SO, here it is! Ladies and Gents, I present to you, the first official chapter to I Hate How Much I Love You!

Enjoy!~


So, let's get one thing straight:

Love. Doesn't. Exist.

Women were put on this earth to play with the hearts of poor bastards. I don't care what any of you say, Love isn't a real thing. You can't convince me that it is. Love just gets you hurt. Just look at that stupid Romeo and Juliet story! They both DIE in the end! And for what? Love? HA!

The way how I was raised, is that if you ever come across a woman, you DON'T pursue her. No matter how fine she is.

My old man is a lovely example.

Met a broad, got married, fucked her, and then I was born. And she left. Dad says he still loves her no matter what and that I should too. But I don't. He's more forgiving than I am.

I am NEVER going to fall in love.

Ever.


"Yo, Gray, did you do your homework for English?" Natsu, my idiot of a best friend asks me.

"Do you even know me?" I turn to him, "When have I ever done my homework?"

"Dude, you know that if you don't pass this class, you won't graduate."

I shrug.

"Fine, you can go and be a bum on the streets, don't come crawling to me and asking to live in my beach house."

"Really dude?" I turn to him blankly, "Beach house?"

"Well, yeah. I would like to live in one with Lucy someday."

Lucy and Natsu. Truly a match made in heaven...HAHAHAHA! They've been together since Lord knows how long. He believes the blonde loves him, I just think she's a gold digger and he just want his v-card.

"Keep dreaming, pinky," I say as I ruffle his hair playfully.

He pushes my hand away, "At least i'm not always going to be a loner like you."

"I aint a loner!"

"Yeah, you're right. Maybe you hate girls, but you don't hate guys so maybe you'll be gay in the mere future," He shrugs.

"Never in a million fucking years," I growl.

"So you're going to be that creepy guy with a lot cats?"

"No."

"Then what?! You can't be alone forever dude!" Natsu throws his hands up.

"Watch me," I snarl as I storm off to first period.


The teacher passes back our tests before class starts and clicks his tongue when he gets to me, "Mr. Fullbuster, if you don't try harder, I'll have to fail you in class."

"Cool story," I sigh as I look out the window.

The teacher places the failed paper on my desk and walks off.

As the teacher takes roll, I continue to look out the window because this class was my least favorite. After the teacher takes roll, he begins to tell us the schedule for today. Just then, the door swings open.

"Hi! Sorry i'm late, I got lost!" It was a female voice. I didn't bother to look at the scene because I didn't really care.

"Hello. you must be the new student, correct?"

"Yes, I am."

"Welcome to this class..." the teacher looks at the late slip, "Juvia Locksar. Lucky for you, there's one open seat next to Mr. Fullbuster over there."

I look over at the mention of my name to see a girl walking my way. She had light blue hair that waved down to her lower back area and deep sea blue eyes. Her skin was a pale creamy color and she was a bit short.

Great, I have to sit next to a girl now.

She sends me a smile as she says politely to me, "Hi there, I'm Juvia."

I stay quiet and just go back to looking out the window. She takes a seat next to me and turns her attention to the teacher who begins to chatter.

"Alright, class, turn your textbooks to page 345."

Juvia turns her book open and then looks to me who still looks blankly out the window. She taps on my shoulder gently with her index finger.

"Um, excuse me..."

"What?" I bark at her.

"Uh-um, the teach said to get out your book..."

"Don't even bother, Ms. Locksar," The teacher interrupts, "Mr. Fullbuster is lazy and chooses not to participate. A hopeless student, really. It's best if you keep to yourself."

"Oh...Okay," Juvia says softly as she plants her nose in her book.

The teacher sends me a glare, "And where exactly is your textbook, Mr. Fullbuster?"

I shrug, "Who knows."

The teacher pinches the bridge of his nose.

"You can share with me, if you like," Juvia says, slightly pushing the book towards me.

This girl just doesn't listen, does she?

"Didn't he tell you to leave me alone?" I almost growl at the idiot.

