I was humbling happily down the hall. I had a break between lectures.

It was a beautiful sunny day, so why shouldn't I be happy? But somehow I have a feeling that my good mood is thanks to one specific person with really unique hair

I was so happy I forgot we had an exam today. It's not like I didn't study for it, but I have to prepare for it, mentally....

"Heey Lu! Are you ready for a test today? I'm so nervous!" Levy came to me, shaking and jumping around me.

"How could I forgot something like that..." I leaned dramatically on the wall.

"Oh, don't be a drama queen. You'll do fine, I know you will. You and I studied for it!" Levy tried to cheer me on.

"Yeah. I guess you're right." I smiled at her. "So let's destroy that test!" I said, raising my fists in the air.

"That's what I like to hear! Let's go!" we both went to the classroom, ready to get this over with.

_____________________________________________________________________

"Finally! I thought it would never end." I said, sighing, walking out of the classroom with Levy.

"Yeah. It lasted forever." we looked like zombies and we were not alone. Everyone who had that test was barely standing. We were mentally drained. It was so hard. But I have a feeling I did good, so I'm happy.

"I think we deserve something delicious to eat!" I said, looking at stumbled Levy beside me. With a mention of food, she lightened up and the light in her eyes came back.

"Of course! Let's go!" she stood up, took my hand and we ran to our favorite place - Dragon Slayer Pizza. They had the most delicious pizza ever! The only "bad" thing about them is that they are expensive so we rarely go there.

"I'm so happy to eat here again!" I said excitedly.

"Yeah, it was too long, but we deserve it." Levy said.

We sat in the corner and waited to be noticed by the waiter.

"How may I help you?" a rough voice said beside us. We looked up and saw a pair of red eyes. I heard Levy gasped.

It was Gajeel. Levy's crush.

He has piercing all over his face, and who knows where else. He has thick, long, black hair which looked like it wasn't brushed for a long time but it fitted his image. He was wearing a uniform and you could see it was too small for his muscles, witch Levy and I don't really mind.

The first time she came here he was singing and she thought he looked really cool, although his voice is, not even horrible.....it's just sad. From that day on, she was making excuses to pass by this pizzeria, just to see him. One day I took her inside because I, as a friend, couldn't watch anymore that sadness and despair. We went inside, ordered and fell in love. The food was so good I can't describe it. But when we got the bill, we were really surprised. We decided to go there if we want to celebrate something, and finishing a big test and having a good feeling about it was the perfect reason to go there.

"Um, I would like a vegetarian pizza with double mozzarella," Levy said.

"And I would like to have four seasons pizza, thank you," I said smiling.

"Maybe something to drink?" he asked, not even looking up from his note.

"Just two glasses of water please." I said. As he left I looked at Levy.

"Pizza with double mozzarella," I imitated her voice," I see you are ready to spend some money here," I smiled and Levy just blushed.

"It's not because of him. I'm just really happy to write this test good." She smiled happily. Her smile was contagious so I felt my lips spreading in a smile too. I understood her feelings. I was also really proud of myself. We really did good on this one.

"So," Levy looked at me, "what's his name?" she smiled.

"What's whose name?" I asked confused.

"Oh you know who I'm talking to. That guy with pink hair. Since you met him you became happier."

"You mean Natsu? Heh, you won't believe how stupid we are," I started to tell her about that day on the rain and consequences the next day.

"I knew you were sick!" Levy said, smiling a little.

"Yeah, I knew too." I told her about how we found out we didn't ask for our names, smiling all the time while remembering those moments.

"He sounds nice," Levy said, "I'm glad." she looked at me. I could see a little sadness in her eyes.

"Levy, what's wrong?" I asked, worried about my little friend.

"I'm sorry I'm not that funny or weird that I can't make you smile like he is," she looked down, ashamed.

"No, no, Levy. Don't say that. You are a great friend. You first came to talk to me, you understand my love for Korean kulture and you don't judge me for liking yaoi so much! You push me to be a better student and you make me want to be like you. So don't feel sad," I said, trying to comfort her and trying to look like I know what I'm talking about. The truth is, I have no idea how to consult someone so I'm panicking a little.

"And it's good you are not like Natsu. If we had more like him the world would explode." I said winking at her.

"That you got right." we laughed. "I want to meet him."

"You will, he will probably come sooner or later." I smiled, hoping a little he comes from somewhere.

"Thank you for saying that. I'm glad to hear that." she smiled. I wanted to say something more but the food was ready so we started to eat while talking about other, happy stuff.

____________________________________

After we paid for out food we had to say goodbye. We have to go home and study for other tests.

"Bye Lu! Good luck with studying and congrats on todays test." she went to hug me but I fabulously moved out of the way.

"You know I don't like hugging." I said acting like I'm annoyed.

"But, today is special! Let me hug you, just once!" she started to chase me around, both laughing. Then I suddenly stopped and turned around so she ran into me.

"Just this once." I said giving her an awkward hug.

"Thank you Lu," she laughed and hugged the hell out of me. She started to strengle me.

"Le-Levy....I...Breathe,"

"Oh I'm sorry!" she let go and I breathen the fresh air of pollution but at that moment it was beautiful.

We parted ways and I headed towards my bus stop. I put my headphones and turned the music on. It was Nina Simone Feeling Good. My phone knows how I'm feeling.

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

I was feeling really good. It was a beautiful day and everything seemed to sparkle. I was thinking about the thing from last few days. It was really fun.

