Chapter 25

Lucy's pov

"Ah girl I'm so sorry that happened to you, we can all go out shopping. Like the doctor says it's therapy. We can't deny doctors orders" Levy sings happily. "I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm not going anywhere" I tell her. She just shakes her head at me "too bad bitch because WE'RE ALREADY HERE"! Screaming into the phone and I cringe pulling it away from my now damaged ear. She's not lying I go to look outside and there they are. I sigh coming down the stairs and meeting them. I grudgingly get in the car this is going to be great. I try on a Brown haired wavy wig with a beach side part and damn I look good. That is once I look at myself in the mirror at the store that we walked into. "Yasss bitch" Michael a friend who considers himself one of the girls says. "Strut it mhm" I turn around in my like 5 inch heels. It feels like I'm on a runway or something.

I'm going to break like an ankle wearing these. Putting one leg in front of the other kind of crossing over each other. Mira hears the song in the mall first" who run the world"! She screams. "Girls" we all say in unison walking in sync with each other. "So what's it been like without us?" Levy asks while going through another rack of clothing in the store. She's been at this awhile now it's ridiculous. "Clearly you didn't miss us much" Mira says pouting at me. "Well I did, but was just adjusting to the new place. At first he didn't permit me to visit any one but now I can" I explain to all of them. "Yeah because Laxus likes youuuu! Michael sings nudging me. I flinch at the mention of his name not wanting to think about it.

I check the time on my watch and realize its getting late. so I of course quickly change the topic. "Anyway where do y'all wanna go next? We can eat or continue shopping if you're not hungry. You can all decide together I'm fine either way" I throw in nonchalantly shrugging my shoulders. "Ok let's eat!" they all decide together. Sprinting as fast as humanly possible to the escalator tripping over each other in the process. I'm just standing here doubled over laughing at them. I love my friends and wouldn't change them for the world. With of course Erza in the lead with her heel on Michaels stomach pressing down a little but not enough to hurt him. Waving her baton around in the air. All of them are starving and I followed them in the casual pace.

Pretending not to know them for fear of embarrassment. They quickly inhale their food in a matter of minutes before I even get mine. I make a quick decision on this pizza place. We were in the food court. Its a place called Sbarro grabbing a peperoni pizza. I think pineapple is wrong on pizza I'm a purist. These uncultured people eat that kind of stuff which should be a crime. Anyways this place has like everything ranging from pasta, pizza, salad, bread sticks and much more. It's delicious but a bit pricey to me at least."Gotta take this call brb" Mira says holding up her phone.

"Ok we'll be right here at the same place" to confirm I say that. Juvia talks about a co-worker doesn't like, Levy has a new boyfriend, Erza is getting married and Michael got a promotion. That's all we caught up on and Mira still hasn't come back yet. They all have a lot of really interesting stuff going on in their life right now. Although that doesn't stop me from being worried about her. I'm trying not to be worried about her focusing on the story at hand and nodding in all the right places. My fingers are drumming on the table waiting patiently for them to finish. Until the spotlight is turned on me in this conversation. "So any new developments with your boyfriend" he teases wiggling his eyebrows. Levy jumps in and saves me by saying "leave her alone."

He puts his hands up in surrender which I get since he didn't know what happened. I shoot her a grateful look which she sees. My other clueless friends clearly don't pick up on that. I excuse myself to use the bathroom. Then here comes Mira waltzing back in with a guy who's like a foot taller than her at least. Is he secret boyfriend or something? I approach them "oh this is who you ditched us for, him." I point right at his chest and she looks down a bit sheepish at me while shaking her head. "It's not what it looks like" that's a new one. "He's here for you" she says catching me off guard. "Um ok" I turn to him "Hi. I am Lucy, sorry about that. It's nice to meet you." Holding out my hand for him to shake which he takes and I pull back briefly after.

"Yeah you too" Kyle said flashing me a dazzling smile. It is perfectly straight pearl white teeth. I don't know what it is about him but he makes men uncomfortable. I got goosebumps from him earlier and not the good kind. I'm trying to get away from him. "Let's take a walk" he says to me leaning kind of in. I look at Mira for help and she just nods encouragingly. I beg her with my eyes hoping for one last chance. She pretends not to notice and pushes me along. Here I am being towed away will meet with him for away from here. I guess if she can trust him and we're friends then I can too. Thankfully we were never alone together. We just regroupe with the rest of the squad.

For some reason he's laughing and a joke Michael made Kyle put his arm around me. I got very unusually still trying to move away. I can't seem to get farther away from him at all. I just don't feel comfortable anyone touching me. Especially bitch back up we just met tonight and you're already trying to make moves on me. I quickly shake it off focusing my attention elsewhere. The amount of food that the boys just consumed over this amount of time was crazy. I ate maybe a 10th of that if even that much. We slowly started to head out all of us going different ways. When they all saw him they suspiciously had to be somewhere else after this. Now it's just Kyle and I in the mall parking lot.

Maybe a 10th of that. We slowly started to head out all of us going different ways. When they all saw him he had to be somewhere else after this. Now it's just Kyle and I in the mall parking lot. It's dimly lit here by lights on the ceiling that are old and flickering. "You can go my car is right over there" I said politely pointing towards it. He still doesn't move I roll my eyes and slide into the driver seat going to close the door. He stopped it from closing "I'm coming with you" leaving no room for debate as he hops on my right. "Ok I guess where to?" He directs me to a restaurant that looks fancy. I looked down art my clothes and realize that I'm actually dressed for the occasion. I take a deep breath stepping out of the car taking in the scene. He's at my side as soon as I get out.
