Juvia stood at the rooftops railings with a slight breeze whipping her hair, slowly she starts reading a Mother Goose nursery rhyme from a small book, when she was done Levy smiles and claps her hands.
"That was great, Juvia!"
"I said it was easy." Lucy says shrugging. The door swings open to reveal a pink haired boy and a raven haired boy.
"Sorry for the wait," Natsu says, Juvia quickly hides the book behind her back.
"They're here," the short blue haired girl says. Natsu looks at the silent girl and smiles
"What are you hiding Juvia?" Levy interferes
"Eh, it's nothing!" She says walking in front of Juvia,
"now I'm super curious!"
"Persistent guys are annoying." Lucy dead pans with a cold face, Natsu looks away and Levy changes the subject
"The competition is almost here!" She says happily
"Yeah, yeah. It's the newcomers round." The boy says slightly depressed
"Where is it being held at?" The bookworm says
"Its being held at the Public Stadium." The girls hmm "it's next Sunday." Another hmm "It's next Sunday at 10 at the Public Stadium." Natsu says with sparkling eyes, Levy simply smiles.
"But we won't go." Lucy says monotone,
"Eh!?" The pink haired boy says shocked
"Just kidding." She says with no change of voice
"Eh!" He says with brightened spirits
"I lied."
"Eh..."
"I lied."
"Eh!"
"Lucy, stop messing with him!" Natsu turns to his quiet friend and smiles
"We'll wait for you guys, right." Everyone looks at him with expectant eyes. Well almost all. But they were all given silence causing Natsu to elbow Gray
"Say you want them to come." He whispers only for him to hear. The quiet boy looks up and locks eyes with Juvia. A beat of staring until Gray looks away slightly flushed.
"...ah-" Juvia starts but was interrupted by Natsu
"More importantly let's eat than I practice some more." Gray says sitting down and pulling out his lunch
"No way! This is more important!" Natsu argues
"I don't care, I'm leaving without you than." The raven haired boy took his last bite and stood up.
"Wait! I changed my mind, I'm coming!"
And they were gone like the wind. Levy turns to Juvia and smiles as he pulls out the book.
"Alright! Let's work hard" the bluenette nods in response but Lucy sits down
"Let's eat already!"
Gray and Natsu ran on the dirt ground in they're Karate uniform, they kept a small steady pace with bare feet.
"If we tell them to come, they'll defiantly come right?" The pinkette says glancing at his usually unresponsive friend
"well it's better than to let them see you when you lose." Gray says taking a slight lead
"The way you said that made it sound like I was defiantly going to lose." Gray looks at him
"It'll be okay, you've worked hard these past two months, right?" Natsu looks at him with a smile
"Gray, stop switching from mean to nice." Suddenly he stops when he looks at the small garden. In the middle stood Ultear and another second year, but this one a boy.
"Look it's Ultear." He studies the scenes "this looks like a..."
"I'm sorry.." The raven haired girl says looking at her feet.
"I was right... Wow, Ultear looks pretty cute." Natsu looks back to see his karate friend walking away "Gray!"
"Wait, what are you doing!?" Ultear shouts making both boys look back in shock to see the raven haired girl being held on the wrist by the confessor.
"It's okay, it'll be okay, so.." He says
"What'll be okay!?" Ultear shouts, struggling to get out of his grip.
"We can just try dating for a week to see how it goes."
"What!? You're crazy, let go of me!" Suddenly a hand interferes and pulls away the guys hand. Ultear blushes at the thought of who it could be but when she looks over and sees Natsu,
"Are you okay?" He says
"SO ITS YOU." Ultear shouts but it was ignored, he turns to the guy
"Hey, Sempai. Persistant guys are annoying!" Natsu deadpans the exact way Lucy did.
"Youu! What club are you from!?" The pinkette waves his hands
"Ah. No, it'll be bad to cause problems right before a competition."
"Competition..." He turns to Ultear holding his wrist "it hurts! What's going to happen to my hand?" Natsu flinches
"Who the hell do you think you are!?" The guy smirks
"I'll keep quiet about this if Ultear goes out with me!" The pink haired boy laughs emptily
"What are you saying!?" People start to surround the commotion causing Natsu to back out a little.
"Natsu..." Gray snaps "What are you so scared of?"
"It's not my fault. I'll enter the competition proudly!" The raven haired boy takes a full powered punch and sends it straight for his friend, who barely dodged it.
"What are you doing so suddenly!?" Natsu says angrily
"Just now, your reaction was good." Gray turns to the older guy "remember that feeling when your competing." He raises a hand and gets in a fighting stance
"Cause you will be entering the competition." A dark aura surrounds Gray and causes the guy to run off like a dog with his tail between his eyes. Gray looks at his pink haired friend
"Let's go." He starts walking off
"Hey wait up!" Natsu follows behind. Ultear stares at the two and takes a step forward
"Th... Thank you!" Once they were out if sight she puts a hand over heart "karate.. Competition..."
The three girls walked down the hallway to their shoe lookers but when they turned the corner for Juvia's, Ultear leaned on hers an right when Juvia enter sight she waved towards her. All three girls take a couple steps back making the raven haired girl yell
"Does everyone see me as the bad guy?!" Juvia walks up to her "what part of Gray-Kun do you like?" Silence. Juvia just stares at the raven haired girl
"What? Can't even answer a simple question?" Ultear sees Gray walk past in his Karate uniform, she smiles "Gray-Kun!" To her demise the raven haired looks back but than shuffles off quickly. When Ultear turns back around, she saw Juvia with blush and day dreamy eyes. She breathes in and looks back at Gray and blushes along with her.
"I will not give up on Gray-Kun, the one who understands him the most." But the bluenette shakes her head
"What is it!?" Ultear yells in frustration. She calms down and grabs her school bags handles "Gray is cute, and cool, and also... And also, I like him."
Juvia looks at her in shock, although the bluenette knew Ultear had feelings for Gray. She didn't know the rival was taking it so seriously. The bluenette nods making Ultear look at her, she smiles.
Gray closes his eyes and focuses, an intense aura surrounding him in his uniform. Natsu looks over at him,
"Gray," He stops and sighs "he's in concentration mode already, alright me too than!"
"Hey, Na-Kun! Gray-Kun!" Natsu looks up and sees the three girls. All in their casual and All leaning up against the stadiums upstairs railing "We came!"
"Seriously!?" He says happily, Lucy looks at the two karate boys
"Good luck, to both of you!" Levy shouts happily
"Yeah!" A raven haired girl appeared beside Juvia and she waved he arms back and forth
"Gray-Kun! Good luck!" Natsu points to the said
"Oh, this guy already entered concentration mode!" He said shrugging, Ultear smiles
"That's so cute..." She says loud enough for only for the girls to hear. Juvia looks at the boy she likes an got the same feeling as she had on the beach.
"Gray-Kun.." She says barely enough for the ground floor to hear, Natsu looked back and looks at the group.
"Who was that just now?" Somehow, Gray snapped out of concentration mode and looked back at Juvia.
"...Good luck." The bluenette says catching everyone off guard.
"...Ah!..." Gray says blushing lightly
"Hi-Hitode-chan... TALKED!?" Natsu shouted
There this should make up for my slacking!
