-Fairy High A Wing,Second Floor-
Lucy was walking in the hall of second floor. She was walking slowly and making small noises.
She reached the corner of the hall and turned slowly to check out the corridor ahead. There seemed to be nobody. She started walking faster but with lighter footsteps because the teacher's lounge was on this corridor.
She walked past it and turned around another corner and stopped.
She opened her purse and pulled out the school map that the school secretary had given her.
She used her finger to trace the places she had passed to find where she was now.
"Okay,so I passed the teachers lounge and Class 2-C. That means I should be around... Here!" She thought.
She looked further to the map to find the place Levy mentioned yesterday. The most silent place in the entire school.
"If I turn around here and walk straight ahead I should be in front of there and Class 2-A." She said and started walking again with the map in her hand.
"Damn,this place is huge!" Lucy thought,half amazed and half annoyed.
She turned and find Class 2-A in front of her. She sighed in relief and walked past it.
"It took me ten minutes to find this place. I should have just slept in class." Lucy thought before reaching the door she was looking for.
It had a sign saying "LIBRARY". But Levy said that the school board decided to make the library to the first floor. So this place was unused and empty.
Levy knew this because Gajeel came to sleep here during classes. Gajeel must have told her. But where Gajeel had heard about it,Lucy had no idea.
She tried opening the door. But it was locked.
"Oh,right." Lucy mumbled.
She remembered Levy saying there was a trick to opening the door. It seemed locked but It could actually be opened.
Lucy grabbed the door nob and pulled the door towards herself. When the door made contact to the lock she lifted the door and heard a slight "Click".
After she heard the click like Levy said,she turned the door nob and it opened.
"Wow!" Lucy said. It actually worked. Levy was half kidding when she told Lucy about it but Lucy was actually looking for a place to skip classes so she was listening carefully.
She opened the door and entered.
This place was big. Bigger than the classrooms Lucy had seen so far but like half the size of the cafeteria.
There where big bookshelves around the room but very few books in them. She turned around the room to get a good look of the place.
The windows were huge and all of them were open halfway. There were a few chairs and a one person couch next to it. Everything was dusty and seemed neglected. Lucy turned around to see the corner of the room. She screamed silently when she saw something suddenly move.
There was somebody sleeping.
In the corner of the library,on a long three-person couch there was somebody sleeping.
"Oh,shit! I'm busted." Lucy thought in panic. She closed in to face the person on the couch.
She then sighed in relief when she saw the picture in front of her.
It was a student. He was wearing the school uniform. But Lucy couldn't see his face because there was a book on top of his face. She turned to see the sunlight shining down on the room and understood the need for a book to cover his face.
"What should I do? Should I wake him? He can't rat me out because he's doing the same thing I came here to do. But he's sleeping in the only comfortable looking couch in the room. And I can't just sleep on that small one. What if he wakes up while I'm sleeping? With a seemingly locked door in the furthest corner in the school. It's too creepy." Lucy decided. But she still couldn't make up her mind about leaving the library. What if one of the teachers had found her?
She then decided to snooze on the one person couch and wait to see if he wakes up.
She then started walking towards the other end of the room but then tripped over something. A small pile of book that she couldn't realize were ahead of her. She fell on her knees and made a small moaning sound that woke up the man sleeping on the couch.
He yelled in panic before turning around and falling off the couch while the book covering his face fell to the ground.
Lucy yelled too when he heard him yell and fell off the couch.
Both of them were on the ground,sitting on their asses.
The man was almost as shocked as Lucy was.
"What the hell? Why are you screaming?" The man said before getting up.
"No,you yelled first! That's why I screamed!" Lucy yelled to him. This made him realize the situation and calm down.
"Oh,then sorry." He said before reaching out her hand to Lucy,helping her off the ground.
"People always say I'm cranky after sleep." He said just as Lucy got up completely to face him.
He was almost a foot taller than Lucy,and had blue hair and brown eyes. But what surprised Lucy the most was the red tattoo under and above his right eye.
"Wow! He's gorgeous." Lucy thought. She focused on the situation at hand.
"I-I'ts okay. I startled you." Lucy said just as the man with the blue hair in front of him smiled at her response.
