Chapter One

Lucy's POV:

Most people would only dream of going to college with their childhood best friend, but for Levy and I, it was really happening! The thought of getting to spend what might be the greatest years of my life with my closest friend who I've known for years made me grin. We wouldn't have to call each other from different sides of the country, and our friendship would never be put to the test this way! As the taxi neared the building I could feel the excitement bubbling up inside of me. College had always been a dream of mine, and now it was finally coming true! Levy and I had planned to meet at the college gates, and as the taxi came to a stop I spotted the bluenette. She was leaning the gates, her big eyes looking around for me, probably. Almost dashing out of the car to see her, I remembered that the taxi man would not be satisfied leaving here unpaid.

"How much?" I asked him, smiling. Spotting my handbag, I picked it up, rummaging through it for my purse. Not replying to me, he got out of the car, closing his door behind him. What? Confused, I got out myself, looking around. I saw him taking out my luggage from his car boot, smiling at me. "Oh, thank you so much" I said, grateful that this taxi driver had courtesy. Taking my suitcase from him, I contemplated asking him again how much it cost. Closing the taxi boot, he turned to me.

"That'll be $40 madam" Nodding, I unzipped my purse. At the exact time I went to take out two twenties somebody decided to elbow me, causing my purse to fall from my hands. I watched as a 50 dollar note drifted away, landing on someone's feet. Before I could run over there and pick it up myself, the boy decided to, laughing.

"HEY!" I shouted, running over to him after picking up my purse. Looking back, I realise how stupid I must've looked, but $50 is a lot of money. I wasn't going to let him get away with taking hard earned cash! "STOP RIGHT THERE, PINKY!" Saying the first thing that came to mind as I watched the salmon hair coloured boy walk away probably wasn't the best idea. At least it got a reaction out of him though. He turned around, confused, his eyes landing on me. A smile broke out on his face, and I glared right back at him. Watching as he walked over to me, no words could come out of my mouth. What on earth is he doing, smiling at me and walking over to me like we know each other? Stopping uncomfortably close to me, he looked up and down, not going through the trouble of hiding the fact that he was checking me out.

"Hey babe, can I buy you with this?" Who the fuck does this guy think he is?! Clad in a black waistcoat and nothing more covering his chest he didn't look like someone who could afford to wave around MY $50 and ask to buy me with it. I almost wanted to slap that cheeky smile off his face.

"GIVE ME BACK MY 50 DOLLARS!" I shouted, fuming. Something about this stupid boy and his stupid grins aggravated me to no end. And the fact that I couldn't stop looking at his defined abs. Shocked, he blinked twice.

"Oh, this is yours?" he questioned. I snatched the note from his rough hands, rolling my eyes.

"No shit, Sherlock. What'd you think; it fell from the fucking sky?" Safely shoving the money inside my purse, I made sure to close it. No way in hell would I make that mistake again. He started laughing, and it was now my turn to blink twice in shock from this guy's actions.

"I just assumed it was my lucky day, but I guess I was wrong," Yeah you were wrong you dumbass. "Then again, I am taking to you" he winked, that giant smile appearing on his face, irritating me even further. Rolling my eyes for the second time in three minutes I turned around, walking back to the taxi man. Stupid pink haired freak!

"I'm so sorry about that!" I said, approaching the taxi man who only gave me an awkward smile back. "Here you go," taking out two $20 notes, I gave them to him. Nodding, he walked back to the driver's seat of the taxi, leaving me to walk towards Levy with my suitcase; which is exactly what I did.

"LUCY!" I heard her squeal, and a large smile spread across my face. I ran towards Levy, hugging her. "Oh my, was that you?" she questioned, her big eyes looking at me. "Were you the girl who was shouting at Natsu to give her $50?" The only thing I could think at this point was 'Who the fuck is Natsu?'

"You mean pink haired guy?" I asked, looking at her confused. She nodded, smiling slightly. "Oh, I dropped my purse and $50 fell out. He picked them up like it was nothing so I shouted at him to give it back." Nodding, Levy laughed.

"Of course you'd get attention from a hot guy before college has even started" she said, giggling. What hot guy? Surely she wasn't referring to the pink haired douche bag? "I think he was into you Lucy" she said, winking. I had to stop myself from throwing up right there.

"Levy, ew! I don't want a weirdo like him to be into me! And he isn't a hot guy!" Levy only laughed at my reply, starting to get me flustered. Surely there were other people who didn't find him hot, right? It can't just be me.

"Oh, Lucy, I don't mean hot in an attractive way… Guess you'll just have to find out! Come on, let's go find our room." Levy said, walking towards the college building. Sighing, I rolled my suitcase along, trudging behind her. What is Levy talking about? "Oh yeah, and because I got here a week before you, I already asked if we'd been assigned to the same room, and we have been!" I smiled; at least I'd be able to spend my college days with my best friend by my side, literally. And hopefully I wouldn't encounter that salmon haired freak ever again.

A/N: This is a pretty shitty first chapter, but please bear with me, once the pace starts to pick up I promise I will get better at describing awkward scenes. Not a lot of GaLe in this chapter, but that might come up in the later chapters, for now we need to figure out what Levy means when she says Natsu is 'hot'. Reviews would be appreciated!
