A/N: Sorry for a late update... But hey, I'm nearing the conclusion. And guess what...I decided to try another POV. Enjoy.
Chapter 11: it's Friday
Gray's POV
Today was Friday. Everything was as normal as could ever be. Everywhere, people were busy talking about the festival and their dates. Natsu asked Lucy out. I told him I was going out with someone else too. But the truth is I have no date. I was thinking of asking Belle out. But Mr. Makarov said that it shouldn't be for the plus points but because it's what we want. I was going to really ask Belle out but Juvia reminded me of what Mr. Makarov said. And because of her I felt like I don't want to go with Belle, somehow. But now who am I going to ask out? Honestly, I was considering Juvia but somebody asked her already. Sigh. Then I remembered it was Friday and somehow I feel nervous. How can I be thinking of the date when I haven't figured out who the other student in danger was. And time was ticking. Natsu was pressuring me too. I was going to be with Belle. I just told Natsu that he'll go with Erza and Jellal. Though he complained a little he can't do anything about it anyway. The day passed normally. Makarov assigned some of us to clean the park so that he has an excuse to let us stay in the school with Annie, Amy, Belle and some of the students of A 13. I was assigned with Belle to the Library and so were some others so that we'll be safe. And before I knew it the bells rang to signal that it's time for the meeting and students who were not going to do anything in school can leave already.
Erza, Jellal, and Natsu were together. Jellal was following Annie. Erza was following Amy. And Natsu followed the boyfriend of Amy. And I was with Belle. We were to call each other for support, in case something bad happens. The library was filled with some students only. Most of them were in the park. There were only 5 of us actually. After some time the three of them asked if they can be excused for a while for a short break. That left Belle and I alone. I tried to ask her one last time.
"Who's the other one?"
"I told you already. Do I have to explain myself," she stubbornly said.
"Come on, Belle. Don't be so selfish," I felt anger rising in me already. I'm out of patience. Someone else was in trouble and here she was stubbornly denying she knows who that student is.
"I don't know!" She shouted back. And grabbed her bag and stood up but the chain that was keeping her bag safe was somehow caught in something. She was so angry she pulled it and with a loud ripping noise her bag was torn. Her things were scattered everywhere. She knelt to get all her things. Then, I saw a crumpled paper and got it.
"Gray!" She tried to grab it back but she was too slow for me.
Juvia Lockser – Friday...
"Juvia," I murmered. I turned and was supposed to run outside to find her. She was one of the students who were tasked to clean a classroom. I was deaf to Belle's cries and shouts for me come back, but then she shrieked in a louder and more scared voice. I followed my instinct to look back and I saw the shelves falling in domino effect towards Belle. That could really kill someone if it hit. I shouted at Belle but she was too scared to move at all. I ran as fast as I could to save her. I pushed her. We were able to dodge the shelves and I watched the wreck. All shelves was destroyed and toppled. But I was wrong. I looked at my back and realized that there was still the smallest shelf standing. But as soon as I realized that, the shelf also wobbled and fell forward. The shelf may be a lot smaller than the rest, made of plastic, fragile, and contains less books but it would hurt somebody like Belle if it fell on her. Especially not in her face. I didn't have time to push her away so I just used myself as her cover. Her eyes were closed, expecting the crash but I put myself over her. It may have been an awkward position but I didn't have the time to think of such things. I just closed my eyes and braced myself for the crash. But it still hurt. I could feel that I wasn't seriously hurt but the pain was just new and it overwhelmed me and I didn't want to move. I felt the shelf slide to my left and so did the books. I opened my eyes and Belle slowly opened hers too. Tears began to form in her eyes. She was shocked from what happened.
"Gray..." she muttered. Then I realized that we were in an embarrassing and uncomfortable position.
"Oh, sorry," I started to explain myself and stand up but my back still hurt a little. Then she just pulled my neck and kissed me full in the mouth. I tried to pull away but I winced in pain. I asked her to stop but she didn't let me finish my sentence.
Then I heard a loud gasp from the door. Belle stopped and stared. Juvia was standing by the door with a shocked look in her face.
