CHAPTER 10: Ultear Senpai and the Delinquent Laxus.


GRAY'S P.O.V

I was eating breakfast with Lyon and Ultear when I looked at the clock to see the time. It's already 7:10am. Oh! She told me to be early today! She said I should come around 7, but I forgot so...my thought was interrupted by Lyon. "Hey Gray! I heard you were helping the council!"

"Yea...so?" I asked taking a bite from my sandwich.

"YOU'RE HELPING THE COUNCIL?" exclaimed mom. Don't think I'm capable of helping others? I thought.

"Well that's new!" Ultear said.

"What do you mean by that?" I felt a twitch of annoyance.

"Nothing! I was just surprise that you're helping others. Before, it was just me, Lyon and Ultear that you're helping, there's Loke and Natsu as well, but now, I never would've thought of you helping others, and the council?" Mom said, smiling.

"Whatever." I said standing up "I'm going now. Thanks for the meal." I said before I left.

"Hey Gray wait for us! Bye mom!" said Ultear.

"Bye mom! See you later! Gray wait!" said Lyon.

I just kept on walking until they catch up on me. I really am late now. Lucy will be mad, well, it's not like I care.

UR'S P.O.V

"I'm glad that you're slowly changing back to your old self, Gray..." Ur said, smiling.

"Bye guys, see you all later...well time to go to work!" She said to herself.

AT SCHOOL...

Normal P.O.V

Gray went straight to the council room. He thought that Lucy will not be able to wait that long, but he still went there.

When he opened the door...

"YOU'RE LATE!" Lucy exasperatedly said as if she knew that it was Gray. Gray on the other hand quivered slightly by the way Lucy was glaring at him, but shook it off and said, "I-I forgot!"

"DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO BE HERE AT 7? WE ARE GOING TO DISTRIBUTE THESE WAVERS TO THE STUDENTS!"

"You don't have to shout you know.."

"WHY DO YOU THINK I'M SHOUTING RIGHT NOW, HUH? WHOSE FAULT IS IT?"

"The clock? Ok I'm sorry alright.."

Lucy sighed heavily.

"Now we need to skip class just to distribute these..." she said sadly.

"I said I'm sorry, WAIT! Did you say SKIP CLASS?"

"Are you deaf or something? We're going to skip class just to distribute these damn-"

"YYYEEEESSSS!" she was cut off by a happy Gray.

"-thing. Wait why are you so excited all of a sudden? We're going to skip class! And if we're not attending class, then we will learn nothing! And if we learn nothing we will fail! Don't you understand that?"

"What are you talking about? Why would we fail if all our subjects are that easy? And I'm not the type of person to listen to something I already knew. And besides, our exams are not that hard you know!"

Lucy fell silent for a moment. So he's not listening to what the teachers are teaching? And our exams are not that hard? I admit, even if I'm the schools number one student, the exams are DIFFICULT! I can't believe this guy. He could pass all those hard exams without sweat? Then maybe if I didn't study hard, will he surpass me?, "Hey!" Lucy's thought was cut off by Gray.

"W-what?" Asked Lucy.

"I said, lets distribute this now so that we could finish early and you could attend your damn class..." Gray said with much sarcasm that he could muster.

Lucy didn't expect Gray to say this. She knew that Gray had change, and never expected him to say that.

"Hey! Are you even listening to me? Geez..." Gray said, annoyed being ignored. Well, Lucy was not ignoring him, actually she more of thinking about him. (A/N: Teehee!)

"Thanks..." Lucy said in a low voice.

"Huh?"

"I didn't say anything. Now, we're going to distribute these by year level. I'll take the 1st and 2nd year you take the 3rd and the 4th. Explain to them everything that we talked about yesterday. And that's all."

Lucy was about to walk out of the room when...

"WAIT!"

Lucy turns around to see Gray, eyes wide, mouth slightly open and stiff?

"What?" she asked.

"W-well, can I take the 1st and 2nd?"

"Why?"

"Because! I-Its none of your business.." Gray said looking anywhere but Lucy's eyes.

Lucy squinted her eyes.

"..BYE!" she said.

"WAIT!" Gray stopped her again.

Lucy then glared.

"WHY IS IT THEN?"

