The time has passed and Lucy became more opened and sociable, her best friends being Levy and Natsu. The last week of the first semester came and the students had to make groups of 2 and work on a song. If the song was good, they'd pass.
The teacher coupled the compositors with the solists and presented the students their partners. Lucy was grouped with Natsu, Gray with Juvia and Gajeel with Levy. They had about a week to compose a song, the lyrics and to record it.
In the music room, after the hours, Lucy was composing the song when the door opened slowly and inside came Sting. A small smile appeared on his lips and he kept the silence. After a few moments the blonde girl raised her eyes to meet two blue-ocean eyes looking at her from the other part of the piano.
- What are you doing, Sting?, she asked raising a brow and looking down at her papers.
- Just watching... am I not allowed?, he continued with the same smile on his lips.
- I'll finish here just in a moment and the piano will be only yours., Lucy said and ran her eyes on the papers.
- You don't have to leave, you know... I enjoy your company... and I hoped you enjoy mine too, but I see I am wrong..., Sting finished and got up, then walked to the door.
- Sting, wait!, Heartfillia got up suddenly but it was too late, he already had left.
The next day, Lucy saw Sting in the cafeteria but he wasn't wearing a pair of white jeans and an yellow t-shirt, but one of his suits. His hair was made and not looking disheveled and wild as usually. He was acting different even with the girls. When Heartfillia walked towards him and sat at his table, Eucliffe finished his sandwhich and then looked at Rogue. "Let's go, we got a song to finish." he said and then left, leaving Lucy there, without even saying "hey" or "bye".
The days passed and the next day, it was the last day for recording the songs. Lucy and Natsu finished their song so she had some spare time. The girl was walking down the halls when she heard a voice coming from one of the recording rooms.
" I've been standing here with my arms out wide
But you just keep on passing me by
I can change your life forever
If you would just give me the time"
The more she got closer the room, the more the voice seemed familiar.
"Baby I've been standing here at you
But to you I'm invisible
I can make your heart feel brand new
Do you even notice me at all?
It's like I'm invisible...
Invisible...".
Lucy entered in the room and got a little shocked. She saw Sting singing. What shocked her wasn't the fact that the boy's voice was that good but the lyrics. Her mouth opened forming a little "o". Heartfillia stayed there and listened the song until it's end. When she noticed that Sting was coming, Lucy got out of that room as fast as possible. Eucliffe got out of the room and bumped in her. When his blue eyes fell on her, his mouth opened but then closed and he started walking in the other way.
After a couple days, the results came and only half of the students passed. Fortunately, Lucy and Natsu, Gray and Juvia, Gajeel and Levy, Sting and Rogue passed. They were all happy and the holiday made their happiness only to grow even more.
It was the last day before the holiday and most of the students were in the cafeteria. At a table, Rogue and Sting were having a coffe. The black haired guy kept looking at his friend who was staring in space.
- Did you hear? Our parents's relationship was made public at the last night event., Rogue said waiting for Sting's reaction.
- Yeah... it was the time by now..., the blond guy continued staying in the same position., I even heard dad proposed Skiadrum last night.
- So we will be brothers, huh?, Cheney sipped from his coffee.
- What would be the difference from how we are now?, Eucliffe sighed and started playing with his coup of coffee.
- For how long will you keep playing this game?, Rogue asked serious.
- What are you talking about?, Sting moved this time his eyes to his friend.
- I'm talking about how you try to keep your distance from Lucy. I am your friend since we opened our eyes. I saw you playing this game a couple times by now. Why are you playing it again?
- I'm not playing. I'm just getting sure I am not falling in love. Not with her..., after this Rogue started chuckeled, which surprised Sting., Why are you chuckling?
- You are in love with her already. Look at you. You are wearing suit and tie, you have your hair made and there is no wedding or public event. You are changing in a man without you to know. Now grow some balls, get her some flowers and invite her for a coffee. NOW!, Rogue frowned as he hit his friend's head for snapping him out of shock.
Said and done. Only 5 minutes later, a very good looking and classy Sting Eucliffe was running through the campus holding a red rose and going towards the girls dorm. When he got the Lucy's floor, the boy was already tired so he stopped to catch his breath. Bad move, because when stopped, from behind bumped in him...
