BEHOLD my second chapter! :D Enjoy~
Ch.2
Gray and Gajeel storm off from Lucy's remark, which was absolutely hilarious. I turn to Lucy.
"So, what class do you have next?" I ask.
"Algebra," She answer.
"Really? Me too," I reply, "We can walk together. Sound good?"
"Sounds great!"
Together, we walk to second period, just talking and laughing. She was pretty cool. Turns out we'd be working together, too, considering she got a new job at costco.
"Natsu!" I hear ahead of us. It was Lissana and a couple of the other cheerleaders, Levy and Lissana's sister, Mira Jane.
"Hey, Lis," I say as she wraps her arms around my waist.
"Hi, Natsu!" Mira smiles at me. Sure, she's all smiles and sweets but this chick is the devil in a high skirt with pom poms.
"Hiya, Natsu!" Levy sings, she's a book worm. Don't know her all that well but Gajeel has a thing for her.
"Hey, girls."
Lucy catches their eye.
"Natsu," Lissana holds onto my arm, "Who's this?"
"Oh, this is Lucy," I introduce her to them.
"Hi!" Mira and Levy cheer.
"Uh, hey," Lucy smiles at the two.
"You new here, Lucy?" Lissana asks.
"Oh, yeah. Just moved in yesterday."
"Well, in case you didn't know, this is Natsu Dragneel!" Lissana cheers.
Yeah. She knows who I am.
"I know," Lucy says, still smiling.
"Then you would know he's the captain of the football team, AND my boyfriend."
Is it me, or is Lis acting weird?
"Oh, cool," Lucy says awkwardly.
"In other words, she's telling you to back off," Levy whispers to Lucy.
"I am not!" Lissana laughs, "But he is mine, though. So, Lucy, have you thought about joining the cheerleading squad?"
"Who me? Oh, no, no!" She shakes her head.
"Why?" Mira asks.
"Yeah, we just lost a member, so there's an opening," Levy smiles.
"I..Uh…"Lucy fumbles as the girls surround her like blood thirsty vultures. Think it's about time I help her out.
"Hey, Luce," I look down at her.
"Yeah?" She looks up at me.
"We should get going. Don't want to be late on your first day, huh?"
She shakes her head.
I turn to Lissana. "See ya, Lis."
"Yeah...Bye." Lissana mumbles as Lucy and I walk to class.
Once third period was over with, I make my way to my usual hang out area with my friends. Gray, Gajeel, Loke, Lissana, Erza, Jellal, Levy and Juvia wait for me by the bleachers.
"Hey, guys," I say as I take a seat.
They all just stare at me.
What? Did I have something on my face?
Gajeel gestures above me. When I look up, I see Lucy standing there.
"Hi," SHe smiles sheepishly.
"Hey, Lucy!" Levy waves at her, "You can come sit by me!"
Lucy still keeps her smile at walk up the bleachers to Levy.
Guess it's my turn to say something.
"Guys, this is Lucy, she's new here," I say to the people who don't know her.
"Yeah, she called Gajeel and I a couple," Gray growls.
"Gray-sama! You are cheating a Juvia?!" Juvia cries. The girl thats obsessed with Gray for some unknown reason.
"What?! One, we're not together, two, WE ARE NOT TOGETHER!" Gray yells.
"Lucy, was it?" Erza asks. She's the other she-devil.
"That's me," Lucy replies.
"Are you in any clubs?"
"No, not yet," Lucy answers.
"She's joining the cheerleading squad," Levy answers for Lucy.
"I would love to see this pretty lady in a cheerleading outfit," Loke flirts. The head quarterback on the team.
"Loke, quit flirting, she just got here," Jellal says with a poker face and arms crossed.
After fourth period, Lucy and I walk down the hall to the lunch area.
"I really like Levy," Lucy says, "She likes all the books I like."
"Yeah, she's a book worm. Gajeel likes her, too," I reply.
"I would understand. She's really pretty and not to mention she's a cheerleader."
Once we enter the lunch area, I hand Lucy a tray and we take our choices of food.
"So what kind of clubs have you thought about joining?" I ask, trying to make conversation.
"Well, I really like baking, so I was thinking about joining the Cupcake Club with Juvia and Erza. But at the same time, I was thinking about joining the book club with Levy."
"If I were you," I suggest, "I would choose the Cupcake club. Because one, I love cupcakes, two, that club isn't held after school. And we need to get to work right after school."
"We..?" She mumbles under her breath.
"We work at the same place," I point out, "Figured we could go to work together. Is that okay?"
"Uh, yeah!" She stutters, "That would be great."
"Yo, Natsu!" Lissana calls from afar, waving at us from a table with our friends.
"Well, I better get going," Lucy says.
Going? Where the hell could she possibly go?
"Go where?" I ask.
"Oh, well, I said I liked reading so just thought I could eat at the library," She mumbled shyly. With her tinted cheeks, I could tell she was lying.
"Liar."
"Huh?"
"Listen, if you want to sit with us, you can. They all like you, so they're your friends too now," I say, walking ahead.
She pauses a moment and then decides to follow. We both sit down and Lissana instantly latches onto my arm.
"There you are!" She says in a squeaky voice, "What took you so long to sit down, hmm?"
"I was just talking to Luce," I reply truthfully.
"Hi," Lucy smiles and waves at Lissana sweetly.
Lissana let's out a breathy laugh, "Natsu, darling, her name is Lucy. Don't be making up strange pet names for her."
"Oh, I don't mind," Lucy replies, "Luce sounds fine."
Aw, how sweet. She's trying to keep me from getting in trouble.
"Luce? Oh, like 'luz' the spanish word for 'light', right," Levy smiles at Lucy.
"No," Lissana says almost in a deathly tone, "Luce, like the fish. A smelly fish."
Everyone looks at Lissana and I could tell Lucy was a little hurt by that comment. I got a little shocked. I don't get it. Lis has always been sweet to everyone. What is it about Lucy that just seems to make her tick?
"If it bugs you that much, I'll just stop calling her Luce. Better?" I say to Lissana.
There's an awkward pause. And I know it was a awkward moment because even Gajeel said, "Awkwwwarrrrrd."
"So, Lucy," Erza breaks the silence, "How are you liking you classes so far?"
"They're great, I have a a lot of them with Natsu. Funny, huh?" She giggles and I smile in reply.
"What?!" Loke cries, "Do we have any classes together? I hope so! Natsu, quit hogging her all to yourself, you bastard!"
"I'm not hogging anyone!"
Geez, here we go.
"Lucy and I have algebra and english together," Gray adds.
"Gray-sama! Are you cheating on Juvia?!"
"WE ARE NOT TOGETHER!"
"We have History and PE together, right, Lucy?" Levy smiles at her.
"That's right!" Lucy replies.
"Oh, I have history with you too, Lucy," Erza adds.
"Juvia, too," Juvia adds.
And with that, everyone started talking about all the classes everyone had with Lucy like it was a competition. Of course I won because all together we have four periods together out of all seven.
It seemed like everyone really liked Lucy-well, almost everyone. Lissana seemed to not like her very much. I don't really understand why. Lucy's sweet, she's smart, she's funny, she's cu-
Hold up.
Did I almost say what I think I almost said?
