~Lucy's POV~

It was Tuesday in the morning. Bruises appeared on the places where Lisanna and her friends hit me.

No way I'm going to cover it up though. That's just like saying she's won and I'm humiliated because I don't want anyone to see.

I went to my friends, shock was all written on their faces.

"Who did that to you? Was it Natsu, I swear I will make him pay," Erza said with an angry yet worried expression.

My heart swelled. I had real friends.

"No," I said, appreciating it nonetheless.

"Then who was it, Lu-chan?" Levy joined the conversation.

"It was Lisanna and her friends."   Immediately all their faces went to Mira. Her hands were clenched and she looked ready to commit murder.

"Lisanna? How could she? She really turned into a bitch. I heard it and thought it was just gossip, guess not. I will talk to her later," Mira said, defeat in her voice.

I really feel her. If my brother was like Lisanna, I would kill him.

We walked the school in. I saw pictures of me with the shaving cream of yesterday everywhere. People were laughing, can't blame them. If it was someone else, I would laugh too, unfortunately it wasn't.

"Ignore them, don't let them get you," Juvia said to me with an arm around me.

I smiled. "No worries."

Soon Lisanna walked by. She tried to trip me, but Mira stopped her foot before she could.

"What happened to you, you were sweet before, what happened Lisanna?" Mira was upset. Her frown on her face wasn't usual.

"Nothing, this is the real me, get used to it Mira," she answered arrogantly.

Then Mira slapped Lisanna. Everyone that looked this way were shocked. Same though. I never thought Mira would slap her. Lisanna gasped and held her cheek, murder in her eyes.

I saw Natsu walking by, grinning. Not to me but to Lisanna. He had a 'you deserved it' look. Then he walked away with Gajeel.

"What the hell, Mira?" Lisanna said as she grabbed a tiny mirror, looking at the red place. Shouldn't you be more worried about your relationship than your looks?

"You deserved it. I am very ashamed of you and so is Elfman. You hurt several people, including Lucy. You will pay for that. And I assure you, you will regret what you did," Mira said, trying so much to calm herself. Her shoulders were tense as she looked at Lisanna.

It was scarier if she talked in a calm voice than in an angry voice. It meant she was beyond pissed. We tried to calm her but it was no use. Only Laxus can calm her. Luckily he came and calmed her. I found out that he was her boyfriend. I was happy for her. Even if Laxus hangs out with Natsu, he is still a good boy.

That sounded weird to say about someone who's twice as big as me.

We walked the class in, we had first period together. I sat down next to Natsu, I couldn't change spots. He asked me if I was okay to my surprise. I nodded and went back to work. First period was almost over so I packed my stuff like everyone did in the room.

Soon I saw Natsu smirk. He was definitely planning something.

The bell rang. I wasn't done packing so I was left with Natsu who was still sitting. I walked to the door but it wouldn't open. And there wasn't a teacher. I tried to open it with force, but failed.

What the hell?

"Are you done yet?" Natsu asked still smirking while walking to me.

"Stay where you are," I demanded, he didn't listen, of course. He pinned me to the wall next the door.

"Don't you miss something?" Natsu said, his face dangerously close. I pushed him away and searched in my backpack.

"No," I said, having a sinking feeling about this.

My heart dropped when I noticed the bracelet in his hand.

"So this bracelet doesn't belong to you?" That was my mother's, it was the only thing I have left from her.

"Give. It. Back," I said as scary as possible. I didn't care that I was missing my second lesson now. Unfortunately Natsu didn't look affected by my tone.

"Do you want it back?" he said, but he surely knew the answer already. I knew where this is going to. He wanted something from me.

"What is your condition?" I rolled my eyes.

His hand came to his chin, like in a think manner. Seriously? He didn't even know what he wanted, idiot.

"You're gonna be my slave for a month. You'll follow all my orders with no complaining. If you disobey it doesn't end well and you have to be nice to me. Until then I give it back," He stated, proud of what he thinks.

My mouth fell to the ground. I know it sounded not worth it, but my bracelet is precious to me. He chuckled at my face. "Deal or not?" he said.

"Fine, you win. But if I see a scratch on the bracelet you are dead, understand," I said, hoping I wouldn't be regretting my decision. "Besides, stop with the slave. You're low."

