I walk down the relatively empty hallways of Fairy Tail High, taking my time on the way to the bathrooms. Last period is finally over, and stupid professor Gildarts wouldn't let me go to the bathroom!!

"Hey, Lucy! Luce, there you are." I turn around slowly at the sound of my name and reply quietly.

"Hi..."

"Here I thought I told you not to forget!" I finally make eye contact with the whining boy.

" I didn't forget, Natsu." I defend myself.

"So where were you going?" Natsu shifts from foot to foot.

"To the bathroom... ? Am I not allowed to go there?"

"Right, sorry. Meet me by the gates when you're done." Natsu takes off, and I roll my eyes. Trying to avoid that guy is serious hard work. I keep walking towards the bathroom, when I'm interrupted yet again.

"Hey, you're Lucy, right?" A boy with raven hair steps in front of me. Gray!

"Yeah, why?"

"Nice to officially meet you. I'm G-"

"Gray, I know." I shake his hand curtly, eyeing the bathrooms behind him.

"You know?" He chuckles, probably proud of his popularity.

"Yeah, yeah, S-class. Everyone knows you. Now, can I please-"

"Everyone knows you, too." I stop, and look up at him.

"What are you talking about?"

"Just that you're not as invisible as you either think you are, or want to be." With those words, Gray walks off. What the hell does that mean? I think. Shaking my head, I run into the bathroom.

I walk up to the front gates, Natsu's form growing bigger and bigger the closer I get. Some butterflies start to form, but I do my best for force them away. Taking a breath, I tap him on the shoulder.

"Hey, Natsu." He spins on his heels, surprised.

"Oh, you really came!" His voice is childish and slightly high pitched.

"What's that supposed to mean? You can't be used to people standing you up...?" For a boy with a 'player' reputation, it sounds like people don't come through that often.

"I just thought you would go straight to your dorm and forget about me." Natsu looks at his shoes, and I look down with him. "Hey," he brings his fingers to my chin and lifts my head. "You're here now. So let's go!"

"Where are we going?" I look into his onyx eyes, and drink in his face.

"It's a surprise. But I'm sure you'll like it!" He runs off, holding my hand, and I have no choice but to follow.

"A blindfold? Really?" I reach up to tug at the scarf around my eyes, but Natsu hits my hand down.

"Really. Just sit tight. We're almost there." I sigh, and step closer to Natsu. I turn my head to where I think he's standing.

"Hmm," I pout.

"H- hey, don't make that face!" I tilt my head, as Natsu jumps away. At least, I think he jumped away. His body heat left me, and his voice got further away.

"What face?" I ask, pouting even more. Have I found a weakness? I widen my eyes, then remember he can't see them.

"N- nevermind. We're here." Natsu steps behind me and gently tugs at the knot at the back of my head. After blinking away the spots in my eyes, I take a look at where Natsu took me. I turn to look at him.
