My Unrequited Love For You

New Acquaintances

We went our separate ways when Erza and Cana left to their classes. Erza along with Mirajane, Laxus, and a few others are grades above us yet we all have the same homeroom class. Funny right? In Fairy Tail some classes have a mix of grade levels in them. I learned that Arata, Sting, and Rogue are the same age as me and Natsu while Lisanna and Yukino are a grade below us. I guess Mira-san and Elfman should be happy to share some classes with their little sister. The thing is, Fairy Tail High is apart of the Fiore district which has a variety of schools. Its one giant school district but we each belong to a 'guild' as we students call the schools. Fairy Tail is the school that I chose but all of the schools are connected, they are just a few cities away from the other which is why even if you are in a guild outside of Fairy Tail you can take courses that Fairy Tail offers a few weeks in the semester. That's what Yukino, Sting, and Rogues are doing.

When I reached my next class with Levy, I was surprised to see Arata and Rogue talking with the teacher. You see Levy and I are in the Advanced English class for our school year. Its held at University level. Most people don't take this course since it can be  very difficult. Which is why all the students who reach this level from the Fiore district take the same class together. We connect over video 'lacrima'. Lacrima is a new invention that a member of the Fairy Tail staff, Warren, has created. We all use it to connect. Lyon Vastia from Lamia Scale, Rufus Lore from Saber Tooth, Kagura from Mermaid Heel, and shockingly Hibiki Lates from Blue Pegasus are apart of this course. I didn't realize that I was just standing there until Levy gave me a little push forward. "Lu-chan! Let's go so we can see if we are sitting near each other!" I smiled "Yeah, let's go Levy-chan!" We walked up to the chalkboard to see that we were both seated next to one of the new students. Levy and Rogue would share a desk and so would Arata and I... again. At least we were next to each other so we would still be able to talk to each other in class. I we walked to our seats which were located in the back of the class. I put my school bag on the hanger that was on my side of the desk. While I was taking out my supplies I heard the chair next to me move and the sound of someone taking a seat.

"So we got stuck next to each other again ne, Arata?" "Y-yeah we did." "Hey, I forgot to ask, where did you get your insignia?" He looked puzzled for a second before his face brightened up and he responded "You didn't see it before but here it is!" He lifted his right hand and turned it in my direction. There in the center was a Fairy Tail guild mark that would be identical to mine if the color had not been blue almost black; just like his hair. "On the back of your hand?" "Yeah, what about yours?" I raised my right hand and faced the back of it to him. "Me too! We have our marks in the same spot! We also have common interests." He chuckled, "Well we seem to have a lot in common, Lu." I giggled and turned to my right to see Levy already in conversation with Rogue. If a certain someone sees Levy-chan talking with Rogue like that he's going to get mad and jealous... The teacher's assistant Freed Justine walked around handing us notes to follow along with the teacher. Throughout the period I would be in occasional conversation with Levy and Arata. I had a feeling I would enjoy this class. 

The bell rang signaling the end of class and the beginning of Lunch. I collected my materials and put them back into my bag and waited for Levy to finish packing up. When she was done I stood up. "Well then see you later Arata." I smiled and waved goodbye to my desk mate and walked to our group's Lunch spot with Levy-chan. When we arrived to the big Sakura Tree that always provided us shade when we needed it I saw that most of our group had already arrived. Gray wasn't here yet, though. I took a seat on the grass next to Natsu and put my head on his shoulder, and Levy sat next to me. Without turning around to look at me he said "Oh, hey Lucy, how was class?" I smiled "It was good, I got to sit at the desk next to Levy-chan's and I share a desk with-" "Yeah, yeah that's nice now can you move your head? It's actually pretty heavy." I blushed and sat up and looked down at my hands.

I looked up again when I heard a light giggle. I should have guessed that she would sit with us from now on. It came from Lisanna, a girl I had not even conversed with. "Natsu-kun, don't be so mean." Her voice is so light and soft. I heard Natsu chuckle and so I directed my attention to him instead. A light blush covered his cheeks. "Sorry, Lis." Lis? And he insulted me, so why is he apologizing to her?  I shook my head and plastered a smile on my face. "Ne, Natsu, here's your bento." I said reaching into my bag and pulling out a box that was about three times the size of mine and handed it to him before taking out mine. His was red and wrapped with a black cloth. Mine was pink wrapped with a red cloth. "Uh, yeah. Thanks." He commented as he reached for it. "Oh, are you two dating?" questioned Lisanna. I could feel my face heat up and pairs of eyes look in my direction. I looked around to see that everyone, even Jellal, Gajeel, and Laxus were watching us. I looked at Natsu and he spoke.

"Of course not!"

Whatever hope I had that he would answer with a 'yes' crumpled down. I simply stayed quiet. "Then why does she make lunch for you?" "I doubt she actually makes it, I bet her maid does it for her. Besides she's just my childhood friend and she offered to so why not? I mean this way I don't have to pay for lunch right?" "Oh I see! Sorry for the misunderstanding!" she commented and finished with a giggle. "Natsu! You know that Lucy prepares her own lunch along with yours and that Virgo does not." Input Erza. "Well how was I supposed to know? She has so many servants that it wouldn't be so difficult to tell one of them to make it." I could feel the smile on my face wavering and new that my eyes would get watery soon. "I'll be back. I think I forgot something in one of my classes." I excused myself as I got up and grabbed my bag walking off towards the school building without stopping. Once I knew I was far away enough so they wouldn't see me I took off into a sprint and crashed into someone, but I didn't stop and ran into the nearest restroom. I walked into a stall and let the tears fall.

Why? Why does it affect me so much? Is it because I know that he doesn't love me back?
