++My dear Yousei-san! I did something stupid again!++
Advice Drei
=Stupidity Level 100%=
IMPORTANT NOTE: I have an exam coming up and this isn't a normal exam. It's an exam to see if I can get into the school I want. If I fail the exam then I can say goodbye to fanfiction and any electronic devices. So, in order for me to have more time prepare for the exam, any of my stories will not be updated until FEBUARY 16 Thank you very much ^_^
"H-hello Natsu," stuttered Lucy seeing her crush in front of her. He held her with a curious expression. He nodded.
"You're the one that called me here?"
"Yes, I-I-I just w-wanted to say s-something. I-I'm sorry for punching you!" spluttered out Lucy. There. I said it. I said it all. Please, please, please don't hit me back my awesome crush! He smiled at her.
"It's okay. Besides, I ate that candy that you dropped and it tasted really sweet!" he exclaimed grinning. Lucy looked up in shock and realization. That candy...that really sweet candy. H-he ate the candy that Yousei-san gave me! He ate it which means that he and I have a chance in love! Ahhhh, he reminds me so much of those hot character from anime! .
"Thank you for forgiving me. I-I thought that you would hate me or something," she muttered looking guilty. Natsu laughed.
"Nah, it's okay. Besides, you have a really strong punch. I would have loved to have you join the soccer team. You would be a good goalie since you have a lot of arm strength. You would be able to catch all those balls that usually injure us. But really, I'm surprised. I always thought that you were proud and cocky. I didn't think you would be this nice!"
"I-I I'm sorry if I made a bad impression," said Lucy. Internally, she was fangirling like crazy. If this was an anime situation, she would be flying away with a nosebleed. He. Is. Just. Too. Damn. Perfect.
"Well, I guess the punch did hurt but you look like you seriously don't mean it. It's really alright," he smiled. AHHHHHHHH, SOOOOOO NICE!
Lucy gulped. "Thank you so much! A-and...y-you know..." He looked at her with curiosity. Can't hold it back any longer, she thought. "YOU WOULD MAKE AN AWESOME BOYFRIEND!"
"Eh?" He looked at her with a dumbfounded expression.
She blushed. "Ah-ah..um, you see. You know, y-you're really n-nice a-and perfect. A-and you're a-also r-r-really h-h-h-h-h-HOT!" She let out. His eyes widened as he looked at her with shock. She put her hand to her mouth. What had she just said. "I-I'm so sorry!" she cried running out again. "Ugh!" she groaned crashing into someone. She looked up to see Gray Fullbuster, Natsu's best friend. "I'm sorry," she muttered running away. Gray raised an eyebrow but turned back to Natsu.
"Hey Natsu, we're going home. What are you doing here?"
Natsu finally found his voice. "Gray...I...met..a very interesting person today."
Gray looked at him curious. "You mean that girl that just ran out? Did she confess to you or something? Run away because you rejected her?"
"Gray, her name was Lucy Heartfilia and-" He blushed recalling the events. He was never really good with girls. Why did god have to make his life so harsh. "Never mind. Let's go home Gray," muttered Natsu walking out of the room. Gray shook his head.
"Now I'm really curious..."
(✖╭╮✖)
"YOUSEI-SAN!" cried Lucy. No reply. "Yousei-san?" whimpered Lucy a little more freaked out now. "Yousei-san where are you!"
"Heartfilia. What are you doing after school hours?" asked a teacher standing at the doorway.
"Eh-eh? I-I was.."
"She was waiting for me, Rye-sensei~" came the cheerful voice. Lucy sighed in relief. The teacher turned around and nodded.
"Okay, hurry up you two." With that said, the teacher left.
"Hey, what's up? Are you praying to god again?" asked Kiyoshi cheerfully. Lucy wiped her false tears sulking by herself.
"What are you doing here?"
He pouted. "Is that what you say to the person that just helped you escape detention? You're meaner than I thought Lucy..." Lucy sighed.
"Sorry, it's just that there's so much going on, let's go home." He tilt his head in confusion but then smiled again.
"Okay then!"
I swear this dude's a lantern...thought Lucy. "So you had volleyball tryouts?"
"Yep! And I made it too! You see, even though they don't usually give you the result right away, they accepted me so quickly! I heard that they were going to get me to join their team the moment I came to this school. That's sort of creepy...So, do you have any club activities?"
