Sorry for the late update! I was just so busy with school and midterms. And to make up to you guys, this chapter is twice as long as my other chapters! Also, to clear up any confusions, no one knows that Lucy parents are dead. They think that Lucy's parents are still alive because the company is so successful. There are NaLu moments in this chapter! Enjoy!:) (P.S. Sorry for any grammar mistakes!)
A girl with blonde hair slammed her locker as she was on her way to class. Little did she notice the banana peel that was right in front of her. She accidentally stepped on the peel causing her body to fall backwards. She landed on her butt and the books that she was carrying were now scattered around her.
"Hahaha, I can't believe that the nerd fell for the oldest trick in the book!" A pink hair boy commented while holding his stomach due to the pain of laughter.
"I didn't think that would actually work" said Erza dumbfounded.
"I got to admit that was pretty funny" said Gray chuckling.
I gave them dirtiest glare possible.
"Don't be like that, we were only having a little fun" Natsu smirked.
I ignored them and picked up my books from the ground. I got up and dusted my skirt off. I was about to leave when a hand harshly grabbed my shoulder and spun me around. I was face to face with Natsu.
"Blondie, you are now my toy" He said with a sly grin. I looked into his onyx orbs with disgust.
I thrusted my arm to loosen the grip he had on my shoulder and briskly walked away. I arrived to class five minutes late, but I didn't care.
"Ms. Amaya, you are late!" shouted Bickslow, the Biology teacher. "I just handed out the tests. Get to your seat and take the test quietly"
I walked to my seat and sat down. The 'Dragons' trio entered the room.
"You three are also late! Sit down and take the test that is on your desk!" Shouted the Bislow.
They groaned, but complied anyways.
The test was simple, at least to me. It only took a mere five minutes to complete. I put my head down on the desk as I waited for everyone else to finish. Twenty minutes later, all the students handed in and tests and we were free to socialize as the teacher sat at his desk to correct them.
"Hey Kaori~" sanged Levy.
"Hm?" I hummed.
"Did you get an invite to the Heartfilia's party tonight?"
"Yes"
"Then we should go together!" she said excitedly.
"I can't" I said bluntly.
"Aww, why not?" disappointed.
"I have to help with the family shop" I lied. I can't let her know that it's actually my party...
"Oh. Well maybe next time..."
"Yeah. Sorry." I felt guilty for lying to her.
"I'm so pumped up for the party!" shouted the pink hair boy from across the room. The whole class stopped their conversations to listen.
"Your so freakin loud! And plus you only going to get some dirty secrets on their company" said Gray.
"Well, how else am I going to surpass their company? A little dirt on them wouldn't hurt" said Natsu.
"Hush it! This isn't the time and place to discuss such matters" said Erza.
Note to self- watch out for Pinky.
"Class, quiet down. The tests have been graded. I will now hand them back in grade order, highest to lowest"
"Ms. Amaya, perfect score. However, next time don't be late" The class looked at me, impressed with the results. I just shrugged like it was nothing.
"Mr. Dragneel. 99%, I took one point off because you forgot to put the date and period on your paper. But besides that, it was perfect" Whispers surrounded the classroom. 'Natsu got second place? That's rare'.
'Damn, that nerd actually beat me' Natsu thought to himself. 'Whatever'.
"Quiet down. Next is Ms. Levy, Ms. Erza, and Mr. Gray. With 98%"
The teacher went on calling names until everyone was called.
The rest of school went by in a blur. School ended and I said my good byes to Levy.
I got home and saw Virgo setting up the ballroom. It was a half formal, half casual theme. Elegant tables were set up, stringers and balloons were hung, there was a orchestra and also a DJ.
I went up to my room and found a box sitting on my bed. I lifted up the lid to reveal a light pink dress with various gems around the neck line and a elegant ribbon around the waist. The dress only reached up to mid-thigh. I went to the bathroom to try it on. The dress fitted my figure perfectly, outlining all my curves in the right spots. I spun around like what girls do in movies. The dress with simply gorgeous. I walked out of the bathroom and was greeted my Loke. He examined me up and down, making me feel a little uncomfortable.
"You look amazing Princess. I knew the dress would suit you" He said, as I blushed from his comment.
"Thanks" I said shyly.
"But your not ready for the party yet. Sit down. I'll do your hair and make-up" I sat down in the chair at my vanity and closed my eyes. I felt a brush lightly touch my face and move in circles. Then I felt hands move through my hair in a relaxing way. "You may open your eyes now" I open my eyes and looked at myself through the mirror. The makeup with natural and highlighted my face. My hair was up in a elegant bun. I actually looked and felt beautiful. "Your still missing the most important thing" said Loke.
I tilted my head in confusion. "Huh?"
"Shoes" Loke took out a box and lifted the lid. Inside was a pair of sparkling white heels with gems around the strap. Loke got down to his knees and lifted my foot to put on the heels and then the other foot. "Great shoes will bring you to great places" he said giving me a wink. I could help but smile back.
"Shall we go now? Your guests are waiting" I nodded.
I held onto Loke's hand as he helped me down the stairs.
I looked inside the ballroom and I saw millions of students talking and laughing. Loke led me in and onto the stage to make a speech.
