Here's Lucy's POV with Natsu's cute picture XD

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucy's POV

"Morning mom, morning dad." I lazily greeted them.

"Oh, it's a miracle for you to wake up this early..." Mom mumbled, looking up from her coffee.

"Yeah, why?" Dad added.

"Levy." I simply answered. Their mouths formed an 'o' shape and they nodded.

"So, changing the topic, I'm well aware that your father told you about the party that will happen at Fairy Tail." Layla looked at father.

"Yeah, I'm informed." I replied, munching on my oatmeal quickly. It's the first day of school and Levy will surely get mad at me if I don't arrive anytime soon. "I'm going to the school already, mom, dad. Bye."

"Enjoy your first day and last school year of high school, dear!" Mother shouted.

"I will!!"

"Hime, punishment again?" Virgo, one of my celestial spirits who was a maid, asked me. I shook my head. "When is the start of the recording of your new song?" Oh, right, the recording. I was actually a singer and a busy student of Fairy Tail.

"I dunno, Virgo... when my manager says so... I think." I answered, unsure. She nodded in reply as I walked towards my school. "See you!" she waved and disappeared.

~~***~~

"...The End!" Levy finished telling a story to me. Heck? I even wanna read a certain book named Harry Potter (A/N: RISE UP, POTTERHEADS!!) so badly, but she spoiled everything to me! Good thing I didn't listen, and all I heard were the words I was dying to hear. I'm such a good listener.

"So, Lu, did you hear?" She casually changed the topic.

"Hear... about what?"

"You know, about the new student in our class. Everyone says he's so rich and handsome... and you know what's weird about him? He has pink hair."

Pink hair... pink hair... pink hair...

Where have I heard that before? Or seen?

"Oh, you mean the Dragneel ones?" I guessed randomly, somehow annoyed.

"Yeah, wait how did you know that?" She asked curiously.

"Levy, you know that I can't tell you at this rate, for you know there's only two minutes before the first period starts." I cocked an eyebrow at her.

"You're not as updated as me even if I'm a bookworm, aren't you? The principal said it's okay for us to roam around the campus for new and old students for the first period. At least, she only told Mirajane and me." She elaborated. Oh, so that's why. "So now, spill it already!"

"'Kay. First of all.... let's go to the CR."

When we reached the comfort room and saw no one around, I sighed, relieved. I locked the door so no one could interrupt. I can now tell her the story.

"Natsu..." I started to see her reaction. Her eyes widened for a bit. She did not expect for me to know Dragneel's first name. "is a childhood friend of mine." I finished. And with that statement, she shut up.

"Seriously?" Those were the only words that came from her mouth. "I know you know where everything will lead after that question. Go on, tell the story." she said after awhile. Okay, here we go.

"When I was a kid...."

☆★FLASHBACK★☆

This is me, Lucy, seven years old, playing with little Natsu Dragneel.

"Natsu! Catch!" the seven year old me shouted and tossed the ball towards Natsu. He was as sporty as ever so he caught it.

"I've got it!!" he shouted back enough for me to hear it.

Natsu ran towards me, "Can we rest? I'm tired of catching the ball." He rested his head on my lap.

"Sure." I muttered.

"Say, Luce... if I lost my memory and I don't consider you as my best friend anymore... will you still consider me as your best friend? Would you still come near me even if I don't want you around?"

"Natsu, don't ever speak nor think about those things! Look, you're still a seven year old kid like me. So if you don't mind... never speak again like that..." I whispered.

"Alright..." He replied.

☆★END OF FLASHBACK★☆

"That's... all I can remember when I was still a seven year old... and I never expected it to come true." I finished with a blank face.

"Did you know how he lost his memory?" Levy asked, looking thoughtful.

"A little... since I transferred to the school in the US after my elementary years with him being my classmate always... so I never heard of him anymore. I just heard that he got into an accident, a car accident to be specific. And, I went to the hospital after that." I continued.

"Tell me what happened when he saw you the first time after the accident."

☆★FLASHBACK★☆

I went to where the infirmary is, panting and catching my breath.

"And who might you be?" Oh, Natsu's father, huh?

"Lucy Heartfilia, Natsu's childhood best friend. It's nice to see you again, Mr. Igneel." I smiled at him politely. Of course, he was taken aback by my words. I took that as my cue to enter the infirmary.

"Who are you, one of my fans again?" Natsu queried when he saw me. Oh, so he really forgot about me then. Rumors were true, that he got an amnesia. His attitude changed. He became boastful.

