Chapter 7

I clapped involuntarily as Gray stopped voice was soothing to ears and he sang beautifully.

"Wow you're one positive critique Erza."He sat down next to me on the bed."So are you fine now?"

I smiled and nodded."Much better."

He smiled and got up."Good."

"Are you leaving?"

"You don't want me to?"

"No."

Gray chuckled."Why?"

"Because you would be leaving forever soon..."

Gray frowned and hugged me."You're making it sound as if I am dying Erza."

I sighed."Isn't it something like that Gray?You do know you would have a busy schedule and rarely come back to would be too busy with your own life..."

Gray let go of me but his hands were still placed on my shoulder."I will come every month after my tour Erza,I promise."

"Good but don't forget it."

He chuckled and I smiled.

"I really don't know why Natsu planned to give a farewell party for Gray on a beach."Lucy said as she fanned herself with some fashion magazine."Didn't that fool know that it would be blazing hot in April here?"

I chuckled at the blonde."Don't be angry at him ,atleast he planned the party."

"Yeah,but I could've done better you know? Erza aren't you feeling the UV rays harm your skin."

"We're sitting under an umbrella Lucy."

"But my skin is too sensitive!Even though I applied some sunscreen,I know that I would be ash by the evening."

I smiled.

"By the way Erza,today you're gonna meet our gang.I just don't know how much forgetful Gray is that he even forgot to introduce you to 's a part of our gang too."

"Yeah I saw her hanging out with Lyon here."

"Don't the two make a cute couple?"

I nodded,according to Gray,it was Lucy who was responsible for setting up Lyon with Juvia.

"Yup."

I looked at the beach.I didn't wanna leave Lucy alone,but I desperately wanted to enjoy the sun.I guess the desperation was on my face.

"You can go if you want ,Loke would be joining me soon anyways."

"Loke?"

"Gray's classmate last year,biggest flirt and a part of the gang."

I grinned as I put on my shades and stepped sun rays felt really warm on my skin,and it wasn't too hot;Lucy as usual had been exaggerating.

I saw Gray and jogged to him.

"Gray."

"Erza hey."

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

"Okay,wanna play volleyball?"

I saw Gray looking over my shoulder and smiling."The gang's here Erza."

Well,the gang consisted of students from our ,Mirajane,Lisanna,Elfman,Evergreen,Cana,Freed,Levy,Gajeel and ,Elfman and Lisanna were siblings.I knew all of them from a photo Gray once showed me,so Gray had shown me the gang after all.

"Hey guys."They group hugged Gray.

"Where's salamander?"Gajeel asked.

"Back there,preparing something."Gray answered.

"Gee-hee,let's trouble him."

Gray grinned as Gajeel went off to find Natsu.

"Oi Gray!Who's this chick?"Laxus asked,pointing at me.

"Erza."

I smiled as everyone looked at me."Hey everyone."

"Hello I am Mira and this is Lisanna."Mirajane introduced herself.

"Welcome to Magnolia Erza."Evergreen said adjusting her glasses.

"We've heard a lot about you girl."Cana said picking up a bottle of beer.

"Yup Cana's right."Bixlow said wrapping an arm around her.

"Team it's volleyball time."Gray announced.

"Who's gonna distribute the teams?"Lucy said coming out at orange haired boy accompanied her;I presumed him to be Loke.

"Me and Gray."Natsu said,coming back with a bump on his head while Gajeel smirked.

"Choose your team Natsu."

"I am here too guys."Ultear said.

"And we're gonna play as well."Lyon and Juvia said in unison.

All of us hooted while Gray and Natsu picked out the Natsu had Natsu,Lucy,Cana,Freed,Bixlow,Lisanna,Elfman,Gajeel and Evergreen.

Team Gray had Gray,me,Mira,Laxus,Lyon,Juvia,Ultear,Levy and Loke.

"Let's begin flame brain."

"Bring it on ice-box!"

We all lay down exhausted after our Volleyball team had won because of that last winning move by Laxus.

"That was some game."Lucy said,dropping off her was almost sunset.

"You guys want something to drink,it may refresh you all?"Gray asked,standing nodded."My treat then,c'mon Erza."

I stood up and we went to the shop and bought the ,suddenly stopped on our way back.

"What happened Gray?"

He took the drinks from me and kept them down on the ground.

"Erza,will you miss me?"

"Of course I will Gray..."

Gray let out his breath and put his hand on the branch of a could be a model if he kept on posing like this.

"Why?Why does it feel like this when I know nothing can happen..."

I craned my was he talking about?

"Gray what's the matter?"

"You."

"Me?"

"Yeah you."

I could feel my heart beat faster as Gray leaned in closer to me.

"I like you."

My heart stopped and eyes Gray chuckled.

"Gotcha Erza April Fool's Day..."

I shoved him aside and picked up the drinks.I started walking back."You're disgusting Gray Fullbuster!"

"And that's what you like about me."

"Shut up!"
