Disclaimer: I don't own Fairytail.. Not even in my dreams...
Lucy was a seventeen year old girl who had had a really tough past life. She lived with her father but had faced a terrible death of her mother when she was a little girl. Ever since that tragic incident, her father had never been able to look at her for she brought too many memories of his wife to him. This had scared her greatly and she was was always in misery but she had managed to live with it for a while now.
Then a guy called Phill had come into her life and had returned colour back into her eyes. She had fallen head over hills for the guy and they had been dating for about a year.
But he too had broken her heart. Though as hard as she tried to recover from the break up, she couldn't and she had no hope for happiness in her life anymore.
Flashback..
"Lucy.. I hope you would understand that I mean you know harm... It's just that I'm in love with somebody else okay..." and the guy just left her without even looking back.
"But... Why... After you've taken my heart away from me.. Why? How? This is just so unbelievable... Why me?" Lucy wept on the bench the two of them were sitting on just a second ago. This was the bench where he had first asked her out . This was the bench where they had had their first kiss and now this is also the bench where her heart had been shredded into pieces.
Flashback ends
A couple of months after the break up, her father had sent her away to a town called Magnolia. He couldn't stand looking at her anymore and just wanted her to be away from his sight.
When she had arrived at the town, she didn't look all that pleased. Of course it was a beautiful place and there were lots of people who had comforting smiles on their faces. But nothing could make her smile again. She seldom opened her heart to anyone and mostly spent her time in the dark all by herself.
She was to attend a school called Fairytail and she found the name a bit strange. Nevertheless, she was on her way to the school and it being her first day, she was extremely nervous. Plus she wasn't all that excited thinking there would be lots of students and right now she didn't want to be around anybody.
She had tried hard to bring out a bright smile on her face when she entered the school gate but failed miserably. So off she went to the Principal's office with her head drooping down so that nobody would notice her while she was walking down the hall.
*Bam!*
"I'm really sorry mister... Do forgive me for bumping into you like that... I'm really sorry.." Then she quickly rushed to the Principal.
A pink haired guy stared surprised as well as amazed at the blonde beauty he had just run into. He had never seen her before. "I wonder who she is?" he silently whispered to himself and looked at the retreating figure of the girl.
"Good morning child.. You must be miss Lucy Heartfillia... Welcome to Fairytail High School..."
"Good Morning Sir... " Lucy tried to sound as much as excited as she could but wasn't able to.
"I hope you will love being here at our school.. Now I don't want to keep you from your class.. so I requested Virgo here to assist you to your first class."
"Thanks sir.."
When Virgo and Lucy had reached the English class, she went in but first making a depressed sigh.
"And that is why we will be doing this play I ho... Oh you must be the new student... Please come in and introduce yourself." A tall man with orange hair was standing in font of the class and Lucy guessed that it must be her English teacher.
"Ssssure.. Hello everyone.. My name is Lucy Heartfillia.." Lucy tried hard not to show her nervousness to the class by holding her stutter.
Then the whole class replied in unison "Good Morning Lucy!"
"Miss Heartfillia.. Why don't you sit behind Gray." The teacher pointed at the empty seat behind a dark haired boy who was quite attractive indeed and for which many girls might easily fall for.
"Yes sir.."
"I am Gildartz by the way... I hope you will enjoy studying here.."
Then Lucy went over to her seat. The boy in front of her turned back and smiled at her welcomingly and said "Hi.. The name's Gray.. Gray Fullbuster..." Then he extended out a hand to her.
She reached out to shake it and said "Nice to meet you Gray.."
Then Lucy turned to her right to look at the window and noticed a pink haired boy next to her. She found it odd that a boy would have such a colour for a hair but slided it away thinking it was not her business and then faced the teacher again.
Natsu, as that was the name of the pink haired boy, had not seen her for he was still tranced with his earlier accident. "I really wanna see her again" he thought. He was so much in thought that he couldn't see that the girl he was thinking about was right there next to him.
