Kick Seven: Dan Straight
Previously on FPG:

Natsu's gaze was glued to Lisanna and the phone. Lucy had refused to use any profanity, even if she wanted to.

"Lucy!" A voice called from the other side of the room, making Lucy gaze there.

And guess who she saw?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lucy's stomach twisted, looking at the boy who called her name. "Uh..."

The whole student body watched as Lucy and this unknown man 'talked'. Lucy's eyes squinted. "Wait a minute," Lucy's mouth curved, "Dan!"

Dan ran up to her, giving her a fist pump, making Natsu's blood boil. "What's up Lulu?"

'Lulu?!' Natsu thought, his fists clenching, making his knuckles turn white.

"Nothing much," Lucy answered, "But, can you stop calling me 'Lulu'?" Lucy chuckled, rubbing the back of her head.

"I guess," He sighed.

"Anyways, what're you doing in town?" Lucy asked, not noticing the crowd getting thicker.

"Well, we moved back here. My dad was offered a higher job." Lucy nodded.

"Well, I've got to get back to this one." Lucy pointed her thumb toward Mira.

"Alright, see you later!"

"Bye!" Lucy called, waving.

The whole crowd 'awwwed' and 'ooohed' making Lucy sweat drop. Mira swallowed, looking at Lucy. "Here's your phone," Mira let the remaining pieces of Lucy's phone slide into her hand.

"Dad isn't going to be happy about this..." Lucy sighed, sweat dropping.

"So, who's that?" Mira asked, expecting an answer.

"That would be Dan Straight, he's my childhood friend." Lucy beamed, smiling at Mira.

"I see," Mira put her hand on Lucy's shoulder, whispering, "Looks like Dragneel watched the whole thing," Lucy refused to look at him. She just nodded.

"He can think what he wants to think," Lucy waved it off with her hand, taking her seat.

After an hour and a half, Mira and Lucy walked out of their first period.

"Wow," Lucy started.

"Wow," Mira repeated.

The girls had gloomy aura's, seeing as they have a partner project. Lucy was paired with Lisanna, and Mira was paired with Natsu. "How could this day get any worse?" Mira asked, rhetorically.

"Mira?" Lucy started, earning the eyes of Mira, "Do you think what Lisanna said is true?"

Mira sighed, "The kissing thing?"

Lucy nodded, unsure of what she was going to say, "Honestly Lucy, I'm not sure."

Lucy sauntered to her locker, opening it up. She placed her books in it, in exchange for more books. After she was finished, she followed Mira to her locker. Mira was doing the same when they saw Natsu coming down the hallway, and boy, he didn't look like he was in a good mood.

Lucy simply avoided his gaze, letting Mira be her eyes. "Lucy, it looks like he's coming this way," Mira whispered.

"Great," Lucy remarked sarcastically.

Natsu walked up to the both of them. "Lucy,"

"What?" Lucy hissed, glaring daggers into his soul.

"I think you and I both know," He sighed, "We need to talk."

"Oh, so you finally want to talk about it? What? Did you grow your big boy pants?" Mira growled, Lucy putting a hand out in front of her.

"Calm down Mira," Lucy sighed, closing her eyes, "The war hasn't started yet."
