I: Heartfilia, He: Dragneel. (A NaLu AU)

'I have a fiancee' is not a good excuse.

"Turn left."

On this sunny day, when I stepped into my new school, I knew that this was a bold decision I made. Attending a public school when you were homeschooled for most of your life is not so easy. Yeah, I went to school way back when I was a toddler.

And I just don't want to remember it.

Right now, I was in Pin- Natsu's car, riding back home. Again, this is risky, but I'm still doing it. I want to have a proper experience of high school life.

"What are you thinking about, Luce?"

"Hm?"

I moved my arm from the window and twisted myself to look at him.

"You were lost in your thoughts."

"I was enjoying the view."

And I didn't lie about it. The view was amazing. The parks were lusciously green and the cherry blossom trees glowing under the sun made it more beautiful.

"It's really beautiful."

"It is."

I turned back to look at him just to find out that he was looking at me.

"Focus on the road." He chuckled.

"I am, but I can't help watch it."

Stupid Dragneel. I don't want to get myself embarrassed.

I raised my brow. He laughed.

"I mean Magnolia isn't just famous for its parks. It is alluring, after all."

See?

"You're right."

"Where did you study before you joined Fairy Tail?" Natsu asked a few seconds later.

"I was homeschooled."

"Homeschooled? It must be a boring life then."

"You have no idea."

"Where to next?"

"Just turn right from the second street."

"You could've told me you lived on Strawberry Street." I shrugged.

The ride throughout was very comfortable.

Why wouldn't it be when you were riding with a devilishly handsome boy in a devilishly handsome car. Oh, the car...

Stop thinking about Dragneel like that! Oh, but his car...

"Just right there!"

I pointed out to my apartment I rented three days ago. The land lady was a bit scary, but she was nice. The only thing that shouldn't bother me but bothered me anyway was the rent.

70,000 jewels is a lot of money.

The car came to a halt as soon as I opened the door.

"Thanks for the ride!"

"Hey, Luce! Wait!"

"Yeah?"

Natsu grinned evilly and I gulped.

Should I be scared?

"We should hang out sometime."

Should I trust him? He's known to be the school's bad boy after all.

"Um, yeah. Sure. Thanks again."

"Anything for you, Luce. See ya!"

He drove away after waving his hand. I unlocked my door and ran straight for the bathroom.
