Hello. So I decided to post another rewritten chapter tonight. I'm combining the 2nd and 3rd chapters and making them one of the original. I didn't change much because I liked these chapters. Hope you follow and review.

Thank you to:

Summary:

Here's a short summary of my life. I, Lucy Heartfilia, am Fairy Tail High School's very own geek. Lisanna Strauss, my old childhood friend, is now my with Natsu Dragneel was going to be chaos. And in that case I was correct, but how the heck was I supposed to know I was going to fall in love?

Mr. Macao, who is also my neighbor, has given the gruesome details of our devastating assignment. All the students in honors English are stuck writing a 3,000 word fairy tale in pairs. Luckily, we get to write about anything we want to. And Unfortunately, every positive has its negative, and mine just happens to be Natsu Dragneel.

Most girls would probably swoon at the idea of working close to the untouchable jock, but me on the other hand, wish I would have jumped out the nearest window and move to Italy while I had the chance. Natsu approached my locker at the end of the day. "Yo blondie!"

"What do you Pinky?" I asked, continuing the almost impossible task of shoving my books into my tiny high school locker.

"It's SALMON! Not pink! Pink is way too girly. My hair is sal-mon, like the fish! " As it would prove his point, he pulled his pink spikes towards me, almost like he thought I was too far to determine the color. I grabbed my overfilled bag and slung it over my shoulder and closed my locker. I walked down the hall with Pinky in pursuit.

"Is that a guy thing? Like pink is too girly, so it's automatically salmon? I don't get it. You know what, nevermind, what did you want again?" I questioned through a side glance. I took his little brain-storming session as an opportunity to take in his appearance. Natsu wore an orange, flame decorated red t-shirt with tan cargo pants and black DCs. His unruly pink, or as he stated, salmon locks were messily spiked, and to complete the look, his white, almost scaly, scarf stood its grounds around his neck.

"Oh yeah! When are we going to work on that project thingy for Mr. Macao?" He questioned with enthusiasm that I didn't think was possible. Wow. I didn't know he had a thing for writing. Even with him in all my classes.

"Eh, I don't know. Sometime next week." I replied. I'm almost positive that that loud bang just now, was Natsu's jaw hitting the floor.

"It's due sometime next week! We need a good grade! I have a B- right now!" He exclaimed, using his hands to talk. "I can't let my grade drop down any lower."

"Fine. When do you want to work on it?" I rolled my eyes.

"Right now," He stated. " We'll walk to your place. My mom is having a work meeting and specifically asked for me not to be there." He said nonchalantly. Let me just put this out there. Today is Monday, and on Mondays, I watch Macao's block-headed son. Two block-heads around at the same time? I think not.

"Can't tonight. I have to watch Mr. Macao's son today. Tomorrow maybe?" And if that wasn't a conversation stopper, then I don't know what is.

"Then I'll help! Wait, isn't Mr. Macao's son like 13?" He asked with a weird look plastered onto his face. SO I guess I don't know what a conversation stopper is.

"Yeah. Last time he was left alone, he almost set his entire kitchen on fire trying to make some mac-n-cheese. Now, while Macao is at a teacher's meeting thing, I look after his son, Romeo." We were now leaving the building and walking down the street. "Anyway, I can't work on the project tonight."

"But we HAVE to work on it tonight! I have dinner with my family tomorrow, basketball practice Wednesday, a game Thursday, and Friday is guy day!" He counted each event on his fingers. "So today is my only free day! Saturday and Sunday I have plans. We have no choice, but to work on it today."

"But I can't Pinky!"

"It's salmon!" And the arguing continued as we walked down the street side-by-side.

Suddenly, like a slap in the face, I realized we were standing at the front door of my apartment, and I was fumbling with my keys in the keyhole with a pink-headed moron at my side. I sighed in defeat as I twisted the key to my left.

"So this is your place Luigi?" Natsu questioned with a smirk. He let out a high-pitched yelp as I stepped on his foot and slammed open the door simultaneously. "It's Lucy!" I shouted in the doorway.

"Welcome back Lucy." Erza Scarlet and Levy McGarden (my best friends) were carelessly sipping away at what I think is tea, at the table.

"Hey Lu-chan, I didn't know you talked to Natsu," Levy said between sips.

"I don't. He followed me home to work on the stupid assignment we were assigned by Macao. And how the hell did you get in here!? I know for a fact that I locked the front door and all the windows." I stated as my hand found its way to my face. I peered over at Erza as she held up a key like it was some noble prize.

