The Runaway

Chapter 3:Magnolia

Natsu's POV

5 years later.....

Everything has change. The once happy memory we shared turned into a nightmare I don't want to remember. At least he's away from my reach, if his near me...the thought only made me cringe, the last thing I wanna be is to be a murderer. A killer. An act triggered by impulse and fury.

No, I'll handle this.

I don't hate him, I just feel betrayed, played around...

Used

It hurt. It was more than I can take. But it was not enough for me to let my insanity make the best out of me. It's best if I leave. A decision of my own to stay away.

Or so, that's what I want to believe.

I'm talking to the main staffs of the school. Specifically, the dorm supervisor,my class adviser, the Guidance counselor and the Principal.

"Are you really sure you want to transfer out?" the principal ask again.

"For the last time. Yes," I groaned. Yes,they like it when I'm here. 'Salamander Natsu' . Hearing that name can make people quiver. "I'm quite away from my family now and I wanna go back to my own neighborhood. Manoglia." I grunted.

"We understand..." the principal sighed. "I'll prepare everything and talk to Mr.Fiore. I'm sure he'll be very happy to know you're going to transfer there."

"I wanna transfer out by tomorrow....As fast as possible." I demanded. There's no reason for them to call my family since I already mentioned that I'm going home, they assumed that my family knows. But they have no clue about my transfer. Hell--They don't even know my whereabouts.

I lost contact to them, my dad excluded. No matter where I go or hide, my old man would always find me. It's amazing actually, it always makes me wonder how he does that.

"Pack your bags then. I'll do the preparations," the supervisor sighed and I nodded.

It's actually summer break. I'm at school taking extra classes that I had failed. It's boring, but it's not like I have anything else to do.

Class hours ended faster than I expected. Huh, seems like time really does fly when you're not paying attention. But, I always don't pay attention, how come today is different? I wanna go back to Magnolia. I have to admit, I miss my family....real bad, especially Dad, and Wendy and Jellal. Everyone! 

I rushed back to the dorms, my things are already in labelled boxes. The only thing left out was my laptop and PSP. Dad sent it to me as a gift. It was too much but a gift is a gift. It was a struggle to call dad, Wendy is always around him. He told me that Wendy caught him calling me, he had to lie for my sake. I felt bad for that. I really hate to lie.

But everything will change now.

After an hour, the dorm supervisor picked me up and even offered me to give me a ride to the airport. Of course, I accepted the offer. We made a stop to the airport. He helped me with my things as I made my way to the inspection area. It was a good thing I already booked my flight ticket.

"Be safe, Natsu." the supervisor said, it's actually easing me that he sent me out. I just nodded and gave off a smile.

He continued to watch me until I rode the escalator. The attendants already took my other things, aside from my backpack, and loaded them at the plane. I took a seat to my designated area and stared at the wide space of the take off.

The steward had instructed us to secure our seatbelts, as we are about to take off, and I set my phone to airplane mood and turned the others off.
