I'm currently eating noodles. Yum-yums in my tum-tum :3 ENJOY~
Ch. 3
It's after school and I sit on the bleachers. I'm supposed to be waiting for Lissana to start our anniversary date, but I am stressing out rather than planning.
My eye is twitching, my leg thrusts up and down as I tap my foot in an uneven rhythm.
Oh…..God.
What am I going to do?!
Bro, I am showering in my own sweat. Disgusting, I know. I don't even have flowers or chocolate, or a puppy, or a car, or a ring…I'm dead. I'm so dead. I'm beyond dead.
No one's going to show up to my funeral. My tombstone's going to say 'here lies an idiot'. Lissana's going to spit on my poor decapitated body. They're going to build a parking lot over my grave. I'm more than dead. I'm doomed.
Sentenced to damnation. I have displeased the dating god.
"Natsu?"
SHIT.
She's here!
uh-oh...I'm frozen. Come on, Natsu boy. It's a one step process. Move your damn neck.
I look up to the girl and pry my eyes up to her.
OH THANK GOD! It's just Lucy.
"Hey, Luce," I sigh in relief.
"Ready for work?" She smiles.
Work? WORK! MY SAVIOR!...never thought i'd ever say that.
"Work!" I cry in happiness, "So I can worry about my date later!"
"Oh, do you have a date with Lissana?"
"No, well, yes. But, later," I answer.
"Aw, how sweet, what are you going to do for her?"
…
"About that…" I scratch the back of my head. I dart my eyes from side to side to see if anyone was around. Coast clear. I grab hold of Lucy's shoulders and shake her furiously back and forth.
"I DON'T KNOW! I need help! Lissana is going to murder me in ways you didn't even think were possible!"
I let go of her shoulders and her face was a shade of green and she wobbles a bit. Bit then shakes her head and she was back to normal. Weird...I only thought that happened in cartoons..
"Well, Have you even given the thought of what you might do?"
"No. Can you help me? What do girls like to do for dates and junk like that?" I ask.
She presses a finger to her chin and looks up, thinking.
"Hmm. Well, every girl is different. How about you take her to a drive thru movie?" She suggests.
"Like, the one's they used in the ancient times? Where you sit in your car and bring your own snacks?"
What the hell?
"Yeah," She smiles, "It's simple, yet, different."
She reaches into her purse and pulls out two tickets, "Here. There's a romance playing tonight at seven. I was going to go see it, but the person I was going to go see it with bailed. So, you can have my tickets and use them for your date."
She holds the tickets out to me.
WHAT?! Is she for real?! Not only is she helping me out with my date, but she's also providing me with the tickets?! I'll feel like a giant douche if I take these from her.
"What? No!" I object.
"It's no trouble," She says, "It would be weird going by myself. And even if I did, I would still have one ticket gone to waste. So please, take them. Lissana's such a nice girl, she deserves to be treated right."
Nice girl?
I know Lissana's my girlfriend and all, but this is the girl that practically called Lucy a smelly fish. She's here saying that she deserves to be treated right and calling her a nice girl. There's a word for people like her...what are they called? People who are nice to people that are total jerks…
"You really don't have to," I say.
"I know, but I want to," Lucy smiles a smile that would make the brightest star jealous.
What? Where'd that come from…?
"Then, let me pay you back," I say reaching into my back pocket to get my wallet.
"Don't you dare," She growls.
I look up at her in a shocked manner.
Her smile reappears, "You already paid me enough."
I blink at her. I haven't paid her anything. At least, I don't think I did.
"You opened up your friends to me. You showed me kindness in a way I didn't even think was possible! So, for that, i'm paying you back."
Wow, I wasn't even trying to be kind. Well, I was, but I just did it because she's the new girl.
I take the tickets from her petite hand, "Thanks, Lucy…"
"No biggie!" She giggles, "Oh, here comes Lissana. Tell her I said hi, i'm going to wait for you in the front of the school so we can head to work."
She walks away and Lissana runs up to me, practically tackling me and then smashing our lips together.
"Hi, Natsu-bear," She whispers.
"Um...Hi," I gulp.
"I saw Lucy talking to you. What did she want?" Lissana asks.
"Oh, she just told me she's waiting for me for work," I reply.
"Oh...You two are going to work together?"
"Well, yeah. She's working at my job now so I'm just going to show her the ropes and stuff."
