"Turn to chapter eighteen in your books and start reading, I'll be right back." Ms. Smith left the class leaving us to do this book work she knows no one will do. The class started chattering about how their day was, life outside of school, and other things teenagers talk about.

I looked out the window, remembering about what happened last night. I sighed. I probably should have skipped school today to watch over my mom. She was really shaken up last night. That was probably her worst episode yet.

Ms. Smith walked in with a wide grin across her face. What is she so happy about? Did she finally get that stick out her ass? I know, I know it's not a nice thing to say, but sheesh! She's always so uptight about everything and just plain mean for no reason.

"OK class we have a new student! He just came from the private school Fairy tail academy."

Whoa! Rich kid alert. That school is for the best of the best, not just anyone can get in.

"Everyone give a hand to Natsu Dragneel." The class gave the weakest clap ever.

Dragneel? I feel like I've heard that name before, but I'm too bored to remember. I stared outside to watch the rain fall on the pavement outside. Once again it was raining, but not as hard as yesterday, just little sprinkles.

"Wow, tough crowd." His voice was deep, husky, smooth and had a little accent.

I could hear the waterfalls flowing in the classroom. I heard some of the girls squealing and saying how handsome he is. Well, I guess If he looks this good I have to have a little look at him.

I turned my head to get a good look at him and my mouth fell open. He was gorgeous of course, but what really caught my attention was his hair.

It was on color.

I found them.

I rubbed my eyes to make sure they weren't playing a trick on me. But this was all too real. I stared at him until he sat in his chair in the front. It was a good thing that he sat in the front because I wanted to stare at his hair a little longer.

I couldn't take my eyes off of him. The color of his hair sent me into a high. Is what it feels like to see color? If it is, I don't want it to end.

"Close your mouth Heartfilia, we don't want to get flies in there from staring at the new boy, don't we?" The queen bee said.

Oh how much I want to punch her. But I can't. I don't have the guts to do something that outrageous.

The new boy turned around while the rest of the class was laughing at my stupidity. Why did I stare too long?!

"I'm sorry." I hid myself under my hoodie and starting cursing at myself how stupid I am.

I heard him start to chuckle. Oh gosh, I'm such a loser!

Lunch time rolled around and I found myself heading to the library with nothing to eat because I have no money. My mom forgot to put money in my account, again.

My stomach was growling all down the hallway. Anything sounded good to eat right now, even plankton's holographic meatloaf sounded good.

"Thanks for showing me around I think I got it from here." I know that voice...

"No problem, you know where to find me if you have any questions." I know that voice too, but they're not important.

I turned around and saw the same boy from earlier.

The one with the pretty hair.

Oh great, I already forgot his name.

I hid behind the trashcan in front of the library and watched the boy look around the school.

I look like a creepy stalker right now... but I can't help it. I have to know why I'm only able to see color on him. Why is it only him?

Maybe it's someone trying to send me a message?

What if it's destiny to meet this guy?

So many questions, very little answers.

I saw him heading into another hallway. I sped walk to where he was and hid behind the corner and eyed him looking at the portraits.

Maybe he's into art?

"Hey Natsu!"

Oh gosh, not her!

"Hey." He waved in her direction and gave her a heart melting smile that almost made me faint. I'm not easily impressed, but wow his smile.

"I was wondering if you wanted to sit with us at lunch, you know, me and my friends?" Look at her trying to deceive his poor soul.

"Sure, just give me a minute to look at these paintings."

"Oh so you're a art guy?" She asked.

"Yeah, I love it. Painting is one of my passions."

"Oh really? I love painting too."

"Wow really? Who's you're favorite artist?"

"Oh umm, they're all my favorite." She laughed nervously, hoping he would buy it. I could laugh at her stupidity right now, but that would mean getting caught.

"Right..." He turned his attention back to the paintings, observing them.

She rushed out with one of her minions following behind her, "Ash, make an appointment for an art class tommorow. I looked like a damn fool in front of him."

"Already done." Her minion said, typing on phone.

I went further behind the corner hoping that they wouldn't see me when they walked by. They went left without looking in my direction.

I went inside the hallway a little making sure they definitely didn't see me. But that also meant exposing myself to this Natsu person.

I guess I made too much noise because he turned my way, a little startled.

His face relaxed, "Oh hey."

I was silent. Was I supposed to say something? I'm not really used to students talking to me unless it's to make fun of me.

I just stood there motionless. Getting a few stares from him.

Come on idiot, do something! Don't just stand there like a moron!

"Oh, H-Hi." I waved.

Progress!

He smiled, "did you come here to see the paintings too?"

"Oh umm, not really." Dumb move Lucy.

"Oh, ok?" He looked at me confused for a few seconds, but later turned his head back to the paintings. He probably thinks I'm a weirdo or something!

"Oh wait you mean these paintings? I thought you were talking about the ones over there, I mean-"

"It's ok." He chuckled, "Would you like to join me?"

"Oh, sure," I whispered, slouching my shoulders. I'm suprised he offered me to look at the paintings with him.

He's really nice. Probably after a couple of days hanging out with those girls and other students he'll probably consider me a freak just like the rest of them.

Ugh! What am I doing?! You have to think more positive Lucy! You'll never get anywhere with that attitude.

He scooted over offering a space beside him, which I nervously took.

We stared at the painting, for a good minute. He looked mesmerized by the painting, while I only see the usual black and white.

"Beautiful isn't it?"

"I guess."

"What do you mean you guess? Can't you see these beautiful brushstokes, the details with the characters and most importantly how amazing the artist did with balancing the colors."

"Oh right." I whispered.

"Sorry, I guess I let my artistic side get the best of me."

You guess?

He rubbed the back of his neck and put his other hand out, "the names Natsu."

I hesitated grabbing his hand, "Lucy."

"Beautiful name."

I'm screaming internally. An uncontrollable heat rushed to my cheeks. What is happening?!

"Oh, thank you."

"No problem." He continued to stare at the paintings while I sat there looking like a lost puppy.

Maybe I should start a conversation?

"Umm-" Before I could speak he inturrupted me.

"Oh Sorry, I have to get going, these girls want me to have lunch with them, crazy right? I just got here and people are already inviting me to do stuff."

"Yeah, crazy..."

"I guess I'll see you in class."

"How do you know we're in the same class?"

"I saw you today in our first period. You're that girl who couldn't resist staring at my beauty right?" He teased.

I smacked my forehead, "yeah that was me, I'm sorry, that was so embarrassing."

"Hey no worries, just promise me that we'll get to talk again."

"You want to talk to me? Again?"

"Of course, you seem interesting, I like that."

"Oh, thanks. I guess?"

"So promise?"

I smiled, "Promise."

"Well nice to meet you, Lucy." He ran out the hallway and started running toward the wrong direction.

I know he's new, but wow, the cafeteria is just right there around the corner.

"To your left!" I yelled.

I heard his foot steps running back towards me, "thank you!" He yelled.

I giggled. What an interesting guy.
