You Deserve the World

Natsu's POV
I keep repeating our conversation last night and the kiss on my cheek and every time I replay it and think of her I struggle to catch my breath because my heart is beating so fast.
Normally when my Heart is pumping this fast it is because I'm angry. But this is because I'm really happy.
It could also be because I'm really ill and being sick all morning, however I'm pretty sure it is from her making me happy.
All I know is that since I've met her I've had less violent outbursts and this is the longest I've ever been in a school without being suspended or expelled.

While in curled up in bed, Ill, I'm just hoping that she will be alright without me there for a day or two.

Lucy's POV
I walk into school hopeful, happy and ready to hang out with Natsu again. I wore less hoodies and more long sleeved t-shirts that showed more curves. I'm slowly becoming the old me; the me before the bullying (which was the 7 year old me).
I stood and waited at the front doors, by the large Fairytail mascot, for Natsu to show up. He must have been running late because normally he would be waiting for me to show up.
Knowing that I didn't want to be late for form I waited a few more minutes but then left for class.
He still didn't show after the register was taken so I quickly assumed that he was not gonna be in today for what ever reason.
So I sat alone at a desk which is meant to hold two, doodling which is something I did when I was alone before Natsu showed up. While waiting for the bell to ring I started doodling a cute little dragon, sat down blowing a small little poof of smoke out of its mouth with a speech bubble, that had the word 'Rawr' neatly written inside of it.
Knocking me out of my dazed doodling state, the bell screeched at me to let me know it was time for my first my period. I pack my bag up and headed towards my locker.
I entered in my code 'x777'. Once the code had been clicked into place the locker door creaked open, allowing me to open it all the way. I put my bag inside, and was about to grab my tired English book from the top shelf when the door slammed shut, almost trapping my hand between the two metals, and revelling the one and only, lisanna, behind it. In my head I hoping that she just wants to apologise but in reality I doubt that is the case.
"Um hi" I spoke nervously.
"Um hi. Um hi." She mocked. "What happened to itty bitty Lucy who would never talk. Wait is it because you have your boyfriend Natsu to protect you?"
"Uh h-he's not um my my boyfriend." I stuttered. I talk all big in my head but in the real world I'm a blubbering mess.
"Aw but I bet you wish he was." She jabbed my shoulder, pushing me backwards. "But I'm gonna tell you this now so that your not hurt when it happens. He. Doesn't. Like you." Every time she started a new sentence she pushed me back a little more until the last one made me trip backwards onto the floor. The other people who were in the corridor just stood and watched and pretended it isn't happening. It's all happening again.
"Where is Natsu now. Slut." She spat.
Ah 'Slut' a word typically used against women who sleep around with multiple men or women. Though I have yet to have sex and she's the one who may have more than one STD. The irony. She literally spat on me and walked off, leaving me on the floor. Here we go again.
Slowly I rose from the floor, wiping the spit from my face, when levy rushed over: probably oblivious to what had happened.
"Lou Lou! Are you okay?" She asked frantically as she helped me the rest of the way up.
"Yeah I'm okay, just a little fall." I lied. The concept of lying isn't a new thing to me as I alway lied to my parents (I never like to though), where as lying to friends is something completely different. I never had friends when I got bullied before and that meant no lying to them but now that I have Natsu, levy and Gray, I feel even worse for lying. I make myself feel better by lying to myself by saying that it's not lying it's withholding information of the truth. Like just now; technically I did fall I just happened not to say how I happened to fall.
"Oh okay. Are you ready for English?" She asked instantly forgetting my 'fall'.
"Let me just get my book" I said putting on a fake smile- another thing I was very good at doing.