"Don't be so full of yourself. I'm your childhood bestfriend, Lucy Heartfilia, and I know you've forgotten me already. Don't be so boastful to the point that you'd think I'd be your fan. I'm just your best friend. I still don't know if you still consider me as one, though. I'm gonna take my leave. Thank you." I placed the basket of fruits that was supposedly for him at his table and left, disappointed that my best friend doesn't know me anymore.

☆★END OF FLASHBACK★☆

"I don't wanna remember the things that happened next anymore." I said, frowning.

"It's okay. I'm here by your side." Levy comforted me with a smile.

"Thanks...?" I mumbled, smiling a bit.

"No problem, 'cause I'm your best friend." She winked at me, making me laugh. "Anyways, we've gotta go to our second period. I bet the introductions are going to be there. I miss Mira, come on!" She pulled me out of the CR while giggling.

"Oh! Lucy, Levy, we've been waiting for you for awhile now! Come have a seat." Mirajane Strauss, our class muse, motioned for us to sit down, "And by the way, I was just gonna introduce the new student now. His name is-"

"Don't ever mention it, I know him." I cut her off. I want to prevent her from saying Natsu's name in front of me. It might make me sorrowful again. She was slightly shocked by my sudden outburst, and of the fact that I told her that I knew Natsu. "S-S-Sorry... I just remembered something I didn't want to remember so I talked to myself." Lamest excuse ever.

"It's okay, now take your seat." She kindly said. "Tell me about it later, 'kay?" She whispered.

"Class, settle down!" Mirajane shouted. The class is super crazy right now.

"Oi, Lucy, I have a new frienemy that I want for you to meet. You met him yesterday. He's a new stu-" Him again?

"No, thanks, but I already know him." I answered. I don't know why, but it feels like my energy ran out. Here we go again, me, Lucy Heartfilia feeling miserable.

"Oh... I see." He nodded.

"Natsu, come here!" Argh! I'm completely annoyed now. He went inside the classroom, flashing his toothy grin to everybody. I missed that childish grin. Wait, Lucy, don't ever think of things like that, okay?

The girls of our classroom started to gush like the person in front of us was a celebrity. Levy, my girl friends (that's what I call my girl bestfriends) and me kept quiet, though. I remembered the time when we met again at the mall. We stared at each other for I don't know how long, until he bumped to a lady. And when I realized what I did, I ran away as fast as I could, because I do not know if he still remembers our first encounter after his accident, and I'm shy because of what I told him that day.

"So guys, this is Natsu Dragneel. I think many of you already know him. How old are you, Natsu?"

"17." Natsu replied shortly, smiling at Mira.

"So he's 17 years old. Okay, let's wait for the teacher, Mr. Wakaba Mine, for you to be placed on a vacant chair."

"Don't you think he can be called popular with the way girls giggle about him?" Levy nudged me.

I shrugged, "I don't know, Levy, and I don't care. I WAS just his best friend, so how should I know? He can be with Lisanna for all I care, they fit together since they're both popular. I just consider Lisanna as a friend."

I bet she's gonna be late again. Always the late entrance. Tsk.

"How harsh, miss." I looked up at the one who spoke. Oh, Natsu the boastful, huh? Well now I despise him for acting like a leader of a fraternity... maybe I exaggerated. Okay, so acting like he's the King of this school. Much better.

"What?" I asked him with a straight face. "Did you hear? I said you can be with Lisanna."

"Wait a minute... are you the girl from the mall? The one I stared at? And I think... you're the one from yesterday and you're the one from the hospital who told me I'm her best fri-"

"Good Morning, class." Mr. Wakaba said. Thanks for ending our conversation, Mr. Wakaba. You're a life saver!

The class settled down. Erza Scarlet, our class president who's always chill, sat in front of me, and Gray Fullbuster sat at the back of me. Levy McGarden's at my left side, and no one at my right. So by the way, Mr. Wakaba is my most favorite teacher, because he's the kind of guy who always smiles. Cool, isn't it?

"Good morning, Mr. Wakaba." We greeted in chorus. I smiled gracefully, fully forgetting that Dragneel is still beside me, standing.

"I think you've met Natsu Dragneel, the new student." And the class started being noisy again. Mr. Wakaba spotted Natsu, finally.

Mr. Wakaba smiled at Natsu and me, which surprised me a little bit. I looked around the classroom, and that's when I noticed that there were no vacant chairs left... except for one. The chair on my right side.

Life, why do you have to be that cruel?

"Natsu Dragneel, please sit beside Lucy Heartfilia. I hope you two would get along well."
