Gray's POV To Micaela:

"Alright. So the story begins at Fairy Tail Wizard Academy..."

Narrator/Me:

It was the beginning of a new school year in Fairy Tail Academy, which was extremely important to Gray. It was his senior year. Now, this wasn't all filled with happiness and rejoicing; It's was also filled with a time of sorrow, pain and destruction. The whole school was just in a major war with the Phantom Lord School, which was not too far away from Fairy Tail. In the end, they were victorious and Phantom Lord was torn down. However, there was major damage to the school, students, and even professors! It was very stressful for many people. Fortunately, the PTA rebuilt the entire school from top to bottom. But... THEY MADE THE SCHOOL 10X BIGGER! Still, it was very hard on everyone in Fairy Tail. But, Gray found some "distractions" for this miserable time; Practicing his Ice Make Magic, and her... Yes. Her. But no one knew who she in his academy, since she didn't even go to his school! Well... not yet.

Gray's POV:

I was walking to old Gildarts' Advanced Battle Formations Class, with my friend Lucy. It's the first day of a new school year, and both of us were very confused about where to go and when. The only thing that could give us a clue about it was our schedules. But that wasn't helping. It was very weird since we've been in this school for more than 3 years! BUT THANKS TO THE STUPID PTA, IT'S LIKE A WHOLE OTHER SCHOOL! It even took us forever until we found homeroom! Luckily, Lucy and I have the same class or I'd be toast! We said hello to Gildarts, than sat next to each other.

"We finally made it huh," Lucy said, sounded completely exhausted.

"Yep. I can't believe we're early." We then chatted for a while until flames-for-brains entered the room. And let me tell you, he was ready to fight. But not with me though. Oh boy! He's digging his own grave!

"GILDARTS! I WANNA REMATCH!" the pink-haired twit said, busting the newly repaired door open.

"A rematch?" the old geeser smirked.

"YEAH! RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!" rocks-for-a-brain kept yelling.

"Alright. Hey Erza. Do you mind propping the class door wide open? It's very hot in here," Gildarts said, still smirking.

"Sure," Erza winked. She did as the man told her. "Don't be afraid to knock some of his teeth out Gildarts," Erza spoke calmly. I couldn't help but laugh.

"LET'S GO!" Natsu said, charging at the man with full speed. At first the man was motionless, but when he was only a few inches away, he sent a teeth shattering punch in the fire wizard's manly hood. The 16 year old, fell to the ground paralyzed, holding the injured area. Gildarts than picked the boy up and threw him outside the class, through the open door. The look on Natsu's face... PRICELESS! The class bell for the first class then rang throughout the entire building. Students rushed to their classes and soon enough, our class was at its capacity. Everyone, including Natsu, took their seats and Gildarts' class officially began. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying any attention.

I don't know why but I just tune out everything in the world around me every class or when my mind just wants to. It can also happen when I'm talking to my friends. But that's not the only weird part about it;

1. I love all the teachers and think they're all interesting and fun(I found this out when I was actually listening one class),

2. I get the highest grades in the school (Well... that's just on stock knowledge really. It'll be explained later)

& 3... I usually think about girls when I zone out. Weird. But I know that this one won't be getting out of my mind anytime soon.

*TIME SKIP* *AFTER SCHOOL*

"YES! SCHOOL'S OUT! PARTY AT MY PLACE!" the pink-headed dork said, being as stupid as ever.

"Natsu you dumb ass! It's only the first day!" I said, having enough with his stupidity.

"OH YEAH!"

"Yes it is."

"Well at least I'm not some pervert who walks around naked and who is still thinking about that girl from-" I couldn't take it anymore! I gave Natsu the biggest uppercut I've ever given him. He was flying in mid-air for awhile until he hit the bus stop pole. Lucy ran to him, very concerned, but she looked back at me first.

"Why'd you do that! You have never hit him that hard," Lucy said with concern, however, she had a poison on her tongue.

"He said something that crossed the line."

"BUT HE ALWAYS SAYS YOU'RE A PERVERT THAT-" Lucy then stopped in her tracks. She knew it wasn't the "pervert thing", nevertheless, the other thing he was gonna say, the phrase I prevented him from finishing. "I'll go have a talk with Natsu about it. BUT! You have to promise to explain to me about this later," Lucy said pointing her freshly manicured index finger at me.

"I promise. I'll call you after I finish my homework."

"YOU BETTER!" and with that, she stormed off to have her talk with Natsu. Erza then showed up to find Natsu being throttled by Lucy, underneath the bus pole where I knocked me. She then glared at me with piercing blood eyes.

