My friends helped me suggest the plot and the cover picture. Thanks to Rara for the pic! And thanks to Asih (my damned tablemate) for the main plot! Hehehe though they don't like anime, they know how crazy I am, or so they said at the minibus.

The OOC-ness is unbearable, sorry, can't help it. You should really watch Ao no Exorcist, then read the manga. I assure you, you will ship RinEmi too.

So yeah, I can't blabber all this nonsense, huh?-_-

Chapter 2

''

Gray Fullbuster was totally not the type of hyperactive person, but he could be super loud when he want. He did have no slight clue of the rude blue haired girl's name nor that he wanted to know. But he did try consider her as an interesting person. And dude, he could feel in his nerve that that rude female was going to play a big part in his life. Meh, cliché.

Just kidding.

The raven haired man walked back to his friends at the table they usually sat on, or so they said. Gray looked around the canteen for his friends until he spotted an annoyingly pink spiky hair.

"Yo, guys!" he greeted them adamantly, only to be countered by creepy death glares by the group.

"'Yo, guys!' my ass!" Natsu Dragneel screamed irritatedly and gained a faint 'Shut up, Natsu,' from his blonde girlfriend. "You're so late the break's almost over, princess!"

"Where were you, Gray?" asked Levy McGarden, a tiny blue haired girl, she's a book freak, almost nerdish, but nah guys she's a genius. This blunette liked to wear an orange bandana on her head to prevent her forelocks to keep falling into her (also genius) hazel eyes.

"Fucking slowpoke," Natsu insulted in angrily, usual shits as always.

No need to explain for them, it was nothing important, "I stepped on a kitten and got its mother mad." Well, nice alibi, Fullbuster.

"Stupid," Erza Scarlet commented with a click of her tongue. She's red headed and one hell of a scary woman. No one dared to call her bitch even as a joke, except maybe Laxus.

"Brainless," Lucy Heartfilia, a fucking rich blonde, added in defeat. Seriously? How could a person not see a kitten (and its mother, apparently) and even stepped on it at school? Leave that matter to this cold-loving freak.

"Idiot," Levy continued, turning the page of her probably from the period of Cleopatra encyclopedia.

Jellal Fernandes, Erza's not-so-but-kinda boyfriend, only smirked at him while Gajeel, Levy's crush and lover, snickered for his foolishness. "Dumbass," the blue haired boy finally insulted him too at the end.

Gajeel then, unusually, asked, "Did the cat died?"

Retards.

''

That damned guy was going to get it back later, Juvia chanted inside her mind. Well, it didn't concern her anymore that the guy wasn't in any 20 meter radius within her figure. She sighed, where was her usual 'I hate everything' or 'Who gives a fuck' self? It seems like something ruined her whole system.

Class 10-1, it was her current homeroom now. Also known as a quiet class full of smartasses, and ignorant people. Once, for the first time, there was a stupid boy trying to flirt with her, but at the first 'Hi' in public, she already smacked him hard with a low 'Not interested' then uncaringly walked away from the class. The boy got hospitalized for a good five days, just take it as a detention. No one looked her way anymore since that day forward. Good for her.

Finally, the teacher came in holding a notebook in his hand. Mr. Iskan was such a slut, it concern her nothing anyway. Seems like there's gonna be a surprise test. The blunette sighed with her own thought.

"Morning, kids," No one answered his greetings. "We have something for you," he continued as if the class had been full of innocent, nice kindergarten brats. "Are you curious? Its pretty and expensive!" The class got excited of course, typical lazyass students. "Hahaha, I'm just joking, we have a new resident for this class. But, admit it, it was funny!"

A famous-for-rudeness blunette snorted, "Why not just shove scissors in our ears?"

The class nodded in agreement, sometimes, when a teacher trying to be funny is the worst shit ever. One word: Epic, the new student who heard it all grinned approvingly from outside the class. He then proceeded to step in when Mr. Iskan allowed him to.

''

God forbid the new student was the bastard from before.

''

A week later, Mr. Iskan and the cruel thing known as Fate had allied together to crush her world.

You think your day will go as you wish, dude? Let me sing the song of my people. Fate had said. Suddenly, it struck Juvia a conclusion; Spongebob Squarepants sucks. Especially his stupid song 'It's da Best Day Evaaaaaaaaa'.

To hell with your best day, its my worst day ever (beside when my mother died of course). The blue haired so-called whore thought to herself. What has I done to deserve this kind of punishment?

"Isn't it cool, bitch? To be in the same team as me?" The raven haired bastard said. Each team consisted of a pair.

Why God? Why?

