~Chapter 04: Bad Boys Beware!
Gray POV
"W-What the hell are you doing in my room?! Actually, what the fuck are you doing in my room?!" I shouted, staring at the blue haired female who had magically snuck her way into my room like a ninja.
Juvia threw the hand towel to the side and sat on the bed edge. "How are you Gray-sama?"
'She changes subjects quickly doesn't she?' I rolled my eyes and walked towards the door and put my hand on the doorknob.
"I'm irritated, now get the hell out. Thanks for stopping by. I so enjoyed your visit." I said sarcastically, opening the door and pointed out into the long hallway. Juvia put down her pink parasol and kicked her feet from my bed.
"Gray-sama, I heard what happened." Juvia said, looking at her sock covered feet with a poker face. "You'll be kicked out of FTA. I know your parents want what's best for you."
I glared at her and stood in my shirtless glory.
"Never speak of my parents." I ordered harshly, walking towards the dresser. I didn't even care that I was shirtless in front of this girl, she was pissing me off.
"I know you don't like them." Juvia said, watching me dig through all my clothes.
"Are you a stalker or something?" I asked, chuckling. (Haha, stalker joke! Get it? Ah, I'm so lame… -_-)
Juvia didn't respond with the answer I wanted. "I can help you."
I stopped all motions and looked up. "I don't want your help. Just leave already."
"I can't because I've already dedicated myself to helping you out, Gray-sama."
"Quit calling me Gray-sama!"
I looked at her and she looked away, blushing a bit. She stood up and inhaled a breath.
"You'll be kicked out of FTA and sent out on the streets unless you pick up the slack Gray-sama, don't you care at all?" Juvia asked as I stood up and headed out the door.
"Nope and you shouldn't either. We hardly know each other." I said, waving a hand. Juvia followed me down the long set of stairs.
"You and I have a lot in common, Gray-sama. I know how to help you." She said, picking up her walking pace to catch up with me.
"We have nothing in common!" I shouted. "The only thing we have in common is going to the same school, that's it!"
I pushed the doors open and walked down 3 corridors of silence with Juvia, who was tapping her chin in thought. We reached the lobby and went into the kitchen.
"How about we have a bet?" Juvia asked and I paused.
'I know how much Gray-sama likes a challenge; he would never run from one. He can't refuse if I ask him… This is all a part of my plan to make him change his ways. I'll do it for not only his family, but for himself and his friends too.'
"Ah~, so what's this bet you are talking about?" I asked, suddenly interested in this idea Juvia had given me. A challenge, I like the sound of it.
Juvia thought for a moment and a light bulb popped over her head. "If I get you to change your ways and get better grades by the end of the semester, you have to give me anything I want."
"Anything? You mean, just one thing?" I scoffed.
"Yes Gray-sama, just one thing and it can be anything I want it to be." Juvia smiled and I smirked.
"Alright and if I win, you have to…" I put down the bowl of ice cream I had and looked at her. "You have to be my personal maid for as long as I want you to be."
Juvia looked down and then nodded. I stuck my hand out and she blinked at it.
"It's a deal." I said, waving my hand and she took it, shaking it firmly. "Get ready to spend your money on maid outfits."
Juvia giggled and let go of my hand quickly, blushing a bit. I blinked and she turned around quickly.
"I-I should get going." She coughed into her hand and twirled her parasol. "I shall see you tomorrow at school, Gray-sama."
"Don't count on it." I teased and she walked out the kitchen and out into the lobby. She opened the front door and left. I put the spoon of chocolate ice cream into my mouth and groaned. She was so annoying…
~The next morning~
I walked down the stairs and tightened the tie around my neck, which I normally didn't bother to wear. Today, I was sleepy, so I decided to look good while I take my naps today in classes.
"Good morning Gray-sama."
'No fucking way…'
I swung open the kitchen door and looked at the table. I fresh and hot breakfast sat at the table with two plates. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, toast and even a cute little fruit cup sat on the table, waiting for me. The plate across from me was set the same as mine and I ran around the counter. I saw her…
"Juvia what the hell are you doing here?!" I asked harshly and she blinked, and then smiled down at the stove.
"I just got done making breakfast for us!" She smiled wide and I facepalmed.
"How long have you been here?!" I asked and she looked at the clock.
"I wasn't told your waking hours Gray-sama so I've been here since 7 in the morning." She giggled and my eyes widened. It was 9:27! What was with her?
I groaned. "Juvia, you can't be here. My brother and sister will see you." I said, throwing my bag by my chair. I grabbed a napkin and looked at her.
"They already greeted me this morning. I told them I was just a friend of yours and they left for school early today." She explained and I frowned. She was just squeezing her way into my life so easily. She was making me even more upset now.
"Eat your breakfast soon before it gets too cold. I made it just for us." She smiled and I backed away nervously. She was so… annoying…
I sat down at the table and took my fork. I don't know why, but I was willing to eat this… This food wasn't from the maids… It was from a girl.
I blushed (I don't even blush! I hardly ever blush!) And I jabbed my fork into my eggs. I ate them and my eyes widened at them. Juvia took the seat across from me and she giggled as she watched me chew.
"Do you like them?" She asked as she slid a glass of orange juice to me. I hesitated, but nodded. She blushed and sat in shock. Then she smiled lightly and looked away. "I-I'm glad you do…"
I kept eating, looking down at my plate of food. She was so awkward. Juvia had this lonely and sad vibe that came off. It kinda ticked me off… What was with this girl?

Normal POV
*Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap*
"Um… Gray-sama…?"
Ignored
"Hey, look Gray-sama!"