"I made a copy of your key." Erza stuffed the yellow key in her pocket and took a bite of strawberry cheesecake.

"I don't even know how to respond to that."

"Are you up for going to the mall, Lu-chan?" Levy asked with wiggling eyebrows.

"Guys I wish I could, but between working with Moron number one" I pointed my thumb at Natsu, receiving a well ignored HEY. "And watching Moron number two I can't."

"They'll both come too. Right Natsu?" Erza stated with a glare that said 'say yes or you'll regret it'. Natsu pulled at his scarf with a nervous smile.

"S-sure. I'm up for it. I-I'll even text the guys and see if they'll come..." After a stern nod from Erza, Natsu whipped out his phone and started sending, what I assume said. 'Going to mall with Lucy and demon friends, please don't let me go alone'.

Erza looked past the wavering Natsu and at the charcoal colored hair boy behind him. He was wearing a purplish-red shirt with dark jeans along with an orange scarf. Looking at him, he dressed a bit like Natsu.

"What about you Romeo? You up for the mall?" Erza didn't even have to glare. The 13-year-old was terrified of her. He dropped his black bag from his shoulder and pulled out his phone.

"Yeah, I'd love too! Let me text my dad!" Not only did he dress like him, he acted like him. Erza smiled happily.

I sighed. "I guess we're going to the mall..."

After a few minutes of complete silence, everyone turned towards Natsu, who was texting away. "Natsu, uh, you go do something. Don't you have a younger sister? Do you think she'll want to come?" Without waiting for an answer Levy, ushered him out the door, "Yeah? Good, you go get her and come back."

"Yeah, you wouldn't want us to come and have to look for you, now do you? Erza piped in with arms crossed and a questioning scarlet brow raised. Natsu nodded quickly and took off running. Erza shrugged and shut the front door. Romeo had found his way to the kitchen table with a slice of Erza's cheesecake. The moment he felt her towering over him, Romeo tried to make a run for it, failing miserably, resulting in a hard smack upside the head. He didn't even bother saying ouch, and just dropped the fork, and took off up the stairs then into the bathroom. A slam and a 'click' later, we we're finally able to get ready for the mall. Of course after Erza finished her strawberry cheesecake.

Levy, Erza, and I all have clothes in MY closet. Yeah, they're over way more than they should be. We fished out our favorite outfits, and threw them on. Erza decided on a pair of black jeans and a silver glittered tank top with black flats. Levy went for her "badass" look. She wore a red shirt that read ''Intellectual Badass' in bold black letters along with dark blue jeans and chained combat boots. I chose a black miniskirt and light pink halter top with strappy black sandals. We brushed out our hair and Levy pulled her wavy blue hair out of her face with a black head band, and Erza pulled her vibrant scarlet hair back into a cute ponytail. I decided to leave my shoulder-length, blonde hair down. We all popped in some contacts and dialed up Aries (our ride). Romeo stayed in the same clothes that he arrived in.

"Hey Aries, where are you?" We all asked through the phone.

"Uh... I-I'm about to turn the corner. I'm driving the van like you asked Erza." The timid voice answered. A knock at the door. I nodded a silent message to my friends and stepped closer to the door and opened it.

"Hello?" I questioned before I took a look at the person on my front porch.

"Oops, sorry. I could've swore this was her apartment. Sorry." Natsu and a young teen bowed and turned. I took hold of Natsu shoulder and spun him around.

"YOU IDIOT! It's Lucy. Ugh, why do I even bother," I looked over Natsu shoulder at the young girl. She appeared to be at least 13-years-old with dark blue hair tied into pigtails and wore simple green knee-length dress. I smiled sweetly.

"Are you Natsu's sister? I'm Lucy." I stated, gripping Natsu's shoulder tighter as he tried to move. "Ah yes," She bowed politely. "I'm Wendy Dragneel. Nice to meet you Lucy-san." Wendy bowed even lower. I giggled and let go of Natsu's shoulder.

"No need to be so formal. Just call me Lucy, but it's nice to know that you have manners unlike Pinky here." Wendy giggled and smiled at her older brother.

"See Natsu? It is pink." Us two girls shared a short laugh as Natsu protested.

