CRAM Chapter 04-The Two Mysterious Neighbors

{Natsu}

Today is our second day of senior school. I wouldn't want to see Lucy today. Not even her shadow. She annoyed me. She was my hell. I guess we have mutual feelings, considering the way we interact with each other each day.

Also, I have a strange feeling about this day. It feels like something bad is going to happen. And I don't like it. Well, who wants it, right? If something bad happens to me the whole day, I hope that Lucy will be included in it.

Anyway, there was something that happened awhile ago. A bad one.

When I woke up awhile ago, I fell from my bed. Now my back hurts. Imagine yourself waking up and smiling at the bright sunshine in front of you. Then, when you sit up, you suddenly fall. Would you have a bad morning?

Then at breakfast, I drank milk. Don't laugh at me—there's nothing funny with a senior boy drinking milk. Anyway, I accidentally spilled it onto mom which made her mad and grounded me from using gadgets. I swear, she had mood swings. Or maybe it was her time of the month?

At school, I saw Lisanna and Bickslow having a sweet moment together. Now my heart was so devastated.

What more of this unluckiness would I experience?

But I still have this feeling that something worse wa going to happen. It gives me goosebumps. I had to prepare for it.

Just then, I remembered. Today is January 13. And today is Friday. In short, Friday the 13th. Is the saying true? I hope not.

"Yo, Natsu." Gray greeted me coolly. I nodded at him and we walked towards our classroom in silence.

When I reached the classroom, all the girls were there. But I didn't find the blondie. Good. No one will pester me around. At least, I know that this wasn’t going to be my most unlucky day. I could believe that Friday the 13th isn’t unlucky.

My morning classes went well, and now was our lunch time. Levy was nowhere to be found as well. Well, I heard that they were neighbors. Maybe they got both sick? It rained yesterday. Wait, maybe they skipped classes. I made a mental note to myself that I’ll accuse her tomorrow.

"Hey, dudes. Got a very important news." Gray said coolly.

"What is it?" Laxus asked grumpily. As always.

"Rumors said that Lisanna would be engaged to Bickslow after our graduation." I stopped eating. I already lost my appetite.

"It's true?!" Romeo chimed in, eyes wide.

"It was just a rumor I heard. I still don't know if it's true. I'll have to confirm it first."

"Hi guys! It's me. What are you talking about?" Bickslow smiled at us. Lisanna wasn't with her.

"Bro, is it true that you're getting engaged to Lisanna?" We all stared at Bickslow expectantly. I was desperate, too. I needed to know.

Bickslow chortled at us. "For a moment, we were the most quiet table. What's the deal? Why are you all so serious? Anyway, yes. That's true."

I stood up, feeling weak. "I need to go to the CR, guys." I jabbed my thumb to the direction of the CR.

"Sure."

Now at the garden, my mind was blank. Okay, this was the worst day of my life. I couldn't count how many times I've encountered misfortune anymore.

I couldn't ponder straight today, too. Why, you ask? All of the task of Ms. Lucy Heartfilia a.k.a. Ms. Sadist was given to me. So now, I'm really tired. She was supposed to do some tasks at the library and science laboratory. But since she was absent, it was given to me. Being the kind person I am, I agreed. I even have my own tasks with the teachers and I have meetings to attend to. My friends won't help me. They were tired as well. But... not as tired as me!
