Gray closed his locker sighing, the school was always frustrating with his fan clubs.

Closing it and gathering his patience with a breath. He extended his legs out in a strut not caring about whatever drama, people, or actions took place. Even though he was smiling some thought he was scowling, and he in fact was. on the inside.

That was until he was filled to the brink of pleasantry confusion when he saw her walk in. Messy sexy hair, dark hooded eyes, and thigh highs going past her knees. Nothing about her was proper, correct, or right. Is that why he was interested in her? When her familiar blue eyes landed on him she smiled, waving at him.

Gray wanted to groan when he saw her slightly messed up lipstick. Who the fuck messed it up? Why was she here?

"GRAY MY LOVE!"  "KISS ME!" "HAVE MY KIDS!"  "YOU'RE SINGLE NOW?!"
He sneered at them before preparing to run. Juvia only laughed out of confusion when a hurdle of girls ran after a sprinting Gray. There were at least 100 girls.

"That's what's keeping him fit." did that ass deserve it? Yes, yes he does. Walking her way through the halls almost smiling from ear to ear she arrived at homeroom. Setting her bag down, she got herself seated and stretched. A moan fell out of her lips and she closed her eyes relaxing.

A door slammed shut and her eyes snapped open to see a hysterical blonde. "Am I late?!"

Juvia smiled "Only ten minutes." when her face formed into horror she couldn't help letting her laugh go.

"Nah I'm just messing with you, you're 1 minute early."

The pretty blonde girl scoffed with a relieved smile. "Jeez, that's not very nice," she said lightheartedly. Making her way towards a relaxed and calm Juvia she held out her hand. "I'm Lucy."

Her strong hand met her pedicured ones. "Juvia, the fresh meat. Yo lucy you got any info on this school?"

The chocolate brown of the girl's eyes twisted in discomfort. "Well since you're pretty the popular girls are gonna try to hurt you. The people of this school are intimidated and compete with everyone. I'd rather stay out of it all."

Juvia winced in disgust "have they ever tried to hurt you?"

Again, lucy looked uncomfortable as she shifted in her seat. "Well they try to, but usually Natsu or Erza scare them off. But.. if they're not here like right now they would hurt me." she almost whispered, looking into Juvia's diamond eyes. She was worried for her truly.

Juvia saw the bruises trailing up her arms and her eyebrows dropped. Grabbing Lucy's hand she grabbed all of her attention. "I'll be your friend. I can keep you safe." she watched as a tear fell out of her eye and her arms squeezed her tight in a hug.

And Juvia felt happy to have a friend. "Alright, first things first. Who are these girls?"

A soft smile was etched onto the girl's face, and Juvia wondered how someone could want to hurt her.
"Their names are Abigail Sheeny, Jameson Trint, Angel Sorano, Victoria loft, and June Felt."

Abigail Sheeny

Jameson Trint

Angel Sorano

Victoria Loft

June Felt

Juvia nodded, soothingly humming. "Let me guess they each have a class with you."

Her head bows down onto the table in sadness. "The only one I don't is homeroom and study hall." it came out almost like a groan, wishing nothing more than to have a different schedule, but they didn't let her.

"Can I see your schedule?" Lucy said more cheerfully, and Juvia was sure she was just trying to get away from these girls in any aspect.

Handing her the white slip her eyes lit up. "oh my god! We have lunch, history, math, and swim!"
She clapped her hands together with a look in her eyes reciprocated by Juvia.

THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN!

..............

Gray grumbled something incoherent under his breath when erza broke them up. "What was that?!" Natsu raged reaching for him again.

"I SAID you're dumbass can't even get out of the friendzone." and even more irritating to Natsu he was cockily smiling. Like he won. Cocky prick.

" Yeah, and according to June your dick is small-"

"ENOUGH!" erza snapped hitting them both with a monster strength. Knocking them out to sleep on the floor. shaking them both awake angrily, she pulled them up. "You both are going to go to your classes, and BEHAVE! GO! NOW!"

Shook awake, the boys responded to her monstrous yelling by running off, and in Ezra's head, they weren't screaming like they were. Dusting her hands off she grabbed a blue-haired boy's hand with a sweet nervous smile. "Let's go Jellal."
"Of course, scarlet." He chimes charmingly kissing her on the cheek.

From a distance, Natsu and Gray could be heard arguing again over the stupidest things as they made their way to class. They both found it as a stress reliever in some weird way.

"So let me guess you broke Angle's heart so she's gonna be an even more bitch to my Luce. "

"It's Angel."

"Angle, Angel. Tomato, tomatoe."

"It is nothing like that."

"Yes it is, you hit none of her angles."

Gray snorted hitting him in the back of the head as his friend laughed throwing his head back. What an idiot.

"Bro I had her calling me daddy."

"Ayeee, yes sir!"

They dabbed each other up, with their signature handshake. Both laugh as they head in different directions.

"See ya ice princess!"

"Later Flamebrain!"

