~Levy's P.O.V.~
I smiled as I looked at my letter to Gajeel. How long had we been doing this? Three weeks? This was the last letter being sent between the two of us before out next job. I set down the pen Gajeel had sent with the first letter he sent me.
"What are you smiling at?" Lucy came up beside me asking. I looked at her and smiled.
"I just finished my letter to Gajeel." I replied standing up. "I need to get it in an envelope and seal it away ask quickly as I can. I need to start studying up on the job that Gajeel and I are doing next week."
"I can take if for you Levy."
"N-no, that's alright." I stuttered feeling nervous she'd read it on the way to the desk with my needed materials. "I have it but thank you for the offer." I smiled at my best friend again and walked away from her quickly, swinging my shoulder bag over my shoulder quickly. That was almost too awkward.
I grabbed an envelope from the desk and folded my letter slipping it inside. "There." I said. I ran my tongue across the seal and laid it on the desk to be sent out to the other schools. "I hope he likes that one." I laughed to myself and the girl next to the desk looked at me funny. I just gave her a shy smile and walked away.
I walked to my locker as the bell rang signaling that it was now time to head to second period. I picked up my phone and dropped my English text book in my locker. I checked my phone, I had a message from Lucy. I sighed.
"Hey Lev! I need details on your pen pal. I've never seen you look so... Happy when looking at something you had to write for school." It said. I sighed.
"He's just warming up to me a bit." I texted back. "It makes me happy that he isn't a grouch like I thought he would be."
I turned off my phone once I was sure it sent and put my phone back in my locker. I picked up my Science text book, slung my bag over my shoulder, and walked to class.
~Gajeel's P.O.V.~
There was a knock on my door as I was putting my shoes on. I finished then I growled and got up, "What'd ya want?" I asked rudely opening the door. I was surprised to see Juvia standing there. "Oh rain lady, it's you." I looked over her, the cloud was gone. I looked at her face and she was actually smiling.
"Gajeel," Juvia said looking at me closely, almost too close. When did she get so bad about personal space? "Juvia was worried you weren't coming to school today. You have a letter that arrived yesterday and you have briefing for your job with the small girl."
"Yeah, I figured her letter came in today. I wrote her four days ago." I replied grabbing my bag.
"A backpack?" She asked looking at me strangely. "You never carry one of those."
"Levy suggested it." I slung it over my shoulder and she giggled slight. "What's with the giggling and smiles?" I asked coldly closing my door and locking it.
"Gajeel let someone else give him suggestions."
I blushed slightly and looked away from her and down the hall, "Tch, let's just go rain lady." I walked down the hall and listened to a giggly Juvia the whole way to the school.
When I arrived at the school, there was hardly anyone there. I ran into a few people who were ripping up pieces of paper. "Oi, Gajeel!" Someone called. I turned my head, a guy, I couldn't remember his name, stared at me, "How do you stand this system?" He asked.
I smirked, "My partner isn't an idiot." I replied. I continued walking and Juvia followed. "How are you enjoying this pen pal thing?" I asked Juvia on the way to my locker.
"Well Juvia is sure that Gray likes her." She replied. "Juvia is going to have all Gray's children!"
"What?!" I looked at her. She had a very happy expression on her face. "Y-you like that Fairy that way?"
Juvia nodded and pulled out a letter from her pocket, "After our job next week, I'm going to send him this!" She said excitedly. She shoved it back in her bag.
"What is that?" I asked glaring at her hand in her bag.
"My transfer. He's going to give it to Makrov and I'm going to join Fairy Tail."
"Y-you what?!"
"Gajeel-,"
"Yer gonna be a Fairy?!"
"Y-yeah. Is Gajeel okay with that?"
I slammed my locker, not bothering to put anything in it. I just walked away angrily.
I tapped my pen against my desk picking up the letter from Levy. I didn't want to open it. I was scared to know what she would say in the last letter I had sent her had my letter and a transfer paper she could fill out to join my school. I really needed her in studying.
"Gajeel?" Juvia walked up to me and looked down at me, "Did Juvia upset you this morning?"
"No." I said bitterly. "I understand yer want to be a Fairy, it sucks here." I stopped tapping my pen and set it and the letter down. I propped my feet up on the chair next to me. "Though I'm sure you could go to a stronger school."
Juiva shook her head, " Gajeel, Fairy Tail is plenty strong. Plus Juvia wants to be with Gray." She smiled lightly, which made me smile. I was glad to see her happy. It didn't change that he still hated a lot of the people there especially the salamander he kept hearing about.
"Alright," I said giving up on the topic. "Whatever ya want."
"You could come too." She offered. I looked up at her.
"Are ya crazy? They'll never let me transfer there. I'm a slacker and..." I thought for a moment, "I may or may not have beat up two kids from there."
"So? Fairy Tail is pretty forgiving. Gray even told me."
I shook my head and picked up Levy's letter and waved Juvia away. "Shoo." I pealed it open.
Hey Gajeel!
Um, well I'm not sure what to say. I don't really want to transfer there. People there tend to be really rude and jerky. Plus, all my friends are here Gajeel. Lucy, Jet, Droy, Natsu, Gray, even my teachers are my friends.
And don't take that last thing wrong. You're my friend too, you giant. I just want to stay here with them so... I thought why don't you transfer here? When we go on our job next week I'll have the papers for you, you just need to fill them out and give them back so I can give them to Makarov. He already said your transfer would be okay as long as you don't pick fights and you keep up your grades, which I can help you with.
Think about it?
-Levy McGarden of Fairy Tail, Solid Script Mage.
P.S. I'm not that small! Stop calling me small!
I chuckled and put the letter down. She wanted me to transfer to Fairy Tail too. I knew that they were not going to welcome me with open arms. Maybe I could if I prove I'm a better person. And that's when the speaker came on breaking my thoughts.
"Attention students," it boomed, "Phantom Lord High will be shutting down at the end of the year due to lack of student body. You will be relocated to a new school for the next school year if you haven't put in a transfer yet."
I sighed. Fairy Tail it was...
