"Hi Aniko, it's Lucy, sorry about that FaceTime call with your parents, I really didn't mean to seem that snobby, it's just, if I could convince your parents..."
"It's fine, to be completely honest with you, I don't even know why you want me over there, I'm only excited because Lyon is one of my good friends and it'll be a good bonding experience for us."
"Oh, so he didn't tell you?" I queried, sketching a few lines on the brand new sketch book I had bought yesterday.
"Hmm, nope. Why? Do you know Lyon?" I stifled a laugh. "Noooooo, it's not like I asked him to escort you to come all the way across the ocean over to Magnolia to get this opportunity or anything. I just picked him off the street, yeah." I heard her hum, also hearing the sound of her packing.
"I can tell that we'll be friends, I mean, it's not everyday that you find a person that doesn't take sarcasm offensively." I hum, agreeing with her.
"I really don't understand why you're giving me this opportunity though, I'm nothing special." I roll my brown eyes.
You're like, a goddess to someone. Cough* Zeref Cough*
"Oh? Really?" I snorted. She laughed. "You're just like what everyone here says your not. They're all like, 'Lucy Heartfilia is perfect and I don't even think she can produce an ugly sound, oh, shit."
I laugh, taking none to heart. "Oh my gosh, I'll have to come over there and punch some enlightenment on some of those students." I grin, sketching to whatever came to mind.
"Woah, you weren't offended! And you weren't even fazed when I cursed! What the heck? Aren't you supposed to be prim and proper?"
"There's a lot of things you can tuck behind the media so they don't see anything." She nodded in agreement. "Yeah. When I dyed my hair red at the tips, the media went crazy at how I was 'improper'"
"What do you expect?"
"I know right?"

After about an hour of talking with Aniko, we've become quite close friends. She tells me that she has to go and I follow up with saying that too.
We both give our goodbyes and the call ends. "Who knew she was so friendly?" I asked myself, looking down at the drawing that I had been doing absentmindedly this whole time.
As I look down at the sketchbook, my face goes scarlet. "Kyaaa!!! Why did I draw this?! How did I draw this?! Absentmindedly too! I thought it would turn out like scribbles!!"
I look around frantically, making sure that no one has seen what I've drawn. I press it against my chest and then take a look at it again. I quickly blush and shove it back into my chest.
"What do I do with it?! What if someone finds it?! Uh.. I DONT KNOWWW!!"
I pace around my room, not know what to do. "If I trash it, Minerva is bound to find it. If I rip it up, Rogue will be able to put it together. If I burn it, Yukino will find me before I can do it. And if I just keep it in here, Sting will go through it!!! NOO THIS IS A LOSE-LOSE SITUATION."
As I quickly as I can, I rush towards my closet. I open the door and put it in my secret compartment filled with chocolate. I look at the drawing one more time before blushing.
