Dear Journal,
I never knew how interesting animes like Kimi ni Todoke, Say I Love You, and Nageboroshi Lens were.
Of course, Nageboroshi Lens is so unrealistic…
What?! A popular boy meets a unpopular girl who he conveniently finds cute as she falls for him?!
That doesn't happen in real life! It doesn't! It doesn't! It doesn't!
To be honest, very completely, truthfully honest…I think things like Naruto, Bleach, Prince of Tennis, and Full Metal Alchemist are more of my style.
It's Sunday.
I'm just going to drown myself in the glorious haven of anime for a while.
Crap.
Someone just rang the doorbell.
My mom let them in.
It's Cana and Levy.
Sh*t! Sh*t!
Maybe if I lock the bedroom door…
I can't really afford to pay for a broken down door…
Okay…it's not like Cana's going to barge in here with yelling at me –
All right.
She didn't yell at me, but she threw me off my bed.
She also almost wrecked my VCR, but Levy managed to calm her down before she could.
Thank goodness.
What am I supposed to do for fun on a nice day if I can't access my millions of DVDs of Pokemon or something?
But anyways, the brunette glared me down, and took me by the collar of my shirt.
"What – the –HELL – do – you – think – you're –DOING?!" she asked as she shook me.
I had always been well known for making people the exact opposite of calm.
That was partially a lie. Because I've never been well-known.
"Cana! Please…calm down…or you're going to snap Lucy's neck!"
No! I can't die! Naruto Shippuden hasn't ended yet!
"You," Cana said venomously. "You ran past us yesterday practically sobbing your ass off! What HAPPENED when you went back for our phone?!"
"Well…" I said in a strained voice – you've got to understand that she was holding onto my shirt collar pretty tightly. "I got my phone…"
"No, flipping, f***ing, sh*t, SHERLOCK HOLMES!"
Great. My mom wasn't going to come up now.
Knowing her, she probably thought Cana was complimenting me by calling me the greatest, fictional detective ever known.
"I demand you to tell me! Give me details!" Cana roared, starting to shake me again.
"All right!" I yelled, and she dropped me like a sack of potatoes. "But let's this out of the way first…I was NOT sobbing."
"You looked like you were going to," Levy said quietly.
I sighed. And I had felt like it, too.
But I wouldn't succumb to stupid, cliché, heartbroken, girly, hormonal things like that!
Haha! Not when I have the dashing good looks of Ichigo Kurosaki, and Naruto Uzumaki on my side! Hahahaha!
I am writing 'hahaha' in a journal…
Oh….Mavis…I am succumbing! I am succumbing!
Or am I?
I'm a very confused person right now.
"Natsu and Sue kissed," I said, getting straight to the point.
"Yeah…" Cana said, arching an eyebrow. "Because they're boyfriend and girlfriend…has innocent little Lucy never seen a real, live kiss before?"
Levy elbowed Cana in the ribs.
"Ow!"
"Ca –NA!" Levy said in a voice that expressed her diminishing patience. The brunette sulked as the petite girl approached me.
Levy wrapped an arm around me. "Do you…like Natsu, Lu-chan?"
I jumped and pulled away from her. I scuttled backwards, terrified.
"LIKE him?!" I asked in a horrified voice. "As in…like those shoujo mangas kind of like…where the girls likes the guy in THAT way?!"
"No…" Cana said sarcastically.
Levy gave the brunette a menacing glare that said, "You're not helping matters!"
I scratched my head wildly.
"There's no way! It's just – it's not - I can't – no – I mean!"
"Yes way! It's just – it is – you can – yes – what do you mean?!" Cana replied back.
This time, she received a glare from Levy AND me.
"Look, Lu-chan…do…you…like…him?"
I thought about that question.
If I said…yes…then I would be succumbing to the status of a hormonal teenager in love.
But if I said no…I would be…lying…
"IT'S ALL BECAUSE HE'S SO MISLEADING!" I roared, throwing my pillow against the wall.
"What?"
"HE'S NICE TO ME EVEN THOUGH I DUMPED MY LUNCH ALL OVER HIM, HE SMILES AT ME SO KINDLY, AND…AND…HE TOLD ME I LOOKED PRETTY…!" I yelled.
My glasses were on crooked when I finished.
"Whoa…" Cana breathed. "I think you broke her, Levy."
"So…I take it that you like him?"
I took a couple of deep breaths, and said, "Yes. But what does it matter? It's already so obvious that he's in love with Sue."
"Hmm…well…they've had a pretty long relationship, that's for sure," Levy said thoughtfully.
"Mmmhmm."
"That means you can swoop in and grab him!" Levy said.
"Mmmhm…wait…what?"
"Be like the predator and grab your prey! Snag onto him, and make him yours!" the bluenette emphasized, standing up passionately.
"Okay…I think you've broken Levy, Lucy," Cana said, sitting in my desk chair heavily.
"Levy…calm down!" I yelled, pulling my friend down, and plopping her onto my bed. "And I am NOT going to do that."
"But-!"
"I agree!" Cana said, examining her split ends carefully. "Especially when she's got Gray Fullbuster head over heels for her."
"Exactly – wait, WHAT?!" I said, turning to face the brunette.
She gazed up at me innocently. "Isn't it true?"
"Cana…!" I said. "We had ONE conversation! Stop over-exaggerating!"
"And did you see the look on his face? He's totally taken by you!"
"Uh…no…no, he isn't. Maybe something was in your eye?" I persisted.
"Maybe you're unconsciously in love with him, too!" the brunette said, pumping her fists in the air. "I walked past while you were talking to him, and I didn't even hear you stutter!"
"That's because he INSULTED me before I actually found out he's a decent guy!"
"Aha! You admitted that he's decent!" Cana said triumphantly. She got up, and put an arm around me. "Now tell me Rushi-Wushi…is Gray hot or not?"
"What the-!? C-Cana, get off of me."
She tightened her hold on me.
"Is he, or is he not? Tell me, Rushi*."
I felt my entire face warm as I clenched my jaw and said in a strained voice, "He…is."
"There you go, my little, little friend," Cana said in a sugarcoated voice as she finally let go of me.
"But it DOESN'T mean I like him."
"But that doesn't mean he doesn't like YOU."
"Levy, do you have a screwdriver?"
"Huh? No. Why?"
"Because I think Cana's got a screw loose!"
The brunette clicked her tongue. "Believe it or not, Lucy…but I guarantee that tomorrow…he'll be talking to you every chance he gets…"
"Pfft."
"Let's wait and see," Levy said simply, a smirk gracing her lips.
"Fine."
I'll wait and see.
For Cana to be wrong!
And for me to be CORRECT!
Signed,
Lucy
*Rushi - the way Lucy's name is pronounced in Japanese...
