WHEN WE WERE KIDS

CHAPTER FIVE

Classes finished at four, and I was dragged out by Natsu. He seemed exited about something. "Natsu! What are you doing?" I asked over the ruccus of kids charging outside. "I'm taking you to basketball, I want to see if you're any good." He said, giving me that freakin grin. "Natsu, I've never played basketball ever before, I don't know the rules." I said, nervously. "And that's exactly why your coming with me. Gray, Gajeel, Erza and me all play basketball in a club. There are other people, but we hang around together. I'm sure Erza can lend you a spare set of clothes." He said. "But, I-"

"Shh. No denying. Your coming with me." He said. I let myself be dragged outside of the school, and to the gymnasium next door. Outside, was Gray, talking to Erza. They saw us coming, and waved. "Hi guys. Natsu forced me to come." I said. "Natsu?" Erza questioned him. "I want to see if Luce is any good. You have a spare kit, right?"

"Pfff, since when did you start calling her Luce?" Gray mocked.

"Is that a problem, Frosty?"

"Boys!" Erza warned. "Natsu can call her whatever he likes, as long as she's okay with it. But Natsu, Gray was only asking a question, no need to get all aggresive. Lucy, here is a spare kit. Do you know how to play?" She handed me a red and yellow outfit. Tank top and shorts. On the upper right was the team name 'Fairy High BBT" It had the Fairy tail sign. "Why does it have the sign of the magic guild?" I asked. "The guild sponsors us, and the school, that's why we are called Fairy." She said. "So do you know the rules?"

"No, I've never played before."

"Hmmm...Here, the lesson starts in half an hour, I'm sure Macao will let us in before that." She said, she pulled me along with her, and walked up to a man with black hair, and tanned skin. "Hello, Macao. This is Lucy, she's a new student at Fairy High."

"Hello Lucy. Nice to meet you."

"Pleasure's all mine sir." I said. "Macoa is a wizard at Fairy Tail, he uses Purple Flare magic. But he is also the team coach." Erza told me. "Macao, I was wondering if I could go in the gymnasium quickly, and teach Lucy the basics?"

"Sure thing. I hope you join us Lucy."

"I hope I do to, sir." And we walked in. I changed into the outfit, and found it feminin enough for my liking. Erza looked great in hers, it matched her red hair. It matched my yellow hair to. She handed me a ball. "Lucy, how good are you at running?"

"I'm a fair runner, I can run fast for a pretty long time withou being to tired." I said, truthfully. "Good, do you know if you are good with hand eye coordination?"

"Okay too I guess, I played tennis when I was younger."

"Excellent. Stand here, and try to get the ball in the hoop." I tried, but missed. I tried again and again, and by the fourth shot, I got it in. From then on, I was on a winning streak, six hoops in a row. Erza clapped me on the back. "It seems you have a nack for this. Do you like playing?"

"Yes, it's great!" I said. She taught me how to dribble, and how the scoring system worked. After a while, we heard a clamour in the changing rooms, and they had obiously gone to get changed. Erza told me that there was Evergreen who was in our class, and Juvia often came and watched. Just on cue, the door to the stands opened, and in walked Juvia. She sat down, and opened a book on her lap. I climbed over the barrier, and went up to see her. "Hi, Juvia, we met earlier today." I said. She looked up at me. "Oh yes, it's Lucy. Why are you here? Are you after my Gray." She said, giving me an angry look.

"N-no! Natsu forced me to come, he wanted to see if I was any good." I said. Juvia relaxed, and smiled at me. "What are you reading?"

"I'm reading Journey to the Center of the Earth, by Jules Verne."

"Oh yeah, it's a classic. Do you like reading?"

"Mhm, it's realxing."

"Awesome, it's great to have fellow litterates, you and Levy." I said. "Lucy, come on down!" I heard a voice call. I looked down and saw Natsu call me down. He looked good in his outfit, it showed off his muscles. I climbed over the fence and joined him, Erza, and Gray.

"So how is she?" Natsu asked her avidly.

"She's good. A natural, even." Erza said. I smiled, flattered.

"Do you think you'll continue?" Natsu asked.

"Well, I like it, so why not?"

"Awesome, high five." He said, raising his hand, I raised mine and we high fived. Gray smiled, and waved at Juvia. She blushed and huridly waved back.

"Lucy, right?" A voice said from behind me. I looked around, to see Evergreen give an intimidating stare. She looked absolutely stunning in her kit. "Yeah, and you're Evergreen, we met today."

"I know. Are you joining the team?" She asked.

"Yes, I think so."

"Finally, a new girl." She said, relaxing her stare, and smiling at me.

Macao called us all in order, he gestured for me to go up next to him, so I went, feeling self consious.

"Everyone, this is Lucy, our newest recruit. She's never played before, but Erza tells me she's a natural, so cut her some slack. I need somebody who is a good player, but will go easy on her to begin with. Any volunteers?" He said. Two people raised there hands, Natsu, and Erza.

"Erza, you're helping me with Sting. Natsu, are you willing to help Lucy?"

"More than, Macao." He said, grinning at me. I was getting used to his grin, I started to like it. It made something in my heart twinge.

"Okay. Lucy, Natsu is one of our best players. So don't go to rough on him." He added, with a wink. I smiled in return, and went by Natsu. He taught me how to defend, and then how to attack. It was great fun.

When we left, it was already 6 p.m. I knew that obba-chan wouldn't mind, she told me I could stay out as late as I liked. Natsu was walking home along with me.

"Do you see that hill?" He said, pointing at a lone mountain on the outskirts of Magnolia.

"Yeah." I replied.

"There is a field up there, grass that comes up to your waist, and rocks, that are the best for free climbing."

"How do you know? Did you go up there once with the others?"

"No, not with the others. I don't know what happened. It was around two years ago, on a day like this. It was raining, and I was in my room. I heard thunder, and I saw a flash of lightning, but it was still warm weather. Suddenly, I had an urge to go up that mountain, in the rain, shirtless, and that's what I did. I was up there all by myself, just me and the thunder, the lightning, the wind , the rain, and it was amazing. I've waited for a day like that, but it hasn't come."

"It sounds amazing. Why are you telling me this?" I asked. He took my hand. I was intrigued be the contact, we had already held hands, but this felt different somehow.

"Because, those clouds over there definitly look grey, and I want to take you up there, it's always more fun with friends." He said, smiling sideways at me. I didn't know what to say, I opened my mouth, and closed it again, giving up, I turned my gaze back towards the road, and blushed. "When that weather will come, I'll come to your window, and I'll knock at it, three times. You will jump out of it, no using the door, and we'll run up the hill. Okay?"

"Alright, sounds like a plan." I replied, surprised by the randomness of it. We continued our way home, as we stood on the road in between five and four, Natsu held me back.

"Uh, Luce?" He asked.

"Mhmh?" I said back. He looked somewhat... worried about what he was going to say, it was kind of cute, him scratching his cheek and looking down at the sidewalk. He looked back up, and smiled.

"Nah, forget it. See you tomorrow!" He said, walking away.

"Hey! Hold on! What were you gonna say!" I said after him. He turned around, all while walking, and smiled. I sighed, and walked back home.

Obba-chan asked me about basketball, and how my day went, I answered that it went well. We had dinner, talking about various things. As I went into my room, I looked out of the window briefly. Natsu's curtains weren't closed, but his light wasn't on. Suddenly the door to his room flew open, and I caught a fleeting glimpse of him. He was crying... And his teeth were clenched, like as if he were angry. He disapeared from my view, and I felt like I was intruding, so I closed my curtains, and went to bed.