"My brother and sister are in the 3rd and 4th year. I-I don't want them to tease me when I go to their classrooms..."

"So you're...embarrassed?" Lucy asked as her eyebrows furrowed.

"OF COURSE NOT! It's just...Ultear and Lyon are really going to laugh at me and I don't want that to happen. AGAIN." Gray said emphasizing the word 'again'.

Ultear? Lucy thought.

"By Ultear, do you mean...Ultear Fullbuster?"

"Yea she's the one. How do you know her?" Gray said with curiosity in his voice.

"YOU'RE ULTEAR SENPAI'S BROTHER?" Lucy said in glee.

"...yea...why?" Gray said freaking out by the way Lucy is asking.

"She so awesome!"

.

.

.

"...huh?" Gray asked, as he slightly tilted his head, totally confused.

"Oh My Gosh! I can't believe that you're her brother. Why didn't I even think about it when I heard your surname?"

"Uhm...could you tell me what's happening?"

"Oh, I guess she didn't tell you huh? You see, she saved me before, when I was being hurt by Laxus."

"Laxus?"

"Yea? You don't know him? He's the schools most delinquent student. The principal's grandson, Laxus Dreyar." Lucy said in disgust.

"Oh yea. I heard about him. They say he liked one girl that's studying here. They say she's so beautiful..."

Lucy blushed.

"...I wonder who that girl is."

Lucy sweat dropped.

Gray looked at Lucy, and remembered what she was talking about earlier.

"Wait! Don't tell me it's you?"

Lucy nodded still blushing.

...

...

"But they say the girl was so beautiful!"

"What do you mean by that?" Lucy pouted.

"I'm just kidding.." Gray loved the way he's teasing her. She's looks like a child when pouting like that. Gray smiled in his thought.

"So what happened?.." Gray asked so she could continue.

"Huh? Oh, well, she saw me being dragged by Laxus behind the school. Once Laxus successfully pinned me on the wall, and his face inches away from mine, Ultear senpai saved me. She was really good in martial arts, and I was thankful she's not hurt when Laxus tried to attack her. I called for help so that Laxus would run away, he did eventually. After that, she checked if I was hurt or anything..."

FLASHBACK

"Are you alright?" Ultear asked Lucy.

Lucy nodded and cried.

"Then why are you crying?"

"B-Because I don't know what's gonna happen if you hadn't come and rescue me from him."

"It's alright now, so don't cry.." Ultear said hugging and patting Lucy's head.

"How about you are you alright?" Lucy asked, concerned.

"uh-huh" Ultear said and smiled.

"Thank goodness!" Lucy sighed, "Uhm, thank you! For saving me!" Lucy then added.

"You're welcome...?" Ultear said asking for Lucy's name.

"Lucy!" Lucy said and smiled.

"Oh! You're welcome Lucy. My name's Ultear, please to meet you!"

END OF FLASHBACK

"So..did you tell the teachers or the police?"

Lucy shook her head.

"Why?"

Lucy lost her smile and said, "I can't. Because if I ever tell anybody about this and he got kicked out of this school he will surely blame me and I don't know what other bad things he could do. So please Gray, don't tell anyone..."

So that's why she hated guys! Wait it's not hate! Gray thought as she looked at Lucy who looks so frightened as she look down at her feet. It's fear!

Gray suddenly felt that he should change the subject.

"Alright. So can we switch?"

"What?" Lucy asked, she totally forgot the waver thing..

"Uhm, aren't we suppose to be distributing those?" Gray said pointing the wavers from Lucy's hands.

Lucy looked at what she's holding and remembered it.

"Oh My Gosh! I totally forgot! This is all your fault!"

"HUH? My fault? How did it become my fault?"

"Because you wanted to switch!"

"Well, you're the one who started it! If you didn't ask why I wanted to switch then this would not happen!"

"Now you're blaming me?"

"Because it's true."

(Glare)

(Glare)

"Fine! Then I won't switch with you!" Lucy pouted again

"FINE!..WAIT! Grr..Just switch with me!"

"Fine! I'll switch with you but on one condition!"

"Alright what?"

"Tell Ultear senpai that I still owe her. And tell her 'Thank you' alright. Tell that it's from me, Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy smiled.

