Frozen Stars

Chapter 4

Lucy P.O.V

I sighed for the hundredth time today, watching Natsu try to start a fight with Grey. This seemed to be something that just always happened with them. It's last period and I so happened to have Grey in all three. I nuzzled my face into my jacket sleeve and let my eyes close, ignoring everyone around me.

So far, the teachers haven't been that bad, but the students who miss behave kind of ruin it. I watched as Natsu grabbed Grey by his shoulder, the teacher did not seem to care in the slightest. Grey then smacked his hand off him, saying something that made Natsu grow red in the face. I watched a little longer before I realized I had started looking at Grey, I huffed and turned my head away from him before he could catch me.

I decided that I no longer wanted my hair up, so I sat up, pulling the band out of my hair before wrapping it around my wrist. I ran my hand through my hair and let out a breath of satisfaction when I didn't have any tangles. I pulled myself out of my trance and looked around the room again. There were a few males just staring at me with an unreadable expression.

I felt my face heat up from all their eyes on me, my eyes again, found Grey and he wasn't paying attention, then suddenly he seemed to notice that some of the males were looking in one direction. He then turned his attention to me, I turned my head away and just stared out the window, me knowing full well that my cheeks were dusted over with a light red.

Scrounging up the confidence I looked back at them and they were still staring. I looked at the clock and noticed there were only a few minutes left of class before we could go home. I started to gather my things and place them in my bag, avoiding eye contact with everyone. I then leaned my cheek into my hand and stared out the window, sinking back into my comfortable sound bubble. I closed my eyes once again and just relaxed.

"Hey, what's your name again?" I turned my head to the sudden voice. I looked up to be greeted by Natsu.

"Lucy" I answered duly, keeping my eye contact.

"Lucy what?"

"Just Lucy" The bell then rang, and I stood, pulling my bag onto my shoulder. I waved at him before walking out of the classroom.

I pulled out my phone and placed my earbuds into my ears, starting my music. I started to walk out of the building when I suddenly felt someone place their hand on my shoulder. I flinched from the cold feeling and quickly turned around.

"Grey? Did you need something?" I asked, trying to be polite. He looked down at me and placed his hand on my head.

"Wanna have lunch tomorrow?" He asked calmly.

I stared up at him for a few seconds then reached my hand up to grip his wrist, pulling it off my head.

"Sorry I'm good, I don't eat lunch" I wasn't lying, a cafeteria is a horrible place for a new student to be, no I would much rather avoid that by just going somewhere quiet and eating a granola bar.

"You don-"

I cut him off and turned back around, "Have a nice day" I said calmly.

I frowned to myself as I walked away, I don't like being mean or rude, but I don't want to make any friends. I'm fine on my own and I like it that way.

Time Skip at Home

"Princess! We are so glad you've returned, how was your day?" I turned my head to Virgo, one of the maids here, and smiled.

"It was fine Virgo," I said, starting to make my way up the steps to my room.

"But did you enjoy it?" I heard her ask, I stopped in my tracks and looked at the top of the stairs.

A small smile made its way to my face. "Yeah, I enjoyed it," I said before making my way to my room.

I opened my room, throwing my bag to the side, then flopping onto my bed.

"Ooooh bed how I love the way you make me feel!" I sang, grabbing one of my fluffy pillows, nuzzling my cheek against it. I sighed contently, the soft feeling relaxing me. I let my eyes travel to a frame on my side table, my mother's shining smile in the center of it. I stared for a few minutes before letting my eyes fall closed. I hummed quietly to myself, remembering the song she would sing to me.

I felt myself pout when my pillow started to become warm, why can't everything be ice cold. I thought about the idea of that for a bit then realized we wouldn't have hot chocolate, so I guess it wasn't too bad.

I opened my eyes and suddenly remembered the feeling of Grey's hand on my shoulder, even though I was wearing a hoodie, I still felt the cold. I flipped my pillow over and snuggled into the cold feeling, and slowly started to drift off.

Time Skip to Dinner

"Princess, Dinner is re-" I groaned as I tiredly sat up, rubbing the tired out of my eyes.

"Virgo why~" I whined to her, trying my hardest to roll out of bed.

"Miss, you've been doing a lot of sleeping lately, are you depressed?" She asked me like it was a causal question.

I sweatdropped and turned my attention to her, "Virgo you don't just ask that!" I scolded her.

"But one of the signs of depression is sleeping very often, is it not my job to worry about your health?" She asked. I got up and made my way over to her, placing both of my hands gently on her shoulders, I shook her.

"I Am Not Depressed!" I said with every sway of her body. I stopped and watched her regain her balance, then nod.

"If you say so, well come down for dinner, your father-"

"Father won't be joining us, I know," I said smiling sadly. I walked down and Virgo stayed in my room, probably to fix my bed. I made it down and sat at the table, alone, and ate my Mac&Cheese. I love Mac&Cheese, but they were always bittersweet when I ate them alone. I didn't really like eating alone, that's probably another reason why I didn't want to eat in the cafeteria when I arrived at school.

"But he did offer, so if I would have said yes, I wouldn't have had to eat alone" I shoved another bite of food in my mouth and continued my thought after swallowing.

"But I also don't want to make friends and eating lunch with someone practically screams friendship" I guess I dodged a bullet then.

I continued to eat, now being reminded of the song Bullet, so I started humming it. Once I finished, I stood, taking my plate to the sink. I started washing it and felt myself holding back a sigh. I'm so happy I'll be able to go to school tomorrow, and not have to be trapped in this house.
