Chapter Nine

"Oh, sorry. You're just so beautiful, I forgot my pickup line."

As he finished his sentence, Lucy's face turned all shades of red. She puffed her rosy cheeks up and headed towards Juvia's Mazda. Lucy stumbled into the car then buried her face in her hands. The blue haired girl waved at Natsu, who gave a toothy grin in return, then proceeded to drive Lucy back to the school.

"Lucy, your ears are red. Are you alright?" Juvia asked, all while suppressing the urge to smirk. She had the inkling feeling something had happened at his house. Lucy just nodded from behind her hands.

"Did Natsu do something?" She wanted to tease her friend. It was cute how flustered she would get when it's about boys. For Juvia, she had sights on a certain boy already, but hadn't quite mustered courage to tell him. "Did he…kiss you?"

At the mention of this, Lucy's head shot up- redder than earlier- and waving her hands in all directions. Juvia laughed at her friend as they made their stop at Fairy Tail.

"I'm heading home now. Good luck setting up!"

Lucy waved her friend off, then took out her phone.

From: Me

To: Natsu Dragneel

Go make a doctor's appointment. You need to see if you can play at the games.

She walked towards the committee room, 's history class, when her phone beeped.

From: Natsu Dragneel

To: Me

alright, alright lushi can't take a joke bye~

Lucy shook her head. Ah what an idiot.

The halls were quiet as she made her way to Mr. Clive's class. Only the light squeak of her sneakers were heard. As she entered the room, she was greeted with empty seats. The white board was covered with something that resembled a map of the campus. Taking that as a hint to the committee's location, she made her way to the field area.

She walked by the field and saw the cheerleaders rehearsing their routine. Their red skirts fluttered as they ran around while spouting cheers. By the field was the basketball court, filled with players for tonight's game. On the other side of the basketball court, Meredy could be seen walking around and speaking with other committee members. Just then Meredy turned around and waved at Lucy. In return, Lucy gave an awkward little wave as she made her way over to the group.

However, the basketball players on the court had different plans for the girl. Amidst in the heat of the game, someone had thrown the ball to another player. The other player had missed the ball that was now in a one way collision course with Lucy Heartfilia.

"Watch out!" Meredy called as she saw the ball heading towards Lucy and waved frantically towards the ball. It was unfortunate the moment Lucy turned her head to look what her friend was yelling about, she was hit on the forehead by said basketball and landed on her bum. A large hiss erupted from the back of her throat and her hands flew to the victim spot on her forehead.

"Oh my god, Lucy, are you ok?" Lisanna had appeared in front of Lucy. Lucy nodded slowly while being helped up by the young Strauss. Her crystal- blue eyes were shining as she smiled reassuringly at the blonde. "I'm glad to know that."

Lucy turned her head to Meredy who was scolding the two basketball players who had slipped the ball. I wonder what she possibly could be saying.

"...and furthermore, be careful!" The two guys, a raven haired guy and a blonde, had their heads lowered slightly, whilst nodding at Meredy's words. The head of the committee turned and ran over to Lucy with a smile on her face.

"Well you don't look injured that's good. I'll be over there. You two can go help Ultear." Meredy pointed at Ultear, who seemed to be looking for something. Meredy began walking away, but not before giving a slight glare at the boys.

"Sorry about the ball, heh." Lucy and Lisanna turned to the boys. It was Sting Eucliffe and another player. The blond girl's face contorted into something displaying embarrassment, while Lisanna eyed the two making their way over. Lucy slipped her phone out and typed.

It's alright. I wasn't harmed much. I'll be going.

Lucy gave a tiny wave to Lisanna to tell her to come with her and began walking, when Sting called out to her.

"Hey, wait!"

Lucy turned around to face Sting again, this time a little irritated. She really should be helping now.

"Need help with anything?"

She typed. Um I don't think so. Lisanna is already working with me. But thanks.

Then she turned again and resumed walking to the committee. Much to her dismay, Sting tagged alongside the young Heartfilia.

In turn, Lisanna was annoyed at Sting for trying to hit on Lucy. She knew his type and she knew that Lucy is not available for him. Obviously, Natsu and Lucy had a thing going on and Lisanna, the good friend she is, was going to defend it. Other words, no way in hell is she letting Sting Eucliffe get his basketball mitts on Lucy Heartfilia.

"Lucy, we should really be helping Ultear. Let's go!" Lisanna stated. In return, Lucy nodded and waved goodbye to Sting as the two jogged over to the raven haired girl.

Sting Eucliffe was then left alone, determined to win the girl.

There she was, in a strapless white dress that barely met her knees and her blonde hair swirled with the wind. She was walking along the break waves on the beach shore. On the other side he sat on the sand. He was watching her and admiring her beauty. Her grace.