Gray blushed. She really looked like her. Gray said thinking of the girl in the rooftop.

"But you will see her when you distribute these, right? So why do I still need to tell her that?" Gray has a point.

"Are you an idiot? If I tell her in front of the class, of course her classmates will be curious as to why I'm thanking her and why I owe her my life. Then the Laxus issue will spread out and you know what will happen next, right?" Lucy asked annoyed. She has a point as well.

"What will happen?" Gray said teasing her again.

"UHG! I really hate talking to you!" Lucy exasperatedly said.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding...Alright. Then it's settled. Ms. Hot head!"

"What did you just call me?" Lucy snapped.

"I said 'Ms. Hot head!'"

"Uhg, then I'll call Mr. Pervert! Hmp!"

"What?" Gray said. He is having fun.

Gray left after Lucy, smiling.

I can't believe I'm actually enjoying her company. Gray thought.

Lucy on the other hand walked fast, so that Gray won't see her smiling and blushing face.

..ooOoo..

The two distributed the wavers one class after the other.

With Gray…

Sigh. I can't believe I'm actually doing this. Gray thought as he was standing outside one of the doors of the first years.

He knocked and said his excuse. The door opened and revealed a beautiful woman with pink hair. "Good morning Aries Sensei." He said.

"Good morning what can I do for you?" Aries Sensei said.

"I was send here by the council to distribute these. It's for the trip." He said casually.

"Oh! I see. Please do come in." She said as she smiled.

I stepped inside and the once noisy classroom become silent.

"Who is he?"

"I don't know but he's cute!"

"I think he's Gray the second smartest, next to Lucy Senpai."

"Really? He's so awesome"

"Gray!"

"GRAY SENPAI! KYAA!"

I heard some of them say. What have I gotten myself into? I thought.

"Gray Senpai why are you here?" one of the girls said.

"Class please calm down! He's here because of the school trip. He will explain to you everything about it, so please be quiet. Ask questions after he's done." Aries Sensei said trying to calm her class down but failed.

"I'm sorry about this Gray." She said.

"Sigh. It's alright Sensei. I think I can handle this." I said.

"Alright." I said. They quieted down and listened. Wow I never thought I could actually make them listen to me.

Gray explained everything about the trip to the class and after that they asked questions. It took him 30 minute to finish one class. Some asked about the trip, some asked something not related to the trip. It did piss him off but still composed himself because they are freshmen.

"So I guess I see you on the trip?" Gray asked.

"Oh we'll be there Senpai!"

"Yea totally!"

"Senpai your so cool!"

"Great! I'll see you there." Gray said and left.

One down nine to go. Sigh. Gray thought as he walked to the next class. It took him three and a half hours just to finish all of them. It tires him out of course, but this was a whole new other experience for him.

Every other class are all the same. Squealing at first then questions not related to the trip- more or less about him- then squealing again.

With Lucy…

Knock, Knock, Knock

"What?" A beautiful, blue long haired woman asked in a cold manner.

"Uhm, G-Good Morning Aquarius Sensei. I-I'm here to discuss the upcoming trip and to distribute these wavers to the students." Lucy said.

"Hmm. Alright come in and make it fast. I want to finish this lesson today." Aquarius Sensei said.

"Alright…" Lucy said as she walks inside.

(Silence)

"Uhm, Good Morning. I'm here to discuss something about the trip…"

"Hey Lucy!"

"My Love!"

Lucy ignored the two and continued discussing the trip.

Aquarius smirked at two boys giving them a silent teasing glance.

Natsu and Loke are clearly disappointed for being ignored.

"What's the matter with her?" Lucy heard someone say.

She noticed that some girls are- obviously- glowering at her. She ignored it at first but then she heard one of the girls say "Just because you're a little cute doesn't mean you can act so arrogant."

Lucy was taken aback. What did she do to make these girls annoyed? "Excuse me but are you talking about me?" Lucy asked the girl.

"We know that you're rich, smart and beautiful but don't act all high and mighty in front of us and especially in front of Loke-sama!" said the girl. Oh! So that's it. It's because I ignored Loke. Sigh. Lucy thought. She was about to say something when Aquarius Sensei's voice interrupted her.