"What are you doing here?" He suddenly asked Lucy.
"To do the same thing you were doing." Lucy said in response.
He smiled again.
"Oh,right. How did you even know about this place?" He asked again.
"A friend told me." Lucy said.
"Who's this friend?" He asked before going back to the couch to collect the stuff that fell to the ground with him.
"Why should I tell you?" Lucy asked.
"Well,I'm curious. If word got around about this place,the principal might hear about it. And then well,where would I sleep?" He asked.
"Fair point. But still,I shouldn't give his name." Lucy said.
"Sure,I understand. Hey,do you know what time it is?" He asked while putting his hands on his pocket.
"U-Uh,half past one." Lucy said in a hurry.
The man seemed surprised.
"Shit,I've been asleep for three hours!" He said with panic in his tone.
He grabbed his jacket from the couch and put it on.
"Well,I've got to go. You can have the couch. It was nice to meet you,later!" He said before looking Lucy at Lucy for a final moment.
Lucy felt the need to hold back the blush that was forming around her cheeks when he looked at her.
"Y-Yeah,sure." She said just as the man with the blue hair opened the door and left the library.
"Damn,he's even hotter with the jacket on." Lucy thought before throwing herself at the couch he was sleeping on.
He stretched out her legs and got comfortable on the couch and realized something.
"Shit,I didn't ask his name!" Lucy thought before falling asleep.
Erza was looking out the window,not paying attention to the teacher or the rest of the classroom.
Her mind was filled with thoughts today.
"So,he's back in town? And he's here at the school? But why didn't he showed up during lunch? Was it because he was avoiding someone?" Erza thought depressed.
"When he left,we weren't on bad terms. And even Laxus came to say hi. So why didn't he?" Erza thought as she sighed in frustration.
"Erza,what's wrong?" Lisanna asked quiet enough so that only Erza could hear.
"Nothing." Erza answered with a dull tone.
"It's him,isn't it?" Lisanna asked,hitting the mark. Erza didn't answer but turned to the window,looking away from Lisanna.
Lisanna took this as a yes.
"Erza,you have to let it go. If he's really avoiding you,then he doesn't deserve you. And besides you know how he is,he doesn't pay attention to anything around him. And he's dangerous. You know what happened last ye-" Lisanna was whispering quietly but Erza still stopped her.
She made a "shh!" face while bring her finger to her lips.
"Fine,but you know what I mean!" Lisanna continued.
Erza decided she couldn't stay here for any longer. She wasn't paying attention to class and didn't want to hear Lisanna's rambling any more.
She took her hand to her stomach and made a grunting sound. She got up and raised her hand.
"Sensei,I'm not feeling well. Can I go to the nurse?" She said while making a fake in-pain expression.
"Yeah,sure." He said just before Erza left the classroom.
Lisanna heard the silent whispers after Erza's departure.
"Is she sick?"
"I hope she's okay.
"Is she pregnant or something?"
"Idiot,she doesn't even have a boyfriend."
But Lisanna knew what actually happened. Erza always did this. Whenever she was feeling down or had the need to express her frustrations,there was only one place she went to.
The place where they kept the kendo equipment,the gym.
"I shouldn't have said something. I hope she's okay." Lisanna thought before she sighed.
Erza was walking down the stairs. She was headed straight to the gym. She was gonna do what she always did at this sort of situation.
Take it all out on the practice dummy.
She knew that there wouldn't be nobody around there because the kendo equipment was held at the secondary gym,which was only used for kendo practice.
She turned around the corner to face the big doors of the gym.
She pushed open the doors with her shoulder. Like she guessed,there was nobody around.
She opened the light switch and the door lightened.
She turned to the other side gym to where they kept the basket that had all the shinai's in it.
She froze in shock to the sight in front of her.
A young man was sleeping in one of the stands. He had his back turned against Erza.
But the sudden opening of the light's caused him to awake.
He got up to see Erza just as she realized who she was staring at.
"Who turned the lights on? Wait. Erza?" The man's surprise was much smaller comparing the sudden shock Erza was in.
She thought she needed to snap out of it and she started to rearrange her breathing. She finally calmed down enough to give him an answer.
"J-Jellal!"
