The two entered the classroom. Everyone's eyes stayed on them as they arrived right before the teacher had started.
"Lucy, Natsu, I see you've decided to join us. Take a seat quickly, please," Ms. Lyra gestured to the last row of empty seats.
They hurried over to the chairs in the back, right as the teacher continued. "Anyways, emotion plays a huge role in your music, as does your message. I, personally, try to use music as a way to communicate with others. Does it work? Not really," The teacher shrugged, earning a few chuckles from the students.
"Nonetheless, music is your way of expressing who you are, or how to get people to really listen to you. Songs can make you cry, laugh, smile, maybe even feel angry," Ms. Lyra said. "Is anyone willing to sing today? Or do I have to pick someone?"
Lucy shrunk in her seat, not wanting to go. Natsu nudged her lightly, causing her to look at him. The boy nodded and leaned closer to her ear. "Just look at me the whole time if it makes you feel better."
The blonde let out a shaky breath and nodded, raising her hand up slowly.
"Lucy?" Ms. Lyra nodded, smiling brightly.
Everyone's eyes turned to her, watching as she cautiously got out of her seat and made her way to the front of the room.
She grabbed the stool that was placed at the edge of the room and dragged it to the middle. Lucy shuffled over to the pianist, murmuring something to him before sitting back in the stool.
Her eyes scanned over the rows of students, feeling her heartbeat racing. She wiped the palms of her hands on her legs anxiously.
She stiffened, remembering something. "Just look at me the whole time if it makes you feel better." Her chocolate brown eyes shifted over to the pink haired boy, making eye contact with his onyx ones. Her shoulders relaxed, feeling her nervousness melt away.
Lucy glanced over her shoulder, nodding at the pianist. She took a deep breath in, keeping her eyes on Natsu.

"All the way down, finding my way around
Stars at night to cover me
Back and forth, searching for my way north
Unbroken ground, I'm wandering
Love is around, love is around, baby
Tryna' get out, tryna' be found and maybe,
I've got to get lost to get where I'm going
Like roses, we're only here for a moment
Ashes to ashes
Mountains will always need to be climbed,
But we only go one foot at a time
Our voices, tryna' be more than just noises
Echo to echo
Nobody gets to leave here alive,
Don't just survive, don't just survive
Heaven and hell, dancing inside myself
Music plays like a symphony
Ebb and flow, battles they come and go
There's calm inside the catastrophe
Love is around, love is around, baby
Tryna' get out, tryna' be found and maybe,
I've got to get lost to get where I'm going
