That baka! What is wrong with him?! Lucy cursed in her mind as she pushed the washroom door open.
"What happened to you?" A currently fixing her hair's Cana took in Lucy's sticky state, looking slightly overwhelmed.
"Don't. Ask." Lucy gritted her teeth as muttered back a reply. She walked towards the sink and started to splash water on her hands, legs, knees, trying to get the sticky juice out of her skin.
"Hmmm?" This made Cana even more curious, and she raised an eyebrow at Lucy, who was busily splashing water everywhere, making the floor wet. "Seriously Lu. Spill." Cana lent a helping hand to Lucy and attempted to scrub off the stain on her shirt, but making it worst instead.
"And Gray-sama said, Gray-sama is going to make us all for in love with Gray-sama! Oh my god! Juvia was blushing like crazy! Juvia is in love!" The door to the ladies opened once more, and here entered Juvia and Ultear.
"Seriously? You like him? I can set-" Ultear stopped abruptly, seeing the blonde and brunette in front of her. "What are the two of you doing?!" She trailed her eyes from the extremely wet floor all the way up to the sticky Heartphilla, who had beads of water all over her skin and a stained shirt with purple smudged all over it.
"That's not your problem, Bastier." Cana replied without looking up at her.
"Its Bastier-senpai, Alberona. Oh and by the way, nice shirt." Ultear smirked at Lucy.
"Geez, thanks. Did you know that it took me a matter of a few minutes to get this awesome design?" Lucy shot back. It was war in the ladies room, with sparks flying from one girl to another.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a tiny freshman walked in. She took one look at the scene, recognised the faces of everyone staring back at her, and gasped.
"P-pardon me!" She barely whispered and ran back out.
That's how it was. The Elites had this intimidating and scary aura to them. Even being in the same room as them caused every other sane person to feel as if they are lower than the supposingly perfect Elites.
"Tsk. Freshmans." Cana clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Back to where we were…"
"Juvia thinks that the shirt Heartphilla wearing is stupid."Juvia commented, adding in a little fuel power for Ultear.
"Hey Lockser. What if I tell you that your lover-" Lucy paused, making quotation marks in the air "Designed the shirt?"
"Gray-sama what?! " Juvia shrieked, immediately thinking the worst. "Juvia is out of here!" She immediately stalked out of the ladies, with Ultear following in her quick light steps.
The two Elite 1 girls laughed in unison.
"Nice comeback! What an epic reaction!" Cana giggled, pushing the door open. She and Lucy had both gave up on the shirt…
"Hey, guess what!" Cana said as she slided her butt on the chair again…

"What happens if I take off your spectacles?" Gray reached down with a hand and slided the spectacles off a lucky sophomore. "See, I always thought you were cute, from the moment I saw you." He threw her spectacles onto the table carelessly and made his way to his seat.
"Gray! That was MAN!" Elfman cheered as Gray walked to the back.
"Man? More like flirt!" Lucy snorted from her table, where Natsu, Gajeel and Levy were all crowding around. Giggles emitted from her surroundings.
"You know I heard that. I-"
"Juvia will ask Minnie-san one more time. What did Minnie-san do to Gray-sama?"
Juvia grabbed Minne's shirt and stared into her eyes. Juvia's eyes grew wider and wider with anger and jealousy. (A/n: Minnie was the girl Gray flirted with just now)How dare she actually try to get close to Gray-sama! Love rival!
"Love rival! Minnie-san had just made enemies of Elite 2!" Juvia screeched at poor Minnie, who was still confused.
"With Gray such a flirt…"
"…And Juvia such a possessive demon…"
"They…"
"Are going to make enemies of every single girl here." The four members of Elite 1 stared at the scene, amused.
"Class class!" Laki, S1's literature teacher, strode in carrying a big box. Her indistinct purple hair was tied in a high ponytail and she was wearing a very sharp outfit, a crisp white shirt and a black pencil skirt.
"Whats in that box, Laki-sensei?" Natsu shouted from the back of the class.
"These are the names of your partner for the upcoming project. Each pair will have to act out a scene of a story and do a project on it. This counts as thirty percent of your Literature grade. The pair must be one girl and one boy." She looked up expectantly at the class, and cheers came from the class.
"Natsu-sama! Pair with me! I will do everything!" One girl yelled, turning her head to the back.
"Elfman-sama, be a MAN and pair with me!" Another yelled.
"Juvia-sama! I love to work with that gorgeous body of yours-"
"LEVY-SAMA! I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU-"
"CLASS! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!" Laki yelled at the top of her lungs. "It's not of free will. It's by luck. The girls will pick their partners, and the boys will pick the scenes. Girls, put your hand inside this box to get the name of the one you are working with. After everyone has a partner, the boys will pick the scene via the same format. No changing or backing out."
