Arranged in a sudden marriage

Chapter 9

On Tuesday Natsu and Lucy walked to school

holding hands. Kids stared and teachers gawked.

Weren't they enemies only three weeks ago?

Natsu smiled a little loving the feel of Lucy's hand

in his. What they didn't get was that Natsu had

always subconsciously liked Lucy. As they walked

past Lucy's friends they all squealed a little and

one girl with long white hair passed out. He heard

Lucy giggle and smiled for the millionth time that

morning. Actually he didn't think he ever stopped

smiling. He looked over to the row of lockers

where his friends were. Gray's eyes were popping

out of his head like he thought he was seeing

things and Gajeel and Jelall weren't any better.

All week Natsu and Lucy were happy and he even

met her friends. Levy was a sweet small girl who

kept eyeing Gajeel, and trying to hide behind her

books whenever he looked at her. It was hilarious.

He knew they were dating but he couldn't

understand how a girl like her liked Gajeel . Erza

was scary. He didn't understand how his sweet

Lucy was friends with her; she kept giving him

weird threatening looks. Turns out she and Jellal

were childhood friends. They seemed a little cozy.

Cana and Mirajane were kind of inappropriate.

Cana kept cracking jokes about sex and Mira was

repeating the word "babies" over and over. He did

like them though. They all got along really well and

it made Natsu happy. They all became really close

over that single week. His life couldn't get better.

On Friday night the two of them were going to go to

his parent's house. He felt a little stupid declaring

that he hated Lucy then faking in love with her over

a month. His mom was always right. He sighed

quietly. Lucy walked in to their room holding a

huge pile of clothes.

"What do I wear?" She asked him desperately.

"Erm Luce, you have already met my parents so

what's the big deal?"

She glared at him. "Leave it to you to not

understand the importance of tonight. We are

supposed to tell them that we…" She paused a

blushed, "that we agree to the wedding. I'm sure

they would want to know."

He chuckled. "Yeah, yeah, I get it."

He picked a red shirt and black jeans off the top of
