(A/N) Here we are. Gruvia~ Oh, and it may seem slightly OOC at some points, but just go with it. Umm, I don't really have anything else to tell you, so on with the story. Enjoy! :3
I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off and I hit it groggily so it would stop making that infernal noise. I looked across the room towards my calendar and saw that it was finally the day I had been both dreading and looking forward to. Otherwise known as Valentines Day. I sighed softly as I got up. At least it was a Friday though…
I quickly got ready and examined my outfit. I was wearing skinny jeans, black boots, and a light blue shirt trimmed with dark blue with a sash going across the middle in the same color. Quickly combing through my hair one more time, I ran downstairs, grabbing a granola bar as I went out the front door. I only lived a few minutes away from the school sot walked at a slower pace since I didn't have to rush.
People were beginning to arrive as I walked onto school grounds, but I didn't see anyone I knew so I grabbed my black notebook out of my bag and strode inside. I used it as to write poems and stories, or draw when I got bored in class.
I had just reached my locker and opened up my notebook when a voice called my name. I looked back and saw Lucy waving at me. I grinned and quickly stuffed my notebook back in my bag before running down the hall to greet her.
"Hey Lucy!" I yelled as tackled her with a hug. "I'm tired."
"You're always so full of energy even though you complain about being tired." She said, laughing. "Happy Valentine's Day!"
"Yeah, Happy Valentine's Day to you as well!" I responded. "Hey, where is everyone today?! Like Erza and Mira and the rest of our friends. I haven't seen any of them yet."
"Oh, well Erza's family went on vacation with Jellal's family today, Mira's went out of town as well, Cana probably just didn't feel like showing up, and I think Levy's sick. Everyone started going on vacation!"
"Wow. Why is that?" I said laughing as we walked towards my locker.
"No idea. Discount at a hotel?" She said as I glanced at my watch.
"It's almost time for class to start! Bye Lucy! I'll see you at lunch!"
"Ah ok, bye Juvia! I need to get my books!" She yelled as she ran down the hall where her locker was located, nearly colliding with a group of people. I laughed as I got to my locker and grabbed the books I needed for my first classes.
"What's so funny?" A voice said from beside me. I turned and saw Gray Fullbuster grabbing books out of his locker which was conveniently right next to mine.
I grinned and tried not to blush. I had been in love with him since we first met. I like everything about him. He's handsome, hilarious, athletic, has a great personality, smile, laugh, and a sexy, sexy voice. I like him so much. Little does he know though…
"Nothing, just Lucy being Lucy." A small smile played across his lips.
"Ready for another exciting class with Gildarts later?"
"Yeah," I said sarcastically. "Because I always learn so much." We both laughed, since Gildarts always slept during class and hardly taught us.
"Well, see you second period. Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day." He said, walking towards his class.
"Happy Valentine's Day! Later." I said, waving and going the opposite way to my class. I sighed, but at least I had another class with him and not just math. I sat down in my usual seat by the window, and Lyon Vastia ran in the door and sat beside me.
"Hey Juvia! Happy Valentine's Day!" He said with a huge smile.
"Hey Lyon! Happy Valentine's Day to you too!" I replied.
"You look beautiful as usual today." I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye and smiled slightly.
"Thanks."
Lyon liked me a lot and always flirted with me during class, which was quite hard to ignore since he kept it up literally all class.
"So, are you doing anything this weekend?"
I tried not to sigh. "Lyon, I've told you I can't go out with you."
"Why not though?" He turned in his chair and faced me. "Can't you give me a chance?"
"I'm sorry Lyon, but I just can't." I repeated.
"Oh I see." He nodded and stood up while leaning on my desk. "You already have a boyfriend. And yet you've been leading me on all year by-"
I interrupted him. "Lyon! I don't have a boyfriend!"
"You could! Just go out with me!" He begged, pulling me to my feet.
"I'm really sorry Lyon but I-" I stopped midsentence as Lyon wrapped his arms around me and leaned in to kiss me. My patience snapped. He had just crossed the line.
"Lyon!" I yelled, slapping him across the face.
"Ow!" He yelled, letting go of me. "What was that for?!"
"You can't just to around trying to kiss people or else everyome will think you're some kind of pervert!" I hissed.
"Don't you understand Juvia?" He said softly. "I only want to kiss you and nobody else." His face fell and he sat down looking utterly crestfallen. I sighed, feeling guilty.
"Lyon, do you want to know why I can't date you?"
"Why?"
I sat back down and looked at him. "Because I already like someone else." I said, a slight blush creeping onto my cheeks.
"You do?! Who?!" He yelled. "I'm gonna find that filthy little bastard and beat the crap out of him!"
"Calm down! And don't call him that!" I said, hitting his arm lightly.
"What, you mean don't call him a filthy little-"
"Lyon, shut up!" I said as I put my hand over his mouth to make him be quiet. "Look, I may like him, but that doesn't mean he likes me!" I bit my lip to keep from saying that I wish I did.
I took my hand off his mouth. "Who is he?" Lyon demanded.
"I'm not telling you!" I replied. "I'm afraid you'll do something to him! All I'm telling you is that you know him."
"Juvia." He said, taking my hands and looking me seriously in the eye. "What does he have that I don't? What do you like about him?" I laughed softly.
"Well, I like his voice, laugh, and smile."
"I can get my vocal cords fixed." I ignored him and removed his hands from mine.
"And he's very handsome and kind."
"Plastic surgery." He said, nodding. I laughed again.
"Lyon! Stop it! And he's funny."
"I'm making you laugh right now!" He said.
I sighed. "It's not the same though, Lyon. I'm really sorry. You're a great guy."
"Juvia…" he murmured. "I won't stop trying to win your heart. I love you more than anything else."
"Lockser! Vastia! Pay attention or I'll kick you out!" Macao yelled from the front. "Damn kids…This is what I get for listening to my wife…teaching…" he continued grumbling
I muttered an apology and glanced at Lyon. I felt terrible that I couldn't return his feelings. And that the one saying this to me couldn't be Gray… I turned away before Lyon could see my conflicted expression and focused on the review we were doing on a novel we had read last week. At the end of class I gathered up my books and stood, while Lyon remained motionless in his chair.
"Lyon?" I said gently. He stood up, and looked at me wistfully before pulling me into a hug. I smiled and hugged him back before pulling away. "You're a great friend Lyon."
"Aw come on!" He yelled. "Friend zoned at a moment like that!"
I laughed. "See you later Lyon!" I said, walking out the door.
"Later Juvia!" He called. I hurried down the hall to get to class early so I could think of what I would do when I saw Gray. Obsessive much? Hmm…nah.
