Chapter Two – Part 1 of the plan.

Grey POV

I couldn't place her to the back of my mind and I couldn't seem to find her anywhere I had searched for her all weekend and it was like she had disappeared, Levy had even said that she had the same issue with Gajeel. I sighed as I walked into the class late and found my opportunity as I saw her. She sat where she always sat second row in, next to the window her only neighbour being Lucy and so I blinked and grabbed Lucy who was conveniently walking in behind me.

Juvia POV

I blinked looking out of the window, English was not my best subject and I had a throbbing headache. If it weren't for the fact that I would have to listen to Makarov if I decided not to come I would have decided to bunk off this class. I smiled to myself as I remembered Grey was in this class, the smile slipped. Maybe trying to get his attention wasn't worth it, he had said it himself he didn't love Juvia and he doubted he ever would.

"earth to Juvia?" I almost jumped a mile as a hand landed in front of my eyes and the view of the court yard I frowned and looked around expecting to see Lucy, but the voice was deeper. I blinked confused my head cocking to the side and said "you aren't Lucy?" he smirked and said "well I hope not otherwise I would have the shock of my life" I blinked at him, I didn't really feel like being rejected again it had been a long weekend. I blinked and said "Grey, not that Juvia is complaining but why is Grey sitting in Lucy's chair?"

He blinked playing with his pen and leaning backwards "well I sat near Natsu, Lucy sits near you I thought it might be fun to switch" I blinked and nodded looking back as I saw Lucy and Natsu talking, they had been getting closer for a while now. I nodded and said "Juvia sees" there was a strange silence as I looked up at the clock not long now and class would start. There was an odd tension, I knew I loved Grey, but he didn't love me and now with everything exploding in my life could I really continue to go after Grey like some sort of liar. After all he didn't know what I had done, who I was and all this time I had been lying to him and seeing Joes only made that clear. He blinked and said "so what are you doing for lunch?"

I looked over and said "Juvia is" I was about to say had nothing planned but my stomach dropped nope I had detention I frowned "Juvia has detention, since she is working after school Headmaster Makarov agreed to let her do them at lunch" I frowned that was a lie, he wanted her to do it at lunch time to keep an eye on her. Grey smirked and said "what did you do to get detention? You're the most behaved student, other than Ezra that I have seen"

I chuckled and said "it was nothing a misunderstanding" he laughed and winked "sure how about after school" I sighed and said "Juvia has work remember? Is Grey trying to ask her something?" he bit his lip and I looked towards the clock five minutes, five minutes to spit out what he wants, five minutes to end this conversation. "well I was thinking, maybe we could spend some time together as friends"

I blinked in confusion and said "Juvia doesn't get it last week Grey told her there was no way he was interested in her, Grey told her that she should move on because he isn't interested in someone like Juvia so why now is he trying to be her friend" he blinked he had looked forwards again and was twirling his stupid pen and said "I guess I don't know much about you"

I blinked in confusion I felt my heart race slightly because I knew that meant he wanted to know more about Juvia and he couldn't possibly know more about Juvia. I blinked "well Juvia can't she is far too busy and besides Juvia is an open book" he frowned and said "than what happened to your arm?" I blinked confused "nothing look Juvia's arm is fine" he frowned "not now obviously a while back when you had the cast on it?"

I blinked in confusion I had that cast off about four weeks ago "Juvia told everyone she tripped in the stock room" he frowned "A trip caused a break like that?" I rolled my eyes and said "obviously so, look Juvia is busy she has work, detention and course work to deal with so if Grey doesn't mind" I nodded towards the door as the teacher walked in.

Grey POV

I frowned she had been short with me, I blinked and scribbled on a piece of paper 'I know what I said but I shouldn't have said that' I chucked it onto the table and she took one look at it and placed it to the side not even looking my way, I frowned and wrote on a new piece "come on, what do I have to do to prove that I want to get to know the real you?" she didn't even open this one. I was annoyed she had spent months after months trying to gain my attention why is she now ignoring me?

I had a plan a speech in my head and it would have gone great if it wasn't for a red-haired idiot who decided I must settle some dispute against him and Lucy I rolled my eyes and said "get off of me" I looked around for Juvia but she was already gone I frowned this was going to be harder than I thought it would be.
