"Hmm.... You're right. I've given you enough chances, so let's make this official!" I smirked. Ha. I've got her! I'm the one laughing now! Lisanna, however, had a look of fear spread across her face.

"Lisanna, I now terminate the contract that forces you to be my slave. Now you must return to the dungeon where you belong."

(Lucy's POV)

"Please sir, I need a job or my family will starve!" I begged on my hands and knees.
"Forget it, pip-squeak," mumbled the rather large man angrily. "I don't have time for begging little girls." I was so furious with him.

This was the stall where I bought all of father's medicine. I could see it there, sitting on the table.

That whole bottle would last for weeks!

I was resisting the urge to punch him in the face. I hate guys like him: too selfish for their own good. All I want is a job!

That bottle. I want it. No, I need it.

Without thinking, I reached out and snatched the bottle off the table, and then ran for my life.
"Get back here you thieving scum!" Yelled the man. I weaved in and out of the bustling market, dodging people and police officers until I finally reached my house.

But as I was running away, I glanced up, through a window, to see a pink haired boy staring down at me. He looks so rich. Spoilt, I bet. He is kinda handsome though...

I arrived back home and burst through the door.
"DAD! DAD! LOOK WHAT I HAVE!" I yelled, waving the bottle of medicine in my hand.
"Wow!" He yelled. "How did you get all that?"
"Well...I...uhh.." Crap.

What should I say?

"I-it was given to me." I lied. "There was a man who pitied me so he gave me the medicine." I avoided eye contact and placed the bottle down on a table.
"Ahh, such a nice man." My dad sighed. "At least we know there's someone else out there with a decent heart."

I felt so guilty. My dad is talking about genuinely kind people, completely unaware that I just stole the medicine.

I felt so ashamed.

(Natsu's POV)

"So today in history we will be learning about the war of...." I blocked out the voice of the teacher with my thoughts. Why do I need stupid history lessons? All I really need to do is know how to sword fight and have s-
"Natsu Dragneel, could you please repeat what I just said out loud?" Said the teacher.

Oh shit... Umm...

"Umm....war is a scary place where pretty women should not be!" God I hope I was right.
"Natsu, stop thinking about girls and actually pay attention in lessons for once!" She yelled. Screw that!

"Now, Igneel Dragneel and his army won the war of the...." Jeez, this is boring. I looked out the window to see the bustling market. No one looked particularly interesting, until my eyes laid upon a blond girl dressed in rags, on her hands and knees begging to a man in the medical shop.

Hey, she looks fit, wonder if she was any good in be-

"NATSU!" The teachers loud voice made me jump and a few guys in my class stifled a laugh. "Pay attention! After the war was over the people of Fiore were able to return to..."

I looked back out of the window and saw the blond girl snatch a bottle of medicine and run for it. Good for her. She looked like she really needed it from the looks of things, and some new clothes too.

You could almost see her-

"That's it! Natsu, leave at once!" She yelled. Yes! No more stupid class! I stood up and sauntered away, winking at the girls who swooned over me.

Since I was Prince Natsu of Fiore, every girl wanted to go out with me, but only for my money, of course. It's not like I'm a nice person or anything. (Note the sarcasm) So, I mess with them, make them believe I'm interested. Yeah, it's fun, but it does get boring after a while...

I left the room, a big grin on my face, and the teacher folded her arms and shook her head in disappointment.

I wonder who that girl was.