Ignored
"Isn't that flower pretty Gray-sama?"
Ignored, for the third time
Juvia kept trying her hardest to keep fun and friendly conversations with Gray, but he kept walking and acting as if she didn't exist. Juvia wanted to walk to school with him to start a conversation, get to know him better, and become a close friend but… he wouldn't even talk to her or let alone look at her! She was growing irritated.
"GRAY~!"
Gray didn't even have time to react. Someone jumped on his back and he coughed as the person on his back was laughing and grinning.
"Natsu, get your fatass off of me before I rip that scarf in shreds!" Gray demanded and Natsu pouted, resting his head on Gray's.
"Wow~!" Natsu said, looking ahead. "You can see better from up here~! Now I know how birds feel~!"
Gray dumped Natsu down and he yelped. Gray dusted himself off and Juvia giggled, helping Natsu up.
"Ohayou Natsu-san, how are you?" Juvia smiled and Natsu grinned. Gray blinked as he watched the two laugh and start a conversation.
"How does Natsu…" Gray trailed off as a hand went onto his head.
"Ohayou Gray, are you alright? You seem out of it." Lucy smiled at him and he smiled back a bit.
"I'm fine it's just that… How does Natsu know Juvia? I didn't meet her until yesterday." Gray said, pointing at her. Natsu smacked his hand.
"It's not nice to point snow cone!" He teased, waving a finger at him. Gray growled and kicked his side.
"Don't call me a snow cone before I freeze you." Gray threatened, freezing the side walk beside him completely solid. Natsu smirked, a bit of fire escaping his mouth.
"Oi, you want a fight? I'm all fired up!" Natsu grinned, jumping up to his feet. Lucy grabbed him by the scarf and choked him. He gaged and started to cough. Juvia laughed and I chuckled. That idiot deserved it.
"What did I say about fighting?!" Lucy asked and Natsu scoffed, looking away from her. "Remember our deal Natsu; I'm serious about helping you out."
'Wait, what is Lucy talking about? What did she and Natsu talk about?' Gray glanced at Juvia, who was watching the scene in front of us with a small smile. Did Lucy and Juvia…? Nah, there's no way they would both… Or would they?
"Oi, Natsu, Gray, come here!" Laxus called from the front gates. Lucy, Natsu, Juvia, and I ran towards the large gates and stopped the moment we saw Masanori punch someone onto the ground. Gajeel threw a guy into the wall and the crowd were whipping out phones, cameras, and anything that could even catch sounds.
"Ah damn it." Natsu ran a hand through his hair and lit his hands into flames, dropping his bag. "Hold that for me Lucy, Gray and I have something to do."
"No fighting you two!" Juvia cried, holding my arm. Gray looked down at her and blinked.
"I'm not missing out on this! My boys need help!" Gray shouted and Laxus cracked his knuckles.
"Alright, I guess I'll fix this for you!" Laxus grinned, a bit of lighting going down his arms into his fists. Lucy put a hand out to stop him from taking farther steps.
"You stop too. Cana may not be here to stop you, but you can't fight either. You'll get into trouble." Lucy said, glaring at him. He growled at her and looked away, mumbling curses. Natsu, Gray, and Laxus watched in anger while Masanori and Gajeel kept taking out the mass of guys coming after them one by one.
"Solid Script-fire!"
Fire danced onto the ground before Gajeel and the guys backed away from him. Someone flew through the fire and grabbed Bora, the leader of the gang, by his arm and yanked him up harshly.
"What do you think you're doing?" The female voice asked harshly and Bora gulped.
"I-I was just have a fun spar with m-my good friends Masanori and G-Gajeel!" Bora smiled, waiving a hand. Gajeel scoffed and began to laugh.
"We were kicking your ass!" He grinned and Bora frowned. Masanori put his hands on his hips and scoffed.
"Let him go Mira, I'm not done with him." Masanori ordered, looking at the Take Over mage who was currently in her Satan Soul form, not giving a damn about Masanori's words. She was focused more on Bora.
"M-Mirajane, h-how are you?" He grinned and Mira shut her eyes.
"I'll let you go." She said, dropping him. "I won't stoop to your level." She said, putting her hands on her hips. Levy jumped beside her and crossed her arms.
"Master Makarov is on his way to come get you." Levy said, glaring at Bora as best as she could. "Sit here and don't move until he comes back…please. Make it easy for yourself."
Bora and his boys nodded, sitting cross legged for the Master. Levy turned to Gajeel and smiled.
"Are you okay Gajeel?" She asked as the crowd dispersed. "You used a lot of your magic."
"Quit pitting me Shrimp!" He said harshly, pushing her away. "I'll be fine!"
Levy pouted and began to argue with Gajeel. "I'm supposed to make sure you change your ways and the moment I turn my back you get into a fight!"
"Go away!"
Gajeel and Levy shouted at one another and Mira transformed back into her normal self with a smile.
"Masanori, stand up." She held a hand out to him and he stood up on his own, walking away. Mira frowned and ran after him.
Gray stood, stunned at everything…
'Natsu and Lucy… Gajeel and Levy… Masanori and Mira… Laxus and Cana… Juvia and I are all set up…'
"Look I told you before, I won't change! And I don't feel like understanding you!" Masanori told her and she complained to him about something as they entered the building. The girls all stood in a circle and began to talk. Gajeel, Laxus, and Natsu were talking about the fight. I stood and then growled to myself…
"Look Natsu, I told you I would change you!"
"Just because Cana isn't here doesn't mean you can get into fights."
"Gray-sama, I can change you before the end of the semester!"
I had fallen into the mouse trap, and so had my gang.
Phew. Not gonna say much.
