WHEN WE WERE KIDS
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Previoulsy: Who is the person sending Lucy threatening letters? What are the elders of Magnolia doing? Does Natsu have feelings for Lucy? Will she be able to visit her mother's grave without being seen? Is Lucy going to say anything about the letters, or just let the blackmail continue, whilst waiting for her two months to be over? And the most craziest question of them all, what is Natsu's condition for him to tell her who his crush is?
"On one condition." He repeated.
"Yes, what is it?"
"Actually, two conditions." He said.
"Name them."
"I decide when, and straight after I tell you, no reaction time, you tell me yours." He said.
"Okay, but the deadline is a month."
"Okay, I was going to tell you in less than a month anyway. Come on, let's hurry, or we will be late."
"Yes, here, I can take my bag." I said, taking back my satchel and swinging it over my shoulder.
We ran the rest of the way, and we got there just in time. Cana laughed at us, as we sat down at the table, panting.
"So I leave you on your own, and your late, have a little restarint..." she said.
"Cana!" I said back. "I need to go and find someone, I'll see you later." I said.
"'Kay, don't be late." Natsu said, grinning, I smiled back, as I walked of to find Felicia.
I walked into the corridors, having no idea were she was.
"Lucyyyyyy." A voice said from behind me. I turned around, and saw Sting poke his head around a corner. He was grinning, as he came to walk next to me.
"Good morning Sting." I said, unexpresionless.
"Why so cold? I heard you ran of, was that when I caught you at the gates?" He asked, putting his arm around my shoulder.
"Who did you hear it from?"
"Natsu, Levy, Cana, Erza, Mirajane, you gave them a scare, Lucy-Chan." He said.
"Well they found me. Do you know where Felicia is?" I asked, still cold.
"Felicia Merel? Why would you want to go and see her?"
"My business. Do you?"
"So cold, Lucy-Chan... Yes, she's in the gym, as always."
"The gym?"
"Yes, special priviliges for some reason. Hurry up, Lucy-Chan, the bell is going to ring soon, and have you remembered all your books? And re-read your lessons and notes?" He asked, teasing me. I felt like there was another meaning to his question, I stopped, and looked at him.
"What?"
"Just reminiding you...I heard you were kind of preoccupied these last days. Are you in love?" He said, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Tsch." I said, and walked off. I heard him chuckle behind me. The gym door was open, and I walked into the space equiped for gymnatsics, and on the blue mat, was Felicia, sitting cross legged. I saw her shoulders raise and fall, as if she was doing some kind of breathing exercise.
"Who is it?" She said, in her usual couldn't-care-less voice.
"Hi, sorry, it's Lucy." I said, walking in. She turned around.
"Lucy, did you read the letter I gave you?" She asked, getting up.
"Yes."
"And?"
"And what?"
"Was it of any importance?"
"A private message. I came to ask you if you could tell me who gave it to you."
"I could." She said.
"So...who is it?"
"But I won't. Strict policy, as the student representative, any message or remarque can be given anonimously, if I did otherwise, I would be banned from the disciplinary board."
"Felicia, it's important, please."
"And so is my training. The bell's going to ring soon, so go." She said, sitting back down.
"Just because your the student representative doesn't mean you can tell all of us what to do!" I said, angry.
"No, your right." She said, walking back towards me. I stepped back, frightened by her stare. "But the fact that I'm me does." She said, taking my collar and dragging me effortlesly out. The bell rang, and all the classes enetered there class rooms. She pulled me up to bioligie, my first class again, and knocked on the door.
"How do you know my classes?" I asked, as she bought me up into a standing position again. The door opened, and miss Ultear saw us.
"Hello miss Ultear, I can account for Lucy's absense. Please excuse her, she was talking to me about important matters."
"Okay Merel. Thank you, if only all our students could be like you..." she said, as I walked in. The class was as out of control as usual. Natsu turned around and gave me a scolding stare, I just raised my shoulders. I went and sat next to him.
"Where were you?" He asked.
"Stuff." I said back.
"Lockser! Please concentrate on the board rather than on Fullbuster!" Ultear said.
"What's stuff?"
"Private business."
"M'kay." He said, giving up.
The class passed with not much said between us, and then we were in french class, where I sat next to Levi. Once sitting at the table, I put my head in my arms with a sigh.
"Tired, Lu-chan?" Levy asked, laughing.
"Yes..."
"Did you stay up all night, or was it partying?"
"You'd never guess..."
"Ah, Lu-chan, I had the best night ever!" She said, leaning against my back. I lifted my head up, to see her smiling, absent mindedly. She looked back down at me.
"As my faviroute girl friend, can you keep a gossipy secret?" She asked.
"Of course." I said, raising my head in interest. She smiled.
"Okay, you know Gajeel?"
"Yeah, the one who you like."
"I went on a date with him!" She said, silently squealing, I was happy for her, after all, I definitley thought they were a cute couple.
"Really?! Did anything happen?" I asked, she nodded.
"Yes! He gave me a kiss on my cheek when he dropped me off at home!" She said, pointing to her cheek.
"That's so cute! Have you seen him today?"
