Everyone froze and slowly walked backwards in tiny steps, staring straight into Lucy's burning eyes. She glared at them with all of her might, a low growl escaping her lips.

Gajeel sweated a little, blinking under Lucy's cold glare."I asked you a question," Lucy slowly said and narrowed her eyebrows. Jellal in the meanwhile, was too shocked to say anything, but didn't stop Lucy from glaring at his fellow friends.

Jellal was irritated, the fact that he was seen sleeping with Lucy was horrible. If someone other than the Student Council saw him, he would be dead."Well?" Lucy said, tapping her foot impatiently as the Student Council sweated.

Heck, even Erza was nervous. After all, if she said something wrong, what would Jellal think?Speaking of Jellal, why was he sleeping?Erza blinked and sighed through her shaking lips, "Jellal. You're the President, why did you sleep?"Jellal froze and chuckled nervously, "I was too busy doing the papers last night and didn't get enough sleep."

Okay, so that was true. He didn't sleep that much last night. The papers were piling up day by day. Most of them were complaints about a certain blonde delinquent. "Well… that's new," Laxus mumbled and Jellal glared at him.

Minutes later, everyone still didn't give Lucy an answer. The blonde kept her hands in the pockets of her skirt and glared at them all, "If this goes out, I'll kill you all." She kicked a bench and it moved a little.

She left the room and slammed the door shut, making the others cringe."Damn, she's scary," Gray was the first one to speak. Jellal sighed, "Right.."

"But still… finding you and her sleeping is…. Weird," Levy said and Mira smiled."Let's just forget about everything and-"

"Kyaa!"

The whole student council froze and heard people chanting,

"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"

Jellal face palmed, "That's her, isn't it."

"Yep," everyone said, deadpanned. And soon, everyone rushed out of the Sakura Room and went outside to see Lucy facing a guy who snarled at her.

"You dare kick me?" he yelled and Lucy looked up at him through her bangs. He was awfully tall. Lucy gave him an expressionless look and let out a small smirk.

"Is that an invitation? Or a question?" Lucy asked, and Jellal's eyes turned into equal signs."Don't stop the fight!" Levy whispered in his ear and his eyes went wide.

"Levy, that's wrong."

"Just don't stop it!" everyone whispered loudly and he sweat dropped; nodding."Don't make me lose my patience," the guy, or which was named Jacob, growled and Lucy blew her bangs out of her eyes. "Get lost."

"That's it!" he charged at her and Jellal was about to stop it when Gray blocked his way, looking at him with serious eyes. Jellal cursed in his head and backed away, watching as Lucy ducked down and lifted her hands from the pocket of her skirt, then clenched them.

She kept her hands close to her chest and kicked Jacob from the side."I don't apologize to people who sexually harass me," Lucy bluntly said and punched a guy running towards her, making him fall to the ground with a groan. Jacob stood up and brought out a knife.

"No!" Jellal yelled but once again, was stopped by his friends.Lucy moved her head to the side as Jacob moved his hand and sliced the knife in the air. Lucy ducked under his arm and grasped it, twisting it. She used her other hand and held Jacob's hand that held the knife, trying to make him let go.

"D-DAMN YOU,"

Lucy growled, her arm shaking as Jacob's grip on the knife tightened. "No one rejects me," he whispered in her ear and Lucy rolled her eyes. She lifted his chin up by her elbow and smiled sweetly.

"Sorry sweetie but everything doesn't go your way."

Distracted, Jacob didn't notice the knife slipping out of his hand.Lucy slid on the floor and caught it, tumbling backwards, she pointed the knife to his neck.

"Game over."

The crowd cheered and Lucy tsked, biting her tongue. She threw the knife somewhere near the Student Council and walked away. "Confiscate it Prez," she said and shrugged.Jellal frowned and watched as Lucy walked away but then sighed.

"So troublesome.."

(っ◕_◕)っLUNCH
Lucy was with Jellal again for Lunch. She honestly wanted to eat alone but Jellal feared that she might get into another fight. "Gee, I can't eat in peace anymore since I met you," Lucy mumbled and Jellal glared at her.

"Why don't you eat with someone that is also troublesome other than me?" Lucy asked and sighed before feeding herself.Jellal watched how he ate. It was creepy and so out of character of him but he noted at how she ate like a princess.

But she was a delinquent, so it was confusing. He also noted at how whenever she ate, her bangs would be out of the way. Her hair would be pulled back and tucked behind her back. Lucy looked at him from the corner or her eye and let out a small smirk,

"Well well, isn't this surprising. Jellal Fernandes, the almighty Jellal Fernandes, is checking me out."Jellal twitched, "I was only keeping an eye on you! Stupid."

