"What's up?" Natsu asked, entering the room. He was enjoying his lunch in the cafeteria when Dan and Michelle told him Lucy wanted him in the Student Council room.
"Come here," she said, tapping the seat next to her. He cautiously did so. "I wanted to talk."
"About?" he asked. She moved over and sat on the table part of his desk. He swallowed a lump in his throat. He could smell her strawberry shampoo.
"So you're dating Lisanna?" she asked. She wanted to break the ice a little.
"Yeah, for a year now," he said. He still wasn't too sure about the situation.
"So have you kissed?" she asked quietly. She needed to make sure he had his first kiss. She would feel bad if he didn't, since he had a girlfriend.
Natsu's whole face turned red. "Yeah," he said, looking away.
"That's sweet. You two make a cute couple," she said. She looked at him, waiting for him to meet her gaze. It only took a few seconds. She reached out and touched his face. He tensed. She moved her hand to his chin and moved him a little closer.
"Lucy, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Shh," she said, putting her thumb to his lips. "Don't make this harder than it is." She didn't know why she was being so nice about it. She usually would have already been done by now. She figured because he was a friend.
"Lucy, please don't-"
Natsu was interrupted by Lucy's lips. His eyes widened. Lisanna was going to kill him, if Gray doesn't first.
"Lisanna!" Natsu yelled, running down the street. He was wearing a blue shirt and jeans. "It's not what it looks like!"
"You were kissing her!" Lisanna yelled, not looking back. She quickly crossed the street. Her yellow dress fluttered in the wind.
"Please, let me explain!" he yelled. He ran across the street after her.
Sadly, he didn't see the speeding car.
Crash!
"Natsu!" Lisanna screamed on the top of her lungs.
Lucy pushed Natsu away, her eyes wide, a few tears present. She looked down at what he was wearing. A blue shirt and jeans. If she remembered correctly, Lisanna wore a yellow dress to school. Her head snapped to the door. Lisanna, Gray, and Loke were standing there with wide eyes. Lisanna turned around and ran.
"Lisanna!" Natsu called, jumping out of his seat. He quickly ran after her.
"NO!" Lucy screamed. She ran out of the room. "STOP THEM!" Everyone in the hallway turned to look. Lisanna was running towards the front of the building. "PLEASE!" Lucy pleaded .
"Lucy," Gray said, grabbing her hand. Her head snapped back to him. She saw the hurt in his eyes.
"Hey!" Lisanna shrieked. Lucy looked over and saw that Dan was holding her. Michelle was holding Natsu's arm. "Let me go!"
"Natsu didn't do anything," Dan said. "It was Lucy." Lisanna stopped struggling. "Lucy is just like that. If she likes someone, she kisses them whether they have a girlfriend or not. It's her fault, not Natsu's."
"I see," Lisanna said. She calmly removed herself from Dan. She walked over to Natsu. "Sorry I blamed you. It is Lucy's fault. I saw how worried you looked when she did it." Natsu just smiled and hugged her.
"Lucy, I can't believe it," Erza said, crossing her arms. "That was awful. I can't let someone like you lead students. Please give me your badge and find a new place to sit at lunch."
Lucy felt tears coming. She pulled the badge from her pocket and gave it to Erza. "I understand," she simply said. She couldn't believe Dan said that. Of course, there was only so many different things he COULD say. She wasn't mad at him, though. She was mostly mad at herself. She let herself make friends. It was her fault. At least Natsu didn't die.
"Attention all students!" a voice boomed over the loudspeaker. "Due to issues with Student Council, you are all dismissed!

"Lucy, please smile," Laxus pleaded. He didn't like seeing her so upset. The second she came home, she planted herself on the couch, and hasn't moved since. "How about I make your favorite cake?" Lucy nodded and felt more tears stream down her face. She pulled her knees up to her chest and started to cry again. He just sighed and went to the kitchen. At least it was a Friday; she had a whole weekend before she had to face her friends again.
Laxus slumped down in a chair. He looked up and saw his three guests standing there. "Lucy needs some time to think," Misa said. "We should all leave the house."
"We can't-"
"Who's her personal doctor?" Misa cut him off.
"You because your Mom retired," he mumbled. She just smiled and pushed him out the door.

Gray walked along the rode, debating whether or not to turn around. He really wanted to check on Lucy, but he just wasn't sure. When he got to her house, he saw everyone, minus Lucy, leave the house. It didn't look like they locked the door, so he let himself in.
"Lucy!" he called. He didn't get an answer, but he heard muffled sobs from the other room. He quickly entered the living room. "God, Luce," he mumbled. She looked like a mess. He sat on the couch beside her and pulled her into a hug.
"Gray," Lucy cried. She thought he hated her. She wound her arms around him and tried to stop crying. She was glad that the only bad part of his day was her crying, because she already knew she was crying.
"Hey, do you want me to go make tea? It will make you feel better," he said. When she nodded against his chest, he slowly let her go. Even though it wasn't his house, he still wanted to make tea. It was always a good thing to drink when upset.
He went into her kitchen. After raiding her cupboards for the tea, he finally found some. He put water in a kettle and put it on the stove. After the water started to boil, he put tea leaves in the kettle. He sat down, waiting for the tea to cook. He noticed a leather notebook on the counter. He picked it up, recognizing it as Lucy's notebook.
Should he read it?
Do you all think Erza overreacted? I sure do. Don't worry, they will regret that later :D. At least Gray is still on her side, right?
