Lucy pov

Natsu keeps bothering me. But it doesn't seem to annoy me for some reason.

I thought I would've got a break from him when I went to class the next day. When I sat down I heard the Bell rang as usual.

I seen everyone come flooding in as usual. But I noticed someone in the crowd who differed from everyone else. He smiled and waved at me, and sat in the desk next to me.

Natsu dragneel.

"Hey Luce" he said and looked at me. "..l-luce?" I stuttered. "Yeah. It's a nickname I came up for you" he smiled again. "A Nick name?" I asked again. He nodded.

"Yeah, Luce"

"Thanks?"

"No problem" he smirked as he leaned back into his chair. As he closed his eyes waiting for class to start.

The teacher came walking in and took a sip of coffee. He set the papers down and opened his textbook.

"Okay class. Turn to page 200…"

I sat with erza at lunch. Outside at one of the tables. "Hey guys" natsu said and sat down. He set down what looked like a pound of food. He acted as if it was nothing and started scarfing it down.

Erza continued eating. But I stared in amazement as natsu ate everything in a flash. I looked at my lunch. And started eating again.

Once we were done I went back inside. It was gym after this class. I could feel my gut turn as my anxiety kept getting worse and worse.

Once the Bell rang I ran to the locker room. Changed and went into the gym. The boys were already done changing. They were already playing volleyball.

I walked to the storage room. The sound of the whistle blew. I froze in my spot. "Lucy! Start warming up and get on a team"

I felt my gut turn in the worst way. I walked back. And sat on the bench waiting for everyone else.

"Lucy! Come play with me" I heard natsu shout. He waved as he held the ball in his arm. He ran towards me when I didnt bother getting up.

"Come on" he grabbed my arm and dragged me to the spot where he was. We were about to play before the whistle blew once more.

"Alright. Everyone on teams?"

We started playing. I was on natsu's side. The other girls were on the other side. I could already see the mischief in their eyes.

I gulped and got into stance. Someone served and the ball went flying to the other side. Some one hit it and it was near the net the girl spiked it.

I seen the ball coming towards my face. I froze. Once it was near I snapped out of it and hit it. It went forward. It kept going from side to side as everyone started playing again.

The girl frowned at me. She tried hitting the ball in my face. "Luce you okay?" Natsu asked me. I nodded and continued playing.

At the end of gym I was sweating. The coach made everyone take showers. I grabbed my towel. And turned on the hot water. I felt relieved. And clean.

I got out and went back to my locker. My clothes were gone again. Just my underwear and bra were left since I hid them deep in my bag.

I told erza. "I would give you my clothes but they're sweaty.." She said "I'll take them!" I said without hesitation. She handed me them and I changed into them. They weren't sweaty as erza said.

They smelt of strawberries actually.

I walked out. And everyone started snickering at me and giggling. I looked into the garbage. My clothes were stuffed in there with garbage on top of them.

"looks like she has a thing for gym clothes"

I sighed and went to my locker. I grabbed everything I needed for class.

I waited for the day to end as I sat in class.

…

"Achoo!" I sneezed. I opened the door and exited the school. My hair was still wet and it was cold out.

"Here" natsu said and threw a peice of clothing on me. It smelt like cologne. "What is this?" He walked in front of me. "My sweater. Wear it" I blushed and grabbed it off head.

"I can't natsu this is yours" he smiled and closed his eyes. "I don't know what happened to yours since your wearing your gym clothes."

"Erza's."

"But you'll catch a cold if you don't"

I sighed and put it on. Natsu zipped it up for me. "I'm not a kid you know" he laughed. "Of course not".

I started walking home. Natsu walked behind me as I kept walking. Natsu kept following me. I walked faster until I couldn't hold it any longer.

"Are you stalking me?" I said bluntly, surprising him. He stopped and looked at me with a blank stare. As if I were stupid.

"I live around here" he said. I blushed from embarrassment. "I- I'm sorry!" I said and walked faster. I felt my face turning more red and red.

"Wait Luce!" He shouted. "Let me walk you home" he said as he grabbed my arm. He looked at me. I was still blushing. He looked away when he seen it.

We got to the corner. The car wasn't there yet. But Capricorn said he'd be late. So I'd have to wait a bit longer.

"What are you waiting for?"

"My car"

He stopped and stood beside me. "Can I wait with you until then?" I looked at him. "Sure?" He smiled and stood beside me. I clutched my bag.

"So..what happened to your clothes."

"Some girls threw them in the garbage when I was in the shower."

He stared at me. "That's bad! Who did it?!" I sighed. And looked at him. His onyx orbs staring into mine waiting for an answer.

"Lissana Strauss"

…

"Lissana?"

"Yeah..she's hates me for some reason."

I looked away from his eyes. "I know lissana actually" My gut turned again. "What?" I said. He breathed in the cool air.

"Yeah..since we were kids"

"Wait I thought you were new here" he shook his head. "New to this school yeah" he pointed. "But I lived here for as long as I can remember."

"Oh.."

"Why does lissana hate you?" He asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know.. But maybe since I'm rich."

He gasped at the last word. "RICH?!" he shouted.

"Shh!" I said and covered his mouth. "Yes sadly. I am.. Don't you know jude heartfilia?" He nodded. "He's my dad." His eyes widened.

I removed my hands. He stared at me. "I thought you were one of those people who'd try and use me.." I said. He shook his head again.

"No I'd never do that. But if I was trying to use you why are you still friends with me?"

I..didn't know either. I stayed quiet. "I don't know either actually… I usually push people away who do so"

"Well Luce. You don't have to push me away."

I smiled. I seen the car pulling up. It parked in front of me. Capricorn rolled down the window and peeked out as usual.

"I'm sorry miss Lucy. I was busy driving your father around all day"

"It's fine Capricorn." I opened the door. I was about to get in when I looked at natsu's sweater.

I took it off. I handed it to natsu"

"Here's your sweater. Thanks for letting me use it" I said. He pushed it away. "Have it" he said and smiled as he tilted his head.

I smiled and got in the car. I looked out the window. "I'll see you tomorrow natsu!"

He waved as we drove Into the distance. I looked in the mirror until natsu disappeared, he was still standing there watching us drive off.

I smiled.

…

Oh god. Two chapters in one night. I need sleep.