"Well…. That was too much of 'keeping an eye on me'," Lucy said and smirked smugly before pulling out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth.Truly like a princess.

"Can I ask something?" Jellal asked and Lucy's eyes flickered over to him. "What is it?" she said and Jellal breathe in.

"How come you act like a princess when you're a delinquent?" he finally asked and Lucy raised a brow in amusement.So he noticed? Don't tell me he's not the only one… Lucy thought and stayed silent for a few seconds before she sighed and leaned back on the wall of the Student Council room. She debated on whether she should answer his question truthfully, or lie.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" she asked teasingly, and Jellal felt his eye twitch; annoyed.

"I asked you a question," he said firmly and Lucy stayed silent before closing her eyes

"I don't tell my deepest, darkest secrets. Especially to someone who apparently loves stalking me," Lucy said bluntly and Jellal glared at her, his eyes twitching to the fullest."I didn't know it's wrong to ask a question," Jellal sarcastically said and Lucy almost let out what seemed like a snort and a laugh at the same time.

But she shut up after that and Jellal realized what she had just did."Did you just….. laugh?" he asked and Lucy smirked smugly. "It's wrong to ask. And no, I didn't laugh. If I did then it would be fake. I was mocking you," she said and the smug smirk on her face widened.

Jellal glared at her harder, "Way to ruin the mood, idiot."

"Why you're welcome," Lucy said and dodged the book that was sent flying her way. Lucy straightened her back and nearly glared at Jellal, "I was eating!"Jellal put up a mask over his shocked expression and snorted.

But Lucy just reacted rashly about him throwing a book while she was eating. So she doesn't like being disturbed while eating? What a pig, she'll definitely get fat,Jellal grimly thought and shook his head."Well, you were mocking me. It was payback," he countered and Lucy scowled; glaring at him.

"You're so childish. I never heard of anyone speak about you being so…. So… childish," she said and scrunched her face in disgust. She lifted her spoon and put it in her mouth. She pulled the spoon out and began chewing, ignoring the glares Jellal sent.But then, a smile spread across his lips. Why?Because Lucy was finally talking more, and wasn't causing THAT much trouble than before.

"The way you suddenly smile is creepy," Lucy said and narrowed her eyebrows while wrinkling her nose in disgust. Jellal twitched and glared at her, "Shut up!"

"As you wish," Lucy said and shrugged before she continued eating.A few minutes later, Lucy still didn't speak. And Jellal felt shock rise up to his face. She just did what he told her to do; shut up.Now, the silence was killing him. He used to love the quiet and chilled walls of this school.

But now, he didn't know why he felt so uncomfortable. He just finished his lunch minutes ago so he just stayed with Lucy for a while. Then, Lucy's phone rang and she looked at it and her eyes dropped in a bored and lazy manner. But when Jellal looked closely, he saw a hint of anger in her eyes that flared and deepened through her lazy eyes.

Lucy tucked her phone back in her pocket and resumed eating, and at the same time, staring into space.Lucy looked under her tie and looked at Jellal, waiting for something. Jellal blinked and his eyes widened. "R-Right! You can speak now," he said and Lucy nodded, clearing her throat.

"Well, there are five minutes before the bell rings so I suggest we leave now. Or since the Student Council can just stay here and finish some annoying papers, you can just stay here. Since that is what you do," Lucy said and packed her lunch box away. She fixed her cardigan and she breathe out; a puff of white smoke let out.She hissed loudly as her head started banging. I need to sleep… she grimly thought and closed her eyes tightly.

Jellal noticed this and was about to ask but Lucy already went walking out the doors.But then he heard her voice.

"Hurry up before you arrive in class late, prez."

AFTER SCHOOL \(^o^)/
"Ahh! Finally, the weekend that awaits us," Levy said and stretched her arms, earning a sweat drop from her friends.Yep, today was Friday and tomorrow was Saturday. And that meant no school.

Everyone was ecstatic, they jumped all around. This week was really tiring, and everyone didn't know why. Even Lucy was relieved, being the delinquent she was. But since she is a delinquent, she hid her smile of relief behind her straight, thin lips.

"Even Heartfilia-san is happy. I can tell she's hiding it," Loke said and smiled smugly, making Jellal shrug, but he smiled as well. This week really was tiring, especially after Lucy came and caused a lot of trouble.

Soon, everyone started walking out the gates of FTA, one by one. Lucy was in the crowd and slipped away easily; unnoticed. While the Student Council just waited for everyone to leave to talk about some matters, or talk about what to do for the weekend.

