Ch. 02 - I'm marrying him?!
______________________________________________________________________________
A week had just passed ever since the Science lab incident. People slowly got to know Dragneel and others started befriending that guy. Me? I wouldn't bother befriending someone like him. He's a kid, for pete's sake.
"Dang, Natsu Dragneel became popular in a flash, you know?" Levy alerted, sitting beside me in the canteen, drinking her milkshake.
"What do you mean?" I asked her. "He's only been here for a week. There's no way he's popular in that tiny--"
Levy cuts me by pointing at the crowd of girls squealing and cheering for Natsu as he played basketball with Gray and the others.
"Kya!! Go, Natsu-kun!"
"You can do it, Natsu-kun!"
"N-A-T-S-U! Go, Natsu!" Even the cheerleaders were all cheering for that guy. What's with all this? How come he's so popular in such a short time?
The girls squealed louder than before when Natsu had shot the basketball through the hoop. He dropped down, his body reeking of sweat.
"Not bad, rookie." Gray smirked. "You should join the basketball team. We need someone like you."
Natsu looked up the roof then, smiled. "Yeah! I'll join in the team!"
I smirked at Gray when he came across me. "What?" He asked when he sat beside me by the bleachers.
"I thought you were gonna beat the crap out of the transferee?"
He looked at Natsu, wiping all the sweat dropping. "Well, he ain't bad so, I'll pass on this one."
"Kyaa! Gray-sama's body in sweat is too charming!" Juvia squealed, taking random pictures of Gray in different positions. Gray looked at Juvia. "Oy, don't go taking pictures of someone that casually."
Juvia shivered, now sulking. "Y-Yes..."
"Hey, Lucy, want to go out with me this Saturday?" Leo the 'lion'. Obviously a playboy who asks girls on a date randomly. But, is great in badminton.
I shook my head. "Rejected. Sorry. I have plans that Saturday. And besides, I hate playboys." I declared, glaring sharply at him.
He froze to his position, fixing his glasses. "That hurt, Lucy, my honey..."
"Leo! Here's your water. I'm so sorry." Aries. Leo's official girlfriend even though she knew Leo's hobby was flirting and picking up girls. 'I like him the way he is', she quoted. She also likes saying 'sorry' for some reason nobody knows.
"Yes, my darling! Goodbye now, my sweet honey!" He bid me farewell, jumping down the bleachers and wrapped his arm around Aries, walking away from the court.
I turned to look in Natsu's direction. He was walking through the bleachers when he saw me. He glared at me, clicking his tongue then turned to go inside the classroom.
"He hates you." Levy stated.
"Our feelings are mutual." I looked away from him, sipping from Levy's juice box.
School ended up being a half-day since there weren't much school activities going on. Levy and I said goodbye to each other. I went straight to my Apartment and saw Mom's message on my cell.