"That's enough. Miss Heartfillia please continue." Aquarius Sensei said. Lucy just nodded and ignored the stares that she receives.

"So I hope to see you all there." Lucy said as she bowed her head.

"Don't expect anything from me!"

"Yea me too!"

"We won't go!"

Lucy head is still bowed down when she heard this.

Loke and Natsu couldn't take it anymore. These girls are treating Lucy harshly from the beginning.

"I'll come!" Natsu said and grinned and waved his hand in the air.

"I'll definitely go with my Love!" Loke said smiling brightly at Lucy.

"We'll go too!" The boys roared. Lucy stared at them at the moment and cast a smile before nodding.

The girls gasped and one by one they said "W-Well if Loke-sama will come then I think I'll be there as well."

"Y-Yea me too."

Lucy smiled.

"Thank you." Lucy whispers and Loke read her lips and whispered back "Your welcome." and winked at her.

Lucy beamed a grateful smile at him that made his heart go wild. What is this I'm feeling? Loke asked himself inwardly.

"So are you finished?" Aquarius asked Lucy and breaks Loke's moment.

Loke frowned at his teacher. Aquarius saw it and smug.

"Yes." She answered and turned her head to the class and said "Thank you for your cooperation. I guess I'll see you on the trip."

"See ya!" Natsu yelled. Lucy smiled at him and then to Loke. Loke eyed her until she's out of sight. Lucy… Loke thought.

...

Lucy was walking towards the seniors classrooms and stopped at the first section. Section A where Erza, Jellal, Seigrain, and Ultear are.

She knocked and Erza opened it. "Erza! Uhm where is Scorpio Sensei?" Lucy asked.

"Lucy I've been waiting for you! Why are you only now?" Erza asked disregarding Lucy's question.

"Is it Gray?" Erza asked. How did she know that? Lucy thought.

"Uhm. No it's my fault. I should be here at seven but I slept too much and forgot to set my alarm clock and I got here five minutes before 7:30." Lucy lied.

"So you're telling me that it's not his fault?" Erza arched and eyebrow.

"Uhm, Y-Yea…"

"Alright. Let me handle this class for you. Go to the other sections."

"But…"

"It's ok…I'll handle this." Erza said and closed the door leaving Lucy outside with mouth wide open.

Sigh. I really want to see Ultear Senpai. Lucy thought and proceeded to the next class

..ooOoo..

When Gray finished he saw Lucy in the hallway, holding the last set of wavers on her hand, so he called her.

"Hey Ms. Hot Head! What are you doing just standing there?" Gray called Lucy's attention.

Lucy turned to see Gray...

"Gray?" Lucy said in a scared voice.

Gray was surprised. She didn't call him Mr. Pervert like he was expecting to, instead he was called by his first name and with a..Scared voice?

"Hey, why aren't you going inside?"

"Gray! What am I gonna do?" Lucy said almost crying and walked closer to Gray.

"Huh?"

"Laxus…he's a fourth year student…and this…this room is...this is his section, room 4-E. What will I do Gray?" Lucy said clutching Gray's shirt. Gray blushed again. Man this girl really knows how to make him blush.

Gray sighed. "Alright. I'll accompany you."

Lucy's face brightened up. "Really?"

"Yea so you can let go of my shirt now."

Lucy looked at what she is grasping. She took her hand off of Gray's shirt and apologized.

"Let's just go finish this. So you can still attend afternoon classes."

Lucy looked at Gray and smiled. "Thanks Gray..."

"Come on..." Gray walked passed Lucy so that she will not see his burning cheeks.

...

They entered the room, class 4-E. The room full of delinquents, Laxus being one of them.

Lucy stepped in after Gray. The Class calmed down.

"Wow! The first time this class quieted down. Thank you for doing that Mr. Fullbuster...eh, Ms. Heartfilia? Oh so that's why it's quiet!" Mr. Clive said.

"Hey Old man!" Gray greeted.

THUD

"Don't call me that while we're inside the school!" Mr. Clive said after throwing a book on Gray's face.

"GRAY!" Lucy ran towards Gray with a worried expression.

"THAT HURTS!" Gray said annoyed.

"Well, I already told you to call me Sensei or Mr. Clive while inside the school!"

"Well, you're the one that told us to call you old man in the first place. I got used to it so there you have it!"

