Saving Lucy {Nalu Fanfic}

Why??

Time ticks by. Hours pass. People laugh. People smile. People talk. The world keeps on spinning. Everyone fits in; all except me. Why can't I be normal. I feel like eyes are always concentrated on me, waiting for me to slip up. Pain seeps through my arm hidden by a long sleeved shirt. No-one ever bothers to talk to me~ so why is he here asking if I'm ok?

He stands in front of me, he wears thick framed glasses yet he seems rather handsome. He has pink spiky hair that sticks up in all the right places. I could swear I've never seen him before or maybe I just hadn't seen him because I avoided glancing around at anyone. "Yes thank you, I'm fine" I force a weak smile.

"Yo! Natsu why're you with that loser?" The group of 'popular' boys look at me disgusted. So Natsu's his name, at least he tried to talk to me.

Expecting him to be gone I look up. To my surprise he stands there stalling. "Aren't you gonna go to your friends? You probably don't want to be talking to me" before he can answer the bell goes and I dart out the classroom.

I run through the halls to quickly get home. I hear a few comments like "look at that weirdo run, ew" and " oh my gosh look at that loser go" Tears stream down my face. At this point I'm kind of glad that I don't have any parents at home, at least they don't have to deal with me doing this to myself. I speedily unlock the door and run up to my bedroom to reach underneath the pillow. I take out a blade and dash my skin on my arm to add to my collection, wanting life to disappear for now.   Automatically a weight from my heart is lifted. I fall asleep. Tears dry alongside my face.

Somehow I face myself unwanting to get up. I've got to try again, I will attempt to change myself. I will be a better person. Wait. Who am I kidding I've said this to myself every morning. Has it happened? No.

Anyway I drag myself towards the wardrobe and put on another long sleeved t-shirt then I find out my favourite skirt and change. I make the biggest mistake of my life and look in the mirror. I can see what people mean about me. Yet I still somehow carry on with my routine

I skip breakfast and make my way to school. I place my earphones in my ears and watch as the world is silenced out while I pace towards my idea of hell.

Once again I feel like everyone's staring at me as I enter the classroom. I settle down into my chair and stare out through the window. At least the view's nice. A familiar face reflects in the window. "Hello, Natsu is it?"
"Oh hi, sorry, I was just wondering if I could have your number Lucy?" I look up in surprise.
"Umm why?" What's if he's just like them, they could send me horrible messages. " I was just gonna you know, text you, actually I was gonna ask you if you'd like to meet after school but I guess I've already said it haha" he seems to be nervous but at the same time agitated. He keeps running his hand through his hair and looking round to see if anyone's watching him. "It's probably not the best idea to talk to me you know, they'll treat you like they do with me, sorry but I'm going to have to pass, plus I'm not exactly perfect, I'm pretty sure that there's plenty of other girls who like you" As if on queue a group of girls turn towards him then turn back and giggle. He blushes and walks away embarrassed, he's probably not used to being turned down.

Once again I sit facing the window, keeping quiet. The school day paces by.

As I walk towards the gate a pinkette stares at me. I face away. A hand reaches out to grab my arm. "Wait Lucy can I please talk to you?" No other boys are in sight. I sigh "sure" before starting to walk ahead signalling him to follow me. I follow him as ordered.

He looks at me sternly "Why do you let others treat you badly" he grips my arm. I try to hide it but I screech out in pain. Immediately alarmed he attempts to pull up my sleeve. I try and tug my arm away from him but he manages to pull up my sleeve. He stares down at my arm, examining what I've done to myself "Luce, why're you doing this to yourself?"

"What does it matter to you?!"
