Hello again and this is chapter two! I won't be able to get on the computer as much so I might not update as fast, but it all depends on if I can be bothered writing this at school. Maybe, I always have my hand on a laptop at dinner anyways so... this is pretty much the plot guys, this chapter riiighhhtt here (and its pretty dark for what I normaly write, excuse me if you think the sad scene, or whats meant to be the sad scene, looks like Gray dosent care)
I do not own fairytale, I own the thug social workers though! WOO!
Truth is, my mum isn't my real mum. She just took me in, I don't remember much from before and she refuses to tell me where and how she found me. So, yeah, I do call her mum, though she doesn't like me doing, but I can't help it! I don't know who my real mother is. It's not like I blame my biological mother, since I don't know where or who she is or why I was left.
My sister isn't really my sister either; she doesn't even live with us. She just checks up on me while mums working. Her name is Wendy and she's actually younger than me, and, unlike with mum, she was the one who subjected to call each other brother and sister. So when mum didn't get back yesterday (probably out of town mission) I enjoyed dinner in her lively presence.
It's a week since Natsu Dragneel became a pupil at fairy tail high, and of course he's been trying his best to follow me to and from school, acting like we're best friends.
"Can I see gray Fullbuster please?" The head teacher, Mr Makarov, calls after stumbling into my art class. I try to recall anything I did wrong in the past, but I can't think of anything, I was on time (pretty rare but I was woke by somebody outside shouting), I haven't been talking in class (obvious reasons why, I'm not talking to that traitor until I'm out of my mood) and I'm doing pretty good. At least that's what I've been telling myself.
I get out of my seat and walk over to the door to see my head teacher with a pretty concerned face. What's going on? Have I been failing tests or something...?
"Please, take a seat," Makarov says when we enter his office; I'm guessing I'm not getting told off. He's being way too nice for that. I do as he says and sit down in the seat in front of his desk.
"This morning the police reported your mother was missing," The head teacher says. What? Mums missing? She worked as a police officer and was ranked one of the best last year, and yesterday she told me she was starting as a private detective. My mum's one of the best! She can't go missing!
"What...?" that's all I could really say, I don't know why but I can't bring myself to speak, more out of shock than anything. I honestly believe she's alive, so I shouldn't be sad... right? If that's true why are my eyes stinging!?
"When you get home today you will be took to a foster home, it is your decision whether or not you stay in school for the day, but it is recom-"
"I'll stay," I interrupt, reclaiming my speech.
"Okay, they will pick you up at your old house where you will pack your things,"
"They?"
"Social workers," Oh great. Those guys are complete Jack asses, when mum took me in a faintly remember them trying to take me away, that was, until mum became a police officer.
At dinner I sit with Loke (the traitor), Lucy, Erza and... Ugh, Natsu. It's not like I want to or anything it's just, we have the same friends, I can't help that fact. But I think I have a head ache coming on from it. I've decided to talk to the traitor as I'm sick of his whining.
"So what did the head want?" Lucy asks, everybody's attention turns to me. See this is why I don't talk to people, you always have to explain yourself and it adds so much stress, that and... well, I'm not the best at socialising, when I try it's just sad to watch. It seems to be a lot easier to just keep quiet, if their worth the time they will let you get comfortable with them, right? Not that I want any more friends. There too much of a burden, and as long as Loke nags me I'm not even considering a girlfriend, or boyfriend, I don't know how I swing, I've never had a crush on either gender so... yeah, ranting again about nothing, I'll stop now.
"Nothing much..." I sigh looking down to my food before me, I made it yesterday, I like cooking if you haven't knottiest
"But you've looked really down since..." Loke adds to the conversation.
"Don't I always?" I ask, playing with my food. I don't really feel like eating.
"Well yeah but..." Loke says, his voice is filled with concern, it's making me sick. People don't need to be concerned about me anyway, I care about me, and that's enough. This tone of voice everybody uses on me... it used to feel comforting, but when you get to much of it reminds you of times when you hurt, physically or mentally. Well that's my opinion anyway.
