"Todays the day Levy!" She hopped out of bed happily after turning off her alarm. She had hardly slept the night before, but felt so energized. "Gajeel..I'm gonna find you today!" She rushed to get ready, throwing on a yellow top and red skirt before running out of her room...and straight into Natsu.

"Oww! Lucy whatch whe-"

"Sorry about that Levy!" She looked up at Natsu, then searched the room for Lucy.

"Where's Lucy? Does she know you're in here?"

"Shhhhh... I'm sneaking out now. I don't want to get kicked today." Levy just shook her head and hurried to finish getting ready. "...Gajeel..."

For once Levy even rushed to her class building, not even one "I'm sorry" left her mouth as she pushed through occasional clusters of students. She pushed her way into the hall she had first run into Gajeel and immediately searched for him. His height, long back hair, and piercings made him stand out like a sore thumb... so where was he? "What if he doesn't show? I wonder if he's avoiding me.."

"What's wrong Shrimp? Something else knock you on your ass? Gihihi." She jumped at the sounf of his deep voice.

"Gajeel!" He stared down at her with a blank look on his face.

"Hmm? Were you looking for me?"

"W-well kind of.."

"Why? What do you want?" What did she want? Why was she so intent on finding him? Did she even have a reason?

"Hello?" Gajeel started to pat her head and Levy puffed her cheeks out

"If you want my attention you'll have to speak up."

"I uh.. Just wanted to thank you.."

"For..?"

"W-well you walked me home that night.. And I never thanked you.. For helping me with my books and stuff.."

"Sure. That it, Shrimp?"

"I guess.."

"Guess I'll see ya then." He stalked off and Levy watched quietly, regretting not saying more. "What else was I supposed to say though?"

Levy moped through her classes, daydreaming about muscles and piercings. "What is it with him..?"

"Leeevvvyyyy~" Levy looked over to see Natsu, his arm wrapped around a blushing Lucy waving to her. "Those two are getting rather close.."

"What are you doing later Levy?" He asked excitedly

"How did things go with Gajeel? Did you get to see him? Did the two of you talk?"

"Nothing, okay I guess, yes, and kind of." She quickly answered the questions hoping the conversation would flow to a better topic. "Well that's good right?"

"I don't know, he didn't seem to care much."

"Levy, you should come to the party with us tonight! Maybe you'll meet someone who isn't so mysterious."

"I think I'll pass tonight, I have some studying to do... But thatnks for the offer Natsu!" Levy waved her goodbyes and headed for the library, some books would help get her mind off of Gajeel..
