JUVIA'S P.O.V.
If this happened years ago,
I could have wished that the two of us will stay like this, face to face, forever.
But it happened now. And it annoys me.
"Water punch", I sent him flying back towards Natsu with a single blow.
"Sorry Gray. I'm better.", I took the privilege to fix my hair like nothing happened. I've showed the strong Juvia so many times and not even Gray can make me weak, even if he gets naked in front of me. (T_T) Such a pervert.
"So will you join, Juvia?", asked Erza. She's busy setting down Jellal from the wall. Jellal seems to change color, to violet, that made Erza removed her swords and help Jellal down.
"If you'll support me, I'll join.", I said proudly. The class shook in applause. Everyone seemed happy with my decision. They patted my back, shouted my name and even have posters of me. WHEN DID THEY DO THAT?! I caught a glimpse of Gray, smirking.
"Water slicer", I gave one him one final blow, but it's a gentle one. He seem to anticipate my attack and instantly, turned my water into ice… into a rose. He held it up to me, with a nod.
Wait…
HE'S OFFERING ME A ROSE?! Dammit Gray! If he's trying to win me again, he'll never succeed!
"Gray, stop being an annoying ice pick.", Erza commanded. Gray shattered the rose that he held in his hand, it sent glitters swirling around him and then down to the ground. What a waste of masterpiece! I can make a water rose..but it's sloppy. Unlike Gray's ice rose…it's so shiny and pretty. I-I do hope he gives me one,.. but don't get me wrong! It's for the sake of my collection..
"Alright everyone! Juvia needs our support so we better give it to her a hundred percent! FIGHTING!", Lucy yelled to the class.
"FIGHTING! (^_^)", and the class roared to a cheer.
After the roaring finished, Ms. Mirajane entered the room. Classes began with an exercise about elemental manipulation. It's an easy exercise for me because I've mastered the books. No, I'm not a nerd. During the times of depression, I decided to drown myself in my study so that I can forget about the pain. It did work for awhile. But whenever I see Gray….it just keep coming back.
Natsu slid a paper in my book. I hope it's not a note asking for the answers in the exercise. I would gladly let him know but Ms. Mirajane knows Natsu. If he gets a perfect score…it's a miracle. (T_T) To my relief, it was a note from Lucy. It says…
Hey Juvie. Don't forget the story. Later. At the cafeteria. Lovelots – Lucy H.
Erza took a liking in the note, and read it herself without asking permission. BUT WHO AM I AGAINST THE MIGHTY TITANIA? Who puh-lease.. she can indulge herself in my boring affairs – not because I'm afraid of her… but because she's my friend. :D
You go girl! Those were huge waves. Tell me about Gray. LQ or something? I'll join you at the cafeteria – Titania
Is my annoyance towards Gray really that obvious? And is it a big deal? People change, sure. But when it comes to me, I didn't change. I just realized I was chasing shadows…shadows of unrequited love. No matter how deep my love for Gray is…people get tired. I get tired. And it's just…I'm tired of getting hurt.
"Ms. Lockser and Mr. Fullbuster, please demonstrate to the class how you combine your powers and form a unison raid."
"With h-h-him?", I asked Ms. Mirajane. Why is it always him!? (T_T)
"Yes Ms. Lockser. Please. Just this while. You're powers are…compatible.", at that statement, my classmates snicked, sheepishly making love signs and symbols with their fingers. Gray was smiling up to his eyes. He loves this. And it annoys me.
We went in front of the class. I've read how to do a unison raid before but I never actually do it. Lucy and I tried, but it works just for a second and the power vanished. We tried again but it just drains us to the core. I do hope I can get this correct. AND I HOPE ALSO THAT MY PARTNER KNOWS HOW TO DO THIS. Why did ms. Mirajane paired us anyway? Our powers are the exact opposite of each other. As if she's reading my mind, she said…
"The two of you share a single ancient power that took on two different forms. That's why a unison raid will likely be a success for the two of you.", Ms. Mirajane confirmed.
(T_T) I guess there's no escaping this.