The Lockser girl didn't mind the name calling, for she always did that mentally or practically. Since Mr. Iskan once said that silence is the best weapon to tell people to just fuck it off, she decided to make good (or bad) use of it and did exactly that. Keeping her scanning through the books that the library lent her, for the tasks purposes. Biology. She hated biology.

Verbally, she hated everything in this world.

"It feels like talking to an arrogant bitch," he stated in a looking-down manner. "Not that you're not a bitch already." He added.

A few words won't hurt.

"Sir, please stop putting your dick at everything but my fucking business," Juvia said the words sarcastically, life-threatening venom in them. Really, how could his mother raise an insolent child like this? What happened to table-manners? Did some virginity-losing viruses kill it when humanity wasn't looking?

Made sense.

"What's with you and insolence?" Gray asked, rolling his eyes. "Hello to innocence?"

That's it.

"Maybe I should really pull your insides out and spit at it then puke at your insidesless body to help you understand the definition of 'Fuck off'?" Juvia almost laughed sinisterly at the flashing images of his sickening form laying on the dirty ground. If it was true, that's what called magic then.

Didn't matter, she'd better be running errands than sitting in the radius of 19,3 meters radius with the creepy bastard like this. Shit has to be over one way or another, so she left the library to go somewhere else, or to be precisely, to work. He should be heading home too.

Or so she thought.

''

A week later, Juvia wondered how the hell did information about her went into his brain.

"You live alone."

Well, everybody knew that shit.

''

A month had passed after Gray's introduction at the Harmony Senior High School. It's time to check on their plant.

"As for Gray Fullbuster and Juvia Lockser's plant; 'Height: 11 meter. Width: 48 centimeters. Leaf: 271 leaves'?" Mr. Iskan's eyebrows furrowed so deep Juvia could bury the Principle named Makarov Dreyar in there. "Are you pulling tricks on me again, Miss Lockser?"

Her eyes remained blank, if not a little amused, "No, I'm not."

"A grape's plant growth will not ever reach 11 meter tall by just a month in the world's history." As the words escaped the goddamn teacher's mouth, all head quickly turned that their neck might be crushed to the two mentioned humans. The blue haired so called whore turned her head to the newcomer who sat beside her (she told you fate hated her, right?). The bastard just grinned stupidly, making she want to put two chopsticks into his nose so that he wouldn't be able to muster a single shit again.

And the Fullbuster guy shrugged, "I only edited it a bit."

"Fuck you."

''

Three weeks later, the bastard discovered what should not be uncovered.

"You have night activities, don't you?"

Shit. How the hell did he find out about her work?

"None of your business," Sweat it off. Don't let anyone get in your way.

"If you keep it up, you'll end up alone in your old days," Gray reprimanded, sighing. To tell the truth, he was always getting pissed at by this 'bitch' he got an interest on.

"People will only do what's bad to bring you down. Don't you find it funny that people forget your achievement and remember your faults? They can only complain. That's why people are just whores and fuckers."

"That's a unique way of logic. But I do not care for that. You will need people eventually, sooner or later." He quoted someone who's never even existed.

That won't happen, "Doesn't need them." As long as no one talk to her and the world was against her, such phenomenon would not have any chance to happen.

And with that, she ignored the dark haired guy sitting next to her and started to really listen into what Mrs. Kharina was rambling on about.

''

Seriously, it feels like everyday of her life is filled with that bastard addressed as Gray Fullbuster. And Juvia was tired of it. Maybe her plan of roping and throwing him into the Pacific Ocean was great after all. She sighed. That wouldn't do.

As an act of refreshing herself, she walked to the park. Saturdays and Sundays are always the best time to just bitch from all our problems. But its sucks when reality comes fucking us back. So fuck off and let her settle her shits. She laughed.

Who was she kidding?

"Hic hics, Mom… hic…" a little boy, not older than five years, cried on one of the park's bench. What a disturbing scenery to see. No one knew this side of her.

Juvia decided she would stop it to save her ears from falling apart, "Kiddo, don't cry. What's wrong?" The boy looked up to see a blank expression of a blue haired angel (the kid's POV). The little fucker continued to cry nonetheless. "Shh, shh, wanna ice cream?"

"But Mom say to not talcs to sthrangels," the child unsuccessfully said between his hiccups.

"Worry not. Juvia will not do anything bad to a strong boy like you," the blue haired angel patted his head tenderly. "What's your name? Juvia's name is Juvia." She smiled and wiped away his tears.

"Lhyan," Ryan said, trying to sound brave but his tongue wouldn't work out with him.

"Lyan?" Juvia tried his name too. It sounded weirder than it felt on her tongue.

"Rhyan!" Finally! For the first time in forever he was able to pronounce his name correctly! (Well, if not for that annoying 'h' that is.)

