Pairings:
GrayLu (I'll probably add some more later.)
Summary:
Lucy Heartfilia had her heart broken 2 years ago. She's never liked a guy since then. What's she gonna do if the same person who broke her heart transferred to her school? Will she have the courage to move on? Or will she stay scarred for life? GrayLu (Sorry I stink at summaries! .!)
Ok so this chapter is kinda different so here are the guidelines:
Italicized means a person's thoughts or flash backs
Italicized and underlined is Lucy's conscience
Lucy POV
"Gray…"
No way…. It's him. My hand made its way to my chest and felt the necklace I hide under my uniform to avoid any attention.
"This is Fullbuster Gray-san. Everyone please be nice to him." The teacher instructed us.
I must be dreaming. He's the new transfer student?! Relax, Lucy. Don't overreact
"EEEEEEEHHHH?! GRAY?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I scream, standing up and pointing a finger at him.
… NICE Lucy, Nice…
…Whoops.
Everyone in the classroom, including the girls oogling all over Gray, diverted all their attention to me. And by all, I mean ALL.
Silence filled the room quickly. All I did was stay in my position, not feeling any guts to move.
Lucy, break the silence already and SIT DOWN!
Oh right…
"Er… I…"
"…. Pfft… Same old Lucy, eh?"
Everybody turned and faced the owner of the voice… Gray.
"You're reactions are as amusing as always… Lucy." He said, with his signature smirk.
My heart skipped a beat and I felt blood rush to my cheeks. Lucy! You're over him already! Seriously! O-oh yea! Over him. Right.
"Wha- Shut up, Gray!" I said, while pointing at him.
"Oh. It appears you already have a friend Fullbuster-san. That's good. Lucy, you will be Fullbuster-san's tour guide. Show him around until he knows or is familiar with everything, ok?" The teacher told me.
"EEH?! B-but teacher!"
"You heard the lady, Lucy." He said with his smirk still on his face.
All the tension from a while ago has disappeared and has now turned to annoyance. I can't believe this guy!
"Well, that's settled. Fullbuster-san, since you are aquainted with Heartfilia-san, please sit on the seat beside her. That way, Heartfilia-san will be able to help you with your questions." The teacher said, nodding to the seat next to me.
E-EEEEEEH?!
Without further bickering, Gray made his way to the seat, placed his bag down, sat, then faced my direction.
"Let's get along, Lucy" He said then winked at me.
I felt blood rush to my cheeks again. No, you're OVER him, Lucy! Don't give in!
I slapped myself on both my cheeks hard at the same time then faced the teacher. It won't be like last time. I've matured enough for it NOT to happen
"Ok, class, our lesson for today is..."
TIME SKIP –LUNCH TIME-
Levy and I went up to the rooftop to have lunch. At first we were talking about books with good stories. She recommended me a book entitled "Last Chance". She said it was a mystery romance novel. I wasn't really into romance novels, mystery sure, but romance, not really and Levy knew that. For her to recommend me a romance novel must mean it's a really good book. I'll search for it when I have the time. We were silent after that for about 30 seconds until Levy broke the silence.
"Ne, Lu-chan," Levy said to me and eyed me intently.
"Hm? What's up?" I replied, eating a rice ball.
"Well, what's up between you and Gray?"
Once she said that, I choked on my rice ball. Levy passed me her water bottle and I immediately took it gratefully and drank some of the water.
"Cough… Thanks, I owe you one." I thanked, giving her back her water bottle.
"No prob. Now, you and Gray?" She said, placing all her attention on me.
I looked at her for a while then sighed. "Well, I don't really know where to start, actually…. I guess I'll just tell you everything."