Lissana pouts, "You two are spending a lot of time together."
"It's not like I have a choice. He have a ton of classes together, her friends are my friends, and we work at the same job!" I say in a somewhat offended tone.
Her bottom lip begins to shudder and she furrows her eyebrows together.
Oh crap. She's doing it again. I let out a sigh and pat her head.
"Don't worry," I say with a reassuring smile, "You're the only one for me. And i'm going to take you out around seven. So be ready"
"Really?" She whimpers.
"Really," I give her a kiss on the forehead.
For some reason...It didn't feel like most kisses I give her.
I have given her countless kisses before, but that time, it felt more like I was obligated to do that. It was my job as a boyfriend to give her kisses and tell her half-hearted words.
I dunno.
Maybe I'm watching too much of Wendy's vampire love triangles.
Lucy and I sit in the car silently as we drive to work together. The radio on low when I start thinking about what Lucy said. That someone bailed on her for the movie.
Who would want to bail on Lucy?!
If it were me, I would do anything to make sure I go through with my date with Lucy. She's just so nice and sweet. Even if the tickets were no good to her anymore, I would never have the balls to do something like that to someone I barely met and not ask for something in return.
Wow, hearing myself say that i'm a real dick.
But since i'm on the subject….
'"Hey, Luce, who bailed on you?"
Because think about it…
She's going to go see a movie-that happen to be a romance-at night, under the stars, in a car...Does she have a boyfriend?
"Oh, it was just a friend."
LIAR!
"Was is a boyfriend?"
She shrugs, "He is a boy that's a friend. We do like each other and go on dates. But, he doesn't want to commit, so we're not together. But I do like him. A lot."
"Oh…"
Who wouldn't want to date a girl like Lucy?!
"Well, he's missing out," I repl-WHAT THE HELL, NATSU?! THAT COULD BE TAKEN WRONG!
She turns and blushes. Dammit.
Great. NICE GOING NATSU. It's awkward now. If Gajeel were here he'd be like, "Awwwwkwaaarrrddd."
I turn up the radio a bit when a familiar song goes comes on. Lucy instantly goes crazy.
"OMG! I LOVE THIS SONG!" She screeches.
She turns it up a bit more and I can hear the beat. It started off with a guitar and bass and then dives right into the lyrics as Lucy sings along.
We're too young
This is never gonna work
That's what they say
You're gonna get hurt
But I know something they don't...
I hear your heart
Beating right in time
Right from the start
I knew I had to make you mine
And now I'll never let you go
Don't they know that love won't lie?
I turn to Lucy who starts singing at the top of her lungs, and she wasn't that bad either. She looked cute singing along. Oh crap, NATSU, ROAD!
Don't listen to the world
They say we're never gonna make it
Don't listen to your friends
They would have never let us start
And don't listen to the voices in your head
Listen to your heart
She sways her head to the pause and I find myself doing the same.
This promise
Doesn't have to be too loud
Just whisper
I could find you in a crowd
I think it's time we ran away
Your father
Says I'm not good enough, and
Your mother
She thinks that this is just a phase
I think that we should run away!
Once again she begins rocking out to the chorus and I can't keep in my laughter.
Don't listen to the world
They say we're never gonna make it
Don't listen to your friends
They would have never let us start
And don't listen to the voices in your head
Listen to your heart
You gotta listen to your heart
Go on and listen to your heart
Come on and listen to your heart!
The song gets a bit faster and the bass and guitar still play.
It'll tell the truth
It'll set you free
It'll say that you were meant for me
And this is where we're supposed to be
Don't listen to the world
They say we're never gonna make it
But I know we'll make it!
Who knew one song could make a girl so happy?
Don't listen to your friends
They would have never let us start
And don't listen to the voices in your head
Love will never ever let us fall apart
You gotta listen to your heart
Come on and listen to your heart
You gotta listen to your
Come on and listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
The song ends with one last strum of the guitar and Lucy is all out of breath. Her cheeks are tinted a bit as she smiles at me,
"Sorry. I really like that song."
"I could tell," I chuckle.
I'm done. With both the Chapter and the noodles. The song is called "Listen to Your Heart" By the Maine. I love them :3 Anyway, hope you enjoyed, don't forget to leave a review! STAY TUNED MY LOVELIES!
