Ch. 45 - Evening confessions

      "Lulu! Guess what song was played for my time with Gajeel?!" Levy couldn't help squirming around me. I could tell that she was about to burst out from her so, instead of guessing, I lazily pointed my finger at her. "I give up. You tell me-"

"The xbox played..." I knew it. To my surprise, she gasped to stop herself from speaking then, looked directly upon me. Tilting her head, she asked, "Wait, what happened to you? Girl, you look pale."

     “That's because I'm fricking snow white.” I replied sarcastically, not feeling the mood to tell her about what had happened. Running a hand through my hair, Levy held my free hand and looked worriedly at me.

     "Lu-chan, seriously, what's wrong?" I took a deep breath before looking in her direction. "Nothing, really. Nothing."

She lifts an eyebrow, holsing out her phone. "Lu, you're gonna tell me that problem or are you gonna make me spill that you like--" I made her muffle her words in time. She threw my hand away and managed to breathe properly. "Lu, what the hell?!"

    I shrugged, "I can't have you spreading his name like wildfire." I folded my arms, looking away from her. "Fine, if you're so curious. I fought with Natsu."

    Her eyes widened, "Well, what did you two fight about?"

     I shook my head. "All this time, I've been in love with him yet he doesn't seem to notice. And there are times when he sounds like confessing or when he's about to do something romantic then flush them down the drain when he admits he's joking, it gets my heartbeat rising then it sinks down when he cancels..."

     Levi patted my head and nodded, "Yeah, I strongly suggest you confess to him." Lifting an eyebrow at her, she looks me in the eyes and nods. "I'm serious. It wasn't even a joke." she holds both of my hands and rose it up in the air. "Lu-chan, confess to him on this day."

I shook my head, folded my arms, looking away from her with a pout and blushed. "Levy! Don't ask me to do something impossible. I cannot do it."

"Lucy, how can he change his actions towards you if he doesn't even know how you feel?" she bit her bottom lip at making her argument before tapping me on the shoulder to tell me to come with her since we saw Principal Vermillion on some kind of stage with the other members of the faculty.

"So unfortunate to end this day too early but it is time for a break, as the faculty members have agreed on. Everybody's rooms will be arranged by class and gender. Please, do go to your homeroom advisers and have your luggages arranged to your assigned rooms. Thank you for everyone's participation! We bid you a good day!" as the principal bowed, she puts the microphone down and chatted with the faculty members.

     Levy kept on comforting me all the time as we went to our assigned bedrooms up til we dressed up for our casual clothings. "I say, let's stroll this evening? It would be fun to explore...here." I suggested with a very deep sigh.

     "Exploring the gym. Classic." Levy chuckled as she closed her suitcase then freshened up. "Lucy, I would love to go with you but..." she paused to brush her teeth. "I...I..." she tucks a lock of her hair behind her ear to gargle. "I was actually invited by Gajeel to listen to this new song he said he was working on and I, um," she bit her bottom lip while putting her hands together.

     I shook my head, "No! No, I don't--I don't mind, Lev. You should really go with him." Levy held both of my hands and I could tell that she was about to cry. "Lev, I say, you go out there and listen to Gajeel. It's a chance to be with the guy you like. Even if it's just gonna be about his new song."
