Chapter 2

High

The food is nice, it's delicious. The people I'm with are the happy and eccentric ones. For the very first time I've been with them, I feel like I don't belong. Anywhere. Here. With him. I have no place where I belong. They keep on talking about his comeback. I just ate. I have so many questions. I have so much to say but I can't blurt it out. So I stayed silent.

Why would I even come to this dinner? What the hell am I really thinking?

Good thing that his seat is far from me but I still think that's it's a bad thing because I keep on glancing at his place. I don't even know if I'm in a good situation. I shouldn't think about it now. I shouldn't be thinking about the past anymore. I shouldn't bring it back.

So I didn't think any of it. I ate until all of it is done. I answer and join conversation if it is needed. I don't know if he's listening or what. I don't want to know. Just like before, I have to get through with life. Gajeel is right. I couldn't be broken again just because he's here.

After the dinner and all the chitchats, Lucy dragged my hand and we went to a club just beside the restaurant. All the girls actually dragged me to be here. I just laughed with them. I'll join, of course. Maybe, this is a good distraction. Maybe I'm in a good situation. This will be my diversion.

"Are you really okay with everything, Juvia?" Lucy asked me in a loud voice.

The music is too loud for us, if she talks in a low voice. It is a club and obviously, the place is lively because of the electronic music. I am even pumped up with the music. I couldn't deny it.

A waiter placed ours drinks in our table. It was a alcohol mix with vodka and come juice. I love this one. I took a sip. I nodded with Lucy's answer, quite distracted with the lively music.

"Of course." I said as I put down my drink on the table. She looked at me for a second. The other girls are already dancing. I could see Cana dancing with some random tall guy. She seems flirty with the guy.

"Really?" Lucy asked.

"He's here. I can't just tell him to go. That would be rude." I blurted. And that's the truth. Everybody seems to be concerned about him being here again. Even though, they're not asking, I could sense it with their looks. I can't control of Gray is here or not, if he's leaving or coming back to Magnolia. And I couldn't just tell him to go if he really wants to be here.

Lucy laughed at me. "Right. That would be so rude." Then, she stood up. "Come on, let's dance."

I smiled at her and stood up. Of course, I would dance.

We joined Erza and Mirajane in the middle of the crowd, where everyone is dancing. I danced through the rhythm of the music. This electronic dance makes me high. It's addicting. It makes me forget about everything.

Lucy and I were dancing, even grinding at each other. And we laughed at each other's moves. Lucy is dancing sexily in front of me. She even placed her hands on my butt. I laughed so hard with that. I don't even know if Lucy is drunk or she's just playful tonight. And I also played with her; joining her with her moves. I move forward to Lucy while dancing, swaying my hips as lean to her body. She laughed at that too. Erza and Mirajane are laughing at us. I don't mind. It's like girls are just having fun.

Then, l saw a pink-haired guy dancing behind Lucy. She stiffened a little as she felt the hand on her waist but she continued to dance. It is Natsu, of course. I smirked at her. She raised her eyebrow at me before she face Natsu. She put her arms at Natsu's shoulder. Then, they dance. I laughed at those two.
