Races for Love- A GaLe Lemon

Metalwork Class

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

For once, I was excited to get to school. There's a first time for everything. After Levy had left, I had spent all of Sunday working on my project nestled in the garage, it was almost like I couldn't wait to hear it roar to life, feel it drift, watch it take tightened corners but most of all, I really wanted to have the Shrimp in a seat next to me, eyes bogling, sick faced and giggling hysterically.

Inside my brain I had a voice screaming at me to get my sorry ass out of bed whilst the other just began to faintly prod at my brain!

Gihi! Shrimp time! I wonder if she would want to get in the Sport? I'd love to see how she takes it in the passenger seat... I wonder if the Shrimp can drive... Does she have a car?

Loads of questions flooded into my brain as I pilled on my uniform and I soon had a mental image of the Shrimp in 'female racer attire' and sitting in a sleekly designed black car, challenging me to a race.

I was soon getting out of my door, having to find another mode of transport to get to school, my motorcycle which sat in the garage alongside my project. It was a basic Harley Davidson, a popular bike due to it's customizability.

My bike was rarely used, only at the weekends and the loud growl of the engine rang in my ears. I slipped on my helmet, twisted the throttle and sped off without my backpack which was burnt to a crisp.

Oh well, it's not like I really needed the books and shit. I don't work in any classes apart from metalwork.

It felt like the longest time to wait, to drive and drive and drive and just drive. Road after road. Traffic light after traffic light. I didn't even live far from the school but it seemed like it was miles.

"Ughhhhhh!" I scowled, remembering that I forgot to feed Lily. "Shit!"

I did the right thing, turning around... doing a 'U turn' in the process.

Oh, how I did enjoying fucking up traffic. Gi hi! Damn cat!

~Time Skip~

I yet again clambered onto my motorbike, twisting the throttle and making my way to school. Yet more slow, painful torture whilst waiting to see a certain bluenette's angelic face. There was only one thing that had been on my mind, seeing the Shrimp, it was actually beginning to hurt.

I eased the bike until it hit a pretty fast speed, I was going to be late, no doubt about that. Well, at least I have something I like, metalwork class.

~Levy's POV~

I managed to fumble out of bed, traipsing down the stairs. I was a household member of the Heartifilia estate. Yes, an estate. Lucy is my sister, I was adopted by them at a young age after my mother and father died in a car accident when I was a mere child. I liked my family, they were polite and very welcoming and then there was their daughter...

Knock, knock!

"Yeah, come in!" I groaned, inspecting the bird's nest abomination nestled on my head.

"I know why you are dying to get to school!" Lucy busrst through the door, a grin stuck to her face with industrial strength glue.

"Ummm... Good morning?" I grumbled.

"Levy likes Gajeel!" The blonde chanted. "Levy likes Gajeel! Levy likes Gajeel!"

"L-Lu-chan! I-I... I do not!" My voice sounded extremely high, my brain was budy being filled with images. Damn those romance novels!

"There's no denying it! You: an innocent bookworm have fallen for a bad boy, a grump, a completed renegade! What were you doing when you were at Gajeel's house? Something naughty?" She still had a sly grin wrapped across her lips.

"I... I... I... Well! You've fallen for Natsu!" Is stammered back.

"Oh Mavis! Am I being too obvious?" Her tone of voice sounded worried.

"Nah! It is Natsu we are talking about here," I smiled. "He'll never like me back though, I mean look at me! No breasts, a total midget, I mean I spend all of my time at the library! He probably spends his time working on his Bugatti, overalls rolled down to the waist, no top..." My rambling became quieter.

"Excuse me! I am very jealous of your arse! You have the nicest rear end in the entire school!" She always knew how to lift my spirits.

"Come on, let's go. I don't want to be late!" I smirked inwardly.

~Time Skip~

Class had started a couple of minutes ago, when was Gajeel going to get here? I had got up early for him.

~Time Skip~

It had been half an hour, where is that boy?

~Time Skip~

Everyone was stood in a disorderly queue at the door, waiting for the bell to ring. Still no sign of a boy called Redfox.

~Time Skip~

It had been a couple of minutes into period 2, but the Redfox eventually arrived.