The whole class started murmuring at once. For once, they can actually have a chance to pair up with the Elites. And one more lucky girl to pair with Gray! They were looking forward to this!
"Lisanna. If you please." Lisanna's heart thumped wildly as she approached the box. What if I get one of those irritating boys name? What if I get the names of Gajeel-san or… Natsu-san?! She placed her left hand cautiously into the box.
Elfman-nii-san or Lyon!
Elfman-nii-san or Lyon!
Elfman-nii-san or Lyon!
Her hands wavered over the papers, and she picked one after a moment's thought.
Every guys' heart was racing wildly. Who would be the lucky guy to pair up with the adorable Lisanna of Elite 2? Lisanna carefully lifted the paper out from the box and slowly unscrolled it.
Please! Lyon or Elfman-nii-san!
Natsu Dragneel
Lisanna stared at the paper in shock. No way! How can it be?! This was not possible!
"N-Na-Natsu Dragneel-san…" She choked in frozen horror. Her heart raced like mad and pink flushed her cheeks. There was two reason why she could not, and should not pair with him.
Reason one: He was a member of Elite 1
Reason two: Lisanna had a huge crush on him!
Every one stared in horror at the Elites. Natsu and Lisanna? How would they get anything done?! This was a total pig-can-fly, sun-rise-up-from-the-west moment. The loud and obnoxious with the clever and quiet.
"Me?!" Realisation dawned on him as he suddenly sat up abruptly from his slouching position, a deep frown on his face. Lisanna? From Elite 2?!No way! I wanted to pair with Lucy!
"Him?!" Everyone echoed incredously.
"Yes, you, Natsu-san…" Lisanna continued with a small voice.
"Next! Juvia!" Juvia glanced at Lisanna's horrified face. Poor Lisanna! She hoped that she wouldn't end up in the same state as her. It would be great if the person was Lyon or Elfman… or even… Gray-sama! Juvia's eyes lit up with that thought and started bouncing toward the teacher, perkier than usual. She threw her hand into the box and grasped a paper without any pause.
Gray-sama! Juvia is coming! Juvia scrolled open her paper excitedly, and it was obvious that that her face faltered.
Lyon Bastier
"Lyon! Juvia is partnering with Lyon!" Juvia gave a weak smile, not wanting Lyon to think that she did not want to partner with him.
"Yes!" Lyon threw a punch into the air, a huge smile plastered on his face. "I mean… yeah sure. Of course…" Lyon slowly put his hand down as he realised what he did. That was so not his style. Juvia and I… is this fate?!
"Levy! Next!"
"Hai!" Levy stood up, startled.
"Oi shorty. If you don't pick me, you're dead." Gajeel grabbed her hand and warned her.
Levy gave him an irritated look and shook her head in annoyance. She strode up towards the teacher's table and placed her hand into the box. The petite girl smiled as she threw grabbed a piece of paper. I have a good feeling about this…
Gajeel Redfox
Her smile widened as she called out Gajeel's name.
"Gajeel-ahh. Don't slack alright?" She hinted and walked back to her seat, happy with her partner.
Lucy's heart leaped again. Natsu, and now Gajeel? There was no one else not despicable that she could partner with now.
"Lucy!" Lucy tossed her hair slightly, acting like she wasn't affected by the turn of events, trying to keep up with her image. She walked at her usual pace and stopped at the box. Her hand approached the box slowly like a rabbit entering a tiger's den. Her hand flew pass all the papers on the top and she grabbed at random. What's the worst that could happen now? There is nothing worser than partnering a total love struck classmate.
Lucy Heartphilla, completely wrong! In fact, it's about to get a lot worst…
Lucy's heart almost stopped when she read the name.
She gave a what-the-heck look at the paper, turning it three hundred and sixty degrees in case she read the words wrongly, and that it was just the trick of the light. In the end…
"Him?! Seriously?!" With her left hand holding the paper, her right hand pointed to the unfortuante partner.
Why is it him? WHY?! She winced at the scary prospect.
"ME?! Are you sure you read correctly?!" A loud voice shouted.
"It's not my fault that you are here in this school!" Lucy screamed back. She turned towards Laki, only to be faced with a hand, indicating no change. If only if was a guy teacher… I would have totally gotten a second time to choose! With a sigh, Lucy stormed towards her partner, and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Flirt with her. Seduce her. Get her to give you another chance to swap partners." Lucy grimaced and shot him a look.
"What?"
"All teachers here are cheap. Try it."
Without a second push, he pushed his chair back and walked towards Laki.
"Laki-sensei, has anyone told you how cute you are with that sweet face of yours?" He leaned against the teachers table and purred.
Laki looked astounded and stared at him. Then her face showed comprehension and she grinned.
"Fat chance, no use trying to flirt with me, Gray."
