Wait...You're a Girl?!? [On Hold]

Wait...

A/N: I hate school. So much work, not enough free time. Fencing has also taken up my time, but the season is over now so I should be able to write at least every two weeks.  Also, today is my Birthday, so I thought I'd give you a gift!!

Also, in the media is the new version of Aku. I drew it in my new style of art. It's JUST A QUICKIE I put together, but I think I've really improved! I know it has imperfections, but I didn't feel like fixing it now...meh.

Lucy's POV
___________

It has been weeks since the incident...but it was defiantly not forgotten. Zeref made it impossible for me to forget

Flashback
____________
"Luke!"

"Ah! Natsu!"

The pinkette ran to me with his arms open to hug me like usual but...

"NOPE!," Zeref yelled as he charged into Natsu knocking him down, and hugging me instead.

End of flashback

I sighed at the memory. He hasn't been the only one to act that way. Almost all of them have been doing that. It's annoying, but at the same time it's kinda cute.

"Luke!"

My thoughts came to a halt once someone called my name. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw that it was Aku.

"Oh hey!"

Aku defiantly wasn't an exception to the strange act. He would always fight with Natsu whenever he tried to come close to me.

Actually...now that I think about it, everybody goes after Natsu. I giggled at the thought.

"Hm? What's funny?," Aku said peering down at me. I smiled and shook my head, "nothing really~"

He sat next to me on the edge of the fountain I was sitting on and twiddled with the sewed up sleeve of his right arm. "Still not used to it?," I asked. He always tended to fiddle with the fabric on his severed arm.

"Well after 17 years of having an arm, it's kinda weird to have nothing there..."

"I guess you have a point."

An awkward silence washed over us, but Aku eventually spoke up.

"Ah...um...Lucy? I want to tell you something!" He sort of shouted that into my ear and I cringed. I looked at the currently flustered boy and shushed him. "I'm right next to you! And be careful using my name out in the open!"

"S-SORRY!"

"Aku!"

"Sorry."

This boy could be too much, I swear...

"What were you going to say?"

"Ah right. W-well I really li-"

"OI!!"

I heard Aku scoff when he realised he was interrupted by Natsu.

"You always have such bad timing!"

"I think my timing was perfect, hehe!," Natsu smiled brightly, posing victoriously. He pried Aku away from me and sat in between us.

"Did you guys sign up for the jGMG's yet?"

"jGMG's?," Aku asked. He was clearly confused.

"It's the junior Grand Magic Games. It's a competition that's similar to the actually GMGs , but it has sports events instead of the 'mini games'," I explained, "but it's not like the Slayer Class has a choice. Gildarts forced all of us to sign up."

Natsu smirked, "Yeah, but I signed up twice! Now I'll be two times as likely to get in!"

"I might have not been in this school for long, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works, dimwit," Aku's face held a sly expression. He seemed proud of his remark. It was no wonder. Natsu looked ticked off.

"Don't call me dimwit, you damn giant!"

"I'm not a giant. You're just short~"

"IM NOT SHORT!! IM AVERAGE!!"

"I bet you don't know what average means."

"Of course I know what it means!!"

"Then define it!!"

"It means...! Um...I think..."

"Hah...i knew it"

"SHUT UP!!!"

Idiots.

Every time they come close to each other they fight. It's just like what happens when Natsu is around Gray.

"Alright guys, I think that's enou-"

"STAY OUT OF IT!!"

Well...that ticked me off.  I grabbed their shirt collars and slammed them into the ground.

"SHUT UP!"

"SORRY LUKE!"

Hmpf. That's what they get for yelling at me.

They sat back down at the fountain, far away from each other of course, and stared at me.

"What?"

"Nothing!" They both said.

They're seriously weird.

*rinng* (crappy af SFX)

"Aw man. Class is starting...," Natsu groaned.

"It's training for the jGMGs, Natsu. I thought you'd be more excited."

"OH YEAH YOURE RIGHT!! WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?!?" And with that he sprinted off with a trail of dust behind him. I saw Aku looking at looking at him in utter shock. Though, it made sense since he had never seen Natsu so excited for class.

"Never thought I'd see the day"

"If there's fighting involved, he'll be there in a heartbeat."

I offered my hand to him to help him off the edge of the fountain. Taking my hand, he helped himself up and we began to walk towards the Fairy Tail section of the school.

"Hey Lucy, can I ask you something?"

I looked up at him and nodded slightly.

"Why don't you just tell the other three guys that you're a girl?"

Only three of them out of eight don't know?! I'm doing a really bad job at keeping this a secret...

"Too many people already know, Aku."

"Yeah but they're your friends, Lucy. Don't you trust them?"

"I do bu-"

"Then tell them. It's not fair to them. Besides, they're good people. I don't think they'll say anything. Though, they might become overprotective. And by they, I mean Natsu," making sure to add venom to the way he said Natsu's name.

"I'm not sure....i mean...I'm scared of what they'll think. Especially after finding out everyone else knew."

"I'm sure it'll be fine. Besides, I think Natsu would be relieved to know that you're a girl, and that he's not in love with a guy."

"WAIT...YOU'RE A GIRL?!?"

I stood frozen in my tracks. It felt like my heart stopped when I saw Natsu standing in front of us with wide eyes. I was literally shaking.

"Why're you here?," Aku asked cautiously

"I going to get you guys but..."

I can't.

I can't face him

I'm afraid of his reaction most of all.

So I did the only thing I could think of.

I ran.

That's all for now!!!!

I'll update soon since I got my flow back!