(LAUGHTER)

"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT!" Gray and Mr. Clive snapped at the class.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Lucy!"

Lucy got stiff hearing the voice. She and Gray looked over and saw a blonde haired boy with a thunder like scar on the right side of his face.

"L-Laxus.." Lucy said with a scared tone.

"Hey Laxus, don't start alright!" Mr. Clive said. He knows that Laxus likes Lucy.

Gray looked at Lucy and was shocked. He never thought that the hot head girl he knew, the girl that's not afraid of his glares, and the first girl (besides Ur) that slapped him, will look like this. Lucy is quivering, sweating, and shaking because of fear. He can't handle the sight, so he put his hands on Lucy's shoulder.

"I'll handle this." Gray said.

("Fine! Just ignore me!" Mr. Clive said and walked out of the classroom)

... Gray stood up.

... He went to the teacher's table and put the wavers on top of it.

...

"Please come to the school trip. Thank you." Gray said.

(SILENCE)

"That's it?" asked everyone except Laxus and Lucy.

Gray nodded.

"Don't tell me that that's what you told every class that you've been?" Lucy asked.

"Well yea. What else will I tell them?" Gray said with a serious face.

"GRAY YOU IDIOT!" Lucy fumed.

Gray closed his eyes because of the loudness of her voice, but then smiled.

"Now that's the Hot Head girl I know!"

Lucy can't believe what she's seeing right now. Gray is...

SMILING? At HER?

Gray looked back at the class and told them everything about the trip. Lucy was still looking at Gray. This angered Laxus. He went in front and gets hold of Lucy. The latter flinch at the sudden contact.

"Why are you ignoring me huh, Lucy?" Laxus said, pinning Lucy on the wall.

"L-Laxus please.." Lucy said quivering again.

Gray was shocked by what Laxus did and then got angry.

"Get away from her…" Gray said in a calm voice but with a dangerous ring to it. Laxus and Lucy looked at him.

"Is it because of him?" Laxus then asked in a low voice so Lucy will be the only one to hear it. (A/N: Well, yea, Lucy didn't notice Laxus because she was looking only at Gray. XP)

"I SAID GET AWAY FROM HER!" Gray shouted and glares at Laxus. Laxus glared in return.

Right then, Mr. Clive went running inside because of the yell and got surprised at what is happening.

Laxus and GRAY? Are fighting over LUCY? Wow! This is a scoop. Mr. Clive thought and then went back to reality when he noticed that Laxus is pinning Lucy uncomfortably on the wall.

"Hey Laxus! Let go of Ms. Heartfilia."

Right then, Laxus' and Gray's glaring competition came to a halt. Laxus let go of Lucy and came closer to Gray.

"We'll meet again brat!" Laxus sneered at Gray.

Gray just keeps on glaring at him.

"Come on Lucy! Let's get out of here! I really don't care if they go to trip or not."

Lucy nodded and followed Gray out.

"Oh I'll come!" Laxus said to himself, grinning evilly.

...

"Thank you!" Lucy said after a long silence.

"huh? For what?"

"For saving me, from him."

"Don't mention it. Wait now that you mention it, you owe me as well!" Gray said looking back at Lucy.

"Well I think I do, Mr. Pervert."

"What? After I saved you that's what you're calling me?"

"Well, it's just payback for what you called me earlier in the hallway."

"How grateful of you to say that!"

Lucy made a teasing smiled and remembered something.

"Wait! Did you really explain everything, about the trip, to the first and second year students?"

"You told me so right? That's our task, so we should follow it or else, we will face Erza's wrath."

"Yea.."

(SHIVER)

"That sounded really painful...well, I'm going to my classroom, you?"

"I'll probably stay at the rooftop..." Gray said walking away from her.

Lucy froze.

"Well, see you then..." Lucy said and started to walked but then stopped, looked back and continued "...Mr. Pervert!"

Gray stopped looked back at Lucy and snapped "STOP CALLING ME THAT! MS. HOT HEAD!".

Lucy playfully stuck her tongue out and run towards her classroom. Gray on the other hand blushed again.

Geez! That girl, really. Why does she always do this to me? Gray thought and continues walking to the rooftop.

..ooOoo..
