~Natsu's POV~

I was at school late, again. No one decided to wake me after I slept through my alarm. Now, I gotta stay after school and help out the Liberian put some books on the shelves. This sucks....
I sat in class and boi was it boring!
I'm stuck in math learning shit that I will NEVER use when I graduate. Why can't we learn just the important things like taxes, business, stuff that'll be useful and I'll keep with me for life.
I let out a small irritated sigh, Gray must've heard it since he let that stupid grin crawl on that dumb face of his. I glared over at him and let out a low growl.
I swear, one of these days I'm gonna punch him in the teeth.
But honestly, at least Gray interacts with me even if it's by fists.
Lucy doesn't really interact at all, unless someone else starts the interaction. Looking and talking to her is a bit frustrating, she's changed so much, I want the old Lucy back. The one who clung to me and I clung to her. We held no secrets to each other and we're the bestest of friends, and she became someone I wanted to see everyday and I thought about her constantly. Even after she moved I thought about her even if a little, I would remember how she used to look.
Now that I see her again, everything's hidden and held in. We don't speak that much, yesterday I was only lucky for her to accept me there.

~Nobody's POV~

Classes were the same as Natsu walked out of his sessions each time the bell rang for a dismissal. He stopped during lunch period, the halls roads and loud as ever.
He sighed before lifting his head again and walking past all the students that jumped their way to the cafeteria.

" McGarden-"the bluenette, Levy gave Lucy a sharp look." I-I mean, uh... L-Levy! "she corrected.
" Good girl, you get a treat. "Levy lifted up cookie." Who wants a cookie~? Do you want a cookie~? "
" Stop treating me like some puppy. "Lucy crossed her arms with a sour look.
" Come on, I know you want the cookie~"Levy shoved the cookie through Lucy's lips.

" Lucy Heartfillia, please come down to the main office. Lucy Heartfillia, please come down to the main office. "

Lucy looked up to the announcer box.
" Seems like you're needed, Lu. "Levy stated.
" mm-hm... "Lucy hummed through the cookie.
" Alright, go! I'll see ya later. "Levy waved. Lucy nodded and made her way through the crowded hall. Her feet bringing her to the front office, as soon as she walked in she was confronted by a certain orange headed man.
" L-Loki-? "
" Lucy... "he looked at her and then looked around." Come here for a second, Aries' isn't here so we can talk in the nurses office. "
Lucy nodded, though a bit skeptical of his secretive actions and stiff motions. He opened the door, letting her walk into the dim room first as he shut the door behind him.
" Loki, what is it you need? "she asked.
" Jude, he's back at the mansion today. "he informed bluntly.
" Wh-What? He wasn't suppose to be back yet! "
" You're time is up, Lucy. I said until Jude returned, and him being early doesn't change a thing. "
" Loki-"
" By the way, last night. What were you doing? "
Lucy looked curiously up at him, questioning what he meant. Loki glared through her with an irritated expression.
" Don't play this dumb charade! "he raised his voice, grabbing her wrist, making her wince in pain. He rolled down her sleeve and looked at her underarm to see red, swollen lines gathered at her wrist." I told you, next time you cut yourself I won't be so kind as I was the last time you intentionally harmed yourself. "
" Stop it, Loki. I don't want or am obligated to tell them anything. "she yanked her wrists from him." I'm not saying a thing, and nor should you. It's my business to take care of and not yours! "
" You've made it my business. "he stepped closer making her back up. She pressed her back against the wall near Aries plain desk. As he grabbed her arms in anger" I'm supposed to look after you, but you've been making that really difficult lately. "
She stared up at his as her eyes shook in fear. He was scaring her with his aggressiveness.
" They're your friends, the ones you grew up with. They need to know what happened... Why you changed so drastically. What keeps happening to you at the mansion. Your scars-"
" Loki... Stop-"
" Why can't you understand I'm trying to help you!? "he tightened his grip.
" Loki! "The butler turned his head seeing Capricorn standing there with a scared Aries behind him, peering from the side." Have you not noticed that she's on the verge of having another one of those attacks if you continue with your reckless behavior? You're scaring her. She doesn't even have her inhaler with her. "
Loki let go of Lucy's shoulders, fixing his glasses. He turned and stomped out, a frown pasted to his lips.
" I'm sorry, I heard him yelling and went to get Capricorn. "Aries apologized as always." I'm sorry! "
Lucy replied in silence, still in a bit of shock.
" Loki's right Lucy, you should tell your friends what happened. But that's your choice to tell them. "Capricorn stated.
" Thank you, Capricorn. "Lucy nodded, gathering herself together.
