YES! After like 25 chapters, I'm happy to tell you that Lisanna will no longer be evil. Well, she wasn't evil in the first place... I-I mean...she was, but... JUST READ THE CHAPTER!

Wendy's POV:

"Ooh~ my head," I said as I caressed forehead. I slowly opened my eyes to find my mom on the left side of the bed and the red-headed man to the right. Natsu and Lucy were in front of me.

"Oh, thank the stars. Are you alright, Wendy? You fainted when you were on the stairs," Mom said.

"Wait, if I was on the stairs...who caught me?" I asked. Everyone looked at the red-headed man.

"Thank you, mister!" I smiled. He gave me a downhearted smile and pat my head gently.

"Please, call me-"

"Igneel," Mom said. I was confused as to why Mom wouldn't let Igneed speak, but at least I knew his name.

"I hope you don't mind, but Natsu and I invited Romeo to come over," Lucy said.

"You did WHAT?!" To keep me quiet, Mom tried to shush me and Lucy looked taken back from my reaction.

"Well, Romeo deserves to know," Natsu said. I shook my head.

"H-He doesn't need to know," I stuttered.

"Romeo is your best friend. I think it's fair that he should know," Mom said.

"Who's Romeo? Are you Juliet?" Igneel asked me. I sweat dropped.

"Didn't I tell you? My name is Wendy. Romeo is my...friend," I said. He crossed his arms and looked at me seriously.

"How old are you, Wendy?" He asked.

"I'm thirteen. I'm a freshman in high school, even though I'm supposed to be in 8th grade," I answered. He gave me a nod.

"Interesting..."

"SORRY, I'M LATE!" Romeo exclaimed as he went through the door. I blushed in an instant.

"We'll leave you two alone," Mom said as she tried to hold in her laughter.

"Wha- no! Don't leave me!" I exclaimed. It was too late. Everyone left the room and it was just Romeo and me...in a room...alone...together...

"What was that all about?" Romeo asked. I shrugged my shoulders and hid beneath the blankets. I could feel his footsteps coming closer and closer. I only pray he doesn't yank the blankets away. Sadly, he did.

"H-Hey, give it back," I said as I tried to get the blankets back. He looked at my bandaged head and caressed it softly. My heart started to beat faster.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked with a glum expression. I started to feel guilty by what he said.

"I-I didn't want you to worry about me..." I answered. Romeo rolled his eyes.

"Baka, of course I would worry about you. You know, I really care about you," he said. I blushed at his response. Romeo started to sit next to me on the bed.

"W-What are you doing?"

"If it wasn't obvious already, I'm sitting next to you," he said as he snuggled closer to me. It didn't make me feel uncomfortable. Somehow, it made me feel safe.

"Arigatou, Romeo-kun," I said as I placed my head on his shoulders. I suddenly found myself the urge to go to sleep. I closed my eyes and let the darkness welcome me. I could feel Romeo's hand stroking my hair. His touches were so pleasant. I began to lose consciousness and drifted off into deep slumber. Romeo smiled.

"Why's it so hard for you to understand that I'm in love with you?" Romeo said softly. However, I was fast asleep to even hear it.

Lucy's POV:

"What do you think they're doing inside?" I asked Natsu. He gave me a back hug and placed his head on my right shoulder.

"Let them be," he whispered to me. His voice sent shivers down my back.

"Umm...excuse me?" A familiar voice said. I looked to the side of me and saw Lisanna in her casual attire.

"Hey, Lisanna!" Natsu exclaimed. She gave him a small smile.

"Can I talk to Lucy for a bit?" She asked. Natsu gave her a confused look.

"Uh, sure. Can you give us like a minute, please?" Natsu asked. She nodded her head and gave us some privacy. Natsu looked at me in the eye.

"What's wrong?" I asked. He didn't answer, but planted a soft kiss on my forehead instead. My cheeks began to turn red and my heart began to race.

