One Might Call This Love (Gruvia)

Chapter two- Lesson

"Did you get that paper done for me?"

"Yes."

Juvia pulled the paper out, and handed it to the teacher. After quickly looking over it, he gave her a small smile.

"Good. But try and pay attention today."

"Right."

Nobody else was in the classroom yet, and even Lyon hadn't stopped by to see her. She had left for school rather early, seeing Juvia couldn't sleep. Just as she turned to walk up to her seat, he stopped her.

"Juvia?"

"Hmm?"

"What happened to your eye?"

Her muscles tightened as she remembered Lyon's hand coming towards her.

"Juvia tripped and fell."

After eyeing her for a moment, he sighed.

"Okay."

She quickly walked to her seat, and pulled a book out. After getting about twenty minutes of reading in, the classroom was starting to get to noisy.
"Juvia just wants to read her book..."

A paper came flying out of nowhere, and hit her in the head. Reaching down and picking it up, she un-folded it, and sighed.

'Rain, rain, go away! Take Juvia far away!'

Looking up from the paper, she noticed a group of girls laughing at her. For some reason, people started a rumor that whenever she cries, it'll rain.

"Everyone, in your seats!"

The teacher's voice filled the room, causing everyone to go quiet. Once everyone was seated, Mr. Fullbuster pulled a stack of papers off his desk.

"We'll start with filling these out. Once everyone is finished, we'll watch a short video. You all are expected to take notes."

A few groans were heard throughout the classroom. The paper was slid in front of Juvia, and she let out a sigh. Most of the problems she had no idea how to answer. After a good ten minutes deciding whether she should ask for help or not, she raised her hand. The teacher was standing near a group of girls fawning over him, but his face lit up when he seen Juvia. A few of them scoffed, but went back to their own work.

"What is it?"

"Juvia doesn't understand."

"What don't you understand?"

"Well...everything."

He blinked a few times, then crouched down.

"Why don't you just hold off on this, and then after school I can help you?"

She stopped breathing for a second. What will Lyon do? Will he get mad? Will he hit Juvia? No, it will be okay...right?

"Okay."

"Good."

He stood up, placed a hand on Juvia's desk, and faced the class.

"Finish up the problem you're on. We're starting the video."

Everyone's attention was focused her way, making her look down at her lap. Once she was sure he was gone, she looked back up. The lights just got turned off, and the screen was being turned on. After pulling a piece of paper out, she held her pencil in her hand.

"Class dismissed!"

Everyone piled out of the room while Juvia slowly made her way up to the desk.
