The minute we stepped outside I was met with hot late summer air as I began walking down the street.
"So, are you excited to go back to school?" he asked me.
"No, what teenager my age would be excited to go back to that prison?" I questioned back jokingly.
He nodded his head in agreement. "At least you'll get to see your friends again."
I smiled at that thought because it was true I did miss my friends and the only reason why I didn't get to hang out with them as much over the summer was because I was dealing with ghosts showing up at my side left and right. I mean I wouldn't be able to explain to them if something weird happened if they were around if once the ghosts appeared out of nowhere and started talking to me. They would no doubt be completely freaked out and create some excuse to leave so that they wouldn't have to hang out with me. Or even worse I was worried that if they did find out that they would tell everyone at school and I would be labeled as a weirdo by the school's evil queen bitch herself.
Juvia Lockser this girl can make Regina George bow down and kiss her ass literally to avoid social humiliation.
She was super beyond pretty she had long blue hair, blue eyes and pale skin. She was outrageously popular so I knew that it would have been risky if my friends were to have found out about my powers somehow. Therefore, after the first month of summer I isolated myself and just hung out with my family for the rest of the break. Suddenly it was then when I realized what Natsu just said caught my attention.
"Wait how did you know that I barely saw my friends?"
I watched entertained as his whole demeanor and facial expression changed from curiosity to looking like a complete deer in headlights.
"Well I sort of checked up on you every now and then." He admitted shyly.
"Really why didn't you say hi?" I asked. "Instead of just having me worrying about you the entire time?"
He shrugged his shoulders as he turned to look at me. "Because I couldn't things in my world are very complicated and just unsafe right now. So, me appearing with other ghosts lurking nearby would have been a bad decision."
"What do you mean unsafe? What's going on?"
"I can't tell you," he responded gazing at me forgivingly.
"What why like what's the big deal?" I urged on. "I don't get how it's okay for you to give me a hint and then clam up about the rest of the details?"
"It's because you're not part of my world Lu so telling you anything more than I can is just not a good idea." He tried to explain but even as he did try I didn't want to listen I just wanted more answers.
I scoffed at him surprised by his secrecy. "Not part of your world, Natsu you do realize I'm a medium right I'm more part of your world then anybody."
"No, you're not and it's because your alive is why Lu." He argued back. "Everything is different on my end now that I'm dead I don't just know things that you're not supposed to know I'm also apart of things you're not supposed to know as well."
"Then when can you tell me because in case you haven't noticed I don't know a thing about you that's personal. Hell, I don't even know your last name." I pointed out getting a bit angry.
"Why are you getting so worked up about this?" He asked. "I just wanted to spend some time with you not get into a huge screaming match."
Because I love you, you idiot was what I wanted to shout but I didn't. "Because I care about you Natsu and the fact that you just appear in and out of my life whenever you want and not let me know what's going on with you or anything about you just fucking sucks."
All of sudden he wrapped his arms around me and dragged me closer to him so that we were both standing chest to chest and almost to lips.
"I care about you more then you know I just don't want to lose you once you figure out the truth because everything about your world and my world is just not as it seems. Therefore, even though you have powers I don't want to drag you into my world and make things worse for you." He confessed honestly staring deep into my eyes causing me to almost lose my balance. "By the way my last name is Dragneel, Natsu Dragneel."