Loke tapped on the microphone and a loud buzz surrounded the room. Everyone got quiet.
"Good evening, students of Fairy Tail High. The host would now like to make a speech" said Loke. I took the microphone and cleared my throat.
"Good evening, everyone. First, I would like to say thank you for attending my party. Although I do not know you all personally, I hope that we can get along. The purpose of this party is to bring everyone together. As future heirs to our companies, we should learn to work together and take this world by storm. In order to do this, we must first become friends and learn what it truly means to be united" I said giving them a genuine smile. Claps filled the silent room. "Please enjoy the rest of the party" I took a quick bow before getting off the stage.
I walked to the back of the ball room, away from the crowd, and let out a huge sigh.
"Tired already? The party just started" I looked up, surprised by the sudden voice. I see pink hair. It was Natsu. He was wearing a formal suit, black shoes, and a black bow tie. He looked really handsome. I blushed and quickly shook my head to forget that thought. He's probably only talking to me to find out a secret so he can ruin my company. That's right, he said so himself today. 'Stay natural Lucy. He doesn't know that I know him'.
"Of course not! I just needed a breather" I said smiling.
"That't good. Then I guess you wouldn't mind if I asked you to dance with me?" He smiled. 'He looks charming when he smiles. Oh god, what is wrong with me today. Snap out of it Lucy'
"I would love to dance with you, but you haven't told me your name yet" I said as I took his hand.
He led me to the dance floor. "It's Natsu. Natsu Dragneel" One hand was holding my hand, while the other was around my waist. His face was just centimeters away from mine. He leaned in next to my ear and whispered into it. I blushed twenty shades of red as I felt his breath on my neck. "Tell me more about yourself Lucy"
"W-what do you want to know?" I said getting flustered.
"What are your hobbies?" he asked.
"Well, I like to write stories and rea-"
"Pfff. Hahahah. Sorry, it's funny cause I expected that answer from you" he said smiling. I didn't know whether or not to be offended that he laughed at my hobbies.
"Well then what are your hobbies?" I asked.
"Let's see. I like sports. Any kind. But I also like meeting cute girls, such as yourself" he winked at me. I blushed.
"Player" I said under my breath.
"I heard that" he said chuckling. "But you know, I actually never had a girlfriend before"
"Huh?" I looked up stunned.
"It's true! Most people don't believe me. I know it's corny, but I'm waiting for the perfect girl" he said, using his hand to cover up his blush. He actually has a cute side to him.
"I don't think it's corny. I think it's romantic. Your future girlfriend will be very lucky to have you" I smiled. He looks away blushing.
"It's hot in here. Let's go outside" He grabbed my hand and led me to the balcony.
The breeze was amazing and the stars were shining brighter than ever. We looked into the sky.
"You can see the Canis Minor tonight" I said pointing at a constellation in the sky.
"The what?" He looked at me.
"The Canis Minor" I chuckling. It was my mom's favorite constellation.
"What do you mean by was?" he asked.
"She and my dad are in the stars now" I said as a tears formed in the corner of my eyes.
"Oh. I didn't mean to bring up a bad memory" He said apologizing.
"No, it's fine. You didn't know" I said, forcing myself to let out a small smile.
A cold breeze went by and I shivered. Natsu noticed, took off his jacket, and put it over my shoulders.
"Thanks" I said.
"Let me make up to you" he said.
"Huh?" I questioned.
"Since you told me about you life. I want to give you something" he reached into his pocket and held something in his hand. "Turn around"
I turned around curious about what he was going to do. Something shiny went my head and onto my neck. I looked down at my chest and saw a necklace with a charm on it. As I looked closer, I saw that the charm was of a red dragon. I laughed in my head when I remembered that his group at school was called the 'Dragons'.
"Do you like it?" he asked. I turned back around.
"Yes" I smiled. I leaned in to give Natsu a kiss on the cheek as thanks when-
*Natsu's phone starts ringing, interrupting their moment
"Natsu! Where are you! We've been looking for you everywhere!" shouted Gray and Erza from the phone. I sweat-dropped from their loudness.
"I'll meet up with you soon. Bye" said Natsu.
"Wai-" they said as they got disconnected.
"Sorry about that. My friends are looking for me" said Natsu.
"It's fine. But you shouldn't keep them waiting. They seemed worried" I said, turning red as I remember what I was about to do..
"Hn" He took out a piece of paper and a pen from out of his pocket and started writing something before handing it to Lucy.
"Here's my number. You should text me somethings. It was nice meeting you, Luce. Well see ya!" He said with a goofy grin on his face.
I felt my face heating up. Thank god I was alone. I looked at the paper. This is the first time a boy had ever given me his number. I walked back into the ballroom. It was noisy and I didn't feel like dancing so I walked back to my bedroom. I sat on my bed. My shoulders felt stiff. That was when I realized that I still had Natsu's jacket! Crap! I'll have to return it to him at school tomorrow somehow.
Sigh. Well no point in worrying about it now. I lay back onto my bed and before I knew it, I was drifting off to sleep.
Finally done! I hope you like the Nalu moment! Don't forget to review and tell me how the story is so far. .
