Natsu pov

I leaned against the wall outside. I yawned. I was tired. And lazy, I just about didn't come to school. But of course. She was here. I had to.

I watched as people walked inside. All of them chatting with their friends, some alone with a dull face. I yawned again. Tears came to my eyes so I wiped them with my hand.

My heart skipped a beat. I seen a flash of blonde. It was Lucy of course. Her hair flowed in the breeze, it shined once it came into the sunlight. It turned golden almost.

She glanced at me. She looked away once she seen me. Her legs moved faster even. Like she was afraid of me. I smiled. And her face shifted. To the look of surprise.

She went inside. I blew out a slow breath. Fuck. What was happening to me? I know I like her, but still. What was with the chest tightening and other girly shit? Butterflies even. Annoying..

I shook my head from the thoughts and walked inside also. I was now stuck in a literal wave of people. All moving at the same speed, and it was hard to breath. People surrounded me.

"Flame head"

I hear gray say. I looked to the side. He waved and called me over. "Dude you're late." He slams the locker door shut and leans against it, looking at me. "I was just outside" I opened the locker beside his. I guess I'll take this locker.

I looked all over, looking for a sign of her.

None. So I went to my first class. I'd see her somewhere. I feel it.

First day of school. And it was great so far. No troubles. Some of the teachers were even nice to go easy on us today. So it was practically a free day. I even had a free period. After lunch.

I seen natsu the morning. He smiled at me. Which surprised me. His smile looked different then before. It was more of.. A warm smile. Not his big toothy grin from when we were younger.

I sat in class. It was history. Like from my younger years, I was still early. Only two other people sat in the room with me. The Bell rang. And everyone else came flooding in.

I seen a few people I knew from before come in. Gray full buster, gajeel redfox, natsu, and even Bacchus. I groaned. Another problem.

Natsu spotted me. I looked at him. He sat to the left two seats behind me. I sighed and started scribbling and doodling on my notebooks. Trying to ignore him.

Please. Please please please please let this class end already. It's getting harder to breath.

…

I kept on trying to avoid natsu. I didn't want to see him, not today. But I kept seeing him everywhere. It was like he was.. Hard to dodge. And right on time, I stopped when I seen him with gray and gajeel. They stood at the wall in the hallway.

I turned around once they looked at me. I felt nervous. Memories kept flooding back. The time when I was egg bombed. That, was traumatizing. It was my fault. I could've ran away. But I didn't. Oh god. I'm such a coward.

I partially ran. I didn't want to deal with this. Not today at least. I wanted things to go according to plan. I breathed out. I just.. Needed to calm down.

Breath.

I stood here with gray and gajeel. There was nothing else to do. "Hey natsu. Here comes your girl" I looked at him, then in front of me. She stood there. Her brown eyes wide. Staring at the three of us. It was like she seen a ghost.

I smiled. But she was already turning around and walking away. Fast. I sighed. "I heard she was a virgin" gray nudged me. I look at him. "I mean she is a virgin" he smirked at me.

"You're a pig" I push him. He was. He was what you call… a fuck boy. Girls always cling to him. Like juvia lockser. She has been since we were young. But he always takes her as an annoying brat. I always felt bad for her.

"Not my fault I can actually get the ladies" I sure as hell didn't get the ladies. "Yeah but you don't keep them" gajeel says. "I have a wonderful and adorable girlfriend. You can't ever hold a relationship" gray frowned.

"Natsu didn't yet either" they both look at me. "I'm waiting. For the right girl" I didn't want to say Lucy's name. "And that girl is Lucy." Gray smirked at me. I stayed quiet. "You mean that blonde chick?" Gray nodded.

"He's been crushing on her for awhile now." He was now frowning at me. "He doesn't deserve her though." I looked away from them. But I knew they were still looking at me.

"A lot of shit went down. Something I can't explain" gray kept talking as if I want even there. "Anyway. You're such a man whore. Girls don't like that. They like guys who are gentle men" gray laughed.

"I'm not trying to get tied down. I wanna live, experiment if you want to put it that way. Before I get into a relationship" I looked at him and lifted a brow. "So you're living by sleeping with women?" He raised his hand, meaning stop.