"So class... As I was saying earlier... For the play for this year I have chosen the classic romance tragedy of Shakespeare.. Romeo And Juliet.."
All the girls became so excited on hearing that, except Lucy, and as for the boys... Well they didn't really care which play they had to do.. They just wanted it to be done.. They wouldn't have even participated if it wasn't a necessity for their grades.
"So to make things fair, I made a chit of paper having the names of everybody in the class... One box is for the boys and the other is for the girls. Let's start with the main male character... Romeo.."
"It's just gotta be... I suit to be Romeo than anybody else in the room." A guy with blonde hair stood up.
"Ha! You can't act.. Remember what happened last year Loke... You couldn't even say a single word or make a step." Gray mocked Loke, for that was the blonde's name, for his lack of acting skills.
"Shut up.. I did that on purpose so that I wouldn't steal all the spotlight." Loke gave Gray a "shut your mouth.. I'm trying to look cool in front of the hot new girl' face.
"Let's get going with it... Sit down Loke." So Gildartz reached out into the boy's box and pulled out a paper." The boy who will be staring as Romeo is.. Natsu Dragneel!"
Everybody in class went "What! You've gotta be kidding me!" then turned towards the pink headed teen who seemed to have not even heard what the teacher had said.
"Natsu! Get over here!" Gildartz ordered him to come to the front of the class.
"Why? What did I do now... What were you saying?" Natsu looked clueless.
"Boy! Didn't you hear what I was saying... You'll be playing as Romeo in our play this year.."
"O.. ok... Romeo.. This year.. Umm... Huh? What! What did you say... Me? Romeo... There's got to be a mistake.. Who chose me? When? When did this happen?"
The whole class started to laugh at him. He looked so confused just like a three year old would look on a first day of school.
"This guy is weird and funny.. Plus that shade of pink makes him look even more funnier." She laughed along with the class and realized that she hadn't laughed in this way for a while now.
"Yes Natsu.. You are Romeo... Didn't you hear me when I was explaining how I would choose the characters this year.. Of course you didn't.. Now for Juliet.."
All the girls, but Lucy, wanted to be the fair Juliet and had their fingers crossed. Lucy didn't want to be part of the play in any way.
"Juliet will be... Oh I didn't expect this... Lucy Heartfillia.."
The class was surprised that the new girl would be playing the main lead for the female.
"Lucy Heartfillia.. Sir... I think you've made a mistake with some other class.. I've never heard of that name before.." Natsu was of course lost again and was shocked that the whole class was laughing at him.
"Where were you this morning idiot... I thought you were in the class but clearly your mind never seems to work." Gray loved teasing him which made Natsu so pissed off.
"You jack ass... There is nobody in this class with that name.. I've been in this class since elementary..."
"It's the new girl's name.."
"What new gir" Then he looked behind Gray and found the girl he was thinking about so much this whole time. He felt so stupid that she was sitting right next to him.
"Hi! I'm Lucy Heartfillia... I guess you didn't notice me come in that time." She stood up and extended her hand for him to shake.
"H-h-hey Lucy.. Sorry for not s-s-s-seeing you..." Then he blushed brightly while he reached for her hand.
"Yes Natsu.. she is Lucy.. And she is going to be our Juliet.." Gildartz looked over at the flustered teen and giggled as he had never seen him like that.
"No fair.. I want to be Lucy's Romeo... Natsu doesn't even like acting." Loke cpmplined. He really wanted to spend time with the blonde.
"Well this year I wanna act ok..." Natsu turned even brighter when he realized what he just said.
"I can't believe it.. You have always said that you hated acting for as long as I can remember.. What's up with this year?" Gray was clearly confused.
"I-i-i-it's just that I wanna give it a try k.. No biggy.. So let's start picking other characters..." he tried to change the topic.
"Ya.. He's right... Let's pick Tybalt.." Gildartz started to continue with what he was doing
So at the end of the class, all the characters had been chosen.
