Lucy's Pov

"Lu!"

I turned my head at the call, smiling at my blue haired best friend, Levy. I stopped, waiting for her to catch up. When she did, she bent over with her hands on her knees, panting for breath. I laughed softly, placing a hand on her back. "You okay, Lev?"

She glanced up at me, her open mouth tugging into a smile. "Y-Yeah," She straightened, pushing blue strands away from her face. "I'm good."

"Great!" I tugged on her wrist, encouraging her to join me. I glanced at her clothing from the corner of my eye, internally nodding in approval. She wore black leggings, a large knitted sweater that went to her thighs and furry boots. She left her hair down, her natural waves framing her face. "You look cute." I said, my eyes landing on her now blushing face. She tugged nervously at her sleeves, pulling them over her small hands.

"Thanks." I had no doubt she was picturing the man of dreams. She smiled up at me widely. "You look amazing, by the way." Now it was my turn to blush. I looked down at my outfit. It wasn't that great, but I thanked Levy anyways. I had on a pair of ripped denim jeans and a long-sleeved white shirt. I wiggled my toes in my mid-calf heeled boots.

"Come on, Gray is holding our spots and I want food." I whined as we rounded the corner. The lunch room was just down the hallway, and I was almost jumping in my shoes as the smell wafted from the closed doors. I grasped Levy's wrist, pulling her with me as I fast walked. I had my eyes set on the door, so I hadn't noticed the body coming toward me until we bumped into each other. I hardly noticed the hallway become quite as I turned to apologize. "I'm so- you!"

The person was none other than the man I hated most, Erik Cubellios. He stood in front of me, scowl on his face. I glared harshly back, crossing my arms under my breasts. "Watch where you're going, Top Heavy!"

I reeled back at the name, he knew I hated that! That insufferable jackass! I poked my finger into his chest. "Me?! Why don't you watch where you're going? You're the one who bumped into me!" This was how it always started, us blaming each other. Soon enough, we would be trading insults until one of us walked away.

He swatted my hand away, crossing his arms and leaning forward. He looked good like that and I took a quick look at his body. Sneakers, black jeans and a black t-shirt. Damn. What? Just because I hate him doesn't mean I don't know an attractive male when I see one. I placed my eyes back on his face, one that was now graced with a smirk. That only meant that the insults were starting. "I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and shit out a statement smarted than that."

"I'd like to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my ass."

"If you're going to be two-faced at least make one of them pretty."

"You're a good example of why some animals eat their young." I looked up at him, challenge written in my eyes. I was excited for this, I always was. I was so into the argument, I hadn't even noticed Levy was gone.

"Shit." I whispered. Lu and I had been going to the lunch room, her complaining about her hunger. We had rounded the corner and she grasped my wrist. I stumbled at first, my short legs not given a chance to catch up with her long strides. I had seen him before Lucy, she being all eyes on the closed doors. They had gotten closer, and closer, until Lu bumped into him. I don't think she even noticed that it was him, as she turned.

"I'm so- you!" I looked between the two, noticing how the tension began building. They glared at each other, neither giving up. Lucy had let go of my wrist in favour of crossing her arms. I began inching away, my destination being the cafeteria.

"Watch where you're going, Top Heavy!" I winced as the comment reached my ears. Lucy despised that. I quietly opened the door, scurrying in. I closed the door softly, my eyes darting all around. Finally finding our group, I ran over, dodging some of the people in my way. They all looked up as I came running. I slammed my hands on the table, closing the mouths that were going to ask questions. "Lucy and Cobra are arguing in the hallway, again!"

They all groaned, getting up from their spots. As much as they knew about Lucy and Erik's arguments, and as much as they complained that they did it everyday, they could never pass up a single fight. Actually, I think there was a bet placed to see who won the most arguments in a year, the numbers tallied then. So far, they were tied.

Gajeel, Gray, Erza, Mira and Natsu had decided to follow me. We came out of the cafeteria, pushing our way to the front of the crowd. I always hated how many people were drawn to their fights, but I guess that's what you get when two of the popular people had arguments. Our group were cheering Lucy on, smiles on our faces. She could be scary at times, this was one of them.

I felt a hand brush against my own and I looked up, wondering who it was. Pink, sorry salmon, hair greeted me. I blushed bright red as Natsu looked down at me, bright grin on his face. I adverted my eyes, but couldn't fight the smile when my fingers were intertwined with his.

We had drawn a crowd and I heard my friends all cheering for me. I would so win this!

"With a face like that, you make blind kids cry."

I glared, wishing my eyes were lasers. "I may love to shop, but I'm not buying your bullshit."

"Well I could agree with you," He leaned in, his face only inches away from my own. "But then we'd both be wrong."

I copied him, going on my toes. We were so close, I could feel his breath on my face. "It's kind of sad, watching you attempt to put all your vocabulary in a sentence."

He didn't reply, just stared. We were glaring so hard, you could almost see the electricity crackling between our eyes. I watched as he glanced down, I licked my lips. A silent agreement and promise for later. He backed off, shoving his hands in his pockets. "Whatever. I'm out."

People moved to the sides, letting him out. I kept my eyes on his retreating figure, coming out of my daze when I got a rough pat on the back. I blinked, looking back. Red-hair and brown, smiling eyes came in my line of sight. "Hey Erza."

She nodded placing her hands in her hips. "You did well Lucy. I'm very proud."

Two arms went around my shoulders. "Yeah Luce! You did great!"

"Good job, Luce. You showed him who's boss."

I smiled at Gray and Natsu, giggling as they glared and began fighting. Erza quickly broke it up, hitting the two of them on the head. They turned away, pouting. "Thanks guys!" I nodded to Gajeel, who looked at me with approval.

The crowd has dispersed, some going into the lunch room. At the thought, my stomach growled. Everyone looked to me and I placed a hand on my stomach, my cheeks tinted a light pink. "Can I eat now?"

Chapter one! I'm so sorry that it took me so long, but I couldn't come up with any good plots or stories for this pairing. Plus I had already promised myself it would be a high school AU.

I'm hoping that this won't be a long story, maybe ten chapters or so.

I hope you liked it! Leave your thoughts in a review!