Natsu couldn't wait to see Lucy, he had 3 classes with her this year. Lunch, LA, and science. Erza only had 1 class with her this year. So he was loathing those girls more than usual. They had more opportunities this year. And he'd be dammed if they tried again, but luce would tell him. So he has nothing to worry about.

Heading his way to LA, her innocent brown eyes snapped to the door and she smiled excited to see him again. Natsu tried to be cool and walked over with his heart pumping. "What's up mi amor?"

Why is he talking like that? She laughed holding out her hand for their signature handshake. "I made a new friend, she's really cool. What about you?"

Ruffling her golden blonde hair he sat down throwing his backpack off. "Well Luce, I was thinking we should go somewhere today after school. You in?"

He leaned in close to her, waiting for her to answer. He was really hoping she'd say yes.
His spiky salmon hair revealing his pleading onyx eyes made her smile softly. She could never say no to this big baby.

"I'm in!" it came out louder than she expected, but radiated energy throughout her body.

"AYEEE! Let's go! The whole gang's gonna be there. "  she knew she had picked the right choice when he smiled up at her like she made his day.

"So who's your new friend?" he asked playfully, hiding the intent in his voice. Better not be a boy. Better not be another boy.

"Her -"
The first word made him almost jump up and dance. even though they were only friends.

"name is Juvia Lockser, yk the new girl. I was thinking about bringing her to our lunch table, but I wanted to ask you guys first."

Happy as could be Natsu twirled her hair between his fingers. "Anything you want."

"What about lok-"

"No." he deadpanned shutting even the thought down before she could start.

A laugh erupted from her insides, and she hit him playfully. She just couldn't wrap around her mind the argument they had last time.

"You never liked Loke."   FACTS! A FACT! Why would he like a guy who tries to touch his girl?

"Well duh, he's a perv." What a hypocrite.

"So are you?" What is she talking about.

"Excuse me?! I am no such thing." who's managing this guy's brain.

"I have been sexually harassed by you at least 7 times." she kept count? Like she wasn't the one who tripped him. Talk about sabotage.

"Those were accidents! we always fall into weird positions because you're clumsy. " is he saying it's not his fault?! I mean it's not like she minds.

"Natsu you're staring at my boobs right now." he was looking at her glorious mountains.

"Sorry, they have a mind of their own." uh no, no they don't.

"Perv." she blushed, holding in another laugh because she wore this shirt just for him. It exposed a lot of cleavage, and it was a super cute tube top. It made her feel more confident despite her anxiety.

And Natsu well he tried TRIED not to look out of respect, but couldn't help it. Unwrapping the scarf around his neck he put it possessively around her.

"Keep this on, and I probably still will be, but just keep it on."

Cackling in a fit of giggles she weakly nodded her head at the embarrassed Natsu next to her. She wished he liked her more than just a friend. If he did-no he couldn't. She truly was just a fugly loser he'd never like back. It was just a dream, and she needs to move on. Her tears started swelling up and she put her head down to hide them from the boy next to her.

.................................................................................

Sitting on top of the desk with a slip of paper on it with her name tag. She scanned the vast white room waiting to see her classmates as she swung her legs back and forth. This position was rather comfortable.

Coming in and slamming the door behind him and out of breath Gray got her attention and she couldn't help the taunting smile inching on her face. "You're such a ladies' man, aren't you Gray~sama?"

Huh? He gulped, looking at the skin exposed by her crossed legs. A warm treacherous wave traveling down his cold body.  "Don't call me that."

Now, she smirked as she ran a hand up her thigh seductively. Her monotone voice pitched amusedly.

"Gray~sama? Who knew you had such kinks."
Gray tensed his jaw glaring at the tempting bluenette across from him. She doesn't know shit.

"Oh wait, Juvia did. " she said self-assuredly flipping her hair over her shoulder. His eyes raked over her body, she was perfectly positioned on the desk to get fucked. Over and over.

"I'm not into that, that's weird." He bluffed denying her seemingly high above look she gave him, he had too much pride to admit.

"Tell that to your boner, you slut."  she said pointing at him with clarity. Did she just objectify him or something

Raising his eyebrows he covered it up with a book taking the seat next to her with a shrug. "This slut is your lab partner." it was obvious she didn't like him, but how the fuck did she know his kinks.

" I hope he enjoys his blue balls for the rest of the year." she fired back with a contempt smile spread across her face.

"Don't worry. You're a turn-off." He closed with a smirk, only making her have a sarcastic print of 'sure' on.

The door opened snapping them out of it and in came the boring students. And as they came in they put all of their attention on the new girl sitting on top of her desk, looking at them all curiously. She didn't seem scared yet or rather caring which drew some people towards her without her realizing it.

In silence they sat down, some greeting each other. Juvia accepted the fact she came at the end of the second semester so people have already established their cliques.

"I'm not nervous if that's what your thinking."

She winked at what looked like a gloomy Gray, staring at her intently. Getting up she walled over to the biggest group slowly, taking her time to look like she was doubtful or hesitant. First impressions are big, and people are always more welcoming to people who display their emotions. Especially emotions they find familiar.

