Missing Number ~ NaLu Fanfiction

Chapter 2 ~ Not my day

Lucy's POV:

A sigh escapes my pale, fragile lips as I drag my hand through my knot ridden blonde hair. I lay back on my old, rickety bed and shut my eyes.
Life's never been easy, and I guess it will never get easier.
Today was my first day at Magnolia high school. And I wish it was my last.
Nobody even noticed my existence, I was alone all day, nervous, lost, disappointed. I thought I would at least meet one person who would care.
I guess not. Even the students rolled their eyes and laughed when the teacher introduced me to the class.
I sat alone as I watched people walk past. I observed them. There was a group of guys that caught my eye. They were sat at the other end of the class. Constantly making cocky remarks and smirking at 'ring leader' this big headed pink haired idiot.
I think his name was Natsu? However I'm not sure.

I snap out of my thoughts when I hear a buzz coming from under me.
I fumble under my pillow and pull out my old, circular phone my mother gave me a while ago.
I gaze at my phone, confused.

Yo, ice princess,
Can you provide beer for Saturday's party?
Thanks
(Received Mon 17th)
—————————————————
Huh? An unknown number. And who is 'Ice princess'
I guess this person has the wrong number.
I politely replied and informed them that they have the wrong number.
We exchanged short conversation for a while, until they asked for my name.
I told them that I'm Lucy Heartfilia.
I highly doubt that they know who I am. And if they did, it's probably because of my father, Jude Heartfilia. An international business man.
What if they Google me? And think I'm a stuck up rich kid, when in reality I'm the opposite. This thoughts fog my mind up. Until my phone bleeps.

Hey Lucy!
I'm Natsu Dragneel. Only the hottest boy in Magnolia (-_^)
By any chance do you go to Magnolia high school?
—————————————————
N-Natsu?
You mean that pink haired idiot in my class.
That doesn't surprise me. Since he is really cocky. Urgh. He probably recognises my name. I'm surprised he is still talking to me.

(I'm going to change the text format)

Lucy: Why do you want to know?

He is probably going to be a jerk. Not if I'm a jerk first.

Natsu: alright. I promise I'm not a stalker (-_^), but I'm pretty certain you just started Magnolia highschool, correct?

Lucy: Okay, Natsu Dragneel, you are starting to creep me out... But yes. I did just start.

Natsu: Well you seem like the creepy sort. Sat at the back of the class, alone.

That sort of comment would normally hurt. But I'm used to it. My father normally insults me, and treats me like scum.

Lucy: wow.. At least I'm not the loud mouth who thinks he owns the school.

Natsu: And you wonder why no one likes you.

This Natsu guy is a douche.
I'm just going to ignore him, and hopefully he ignores me tomorrow. I shove my phone back under my pillow, so my father can't find it. Walking over to my small bathroom and gazing in the mirror I realise how messy, and filthy I look.
Why did I have to be born a Heartfilia. Everyone else in this stupid family gets to live a life of luxury and fame, while I'm stuck in the basement, treated like scum, and disowned from my own family.

I run a bath and pour bubbles in. Stripping off, I get in and become accustomed to the warmth.
Leaning back, my body sank into the water and my blonde hair spread out beside me.
I shut my eyes and relaxed. I wish I could just make one friend. Even if it is someone as rude as Natsu.

----mini time skip----

Getting out of the bath I wrap a fluffy white towel around my body and dry myself off. I pad barefoot over to my wardrobe and pick out some cute pink Pajamas. I wriggle into them and return to my bed.
I snuggle into my duvet, resting my head on my pillow, I was drifting off to sleep when I felt a vibration under my head.
'GAHH' i exclaim and immediately clasped a hand over my mouth, shutting me up. It's late and I don't want to attract unwanted attention.

Reaching out under my pillow I find my phone and read the messages. My eyes strain to focus, due to the bright light, so I turn the brightness down.

Natsu: Sorry Lucy, I sounded harsh. I'm sure you are a nice person. I just don't like people being bitchy.

Natsu: Lucy you there?

Natsu: Well it was nice while it lasted, I guess I have to find some more entertainment now.

Natsu is so bi-polar. He apologises one moment, and only used me for entertainment, probably to stop him from being bored.
You know what? I'm better off being alone, than knowing him.

I switch my phone off and fall back to sleep, tomorrow is a new day, and I'm going to try and break this unlucky cycle, and hopefully make a friend.
