Forget Me
A/N: Okay, obviously Fairy Tail isn't mine, if it was, why would I make fanfics?
And I apologize if the characters are OOC and if the story is shitty.
Also, English is not my native language, so pardon me for the grammatical errors.
Her Side:
She peeked behind a post, looking at him with his new girl, eyes filled with pain and jealousy. She slapped her forehead, retreating behind the post, thinking 'Why am I becoming like Juvia?'
Sighing, she stole one last glance at him, his smile…
He never smiled like that whenever he was with me...
She returned to their school, walking along the deserted hallways, trying to hold back her tears. She kept staring at the lockers lined up against both sides of the hallways until stopping at a familiar one. She walked up to it and tried to open it, surprisingly, it wasn't locked. She snickered softly, thinking how stupid he is. And then jolting back to reality, she remembered what she was there for.
His locker…It was like any normal guy's locker. She frowned, the locker which was once decorated with pictures of her and him was now partially bare, only a few photographs of him and his new girl were present aside from his notes and other stuff.
Have you moved on that easily?
She sighed, pulling out a powder pink envelope. She cast one last glance at the envelope before slipping it into a notebook. She immediately closed the locker and retreated to her own, opening it. Her locker was bare, no traces of her memories with him. It was empty too; there was not a single item inside. After making sure her locker was empty, she closed it again and walked to the principal's office.
"Are you sure with your decision?" The principal would ask numerous times.
Despite being annoyed on the inside, she maintained her calm demeanor and nodded. The principal sighed. "Fine. You may go now, but remember if you ever want to come back, our school is waiting with open arms."
"Thank you." She responded, adding a sad little smile before leaving.
Their paths crossed just as she walked out of the building, her all broken and alone and him, already moved on. He held his girl's hand as they entered, he seemed happy but as she passed by, he couldn't help but glance at her with a hint of longing.
As soon as she got out the building, she felt her heart shattering further, if it was possible to break it more. Has he already moved on that fast? Did he ever really care for her? It was a 6-month relationship for f*cks sake! And it all ends up like that? From inseparable lovers to strangers who barely utter a word to each other. As if she could utter a single word to him without breaking down, though. She loved him so much, but he broke her heart and immediately replaced her with someone new.
"F*ck." She hissed, feeling a tear roll down her cheek. She immediately ran as fast as she could just as the downpour of the salty liquid came. She didn't even know where she was going, all she knew was that she was running away and she couldn't see a thing clearly, her vision blurred by her tears.
"Damn it!" She cursed as she tripped and fell. She didn't bother standing up; she just let it all out and cried. After a few minutes, she stood up, not bothering to wipe away her tears since they would come again sooner or later. She looked around and realized she was in a forest and what she probably tripped on was a root. Refusing to go back in the horrendous state she is in, she decided to trudge deeper into the forest.
After a few minutes of walking, she felt the light patter of rain on her pale skin. She cursed under her breath once more as she immediately ran deeper into the forest just as the rain intensified. With the slippery muddy forest floor beneath her and a spider web of roots, it didn't take long for her to slip, trip and fall.
"Damn rain." She hissed, clutching at her now-bruised leg which apparently landed on a rock. "Ouch!" She hissed once more, feeling the sharp thorns of a nearby bush scrape her arms. She decided not to move any further and look around to find that she has stumbled into a cluster of thorny bushes and with every movement of hers, the thorns would scrape her skin.
"F*ck this. I'm going further." The girl cursed, standing up and immediately having her legs scratched and the dress that she wore torn. She immediately ran out of the cluster of bushes she unconsciously ran into, ignoring the stinging pain from her arms and legs and ignoring the fact that thin lines of blood started to ooze out from where the thorns had scraped her.
The rain was pouring full-force now, she could barely see the path ahead of her, but that didn't stop her from running deeper. She just had to get away from the pain, she refused to turn back at all.
Meanwhile…
Her Friends' Side
"Ice cube, have you seen Luce?" A pink-haired man approached the said person.