"The ladies like it" he smiled smugly.

I sat in my room at my desk. Looking at the computer screen. Lately I've been reading. A lot. Maybe because it reminded me of her. Oh god. Please don't tell me I'm obsessed with her.

I was tired. But I wanted to stay up a bit longer. I didn't want to sleep. I yawned and scrolled down the screen on the laptop. Looking through blogs and such. I felt so tired of school already. I was lucky it was an easy day today.

I couldn't handle it. I shut down the laptop and shut off the lamp. I crawled under the sheets and into my bed. I closed my eyes. And the memories came flooding back like a tidal wave.

I wondered. What would happen if lissana was still here. Would I be with her? What would happen if I never met her. It would've been better. Less everything. I wouldn't be in this place.

What would happen if I never came to that school? Where would I be now? Would I still have met Lucy? I wish I never went there.. So I could at least help Lucy before everything happened. Instead of breaking her heart and ripping our friendship.

I fell asleep.

I woke up. I felt scared almost. I forgot where I was. It wasn't until it finally transferred in my head that I was now living alone. My dad must be crazy, letting me live alone. I like it though. It's peaceful.

I got up and got showered and ready. I put on my uniform and ate breakfast. I was too early so I had time to waste. I spent that time reading, I was almost finished anyway.

I looked at the time after I was done, and I was out the door.

I sat on the subway. It felt so gross. And disgusting. Such as life. I put my head back and closed my eyes. They felt heavy. I shouldn't sleep though. I might miss my stop.

Only for a second. Then I'll stay up.

"..y?...ucy?… Lucy?" I fluttered my eyes open. My eyes adjusted. I looked at the person in front of me. All I seen was pink and onyx eyes. He stared at me. The subway stopped. I looked at the people flooding out.

"You're going to miss your stop" he smiled at me. I grumbled at him and sat up straight. I got up and rushed out. Natsu followed behind me. "You shouldn't sleep on a subway." I grumbled again. I was still sleepy. I walked faster. But he kept up.

"No thanks?" He asks me. I stop and turn around and face him. He just about ran into me. "Thanks" he smiled again. I walked away. But he continued to follow me.

I looked at him. He smiled. I looked away. Why was he so chirpy? I was even walking my fastest, and he acted as if it was nothing and kept up. Damn tall people.

I could feel his eyes on me. It didn't creep me out. I felt calm. Actually. But nervous. Nervous as hell. How could he act like that after what all went down? What we- I said.

He grabbed my arm. And dragged me along with him. Electric socks went up my arm, the area he's touching. "Hurry up if you don't want to be late!" He says as he runs. I could barely even keep up.

We ran down the street. People passing by gave us strange looks. I looked at him. His hair flowed through the wind. I breathed out. What the hell was happening?!

I panted as I sweated. So did natsu. I propped my self against the wall, tired. I looked at the time. We were on time. Even if I didn't rush I would've made it. I stared at natsu. He looked at me, and grinned. I pouted.

"You idiot" I say and stand up properly. "Yes?" He says and wipes the sweat off his forehead. "Why did you do that?!" I look up at him. "Why not?" I felt angry and frustrated. Why was he acting so casual towards me?

"You should be thanking me" he smiled down at me. "I already did!" He chuckled a bit. His voice was deeper now. "It was fun, after all. We haven't seen each other in so long" I frowned at him.

"Don't be so happy around me." His smile faded. "I don't want anymore stunts like this. And don't try and act or be my friend" I kept frowning at him. But the edges of his mouth were trying not to smile.

"I'm serious" I kept staring at him. "Brighten up a bit. Aren't you happy to see me?" He asked me. "No I'm not. And now I'm mad since I'm tired from running 6 blocks straight." I walked away, I ignored the fact he was still staring at me.

Why was he so happy? I thought it would be dramatic and sad the next time we met. But he's acting as if he's my best friend, like nothing ever happened. Why was he like this?

It suddenly became harder to breath.

...

Is anybody else sad that October is almost over? Like where did it go?

Please review and enjoy!
