Playboy's Attention《Book 1》

3: Feelings develop

September 9, Wednesday, 8:30 am Mavis's/Lucy's house

Lucy's POV
Oh man, I overslept! Now I'm gonna be late! I can't believe I'm gonna be late on my third day of school, ugh!

As I exit my house- well, aunt Mavis's house, I see pink hair.

Great.

So we're neighbors?

"Hey Luce! Need a ride?" He yelled while riding his bike.

"... No" I was hesitant, he was probably gonna molest me or something.

"C'mon, do you really wanna walk all that way? Besides, I won't do anything to you so don't worry." He says reassuringly.

I blushed bit and agreed.

"Cool! Now, hang on. We don't have much time left so it'll be a bumpy ride." He smiles at me.

I stood there for a few seconds, and then we made eye contact.

I was in awe of his beautiful green eyes, and how they shined in the morning. I felt like nothing else mattered, and it was just us.

I quickly broke the eye contact and got on the bike. I hung onto him as he started pedaling.

"Enjoy the scenery, Luce." He smiles at me.

"Y'know, you're not really all that bad. You may be a playboy but you're also a pretty decent person." I say softly.

His cheeks turned into a deep red colour (crimson, I guess), and kept pedaling faster.

Time Skip: 9:00 am, Makarov's class

Natsu and I arrived in class just at the right time. I took my seat while Natsu was being smothered by girls, again.

"Hey Lu! Did you finish that book I told you to read?" Levy asks excitedly.

"Ahh, sorry Levy. Not yet. I'll read it this weekend though!" I reply positively.

"Ah what a shame, I was hoping I'd get to talk about with you today. Oh well!" Levy sighed as she walks back to her desk.

On her way to her desk, Levy bumps into Gajeel.

Levy's POV
Ah, that hurt. What goof would bump into me like that? Like they clearly saw me in front of them!

"How rude!" I accidentally yell.

"Rude huh? I'll show you rude, you little shrimp." Gajeel deepened hid voice as he swung his arm.

Shrimp... He called me a shrimp! No way I'm letting him hit me now!

I stomped on Gajeel's foot just before he hit me.

"Asshole!" I yell at him as I stormed over to my desk.

Time skip: 9:30 am, Makarov's class

Lucy's POV
"Luuuuuucy..." Natsu softly calls out to me.

"What do you want? I reply with my voice having a harsh tone.

"Luce, I need you help with this..." Natsu says as he points to his math worksheet.

"What the- You haven't done anything!" I whispered to him.

"Pleaaaaaaassseeeeeeeeee?" He pleaded.

"Ugh, fine. But only for this first question, okay?" I ask with a sigh.

His face brightened up and he immediately solved the question after I told him how the formula works. Surprisingly, he could actually pretty smart if he tried.