"How about we eat dinner at this café near the city?" Levy suggested happily and everyone began humming. Levy's smile dimmed as they still hummed, wondering if they had enough money to eat dinner at…. At a café.

"I'm fine with it," Loke said, winking. Levy smiled but rolled her eyes,

"Thank the heavens that you're rich."

"Why don't you pay for us then?" Gray asked and Loke twitched.

"No way," he said and Natsu scowled. "What a douche," he said and Loke twitched once again; offended."I'll go as well. My mom's coming home late anyway," Gray said and Erza also said she'll come.

After a few more seconds, everyone had said that they were coming. It's been a long time since they've went out together as a group after all.The gang decided to call Gajeel and some other guys to come with them.

Minutes later, the gang was now walking towards the café Levy was talking about."I heard that they have the best sweets ever!" Mira squealed when Levy told the name of the café. Levy nodded and Jellal sighed.

"But having cake and bread for dinner?" he said; unsure. Gray rubbed the back of his neck in uneasiness and silently agreed with Jellal."Oh don't be such a baby!" Mira yelled and Erza licked her lips, muttering, "Cake," over and over again. Jellal sighed,

"Fine."

"Yay!" Levy yelled and began skipping on the street, earning looks from other people.When they arrived at the café, Levy immediately burst in and already sat on a large table far in a corner.

The rest of her friends followed and slowly began to sit down around the table Levy had chosen."What do you guys want to order?" Levy asked.

"Cheesecake," Erza said and everyone smiled at her. The Student Council knew her love for cheesecakes or any other particular cakes.

"I'll have uhh…." Gray trailed off, not knowing what to order."A strawberry milkshake and a vanilla cake," Gray said and they nodded. Sadly, Gray always didn't know what to order so he'd always pick randomly.

However, even though his order was picked randomly, it always ended up as his favorite flavors."I'll have the usual," Mira grinned and Jellal sweat dropped. Mira always had the usual, which was: Cappuccino, an oreo cheesecake and a cinnamon roll. It's amazing she's still not tired of ordering the same thing at a café, despite the different flavors.

"Anything that tastes close to metallic," Gajeel bluntly said and Levy sweat dropped at him. Gajeel has somewhat a love for food that's flavor is close to metal, no one knew why.

"Is there any spicy food here?" Natsu asked and everyone shrugged. Natsu has a craving for spicy food and surprisingly, no one knew why.

"Aww…. I'll just order a cheesecake like Erza then. Oh, and I want a strawberry milkshake as well," he said and grinned, making Gray glare at him."Stop ordering what I order, flame brain," he snarled and Natsu glared at him.

"I can order what I want, popsicle!" Natsu scowled."Well, I ordered mine first. So that means you should change your order!" Gray hissed."Stop it!" Erza growled and the two just glared at each other before relaxing in their seat.

"I'll have….. the same as Mira-nee," Lisanna said. The sisters usually ordered the same thing so the gang was already used to it.

"Hmm… I'll have a sandwich and a chocolate milkshake," Laxus said and Gray looked at him cheekily. "What a soft drink, fit for your soft side," he said and grinned widely. Laxus glared at him and Gray shrugged innocently.

"Juvia will have water and a blueberry cake," Juvia said and Gray mentally sighed. Juvia loves water, sure, it was normal to love water but… she drank water ONLY. And she only drinks other drinks when forced to.

"I'll have a watermelon shake and chocolate muffins," Jellal dryly said. Everyone gave him a look and a knowing smile grew on their face, except Laxus who decided to just stared at him. Jellal liked chocolate things, but only showed it to his friends.

He also has a craving for watermelon shakes since he finds the drink so delicious and irresistible."I'll have the same as Natsu. And don't you dare say I copied you, bastard," Loke growled at Natsu who glared at him.

"Fine, I won't say you copied me. I'll just say you mimicked me," the pinkette said and smirked triumphantly. Loke twitched and sighed, massaging his temples. Loke, always just orders what his friend orders because he doesn't like racking his brain and searching for what to order.

"Too bad Laki's not here," Mira said and smiled sadly. "She's spending less time with us than before, but that's fine. She has a life after all," Erza said and everyone nodded.Levy called a waitress and she said their orders.The waitress left and they all began talking and sharing stories.

"So… what do you guys think of Heartfilia?" Gray started off. Jellal's eyes snapped to him which went unnoticed. Gray had this longing look on his face that made Jellal slightly annoyed, and he didn't know why.

"I think she's awesome!" Natsu and Levy both exclaimed and Loke grinned. "She's very strong. It's my first time seeing a girl fight Jacob. That man is really annoying," he said and shrugged, a smile on his face.

Mira pushed her lips up in wonder and she smiled, "I think she's very beautiful. It's too bad she's a delinquent."

