Chapter 4: Truth was revealed

-Next day-

Classes don't start yet. It was only 6:05 and classes starts at 6:30. The gang was on the cafeteria but not all of them were there. It consists of Lucy, Levy, Gray, Mira, Lisanna, and Natsu. Lucy and Levy were talking about books while Gray and Natsu were starting to fight and Mira and Lisanna is talking about somethings.

"Do you know the book called 'Red Pyramid'?" Levy asked.

"Yeah! I loved that book. Eventhough, it wasn't full of romance but it was full of adventures." Lucy replied. Her eyes are gleaming.

"I agree with you." Levy said. Her eyes are gleaming too. Both of them really liked to read books.

"Wait! Before I forgot, can I ask you something?" Levy asked. Her face said that she is really eager to ask something.

"Of course!" Lucy replied.

"Why did you lie yesterday?" Levy asked. She really was curious to know the answer.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lucy put on her innocent looks but deep inside she knew what Levy was asking.

"Don't look at me like that, Lu-chan. I know that you know what I'm talking about. I know that you texted your mom. I saw you texted her. So, why did you lie?" Levy explained.

Lucy gulped from Levy's room. She looked around to see an escape but her attempt failed. Levy convinced her "Lu-chan.. Come on! Tell me why you lied."

"I.. uhmm.. I lied because.. uhmm.. because... because I -" Lucy tried to look around again for escape but failed again. Somebody please help me! Lucy sweat-dropped.

"Hi Lucy! Hi Levy!" Lisanna interrupted. Lucy looked at her with such an thankful eye. Lucy thinks because Lisanna was here, Levy will not convince her again. Mirajane was now stopping the fight of the two boys before they can put the canteen into a mess.

"Hi Lisanna!" Levy and Lucy greeted back.

"So what's the reason?" Lisanna asked with curious face.

"Huh?" Lucy asked. Don't tell me she heard us talking. Shit! It looks the truth will be revealed huh? But I wont let that happen. I need to look for an excuse.
Lucy think. Think! Lucy thought. She sweat-dropped.

"I'm sorry. It just that I hear you both talking about last night's group study. I know you lied too. I saw you text your mom. So, what's the reason?" Lisanna looked at her. Lucy look to Levy and saw that she is eager to know the answer too.

I don't want them to know. But, they both look liked that they really want to know. "Fine! Come with me. I don't want any other to know." Lucy stand up and walk away. Levy and Lisanna looked at each other before following Lucy. She went to the garden behind their school. She looked for a spot where she could say everything and no one will hear it except for the two. She found the perfect spot. It was full of trees and no one will know that they are there. She walked past two trees and stopped. Levy and Lisanna looked at each other, finding for an answer why their blonde friend them to talk in such creepy place.

"So, here it goes.I.. " Lucy started.

"You?" Levy and Lisanna asked, telling her to go on.

"am" Lucy continued. Now, facing the ground for covering her face with a blush of embarrassment.

"You are?." They both said.

"je-jealous of" Lucy continued. Hoping that her friend will not register easily everything she said.

You are jealous of?" They both connect each word.

"Gray and Mira." She ended her sentence.

"You what?!" levy shouted, earning a hand of Lucy to her mouth.

"You are jealous of Mira-nee and Gray-kun?!" Lisanna shouted, earning a hand to her mouth too.

"Stop shouting or else anyone might hear you." Lucy warned. Her face was still a crimson red from embarrassment.

"Okay, okay. I knew it! You liked Gray." Levy giggled. She what?! How could she knew?! Lucy screamed in he mind.

" How did you knew?" Lucy raised an eyebrow.

"You're my bestfriend, Lu-chan. Let's just say I kinda see it in your actions." Levy winked. Lucy and Lisanna giggled.

"So you do like Gray, Lucy?" Lisanna asked. If Lucy likes Gray, there is still a chance for me and Natsu. She thought.

"Uhmm.. Yeah. I like Gray." Lucy blushed doesn't miss Lisanna smiled but when she saw it, it was gone. I wonder what that smile is for? Lucy thought.

"I think we should head back. They maybe wondering where we went." Levy said and started walking away until she bumps someone. It was Mirajane.

Mirajane was smiling. Lucy and Lisanna sweat-dropped. They were wondering if Mirajane heard everything. "Where do you think you're going? You can't go back at the canteen especially if no one was there." She smiled more. She looked at Lucy with a heart-shape eyes.