"Ryan?" it sounded better.

"Yesh," the kid made a snot-stained smile.

Actually, she wanted to tell him to stop voicing 'h' between every word that he said, but decided against it instead. She didn't want to make Ryan cry again. His deep brown eyes were too good to be filled with tears. So she took the kid to the nearest ice cream stand. "Okay, Ryan, which flavor do you want?"

"Vhanilla! Vhanilla!" There went the 'h' again.

"Sir, can I take two vanillas?" the blunette muttered softly.

"Of course," then came the icy cream she promised after she paid them. The kid and the blue haired angel went back to the bench to empty up their ice creams. They waited for Ryan's mother to come back for almost four hours. The boy didn't even cried once, he said he felt 'shave' around the angel, to which Juvia laughed at. At one point, Ryan wandered off for three minutes, causing the girl to had an almost heart attack, only to came back bringing flowers with him. He had given them to Juvia. Kids are cute devils, she concluded.

But when Ryan's mom finally came back looking worried sick, the angel suddenly fly off to heaven (or so the naïve boy thought, which in fact, Juvia hid herself behind a newspaper, in those detective way that had a hole on the newspaper to spy on someone). Ryan and his mother went home with the child's mouth saying how awesome today was nonstop.

"What the hell did I do?" the Lockser girl rolled her own eyes and laughed sarcastically. "I always do that." At the moment, she thought she didn't see anyone she knew at the park. Oh boy, was she wrong so bad.

''

Gray sat down on his seat, beside him, Juvia was already sleeping despite it was still morning. She might be tired from her night activities. Really, Gray really wanted to swap away the hair on her face so he would be able to see her clearer. He would have been staring at her for so long because he was startled when the sleeping girl suddenly warned him.

"Done glaring at my face?"

What the-? Wasn't she sleeping? "I thought you were asleep."

"How am I supposed to be asleep when a murderous killing intent was shoved at my face?" And with that, the blunette cracked an eye. Gray felt like she wasn't looking at him with that eye even though she was obviously looking at him. He felt like she'd overlooked him. She'd overlooked everyone. She'd overlooked everything.

And that's not a good thing.

"Ryan's mother wanted to thank 'the angel'," Gray announced only for her and himself to hear. He watched as her eyes flickered open and shock went through them.

"I don't fucking understand what you are talking about," Juvia's eyes went blank again, as per usual. And he realized he didn't like it when it happened. Two months passed since their first encounter and he already knew her.

Why won't she just admit it? "You went to the park yesterday. Ryan was crying, you bought him an ice cream and waited for his mother for almost four hours and-"

"How in the world do you always find out, you bastard?"

"How in the world do you always rude, you bitch?"

Silence. Maybe, the name-calling were too much. What was he expected anyway? She wasn't a table-mannered chick to begin with. They didn't muster a word until Mrs. Kharina started the lesson.

Gray risked himself to took some small glances at the blue haired so-called bitch next to him, only to see she was listening to what Mrs. Kharina was teaching about. And that's weird. It went like that until the school ended. He started to feel bad about always calling her a bitch when he was pushed to the ground by none other than Juvia. He didn't know how much power this girl had in her.

"You may honestly think I'm an asshole," she looked down at him. "But as soon as you get to know me, you realize that first impressions are right, and I am an asshole. So stay the fuck away from me." And she turned on her heels to leave, before Gray said a considerably taboo matter for her.

"I know you are lonely, and your bitchy manners are only to make people stay away from you. You need them, but you refuse to let them in. You have changed."

It felt like he knew the story of her life.

That is 100% correct. All she wanted was someone to depend on, someone to hold her when she's breaking, someone to laugh with her, someone to fight with her, someone to tell her problems to. Someone to trust. But she's tired of it all.

She knew, even after her parents' death, she was always as kind as she used to be before the incident. But people are people. They took advantage of her smartness to make her do their homework, they took advantage of her niceness to make her run errands, they took advantage of her innocence to make her make fools out of herself. They bullied her, insulted her, and left her all alone after all she did to fit in with them.

She laughed sickeningly fake, "But you know what? Yes, I have changed. I'm not as nice as I used to be, because I don't want to get used or walked over, I don't trust anyone and tell them my secrets, because behind every fake smile is a backstabbing bitch. I distance myself from people because in the end, they're only going to leave. I have changed because I have realized that I'm the only one I can depend on."

She realized she was born to stand out, why bother fitting in? She cut her long hair into a messy short hair in front of the class and that second, all her Junior High School friend stayed away from her. Even her formerly so-called best friend turned her back on her and leaked out all of her stories to protect herself.

She didn't need people, so she changed.

Gray looked at her seriously, "In that case, I will change you back."
