Chapter 20

LUCY'S POV

The next morning i woke to Levy's alarm clock which was quickly shut when Levy pressed the OFF button. The morning sunshine radiated across Levys room and pierced my morning eyes.

I let my brain process what happened yesterday night. I just witnissed my best friend kiss her crush. You see i was asleep until levy screamed which woke me up so i pretended to sleep and i heard and watched everything they did last night including the kiss and the conversation, now i have something to bother Levy about for a long time.

I grabbed my school uniform and went to take a shower in Levy's bathroom. It was quite early in the morning so after taking  a shower i let my golden locks fall over my shoulder and put a side pony tail, i then made my way to the kitchen and started to prepare breakfast. I grabbed 8 eggs and poured 8 cups of orange juice. I glanced at the clock on the wall and it read 8:00 so we still had 30 minutes till school so i went downstairs to wake up the gang.

I went to first wake up Jellal and Erza so i quietly crept downstairs only to be met with an empty bed. Huh? Where did they go i thought.

"Hello Lucy were you looking for us?" Erza said from behind me causing me to stumble forward but luckly Erza grabbed my arm quite roughly if i may say and she pulled me back on my feet.

"Uh yes i was,wow you guys are early today." I said tilting my head to see Jellal standing behind Erza also in his uniform.

"We are always early and surprisingly we both wake up at the same time." Erza said patting my head.

"Ok you guys can go upstairs and eat breakfast and i will go wake up the others." I said waving them off.

"Gray Juvia you guys awake?" I whispered but no reply probably meant they were still asleep so i decided to let them sleep a bit more and go wake up Lisanna first but she was already awake actually they were all awake and had they made their way to kitchen while i was here trying to find them. How Embarassing.

I walked back up stairs and all of them thanked me and greeted me before we all made our way back to school so while we were walking i decided to find some answers. I jogged up to Gray who was walking in front of us with Gajeel.

"Hey Gray i was wondering if you knew what happened to Natsu in his past?" I asked while trying to keep the same past but surprisingly he walks very fast.

"I dont really-" Gray was cut off by Juvia again for the hundredth time warning me to stay away from her precious Gray and once again he had to reassure her over and over again before coming back to answer my question.

"As i was saying I dont really know if i am allowed to tell you but all i can say is that Natsu has had a rough past and its not his fault he is the way that he is right now but if you still want to know you can personally ask Natsu and see if he will tell you."Gray said.

"Okay thanks anyway." I said slowing down so i could talk to Levy. We all talked about casual things before we had to split up for our classes, I looked around for Natsu but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey Lucy!" Gray called to me before we went to our classes.

"Yeah?"

"If you are looking for Natsu today he wont be where he normally is he would probably be alone so dont bother him he is never in a good mood today. Every year this is the day he wants to be alone so we let him keep to himself everytime." Gray explained.

"Okay" I said even though i was now more curious then ever but instead of trying to be too nosy i kept to myself.

Throughout the day Natsu being the top student that he is showed up in his classes but he always sat far away from everyone even Gray,Gajeel and Jellal and he didnt follow exactly everything the teacher said but the teacher seemed to understand why even if no one else did.

When the bell rang signaling it was time to go to science class i remembered that today we had a work period to work on our animals so luckly i brought the model dog i made a day ago.

I turned my head to face Natsu since we sat together in science and placed the model dog on a table nearby. He was staring out the window with his head resting on the palm of his hand.

"So um Natsu i made the dog and you probably brought the information so all we have to do is decide on who says what when we present."

"......" No reply

"Um Did you hear me?"I asked as i waved my hand  in front of his face but i was completely caught off guard when he grabbed my wrist with his right hand then let go of it a few seconds later.

He grabbed his bag and took out 5 pages of information, no wonder he is one of the top students at Fairy Tail i thought.

He dropped it one the table and let out a sigh before speaking for the first time this whole day.

"Listen Blondie."

"Its Lucy." I corrected.

"Okay Lucy  I will explain the information and you can explain the model you made. I will make half the script and because you wanted to do something you can do the last half. I will text you when i am done half and it will be mailed to your house so you can do the rest."Natsu said. Before i could reply he grabbed his bag and walked out the door.  Aries saw him leave but just nodded and went back to  her work.

I decided to go help Gray and Juvia with their paper mache Polar Bear since Dragneel just left and i asked everyone if they needed help and they didnt only Gray and Juvia did so i helped them.

"Lucy dont worry about your partner he is just going through personal issues so dont worry about it and sorry for taking up your time." Aries said then bowed and went to write somethings for the next class on the chalkboard.

"Okay thank you Aries." I said then bowed right after.

LUNCH TIME

Lunch was the same as usaul except that Natsu was nowhere to be seen ever since he walked out of Science class.

"Guys have you seen Natsu?"I asked.

"Shouldnt he still be eating lunch even if he wants to be alone." I asked Gray.

"Dont worry about him Lucy." Gajeel assured.

Levy and Erza soon met up with us and we all placed our trays on the lunch table and we started to talk about this morning.

"Hey Lu-chan do you have a crush on Natsu?" Levy cooed.

"No why would you think that?" I said trying to steer clear of where this conversation was going. 

"Because you keep wondering where Natsu is and you are constantly worrying about him." Levy explained which then lead to all of them giving me advice on how i should confess to him.

"Guys i dont like him okay." I said which wasnt completely true i might like him a bit but i dont think he likes me back.

When there was only 30 minutes left to lunch, Natsu still hadnt shown up so i decided to get some food and try to find him.

"Guys i am going to find Natsu and bring him some lunch." I said while LIsanna was smirking.

"May i have another tray so i can bring it to a classmate."I asked the chef and he immediatly realised who it was and handed me a tray with food.

I walked all around the school and Natsu was nowhere to be found at first i thought that maybe he went home but Natsu would never miss school. Finally due to exhaustion i went to the roof to take a break. I found the roof the first day i came to Fairy Tail and i loved the view so i remembered where it was so i walked up to the roof.

What i didnt expect to see was someone standing awfully close to the edge of the roof. He was looking at the ground with his hands in his pockets. When i slowly placed the tray of food on the bench i crept closer to the person in attempt to identifiy the person.

I saw.....................
