This story has been going a lot faster than I thought! I am already pretty far into the story for three chapters. I originally thought it would be around 13 chapters and now I'm thinking it's going to be around seven or eight.

Also this chapter is very short and I am sorry, but I hope you like it anyway.

JUVIA'S POV

Gray and I are both staring up at the perfectly white celling, talking, sometimes laughing. "Then when Natsu saw me behind him he glared and backed away until he fell into the garbage." He smiles, I giggle at the story. "Juvia can't believe that she missed that." Gray looks at me and smiles brightly before looking back to his celling.  

 I turn my head to look at him. We spoke at most two times in middle school and I hated it, the nervous thumping in my chest would never stop. But now was different.. I really liked to talk to him, even though the nervousness never seemed to die down even from when I was a kid. 

His short raven hair seemed to spill from his head as his laid on his big, soft bed. He must have felt me staring at the side of his face because his head turned towards me, I let out a loud squeal and fall off the bed with a thump on the ground and a red face. I hear a roar of laughter follow admittedly after.

"You look so stupid," He laughs as he looks off the side of the bed at me. "Juvia doesn't My face only gets hotter as I stumble to get back on my feet. I look at the clock, 12:30 in big, red letters. I sigh and look at him. His eyes followed mine to the clock. His eyebrows furrow.

"I'll drive you home," he says blankly. I huff as he grabs my hand and drags me to his car. As I get in his face catches me off guard. Disappointed and annoyed with a stain of red littering his face.

My heart gets stuck in my throat and my face flushes. It felt exactly like how it used to be when we were kids. Then I realize.. that I am in love with him, and I have been for a long time. His icy eyes pierce through me, I look away in embarrassment. "What are you looking at?" He asks blankly. I could only mutter,

"Nothing.."