"No...I'm worried things will be to awkward..." she said, fiddling with her hands. She looked back up at me. "Okay, I've told my gossipy secret, now tell me yours, I know you have one, Lu-chan..." she said, nudging my elbow. Why not tell her? "Go on Lu-chan, who's your crush?" She pried.
"Okay...I'll tell you, but as long as you keep it secret till you die!"
"I cross my heart." She said, looking very serious.
"Fine...my crush..."
"Yes?"
"Is..."
"Yes?"
"A bastard."
"But who? And why?"
"He..."
"Yes..."
"Is..."
"Tell me Lu-chan!"
"Okay, I have a major major crush on Natsu." I admited, and blushed the most heaviest blush I may of ever blushed. She squealed again.
"I knew it! Plus you always hang out together and you're super friends and- hold on, why is he a bastard?" She asked. I sighed.
"You know we're neighbors?" I asked, she shook her head. "Well now you do. Our windows are in front of each other, and he keeps breaking into my room. Last night, I was listening to music with my eyes closed, so I didn't hear him come in, and he snatched a bud off me. So I was telling him about my playlist, and all the emotions that came with each song, and then on comes the song on which I used to daydream about what my first kiss would be like. Did I tell you about Cana's house?"
"No, what about it?"
"We went to her's to have a sleep over, but we played truth or dare, and Natsu was my first kiss..."
"Too. Damn. Kawaii." She said. "So back to when you were listening to music together..."
"Well he asked me what emotion that song was, and I said he wouldn't understand, because he isn't the romantic type."
"Obviously."
"But actually, he is kind of romantic."
"No way!"
"Yeah, he took my hand and we danced, and then I asked him if he had crush, and he said yes, well he said maybe, but he meant yes. And then I made the stupid mistake of asking if dancing was how he imagined confessing to her, and he said it was to boring."
"I don't see where this is getting at?"
"After he said it was to boring, he said, he would rather it was something like 'this'" I said, throwing up air quotes.
"What's 'this'" she asked.
"He basicly pushed me against a wall, started kissing and biting my neck, and then gave me an acidental love bite." I said, putting my hand to my neck. Levy's eyes widened.
"So you basicaly made out with a guy you aren't even in a relationship with?"
"No, he made out with me, besides, he doesn't even understand the concept of self control."
"So, Natsu knows how to love bite?"
"No, he said he did what felt right." I sighed. She smiled.
"Did it feel right?" She asked.
"Levy-chan! Are you actually are secret pervert?"
"No, I just want to know, that's all..." she said. I sighed, and looked shamefully at her.
"It was amazing" I wispered, she smiled again.
"How did you stop?"
"I told him he was going to far."
"Did he drop any hints?"
"What? Appart from kissing my neck? Yes actually..." and I told her about the running out of the window scene. She clapped her hands exitedly. "Enough about me, we need to sort you and Gajeel out." I said.
After all the classes had finished, and Levy and I had gossiped enough, I led her outside. We spotted Gajeel sitting at a bench on his own.
"Hey girls! What's up?" Someone said in a loud voice, putting there arms over each of our shoulders. We turned round, and shushed him.
"What?" Natsu asked, puzzled.
"This is something very important, so please don't ruin it!" I said. I saw Levy glance at me, and giggle mischievously.
"What's happening?" He wispered.
"You're about to see." I said, as Levy walked towards Gajeel. He waved at her, as she sat down next to him, while Natsu and I hid behind a tree. We saw her talk, and blush, then Gajeel talk and blush, and then they leant closer together, and kissed.
"Yes!" I said, in victory.
"Why can they kiss and we can't?!" Natsu said, not understanding what was going on.
"Do I really need to tell you again about relationships and stuff?!"
"But there not in a relationship!"
"They just became a couple, you dummy!" I said, tapping his head.
"Oh...So they had a crush on one another?" He asked.
"Yes, just like you have a crush on someone, and one day, that will happen to you." I said, rolling my eyes at his slow brain.
"And you." He said.
"No, my crush already has a crush..." I sighed.
"That makes two of us." He sighed as well.
"Hey, Lucy!" Levy called, I looked around the tree, she was sitting on his lap, and waving for me to come over. I ran over to join them. "Natsu, come to!" She said. He came to.
We sat at the bench. "I'm so happy for you guys!" I said.
"So am I!" Levy said.
"If you're happy, I'm happy." Gajeel said, before kissing her cheek again. She blushed.
"See that, freak? I have a girlfriend before you've even kissed one!" Gajeel told Natsu. Levy and I rolled our eyes simultaniously.
"I've already kissed a girl! And I could get a girlfriend any time I liked!" He said.
"Oh really? I'll believe that when I meet the girl you kissed!" He said back.
"You've already met her, you dumbass!" He said back. Levy laughed as she saw my red face.
"Yeah right!"
"Yes right." I said. He looked at me confused. "He kissed me." I said, defending him, Levy laughed more.
"Exactly." Natsu said.
"Okay, you may of kissed a girl, but you don't have a girlfriend."
"Well by the end of the week, I'll have one." He said.
"Okay, this will be very interesting, don't you think, Lu-chan?" Levy asked me.
"Very." I said, laughing.