"No, I was going to ask you where she was, actually." He replied, scratching the back of his neck.
"Hey Levy!" The pinky called out upon spotting the said girl's blue-haired best friend. And upon hearing her name called, Levy turned around and walked over to the two guys.
"Hey Natsu, what's up?" She asked the pink-haired guy.
"Well, we were wondering if you've seen Lucy." The other guy asked.
"Oh… I haven't seen Lu-chan since Saturday. Sorry, Gray." Levy responded sadly.
"Damn it, where could she be?" Natsu muttered, looking around the hallway, searching for even a trace of their blonde-haired friend. Natsu perked up as soon as he saw blonde hair, but it was only Sting with an unfamiliar girl holding his hand.
He scowled; Luce wouldn't like seeing him with another girl. He walked up to the blonde with Gray and Levy trailing behind.
"Sting." He hissed, sending a glare towards the said person.
"'Sup, Natsu?" He casually asked the approaching male, oblivious to the glare he was sending his way. By the time Natsu reached him, the girl with Sting has already left.
"Are you cheating on Luce?" He straightforwardly asked, causing Gray and Levy, who were standing behind him, to sweat drop and face-palm.
"She hasn't told you guys yet?" Sting's eyebrows furrowed in confusion at the accusation.
"What do you mean?" Levy asked, also confused.
"We broke up." He simply said.
"YOU WHAT?!" A furious redhead, who popped out of nowhere, yelled, causing a few students to look at them.
"Calm down, Erza." A blue-haired guy, Jellal, told her.
"No, I won't. I told you not to hurt her!" Erza yelled, obviously furious.
"YOU!" Erza turned to Sting, rage filling the redhead's eyes. "You'll pay for hurting my friend."
"Erza, calm down!" Mira, who just arrived, said. She pulled the girl away from Sting, who was already scared.
"Look, I want to hurt him too." The white-haired female started, sending a death glare towards Sting before continuing. "But Lucy might not like that."
"But - !" Erza tried to reason but she knew she won't get the chance to win that argument.
"I wonder why Lu-chan didn't tell me that." Levy wondered out loud. "Sting, since when have you two broken up?"
The blonde-haired male counted on his fingers. "Last Friday, why?"
"And you've already moved on?!" Mira asked with rage. With that question, Sting looked down, avoiding any eye contact.
"Mira-nee!" A white-haired girl with short hair walked over to the group. Upon seeing her sister, Mira calmed down a bit.
"So? Have you moved on, already?" Mira asked again, in a much calmer tone but anger still evident in her voice.
"I'd rather not answer that." Sting sighed, his thoughts filling up with images of his blonde ex.
"Anyway, have you seen Lucy?" Gray asked, trying to keep himself from attacking the bastard.
"I just saw her walk out of school a while ago…" Sting replied, remembering how the girl looked as she passed him a while ago.
"Does she plan on skipping classes?" Natsu asked, remembering that in a few minutes, classes will already start.
"Apparently, Miss Heartfilia has dropped out of this school so she won't be taking classes here anymore." An adult's voice interrupted the teens' conversation. They all looked to see whose voice it belonged to and saw their principal.
"What?! What do you mean Luce dropped out?" Natsu asked, feeling a mix of confusion, anger and disbelief.
"Show some respect, Natsu!" Erza barked, lightly hitting his arm.
"As I said, Miss Heartfilia won't be attending classes here anymore." The principal repeated stoically. "Now go to your classes before the bell rings." After saying that, the principal walked away.
The group immediately dispersed to go to their respective lockers, leaving Sting confused in front of his own locker.
"I wonder why Lu-chan never told us any of those." Levy wondered while gathering her books.
"She probably has her own reasons, let's just respect her decision." Erza managed to say, although she still had a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"I'll give her a call later." Lisanna suggested, zipping her bag closed and waiting for her friends to finish.
"Good idea, Lis." Natsu said, struggling to close his bag. Lisanna giggled at Natsu's struggle and helped him close his bag.
"Thanks, Lis." Natsu smiled childishly, causing the said girl to blush lightly.
