Juvia's POV

To be honest, school sucks, okay. This day particularly the worst I would say.

Tonight Mira all invited us the the movie theater to watch Let the Rain Fall. It's a high school romance drama thing, based off a book. But seriously Mira? Everything she plans, has a reason. I'm a little hesitant to go to this little outing but I'm going anyway.

Right now is currently my free period, and I was heading to the courtyard with Erza.

"Hmm...no wait hold up. I need to stop by my locker first." Erza said.

"Sure," I replied.

We switched directions and headed off the the south side where her locker was.

I'll tell you right now, this was not a good idea.

While we were walking, I happened to glance in a classroom. I'm guessing it was a History class. The thing was, I happened to catch eyes with the one and only Gray Fullbuster. His eyes widened then he did that thing where he quickly looked away, making his hair fall in his face.

Ahhhhasdfghjkl

When he does that he makes it hard to get over him. I grabbed Erza's arm and dragged her forward hoping to get away.

"Whaa?" Erza started but she noticed Gray, who was now openly watching us turn the corner, "...oh."

That kid is giving me problems. He's like extra calorie fudge cake to my brain. I can't resist to stare and engulf him, then when I have realized what I've done, I push him to the back of my mind and try to throw him out. But then my brain goes nooo you can't throw out my fudge cake!  So I bring him back and it starts all over again.

Anyway, we proceeded to walk to Erza's locker and when we got there, the first thing I noticed was a group of chicks across the hallway. It didn't take a genius to know that they were all fawning over Jellal, who was grabbing something from his locker too. We went ahead to her locker because on most occasions they just ignored anyone other than Jellal.

This was not one of those occasions.

It started with Meadow. She threw back her (obviously dyed) blonde hair and shifted her gaze to Erza. The fake blonde studied her intently with narrowed eyes. But she wasn't the only one getting an eyeful of Erza either.

Meadow noticed Jellal practically drooling over the red head from his locker, and her eyes widened.

I was about to scream, YEAH BITCH, HE LIKES ERZA NOT YOU MUAHAHAHA.

Except I didn't do that because that designer handbag she was carrying would have had a straight beeline to my face, for sure. And those things are hard and painful, and I'm speaking from experience.

Well, Meadow didn't like what was going down so she strutted up to Erza and slammed her locker shut. Erza looked up in surprise, holding her hand that almost had been crushed to death if she hadn't taken it out in time.

The bell rang, and student started milling around us.

"Aw, look you it is. You know I've never seen you in a skirt besides in your uniform." Meadow pointed out.

"What's it to you?" Erza asked.

"Oh I don't know, I'm just questioning your feminism." She replied.

Erza's face turned white. She hated when she got teased for being not-so-girlish.

I stepped up, "Hey, knock it off, Meadow." I threatened.

"No, I think you should back off Juvia." Meadow growled.

"Why don't you make me." I replied.

She smiled kind of devilishly.

"I used you like you. What the heck happened to you?" Meadow asked innocently. "And you started doing this..."

Meadow grabbed my arm and ripped my sleeve back. She turned my arm up so everyone could see my cutting scars.

People started murmuring and stopping to watch us.

I desperately tried to take my arm back, but her nails were digging into my skin.

I almost started to cry. I felt humiliated. Nobody was supposed to see those, and now everyone had stopped walking to their classes to stare at my depression scars.

"Oh this one looks new..." Meadow hissed and pressed down on one of the cuts. The scab over it broke and blood started to spill down my wrist.

She was right, that one was from yesterday.

"Oh did I hurt you?" She asked with fake sympathy.

I can't really tell you how much I wanted to slap her right then in here.

"Please stop." I said quietly.

I could see a furious Erza a few yards away at the edge of the crowd. She looked like a wound up bull. It took a whole group of girls to hold her back, fearing that if they let her loose, she might cause World War III.

"I can't believe your down to this." Meadow shook her head. "We all know it's because of your fall out with Gray."

She laughed hysterically.

That was when Gray pushed through the crowd and stomped up to us. He was mumbling quietly but sounded angry.

"Stupid slutbag...thinks she can...I don't think so..."

He went up to Meadow and grabbed her collar, lifting her into the air.

"Don't. You. Ever. Touch. Juvia. Again." He growled and full out punched her in the face. She slumped onto the floor, unconscious, and people started walking away, satisfied with the show.

Gray turned to look at me but before he or I could say anything, Erza had grabbed me and dragged me away from there.

We ducked in a bathroom and Erza took my arm. She studied the scars and then groaned.

"First off, and bad Juvia! You are not allowed to do this!" Erza shouted and calmed down a bit, "Why didn't you tell us you were...cutting yourself?"

"I didn't want you to worry..."

"Well I'm a hell of a lot worried now." She stated.

"I'll...look, whenever of get tempted, I'll call you, okay?"

She nodded.

"And Juvia, I know right about now, you probably want to die in a hole and ever face everyone out there ever again,"

I nodded, that was exactly want to wanted to do.

"But you can't. You have to get out there and finish your day, " she pointed aggressively at me, "And your going to the movies tonight with everyone."

I sighed and agreed.

I rubbed my arms then walked out of that bathroom.

A/N
First off, that is not how I originally planned that chapter, wow.
\\\Now I apologize for not updating in a while, I'm sorry. I won't be updating as often as I once did because soccer season started and school is starting on the 26th
Just a heads up.
I feel like I'm making this story too depressing...I'm sorrrrrry o(╥﹏╥)o
I'll try to make it a little more happy and funny.
Other thing, I'm kinda at war with my self, because Romeo and Wendy seem like perfect for each other, but they never have any moments in the series or anything.
And now I've found myself secretly shipping Mest/Doranbolt and Wendy. They are so kawaii, it's just the age difference that's the problem.
What are doing to me Mashima-sensi?!?!?!