"Anyways, our ride is on its way," I turned my gaze toward Natsu. "Are your friends coming?" "Yeah, they'll meet us at the mall. Lucy, if you're so pretty then why do you hide it?" I shrugged my shoulders. Might as well tell the truth. Natsu probably wouldn't believe a lie despite being an idiot.

"We'd rather be the victims of Lisanna and her gang than someone like our friend Aries. She was shy and timid, and fucking smart as hell. She also wore sweatpants and hoodies every day. And well, she was the perfect target. She was the victim for a month or so back in 8th grade, so me and my friends, Erza and Levy, decided to dress like slobs everyday to help make her feel excepted. We became close to Aries before she left school to become homeschooled." I smiled, "And as a bonus, we get to avoid unwanted attention."

Natsu chuckled. "Pretty heroic."

"I wouldn't count it as heroic. I count it as kindness. Being bullied isn't exactly what I call heroic." Almost as if it was on cue, Aries pulled up in a neon pink mini-van. She honked the horn and waved with a smile. She changed a bit since the beginning of the summer. Her light pink hair grew about 3 inches and instead of being curled, it was straightened and she wore a bit of makeup. The girls exited the house, followed by Romeo, who stared curiously at Wendy. Natsu froze with his mouth wide open, as the rest of walked carelessly to the car.

"I'M NOT RIDING IN THAT!" He exclaimed, still frozen in place. I rolled my eyes.

"You are, unless you're walking." We started piling in as Natsu lazily walked towards the car, looking around to make sure he wasn't being seen. He was mumbling something I couldn't quite hear. He plopped into the seat next to me and grumbled to yourself.

"I don't understand why you don't like our van. I mean it does match your hair and all." I smirked as Natsu started complaining to himself about how his hair was fucking salmon. The rest of the car ride consisted of singing along to the radio. At stoplights, neighboring cars rolled up their windows, despite the heat.

When Aries parked in the mall's parking lot, we got many strange glances from passers buyers. I mean, seriously, a bunch of teens are stumbling out of a pink minivan for fuck's sake. Who wouldn't be staring. Natsu pulled the scarf over his face, in attempt to conceal his identity, but unfortunately for him, his friends were some of those passers by. They laughed hysterically, pointing included, as they approached. They laid eyes upon us girls and started acting "cool" (as if we didn't see them laughing like maniacs.)

"Woah flame-brain, I thought you said Lucy and her friend blobs were taking you. And they are definitely not those blobs." Gray said after uncomfortably observing us. Loke smacked his back. By the angry looks on our faces, Gray was obviously confused.

"Gray, my friend, the beautiful blonde standing in front of you, is my lovely, Lucy Heartfilia. And that scarlet-haired beauty, is our student council president." Not bothering to flirt with me and Erza, knowing we'd probably hit him, he took hold of Levy's hand and bent down on one knee.

"This badass cutie is none other than blob number three, Levy McGarden. Despite her outfit, she is actually the nicest." Loke winked, and Levy pulled her hand away from his.

"What the hell makes you think I'm the nicest!? Jackass! And don't hold my hand, you probably have an STD," Levy whipped her hand on her shirt, and by the shattered look on Loki's face as he remained on one knee, she had succeeded in getting rid of the label 'nice'. Aries giggled a bit, getting the flirt's attention. Loke cocked an orange eyebrow. He stood up and walked briskly towards her.

"And how come I've never seen you before? I'm Leo Celestial, I go by Loke. May I ask who you are?" He bowed politely. Our mouths dropped. I could hear Gray whisper to Natsu.

"Holy shit flame-brain, he didn't flirt! I don't get it, she's obviously cute. Why the fuck didn't he turn his charm on!?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know!?" Natsu whispered back. "You don't think... Loke could actually like her, do you!?" Gray whisper-yelled.

"I don't know, but it's creepy me out. I gotta do something..." Moron-idiot-face, a.k.a Natsu, started off quiet before he unexpectedly started yelling. "LET'S PLAY HIDE-N-SEEK!"

"Heh!?"

We all turned towards Natsu. Loke stopped being normal, Gray stopped taking off his shirt, Aries started smiling, Gajeel stopped pretending to no know us, Erza started nodding vigorously, and I stopped thinking that today was going to be slightly normal.

"We're all playing hide-n-go seek." Natsu threw his arms behind his head and started strolling closer the mall's entrance. This 'normal' trip to the mall, turned into a game of hide-n-seek in the parking lot, and let me just say, I'm not really sure I want to follow that idiot inside.

End of Chapter.
