Arranged in a sudden marriage

Chapter 7

The next day Lucy woke up with a muscular arm

snaked around her waist, and the alarm blaring.

She moaned and slammed her palm into the

snooze button. She was dreading school; her

friends would want to know every detail about the

trip. Despite the fact that they would all freak out,

especially Mira, she needed to tell somebody what

happened. Lucy no longer understood her and

Natsu, she kept telling herself that the intense

feelings she had were only a figment of her

February. Did she really want to go through with

that? Yes, she tried to convince herself, of course I

do. Before she could get into deeper thought the

bus came to a stop with a screech. She hadn't

even seen it coming. She silently followed Natsu

onto the bus. After 20 minutes of a motion sick

moron next to her she was glad to be at school.

Until Natsu grabbed her hand and pulled her off the

bus. Despite her best efforts Natsu wouldn't let her