I was about to grab Gray's hand to execute the initial stance but he already grabbed mine. We faced each other and simply bowed our heads. I mustered my power from deep within. I can feel Gray is also doing the same. A surge of breeze that took on the form of water revolved around us, combining with an icy breeze that Gray generated. Now our aura's radiated outside our bodies and encased us in a silvery blue mist – almost as if it looks solid, but it's mist. Gray grabbed my hand tight for the final outburst of our powers. The two breeze split into a dozen small streaks and revolved around the mist that surrounds us. It's working. It's really working… my first ever unison raid. Inside the revolving powers, I thought it'll be freezing cold because of Gray's powers. But it isn't. It's…warm. Like water. Suddenly, a caught a glimpse, a fragment of a memory… a memory of myself…
No. It wasn't my memory. It was GRAY'S! It's… a memory of… the first time we met – I was wearing a blue coat, with my hair still with the big curls, my hat and my umbrella. As instantly that it appeared, it vanished the same way. What was that about...?
"Very good. With a power that strong, any forces of evil can't withstand that.", with a sudden burst of energy, everything went white, and in an instant, the room became a snow-filled village. To add more to the chilly scenario, rain started to pour inside the class. Everyone was covered in snow and shivered crazily.
"B-b-but y-ou h-h-have a-a c-control i-issue." Ms. Mirajane commented. "N-n-natsu? P-please.", but Natsu was in a freezing condition where his entire body can't move. "N-nevermind. L-l-lucy?". Lucy nodded and got her keys. She got a key to the gate of the elemental fire. And she opened it.
Lucy gave specific instructions to the fire element so that no one will burn or get cooked. As the fire elemental sang, the snow slowly melted and the room got its warmth back. Thankfully, everyone went back to normal.
"Sorry.", I told the class together with a peace sign.
"Don't worry. The two of you did a great job as first timers. ^_^", Ms. Mirajane commented.
And the class went on.
Lunch Break it is. Lucy and Erza joined me the instant I walked out the door. Maybe they are really concerned about my situation. But they didn't have to worry. I'm Juvia. I can handle this quite fine. ^_^
We chose the table at the center of the cafeteria. Erza got us our lunch and we started nibbling through our food. Glimpses and stares doesn't occur to us often. Not if we three are separated. But seeing the three of us together, in one table – that caught everyone's attention – for some reason I don't understand.
"So what happened? Version 2.0?", Lucy started the conversion.
"WHAT?! You're now version 2.0? A robot? What did you do to our Juvia?!", Erza demanded, holding the hilt of her sword, ready to swing it in front of me.
"Calm down Erza. Version 2.0 is an idiomatic expression. It means that the old Juvia is gone and a new Juvia is here, new beliefs and new principles – a second version – Version 2.0", I explained fast enough so that I wouldn't be shred into pieces.
"Oh. Sorry. Now, the story please.", Erza calmed down and returned her sword in its sheath.
"Alright. It was spring, two years ago when I finally came to realize that I should stop my crazy fantasies and ideals that Gray will fall in love with me. It wasn't a decision I made because of a single event. It was more of a chain of events that led to a faint decision. Then one big event changed that faint decision into a firm one. Will I say it? Maybe you ought to know it because you're my friends…. Here it goes.
Two years ago, often I saw Gray with this girl. They eat a lot together, chat a lot and even go the mall. I know this because Juvia Version 1.0 is a stalker. I vowed that I'll make the girl regret that she even got close to Gray. And then one time, at the park, a got a closer view of who the girl is… and my heart broke… no.. not broke… it shattered… into a million pieces…"
'WAIT! Before you continue the whole story… who's the girl?!", Lucy was wide-eyed because she saw rain clouds forming above our table. I'm trying real hard to control my emotions.
"The girl that's always with Gray is….
Is….
my bestfriend…
Levi.."
To be continued.
OMG! There's a third party?! And it's Juvia's bestfriend?! What did Juvia do to Levi? Or really happened!?
Next chapter - the full story of Juvia's heartbreak. :DD
I hope you like it! ^_^
