*SLAP*
Juvia just watched as her so-called boyfriend walked away and put his hand around another girl's waist.
"Sigh. Well, Juvia can't really blame him." She said as she ran a hand through her red left cheek. "After all, I'd be lying to myself if I actually believe what I spat out earlier." She could only stare at a certain raven-haired man, far from where she stood, laughing with his friends.
"Come on, babe. Just one kiss." Bora said as he tried kissing Juvia again for the nth time that day.
"B-but Bora-kun, we're in the campus. You know we're dead if someone sees us." She tried to reason out.
"I really don't give a damn about them. Come on. Don't be such a tease."
His face inched towards Juvia. Closer and closer, but his lips met her cheek instead. He looked her in the eyes and saw that she was slightly tensed, looking to the side as if searching for someone. He followed her line of sight and saw that she was looking at a group of people, with a certain irritating boy with them.
"So that's how it is." he blurted out as he released Juvia's waist from his grip. "Is that why you're going all virgin type on me? Huh? Because of that stripper?"
Juvia snapped her head towards Bora's direction. "No! That's not it at all! You know I don't love him anymore!"
She felt Bora's eyes scan her face for a bit. "I bet if he's the one kissing you, you'd be damn well pleased! We've been going on this for months now, Juvia. You know I don't like waiting. Especially if I know that you'd jump right at him the moment he strides past you."
"No! Why are you saying this? I told you Juvia's already gotten over Gray-sam-"
*slap*
'There it goes. I let it slip again.' she thought as she kept rubbing her left cheek, waiting for the pain to magically disappear. 'It's better this way, though. At least someone keeps on reminding me not to go all Gray-sama-crazy again.'
*Bzzt. Bzzt* Juvia snapped out of her thoughts as she felt her mobile phone vibrate in her pocket. She got a text from Gajeel.
'Hey, crazy woman! I have football training today
so I can't walk home with you. You fine on your
own or d'you want me to ditch practice today?' - Gajeel
'I'm fine on my own. Besides, a lot of students
live near our house. Have fun on practice!' - Juvia
'Silly Gajeel-kun, thinking I'd make him skip training just to walk home with me.' She was already walking out of the campus when she was slightly pulled backwards by a pair of hands. Apparently, she was going to walk straight to a pole without noticing it.
"Wow, either you're thinking deeply or you're going blind for walking straight to that pole alright." Gray said, amused.
"Ju-Juvia was just- I wasn- I- the post-." She babbled.
Gray laughed. "It's okay, y'know. Just don't go bumping into other poles next time." He said, smiling.
"Yes!" Juvia said rather too quickly.
"Hey, listen. About Bora. I thought I saw you two earlier and did he-"
"Sorry! Juvia forgot she's got an errand to do! Bye!" Juvia dashed off leaving a stunned Gray behind.
She hid on the alley on the next street and tried to compose herself. Just now, she realized what she did and instantly felt embarrassed. What was she doing running from her Gray-sama- ...Gray-kun, whilst he was most probably just going to ask her something simple? No. No. She over acted but she really didn't want to bother Gray with anything about Bora.
She didn't know why exactly she had to run. But boy, who was she kidding? She knew exactly why she ran away...
"I can't keep looking at those eyes again..." And with that, a single tear escaped from her eye.
Hi guys! I'm new to this sort of stuff so it'd be really nice if you could give me reviews so I can improve on this story. Comments and suggestions are very much welcome! By the way, English is not my first language so forgive me if you see some grammatical errors along the way. Thank you!
