A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with another story and I hope you like it. For those of you who follow my other story about Fairy Tail, don't worry I have not abandoned it. I'm just experiencing some writers block. I hope you enjoy the story. Don't forget to review!
Lucy POV
My name is Lucy Heartfilia and I'm a student here at Fairy Tail High. My best friends are Levy and Juvia. We've all been friends since sophomore year, when I moved to Magnolia. The three of us have always been known as the school "weirdoes" or "nerds". I think it's because I'm at the top of our class and all I ever do is study, Levy is a book worm, and Juvia is... Different. Regardless of the reason, I don't mind. I happen to like my small circle of friends. I wouldn't change if I could.
Normal POV
Suddenly Lucy found herself flat on her face with her books all over the floor. She quickly scrambled to pick them up.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here" said Lisanna Strauss. She was one of the most popular girls in the school. Her and her group of friends: Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster, Gajeel Redfox, Jellal Fernandez, and Erza Scarlet were clearly at the top.
"You've got to be more careful there. Someone important could get hurt" Lisanna smirked evilly, knowing damn well she was the one that tripped her.
Erza rolled her eyes at her friend's antics and helped Lucy pick up her books. Lucy smiled in and quickly walked over to her own group of friends who were waiting for her across the hall.
Lisanna crossed her arms. "Whatcha do that for Erza?"
Erza adjusted the strap on her book bag. "Because that was unnecessary. She didn't do anything to you. You really need to stop being so mean. What if someone treated you that way?" Erza walked over to Jellal and gave him a quick kiss.
"I have to go to class early today to finish a lab. See you all later."
Ezra's friends all said goodbye as she walked away.
"Why did you do that anyways?" Gray asked Lisanna.
Lisanna shrugged. "I don't know. I was bored."
The others nodded understanding. "I've been really bored lately." Natsu yawned.
This gave Lisanna idea. "Well. Since everyone is so bored let's play a little game" she leaned against her locker.
Gajeel shrugged. "Sure. Why not. There's nothing better to do. What do you have in mind"
Natsu, Gray, and Jellal all nodded in agreement with their friend.
Lisanna smiled, pleased that they were going along with her idea. "Let's make a bet. Whoever nails one of those nerds first wins. I'll even let you choose which one you pursue." She said referring to Lucy and her friends.
"But wait a second." Said gray. "There's only 3 of them and 4 of us"
"Don't sweat it. I'm dating Erza remember? I can't truly participate, but I'll still bet."
Lisanna smiled "so it's official then. Who will you guys pick."
"I call Juvia!" Gray said immediately. He had heard a little while ago that she had a crush on him. This would be a piece of cake.
"I call Lucy!" Natsu declared. Natsu had a good feeling about Lucy. Plus she had a much better option compared to his other option Levy.
"Alright!" Lisanna clasped her hands together excitedly. "My money is on Natsu"
"My money is on Gray" said Jellal.
"What if you're both wrong and I win? Then what?"
Lisanna thought for a moment. "Here's an idea. Where winner of the bet gets 70 bucks. But 20 of that 70 goes to the person who bet on them. If the winner is someone no one bet on, the extra money goes into the pot for future games. Sound good?"
The guys all nodded agreeing to the terms of the bet.
Natsu POV
I've got this in the bag. No girl can resist the charms of Natsu Dragneel. I have first period with Lucy. And I think I sit right behind her. I've got this.
I get to class and the sight I see doesn't surprise me there's Lucy, nose in her books studying. We must have a test today. Oh well. I take my seat right behind her. I loudly clear my throat trying to get her attention but she's unresponsive. I do it again and get no response. I decide to just tap her on the shoulder. She turns around and stares at me with confusion written all over her face.
"Hey. I'm Natsu" I said coolly.
"Hi." Was her simple response and she turned right back around and began to study again.
That threw me off a bit. Girls don't usually react that way to me. I tapped her shoulder again getting her attention a second time.
"You look nice today!" I smiled, lying. She had on a button up shirt with a large frumpy sweater on top of it paired with some old jeans and some docs. I'm pretty sure it's like 80 degrees today.
Lucy POV
I rolled my eyes. Does he see what I have on? I purposely dress like this so guys like him will leave me alone. It's like 80 degrees outside! I only have on a sweater because it's the only thing that properly hides my boobs. That way, guys don't drool over me.
"Mhm. Thanks" I said nonchalantly and turned back to my book. We have a test today and I only have 2 minutes left to finish reviewing.
Natsu tapped me on the shoulder again. I turned around, very annoyed. Why won't he leave me alone?
"I'm having a party tonight at my place. Come." He said obviously trying to look sexy and dreamy. Don't get me wrong, he is. But I'm not falling for that one.
"No thanks." I said coolly. He looked at me shocked. Probably not used to girls turning him down.
I saw him quickly try to regain his composure. "Why not?"
I sigh. This conversation was really dragging on. "Parties aren't my thing."
Natsu laughs. I'm not sure why though. "Come on Luce."
... Who the hell is Luce. No one ever calls me that.
"You should come." He smiled brightly. "Bring all your friends too. It'll be fun! Everyone likes to have fun."
That's when it hit me. This conversation would never end until I agreed to go to his stupid party. I sighed deeply. "Fine. Whatever. Me and my friends will be there."
Natsu POV
Yes! I'm so gonna win this thing. I may have given Gajeel and Gray the same opportunity as me by inviting her friends too but I'm not worried. They are nowhere near as smooth as I am.
I smiled at her "okay great! The party starts at 8. My address is 17-"
"Natsu" she cut me off. She had the straightest face and looked pretty irritated. "I know where you live. I've lived next door to you for 3 years now. I said I'll be there. So can you leave me alone. I have to study." With that she turned back to her desk and k didn't bother her again.
Since when did Lucy live next door? Have I really paid THAT little of attention to her that I didn't even notice she's been RIGHT THERE since sophomore year? Wow. Whatever. Now I have to actually throw a party. I should probably spread the word. I pull out my phone and send a mass text that said "party at my place tonight 8:00" and put my phone back in my pocket.
The teacher finally walked into class. She's like 5 minutes late. Class started 7 minutes ago.
