lisanna or any one of the Chicks." Okay, I'm mad now.

"Who told you that I wanna have sex with you? Actually, I'm going to tell you something." Lucy, you're going too overboard. I wanna slap my face off right now. *sigh*. That's what happens if you continue to watch some fan service anime.

"I'm sorry. It's just that I don't like to experience that kind of stuff at this age. I'm really sorry. And ughh… Okay, I'm staying a little longer." I wanna say something but looking at Rogue's face, I think he needs somebody by his side. "So what were you going to say anyway? Say it fast because time goes by really fast and my mom would have already noticed something."

"umm.. About your question earlier, I heard it. I just don't wanna talk about my parents to anyone including them. Can we just get into my room? It's a lot more ventilated there and it's more private." Private my ass. This is getting more suspicious by the moment. Ugh…

We went upstairs and inside his room. He locked it. OMG! We're totally not gonna do it! I wanna go home so badly now. Mom, save me from this freak! T_T *sigh* I'm over exaggerating now.

"Look, I'm just telling this to you because I think that I can trust you. I don't tell this to anyone in the group and I never told this to anyone else. So, this thing is only between the two of us." Whoa! I'm feeling so proud that he shared a secret that never told to anyone XD. "Actually, I'm living alone. The pizza and teriyaki, I just bought them yesterday and heated them today. There's no one else here and usually, I don't let anyone inside the house including the guys."

"So wait, this is really private, isn't it?" Curiosity kills.

"Yeah. Let me continue. Where do I get the money? Maybe you'd ask that. To tell you the truth, I work on part-time jobs at the middle of the night like working in 24-hour cafes that's why in the morning, I'm so sleepy and I usually just sleep in class. Well, I don't tell this to anyone including the guys because I don't wanna drop myself out of them. I don't want to be alone again." I could really relate with this guy. He's just like me, a used-to-be loner. *sigh*. "I want to stay in the group. I want everyone in school to know me and acknowledge me. That's why I don't tell this secret to anyone else because it might get me out of the group."

"Rogue, I feel you. But, you don't have to involve yourself to them. Rogue, you're a nice guy unlike them all except for Loke, of course." Shit! Word vomit again.

"Wait! You know Loke that much? You think that he's kind? Really? Who are you? Wait! You have a crush on Loke, don't you! That's totally hell. Whoo!" Shut up, you bitch. Shit! Now this guy's gonna spread it to the whole school. Please don't. I beg you. T_T "Don't worry because your secret is safe with me. I don't like to gossip or talk too much by the day so yeah." Yes!

"Don't get the wrong idea! Loke is not my crush! Plus, you're going off-topic. If you're just gonna talk about Loke, then I have to go back now." Please go back to the topic now. I really don't wanna talk about Loke like hell!

"Well, you can go now. Anyways, I'm done storytelling. Bye-bye!" Fuck you bitch. *sigh*. This bitch is totally getting on my nerves now. Pfft. "Lucy, thanks by the way. I had a fun time talking to you. Maybe you can come again tomorrow, talk about life and other stuff. Don't worry, I'm not like them."

"Y-You're welcome. Anyways, good night." He smiled at me and I smiled back. Are we considered friends now? "So, are we friends now?" Shit! Why am I always having word vomit today?

"Sure. We can be friends only by night but we're not allowed to be friends when I'm in school." Yeah, I understand. He doesn't want to be ruined just because of me. Figures. *sigh*

I walked downstairs and left him in his room. Before I opened the door, I noticed that it was still 30 minutes before seven. Whew. I think that mom wouldn't notice that I just ate and talked here. I opened the door, closing my eyes first. As I opened it, there they are, the Cool Kids. W-W-Wait! The Cool Kids?!

-TO BE CONTINUED-

Author's Note: I don't ship RoLu much but I guess this chapter has too much hints on it. Loke's not getting enough action huh.. Maybe the next chapter will be kinda featured for him. XD

P.S: Rogue's voice in the anime is really sexy. You should hear it out XD