"I used to live in an apartment when I was a little kid. Gray transferred to the apartment beside mine during my 2nd year of middle school." I began, looking at the sky. "One day, I was being bullied and he saved me. He said that he would protect me. We began getting closer at that point. He was there for me during my mother's death and I was there for him during his parents' divorce. I began falling in love with him. The more we were together, the more my feelings for him started to grow. I've had an unrequited love for him for a year, when one day, Aunt Ur, his mother, told me that she plans on enrolling Gray to another school, I became afraid. I didn't want us to be separated, especially since my feelings for him were never noticed. One night, the night before the day Gray would transfer, I summoned up the courage to write him a love letter. After writing, I folded it neatly and placed it in an envelope. Then, I told Aunt Ur to give it to him first thing in the morning. The next day, I was running late for class…"
'Crap. I'm running late, I'm running late, I'm running late! This is what I get for taking my time in writing that letter! I wasn't even able to make myself breakfast!' I thought to myself.
After 5 minutes, I finally reached campus. I rested for a while then ran to the room. I was able to reach the classroom with a few minutes to spare and I was about to open the door when I realized. Oh no, I'm gonna have to face Gray! My heart started beating hard and I started to feel blood rush to my cheeks.
'Relax, Lucy. Everthing will be alright' I reassured myself.
After calming down, I breathed in, and opened the classroom door.
"O-ohay-" I was interrupted by murmurs growing around the room. Gray was sitting on his desk, holding a familiar piece of paper. That paper… No way. That's my letter!
He was showing it to the classmates behind him, who were snickering.
"Hey, Gray! Did Lucy really give you that love letter?"
"Yeah. Hard to believe right? But THIS is a love letter? It's more like a piece of junk!" Gray said while chuckling.
My world just crashed. A throbbing pain in my chest started to grow. It was getting harder to breathe.
"Also, this is WAY too cheesy! I mean, 'I don't want to be separated from you…'. Ugh, disgusting!" he continued, passing the paper to the classmate beside him then looked at me.
People started to stare at me. Some were giving me a sympathetic look, while others were giving me the you-deserve-it look.
No. This much attention… No more. Don't look at me!
I couldn't hold my tears any longer. They began free-falling from my eyes. For some reason, Gray looked shocked, but I couldn't care less. I'm never trusting that guy again. EVER!
My chest started to constrict and throb. My breathing started to grow irregular as I cried. Erza, a good friend of mine, approached me, blocked me from everyone's view then, ushered me out of the room. Just as she went out, she shot a menacing glare at Gray, then closed the door. The teacher just happened to arrive at that time.
"Scarlet-san, where do you think you're- Eh? Heartfilia-san, what's wrong?" The teacher asked.
"I'm sorry sensei but please excuse us for a bit." Erza said politely to sensei before taking my hand and leading me to the girl's restroom. Once we arrived there, I fell down on my knees, covered my face, and cried as hard as I could. Erza looked at me with sad eyes and hugged me.
"I'm sorry it had to be like this, Lucy… Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll never see that bastard again. It's a promise." She said to me, softly stroking my head.
"After that, Erza told me that I should go home for that day. She said she would accompany me and didn't mind skipping today. I was hesitant at first, but then I thanked her. After that, Gray transferred. I went back to class, only to be teased by my classmates. Erza was there for me all that time, and she still is now. I transferred schools and she went with me, even with her good reputation back at our previous school. I moved out of my apartment, since the moments I spent with Gray mostly happened there, and Erza asked one of her friends to let me rent one of his apartments and was able to negotiate with him to let me pay once I was old enough to get a job. I'm still indebted to Erza, even now. I don't think I can ever repay her." I said before finally facing at Levy. Her eyes looked watery and sad.
"I'm sorry, Lu-chan… I should have never brought up the topic." she said with guilt in her voice. I smiled sadly and patted her head.
"Don't worry about it. Best friends don't keep secrets from each other, right? Now, how about we go back down before we get late for class?" I suggested, still patting her head.
"Mhmm. Let's go." She replied, rubbing her eyes.
I'm not really sure what to say with this one :| Anyways, R&R Minna!