"You're right about that. I've heard rumors that a lot of boys already confessed to her," Lisanna said and looked up, remembering the memory."If only she would give them a chance. I heard that some boys even gave her chocolate and roses, but she turned them down," Mira said and Jellal sighed.

"It's her, we can do nothing about it," he quietly said which none of them heard, thankfully."Well, I for one think that she is just waiting for the right guy," Levy proudly said and Mira suddenly squealed. "I agree with Levy on this one! What if she's just waiting for her prince charming to come? After all, the boys in our school arephilanderers," Mira smartly said and Loke nearly glared at her.

"I'm not a playboy!" Natsu and Gray both raised their hands up in defense. "Well, you guys aren't philanderers, I know that. Jellal hates his girly fans, remember? But Loke is definitely a philanderer," Mira said and Loke finally glared at her.

"Anyway, Lucy must be waiting for her prince charming, don't you think?" Lisanna cut in and the table went silent. But then Jellal spoke up."I don't think so. Remember that she's a delinquent."Gray's eyes snapped to him and he almost wanted to glare.Damn it. He's lucky that he's close to her or else… he mentally growled and bit back his tongue from saying something… threatening.

"Well… let's just forget about her for now and let's eat!" Mira chimed as a waitress arrived with their food. Natsu grinned and licked his lips. Then they started eating, all the while still telling stories and talking with each other.

"I wonder what it feels like to be in war?" Natsu suddenly blurted out and the whole gang jaw dropped.

."Pssh, I was kidding," Natsu said and rolled his eyes."But where did you get that idea?" Jellal asked and the pinkette turned serious, for the first time. "I heard some rumours when we were heading here, the people were talking about some war between gangs," he said and they immediately turned serious.

They may not be the one who lead other gangs, they were only leaders of a school but they can't joke around about a gang war."Why are they having war?" Laxus asked and Natsu pursed his lips."If I remember correctly… the leader of The Crossed Heart gang is a very powerful leader. And many gangs have battled her before—"

"Wait, the leader of The Crossed Heart is a girl?" Gray cut in and Natsu nodded."She must be really strong…" Mira said, worry etched all over her face."Yep. And they say that she holds something very… powerful. All of the gangs searched everywhere for that item to find it in the hands of The Crossed Heart. Unfortunately, the leader holds that item very dear and swore to never give it to anyone. And the other gangs wanted it, so they fought her gang. But, she wanted to fight them all alone, and she always won. She has gained the title of "The War Maiden". Many people fear her, even though only the gangs have seen her face during the night," Natsu said and everyone shuddered.

"That's… scary," Levy said and shuddered. They agreed with her and Jellal looked down before shaking his head."Well, let's continued eating. I think that information is too much to handle," Erza said and everyone nodded.But then suddenly, something snapped inside all of them as a familiar voice yelled.

"Damn it Zen! I told you to put a wet floor sign here or else I'll murder you!"Gray and Jellal turned around so fast that the gang only saw a blur. Their eyes widened and some of them jaw dropped.

Jellal couldn't believe his eyes. There, right over the counter, was Lucy Heartfilia dressed in a white short sleeved blouse with ruffles in the middle of the chest part and a red skirt. She wore a white frilly apron over the skirt and was wearing white-mid thigh socks with red high heels.

The edges of the sleeves of her blouse were ruffled up and she wore a red and white frilly headband over her head.That wasn't what surprised them though, she was acting different. She had this angry, irritated, annoyed and weird look on her face instead of a blunt look.

"I said wait ma'am!" A boy with messy blonde hair and green eyes said and arrived with a wet floor sign. He placed it down and sighed before meeting Lucy's eyes, "There, happy?"Lucy smiled sweetly. "Thank you," then her smile vanished and was replaced by her blunt look.

Jellal let go of a breath he seemed to be holding a few seconds ago. At least she still has the blunt look. But still… who would have thought that she worked at a café? He thought.

"Princess, what shall we do for the night? More of them are coming," the boy named Zen said and Lucy narrowed her eyes, the Student Council still unnoticed."I don't know, I'm tired, and stop calling me princess. School is tiring especially with the president stalking me every minute and every hour," Lucy said and groaned, massaging her temples.

Jellal nearly blushed in embarrassment as his friends snickered at him.

"But… they are coming non-stop! It will fall into their hands if you don't… don't see them!" Zen exclaimed and Lucy narrowed her eyes."Then I will think of something…"Jellal and the others only could only stare at each other, sweat sliding down their foreheads.
"What in the world is happening?" Gray asked and Jellal swallowed a lump in his throat.

"I don't know…"
