NaLu: The Story Of Us

▷▶Chapter 13◀◁

~still Lucy's P. O. V. ~

"Bingo." I replied. Sting smirked. "So, runaway princess." He commented. I elbowed him in the gut. "Shut up." I told him, and said, "Did Mira tell you why you had to transfer?" "Exchange program." He shrugged. Whew. "You knew I was supposed to be married to you?" I asked. "Duh. I also knew that you ran from home and admitted yourself to school of the Fairies. You do know that you are still in Saber, right? You have been skipping school for nearly a week." Sting said. "I haven't legally transferred. Honestly I would go back to Saber. There's an asshole I would like to avoid." I blurted truthfully. He raised an eyebrow at me. "If we were both in Saber, how could you reject a marriage with me? I mean, I am the most popular guy there." He self proclaimed. "Watch it, egoistic sucker." I stuck my tongue out, but sighed. "I'm 17. I don't wanna get married. And I really didn't know you all that well. Here's what I thought of you: egoistic sucker and ladies magnet. 10% good looks and 90% idiocy." "Ow, apologize to my heart." He joked. I froze. Natsu......what am I thinking? He hurt me. Whatever he once said be damned.

~(meanwhile, Natsu and Mira...) Natsu's P. O. V. ~

"Dragneel, care to tell me everything from the start?"

So I did.

I explained the contents of the video, starting from when I reached home and saw Lucy and Gray walking out with the luggage. Once I finished, ending with the part where Lucy screamed at me and left, Mira seemed deep in thought. "True, Lisanna seems like a possible suspect here. But why would she do something that is gonna expose her that easily?" "Beats me. I can't believe she would do that..." I groaned. Screw my reputation, Lucy's gonna be the talk of the school until something new happens. "I'll talk to Lisanna about this." Mira walked off. "Good luck finding her, imma look for Lucy." I left. I don't want to think about Lucy going on a rampage on me once she lays eyes on me. But I need to clear things up. Most of all, I needed a heart to heart talk with her. I turned around the corner but can't face to face with an obviously pissed guy with raven black hair.

"Let's talk, Dragneel."

I ain't scared of him, and I would beat him up if I wanted to, but things have changed. He's Lucy's onii-san.

I think the world hates me.

~(at the same time) Lucy's P. O. V. ~

"Lucy? Heartfilia? Oiiii Lucy?" "Huh yes what yeah?" I tripped over words, and sent a glare at Sting. "You seemed to be lost in Planet Venom so I pulled you back." "It's Venus, Einstein." I rolled my eyes. He was about to open his mouth to shoot some smart aleck comment back at me but the door to the rooftop opened.

Cana, Levy, Juvia, and Erza appeared. "LUCY!" I flinched. They ran at me and tackled me into a hug. "Guys I'm dyin here" I gasped. They released me immediately and then glared at Sting. "Who are you? " They asked. "Sting. Sting Eucliffe." They sucked in a breath of air. I grinned. "In the flesh." I added. They stared at me, then him, then me again. "Whatever, get out." Erza commanded. "Awwh that sucks." He whined.

Just like Natsu...

Shut up.

Erza got a red aura and the daggers in her eyes and she growled, "what did you say?" "SORRY MA'AM" He yelled and ran off. "Later, Lucy!" He called before disappearing from the rooftop. "Lucy-san, are you okay? Juvia is worried." Juvia said, coming closer and giving me a hug. "How did you know about the cuts?" I asked her. "Gray-sama told Juvia. He sounded nervous. Juvia promised Gray-sama that Juvia will check on you." She responded. I will never get over the third person way of talking, but that's why I love Juvia. That and her adorable ways. Erza calmed down and asked, "Lucy, what happened? Those scars..." She pushed my hair back and stared at them after Juvia pulled away. Levy looked close to tears, and Cana offered...booze? "No I'm good." I laughed. She looked at me weirdly. "Baka, I'm asking you to hold the booze. I'm gonna tie up your hair." Oh. I held on to the booze and Cana put my hair in a high messy ponytail. Levy got out some BandAids and put them on the scars after dabbing alcohol at them. "Isn't it too late for treatment....?" I questioned. Erza shook her head. Yup wasn't gonna argue with her. "Lucy...do you know about the video?" She asked.

"Tch" I spat. "I watched it when I reached the rooftop. Way to boost my third day in a new school. Just the third day and I'm already being tortured and blacklisted." I suddenly felt warm arms wrap around me. Juvia...? "Dont worry Lucy-san, we are here for you. Juvia will not let whoever did this get away with it. Whoever did this also hurt Gray-sama." She told me seriously. I couldn't help but laugh after hearing how high Juvia regarded my stripper brother. Soon, the bell rang, signalling the start of lessons. Erza herded us off the rooftop as I put the hoodie and band back on after Juvia returned it to me, apologizing.

After we reached the hallways, we separated and left for our classes. I headed for History with Levy and when we entered, Mr. Gildarts gave us a bored look and drawled, "Head to your seats, we were about to introduce a new student." Hearing that, I couldn't help but grin. New student eh. Levy and I hurried to our seats and settled down. The whole class' eyes were honed in on me, while I shifted uncomfortable trying to ignore. I couldn't blame them, they just saw a girl running down the hallways with scars exposed and something about a video. But when a familiar blonde entered the classroom, the attention was immediately diverted to him. Sting. "You sit there." Gildarts jabbed a finger at the seat behind Natsu, on Natsu's right, where this girl named Yukino was sitting. Everyone sweat dropped. "What, no introduction, sir?" Sting drawled, just like Gildarts did. He shut his eyes and opened one to glance lazily at Sting, before shutting it again. "Don't care." I felt something shift. Sure, Gildarts was passive and didn't care much about things, but he wasn't this passive. He would at least ask the newcomer to share with the class his name, age, and the norm facts, but this time...he glanced at me?

Gildarts looked at me. He knew something. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Sting, and back at me. I nodded. Gildarts shut his eyes again. "Introduce yourself make it quick." Sting's face displayed a fleeting moment of dissatisfaction but he smoothed it out and flashed a million dollar smile.

Natsu's smiles are brighter. And cuter. And--

Shut up.

"My name is Sting Eucliffe, I have come from Sabertooth High for an exchange program. I'm 17--" "Of course you are. Now sit there." Gildarts jabbed again at the spot beside Yukino. "Okay" he shrugged gamely. What's Gildarts' deal? I brushed it off and decided to pay attention the lesson. Not like there was anything to pay attention to--Gildarts was a nice guy, but incredibly lazy. Don't ask me how he became a teacher. He was smart, kind of, when it came down to it. Reminds me of someone...

Like an idiot with pink hair?

Ugh.

Sorry I made this chapter shorter, I needed to make things from Natsu's P. O. V. from when he met Gray and I couldn't go that far with the story. Sooo ummm if there are repetitions from the scene where they are in class I'm sorryyy 😢

Anyways, I managed to update today~yayyy~I'll try updating daily~~😄😄😄😄

Btw, I made some changes to Chapter 11: Sting Eucliffe. Some minor ones that you might not notice if you reread it, but I just wanted to let you know just in case you don't understand the flow of the story...wuhehe
