"She is so into you. It's kinda pathetic." My buddy Laxus said across the table from me. I cracked open one eye, and looked across the light cafe too the blue haired, tiny girl who quickly looked away from me and back to her book. I grunted in response, and closed my eyes again.
"Why should I care what she likes?" I mumbled, moving my zig-zag bandanda from my hair, to my eyes with my thumb. Laxus laughed and shrugged indifferently.
"All I'm saying is you can have some fun with her. She's cute enough." He said, taking a swig of his soda. Since this was a public place, and they were only eighteen. I moved the bandana from my left eye, and peered at the girl again. She was fixated on her book, a small blush apparent on her face.
"A little flat chested don't you think?" I mumbled to my friend. He glanced over the girl, and nodded.
"Yeah, but I heard those kind of girls are the most wild in bed." He said, smirking wickedly. I smirked back at him, my attention now caught.
"What about that girl that you were fucking around with?" I said testily. Laxus's mind went blank as he tried to draw up the face of the girl that I was referring too. When it seemed as though he had nothing I sighed.
"Tall, busty, white hair?" I said. His eyes widened, and he grinned.
"Ah yes! Mirajane! Yes, oh yes, she was a lay." Laxus muttered. I snorted at his response, and put my feat up on the table. How typical of him.
"But back to the bookworm..." Laxus said, and I groaned heavily.
"I don't have time to mess around with women." I said. "Let alone flat chested, shrimps like that one." I finished jutting my thumb in the direction of the girl. "I need to focus on getting some rent money together for next month." Laxus nodded in a understanding before a thought seemed to cross his mind, and he sent his trademark grin my way.
"How about a bet?" He asked, eyes shinning, and narrowed at me.
"A bet?" I asked in a disinterested tone. He nodded, and took another drink of his soda.
"If you can get that girl too say 'I Love You' to you, by the end of next month, I'll cover your living expenses for a year!" I shook my head. Lexus's family had so much money, that I doubt they knew what to do with it. But then again, a whole year of no bills? A voice inside my head told me to consider the bookworms feelings. That doing this may actually hurt her. But it was quickly shoved aside to make room for all the imaginary dollar bills that I saw.
"A whole year?" I asked, suspicion in my voice. Laxus nodded. Knowing he had me, hook, line, and sinker.
"You got it!" He said. "But you have to start now!" He said motioning over to the blue haired girl.
"How do I know you will keep your word?" I asked him. Laxus seemed to think about it for a moment before pulling out his wallet, and handing me over 100,000 jewels.
"First months rent." He said. I grinned and snatched the money from his hand, and got up from my chair making my way to the tiny, blue haired girl.
LEVY
I can't believe how close he is! I thought to myself as I continued to sneak peaks at Gajeel. The Gajeel. The resident bad boy of our school, and the center of my affections for the past three years. Once he caught my glance and, meet my eyes for a split second before I quickly looked away. Covering my face with my book.
Did he know I was starring? Did he know I liked him? I snorted. 'Like' was a bit of an understatement. Ever since freshman year, I was utterly in love with the boy. He had saved me, after all.
I shuddered at the dark memory, and pretended to read my book, sneaking glances at the long, raven, haired man every couple minutes. He was very relaxed, and had his feet propped up onto the table, and his zig zag headband covering his eyes. Probably to keep the light out, but at the same time, he was keeping up a conversation with Laxus DeRan. One of the rich boys in my school. I quickly turned back to my book before I was caught. I had actually begun to get into the story again when a voice pulled me out of it once more.
"Oi." It said. I glanced up. And up. And up. Until I was met with the hard face of Gajeel Redfox. Starring down at me, his hands shoved into his jean jacket. He was wearing a pink t-shirt that said "King" On it, and black jeans. His silver piercings catching the light.
"Uh-" I coughed- "Yes?" I said to him, trying to maintain my cool demeanor.
"Go out to dinner with me." He said in a hard tone. I knew I had a blank stare on my face by the way he 'tched' in annoyance. He slammed down a piece of paper onto my table.
"Here is my number. I'll pick you up at seven. Text me your address." And without another word he stalked out of the cafe. I'm not sure how long I sat there, but finally I looked at the paper. Written in crude hand writting was a scribbled out number and Gajeel's name. I felt myself break out into a large smile, as I shot out of my seat, and scurried home to get ready.
Finally. I thought. I can finally tell him how I feel!
I feel like poor Levy is going to be heart broken if she finds out about this!
