I slowly opened my eyes, at first I couldn't open them all the way since the light was too much for me. I had to squint for my eyes while trying not to vomit feeling a spiting headache pounding away in my skull. What the hell happened? My face hurt so badly, I slowly touched it and it felt swollen. I blinked looking around the room. Was this my dorm room? I looked some more then realized it couldn't be since none of my books were here and a few guitars were around the room. Plus the bed I was laying on had black silk sheets which felt really nice.

"Hey shrimp, you're finally up." Gajeel said coming out of the bathroom with a wet cloth. Now I'm really confused, why did he bring me here? He came over to me and placed the wet cloth under my eye.

"Ugh…how did I get here? Am I in your room?"

"Yeah after Laxus elbowed you in the face, I tried to bring you to the nurse's office but apparently she was dealing with a bunch of other idiots who have some kind of stomach flu so I decided that it would be better to bring you here so you don't catch it." He dabbed the wet cloth gently under my eye then to my nose.

I looked at him shocked, "That was really considerate, thank you." I said softly.

He looked away gruffly, "Don't mention it, how are you feeling shorty?" I battled away a little of my irritation at the nickname he bestowed on me. He placed the cloth down on the table.

"I've felt better…my head hurts and my face feels pretty bad too. I should take look at it." I said getting up, but he pushed me back down and shook his head.

"That is probably not such a good idea, your face is pretty banged up. Laxus elbow managed to get a lot of your face. You need to be more careful." He said exasperated.

"Wait. Just wait one second, are you saying this…" I waved my hand around my face, "Is my fault?" He couldn't seriously be blaming me.

"Hell yeah I am! What the hell were you thinking getting up behind Laxus like that?" He shouted at me.

"I was playing the stupid game like everyone else! I was trying to get the ball." I shouted back at him.

"Laxus is probably three times your size, you weren't going to get that ball. You got knocked down because he didn't even notice you behind him because of how small you are."

I felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment, "I was going for a surprise attack!" I said defensively.

He shook his head while rubbing his temple, "Shorty there are no surprise attacks in basketball…"

I felt even more embarrassed then before, "Oh…right of course…"

He chuckled, "You're something else shrimp, I think you're going to make this year very interesting."

I slowly stood up, "I'm not here for your amusement." I said annoyed, "But thank you for taking care of me." I might be irritated with him but I wouldn't dismiss the fact that he did take care of me while I was unconscious.

"Didn't I just say not to mention it?"

"Yeah…" I said slowly.

"Then do as I say and don't mention it."

"Fine." I mumbled.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

I nodded realizing that I haven't eaten much today besides a few bites at breakfast. I completely missed lunch and dinner, but I doubted they were still serving food in the dining hall. "Yeah, but I think dinner is over."

He shrugged, "Yeah so? Let's just get some room service."

"Room service? You guys have room service here?" I said stunned. I don't know why that would surprise me since, this place was a lot like a hotel.

"Yeah? Why wouldn't we? We're not animals." He said dialing some numbers into the phone. I really need to stop being so shocked every time I find out something unusual about this school.

"Oh…um no reason." I shrugged then while he was ordering our food I walked into the bathroom to look myself over. I gasped seeing a giant bruise go up to my nose and reach under my eye, the bruise was a dark purple color. Oh wow that looks really nasty, there was some dried blood under my nose. I carefully washed it away and sighed. Of course I managed to get hurt on the first day here, it was just my luck.

I felt something rub up against my legs and I looked down seeing Lily. I smiled and picked him up and started to pet him while I walked out of the bathroom. Gajeel looked at me holding and petting Lily, his brows drew together. He looked annoyed.

"I was looking for that damn cat all day, and of course he would come out when you're here."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Nothing just that he must really like you. He usually hates most of my friends." Friends? Can we really call each other friends?

"Well maybe they're scary looking, or they pet him too roughly."

He smiled, "Yeah maybe." I think that was the first time I saw him really smile.

Our food got here fifteen minutes later then we sat down and started to eat, we turned on the TV and started to watch animal planet since nothing was on. Which was just fine with me since I usually watched animal planet anyways. A show about jungle cats was on so we ate while watching it.

"This okay with you?" He said taking a huge bite out of his burger.

"Yeah fine with me, I love this show." I shrugged while taking a small bit of mine making sure my stomach was okay with it. After that I happily ate, just realizing how hungry I actually was. "Did you know that the female lioness does 90% of the hunting? The male lions only kill on average of 20 animals a year." I said.

He raised a brow, "That can't be true males are the superior hunters." He said.

I rolled my eyes, "Please….the male lions usually don't hunt because they are big animals and their prey could easily spot them. The only go on hunts with the lioness when they need to take down a big animal, like a boar."

He looked at me amused, "You sure know a lot about lions." He said.

"Well…I really like to read." I shrugged then took another bite.

"Wait…you actually enjoy reading? He asked while looking at me like I was crazy.

"Of course I do, in fact I'm really excited to check on the school's library."

"Humph, you are really strange shrimp, but I look forward to finding out what makes you tick." He said poking my forehead. I felt my cheeks burn then I didn't say anything to that as I focused back on the TV. Once we finished all the food, we relaxed into the couch, and I felt my eyes grow heavy. I leaned into what I thought was a nice solid pillow and quickly feel asleep.
