"is there like any possibility that I can switch majors?"
"A week, you came to college for 7 days" Lucy says pushing the juice she brought with her towards Juvia
"But I hate this...I wanna go back to sports" she wails, head resting in the black marble table
The others including the laughing levy went silent looking at each other not knowing how to answer. Juvia, the swimming prodigy whose dreams crushed after an traumatic accident that left scars on her heart; Doctors told them that she needs time and she would back on track but at times, juvia locks herself in her room for days
"There is a lake nearby, wanna go for skinnydip?" Erza says, tone very neutral as she waits for the girl
"No...i didn't shave" Juvia answers after a moment "But that is on the list and we will go" she lifts herself off pointing at the red head
"I got you"
Lucy smiles in relief, grabbing her buzzing phone to check what rucks was going on in the class group as she kept scrolling down, her nose crinkled "Guys...we have to leave early today"
"Okay..." Levy says
"Wait...what? why?" Juvia asks as Lucy nudges her to pack
"Department Dinner for freshmen" lucy says packing her stuff "we need to look pretty by orders"
"who's orders?" Erza asks raising her brow "Don't go"
"It's okay, the senior who asked us matches our vibe. so it's okay"
"Call us! Don't drink too much!" Levy says waving bye to the girls waking away
...
"Pink or Purple?"
"Purple" Juvia points before going back to brushing her curls "Do yo--" she stops herself from saying more
"continue via...you can't stay without tell me!" Lucy's says shimming into her dress "Do I what?"
"It's a Department party?"
"hmm"
"and all years gonna be present?"
"yea-ah!" Lucy let's her arms pass out of the dress halfway through
"so...will...the Ice Prince come?" Juvia turns around, standing up to pull the dress as Lucy breaths heavily "He will come right?"
"Honestly? I don't know...as far as the rumors go, he is not a social person. Rarely attends any parties unless forced to by his fiery frenemie"
"i wanna see him...college doesn't let me see him in peace"
"If he does show up today...I'll be your best wingman"
"And if it works out...I'll set you up with his pink friend"
"where did that come from?"
"I can just imagine him as your boyfriend" Juvia shrugs, giggling along with Lucy
...
"To all the people who started...which ever year you are in...WELCOME!!" The Department council president cheers loud in the small pub
"whOoO" everyone shouts, clunking their different alcoholic beverages
The girls were stuffed with different years in a huge table of a corner. Their only savior was the senior who invited them, Kinana
and she was an angel who kept taking away their drinks when offered by the boys who definitely were filled with bad intentions
"Okay okay...introduce yourself" one of the seniors point out at lucy
"I'm Lucy and I joined the department this year!" she says sweetly with a smile, bowing her head
the table raises in ooh and wow, looking beside her to continue
"I'm Juvia! I Joined along with Lucy!" her cheery tone makes everyone smile giving an applaud for being bright
"Why didn't I get those reactions?"
"because you made theur brains stop working"
"Juvia" Lucy calls her with a very serious face "I think I'll date you, ditch that prince"
"No love, I'm happy like thisã…¡" Juvia freezes as she reaches out for a chip, a pair of black ripped jeans coming in her view
"Ohhoy...girl act cool! act cool!" Lucy whispered very subtly adjusting in her seat and Juvia does, quickly composing herself and brushing her hair back
"Gray Fullbuster and Dragneel in the house!!" The boys wolf shout
"Sit before you get a tour of the others, Evergreen was searching for you guys for a while now" Kinana says hands gesturing towards the empty chair before her
So happens to be the right opposite to Juvia and Lucy, in the same order. and to sum up the next hour, Juvia and Gray were one step close to becoming lovers while Lucy and Natsu to murder
