Natsu❀

"Shut up!" Jellal and a red-head said.

"Whoops, where are my manners-" I was cut off by Lucy.

"Psh, Manners? Where?" She put her hand above her eyes, as if she was scouting something.

"Anyways," I glared at Lucy, "What're your names?"

"Well, I'm Gray-" Stupid Popsicle.

"Not you Princess. I was talking about them," I pointed to the two blunettes and red-head.

"Oh," I face palmed. Leave it to Gray to be stupid and self centered.

"I'm losing brain cells because of you," Levy smacked Gray, "So let's get the introductions over with."

"R-Right." Gray murmured, rubbing his right cheek.

"I'm Levy. Your typical badass bookworm." I chuckled.

"Juvia," Juvia just sat there, looking disgusted by Gray.

"E-erza," The redhead hid behind Lucy.

Lucy picked up a fork and flung it at Gajeel's head, "Oi, Bunny Girl!"

"That's for saying I had the hots for Natsu," She then flung one at Jellal.

"For denying your date with Erza." Then Gray...

"For being a stupid asshole." I grinned. Lucy and I are going to have a good year.

"Why you-" Lucy just laughed, while Levy, Juvia, and Erza high fived each other.

It was now time for gym.

"Girls, line up for volleyball!" I watched as Erza, Levy, Juvia, and Lucy walked over, unamused.

"Boys, line up for football." Gray, Jellal, Gajeel, and I lined up.

"Why do you call Lucy 'Bunny Girl'?" I asked Gajeel.

"When Lucy first came here, she was timid, more timid than Erza," Jellal started.

"Once she started hanging around Shrimpy, Juvia, and Erza, she toughened up. We never knew why she was so timid, and the other girls don't either."

Lucy, timid?! Wow, I'd never thought she would've been timid.

"Another thing Natsu," I looked at Gray.

"Lucy doesn't tell anyone anything about her life at home, or out of school." Now that sounded weirder.

"I see," It sounded like her and I connect in some ways. I don't talk about my family either.

I glanced at the girls group, they were amazing. Lucy, Erza, Juvia, and Levy, were in a circle, hitting the ball, not letting it fall to the floor. "Wow, they're good." I noticed Gajeel grinning.

"What is it Gajeel?" He looked back at me.

"That shorty can hit the ball well," I glanced to Levy the 'badass bookworm'. Gajeel was right, despite her height, she was consistently hitting the ball.

"We have a game next Saturday, right?" Lucy, and her friends were walking over to us.

"Yeah, next Saturday," Lucy grinned.

"Who are we facing?" Erza asked.

"Flare," Levy said in distaste.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the volleyball champs." Jellal teased.

"Shut up Jellal," Erza's behavior changed, "We're talking about our tournament."

"Tournament?" I quizzically asked Lucy.

"Mm," Lucy hummed in response.

"We're in Lonestar, it's a Volleyball club." Juvia shrugged.

Lucy put her arms above her head and yawned. Her shirt rose a little above her belly button, exposing two or three scars. "Lucy?" She looked to me.

"What is it Natsu?" She held the hem of her shirt, pulling it down.

"Nothing..." The guys looked at me weirdly.

"She has a scar?" They nodded.

"Explain," They shook their heads, and Gray came up and whispered.

"When she isn't around." I nodded.

We slid in a peek, seeing none of the girls there. We then realized, the bell rang a few minutes ago. Jellal and Gray started running, while Gajeel and I walked.

"Psh, Idiots." Gajeel and I said at the same time.

By the time Gajeel and I made it, our teacher was pissed.

"Dragneel, Redfox." We shrugged.

"We're tired. We just came from gym." The teacher nodded, and walked to his computer, probably putting in 'tardies'.

"It's Natsu!" One of the girls yelled.

"We love you!~" The girls hummed in delight.

Lucy was in the back, talking to Juvia. When they noticed Gray and I sitting behind them, they rolled their eyes. "You never want to be late to Mr. Evans class,"

"Why's that?" I questioned her.

"Because...when he gets pissed, his wife; Ms. Albarn comes in," Lucy shook her head.

"Shouldn't it be Mrs. Evans?" Lucy nodded.

"They just got married this year, so I still call her Ms. Albarn."

"And?" Lucy sighed, leaning back in her chair.

"When Ms. Albarn comes in, she does her famous 'Maka chop' and it hurts." I was still confused.

"Ms. Albarn is another English Teacher, other than Mr. Evans, and well she hits you with a book." Lucy explained, turning back to look at Mr. Evans.

"Ouch!" I muttered under my breath.
