"NO." Mirajane snorted.

"Oh, come on. Why?"

"No." That was his answer again. She asked his again 'why'. "Not interested."

"Hey, if you join the team and win the Olympiad, who knows maybe your sponsor will continue your scholarship." Gajeel lifted his head from his desk. She just got his attention.

"What are you talking about?" He seemed not satisfied.

"I know about your withdrawn scholarship." He 'tsk'ed. "So, you agree?" He didn't answer but went back to sleep.

Laxus who had just finished his teaching, left the class. Erza, at the same time, ran after him.

"Why did you take over the Olympiad team? Is it you who want to build the new team? What did you say to Mavis till she gave up the team?" she asked. Laxus watched his student in anger.

"Is there anymore question you want to ask?" he asked. She didn't reply, but she waited for him to answer all her questions. "You should return to you class. Your next teacher will be there soon." He turned his back to her. She halted him.

"I demand the answers. Now!" Laxus ignored the girl, kept pacing away. Erza cancelled her intention to after him when she saw the next-lesson-teacher approaching her. She quickly returned to her class.

Levy walked slowly behind her friends toward the canteen. She turned her head to the opposite way, watched Juvia walked away. She must be looking for Gajeel. Levy sighed. Why she had to feel this way? Why it had to be him? A gangster-like face, rough attitude, bossing around. She stopped.

"Girls, I just remember my work at the library."

"Why don't you go after meal?" said Lucy. Lisanna next to her nodded.

"I got bun." She showed her friends the bread. "I'll eat it in the library." She ran toward the library.

"But you cannot eat in the library!" Lucy shouted. Lisanna pulled Lucy to the canteen.

Levy stopped in the middle of the way. Instead of going to the library, she climbed stairs to the roof. She'd been reading books lately, and not even one could remove him from her mind. She needed to cool down.

And, she saw someone she'd been avoiding lately. He was lying on the floor. His eyes closed. He must be sleeping. She sat next to him. Silently. Afraid he would wake up. She stared at him. He still looked terrifying even though he slept. She chuckled silently. Slowly she lied down next to him. She stared at him. She carefully touched his short hair. They're soft. His pierced eyebrows. His pierced nose. His lips. She stared at them. Quickly she pulled her hand away. Her face felt warm. Levy, what are you doing? You're violating people's privacy!

"I know you've known Juvia for a long time. Since you're kids," she said, almost whispering. She didn't know if she wanted him to hear or not. "But maybe, just maybe, you don't know Juvia that long; will you turn your eyes to me?" His peace yet terrifying face undisturbed. She touched his hair again.

"What are you babbling about?" She jumped onto her knees, almost shrieking. He opened his eyes.

"You were sleeping," she said. Her heart raced in her chest.

"Yes, I'm sleeping." He sat up. "Until a girl came babbling something. What are you doing here?" He brushed his neck.

"Do you hear things I said?" He looked into her eyes.

"Yes."

"Everything?"

"Yes." He got on his feet.

"Wait!" He stopped. "I – I – " He spun around, facing her. She looked down to her feet. "I like you." She heard dying footsteps and door banged not long after that. She bit her lower lip.
