LUCY'S POV

It's been about a week since I ran away from home. Erza lived with her grandparents, who were kind enough to let me use their spare bedroom for my time here. And in the timespan of that week, I had managed to befriend Natsu. He wasn't that bad, and was actually pretty funny. His friends were cool too. So now my little group of Levy, Sting, and Rogue had merged with Natsu's group which included Gray, Jellal, and Loki. And about two days ago, they were added into our Skype chat. As I stood up from my borrowed bed, i waked over to my bag and pulled out an outfit. I sighed. I did not want to go to school. People were beginning to figure out I had run away, I was starting to get teased because of it. I shrugged on my t-shirt and pulled over my Fairy Tail hoodie, which was my safety blanket. I jumped into my jeans and beat up converse. I brushed my blonde hair away from my eyes, not bothering to do anything. The kids words were starting to get to my, which is hard to admit. I grabbed my phone and schoolbag and waited out in the living room for Erza. As she entered, I gave her a small smile and off we went.

-Timeskip to school-

As the bell rang for class to end, I walked to my locker to put away my books and grab my other ones that I needed. As I reached up to put away my Chemistry notebook, it was ripped out of my grasp. I turned around to see who it was. My eyes widened in fear as I saw Jet and Droy standing there, holding my notebook. "Uhh... Can I have my notebook please?" I asked them softly. "Awww, does little runaway need her notebook?" Jet sneered as Droy tossed him my notebook, out of my grasp. "Just give it back!" Kids were starting to gather around the scene. I was so embarrassed and angry. I was jumping pathetically for my notebook, as it was ripped out of Jet's grasp. A pink haired boy stood behind him, a goofy grin on his face. "Why are you teasing the poor girl, just give her notebook back." the boy said, not looking away from Jet as he handed me my notebook. I mumbled a "thank you" and looked down at my shoes. "Damn you Dragneel." Droy sneered as he and Jet walked away. The pink haired boy disappeared into the crowd as they walked away from the scene. I felt like crying. I shoved my books into my bag and made a beeline for a door. I had to get out.

I walked to the park near the school and sat behind a tree. I rested my head on my knees and wrapped my arms around my legs. My silky blonde hair fell around my shoulders as I felt tears stream down my face. Silent sobs wracked through my body. I didn't notice a presence sit next to me. I looked up startled as I felt someone rub my back. The pink haired boy from before. "Hey, are you okay?" He looked concerned. "Heh, yeah.." I chuckled as I wiped my tears. "Awh c'mon, you're not okay, you're crying." He said, as if he was stating the obvious, which he was. I sighed. "I'm fine." I said harshly, just wanting to be alone. Apparently the pink-headed idiot didn't get the message. He pulled me into a hug. "If they bother you again, just come find me, okay?" I shook my head, not wanting to speak. It felt good to be held, despite not knowing who this guy was. I slowly ceased my tears, and sat up. "Thanks for this by the way. It really helped." The pinkette smiled. "No prob." He stretched as he stood up, I soon following his actions. "Let me walk you home, I want to make sure you get home safely." He offered, and I accepted. Honestly, I didn't want to walk home alone, who knew if Jet or Droy would try to pull anything again. I lead the way to Erza's house, where I was currently staying. The walk was quiet, a nice quiet. No questions, no prying. It was nice. I scratched my head as I walked up to the door. "Thanks again..." I drifted off, not knowing his name. "Natsu." He grinned. Hmm... Why was that name so familiar to me. I shrugged it off. "Thanks again Natsu. I'm Lucy." I gave a small smile as I walked inside, not waiting for a reply. I opened Skype and went into the group chat. One message. From...Natsu?! It can't be the same Natsu who comforted me and walked me home... RIGHT?!

NATSU'S POV

I walked into the park, not wanting to listen to the old farts teach me anymore. I was a Junior at Magnolia High. I played a videogame called Minecraft, a block game. I played on a server called Simplicity, with my friends Gray, Jellal, and Loki. We all knew each other in real life, which was pretty cool. I also made new friends on the game, Lucy, Levy, Sting, and Rogue. They were pretty cool. As I looked around, I noticed a blonde girl with a small frame sitting against a tree...crying? I sat down beside her and helped calm her down. I offered to walk her home afterward, not want her to get hurt. She was pretty, very pretty. The way she dressed was very tomboyish, and it was cute. She awkwardly scratched her head as we walked up to her door. "Thanks again..." "Natsu." I grinned. Her eyes slightly widened, but just as soon as she did, she was back to normal. "Thanks again Natsu. I'm Lucy." She gave me a cute smile before walking into her house.I was shocked. It couldn't be Lucy from Simplicity, CelestialSprirt, right? I shook my head and walked back home, my head filled with thoughts.
