Chapter 3: Are my eyes deceiving me?!

Natsu's POV.

*Before dodgeball starts*

Ugh! Why did I have to get the new nerd?! She probably can't even dodge to save her life.

Oh I know!

"Okay team you know what to do, oh and Lucy stay on the sidelines. Will ya?"

Good now I won't have to worry about a nerd being the reason why I loose to ice princess! I'm smart aren't I?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"START!"

Finally!

As I ran towards the balls I saw Lucy already at front! She managed to grab a ball and dodge one too!

Damn.

Just as I was about to aim at Gray, he got knocked out by a very fast ball!

When I saw who did it, I was shocked.

LUCY?!

Everyone's POV.

HOLY HELL!

Natsu's POV.

Before the rest of us could even blink, she knocked out Erza and Bickslow.

Are my eyes deceiving me?!

Hmm... So the nerd can actually play. I underestimated her. I should watch her more closely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*back to present*

Hmm...

So Lucy is friends with some of the girls already. If she has more surprises to offer, I'm sure she'll be popular soon.

".... Let's go." I heard Levy's faint voice. Looks like she and Lucy are heading to class together. I better stay outta sight. I have culinary class, but I'll skip. For some reason, I wanna find out what class Lucy has next.

Maybe I'll compliment her, if we have the same class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay so we did end up having the same class. Time to make a move.

"Hey Luce, I wanted to tell you that you were really good in taking out Gray."

"Um... Thanks, by the way what's with the nick name?"

Nick name? Oh...

"Oh nothing. Just popped up."

"Okay, see ya later." with that the conversation ended.

That was not what I was expecting. She didn't even look fazed by the fact that I, Natsu Dragneel, most popular boy in school, gave her a nick name.

I knew she was different.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I observed her during class, but there wasn't really much. Besides talking to Levy, she's pretty quiet.

I did get caught a few times, but I think I played it off well.

Right now I have study hall so I think I'll ditch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucy's POV.

*After talking to Natsu*

Ok-ay that was kinda awkward.

"Levy~chan is Natsu your friend?" What I just had to ask.

"Oh yeah he's one of my friends, I've known him since I was eight along with Erza, Lissanna, and a few others. Juvia transfered here a little later with Gajeel."

"Cool, thanks.... By the way... The way your face looked when you said Gajeel... Is he your crush?" Oooh Levy~chan got a crush.

"Uh-umm w-what a-a-are you talking a-bout Lu~chan?!" And just like that Levy~chan went red!

"I knew it! When will you tell him! You know he looks pretty popular, better tell him before somebody else does." Time to give some advice.

"I know Lu~chan, but I could be heart broken if he doesn't accept my feelings."

"Are you kidding Levy~chan, look I know I've only known you for a short time, but seriously, who could turn you down!"

"Awww Lu~chan! You're sweet but I'll give us some time."

"Okay, but make it soon, I'll help if needed."

Okay, time to find out if Gajeel likes Levy~chan back.

I need a name for this operation.

Hmm... Operation: Find Levy~chan love.

No.

Um... Operation: Gajeel X Levy~chan.

Uh no.
.
.
.
Oh got it! Operation: Gale!

Yes.

I haven't done matchmaking in awhile. I was the one responsible for getting Loke to confess to Aries, Sting to confess to Yukino, and Rouge to confess to my other bestie Kagura.

I think I'm pretty good if I do day so myself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During class, I still felt someone's face on me. When I turned around I caught Natsu staring.

He pretended to sleep, but I saw all. All.

It was actually kinda cute.

Cute first last for long.

He almost burned his dish while staring!

I wanted to ask why he was staring, but I decided to leave it for the reason that he was staring at the whiteboard and not me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After study hall, I decided to go home. I know I had plans on going to the gym but, I was tired.

I know good reason.

It is when your a growing teenager, or person in general.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I got home, I could Snell pasta! Ooooh one of my favorites.

Love you Aries!

"I'm home!"

"Welcome home sis, we are all in the kitchen!" yep where would they not be. Aries males some of the best food!

"Okay!" As I made my way to the kitchen I passed the living room and say three extra school bags.

No way!

"Yukino, Kagura, and Rouge!"

"Lucy!" just then I was tackled by three figured I have known for years.

"Awww how'd you find out?"

"Stingy-bee, never underestimate the fact that I'm very observant. I saw your school bags." Moron, honestly did I got all the brains.

I got up gave them all a huge and went to devour some delicious pasta.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Aries this is amazing as always!"

"Good. I know you all had a long day. Tell me about your day Lucy. Sting and the others filled me in about theirs already." Awww they didn't wait.

I'm not the only one who can embarrass myself in school. Or life.

It's like a family thing.

"It was actually really good. I made 4 friends: Levy, Juvia, Lissanna, and Erza."

"Oh Erza's my cousin. Its good that your friends with her. She'll take good care of you." Wow Kagura's family is cool.

"That's great. I also pummeled a popular guy in dodgeball the only time I'll thank Sting and Rouge for tackling me all the time."

"Awesome, what did their faces look like! And your welcome."
Sting said

"They were so shocked that I had time to grab two more balls and get Erza and a big guy out!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After that devouring a piece of heaven, I decided to do my homework then hit the hay.

Let's hope tomorrow will be a good day.
