Suddenly
Chapter One
The Raven Boy Meets The Blonde Girl
A beautiful morning bestow the Fairy Academy, the sun shines brightly up in the cerulean sky but cool and refreshing spring breeze gushing softly. The beautiful sakura trees are full bloomed spreading the fragrant sweet scent. Students are busy chattering with their friends as they wait for the bell to sound but not a certain raven-haired boy whose eyes are busy reading his notes. He is none other than the top student amongst the second year students; Gray Fullbuster.
It had been his habit to make sure that he reads all his notes before the class starts, rather than waste time chatting with his classmates. Not that he needs it but he just prefer to do it.
Besides he will be the representative of their Academy for the upcoming National Quiz Bee. He has work after school and his only time to study is before the class starts and in his vacant hours he shouldn't be overconfident with his knowledge though he is actually considered as a genius.
He always aim to be on top ever since he was a little kid that he is always chosen as the representative for such events as Quiz Bee. He is a consistent top one since he started studying and that is the reason why an orphan like him had manage to study in an extravagant school such as the Fairy Academy.
He has big dreams. To make that all happen he must graduate with the highest honor in order to have scholarship and enter the best University in Fiore. Winning the National Quiz Bee competition is a good background for a college scholarship.
"Hey Gray!" Loke blissfully approach towards him making the girls inside the classroom go ga-ga and squeal crazily as they see the number one heart throb in their Academy who happens to be his close friend. The blonde blew a kiss to his fan girls making Gray shook his head with grin, he's used to his friend's flirtatious actions.
When Loke got near him, he toss him a flyer. His eyes descended on it. It's an announcement about the upcoming Student Council Election. It says that it will happen in four weeks and the due of passing the application form will be this coming friday.
"I know you are interested with that," the lad with a long and spiky strawberry blonde hair took the seat beside him wearing a smirk on his lips.
"Of course I am, you know me too well man," the raven haired boy punch Loke's shoulder playfully. He always aim to be the council president. He knows that being a council president is another good background when he apply for a college scholarship in the future.
"I will help you with the campaign!" Loke enthusiastically exclaimed as he adjusts his eyeglasses. "I will use my super good looks and charm all the girls to vote for you."
His eyes sharpened. "Are you trying to imply that I will win because of your charm and not because of my abilities, hn?"
"Sort of, ha-ha!"
"The students will vote for me because I am a model student, got that?"
"I believe in your abilities, man! I always do! But in order to have a landslide victory you need my charm," Loke defended then his happy exterior change into a gloomy facade. "Aren't you happy that your bestfriend is here to support you all the way?"
"Don't start that drama, Loke." The bell sounded signaling the start of the class. "Oi, go to your classroom now."
Loke stood up. "Hai, hai. I will tell the others about your candidancy."
"Alright..." Gray looked up at him and grinned. "Thanks."Loke grinned back and bumped his fist against his.
A huge smile is plastered on Lucy's face as she patiently waits for the editor in chief in the office of the Fairy Academy's Gazette. She just can't contain the excitement inside her heart that she didn't mind waiting at all.
Lucy Heartfilia is a freshman who came from the wealthiest family in the City of Magnolia. She just join the club a week ago and she came to see the editor-in-chief on her lunch break for her very first assignment as a new writer in the Gazette.
A few more minutes past until a girl with a long scarlet hair came. She's the one she's been waiting for, Erza Scarlet, a third year student and the editor-in-chief of the official publication of the Academy; the Fairy Gazette.
"Hi, Lucy, " the girl greeted her with a smile. "Sorry for keeping you waiting," she said apologetically and took the seat behind the desk.
Lucy waved her hands in the air. "No, it's fine Erza. I just came anyways."
"Alright then are you ready for your very first assignment?"
The blonde nodded vigorously with a huge smile.
"Lucy! Over here!" Levy's high pitched voice caught her attention once she stepped inside the school's cafeteria. Then she saw her new friends; Levy Mcgarden and Wendy Marvel. Both has blue hair but Levy's hair was style in a short layer while Wendy has long locks. Levy and her are just the same age they are both sixteen but Wendy is just thirteen. She's a girl genius who skipped middle school but Lucy didn't care about age in friendship.