"Hey, Juvia's new and she thought you guys looked nice. " playing along and innocently tucking her hair behind her ears she looked up to them with her head tilted, flashing them a blinding smile.

"Oh my gosh! You're so cute! Are you nervous?" a girl laughed, putting her arm lazily over her shoulders. 

Juvia nodded slowly with a small smile, and the girl patted her on the back with another laugh.
"Don't be! I'm mirajane! This is Levy, valentine~,  Cana, Freed, and...oh laxus." at the end her voice turned bitter and piercing like he was somebody special.

He returned her seething glare with his own, making her face soften with sad glossy eyes.
Drilling his eyes into her he turned away ignoring her.

"Jeez, what happened between you two?" Juvia asked putting a hand on her shoulder. Mirajane turned to her more sulking as she wrapped her arms around Juvia for comfort. She was the first one who asked her. Tears fell onto her shoulder, and Juvia could feel the pain she was going through. So she let the hurt girl cry quietly into her blouse.

"I fucked up bad, but I still love him. I don't even think I can get him to come back to me." Sniffing she wailed into her shirt, looking at the comforting blue-haired girl for help. God, she must have thought she was crazy with her ruined mascara.

"What can I even do?" she asked the new girl desperately, almost hopelessly as she broke out in harsher tears again.

"Well first, let's go to the bathroom," Juvia spoke calmly wiping her tears, and taking her hand to lead the broken girl to the bathroom.  Morajane's friends were looking, and others were too, but juvia didn't care about that.

When they arrived there mirajane leaned against the sink, for support. Looking in the mirror to see her reflection.

"Lookin good." juvia said out of nowhere making Mira laugh.

"You got any advice for me?" Mira asked more comfortable now to let loose if she had to. She was never the best at controlling her breakdowns.

"Well, I need more info on what's going on and why he's mad." right. That's true. Getting herself together she looked at her directly in the eyes.

"We've had a rather toxic relationship for a few years now, and he knows I only have eyes for him. He was working on being more healthy because he felt like he could trust me after all we've been through." juvia nodded taking all of this in.

"So what did you do?" she pressed, as the bell rang signaling class starting. She figured it could wait, and waited patiently for a response.

" I told him he was like his abusive father, who he hates. But I wasn't lying he was picking on others weaker than him, and getting in fights. Drinking just goes on and on. I hated seeing him like that. It's just not my Laxus. " she whimpered guiltily scratching her arm.

"When you get to know him you realize how deeply the guy loves, feels, and how big of a heart he has. And I know I hurt him when I said that because he had a small tear in his eye before he walked out of his house."

This made Juvia grimace she only took one look at the man once and could tell he was like her brother. He didn't cry. So he had to be killed inside by what Mira said.

"You both fucked up it wasn't just you. What have you tried to do to get him back?"

Sighing with an embarrassed smile she took in a deep breath. "I apologized, tried to make him jealous by flirting with other guys, and even showed up to his house uninvited."

Juvia smiled softly at her to make her feel slightly better. "Your first mistake is by you flirting with other guys, laxus already knows you only love him. So that was a waste of time." By logic, she knew laxus loved her too. 

"What you should do is have somebody else make laxus jealous. "

Marjane waited, stopped still for a second. "You mean like a classmate, somebody interested in me?"

" yes, have this person close to him so he can hear all the things he says about you, and what he wants to do with you. Shit might get messy, but you'll have him back. Act like you can't hear the flirting and when this 'interested guy shows up act friendly almost clueless to his intentions."

Looking her up and down Mira wiped her tears , fixing herself up. "You're a mean bitch and I like it. Cmon! Let's go!"

............................................................................

A small girl in the library smiled at her best friend, handing her a book. "Lu-chan, Natsu's in love with you. I don't know why you are so worried. You should take a chance." She didn't want to get her heart broken when he said he didn't feel the same.

"Levy, I can't. Maybe one day." Levy couldn't believe what she was hearing. Puffing out her cheeks she took a nice piece of literature from the built-in wall of cryptic words.

"I'm sorry but that's ridiculous Lu, you've both been too scared to make a move. At this point, you're just wasting a good opportunity. I mean you're both so in love with each othe-"

"He doesn't love me back, how could he love me levy. Have you seen me?" She asked with a cracking voice, and it hurt levy. She stopped what she was doing to comfort her best friend. Putting her hands on her cheeks to look at her she frowned.  "Lu-chan you're gorgeous, why would you even be thinking like that. "

She looked away from her good friend. "I-I don't know. I just don't feel pretty."

Tears welled up in levy's eyes as she embraced her, in her good sweet plum scent. "Lu-chan I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. Because you're the hottest prude in this shit."

It was so unexpecting to hear that, that she howled in her tears. Levy always made her feel better about herself.

"I am not a prude!"

"I love you!" That was her only explanation as she flipped open the book she had in her hands.
