Chapter 2: A rose by another name
Enjoy!
The guild was uneventful that morning. Not even Gray and Natsu were fighting. Everyone was just chatting, enjoying puffed up her new hair.
She wore a red dress that clung to her body with a pink flower pattern running up the side. She had straightened her hair and a rose hairclip held up her bangs. She even shaved her legs and put in contacts instead of her usual oval glasses.
Alright heres your time to shine. She thought standing just outside the guild hall doors. She pushed them open stepping gracefully inside. Evergreen looked around and some people looked up slightly but no one really seemed to care. What?! I spent all night working on my dress, hair, and putting in contacts, for god sake and not one guy will look at me!
Worst of all Elfman wasn't even in the guild. She guessed he was on a job or helping some old lady do something.
Evergreen sighed, disappointed. No one was looking at just went on with their day as usual. If they weren't looking at her then doubtfully that dense meat head wouldn' walked up to Freed and Bickslow sitting in between them at the bar. Bickslow just laughed.
"Whats with the outfit? You look like a whore?" Bickslow said his dolls floating around him.
"What did you say!" She shouted getting up about ready to punch in his smirkface but Freed stood in between them and he got the worst of Evergreens punches and screaming. It was all really an act. Evergreen cared for both men and she knew even though Bickslow had said it, he hadn't really meant it.
She sighed and sat back down. She rubbed her eyes lightly. Her contacts were starting to bother her. Evergreen continued rubbing but then just looked up, trying to ignore the itch in her eyes.
"Do you want a drink?" Mirajane asked from the other side of the bar.
"Ya give me the strongest you got… I can tell todays gonna be shit anyways.." She said sneaking a rub to the eye. Mirajane nodded a concern look on her face as she started mixing up drink for Evergreen.
How could such a petite girl be related to that block head. Mirajane was so quiet to. Where did it go wrong with Elfman. Evergreen thought with a put the mug in front of Evergreen and She took a big gulp.
"You look pretty today? Special occasion?... Lover?" Mirajane said with a smile. Everyone in the guild knew that Mirajane was the officially MatchMaker. She could tell you who broke up, who was together, or who was single. Anything really, about any possible relationship.
"I bet she's trying to impress Elfman!" Bickslow announced and Freed just nodded in agreement. Evergreen's cheeks turned a shade of dark red.
"No! I'm not!" She said and then started rubbing her eyes. Her contacts felt like a desert. She kept itching, rubbing, squinting. It hurt like hell!
"Damn it!" She shouted and got up from her seat. Evergreen could feel the tears coming into her eyes as the tears tried soothing her red eyes. Little had Evergreen known but a white haired man had entered the guild as tears were running down her cheeks into her hands.