"Yes. I will guarantee it that it won't have a scratch. It will start now, the deal," Natsu said. I nodded. Then the door opened and a teacher walked in.

I felt like Natsu wasn't as dangerous as he liked to act. It seemed like he was just looking to have fun. And apparently his definition of fun is messing with me.

"Don't you have class, Ms. Heart and Mr. Dragneel?" the teacher said.

"Yes sir, I was just helping Lucy get something. We will be going now," Natsu said. He was polite... Does he have a twin? He grabbed my hand and we walked to our next lesson. We got detention, but I was used that I would get it if I was with him.

"Mind explaning why you were late with Natsu," Mira said while wiggling her eyebrows. I explained the whole story with the deal etc.

"You're very stupid, Lucy. You will soon regret it," Erza said eating her strawberry cake. Does she eat something other than cake?

"I agree with Erza, Lu-chan. Natsu can make you do horrible things if you have to obey every order." Levy looked worried. Seriously she's always worried. And I appreciate it, but I can stand up for myself.

"Yeah, I agree too. Even though you are my love rival, you are my friend too," Juvia said.

"Well, too late," I said. Then I remebered something I should tell.

"Oh, by the way I forgot to tell you guys something." I explained the whole incident yesterday, Natsu saved me blah blah blah.

"Yes Nalu in progress," Mira mumbled something like that. Please let that not be Natsu x Lucy.

"Yo, Luce!" Well, shit, that was Natsu. We all turned our heads to him heading this way.

"What do you want Natsu? And Luce?" He is so gonna tell me to do something.

"First of alll, that is your new nickname, pretty cute if you ask me. Second, I want you to do something, but your friends have to move," Natsu said.

A tick mark appeared on my head. My friends should leave? I groaned, knowing I better get over it. I turned around to asked my friends to go away, to my surpise they were already gone.

"So what do you want Natsu?"

He smirked.

"I want you to take a bite from this and swallow it." He showed me a sandwich. It looked normal, but why would he want me to eat that? It was probably gross.

I slowly took a bite and immediately I felt a burning sensation. It was spicy and I had to swallow it, I did it finally. I still felt the sensation. I saw a bottle with water by Natsu and took it without asking. I drank it, but it was as gross as the sandwich.

I spat it on Natsu. Everyone in the cafeteria gasped. This was not gonna end well, I thought. Natsu twitched his eyebrows.

He leaned closer to my ear. I stood shocked, not knowing what he is going to do.

"After school. My house. You will receive punishment... You better be there." I felt shivers. He walked away after I felt something above me.

Someone put a garbage container over my head. I lifted it up away from my head, but all the dirt fell on top of me. Natsu laughed and walked away. He said: "Nice one, Gajeel," and they high fived.

I wanted to say harsh words to him, but couldn't. Everyone took pictures of me or laughed instead.

I breathed loudly. How mean can you be? I thought he was okay after some stupid pranks. But this... seriously?

My friends are somewhere too, if I can call them my friends. Real friends would still be by my side. Where they hell are they?

I ran home, not caring that I have school. Some tears slipped out of my eyes.

Damn it, he made me cry. Levy was right. It was all about the damn humiliation.

I remembered that I had to go to Natsu house after school.

I checked the clock and school was finished an hour ago. Shit. I sprinted towards Natsu's house. Still with all the dirt in my clothes. I knocked and he opened with an unreadable face.

"Finally, you showed up, I was thinking you didn't care about your bracelet." He let me in and we walked till his bedroom. I have to buy a timer.

"What do you want, Natsu?" I asked with a tiny bow to show some respect, I think. He gave me notebooks. I stared at him confused. He sighed.

"You have to do all my homework and you have to sleep here tonight as your punishment. You will meet my parents and I'm going to introduce you as my girlfriend."

"What? Your girlf—" but then I remembered the rules; no complaining. So I nodded instead.

"Great, now begin," he ordered while grinning this time. He lay on his bed. I began doing his homework, no wonder he wasn't smart.

"By the way, if you're done take a shower," Natsu said. I just nodded, not sparing him a glance.

Later he went outside and returned with a new set of clothes.

"Here. These are from my mother, but I think you'll fit in them," he said softly.