"What do you mean Mira-san?" Lucy asked. She sweat-dropped more. She hoped that only Mira was the one followed them here.

"We're sorry Lucy. We saw you three stand up and walk away. We got curious of where you are going so we follow you and heard everything." Natsu said as he showed himself. If Natsu is here, so is Gray. I'm messed up.Lucy faced-palm.

"By everything, do you mean everything? As in from the start of our conversation?" Levy sweat-dropped too.

"Yeah. We don't knew that you are talking about Lucy's crush. We really are sorry." Natsu rub the back of his neck.

"So, the truth was revealed huh? Come out Gray. You can show yourself already." Lucy sighed and called for Gray, but no one appears.

"Uhmm.. Lucy, Gray is not with us. Natsu and I are the only one who followed you. Gray said that he will go to a peace place." Mira explained and smiled.

"I see." I sighed in relief. At least, he doesn't know. I can't afford to break our friendship.

"Why don't you go to him and confessed? This will be the perfect time. Almost everyone was still at home. You can confess to him without eavesdropper right?" Mira winked and smiled.

"EH?! I can't do that. There are a chance that our friendship will be broken. And I don't want that." Lucy blushed. She was looking at the ground to hide her blushed face.

"But there is a chance too that he looked at you the way you looked at him." Mira smiled. Lucy was shocked at her words. Lucy looked at Mira and she was more shocked to see her face. Mira was smiling warmly at her like she knew what Gray will say to her.

"Come on, Lu-chan. Give it a try. If there is something I know about Gray, that will be Gray never abandons his friend. He likes you or not, he will always be your friend." Levy encourage Lucy.

"It's easier to say than to do, you know?" Lucy crossed her arm under her chest. She likes how her friends encourage her and support her.

"We know. That's why, we are here for you." Lisanna said and smiled too.

"Fine. I'll do it." Lucy sighed in defeat. She never knew that today will be the day that she will confess.

"That's the spirit Lu-chan! But do you know where Gray is?" Levy asked.

"That ice bastard said that he will go to a peace place. Where could that be?" Natsu replied. All of them put their hand on their chin, thinking of where Gray could be.

"Ooh! I know! He could be in the rooftop." Lisanna exclaimed.

"yeah. Let's go." Mirajane said. She take Lucy's hand and run. Lucy was shocked at first but when everything registered on her mind, she follow the pace of Mira. Levy, Natsu and Lisanna followed them from behind. They went to the rooftop and saw no one.

"GRAY! Are you here?" Mira called for him. Klank! They heard something from behind. They all look to their back and saw Gray. They all look puzzled. Does Gray lied? Did he follow us too? Did he hear everything? Questions are keep coming from Lucy's mind.

"Why are you here, Gray?" Lucy asked and sweat-dropped.

"I saw all of you running in the hallway so I followed you here. What's going on?" Gray asked. He looked curious. Silence filled the air. Gray was waiting for some answer and Lucy was still looking for the right answer.

"I'm gonna go now guys. I still need to do some works on the student council." Mira smiled. She signed for Levy, Lisanna and Natsu to come. They seemed to get the sign so they followed.

"Lisanna, Natsu and I are going too. See ya' later." Levy excused and walked towards the door. Lisanna and Natsu followed.

"What's going on Luce?" Gray looked at her with curious eyes.

"Uhmm.. Gray... I-I want to tell you s-something." Lucy blushed and looked on the ground to hide her blushed face.

Is she blushing? She's so cute. Gray thought. "What is it Luce?"

"Gray before that. I want you to promise something. " Lucy looked at Gray's eyes. He sweat-dropped.

"Ok, ok." Gray smiled warmly. Does he know already what I'm going to say? He smiled like that only if he was comforting me. Lucy thought.

"Promise me that we will always be friends no matter what." Lucy showed him her pinky finger.

He intertwined his pinky finger to hers. "Promise."

"So here it goes. Gray... I-I think I'm starting to ... y-you" Lucy blushed. She said the most important part in a whisper tone.

"What did you say? I didn't hear everything." Gray asked.

"I said that I'm starting to love you." Lucy's face reddened more. She closed her eyes and look down to wait for his answer but it never comes. She opened it slowly and look at his face slowly. She was shocked. She never expects his answer. He has a very warming smile. Seeing it make Lucy cry.

"I love you too, Lucy." Gray hugged her.
