Recap:

Natsu darling! I want to go here!" An annoying voice screeched.

"Don't call me darling" A guy said sternly

"Hehe!" The girl giggled, completely ignoring the tone of voice the guy used.

So close to closing....

Why?!

Misaki POV

I look over to Lucy to see how she reacted. As expected I saw the most annoyed face in history. I was quite annoyed, but it looked like Lucy was in some kind of hurry. I could practically see her irk marks. She ran a hand through her blonde locks and walk over to me. "Me or you?" She asked.

As I was about to say me because I felt bad, she interrupted saying, "Don't feel bad, if you want me to do it, I'll do it."

"How?" I questioned clearly confused.

"I can read people's eyes remember? We just need to get this over with, I gotta meet up with Sting." She said tiredly. Who's this Sting? Boyfriend?

"Who's Sting? Your booooyfriend?" I teased, while nudging her with my elbow. I expected her to get flustered but surprisingly she wasn't even fazed, making me feel awkward. "Brother" she answered bluntly. My cheeks flushed in embarrassment and I immediately bowed, "Gomensai! I didn't know!" I said. "It's fine, I'll take the order." She said as I saw her walk over to the specials menu.

That fake smile, it's so.... real...

I wonder how many times she has fake smiled to get it like that....

Lucy POV

I grab the specials menu before walking over.
I walk up the the people tiredly, not even bothering to look at who it is. I rub my eyes before putting on the act. "Good evening Master and Mistress!" I said bowing deeply, I get back up and present the specials with a bright fake smile. "Would you be so kind and get today's specials?"

Once I didn't hear a reply, I open my eyes to see a very familiar girl and boy. The girl had a very revealing crop top and her mini skirt was lifted dangerously high, while  the boy had on jeans and a white shirt.

I eventually identified them as Lisanna Strauss and Natsu Dragneel. Lisanna seemed to have a smirk on that annoying face of hers, while Natsu was still in shock. This was going on for a few more seconds until Lisanna walked up to me and said,

"You know, it's school policy that the students can't have a part time job, or are you just so poor that you're desperate?" Lisanna asked mockingly, with hands on her hips like she the boss or something. Upon hearing this, I could hear Misaki gasping, probably because she thought I was breaking school policy.

"Lisanna! That's rude!" Natsu hissed. Lisanna ignored him once again just blowing a kiss to him saying it's fine. "Argh" Natsu complained, instead of scolding the white haired girl again, he mouthed a 'sorry' in my direction. I assured him it was fine.

"Maybe I won't report you if you be my slave, peasant!" She said, about to kick me. Out of reflex, I grab her foot before she could kick me, at the very least, she was shocked.

"Actually Strauss, I asked Principal Makarov if I could and he accepted." I said plainly, as I tightened the grip on her ankle.
