CRAM Chapter 12-Confirmed

{Natsu}

Day after day passed and I still haven't talked to her since that day.

I don't know myself but whenever I see her I avoid her. For some reason, I get nervous when she's around.

Who is she? It's Lucy.

I know she noticed about me avoiding her but I can't help it. I feel really awkward.

And really, this is strange. I am not hurt when I hear about Lisanna and Bickslow. Actually, it's the other way around.

Well, maybe I'm immune to it.

"Tadaima!" Wendy and I exclaimed when we got home. (Tadaima=I'm home!)

"You got home pretty early." Mom smiled at us.

"Uhm, good evening." I heard Lucy which made me run upstairs.

Crap. I forgot to kiss mom on her cheeks. She's gonna get upset at me.

Well, at least I've got an explanation to her.

But.. no! There's a big possibility that she'll tell Aunt Layla! I must think of a more acceptable excuse.

Ah! There's this excuse I could always think of. :/

"Hi mom." I cooly greeted as I sat down in front of the dinner table. As expected, she just ignored me. But I smirked.

"Uh, mom. I did not kiss you in the cheeks earlier because Gajeel and I have a dual project. It will be passed tomorrow, so I started doing it—"

"Son, you're not good at lying." I became as pale as a white rose from what I heard from mom. "Tell me, what happened between you and Lucy?" I gulped when I heard blondie's name.

"Well... it started like this—"

"Mom! Dad's home!" I heard Wendy giggle.

"Hi Wendy. Hi, dear husband. Hi, Natsu. What's going on here? Why is the atmosphere so thick? Something happened?"

Mom looked at me and just shook her head at dad. He glanced suspiciously at us before sitting beside me as well as Wendy.

"Honey," Mom called after awhile. "The food we are eating right now is what Lucy cooked." I choked my food. It was delicious, but when I heard that blondie cooked it, I became shy, for some reason.

"Mom, I'm going up. I need to finish my assignments." This time, it wasn't a lie.

"Hey! The food..."

"I'll eat it tomorrow breakfast."

I was so bored so I decided to open my laptop.

Scrolling through my news feed, I saw a status.

Erza Scarlet = Who is he? Tell it, and I'm gonna beat him into a pulp.
Lucy Heartfilia = no need. :) it's alright.

I felt guilty. Why do I avoid her anyway? My conscience was bothering me.

"Natsu-san..." I heard Wendy's voice outside the door. I saw Happy and Carla teasing each other.

"Hm?"

"Mom said that you should meet Lucy-san. She was waiting for you outside so..."

"I get it. Thank you." As I said that, Wendy bowed and closed the door.