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Somehow I had a feeling that meeting Natsu will change my life. I don't know why, but he has this energy around him that make you feel like no matter what, the sun will still rise.

I have a theory, well, not a theory in a sense of that word, but something like that.... I just confused myself.

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel

I think that everything that happens to us is meant to happen in a way that we have to learn from that to be the person who we want to be. I don't call that fate, I don't believe in that.

It's like this. You want to become a good teacher. In order to do that, you have to finish college. But while you are in a college some things may happen that isn't connected to your future career. Maybe your mother died, maybe you were bullied, maybe you had a financial problems, who knows. But you learned something from that. You learned the pain of loosing someone dear to you, you learned something about the feeling of not being accepted, you learned something about part time jobs and finances. Those things can help you to be a better teacher because you can understand children who are going throught same things.

I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say, but the point is that some unexpected things happen. We wonder why something like that happend to us, not thinking about what we could learn from it.

It's hard, I know. But isn't life all about learning?

In that sense, i think Natsu will help me in some way to overcome this thing called college. I'm really curious about him. The more happy and out going he is, the more I think there is something more to him. I want to know more about him. What did he went through?

In animes there are characters that smiles a lot but hides a really tragic story behind them. Is he like them?
There are also those who are smiling just because they are stupid. He definetly is stupid, but there has to be more to it.

What kind of Pikachu are you?

He always smiles which can mean either he has the perfect life and he is trully happy (and that is not likely because no one have a perfect life, and I mean, No One!) or he went through something he don't want anyone to know, so he hides it behind his cute smile.

And that scarf. He is always wearing it. I mean, it was cold this days, but i think there is something more to this. I want to help him.

My head started to hurt from overthinking.

Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga
Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga
Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga
Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga

"Hell yeah! My jam!" I said, totally forgeting about my deep thinking. I waited my bus, singing.

I I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me

When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

The bus came and I went home with a smile on my face, and my jam in heart.

_________________________________

The next few days were really hard. I had so much stuff to study and so little motivation. I wanted to learn and get a good grade, but I couldn't make myself do it. I could, but after I slaped myself a few times and after I screamed at myself to work.

It was really hard.....I don't like that part of me. I have to really scream at myself to do things and sometimes I wouldn't do anything.

*sigh* I was so tired. From studying, from begging myself to study and from college

Do I really want this?

I shook my head. I'm thinking like that because I'm tired. Don't give up just yet, you got this!

I made a fist in front of me with a really determined face. Then I felt something press on top of my head.

"You're really weird, you know that." Natsu.

"I bet you are weirder than me." I turned around, expecting to see him....but there was nothing.

"Am I crazy?" I though out loud. But I still feel a preasure on my head...

"No Luce, you're just weird." I heard him laughing. Then I figured what was going on.

"And what do you think you're doing?" I asked.

"Hehe, resting?" he put his head on mine. His chin was resting on top of my head and that's why I felt presure but didn't see him.
I quickly turned around not expecting to bump into his chest. I felt him smile then he hugged me.

"Wha-?" I was suprised that I couldn't even move.

"This is nice." he wispered, still resting his head on top of mine.

"Stop it." I somehow managed to get free from the hug. "Me, hugging, no no." I said, stepping away from Natsu. He looked sad.

"But Luce! That felt nice!" he reached his hands toward me in atempt to hug me but I moved.

"No means no! I don't like hugging!" I said, running from him while he chased me with a look of a sad baby.

This remind me of something...

"What are you doing!" I heard a cute voice, then I felt two small arms hugging my waist.

"Levy?" I asked suprised and confused.

"Why do you want to hug her?! She is mine!" Levy said at Natsu. He looked at her, than at me.

"I want to do that!" he sounded like a baby. He started to reach for us but Levy slaped his hands.

"Owee! That hurts!" he said rubbing his hands.

"That's what you get for being a pervert!" Levy said looking angry. "Don't worry Lu, I will protect you!" she said with a serious face. I couldn't take it anymore. I started to laugh so hard. They both looke at me.

"So that's why she doesn't like hugging. She became crazy because of it." Natsu said looking like he was making a mental note.

"It's just so funny!" I said trying to cach my breath. "This situation is so awesomely stupid." I removed myself from Levys hug.

"Thank you Levy for saving me." then I cracked again and started to laugh.

"Levy, meet the pervert, Natsu. Natsu meet my friend, Levy." i said

"Best friend, Levy." she said, point out the word best.

"Sexy friend, Natsu." he pointed out the word sexy. He looked really proud of his comeback. They shook hands.

"So, now that you two met, what now?" I looked at both of them. They didn't know what to say.

"Why did you talk to me Natsu? You wanted something or?" I asked him.

"Luce, that is harsh! I saw you and wanted to talk to you. I didn't plan any further than that." I facepalmed myself and I saw Levy looking like she's not believing her ears.

"So it really is true when you said he is special." Levy wispered to me. I just smiled and nodded.

"So, want to go to arcade?" Levy asked breaking the silence.

"Hell yeah! I will all beat you!!" Natsu said excitedly.

I was also for it because I never been there.

"Then it's decided, we are going to the arcades!" Levy said pointing at the exit of college. We went out and......

"Does anyone know where that is?" Levy asked.

"How come you don't know where it is?!" I asked her

"I don't know! I have never been in one here." Levy said shyly.

"Then how about we go to your place and you make us something to eat?" I said.

"Food!! I'm in!" Natsu said, jumping around excitedly.

"Then, I guess it is my place." Levy sighned, "Let's go."
