Lucy's POV
Finally home, in my nice warm bed. Safe from the outside but not safe from my mind. Wherever I go, I'm stuck with my thoughts and are unable to escape from its unbearable grip. Its like your watching the whole world move forward but you're stuck watching happen unable to move.
My mum and dad don't have a lot of money but they make enough for us to have a nice home and to buy food. I care for my mum and dad a lot but they don't know what is happening at school, they think that I have lots of friends and when I am not in the house I am at my friends house. But in reality I'm just walking around the dark, empty, streets trying to escape from my thoughts.
Flopping down on my bed, released all the stress of the day and allowed my mind to drift to the guy who had saved me, Natsu. Throughout my whole school life, I have always been the one to avoid or bully, never in all of that time has anyone stopped the bad things from happening, until him. Why?
With the thought still lingering inside my brain, I slowly drifted off to sleep.I woke up to the repetitive ringing of my alarm. If only I had the nerve to smash it to pieces but every time, I get scared that I'll hurt myself while doing it and because of that bloody alarm clock, I have a feeling which today will be almost as bad as yesterday. Hopefully I can avoid making contact with Lisanna's deadly gaze and make it through the day without any hardships.
I throw my old worn-out hoodie on and some baggy jeans then head to hell. Well close enough.
Natsu's POV
"Right Natsu, if you get expelled from this school you will have to go to military school because this is the last school which will take you." My mother hammered on at me.
"Yes mum I know. I know because of the 10 times you have told me this morning." I mumbled back.
"I'm just trying to get it in that hot headed skull of yours."
"Ok. I have to go or I'll be late."
Hopping out the car I grabbed my bag and headed towards reception.
At the desk was this young white haired woman and next to her was a name plate that said Mirajane.
"Uh hi, I'm Natsu Dragneel. I'm new."
She gave me a kind smile and said "oh yes, follow me I'll take you to your form room."
We walked out of the office down a long corridor full of lockers, turned left and walked down to the bottom end of the hall until we reached a buzzing classroom.
"Hello class. This is a new student, Natsu Dragneel."...Lucy's POV
My head shot up. Did I hear that right?
There in the front of my class was the boy who saved my life. He wore a tight plain black t-shirt with a red and black flannel shirt over the top, white chinos and a white scarf wrapped around his neck.
He looked in my direction as he looked around the room and our eyes caught each other's and I quickly looked a way and continued to focus on my doodles. Don't draw any attention to yourself Lucy and looking like you know the hot new guy won't help. Wait what? I did not say he was hot.
"Okay take a seat, Mr Dragneel."
Slowly, he strides his way to the empty seat next to me. Oh god.
"Hey Luce." He chirped as he sat down, loud enough for everyone to hear that he knew me. And what's with the Luce?
After the bell went Natsu was pulled aside by lisanna, probably gonna make him be another one of her boy toys but I ignored that and headed towards English.
"Luce wait up." I stopped and turned to see Natsu jogging towards me and lisanna looking like she was going to explode.
"Hi" I mumbled "what's that about?"
"That uh she was practically begging for me to sleep with her but I said I'm saving myself for that lucky lady." He turned to me and smiled. My legs almost cut out on me because of that smile.
I giggled and continued towards English.
At lunch i went to put everything in my locker while Natsu went and got us a table to sit at. I shoved my books in my locker and carefully shut it. But as It closed and I turned around I was slammed into the lockers and slapped around my face by none other than the natural disaster known as Lisanna. This gonna leave a mark great, more attention for me.
Every time I see that heap of makeup on what I believe to be a face, I just can't wait to have are daily chat.
"You think you are better than me because your friends with the new boy. But listen you're not, he's going to be mine. You got that? So you stay away from him or you'll get worse!"
I walk slowly to the library even though I am meant to meet Natsu but I'm too scared of lisanna to do so.
I put my head down and hood up and continue to walk but I actually walk into someone.
"Sorry" I squeak.
Just my luck to find it was Natsu who I bumped into. I look up then hide my face so he can't see the hand print on my face and the tears trying to pry themselves out of my tired eyes. My efforts were futile as Natsu lifted my chin with his fingers and pulled down my hood to see the raw mark on my cheek."Who did this Lucy?" He asked wiping the tears, which had made their way down my face.
I didn't answer because I'll be the one to get hurt even more.
"Lucy, please tell me."
There are now waterfalls coming from my eyes and my legs give out on me.
Natsu sits down on the floor next to me and lets me cry into his shoulder.
"Luce at least tell me this much, is this the person who almost made you kill yourself?"
I nodded vigorously into his shoulder.
"Will you please tell me who it is?"
After a moment of silence I look up at him and straight up say "lisanna" and as soon as I had said it I regretted it.
