When I got into my algebra class, I sat down next to two guys who were looking at the board nervously. One of them had orange hair and dark eyes and the other had black hair and dark eyes. I looked at the board expecting to see some kind of complex math equation but it was a very simple one. I took out paper and a pencil then copied it down, as Gajeel sat down behind me again. I was really starting to think he was stalking me. The teacher came in and started to explain the problem, but as he did that I already had it completed. My brain acts as its own calculator, so math comes pretty easy to me. Once the teacher was done explaining the problems on the board he gave us a few problems to solve on our own. I finished mine in less than five minutes, I looked over at them as they whispered to each other looking so confused.
I slid my chair over to them and looked at their paper, they looked at me startled. "Um…can we help you?" The one with black hair asked me.
"I'm Levy and I couldn't help but notice that your equation is wrong, it is an easy fix." I took my pencil and erased their work, I started to write down one of the first problems while explaining it to them. "Now you try." I said giving them an encouraging smile. The guy with orange hair picked up his pencil and took my advice, then started to write out the equation. I had to correct him a few times as the other watched, and soon enough they both figured it out and were able to complete it. "I'm so proud of you guys! You got it!" I slung one arm around each of their shoulders and squeezed hugging them while smiling, they both blushed.
"We couldn't have done it without you Levy! I'm Jet, and that's Droy." The orange haired guy said.
"We've always been really lost in math class, we probably would have failed the homework if it wasn't for you." Droy said smiling. "You're really smart."
"Aww, I don't know about that but I'm sure you guys would have gotten it soon enough."
"No way, you're so awesome Levy!"
Their face's turned white when I felt a heavy hand on my shoulder, "Hey shrimp, mind doing some of these problems for me?" I heard Gajeel say, my eye twitched just hearing his voice. Something told me this wasn't going to be the last time my eye did that.
"Do it yourself!"
"Aww c'mon don't be like that, you helped these two idiot's out! Why not me?"
I slapped his hand off my shoulder and both Jet and Droy gasps loudly and looked at me nervously like I just did something dangerous. "I helped them, I didn't do their homework for them!" I glared at him.
He laughed, "Fine, fine, I'll just find some other nerd to do my homework." He walked away smirking while walking up to a kid much smaller then him. I shook my head in disgust and looked back at them, they were staring at me like I was their hero.
"What?" I looked at them confused.
"I can't believe the way you just spoke to Gajeel! No one has ever spoken to him like that, without getting seriously injured." Jet said.
"Injured? So he is a bully! I knew it! He has the attitude for it, well if he thinks he can bully me around he has another thing coming." I said pounding my fist into my palm looking determined.
"You're so cool Levy!" They both said together. I smiled at them, they are so sweet. "Thanks guys." I started to pack up my things getting ready for my next glass which was gym. Oh jeez…I really hate that class, I'm bad at any sport I play! I run out breath if I run longer than a minute, and I have sprained things by just stretching. Why can't they just have a sit in a corner and read as a second option for the physically challenged. I sighed dreading my next class.
"What's wrong Levy?" Droy asked.
I sighed again, "Oh nothing…I'm just not looking forward to gym."
The looked excited while glancing at each other, "We have that class too!" Droy said. "It will be fun!"
I smiled slightly but not really feeling too excited about the next class. We walked there together but then we had to separate to go change for gym. I got into the girl's locker room and slipped on the school's gym uniform which was purple shorts and a matching tank top. Lucy and Cana walked over, when Lucy saw me she waved and walked over to me. "Hey Levy."
"Hi Lucy, hey Cana."
"Hey there." Cana said while taking a swig of her flask then sticking it in her locker. Man she sure loves to drink, but how does she not get in trouble for that?
"Um…Cana not to be nosy but won't you get in trouble if your caught with that?" I asked.
She smirked, "Doubtful since my dad is the Dean of the school." Oh wow… "Yeah, he's pretty laid back with most of the student's, I can pretty much get away with murder."
"Gildart is the Dean of the school, he doesn't let anyone call him by his last name." Lucy said.
I nodded then Cana looked around the room, "So where is Juvia?"
Lucy looked sheepish, "Eh…probably in the guy's locker room trying to take a peek at Grey."
Cana shook her head, "That girl has some real issues."
Lucy and I laughed then she said, "Tell me about it."
We walked out into the gym and saw most of the other student's pairing up while shooting hoops. Oh god no…this is my worst sport considering I'm not only physically challenged but also vertically challenged.
Natsu was across the gym dribbling his basketball, when he saw us he waved. "Hey Lucy, head's up!" He threw the ball to us, but it was coming at my face at light speed. I freaked out and screamed then dove to the floor in a panic.
I felt two pairs of arms lift me up. "Levy are you okay?" Droy and Jet asked frantically.
I nodded slowly, I saw Lucy march over to Natsu while screaming at him so loudly that everyone one in the gym could easily hear her. He yelled over to me, "Sorry about that Levy!"
"It's fine." I waved at him wanting him to know that I didn't hold any hard feelings for him. The teacher started the game, it was then I knew I was doomed.
