A/N: So here's another chapter. Hope u enjoy it!
Chapter 3: The Revelation
I could already hear the voices of my classmates. Well, not all of them were there. It was just a small group of girls – Lucy, Levy, Cana, and Mirajane. They were all laughing loudly but they all waved at our direction the moment they saw us.
"So, you already met Erza," Lucy said.
I nodded.
"How's your first day so far?" Levy asked me.
"Well, honestly, Juvia thought that it would be a disaster earlier."I answered. We all laughed except Erza.
"Why? What happened this morning?"
"Natsu and Gray," Levy, Lucy, Cana and Mirajane all said at the same time. Laughter broke again. But Erza didn't seem to find it funny. "Well, if its Natsu and Gray, I suppose it also had something to do with a prank?" But Erza didn't wait for an answer. "Those two are really crossing the line. I'll make sure they get their punishment."
"Don't worry, Erza. It's nothing, really."I replied.
"So," said Mirajane "I hope nobody is giving you a hard time."
"Um...Well, most students are good to me," I answered hesitantly.
"Most?" Levy asked with a scowl. "I'm guessing that someone named Belle isn't one of the most."
"Not really," Erza answered for me and she told everything that happened with Belle and her group.
"Don't mind them, Juvia," Cana said. They're just jealous of you."
"And why would they be jealous of Juvia?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Let's see," Cana replied. "First and foremost is the fact that you're prettier than they are. They are not even good looking."
"You're teasing Juvia," I felt my face go red. I wasn't really good looking. I was just normal looking.
Mirajane smiled. "No she's not. And just forget all about them. They're just some of the unworthy students of Fairy Academy. Most students are."
"Right," Erza said. "Ever since Fairy Academy became publicized more students came here. And our school changed."
"Juvia gets the feeling that you've been in this school for a long time already," I said.
"You're right. Mirajane, Cana and I entered the school when we were very young. The school was just as big but there were only few students."
"Back then we were all close friends," Mirajane added wistfully. "There were fights and competitions, of course, but in the end, we were always friends. True friends until the end. Mr. Makarov was our only teacher then."
"I'm glad that when the school opened for more students Mr. Makarov put all of us - the old students – in one section, A13," Cana said.
"Then why is Juvia in your class," I finally said. "Juvia's just new. And ... from Phantom Academy. Juvia couldn't be trusted." But they just all laughed again.
"I am also new here," Lucy said. "I just started last year."
"Well, you see," Levy tried to explain. "Mr. Makarov knows when a student is worthy to join A13. I don't really get it myself. But when I tried to talk with students from other sections...they're just different. So, I guess Mr. Makarov is right."
"Juvia hopes so," I muttered with a worried look in my face.
"So," asked Cana, trying to change the subject. "Is there anyone you like already?"
I spilled the coke I was drinking and my face turned very bright red and my face began to sweat. "Wha-? No. Nobody."
But no one bought my lie. They were smiling at me trying to stifle their laughs. Even Erza. Which was so unlike her. "Spill it." Erza insisted. "Promise. We won't tell anyone. Right?" squeaked Lucy who couldn't contain her excitement. All of them nodded excitedly.
"Promise not to laugh at me?" I asked.
They nodded.
"Promise not to tell anyone. Ever?"
"Just say it already," Levy insisted impatiently. "We're dying of excitement here already and the boys of A13 aren't that bad at all right?"
"Lastly: Promise," I said. They groaned but listened. "That you won't do anything about it? You won't tease me, or give clues to him, or try to pair us up, or –"
"Is it Gray?"
At that we all squealed except Erza, of course. And I could feel my face burning yet wet because of sweat.
"Gray!" They all said his name at the same time.
"What?" I tried to act normally.
"He's a good choice," Cana said.
"He's good looking," Levy agreed.
"And he's cool and strong," Lucy added.
"Just like Natsu, eh Lucy?" Erza said.
"Natsu?" I shouted.
"I hate you, Erza," Lucy whined. We all laughed. It was fun being with my friends. We chatted and started walking back to our room. But we saw Gray ahead us.
"Speaking of the devil," Levy said.
They all laughed which caught Gray's attention. He started walking towards us. My friends all suddenly kept quiet and acted so normal. No coughing, or smiling mischievously, or laughing as Gray neared us.
"Hey, guys," He said. "Hi Juvia." I acted normally too. "Hey," I replied.
"So," Gray started. "Erza, Mr. Makarov asked me to give this to you" He handed her a very neat envelope with the Fairy Academy Seal. "What did you talk about with the principal anyway?"
"Nothing. Just the preparations for the school festival," Erza replied.
"School festival?" I asked. They told me all about it. It was a one week celebration for the foundation of the school that will be held in 3 weeks time. It was also going to be a fund raising activity for each section. They told me about the activities, contests, booths, and the singing and the night dance.
"So," Lucy tried to ask innocently. "Who do you think will you ask out for the dance, guys?"
"I don't really know" Cana replied first.
"Actually, the boys will be the one to ask the girls out. The girls will just be sitting and waiting for a boy to ask them" Erza explained.
"Oh, right," Cana said.
"So Gray," I started to ask. The other girls smiled at me but Gray didn't seem to notice. "Who are you going to ask out for the dance?"
Gray frowned. "I don't really know yet."
"But is there someone you're thinking of?" Erza tried to push it.
Gray laughed. "Seriously, why are the girls always so excited about this? I don't even know if I'm going to attend. I'm not really into dancing. See you later then." And with a final wave he left.
"Boys," Cana muttered like it was an insult. "They're lucky that they are the one to choose. Yet, they don't even want to go."
"Just never mind them, Cana," Levy said. And as we started walking into the room we continued our chat about the upcoming event.
A/N: So there. Watch out for the next chapter. I just decided to add more romance. Please review! Thanks =)
