Chapter 4: Another One

-One week later…Two more weeks before the school festival…

The past few days were the most awkward ever. Gray still talked to me normally. Well, he tried to talk to me normally but I could feel that he was still feeling uncomfortable. And Belle and her friends weren't making it easy for me either. Every time I see them they would glare at me - worse than ever. Maybe because I came from Phantom and because they knew I have feelings for Gray. But never the less, I ignored them as much as I can and my friends were there for me more than ever.

Buttoday, I felt something bad was going to happen. I know something bad is going to happen. As I walked into the gates of the Academy, glares welcomed me. Well, for the past week, I already got used with the dirty looks because the word of where I came from seemed to spread like wildfire. But today was even more different. If possible, it was worse. Of course I just shrugged it off because I knew that I have real friends in Section A13.

But as I entered my classroom I was more convinced that something was really happening, and not to mention – bad. I could feel the intense atmosphere in the room. Jet and Droy were fighting with someone I couldn't see clearly. Everyone was glowering. Fortunately, they weren't glowering at me. But as my eyes followed the direction of their dirty stares I couldn't help but smile at the sight of a familiar face. He was sitting at the farthest corner of the room, his eyes gazing outside the fields, trying to ignore my classmates.

"Gajeel?" I called out to him. Everyone seemed to realize for the first time that I was also there.

"Juvia," Gray broke the silence. "You know him?" I couldn't help but notice that he seemed to glare when he turned to me.

"Umm...he's," I hesitantly started. What, a friend? Former ally? I decided to say the safe answer. "He's an acquaintance of Juvia."

For the first time since I entered, Gajeel spoke. "I thought you said that Fairy Academy was fun, huh?" He was still staring out the window. I realized how seriously bad the situation was.

"Um..." I tried to think of what to way. "Juvia really thinks it is...and...Umm." How pathetic can I get? I couldn't think of anything else to say. Luckily, the bell rang and Sir Makarov entered and broke the tension. He greeted us casually as ever and asked us to sit down.

"Today we have another transferee, Gajeel Redfox," Makarov said. He cleared his throat and continued. "And like Juvia, he's from Phantom Academy." Silence. "And also, just like Juvia, I would like everyone to treat him and welcome him as a new member of Section A13. Understood?"

Everyone was hesitant. But Natsu was the only one cheery about it. "Of course, he's now a new member of Fairy Academy. Welcome, eh?" Another moment of awkward silence. Erza and some of my other classmates seemed okay with that but were going to watch out in case Gajeel does something ... wrong. But the others like Jet and Droy looked like they would never accept this. And even Levy seemed very worried and somewhat scared. But Sir Makarov acted normally as ever as if nothing was wrong when there was definitely something wrong. The class started and ended typically. Break came again. My "break mates" called me. But I gazed at Gajeel who was leaving and going to the top floor. I wanted to accompany him and have lunch with him since he looked pretty lonely. He's my friend after all. But then again Gajeel is someone who doesn't want anyone helping him so much because he'll look pitiful. But still, I tried. "Guys," I called out to Lucy and to the others. "Juvia will just get something she forgot in the room. Don't wait for me. I'll meet you later in the park." They waved and left chattering about. Then I sprinted to the door leading to the top floor. But again I was stopped by Belle and her cronies. "Going after the Phantom guy?" Her irritating voice made me stop. I turned. She continued to speak in a mocking voice. "This is really bad. Two Phantom students coming for revenge." Anger rang through my ears. "Don't you have anything better to do than to show off your stupidity?" Belle was taken aback for a moment but then she showed her vexing leer. "Actually, I have many things better to do than to stop two Phantom students from harming Fairy Academy again. Precious time with my boyfriend is wasted, you know?" Now, I'm mad. "Juvia doesn't care about your wasted time and boyfriend. And even the stupidest brain would know that Juvia and Gajeel are now Fairy Academy students." But Belle snapped and said, 'So, this Gajeel is your friend?" I glared at her, "Obviously!" And I stormed after Gajeel up the stairs.