The characters are:
Loke-Tybalt
Gray-Benvolio
Elfman-Escalus
Gajeel-Mercutio
Levi-Juliet's nurse
Hibiki-Paris
Jellal-Lord Capulet
Erza-Lady Capulet
Droy-Friar Laurence
Jet-Balthasar
[Don't wanna go on with this list so let's just move on.. It's not important anyway]
Later that day, Lucy was trying to get used to the school and finding out where all her classes were. Then she went back to her locker to get her lunch box but was suddenly startled by the shout of her name from a distance
"Lucy-chan!" A short blue haired girl with an orange bandana over her head came running towards her followed by a tall girl with scarlet hair who was very attractive.
"Hey Levi.. I'm sorry.. Was that your name?" Lucy looked at her and tried to put on a smile.
"Ya.. you got it right.." Levi returned her weak smile with a huge smile of her own.
"We welcome you Lucy.." The red head spoke up to her.
"Thanks.. you must be our class president.. Erza Scarlet.."
"Yes... And we'll be happy to have lunch with you along with some of our friends.. Please join us Lucy.."
"It's ok guys... I think I'll have it on my own today.. Sorry.. Tomorrow ok.." She really didn't want to sound rude but she was still uneasy about being around people she wasn't that close with. She just wanted to be alone.
"Ok Lucy.. If that's what you want... But tomorrow you gotta eat with us k.." Erza tried to make sure that Lucy would join them the next time.
"I'm really sorry guys.." Then she walked off to the garden situated in the school.
"This place seems nice... I'll try to open up to them.. I just need more ti-" She was cut off suddenly.
"Yo Luce! Whatcha doing out here during break?"
"Eek! What's with you! I'm trying to eat my lunch here."
"Oh sorry.. Didn't mean to scare you.. I like eating my lunch here too and you're sitting in my favourite spot so.. Ummm.." Natsu started blushing again "Would you mind if I joined you?"
"It's not my place so you don't have to ask... Sit wherever you want.."Lucy just replied bluntly. She had serious issues opening up to new people, especially guys.
"Y-y-ya sure.." Then they both started taking their lunch.
"So what do you thing so far about the school?"
"It's kind of nice.. This is the first time I'm in a school.. I was home schooled."
"Oh I see...Well school's really nice... So you're Juliet huh?"
"I don't want to be.. Maybe somebody else can be her.."
Natsu for some reason wanted her to be Juliet. He had some kind of urge inside of him that wanted him to know Lucy better.
"I think you'll be perfect as Juliet.."
"Huh?"
Natsu realized what he said and quickly continued "Like it would help you have that school experience since it's your first time."
"I guess your right.. you're Romeo right?"
"Yup... I'm kinda nervous actually" Then he for some reason just blushed again because Lucy for the first time was looking straight at him with her chocolate brown eyes.
"What's up with your face? It's all red all of a sudden."
"Aaaaaa... Well... It's nothing... Just feeling kinda hot... that's all..." Then he whispered "You've got beautiful eyes"
"What did you say?" Lucy was looking at him intensely making him go red even brighter.
"N-n-n-nothing.. nothing at all.." Then they enjoyed their lunch.
After a few minutes she got up ans said "Well I'm off to my next class then... it was nice talking to you."
"My pleasure Luce.."
"What is wrong with me? Why do feel this way when I'm around her... I've never felt this way about any girl in my life.. I gotta go talk to Lisanna.. She's a girl... She'll Understand.." Natsu then began walking off towards his next class and made up his mind to meet Lissana after school. She was his bestfriend after all, after Gray that is.
"That Natsu guy is strange.. I don't wanna get too close to him... I can't trust anyone.. But I don't know why but being with him was kind of nice... Still I can't let myself fall for this guy.. for goodness sake.. I just met him.. Then why the hell do I feel like I've known him my entire life... I gotta ignore this feeling and keep it locked inside me..." With that Lucy went into her chemistry class with a sigh...
k the first chapter is done... I know Natsu is kind of OOC but I it's my story and I wanted him in this way.. Anyway.. I really am having fun writing this... Blushing Natsu is really cute... Please review k..
