Here at Fairy Tail High

Chapter 9: Let The Games Begin

Juvia's POV

This class was so boring. I wish Gray-sama were here. Gray-sama... I'd say our relationship has been coming along smoothly. So far this month I've talked to him successfully 18 times. It would usually go like this;

-

"Does Gray-sama need any help?"

Sigh, "No Juvia."

-

"Maybe Juvia and Gray-sama could hang out after school?"

Sigh, "I'm busy Juvia."

-

"Gray-sama! Let's study together!"

Sigh, "I don't think so Juvia."

-

"Gray-sama, could Juvia borrow a pencil?"

Sigh, "I don't have any Juvia."

-

Okay so maybe he's not super into it, but I'm not giving up.

I looked around the classroom, what class was this again?

"That one is really hot." Some boys said behind me.

I froze when I realized they were talking about me.

"I know, I would date her, but she talks in third person. It's creepy."

I lowered my head in embarrassment. Talk about rude, to bring up my flaw when I could easily hear them.

I can't help it. I just talk that way. You know when you sing something in your head, and it sounds great, but when I comes out you sound like an awkward dying pig? For me, it's the same concept when it comes to talking in first person.

Maybe I should try talking normally.

Ugh, but I can't, when I do it doesn't sound right. It doesn't sound like me. My parents are always telling me to be myself and not worry about what others think. I try, but it doesn't work. I get really self-conscious when I talk.

"Guys shut up!" A new voice said, "I think she's perfect just the way she is!"

"Get a life Lyon." The other boy said back.

I glanced back at the one named Lyon. He had white hair and was glaring daggers at the other boys who were talking bad about me.

I smiled, he was kind of cute.

I sighed.

I wish Gray-sama would stick up for me like that.

Ring.

That was the bell. I gathered my things and headed to the door. Before I could leave, someone stepped in front of me.

It was Lyon.

"H-hey...um, so I was wondering if you would like to study with me sometime later." He suggested.

I laughed, "You don't even know Juvia's name, and your asking her to study?"

"Well I know your name now, Juvia, I'm Lyon by the way. I just transferred here this year." He smiled.

"Alright, Lyon and Juvia can study together." I agreed.

"Perfect."

Lyon held the door open for me as I walked out. Then he waved and walked the opposite way.

Well I've got a study date now.

Just as I was thinking of this, Gray-sama walked by. I ran to catch up with him.
