Lucy's POV

~Timeskip~ the day before the Foundation Day

  "Put that here." I ordered my boy classmates who were assigned on moving the table. They nodded before lifting the table all the way to the assigned place.

  As what we have decided, we organized a MatchMaking Booth. After some few arrangements, our classroom now looks like a mini restaurant. Around 15 small round tables are neatly placed and shattered on the room, a pink cloth covering each one. Of course, there's an estimated distance from each table to assure privacy for each couple.

  The chairs were covered in sky blue cloth. Each table has a bouquet of multi-colored flowers. Windows covered in light red curtains. All in all, it looks perfect.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

  "I think we're done here, Lucy." Erza said. We are the only ones left here since we wanted to make sure that everything's perfect for tomorrow.

  "Yup. Everything's perfect and in place." I said, agreeing with her.

  "Well, i think that we should go home already. It's already pitch black outside." Erza adviced, putting on her red hoody which she had brought with her earlier today.

  I glanced at my wrist watch and saw that it was already 6:30 pm. Oh shoot! I'm so dead! Daddy and Luke will kill me!

  "I never realized that it's so late. Why now when our driver is on vacation leave?" I said while sighing n frustration. I combed my slightly tangled golden locks with my fingers as i thought of possible excuses to keep me safe from the long sermons.

  "Do you want me to walk you home since its dangerous outside?" she offered kindly which made me look at her shyly.

  "Don't bother. We have opposite ways. I'll be alright." I assured her while smiling confidently.

  "Ok, just give me a call once you arrived home. Bye." Erza said while walking away, waving at me in the process.

  "Ok!" I shouted at back at her as i watched her silhouette disappear in the dark. She's so thoughtful.

  I made my way out of school grounds and hurriedly walked home. Since our house was not that far from school, i decided to walk. Unfortunately, it was unknown to me that i was being followed by 3 drunked gangsters. They took the chance once i reached an empty park.

  "Hey, miss. Wanna hang out with us?" Said one of those drunked gangsters. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me closed to them. I tried to pull away but he was strong. He leaned closer, enough for me to smell the stink of alcohol lingering on his mouth. YUCK.

  "Let me go!" I yelled at them. But he just tightened his grip on me even more. I flinched on his touch while biting my tongue slightly to prevent myself from screaming nor yelping in pain. I refuse to give these drunkards the satisfaction of seeing me in pain.

  "Oh come on. Let's just play for a little while." Said another one who also grabbed my other wrist. I struggled on their holds but to no avail.

  "No! Let me go, Perverts!" I yelled once again. But they just smirked at me. They both let go of my wrist but the other one pinned me on a nearby wall. I tried to escape but he, like the other two, was too strong for me.

  "Not to tough now?" He said as he leaned forward. I needed to look away to prevent myself from spitting on his disgusting face. I also had a hard time to stop myself from puking because of his awful breath. His face was just mere inches from mine. And as i predicted, He attempted to kiss me.

  'Natsu! Help me!' I yelled in my mind. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the worse.

  But nothing came. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the man that pinned me, on the ground. His nose was bleeding.

  "Sorry, guys. But this is MY girl. Meaning she's off limits." Said a masculine voice. I then felt a warm arm over my shoulder. I looked at the owner of the voice with wide eyes.

  "Natsu?" I asked him in disbelief.

  "Hey, Luce. Sorry if i'm late. But don't worry. I'll beat this perverts to a pulp just to teach them to not mess with MY GIRL" he said emphasizing the word 'my girl'. I felt my face heat up but managed to smile at him.

  He gave me a kiss on the forehead and went to beat the perverts. He gave the first one a punch on the gut then gave him an uppercut. The drunkard recovered and managed to pull up a punch but Natsu just dodged it with ease before kicking him on his stomach, causing him to be out cold. Unfortunately, The second one managed to punch Natsu.

  Natsu countered with another punch and it landed on the second one's left cheek before he kicked him on the side of his stomach. Like the first one, he was out cold.

  The third one attempted to punch Natsu but he caught it with his hand. He punched him on the gut then kicked him on the face. Like the first two, he was knocked out.

  Natsu walked up to me then grabbed my wrist. He then ran causing me to ran as well.
