Let Me Love You

Natsu

      After we arrived at the school I hung out with some of the guys before the bell. The girls were who knows where.

     Once the bell rang, I pretty much ran to class. It's not as if I was anxious to see Lucy, I was just anxious to..... learn?

     As I went through the doorway I expected to have been the first student in the class, but I definitely wasn't. Everyone was sitting in their seats and the teacher was speaking. I guess that was the tardy bell that rang, not the next period bell. There are like hundreds of bells, so I should I be able to tell them apart?

     I went straight to my seat and sat my stuff down. Lucy glanced at me and lightly smirked. I looked at her trying to see her bruise that was on her cheek but it was no longer there. I'm no doctor, but I know that a bruise can't disppear so quickly.

     I leaned over towards Luce. "Lucy?" I whispered trying not to catch the teacher's attention. She turned to me with an eyebrow raised. "What?" She softly answered.

     "What happened to your bruise?" She pursed her lips. "I already told you." "No, I mean it's gone."

     She turned away and gently stroked her check. "Oh, yea... Lisanna let me wear some of her concealer to cover it up."

     She didn't look back at me, so I was about to speak to her again. "Luce-"

     "Natsu Dragneel! If you have time to talk during class than you have time to go to detention after school." I looked at the teacher in a bit of surprise. Detention? Crap. Just plain crap.

    "But I have to ride the bus home!" I debated. "You should have thought of that earlier." I growled balling my fists. Igneel and Grandine already got on to me last time I had detention, they were the one's who had to pick me up.

     The teacher just continued on as if nothing serious happened. I felt like Lucy was looking at me, so I turned to look at her. She had an expression of sympathy.