Lucy sighed. "No, I don't. All the ones that I went to ended up as failures."
"Which ones?"
"Oh, I've tried so many. I was okay I guess in the swimming team until Leiko came and replaced me. In the literacy club, no matter how many books I read, I just didn't have the same interests as them and I left. I didn't make it past any auditions in the drama
club. I suck at music and I really am not good at anything else," replied Lucy solemnly.
"The only that you seemed okay with is the swimming team? Who's Leiko?"
Lucy looked at him as if he just became an alien. "You seriously don't know one of our school's most popular girls? White hair, gray eyes, red cheeks." Kiyoshi's face turned sour.
"Oh...her."
"You don't like her?" frowned Lucy. "I thought she was really nice."
His face turned from sour into exasperation. "Do you call bullying girls every single day at recess, trash talking people and clinging onto boys a nice person?"
"She bully's people? She never trash talked me and is always really nice to me. She was one of the few people that remembered my birthday."
Kiyoshi shrugged. "I dunno but I hate her. Especially when she started hugging me...ugh, it was like she was trying to eat me or something!" Lucy let out a laugh.
"That's a sight to see!" Lucy thought for a bit. "Hey Kiyoshi?"
"Hm?"
"Why are you talking to me so much? I'm just a normal person and you have so many other friends that you can get to walk home with you..." He shrugged.
"I actually don't know myself. Those 'friends' I have are just people that cling onto me because of my reputation as an awesome volleyball player. They know that if they don't treat their sports trump card well, then they'll lose their next game and get laughed at by the school. They're just using me. The other popular guys...well, you would think that I'm really popular guy already but the people that flock to me are just higher on the popular scale but not the highest. I'm not technically the most popular guy since the main group didn't accept me."
"You mean Natsu, Gray and others?"
"Yeah, to them, I'm just someone who's good at volleyball. I haven't shown my skill yet but when I do, I think that's when they'll accept me. To answer your question of why I talk to you...well, maybe it's just because you aren't nice to me because I'm good at volleyball. Other people...you get the idea."
"I see," answered Lucy quietly.
"Whatever, well, see ya!" he said walking away. Lucy looked in confusion until she realised that she was standing in front of her house. She shrugged and walked in the house.
"I'm home!" she called. "Dad? Where are you!"
"Yeah! I'm in the study room trying to work out new computer here! Cana already came and made us dinner!" Lucy smiled. Cana was one of the people who worked with her mother when she was writing a novel. Even though Layla was dead, Cana still came over and cooked for them since Jude's cooking really sucked.
"Thanks!" she called back. The moment she sat down on the dinner table, she cringed. She almost forgot. She had just called Natsu Hot and Yousei-san wasn't there to help her! No offense to Kiyoshi but she didn't know him well enough to start telling him all her secrets. Her dad wouldn't be able to understand. Juvia and Levy had given up on her. The only person that she could turn to...
She grabbed her phone and starting texting.
[celestialstellar777]: Hey, r u there?
[holylightdragonxxnova]: Hm? wasup?
[celestialstellar777]: r u free now?
[holylightdragonxxnova]: sry, have homework :( can we chat here?
[celestialstellar777]: K :/ 2day was horrible. Called Natsu hot.
[holylightdragonxxnova]: OMG serious? O.O
[celestialstellar777]: yep. I did that. what should i do? :'(
[holylightdragonxxnova]:...
[holylightdragonxxnova]: sry, i really dunno. I'm really sry :( I think u should just act normally.
[celestialstellar777]: k then, thanks :)
[holylightdragonxxnova]: ur welcome.
Lucy sighed starting on her dinner. How could she expect Sting to know the answer to every single little problem she had. She needed to become more independent and think for herself. Not always rely on her friends. She resisted the urge to text Rogue. He was probably busy as usual.
(✖╭╮✖)
"What's wrong Sting?" asked Rogue from the corner on the laptop. Sting looked up from his homework at his best friend, also his housemate.
"What made you think there was something wrong?"
"Well, you sighed and then you started working with this depressing face. It's obvious that something is wrong," stated Rogue. He grabbed the drink next to him and starting to drink Sting sighed.
