Lucy's POV

"I won!" Loke exclaimed with his cheerful smile. He made his way towards me, slowly. Every time he made a step closer to me I always retreated back but now I just can't move. His hands grabbed my shoulder gently and what?

He's hugging me? Is this a dream? All that questions were spinning around in my head. My heart beat... it's beating rapidly. I was trying to break free from his embrace but failed. He just keeps on holding me tightly whenever I tried to struggle to break free.

"I wish I could do this to you more often. So please just stay like this for a little while will you?" His voice...was so gentle and soothing. His touch was so warm and somewhat makes me comfortable. "I missed you, Lucy."

My eyes softened when I realized what he said. So that's his reason. "Okay, I'll stay still for while. Of course you missed me, you don't have anyone to tease for the past six years, right? I remembered when you tried to do it to Erza you nearly got killed huh?" I chuckled.

"To all first year students please proceed to the auditorium for the orientation."

He breaks free from the hug first and when I saw his face, I saw his playful smirk in place again. He's back to his usual self again. I wonder why he's acting strange today. He reached for my hand and intertwines his hand with mine as he led me towards the auditorium entrance. I was stunned, my eyes kept on eyeing our linked hands. "Is something the matter?"

I kept my head down looking at the floor to hide my flushed face and brought my right hand to my chest; I can feel my heartbeat beats rapidly. What's happening to me? "Oh, it's nothing. Let's just go."

I keep on staring at my feet as we entered the auditorium. My face would probably look as red as a tomato by now. Slowly I brought my heads up again only to see people staring at us especially girls. They were staring at Loke. I heard them whispering with each other, all sorts of assumption came out.

"They're dating?"

"I heard they're childhood friends"

"I like Loke-sama. How can that Lucy Heartfilia girl be with him?"

"Lucy is the daughter of Jude and Layla Heartfilia. Their one of the richest family in Fiore and so is also Loke-sama"

When I looked at the auditorium it seemed that it was full of the first year students. How can they fit in all the first year students? I'll just ask Erza later. "Let's go and find the others Loke. Maybe they're looking for us."

It's too crowded in the auditorium; I can't even see where I'm going with all these fan girls and fan boys blocking our way. It'll be hard for us to find them.

"GIVE ME BACK MY TOAST, I'M HUNGRY YOU SKINNY MAN" I heard someone shouted and I'm pretty sure it was Natsu's voice. "FOR GODS SAKE PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON YOU'RE DRAWING A LOT OF ATTENTION. YOU'RE EMBARRASSING OUR FAMILY!"

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DUMMY? I DIDN'T STOLE YOU'RE TOAST" Someone shouted back. "WELL LOOK WHO'S TALKING; YOU'RE DRAWING A LOT OF ATTENTION TOO. BESIDES IF I DID STOLE YOUR TOAST IT'S PROBABLY INSIDE MY STOMACH, DUMMY!"

I made my way pushing through the crowd with Loke following me from behind, he seemed like he heard the argument too. Well who wouldn't, they attracted everyone's attention in the auditorium.

When I arrived at the scene with Loke, just as I thought it was Natsu and Gray. I sweat dropped. When I looked at Erza there seemed to be dark aura surrounding her. It seemed that Loke also noticed when I saw his widened eyes. Oh God this is not good. Gray and Natsu don't seem to sense the dark aura coming from Erza and just kept on arguing.

"Natsu, Gray" Erza said in a warning tone. This is not good. I stared at Loke with pleading expression to stop Erza from doing something horrible but Loke just shrugged he didn't want to lose his life by stopping Erza from whatever she was doing. "Stop arguing or I'll cru-"

Erza was cut in the middle of her sentence when Master Makarov made his entrance to the auditorium. "Okay, settle down everyone. Now we may begin the orientation since I don't have any announcement to make today. Remember safety is the most important thing, so be careful. You may group yourself I'm too lazy to divide you guys into group"

Great, did he just say he's lazy? Well, whatever I'll just go with the usual. Natsu, Gray, Erza, Loke and I started to form a group when I realized Levy was not here with us. Where could she be?

As if on cue a blue haired girl started to make its way towards us with two guys following her from behind. "Hi, Lu-Chan" Levy said waving her hand. "Sorry I can't be in the same group with you. You see I already made up a group with these two guys"

I nodded in understanding but still it worries me. I mean Levy was always with me, where ever I go there she was following me. "But are you okay with this? We can accept you three in our group you know"

She just shook her head in disagreement. "Well I was trying to be independent for once, I always depend on you and your groups are made up of excellent students. Besides I want to achieve what I want with my own effort"

I heard Gray's cough from behind me. "Correction Levy, not all of us is excellent students. It's just the four of us besides Me, Lucy, Loke and Erza. That DUMMY cheated during the entrance exam and get all the answers from ME" Gray emphasized on the word 'dummy' and 'me'. He still didn't get over that issue I see.

Levy just giggled at Gray's behaviour while Natsu just kept on glaring at him. "Well goodbye guys, see you at the house"

"So all of you already made a group? Then let's head out and start the game" The master said.

"I'm all fired up" Natsu yelled in excitement. "We're gonna win for sure. Besides when it comes to games it's our specialty"

"You got that right" I put thumbs up and grinned starting to get excited too. They just smiled at me in return. Well the three of them did it.

"You look so cute princess; I can't even take my eyes off of you now" He hugged me again that good for nothing Loke.