Lucy gracefully tread towards her friends and took the seat with them still wearing her bright smile. "So, did you meet with the editor?" the young Wendy asked her.
"Yes, I've met her and she gave me my first assignment. I'm so excited!" Lucy giggled.
"So what is it?" Levy inquired with a raised eyebrow.
"I will cover the National Quiz Bee and have an interview with our school's very own representative, the prodigy Gray Fullbuster."
"Wow, that's a good but hard assignment as a newbie, Lu-chan," Levy remarked and sipped in her iced tea.
The blonde nodded. "I know but I'm actually happy about that because it means that Erza believes that I have potential. I always dreamed to be a writer and this is just the start. I will soar high as a writer!"
The two blunette clapped heartily at Lucy's determination.
"Gambatte, Lucy!" the two said in unison.
"Thank you girls, I love you both!" Lucy giggled and hugged her two friends. "Anyways, do you know who this Gray Fullbuster is?"
Levy shrugged. "I just know that he is the top student in the second year and a genius. Just like you, I just started studying here this school year." She shifted on her seat and face the younger girl. "Wendy, maybe you know him better than I do since you've been studying here since Elementary and you are both considered genius." They both looked at the younger girl with expectant eyes.
Wendy started. "Gray Fullbuster is a popular student not just because he is genius but he is also known for his good looks and snobbish attitude. I've never met him personally, our Academy is quite huge and he is in High School and I was in Elementary."
Lucy's lips formed an 'o' after Wendy's words. "A good looking but snobbish genius, I suddenly want to meet him..."
"You will really meet him since you need to interview him," Levy said.
"Right!" Lucy said. "I'll just buy food." Then she stood up and walk her way towards the counter but she halted when she realize that she left her purse on the table. She turn around and to her dismay someone suddenly bumped into her, something soft squeesed against her left breast. Her jaw dropped as she saw a slice of a squeeshed blueberry cheesecake on her chest then fall down on her new signature shoes!
With boiling anger she looked up at the one who bumped to her and saw a guy with a raven and spiky hair gazing at her with a knotted forehead. What, it seems like he is not planning to apologize to her? Lucy snapped and shouted at the boy before her. "How could you stain my dress and ruin my new prada shoes?! Aren't you gonna apologize at all?" She had caught the attention of the other students in the cafeteria.
The boy just smirk and shook his head. "You are the one you who bumped into me," he reasoned out.
"Of course not! It is you who bumped into me! I will report you to the discipline comittee," she said exasperatedly.
He crossed his arms against his chest still wearing a smirk on his smug face. "Under what offense? For ruining your new prada shoes?"
"You purposely smack that cake on my chest," she said with her chin held up high. "That's act of lasciviousness."
"Really now?" His smirk grew wider as he stare down at her chest liberately. "You know, I can wipe that stain off your chest but will you let me?"
Lucy's face went red upon hearing his words and slapped the raven boy's cheek. "Pervert!" Then she storm off the cafeteria with fast and heavy steps.
Gray touched his reddened cheek courtesy of the blonde chick that he just encounter. He just follow her with his gaze as she walk out of the cafeteria.
He heard a whistle and saw his close friends approaching. "We saw that Gray," Natsu said and encircled his arms around his shoulder.
"Why didn't you apologize?" the big guy Elfman asked him. "Apologizing is a man!"
"Girls as beautiful as her shouldn't be treated that way. You are no gentleman at all, Gray," Loke remarked.
Gray let out an audible breath. "I was about to apologize but she shouted right on and to think that she's actually the one who bumped to me, I got pissed off. I hate brats like her."
"But admit it, that brat is a hottie," Loke said with a naughty smile.
Yes, Loke is right. That blonde was indeed a hottie that made him speechless as he looks at her face when he was about apologize. An attraction that easily evaporated when she opened her mouth and shouted at him...