"Lucy called Natsu hot in front of him." Rogue gagged and gasped for air as he swallowed the water in his mouth. He looked at Sting.
"Say what?"
"Lucy called Natsu hot in front of him." Rogue looked shocked. A rare emotion.
"Seriously?"
"Yep."
"Wow...just, wow. I never thought that she would be so bold..."
"It's just in Lucy's nature you know," shrugged Sting. "But you know..." He looked down with a depressed look. "You know Rogue."
Rogue sighed not knowing what to do. "I know, I know. You know, you should just tell her." Sting shook his head.
"I would never ruin her happiness. She deserves to choose."
"Whatever you say. Just don't regret it."
(✖╭╮✖)
Lucy took a deep breath as she stepped into the school gates. "Hey Lucy!" called Juvia running up to her. "Hey Lucy, did you get the answer for Q.13 of yesterday's math homework?"
"Yep, I can show you later if you want." Juvia sighed with relief.
"Thank you so much Lucy, I thought I was doomed!"
"Hey Lucy," greeted Levy happily.
"Hello Levy. What class do you have first?" Levy quickly checked her schedule.
"Seems like I've got Biology. What do you have Lucy? Juvia?"
"Juvia has Visual Arts."
"I've got French. Seems like we're all separated for first period." Levy nodded.
"That's a bit sad. Well then, see you guys, I've got to get to class!"
"Juvia will also be going to her class now."
Lucy turned around and started walking her direction to her French class. She unpacked her stuff into the locker and got out the things she would need for her classes. She walked into the class and took a seat towards the front of the room. The teacher, nodded at them.
"Okay, we will start French class now. As you know, we learned various new French verbs and put them in parfait and passe compose form. This time, I have a project for you. I will choose your partner out of the jar I have over here. The project is to write and create a presentation about the pollution of the environment but it must be written in French. The details are on the sheet. I will choose your partners now."
Lucy started tuning out looking at her sheet. She didn't have any friends in this class so she didn't really care we she ended up with. She was going to do majority of the work anyway she guessed.
"Lucy Heartfilia and Gray Fullbuster."
Lucy looked up from her sheet of paper in surprise. Gray Fullbuster...Gray..wasn't that Natsu's best friend. Crap. This would be really bad if he found out that she liked him. Calm down Lucy, you don't even have to talk to him that much. This project may be a long one but you can avoid the conversation of Natsu easily right? Wait...wasn't he the one I bumped into after I called Natsu hot? Yeah! The same hair and cool gaze...God no. Please don't tell me that he remembered me? Oh, he better had not remember me otherwise I'm so screwed!
"Um...Lucy right? Want to start going through the details?" asked Gray startling her.
"Y-yeah! S-so how do you want to split the project?" she asked.
"Split the project? Would you be alright if we did the entire thing together? I'm used to working with Natsu and we would do it together. I think it's also advantageous because we know what we're going to say in front of the class."
"Sure, why not? Let's do it together." Gray looked at her closely.
"Hey, are you the girl that ran out of the classroom yesterday?" Crap. NOOO PLEASE...WHY? cried Lucy inwardly.
"A-are you sure it was me? I-it may have been someone else..."she stuttered. He shook his head.
"Nope. It was definitely you. There aren't many people with your shade of blonde hair and you're the only one that puts it up in that style," he said pointing to her unique small ponytail to the side.
"I...see?"
"Did Natsu reject you or something?"
"No," she blurted out quickly. "I-I just wanted to say something a-and I was just leaving."
"But you seemed to be in a hurry," he said not believing her.
"Yeah, my dad might have gotten a little worried about me so I wanted to hurry up," said Lucy quickly finding her excuse. Gray shrugged.
"Whatever you say. I'll be nice and drop the topic even though I am really curious about what you asid to Natsu. Anyways about this project. Ms. Vick said that she can't give us any more class time so want to arrange a day to go to each other's houses?"
"Sure? Who's house should be go to first?" asked Lucy getting a bit nervous.
"I dunno. Want to rock, paper, scissor?"
"Ah, sure." Gray ended up losing since he choose paper and Lucy got scissors.
"Okay then, my house. When are you free? You can come over to my house any time."
"Let's get a head start tomorrow since my head is still fresh from this." Gray nodded agreeing with her.
"It's set then. Tomorrow at my house right after school?"
"Yep."
