Chapter 11.

"How was your day?" Bora asked Lucy.

"Got in a fight, kicked their asses, met up with old friends" Lucy responded.

"Old friends? You mean the anger management group?" Bora asked.

Lucy laughed at the name he called them, it fit perfectly. The Anger Management Group, Lucy didn't know why she hadn't thought of that. Boy was Bora funny.

"So they leave you alone yet?" Bora asked.

"More like constantly bothering me" Lucy said.

Bora paused for a minute.

"Hey two of my friends got their ass beat you wouldn't know anything about that would you?" Bora asked.

"Reno and Ivan?" Lucy asked.

He nodded. Lucy held up her hands and showed Bora the bandages.

"They were about to rape an innocent girl. I had to put them in there place" Lucy responded.

"Did you have to break there arms and legs though?" Bora asked.

"I only fucked up Ivan's face and kicked Reno a few times. That must have been the Anger Management Group" Lucy said and laughed again.

Wendy didn't understand why her protector was so close to the killer. Were they friends? Nah. Wendy remembered a cartoon where the good guy pretended to be bad to catch the other bad guy, maybe that was what her Nee-san was doing right now. She only hoped that Lucy wouldn't get caught.

"It's about to be that time again isn't it?" Bora asked.

Lucy pulled out her phone and checked the date; he took a deep breath and nodded.

"Just don't do anything too crazy and if you need me just call" Bora said.

"Yeah I will" Lucy said then turned her attention outside the window.

It's been three days. Three times Lucy was kicked out of Mr. Atsuki's class for acting like a fool. Three times she met Gajeel on the rooftop and smoked with him. Three times she helped Juvia in her fourth period. Worst of all, it's been three times that Natsu's been spending Nutrition and Lunch with Lucy.

Natsu was jealous of Jellal. How come Lucy considered Jellal a friend and not himself? Natsu decided he was going to change that. He wanted to be Lucy's best friend so he's been dedicating himself to her. Natsu would always meet her at Nutrition and try to strike up a conversation.

It usually resulted in Lucy ignoring him, same for Lunch too. If only she would opened up to him. Natsu knew he wasn't that smart but he believed he could help Lucy. Why was she acting out like this? Why was she bored all the time? Why couldn't she see Natsu cared for her? Natsu's questions would be answered today.

It was the fourth day. Lucy had to drag herself out of bed and walk to school with Wendy. Lucy hated everything about today. She had no energy, no attention span, no tolerance for anything. She just wanted it to be over. Why? Because today was her Mother's death anniversary.

Lucy walked into her first period and just laid her head on the desk. She didn't even bother saying hi to Atsuki or Bora. Bora knew why though, he's known Lucy since middle school, he knew what today was. He also knew tomorrow Lucy would be back to normal. Pretty soon Lucy was fast asleep. Natsu stared at her wondering what was wrong. Maybe she was tired he thought.
