Turf Wars

Chapter 4- Science Class

Lisanna watched as Levy chatted with Lucy about something. She didn't particularly care for it. She didn't mind that Levy had other friends, but Lucy was a Saber and they hit it off pretty quick. She was allowed to be a little jealous and betrayed feeling right? That was natural.

"What are you thinking about?" Sting asked as he came over to where Lisanna sat, munching angrily on her French toast sticks. She jumped at his touch, not expecting him. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya, babe."

"Its fine," the silver haired girl said, swallowing her food. "I don't like seeing Levy hang out with her," she said with a sigh. It was no point in hiding something from Sting, he was pretty good at figuring things out.

"She seems nice and the two have a lot in common," Sting said, dipping his French toast stick in syrup. "Besides, she ain't gonna just dump you as her best friend."

"I know, but it feels weird," Lisanna replied as she took another bite of her breakfast. "But it might be useful, their friendship."

Sting looked up from his tray to see a gleam in his girlfriend's eyes. Not good. "What do you mean?"

"You remember, the other day in math, when Rouge was able to wake Natsu up by just saying Erza's name?" Lisanna asked.

"Yeah," the blonde replied cautiously.

"Well, Erza was Saber's equivalent of Mira. If that's the case, then whatever promise Natsu made to her has to be related to taking over this school," Lisanna went on.

"So you want to use Levy to get answers from Lucy who is dating Natsu about the promise to Erza?" Sting asked, seeing where this was going.

"Exactly," she replied cheerfully.

"Do you really wanna put Levy in that position though? You know she doesn't like stuff like that and it might jeopardize her new friendship," Elfman countered before finishing his breakfast.

"It's just a couple questions, besides you know what Mira will do to us if we don't get answers," Lisanna replied. Sting noticed the sad look on her face and the way she looked at Levy, but he said nothing. This was no longer about the schools merging but about the siblings and what Mira wanted. And Mira gets what she wants.

"Please, Levy, please do this for me," Lisanna pleaded with her friend as they walked the walls to science class. "It's just one question. Lucy won't suspect a thing, please."

"Fine, I will ask her, but you know this whole thing is stupid, right," Levy responded.

"I don't have a choice," Lisanna mumbled.

"Did you say something, Lis?" the bluenette asked.

"I said, thank you. This means a lot," the senior replied with a smile as the two entered their science class and went to their seats. Mystogan reassigned seats when Saber merged so Lisanna was put in the back away from Levy, and Lucy took her old seat with Gajeel behind Levy. Before today, that bothered Lisanna, but now it was a good thing. As for Lisanna's seat, she ended up next to Cobra and Rouge which wasn't too bad. She could've ended up like Sting, stuck between the constantly arguing Natsu and Gray.

"Hey Lucy, do you mind if I ask you a question?" Lisanna heard Levy ask.

"Sure," the blonde replied with a smile.

"The other day in Math, Natsu mentioned something about a promise to Erza. Do you know what that is? He looked really scared when Rouge said her name."

"Oh that," Lucy said with a sigh that left Lisanna hanging on the edge of her seat to hear. "I don't know the details but it had to do with our schools merging. He never told me but I think it's about him and Gajeel trying to take over this school like they had Saber when Erza graduated last year. I'm not sure though, that's just me trying to guess with the few clues I've gotten," the new student said, hoping she was helpfully.

"Okay, thanks," Levy said with a smile of her own.

"Okay everybody, pop quiz," Mystogan said as he walked into the class right as the bell rang, a stack of freshly printed papers in his hand.

The class groaned in response.

"I didn't catch everything, something about Natsu and Gajeel promising Erza?" Lisanna asked Levy at lunch in between bites of food. Elfman and Sting were listening as well.

"Yeah. Natsu and Gajeel promised Erza that they would take this school over like they did when Erza graduated. But Lucy isn't sure since they never actually told her," Levy quickly added after seeing the flicker of anger in Lisanna's eyes.

"There can't be any other explanation. Erza and Mira had the biggest rivalry the schools' had ever seen, so when Erza heard that the schools were merging she made them promise to take over Magnola in order to get back at big sis," Elfman said, pounding his fist down on the table.

"Well we won't let them. This is our school," Lisanna said, banging her own fist down on the table. Sting and Cana agreed, banging their firsts as well until a look from Laxus made them stop.

"Doesn't he have a class right now? Why is on cafeteria duty?" Levy asked, looking back at the blonde haired teacher.

"Beats me, probably because the other teachers are useless if a fight breaks out," Cana said taking a swig of her milk.

"Yeah, they aren't real men!" Elfman said.

…..

Sorry this chapter was short I just couldn't think of what else to put in it without dragging it out. The next one should be longer as the students tackle lunch together. Things will get messy. You have been warned.
