Hey guys. Here is the second chapter. I hope you will enjoy reading it!
Levy's place was about a ten-minute walk away from the guild. She always crossed a bridge on her way there. The water was a clear shade of blue and there were always ducks around it. Usually she would bring little crumbs of bread. As the ducks saw Levy they instantly surrounded her.
'I am sorry, I didn't bring bread for you today', Levy said to the ducks.
Levy had been so busy preparing for the contest that she barely ate herself. She decided to go to the guild and grab a bite there.
When Levy entered the guild the cheerful Lucy instantly greeted her.
'I was starting to get worried about you', Lucy told her friend.
'I am sorry, maybe I am taking this contest too seriously', Levy replied.
'Oh nonsense, there is nothing wrong with being ambitious', old Makarov interfered.
The entire guild started to laugh at the remark of the Master. Of course it was clear to all of them that Makarov was very eager to get his hands on the cash price.
'Haven't seen you around a lot lately shrimp, I have missed you', Gajeel said. Levy's cheeks turned red the moment he approached her. And it got even worse when she remembered what she was wearing. She thanked him while starring at the ground. That's when Lucy winked at her. Lucy was very much aware of the fact that Levy was crazy about Gajeel, the dangerous iron dragon slayer. Levy decided it was now or never and decided to go for it.
'Gajeel, would you mind helping me prepare for the contest', Levy managed to get out.
Everyone in the guild looked at them, not fully understanding how Gajeel could help Levy prepare in a contest about IQ.
'Sure shrimp, no problem', Gajeel answered.
And just like that it was done. Levy didn't realize what just happened. Did she really ask Gajeel to help her prepare for the contest? That would mean that they would be spending a lot of time together! She was so happy and so stressed at the same time. Now a harder task awaited her. She had to make Gajeel fall in love with her.