"Okay, I'll go now then," said Gray walking away and joining his friends. Lucy stared back on her paper pondering what she should do next. She shivered as she felt a cold gaze on her back. It was a popular person, probably glaring at her for being partner with Gray. She ignored it. Should I apologize to Natsu again? Nah, it'll be a disaster for me...I think for now, I'll just back off a little.
Yep, just back off a little.
(✖╭╮✖)
"Biology was sooo boring, I could have fallen asleep," complained Levy. "I don't think I should have chosen it this semister."
"Juvia agrees. Juvia took it before and did not enjoy it when she was in middle school."
"But that was middle school!"
"I think I took biology before too when I was in-" Lucy was cut off as someone hit her as she was passing by spilling spaghetti and orange juice on her. It was one of the popular girls, Catherine. She was also the person who stalked Kiyoshi the most, Lucy noted.
"Oops, I'm sorry," she said haughtily looking at Lucy as if she was trash. "I didn't even realize that you were there. I guess you were too much of a trash bag." Lucy felt her face burn as she looked down. She didn't even do anything! "I don't get why Leiko is so nice to you. You're just another one of those bacteria germs to our school."
"CATHERINE!" shouted a voice that was getting louder. A white haired girl with pale gray eyes and blush on her cheeks ran over looking angry. "I told you not to pick on her!"
"I don't get why she's worth it Leiko, you're so much better than her!"
"Oh shut up Catherine! You're only being mean like this because you know you've got competition with me and the only way you'll ever harm me is using her! COWARD!"
"WHAT? I AM A COWARD? YOU ARE THE COWARD LEIKO SINCE YOU NEVER BOTHER DOING ANYTHING RIGHT! AND YOU HIDE BEHIND YOUR OWN REPUTATION OF BEING MEAN TO GIRLS!"
"I don't see that you are any better," Leiko said growling.
"Oh, but I am better since I don't associate myself with b**** trash like this one over here. Did you know what this whore did? She purposely rigged the draw in French class so that she could end up with Gray Fullbuster. Oh, how desperate you are for a boyfriend."
"I didn't-" protested Lucy.
"Oh shut up. You're words aren't needed here. I hear you get to go to his house tomorrow too. What a horrible b*** you are. I'm sick of your sight," said Catherine grasping Lucy's hair and pulling it making her yelp in pain. Lucy looked around desperately for the other popular people but none of them were there other than Leiko and Catherine +company.
"Catherine you asshole, shut the f*** up!"
"You're so arrogant Leiko. Oh, but that's what your name means too right? Arrogant child. An arrogant child that protects this trash over here. Oh, her mother should have just killed herself instead of giving birth to this trash." Lucy couldn't take it anymore.
"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!" The cafeteria fell silent as they listened to her. "HOW THIS SITUATION BECAME LIKE THIS, I DON'T EVEN KNOW. FOR ONCE, I DID NOT RIG THAT F*** SH**HOLE OF A DRAW. IT'S A STUPID DAMN DRAW AND I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE GETTING SO WORKED UP FOR IT! IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUCH A B*** ABOUT THIS F**** SITUATION, THEN JUST TELL GRAY THAT YOU LOVE HIM ALREADY DAMMIT! I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH YOUR SH**!" screamed Lucy with tears coming out of her eyes. She slapped Catherine's hand away.
"Lucy I-" started Leiko.
But Lucy ran away. Away from all the strife that was happening in the cafeteria. It's funny how a day can change from good to bad so quickly. This day was just going to be another day yet it had escalated so quickly. Catherine had insulted her mother saying that her mother, Layla should have just died. But Layla was already dead.
"Dammit..." muttered Lucy more tears coming out remembering the funeral years ago. The clear skies with sunshine, it was so mocking. So mocking...The coffin being broken by little kids, Layla's body lying there peacefully in the coffin.
There was so much pain...
So much pain...
It hurts.
It had hurt.
And it's coming back.
The horrible black void that could never be filled...
"DAMMIT!"
Well, things escalated quickly. :3 I wanted some high school drama. Don't hate me please :) Oh and...PLEASE GIVE ME ADIVICE HOW TO WRITE GOOD STORIES O.O I really need it. And please don't say stuff like "Grammer, spelling etc." Please give advice like...how to capture a reader's attention!