"Just be careful, ok? The last time we talked about Lisanna, you seamed a little uneasy," he said protectively. I gave him a nod and walked over to where Lisanna was. I was still dumbfounded by what just happened earlier. Lisanna looked towards my direction and bowed her head in front of me.

"I-I'm sorry," she said as tears threaten to fall from her pale face.

"Huh? Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong."

"Yes, I did. Don't act like you don't know. Ever since I joined the cheerleading squad, I've been nothing, but mean to you. You were my best friend and I turned into a cruel person. I'm not apologizing for the time I kicked you and made you unconscious. I'm apologizing for everything that I've done to you. No, for everything I did that was considered wrong. For that, I'm truly sorry," she said as she started to cry. A part of me wanted to yell at her for how long it took for her to finally realize how mean she was, but I'm not that type of person. I simply walked over to her and gave her a tight hug.

"Daijoubu, Lisanna. I'm sorry too," I cooed. She stopped crying and sniffled.

"For what?"

"For not trying to fight for you. I was scared to try and become your friend again. I don't understand though. Why did you become so mean all of a sudden?" I asked.

"It's a long story, but I never intended to be mean to you. I guess you could say that I was tricked. Anyways, I was so happy that I joined the squad and I started eating lunch with the other members instead of you. I was about to go greet you and everything, but the girls were talking about all the horrible things you did to them. They said that you stole their makeup bag and peaked at their answers during tests. I know you don't seem like the type of person to steal and cheat from anyone, but I wanted to fit in. That's when I started to act like a b!tch towards you," she explained. I gave her a genuine smile.

"It's not your fault you were caught in the mess," I said.

"I know, but I was about to do some horrible things to you. Please don't be mad, but I was about to ruin your relationship with Natsu. I saw you guys hugging at the garden and I couldn't help, but be mad. I wanted to tell Natsu not to trust you, but I couldn't. When Natsu and I were dating, it wasn't anything serious. I really liked him, but we weren't in love. When I saw you with him, he was so happy. I was jealous, because I couldn't make him smile like that. I bet he told you that I broke up with him. Well, I did. My friends told me that you were the one who hung out with Natsu during the weekend. That's when I knew, I had to break up with him. I didn't want to, but I knew he would be unhappy if he was still with me," she said. I listened to her whole story. It all made sense.

"I wasn't trying to get in your way, Lisanna. Natsu wasn't interested in me. He still isn't interested in me."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that. Don't think I didn't see you guys hugging when I was here," Lisanna countered. I felt my face heat up.

"I-It was nothing," I lied. She started to laugh.

"When you asked me to leave, I could hear you and Natsu kissing," Lisanna smirked.

"N-NO WE WEREN'T!" I exclaimed. Everyone in the room started to shush me. I blushed due to embarrassment.

"So, he did kiss you? I knew it!" Lisanna cheered. I gave her a weird expression.

"I thought you didn't want Natsu and me together?"

"Well, that was the past, but this is now," she said. I couldn't help, but laugh. I'm glad that the whole friend situation was fixed. I missed my old best friend.

"So...are we still friends?" I hesitantly asked.

"Of course we are!" Lisanna exclaimed. We both shared a bone-crushing hug. Out of nowhere, a pair of arms were hugging us as well. I remembered the warm sensation the arms brought me. It was Natsu's.

"I don't know why we're hugging, but I love hugs!" he said with his wide, toothy grin.

This might be one of the greatest days I've ever had...

~~~

Minna...I need to pour my feelings out of my chest. It's really heavy. I'm going to write down every single word that comes out of my mind. Don't mind me...

I'm giving up on Senpai...

He'll never notice me...

I'll start looking for someone else...

I hope they're better than him...

Maybe not...

Of all people...

I chose him...

He didn't return my feelings...

But, I didn't give up...

However, it didn't last...

I'm in a confusing state...

My brain keeps telling me to fight for Senpai...

But, my heart...

My heart keeps telling me to find someone better...

Senpai...

I wish you could notice me...

But, I know you never will...

After all...

You...

Like someone else...

Right...?

Then, this will be my last and final message to you...

Goodbye... Senpai...
