Locked in the Dragon's Heart. (NaLu Fanfic)

Classmate

"Congratulations everyone for the awesome warmup! Although, let me just remind you guys that we have to establish a good relationship with the people in this class. We are not just learners and workers in this establishment, we are family. From now on, I consider you guys as my family. But be sure to remember that there are still limits. I am a teacher and you are a student, there is still a gap between the two, am I right?" The question echoed around the room. The students didn't answer not even a nod.

"The gap is called respect."

"Oh," the students said in unison.

Okay.

Why are we talking about this?

"Okay, guys. I have your sche-" the bang of a door interrupted our teacher. We all turned to where the noise came from and I saw pink hair. Great.

He entered with oozing arrogance. He placed his hand in his pocket and took the seat of the person beside us, Loki being the barrier between us. Basically, he gave the person that terrifying look on his face and he scurried off to find a new chair to sit in.

"Ah! Natsu Dragneel," the teacher said with a smile. A fake smile. "Enlighten me, explain to me why are you late?"

Natsu simply shrugged at the question and gave the teacher a smirk.

Behind the fake smile of the teacher, I can clearly see a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "Right," the teacher said in gritted teeth. "Since it's the first day of school I'll let this slip, for now. Do this again and you shall be punished accordingly."

Weird and kind of ironic, the teacher was talking about respect and then Natsu just barges in and turned his statement to shambles by disrespecting him.

As much as I don't want him to be my classmate, I can't do anything about it. I guess I'll just deal with it, although I really hope that he won't disturb me or talk to me or interact with me.

"You." I heard Pinky snarling. I spoke too soon. I turned slowly and saw a huge scowl on his face. "Out of all people, it had to be you."

"Yeah?" I raised a brow. "Would say the same to you."

"Can you change seat? I don't like seeing your face."

"Wow," I laughed out of amusement, "I should be the one to say that since you are the one who technically sat near me. If you don't want to sit near me, fine, then go change seat. I'm not going to change seat just because a mindless jerk asked me to do so. I'm not going to do as you please and I'm not going to adjust for you," I rolled my eyes.

"God, you're such an earful!" He scoffed while using his pinky to block his ear.

I exhaled, trying to release the frustration. This guy has the talent of ruining my day!

"On behalf of Natsu, I apologize," Loki said with a small curve on his lips.

"No, don't do that. Do not apologize for a jerk like him."

"He's my friend, I want to."

"You must be a really good and patient friend. I mean, how are you able to deal with him?"

"Well, I understand why he's like that. Sometimes the person you love or trust the most, does the most damage to you."

That's a hard truth.

"Honestly, I don't think that should be an excuse to treat other people that way. Yes, you have your problems but it doesn't mean that you should hate the world for it."

"Good point but people think differently, Lucy. They express their emotions in different ways."

"Point taken, Loki," I smiled and he smiled back.

The bell rang and the students slowly stood up.

"Wait, everybody!" The teacher blocked most of the students, making all of us stop. "Bring a notebook tomorrow, we have an activity!" The students groaned and the teacher laughed in response. "Don't worry guys, it won't be hard. I had fun with you guys, enjoy the rest of the day!" He stepped aside and the students rushed out of the door.

Levy and I walked in the corridor. It was filled with people, it felt like we're ants. We finally got out of the building after minutes of walking. This wasn't the first day of school I had in mind.

"Lucy, I'm going home now." Levi smiled. "Bye," I waved and she waved back. I sighed and felt pain on my knee. I looked at it and it was sort of scraped. "Ah, shoot," I groaned in pain.

"Ha, you totally deserve it," Natsu chuckled.

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes and glared at him. What is he, a mushroom? Just pops out of nowhere?

"Hey, aren't you that girl in the field?" Gray narrowed his droopy eyes while looking at me.

I only nodded at his question.

"Lucy, your knee is bleeding," Loki said while pointing at my wound. He dug in his pocket and got a band-aid. "Here, let me put it on."

"Ah, no thanks. I'll do it myself, thanks anyway," I only smiled at him and took the band-aid.

"What the f$&!, Loki? Seriously?" Pinky said, disgust all over his ridiculous face. "Just leave her be, dammit. Let the b$?£# suffer, it's not like she's going to die. Not that I care anyways."

With that, I left hastily. I went to my apartment right away because I don't want to see that brainless jerk. His words shouldn't get to me. I must admit it, what he said kind of hurt me but nevertheless, his words shouldn't mean anything because he isn't in any way, important in my life and it will stay that way.

I looked at the doorstep and heaved a sigh. Finally, I can rest for the whole afternoon. I opened the door and as always, no people. I have been living in this apartment recently due to family problems. My father gave me this place but he'll only pay for the first few months after that, I have to find a job to pay for the bills. Even if he'll still give me allowance, it's not enough. Thanks, dad! Note the sarcasm. My father is a wealthy man but he is miserly.

I plopped into my bed and closed my eyes. "I hope it will get better soon." As I said those last words, I slowly started to fall asleep.

What's up guys?
I am sorry I updated just now because of reasons I don't want to tell.

So, how is the chapter?

Any suggestions on what should be the teachers name?

At this point, do you think that there'll be any hope for Natsu and Lucy to get along? ;)