O-kay...So this is where most of A13 boys eat. And they were fighting. Well, Jet and Droy were fighting Gajeel who...um... wasn't fighting back? "Gajeel," I called out. "Stop it." It seemed that nobody heard me. But Makarov and Erza appeared beside me. "Stop this fight now," Makarov said. And surprisingly they stopped. "Jet, Droy," Makarov called their attention. "I know that it's hard for you to accept Gajeel. But you should. I don't want any more fights breaking between any of you." Makarov's voice was stern then he left. Everyone was still. Only Gajeel started sitting in the corner. But at that moment Natsu and Gray appeared too. "Hey, Gajeel." Natsu called enthusiastically to him. He sat beside him but Gray was hesitant. He gave me a look and followed what Natsu did. After some moments Natsu was wild. Shouting incomprehensible things at Gajeel and Gray. Then they started their petty fight. And soon Elfman and the others joined in. Breaking plates and throwing foods at each other.

Erza and I went to talk with Jet and Droy. "Um...Juvia is very sorry for what happened." I started. They looked at me. "I'm sure that Gajeel's changed already. Sorry about what he did to you both and especially Levy." Jet replied in a soft voice. "Yeah. We'll try to accept him too." Unexpectedly Gajeel came toward us. "Gajeel," I muttered. "I think we owe them an apology." Then everyone was quiet waiting for Gajeel to say something. "Gajeel," I looked at him, pleading. He didn't change his cold stare but then in a small voice he whispered. "Sorry. For...everything." Then everything went back to normal. They weren't exactly buddy-buddies with Gajeel already but at least they weren't glowering at him. I sighed and Erza and I headed to the park with 30 minutes left to eat but I saw Gray separate from the others into the farthest corner. I just ignored the feeling in my gut, like something was wrong. I just followed Erza but she stopped abruptly. She motioned me to be quiet and come closer. Two different voices. Someone was talking with someone in the phone. We couldn't hear them clearly but we caught some of what they were saying.

"-beware..." a shrill voice whispered. A girl.

"Why?" an anxious one. Male.

"-two of them...tomorrow...starting with Levy"

"How did you know?"

"I prefer to keep it secret."

"...owe me. The kiss last week..."

"I received another letter...revenge...Do you know any other people who are from Phantom? Only them..."

I realized they were talking about Gajeel and me. And something to happen tomorrow to Levy. I looked at Erza with puzzled eyes. But she returned this puzzled look to me. Then we heard the footsteps slowly becoming inaudible. We concluded that she left already. Erza's voice was still soft. "Revenge... Phantom... Be careful Juvia. I think it's either Phantom really is going for revenge..."

"But Juvia isn't involved in this. Promise." I said to her. But she looked worried. "Or Gajeel. I know he's changed."

"I believe you Juvia. Just be careful. You and Gajeel. Something bad is going to happen to Levy and we'll try to prevent it. And you should stay clear. Because there is a big possibility that you and Gajeel will be blamed. Beware. Maybe someone is just framing you. Or Phantom really wants revenge and wants to frame you. Just don't tell this to anybody else. I'll tell Sir Makarov."

"But I think I know the girl's voice..." I said.

"Yes. And Belle really hates you so like I said: don't worry. A13 will be here for you."

But I was very worried and I guess Erza noticed because she said: "Don't worry Juvia. You and Gajeel are members of Fairy Academy, not Phantom. Always remember that fact."

A\N: So...what do you think of it. Someone wants to frame Juvia and Gajeel. And the voice they heard was Belle's. Will Erza and the others keep Levy safe? What will happen to Juvia and Gajeel? Find out in the next upcoming chapters. And I decided to add another character from the anime/manga Fairy Tail to my story. Oh, and the school Festival is coming nearer. Something's gonna happen... =) Hope ya'll like it...REVIEW!
