Frozen Stars

Chapter 6

Lucy P.O.V

When Cana left I could quickly feel myself starting to drift off, the bell's ringing was the only thing that kept me from falling asleep. Soon I could hear footsteps coming my way and hid my face in my knees, not knowing if it were girls in the class or Cana. My shoulders tensed when I heard the doors to the lockers pushed open roughly.

"Lucy! I brought someone" I sighed in relief hearing Cana's voice, turning my head in her direction, she held out a hand for me which I accepted. She pulled me to my feet, her arms wrapping around my back and the other holding my arm over her shoulders. I stumbled a bit to the door but when we pushed them open I saw Grey turned away, hands in his pockets. 

"Grey support her other side" He looked at us both and once our eyes met he seemed a bit surprised. Quickly getting rid of the expression he walked over and pulled me out of Cana's hold gently. Bending down he wrapped his arm under my legs and held me against his chest, his other arm supporting my back.

"You asked me to carry her," He said bluntly. I could feel my cheeks heat up as I started to relax against him, even threw his black shirt I could feel his cold body. They started walking to the nurse's office, groups of girls walking past us to the locker rooms. My mind started to pull me into a deep sleep, so I snuggled closer to the source of the cold feeling and let it take me.

Third P.O.V

The two students with Lucy in tow made their way to the nurse's office, not saying a word after the girl had fallen asleep. Once they arrived the lady immediately asked what had happened to her. Grey not knowing himself stayed silent, making sure to not disturb Lucy's sleep. He glanced down curiously at her sleeping figure and tightened his hold on her only slightly, telling himself it was to make sure she didn't fall.

"She got worked up and started crying then felt very winded and tired" Cana explained calmly, swiping a strand of hair out of her face. 

"Well just leave her here, I'm sure you have a 'Band Practice' you are missing out on young man" The old woman met eyes with Grey, giving him a knowing look. The tension between the two grew rather quickly, Cana's confused expression became clear to both when a minute of staring had passed.

The Nurse cleared her throat and place a hand on the medical bed, gently patting it with her delicate hand. "Place her here now, and runoff, I'll check her when she wakes up then send her off, she will be there soon " She reassured Cana.

After placing her down on the bed Grey had started to make his way out of the room, Cana following close behind. 

"Thank you ma'am" Cana spoke softly as to not wake Lucy. 

"No problem, now get to class" With that Cana closed the door. She turned expecting to see Grey behind her but he wasn't there. 

Looking up and down the hallway she noticed his figure turning the corner, hands shoved in pockets. Letting out a huff she mumbled about his rudeness under her breath then started walking to class to wait for Lucy.

Lucy P.O.V

I was suddenly pulled from my dream when I heard a bang, like something falling to the floor. I quickly sat up, eyes darting around the room in a slight panic to find out what made that damn sound. Turning my head to the corner of the room I saw the nurse frozen, a cup of water had crashed to the group leaving a puddle in its wake. She then slowly turned over her shoulder, her cheeks heated slightly in embarrassment. 

"A-Ahh...sorry" A small smile made its way to my face as I watched her clumsily pick up other items that had fallen.

Without warning my body suddenly was hit with a wave of nausea, the weight of my head quickly became greater as I leaned over in discomfort. The nurse had seen this and moved to grab something from one of the cabinets, not even a second later there is a silver bowl in my lap. 

"It's ok just breathe...shhh" I stared at my wonky reflection's pained face in the rather large bowl before I gagged harshly. How could someone throw up if there is nothing in their stomach? After a few more moments of this, I felt the womans gentle hand rubbing circles on my back. The feeling of her frail fingers was like magic, soothing my pain with every light caress.

"That's it, you are very malnourished, your body had been running on adrenaline so when you started crying you were losing moisture and when you got worked up your heart was working faster then it wanted to" Her delicate voice explained, her hand never leaving my back.

"Oh, I guess I should have had breakfast this morning...that was my mistake" Sighing a bit, I attempted to sit up, my mind prepared to lean down again if my body decided to have another gagging session. 

"I was looking for the blueberry muffins the school provides the nurses when I accidentally bumped into the medical cart, sorry about that sweety" I smiled at her weakly and shook my head. Instead of telling her, it was ok I patted her shoulder lightly. She nodded and returned my smile before standing and standing to continue her search. 

"What is your name ma'am?" 

"Call me Grandeeney, and you are Lucy Heartfilia correct?" Shrinking into myself I slowly nodded. 

"And you don't want people to know this correct?" Surprised at how that was her conclusion, she pulled a pen out of her coat and tapped it against her temple.

"Teachers talk Miss Heartfilia, you called the school a week before classes started and asked if your teachers would not use your last name for anything, but just your first name" Grandeeney sure seems like one of those all-knowing staff members. The knowing smirk that was paced on her face made me feel like she knew all my darkest secrets, in a way it was unsettling but at the same time cool.

I turned my head away from her to look around the room for the time, one I found the clock I realized I was only 10 minutes late for class, which could be worse. 

"Aha! Found it" Jumping from her sudden volume I turned my head to see her with a muffin in her hand. 

"Why did you need to find that?" I questioned, a giggle tucked in the back of my throat.

"For you. I prescribe one muffin, and I'm going to write you a late slip with a note saying you are not allowed to participate in the PE activities until its all finished" Wow, I can feel Virgo's satisfaction.

"Alright, whatever you say Grandeeney"
