Chapter One:
A Love Note
If I have to live through another lesson on fish I'm gonna die, Vowed Gray Fullbuster, as he walked into Professor Happy's homeroom. He took his usual spot behind Laki Olietta, who sat behind Natsu Dragneel, who in Gray's opinion, was exceedingly cute.
But no one could know that. Natsu and Gray had been best friends for all long as they could remember and best friend was all that they were ever going to be. Gray couldn't bear it if Natsu found out that he had a crush on him. He did all he could to keep people from thinking he liked Natsu, including nagging him constantly, however Gray thought it was also extremely cute when Natsu got mad, but at least he could pass off his blush as anger.
"Okay, class. Take your seats" Professor Happy called, even though everyone was already sitting down. "Today we will be talking 'bout Wels Catfish. Now can anyone name one trait of the Wels Catfish… Gray"
Gray who was zoned out completely, did not hear the question and sat there with a stupid look on his face.
"Gray" Hissed Natsu, turning around in his seat. Gray turned bright red, "One Trait of a Wels Catfish-" Natsu hissed again.
"Oh, Uh, right. One trait of a Wels Catfish " Gray muttered, stalling for time "Um, they're really yummy…" Gray said hopefully.
"Um.. yes extremely...yummy" Said Prof. Happy, going into a daze. No one could shake Prof. Happy out of the daze he went into when someone mention yummy fish, so the class was as good as over. The students stirred and some got up to talk to their friends or goof around. Gray got up and moved over to Natsu.
"Hey Na-" Gray began but stopped when he saw what Natsu was writing. Natsu looked up and hurriedly tried to shove the paper into his bag, but Gray was too quick. He snatched the paper out of Natsu's hands and began to read aloud. Many people stopped what they were doing and listened.
"Oy. look what I found," Gray called. A small group gathered and Gray had to hold the slip of paper up high, away from grading hands.
"N-No" Natsu protested, but Gray kept reading.
"It looks like a list of Natsu's crushes…" This got Lucy Heartfilia listening, it was no secret she was crushing on Natsu.
'Maybe I'm going too far, Gray thought, but his mouth moved without consulting his brain.
"With a little white heart - it looks like he rated them- Lisanna Strauss..."
Lisanna blushed but whispered, "Only a white heart…"
"Then with a pink heart, Erza Scarlet" Erza adjusted her glasses and looked uncomfortable.
"And with a red heart, Lucy Heartfilia..." Lucy squealed and grabbed Levy's wrist.
"And then with a flaming heart-" Gray stopped short and crumpled the paper saved from having to read aloud the next name by the bell. He stuffed the paper in his pocket and walked away quickly.
Cana ran to catch up and fell into step next to Gray, "So.. What is the last name on the list" She said, clinging to Gray's arm, in an attempt to be was pretty sure Cana only wanted answers so she could tell Lucy.
Gray brushed her off and kept walking his face turning steadily redder.
"Is is a girl you like..." She prodded.
Who said I like girls Gray thought silently. Gray reached his locker and opened the door. He tossed everything in and slammed the door shut hurrying away. Cana sulked off to report to Lucy and Gray faded into the crowd.
But, all Gray could think about in Aquarius's gym class, was the paper, with his name next to a flaming heart.
