Chapter Six
Revenge is just a poison; it seeps in through one's mind and heart, blinds them on the truth there really is, and leads them to the path of anger, and even the destruction of themselves. Well, that's what I've learned so far in our hundreds of years of service. Humans often say that revenge is sweet; but really, it isn't. It's a bitter thing that only makes them more worst than those who they take revenge on.

The next day after she made her wish, everyone at school was shocked by how she looked like and her sudden change in attitude. Unlike her usual look - on which her simple yellow headband is put on her messy blue hair, he dress just a simple orange, where she wears her glasses, and wears low-heeled sandals - today she's wearing no glasses that hides her hazel eyes, wearing high-heeled sandals, a sleeve-less black dress that shows her guild member stamp at her left shoulder blade, and hair clipped at the sides and back and let loose at the ends wavily.
Most of the humans that she passed by on the corridor either stares at her, or gets their mouth drop open in surprise. I'm not that surprised, though... because I've already known that she really is beautiful, and can be more if she fixes herself properly.
"Who's that girl?" I hear one whisper.
"Isn't that Levy?"
"Levy?"
"You know, the geek - the one who always wore glasses, the small, weak one."
"Are you serious?"
She just went on her way to their classroom, ignoring everyone. Right now, her plan is to ignore them all, make them see her, make them jealous, surprised, and amazed; then later on bring their words back to them - the words and things that they usually told Levy, and the things they did to her.
"Levy?" their teacher asked; she was checking their attendance, and only looking at her paper, not at the students.
"Present."
"Oh!" even their teacher was a bit shocked when she took a glance to look at Levy. "You look... different today."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Levy smirked upon saying that.
Yes, her attitude changed, too, of course. It was part of her wish, remember? Be beautiful, strong, confident...
"Whoa..." Gray said as his eyes widened when he saw Levy. "Levy?"
"What?" she answered coldly.
"I never knew you were this beautiful." he said, instantly caught by her beauty, I suppose; or just really proving that he's a playboy.
She just turns around and ignores him as if she hadn't heard him at all; then continues on writing some notes.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
"You can't resist me." I heard Gray mumble and he smirked as he walked away back to his seat.
That afternoon at lunch time, Gray went over to Levy's table. "Wanna go out with me sometime?" he asked her, giving her the best smile he could manage.
"No," was all that he could get, though. Levy didn't hesitate on saying it.
If she hadn't been bullied a lot before, if she hadn't overheard his and Lucy's conversation before, if she hadn't made a wish - I think she'd not be able to reject him coldly like this. If she hadn't been bullied a lot before, she wouldn't have had the hatred and anger inside her now; if she hadn't overheard their conversation, she wouldn't have had this sadness and pain in her right now; and if she hadn't made a wish, she wouldn't have had what she has now - the strong will for revenge and the strength and confidence, and the 'beauty' that she wanted.
"Why?" he ask, slightly raising his voice. "You like me, don't you? You always did my homeworks, you always do whatever I say!" And now he's getting too full of himself. "And, I'm handsome, no one resists that."
"Shut up!" she snapped, which made Gray freeze.
She turned him down just like that, so easily - and everyone at the cafeteria heard it, even the members of Gray's fan club who had been intently watching them ever since Gray approached Levy.
"How dare you talk to Gray-sama like that!" one woman, with long blue hair and pale skin stood up and approached her face to face. "Someone with the likes of you has no right to say that!"
"Says who, huh?" Levy answers coldly and sharply. "Says some water-girl who's obviously obsessed about him? Says some members of his fan club? Well you know what? Zip it. Save your words for something else that's worth it."
"Why you..." Juvia scowls and charges at her with some water balls...
But Levy just easily dodges them, causing the water to be splashed on Gray, who was beside her. She let out a chuckle and said, "Is that all you can do?"
"G-Gray-sama! J-Juvia is so sorry! Juvia was aiming for this girl, not you!"
"Yeesh, just leave me alone!" embarrassed, Gray runs out of the cafeteria to retreat.
"Heh," Levy just smirks while watching Gray. "Serves him right."
"Solid Script: Water." she says, then water falls in on Juvia and her other girls.
"How does being wet with water feel? You used to do that to me, remember? Now, don't you ever dare approach me again. Or else I'll make sure that it'll be acid instead of water next time... or maybe something even worst." she grins.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Days passed and Levy grew fiercer and fiercer; loosing more of old self each day. At times I feel she notices the changes happening in her, too; but often, I feel her real self loosing grip and giving in to her fiercer self.
She's not being bullied anymore, but now she's becoming the bully. Often she's the one who approaches Gray, or the members of his fan club just to insult them; or tell bad things about them; or do bad things to them.
...
...
It's been about three weeks and I'm thinking that this is what she's truly become now... a person who thirsted for revenge, and now that she got it, she got poisoned and blinded by it, that she never wanted to stop... and now turning herself into someone she's not.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Well, that was what I thought, anyway... Does it matter know, that I already know of, and saw the results?
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Yeah, you guys know what I'll be saying... I wanna apologize again for not being able to finish it today... (I had to do lots of school stuff today... and I realized that this story really would be longer than I expected it would be o.O) Well, I'll try to publish the next part today, too (that is if I don't fall asleep); if I can't, tomorrow I'll try to finish as long as I can ^^
So... please don't send Erza to kill me~! Or don't throw tomatoes at me for not doing as I've told you I would do yesterday... O_O I wasn't really expecting that my teachers would give us lots of school works today to do this weekend *sigh*
Anyway, what do you think of the story so far? xD