"Let's go." Erza called out, slamming her locker shut. The group once again dispersed to go to their separate classrooms.
His Side
After her friends and the principal left, he just simply stood there, shocked. Why did she leave? He groaned and hit his head on his locker.
'Damn. I promised I'd move on'. He sighed and turned around, opening his locker. He quickly gathered his stuff and carelessly dumped them into his bag before shutting the locker close and walking to his classroom.
As soon as he arrived there, he plunked his bag down on the floor beside his seat and sat, pulling out a random binder from his bag and burying his face in it. Images of the blonde suddenly flashed in his mind, causing him to sit up immediately, trying to shake his thoughts about her away from his mind.
"Good morning, class." Their Science teacher greeted as soon as she entered. They greeted back and as the lesson started, Sting noticed he brought out the wrong notebook. He immediately searched his messy bag for the thin notebook in which he kept his little notes. After finding it, he flipped it open so he could pretend to take notes but as he opened the notebook on a random page, an envelope appeared.
He took it out, sniffing the power pink envelope.
'It has her scent on it.' He thought, once again remembering the girl he tried so hard to forget. Why was he being serious? He's a player for f*ck's sake! He shouldn't feel guilty for dumping a girl and replacing her with another one quickly. No, he shouldn't be thinking about getting back with the blonde he dumped.
'I do reduce, but I don't reuse and recycle.' He hissed under his breath as soon as the thought of getting back with an ex crossed his mind.
"Mr. Eucliffe, are you listening?" Their teacher barked at him. His head immediately shot up just to face their furious teacher's face. He slowly shook his head, a sheepish look on his face.
"Listen next time or else I'm giving you detention." She hissed just as the bell rang. Sting sighed, thankful that he escaped his teacher's wrath. Now, he only has to survive until lunch.
**Time Skip**
It was finally lunch time. The students all piled out into the hallway, going to the cafeteria or wherever they usually go to while some remained in their classrooms. Just as Sting stood up to go eat lunch with his best friend, he remembered the envelope and retrieved it from his bag before dragging Rogue along with him to eat lunch. But before they go to their usual spot, Sting stopped by his girlfriend's classroom, immediately spotting her heading out with her friends. He lightly tapped her on her shoulder and once he got the girl's attention he gave her a quick peck earning squeals from his girlfriend's friends.
"See you after school?" He asked her, giving her a charming smile. The girl flushed and nodded.
"I'll miss you." She whined, slightly pouting and earning a chuckle from Sting.
"It's only a few hours. Besides, you'll see me for a long time later." Sting said, turning to leave. "Bye, don't miss me so quickly."
After that, he and Rogue walked out and went to the back of the school building. At the back of the school was a wide grassy field filled with trees and flowers, some students sat there and ate their lunch, but that's not where the two are going to eat. Instead, they walked further into the field, finally stumbling upon a group of trees and walking through it and at the end, it revealed an old wrought-iron fence which was barely standing straight. The two jumped over the fence, landed on the ground and walked towards their usual meeting spot with their other friends. It was a bit further into the area and it was near an old abandoned shack which used to be the library. There was a cemented portion of the ground in front of it and in the middle stood an old dried-out fountain and stone benches circled it. As soon as they reached the place, they saw their friends waiting for them.
"Hey. Where's Orga?" Sting greeted as soon as they arrived.
"He's not here yet." A man with long blonde hair answered, shrugging.
"If he doesn't come within the next five minutes, we're eating without him." The only girl in the group, Minerva, said.
While waiting, Sting remembered the envelope she must've left for him before dropping out and took it out from his pocket.
"Ooohhh… What's that, a love letter?" Rufus teased upon spotting the envelope the other blonde held.
"Someone's not going to like it once I tell them that you got a secret admirer." Minerva teased.
"Shut up." Sting growled, opening the envelope and revealing a neatly folded letter. Unfolding it, he saw her familiar writing which was all curly but neat. Since Orga hasn't arrived yet, Sting decided to read it.