"DID YOU DO SOMETHING!" the scarlet-haired maiden, screamed at me. I was trembling in fear. NO ONE! AND I MEAN NO ONE, CAN MESS WITH ERZA AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!

"Th-Th-at p-pinh-head st-started it!" I said, my teeth chattering in fear. Not knowing what happened, but I ended up blacking out. Erza must've knocked me out.

*TIME SKIP* *7 PM* *GRAY WAKES UP*

I wake up in my navy blue room, lying on my bed. My head was sore and a little sweaty. Scanning the room, I saw at the doorway three long streaks of hair; one scarlet, one salmon, and one blonde. I know who each of those strands belong to. I was going to call out to them but then I heard some faint mumbling. It's definitely them. Even though I can't hear what they're saying, I know the topic very well. And I especially knew that they were gonna ask me to talk about it in great detail. So I quietly crept out of my bed, making sure that I wasn't making a hint of noise. I shuffled to the wall closest to them, but on the opposite side so I could hear them through the wall.

"So... the girl you were mentioning earlier...," said a hush, calm voice. That voice is obviously Lucy's.

"Is from Phantom Lord?" a more strict tone questioned. Erza's.

"Yep. And that's all he told me so don't ask me anything else about this. But I think he's starting to have a crush on her." There's the moron! "Let's ask Gray when he wakes up," said the pink twit. I knew it. For some reason, I slipped and banged my head against the wall. Their voices then went completely silent. I could hear footsteps coming into the room. Great. JUST GREAT! I'm immediately made a dash for my bed, to make it look like I was just waking up. Fortunately I made it.

"Gray...," Erza whispered, peaking her head through the doorway.

"*Yawn* Oh hey Erza. I didn't know you were here." Lie. The scarlet maiden pushed the door completely open and walked into his room. Lucy and Natsu entered after her. "What's going on?" Ok. That was partly true. I still don't know why they're in my house.

"Gray... are you still thinking about that fight you had?" surprisingly, Natsu asked that. I wish I could lie to them, honestly I do, unfortunately I couldn't.

"Yeah," I sighed.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Lucy asked genuinely. There it is! I knew this was going to happen. And I also knew that I was going to say yes.

"Even though I don't know her very well... I know that she has a terrible past. As bad as the past I have, but for a longer period of time," I explained.

"Gray if you don't mind, do mind telling us her name?" Erza asked considerately.

"Her name is Juvia. Juvia Lockser," I started. "She was cursed by the rain all her life. The rain followed her wherever she went and poured down on her physically and emotionally. I saved her from the rain during that battle." My comrades were silent for a moment, and Lucy even wiped a tear from her eye. Then Natsu began.

"Is this why you like her?"

"NATSU!" Lucy and Erza yelled at him unison, but stopped when they heard me chuckle.

"No. Even though we were fighting to the death, in the end, no one won or lost. She was kind, smart..." I couldn't help but pause before I said it, but I still said it. "...and beautiful," I spoke, slightly blushing.

"AWW! GRAY HAS A CRUSH!" Lucy screamed.

"Wait! You said her name is "Juvia Lockser" correct?" Erza asked.

"Yeah," I answered. "Why do you ask?" She then gave Lucy and Natsu a devilish smirk.

"NO WAY!" the two said as one.

"WHAT?!" I yelled at them, totally confused of what was happening.

"Oh nothing," Erza said, still having that smirk on her face.

"It's something alright! And I wanna know," I hissed back at her.

"You'll find out tomorrow." That was her final answer. The four of us were silent for a moment, until Lucy got up.

"Sorry to bother you Gray."

"It's ok," I answered.

"Well. We'll be on our way. Bye Gray," Erza said.

"Bye Gray," Natsu and Lucy said. Lucy and Erza left my apartment and on their way to their own, but weirdly, Natsu didn't. He stood facing an open window, that showed the open, dark night.

"Hey Natsu, you alright?" I asked him.

"Yeah I'm alright," the boy told me, still facing the same direction. After awhile of the still and silence from both of us, Natsu turned around, looked into my eyes, said the most confusing phrase he's ever said to me; "Gray... I'm sure you'll see her very soon." Then he vanished into thin air.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN!" I screamed at the eternal darkness. "They're so weird sometimes," I spoke to myself. As I shut my door closed, I couldn't stop thinking about Natsu's ending phrase. It was starting to creep me out.

"Juvia..."

Back In Micaela's Room:

Micaela: I can't believe you didn't tell Lucy about Juvia before Natsu.

Gray: I know right.

Micaela: So what happens next?

Gray: Well... Fairy Tail Academy gets some new transfers.
