My Guardian

●with a multitude of stories started I've found its easy to start a whole new story and forget the others BUT I have the chapters for my other stories planned...just need to write them haha. So for those of you who've noticed I'm starting stories and it seems like I've given up on them or have forgotten about them that's not true. I'm currently in college, have a job, and things just have a way of interrupting you know? But enough of my babble, this is something of a test story seeing as I've never written one like this (but it's also an idea I really like) so stick with me and if you guys wouldn't mind leaving a comment telling me what you think it would really help me out. Thank you guys so much and hope you enjoy!●

Prologue: Invisibility

~Levy~

The main thing I hated about our school's library was that it was too small. Title, genre, and length were limited to books the principal assumed we needed or would like. I much prefered the public library, but I would have to wait for the final bell to go there.

With a sigh, I placed the small book of poems back on the cart of returned books and looked over the selection once more. I could easily complete my essay if I wanted to, but my professor insisted I use references from our library. What didn't help me at all was that the books I needed were on shelves I couldn't quite reach.

"I hate being short."

I said to myself as I walked to the end of the issle hoping to find something I could use on a lower shelf. Seeing as I refused to ask for help knowing a comment on my height would be made. When I neared the end of the issle I heard his gruff voice and stopped.

"Hurry up will ya?"

He asked. I had a pretty good idea who he was talking to and when she answered my heart sank.

"Juvia will just be a little longer. You're impatient."

She said with a giggle. I slowly peeked around the corner to where the tables for studying sat in the center of the library. Sitting at the table nearest to the main desk was Juvia and Gajeel. Depression suddenly tried to tug my heart and mind away when I saw the couple. I had gotten a crush on Gajeel some years ago but, of course, it was one-sided. I was invisible to him and the only time I seemed even remotely was in English or Science class. Can you guess why?

Ignoring the feeling, I returned my gaze to the books and when I looked up I saw it. THE book I needed. Without thinking I reached for it, my fingers just barely touching the spine. I was up on my tip-toes and reaching with a small aggravated groan when a shadow came over me. There was a heat coming off of whomever it was and I instantly fell back down on my feet and pulled my arms to my chest. A part of me had hoped it was him after seeing me fail at retrieving my book, but it was a silly hope. The arm that appeared over my head was most certainly not Gajeel's. Whoever it was grabbed my book with ease and pulled it back. I would have to turn to thank the person and retrieve my book from them.

My eyes stayed on the floor as I turned until they met black boots. I looked up and found that the person was tall like Gajeel if not just a little shorter and was not male. She was holding the book out to me and when I took it I held it to my chest.

"Thank you."

I said quietly. She nodded and walked towards the door to leave.

●whoa a prologue has never been that long xD●
