LUCY'S POV

I walked as fast as I could down the school halls to avoid Natsu. I couldn't believe we went to the same school, let alone they were the same person! I shook my head rapidly to clear my thoughts. I looked around to see if the familiar pinkette was nearby. Not spotting him, I dashed into my class. Now, how to spend the rest of the day avoiding him.

I ran into by house and slammed the door behind me, breathless. He almost saw me. I walked to my room and set my bookbag at the end of my bed. I sat at my desk and pulled out my chemistry homework. Before long, I had completed it. I wasn't in the mood to play with the gang today, so I opened and went to my bookmark list. I clicked on one of my anime and began to watch. In the middle of a sad scene, my laptop went off. Ding. Ding. D-Ding. I gave a frustrated sigh and clicked into Skype, the source of the noise.

N: Lucyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Le: Lu-chaaaaaaan where are youuuu!

R: LUCY GET YO ASS IN THE GAME

G: Lucy c'monnnn

I sighed and typed a quick reply.

Lu: Sorry, not happening. Anime binge.

I clicked back into my anime and continued watching, getting more annoyed as more Ding's sounded. I didn't want to talk, I just wanted to watch my anime in peace! I gave up trying not to read their messages, and clicked into Skype in defeat. It looked like only Natsu, Levy, Rogue, and Gray were online.

Lu: hOly hElL wHaT dO yOu wAnT?!

Le: LUUUU-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

N: Haha finally decide to show up?

Lu: How could I ignore this, I WAS GETTING 30 MESSAGES A MINUTE!

R: huehuehuehue

G: I wouldn't say 30 messages a minute, more 5.

Lu: Shaddup smart ass -.-

Le: Geez Lu-chan you really need to stop swearing xD

Lu: LeaVE mE aLonE!

After I sent my message, my laptop started to... ring? Goddammit, Natsu started a group call. I clicked accept, and waited until everyone was in the call. Then that's when I made my presence know. I let out a ear-piercing yell, which got them all to scream, which was hilarious. "God damn Lucy! Chill!" I heard Rogue screech, sounding far away. He probably fell out of his chair. "Luuuu-chan! Whyyyy!" I heard Levy whine, most likely covering her ears. " YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK LUCY!" Gray screamed, causing me to laugh. With no reply from him, we just kept on talking. Halfway through our conversation, Natsu popped back in. " Hey! what'd I miss?" he retorted cheerily. "Where have you been flame brain?" Gray snickered. "I uh.. when Lucy screamed I fell out of my chair, hit my head on the ground, and passed..out?" he sounded almost confused, but that got the entire call laughing. "That's... that's priceless!" Rogue managed to say inbetween his laughing fits. I felt kinda bad, even though I was laughing. Did I really scare him that badly? I must've spoken my mind because Natsu replied, "Hell yeah you did!" "Sorry." "It's okay Luce." As the conversation went on, the topic we never talked about came up. "He guys, we should video call! I wanna know what you guys look like! Aside from Ice Princess over there, cos he goes to my school." Natsu said. Wait, so that means Gray goes to my school too?! What if Loki and Jellal do too?! Oh my god! I thought frantically. "Why not, let's see if we can get the others to join in!" Rogue chirped. After about 5 minutes, Sting, Jellal, and Loki had joined in. "Great the group's here! Everyone click video in 3... 2.. 1!" Natsu basically yelled, as we all clicked on the small blue button. One by one, faces started to appear. My mouth dropped in surprise as did everyone else. "LU-CHAN YOU'RE SO PRETTY!" a small blue-haired girl screamed, who was most likely Levy, the only other girl here. I blushed and pulled my hoodie tighter around me. "Thanks, you are too Levy!" I hoped to god Natsu hadn't noticed me yet. "Why don't we all say who we are so we can put faces to names?" I suggested. "I'm Levy!" the same blue-haired girl chirped. "Loki." the orange haired guy said, his hair almost making cat ears. "Jellal." the boy with blue hair said, and a red tattoo over one of his eyes. "Sting." Blonde hair. "Rogue." Long-ish black hair. "Gray." Dark raven hair. "Natsu!" the familiar pink haired boy yelled, giving a grin. My heart was beating rapidly as I spoke my name. "I'm Lucy." I gave a small wave, and then heard a gasp. "Wait.. LUCY? The one who was being bullied?!" Natsu said in astonishment. Everyone went dead silent at the word bullied. I hid my face in my hoodie and mumbled, "That would be me." A chorus of Lucy!'s and Why didn't you tell us?! echoed through the chat. Natsu was still dead quiet. "Wait, so you go to the same school as Loki, Jellal, Natsu and I?" Gray asked with surprise."Mhm. I've never seen you guys though, I'm a sophomore." I replied, face still buried in my hoodie. "Wait what school do you go to Lu-chan?" Levy asked me. "Magnolia High." "Holy crap! I'm a sophomore there too!" the bluenette squealed. "How have we never seen each other?!" "Dunno" was my only reply. "I-I have to go." I said quickly, and hung up on the call. I ran to my bed and flung myself onto it, laying face down. How did I not know we basically all went to the same school? Are they going to treat me differently because they know I'm bullied? These thought swam around in my head as I felt myself slowly drifting off to sleep. Tomorrow was definitely going to be interesting.
