My Soul Mate

Chapter 17

I waved goodbye to everyone as I made my way to my first class. Which was with Natsu and Gray. Maybe I can ask why Natsu's upset. I stepped in and took my seat between the two. Natsu wouldn't even look at me. It's starting to bug me.

"What's up with fire breath?" Gray asked. I shrugged, not taking my eyes off him. "I'm worried I might've done something." I bit my bottom lip. Gray put his hand on my shoulder. "You didn't. Natsu gets like this sometimes." Gray tried to reason. "You all heard him call me Lucy, and not Luce." I retorted. I heard Gray sigh.

"He'll get over his tantrum." Before I could say anything else, the teacher entered the room and class begun.

=^-^==^-^=

"Natsu?" I looked over at him. "What?" He didn't take his eyes off the board. "Are you mad at me?" I asked.

"No." He answered, stiffly. Liar. "Natsu please tell me if I did anything wrong." He stood up, making the whole class grow quiet. He turned to me and slammed his fist on the desk.

"Will you just leave me alone. I'm not in the mood to deal with you." I watched as he left the classroom. I could feel my heart breaking in two. It felt as if an arrow had shot right through it. I knew I did something.

"Please may I be excused?" I blurted through the silence. He looked at me and nodded. "You may." 

I ran through the hallway, Gray hot on my trail. "Lucy, wait!" He yelled. I just kept going until I found myself in the front of the school, tears streaming down my face. "Lucy, what happened when you two were gone?" He asked. I looked at him. "Please just leave me alone. It's all my fault." My voice sounded broken. I never knew that I depended on Natsu so much. He ignores me and here I am crying.

"Lucy, stop crying. Natsu would be even more pissed if he saw he made you cry." Gray crossed his arms. I chuckled. "To late."
