Gray Fullbuster ran his hand along the wall beside him. The cobblestone stood a foot taller than him. It stood for as long as he could remember. He was never told what it was. All he knew, was that trees were on the other side. All the adults knew. If he were to ask, they would probably tell him. The only thing was, he didn't want to ask Ur. He never like talking to her. He would rather not know.
What he did know, was that the wall belonged to the Heartfilia's. They ran the famous company Love and Lucky. Why they would have a wall only around this part of their property, was the mystery. The mystery hadn't been there forever, though.
"Gray!" Gray turned around and saw his 'friends' run up to him. He wasn't a very social person, so he wasn't too fond of the idea of friends.
"Are you heading home?" Lisanna Strauss asked. Gray just nodded. He found his destination obvious, considering he was on his rode, just a few houses away from his own.
"You should go to the cafe with us," Levy McGarden spoke.
"You have no say in the matter!" Natsu Dragneel yelled. Gray rolled his eyes.
"Why would I listen to you, Flame-Brain?" Gray snapped. He was in the town just long enough to hate Natsu already.
"What was that, Ice-Princess?" Natsu snapped back.
"You heard me, Fire-Breath!"
"Snow Cone!"
"Hot Head!"
Someone cleared their throat. "Are you two...fighting?" Erza Scarlet asked. The two boys froze.
"No ma'am! Just having a conversation!" Gray said in a worried tone.
"Good, then let's go."
As everyone was walking away, Gray could have sworn he heard laughing from the other side of the wall.