"Guys get off his back, if he needed to talk he would, right Gray?" wait... whose voice was that? No way was it Lucy or Erza because it was too deep, and it won't be Loke because he never backs me up with this stuff... so... Natsu? That pink head twit wasn't trying his damned best to annoy me anymore?
"Ugh, yeah..." I reply, a bit bemused, I didn't see that coming. Was he trying to get in my good books? Well I guess anyone would try to get along with someone they see all the time. And it is, unfortunately, all of the goddamned time. So, should I say thanks? I don't want to get his hopes up about being friends or anything so I guess agreement was enough. Huh, why am I thinking so hard?
"Natsu is right; we will respect Gray's privacy!" Erza yells. She gets an enthusiastic 'yeah!' from the pink head in response and blank looks from the other two.
When I get home it's just as Makarov said, three social workers were waiting for me. Boy, they don't look friendly. I hope they understand that I'm not coming with them. Because I'm not, I don't care if they attempt to carry me kicking and screaming they won't even get near me, lay a single finger on the fabric that I'm wearing.
"Go pack kid," A woman says, lighting a cigarette, oh ho ho ho, great example you're setting as a social worker there darling.
"No," I reply, glancing at the two lanky men at the side of the smoker. They glare down at me and take a step forward, I respond with two steps back.
"Fine, we'll take you without your things then," one of the men coughs. God aren't these people supposed to be nice and calming and... Yeah, nice and calming. The other tries to pick me up but I dodge and he walks into a lamp post. Oh these people are child friendly and smart! In a parallel universe, that is...
"Gray?" someone shouts me; I turn my head to the left and, OH SUPRISE! It's Natsu Dragneel! Who seems to be stalking me, well, I guess it's not exactly a bad thing he turned up, the men can't use force anymore- oh yeah I was wrong, just had to dodge the other one (who almost fell over the brick wall into a lake) "What's going on?"
"Nothing m- AGH! Will you quit that! Eh-em, nothing much," I reply while the first 'thug' takes a swing at me again, so mature.
"Do you need help?" He asks, looking confused.
"Oh no I'm..." I break into a run towards him "LEG IT!" I shout pulling him along with me. What? I'm not that cold that I would leave him in the company of whatever they call there selves, they sure aren't social workers anyway.
"What the hell Gray!?" Natsu shouts. I have a hold of his wrist and he's stumbling behind me trying to keep up with me.
"I'm saving your ass! Be grateful... crap..." I look around for somewhere to hide, letting go of the others arm. We should be safe for the moment but any minute now they'll come round the corner.
I feel Natsu grab my hand and drag me over to a fence, and, literally, throw me over. I land on the other side of the wooden fence, my back hits the stone ground and it makes a slight fleshy sound, pretty disgusting, and I feel my back crack slightly. Natsu on the other hand lands on his feet. Seriously, if he hadn't of just saved me he would be dead. D-E-A-D.
"This is a way to my back yard," He says offering me his hand which I refuse, pushing myself up with the palms of my hands, which have been dusted with the muck covering the light gray stone I landed on "care to explain? Or are you going to stay all mysterious?"
"I'll think about it," I grunt, frowning and following the idiot in front of me. He's changed out of his uniform into a white T-shirt, black and gold waistcoat, black army shorts and a white/gray scale like scarf. How fast did he get home today?
"Oh I feel honoured, but Gray... where's your shirt?"
"wh..? CRAP!" I look down to see my school t-shirt missing, when the heck did that happen? Ugh, whatever, that's not what I should be worrying about. "I don't know... must have... slipped off somehow," I reply, feeling a tinge of heat flow to my face.
"okay? Never mind, you can borrow one of mine, we're here anyways,"
me-I'M SO SORRY GRAY! *hugs gray*
Gray-if you're sorry why did you write it?
me-Its called a plot.
Gray-don't get smart with me
me-Im not getting smart I am smart
Natsu-HEY! STOP FIGHTING WITH HIM! THATS MY JOB!
Erza-Oh I found a tazer
me-Crap I forgot about that...
Lucy-gray wheres your shirt?
Gray-goddamn! -.-
me-Thanks for reading! please review