She blinks at me, retracting her book, "Sorry."

Sheesh, I have to sit by HER the rest of the year?


On my way to third period, I look for Natsu who I usually meet on the way. I look around our usual meeting area and I definitely did find him...talking to that blonde. They were kissing and making faces at each other and hugging.

Gross.

"Um...excuse me..."

This chick again.

"What?" I look down at Juvia, the girl who's been trying to talk to me all fucking morning.

"I'm lost."

"Good for you."

"Can you help me?" She looks up at me with those deep blue eyes.

I gulp. Creepy. "No."

"Please?" She asks again.

"Ugh," I growl, "Listen, Juvia Loser, do me a favor and leave me the fuck alone."

"It's Juvia Locksar," She corrects me.

"I don't care. Go away."

"Hey, Gray!" Natsu and Lucy walk up to us.

"Hi, Gray," Lucy chirps at me.

"Blonde."

They both turn to Juvia, "Who's this?"

"Hi, i'm Juvia!" She smiles at the two, "I'm new here and i'm a bit lost..."

"She keeps bugging me," I turn to Natsu.

"I bet your just being a dick," Natsu replies.

"No," we all turn to Juvia, "he's fine. I can be a bit annoying at times."

The two stay quiet and stare at Juvia.

"Told you," I say.

"Er, Juvia," Lucy adds in, "You said you were lost?"

"Yes, i'm looking for room 32B."

Fuck.

"Well, would you look at that," Natsu smirks, "Juvia, you and Gray have the same class together!"

"Do we really?" She turns to me.

I roll my eyes. She really is annoying.

"Yep!" Lucy hums, "Gray, you be nice to Juvia, you hear?"

"Go suck Natsu's dick, Blonde," I growl at her. Jesus, she's annoying too. All girls just piss me off.


After school as we walk home, Natsu and Lucy hold hands and kiss each other which me makes me want to puke.

"You're co cute!"

"No, you're so cute!"

"You're cuter!"

"No, you're cuter!"

"Will you both just shut the hell up?!" I shout at both them.

"Gray, you'll never find a girlfriend if you keep being grouch," Lucy glares at me.

"News flash, you dumb blonde, I don't want a girlfriend!"

"He wants to be a loner," Natsu whispers to Lucy.

"I can't take that!" Lucy squeals, "Gray, you have tins of girls constantly throwing themselves at you! And plus, you can't be alone forever."

"Watch me."

"Just give it up, Luce," Natsu sighs, "He's gonna grow up with twenty-six dogs, apparently."

"No!" Lucy declares, "Gray, I am going to find you a girlfriend!"

Natsu and I stare at Lucy in in shock.

"Luce...You don't have to do that..." Natsu tries to talk sense into the broad.

"Yeah, please don't."

"Gray, have you ever had a girlfriend?" Lucy points a finger at me.

I think. Have I?

Not since Ultear Milkovich. Bitch. Then again, she wasn't exactly a girlfriend.

"No, I haven't," I answer.

"That is unbelievable!" Lucy squeals, "You're totally hot, how the hell do you not have a girlfriend history?!"

"Girlfriend history?" I repeat.

"Totally hot?" Natsu repeats, "ARE YOU HITTING ON MY BEST FRIEND!?"

"No, Natsu, i'm not. I'm just saying from a girl's perspective. To the single girl's eye, Gray is pretty damn sexy."

Natsu and I look at Lucy wide eyed.

"LUCY!" Natsu cries, "AM I NOT SEXY?!"

"Natsu, you are a sex god," Lucy smirks at her boyfriend.

"Oh..." His face becomes red.

"That's disgusting..." I pinch the bridge of my nose.

"Anyway, Gray, do you find any girls to your liking?" Lucy asks me.

"I dunno," I shrug.

"Hm...I actually know a few bidders who wouldn't mind going on a date with Gray Fullbuster..."


SO THERE IT IS! I hope you liked it! Leave a review? :3
