Mission Impossible: Seducing The Badboy

→chapter three

Lunch time. And I am all alone.

I sigh. Second day of school. Lu-chan and the others need to do something the teacher asked them to. So I can't be with them during our lunch break. And now, here I am, sitting all alone under a tree at the backside of our school building. I don't want to eat alone in the cafeteria, it will be awkward for me and will make me feel more lonely, so I decided to just eat here. Well, I'm still lonely but at least this is much comfortable and the silence is very relaxing.

I started to eat my packed lunch that I prepared earlier when an apple hit my head and landed on me.

"And I thought this is just a regular no-fruit bearing tree.", I mumbled to myself as I look up to what I suppose was an apple tree only to see a dark figure looming in the branch of a tree.

Chill runs down on my spine as I found myself staring directly at red orbs at the tree. I want to run out of here but found myself not able to even move an inch. It felt like whoever is up there made me stuck in my place.

The figure moves and I think stands up and suddenly jumps down.

I found myself looking at the tall man before me. His red eyes staring right at me, like he's studying me. He has a long black hair, and has six piercings above his eyes replacing his eyebrows, two in each side of his nose and another two in his chin. He also has five piercings in each of his ear, and a bad boy aura is all over him. I gulped as I continue to stare at the man before me.

"That is mine.", he stated. I blinked a few times not understanding what he just said. His? What's his?

"Tch. Stop gaping like a fish or a bug will surely enter your mouth.", he smirks.

I quickly close my mouth and blush formed on my face and I quickly stood up and dusted off my uniform.

"Uhm, sorry. What was yours ?"

"Wow, are you a middle-schooler ?"

"What ?! I'm a senior student here !", I said as I glare at him.

He just snorted.

"Really ? You must be really smart to accelerate at your study and enter high school at such a young age."

"Hey! I'm already 17 years old !"

"Wow, for real ? I thought you were just 12. You're really short.", he snorted again.

'Wow. Talk about being rude. Seriously?! The nerve of this guy !!'

"I'm not that small ! You are just a giant!", I said, anger beginning to rise inside of me.

"Well, for a short stack, everything you see must be gigantic to you."

"Wha--"

"Gajeel-kun !", I was cut off suddenly by a blunette who I recognized as Juvia, the girl Gray likes.

"What the hell is your problem?", he said to Juvia completely ignoring me.

"Juvia is looking all over for you. Stop skipping classes already. Come on now.", she said dragging him towards the building.

I was left alone standing there while staring at the spot they stood not long ago. I blink. Thinking if what just happened really happened, when suddenly the boy, who Juvia called as "Gajeel" came back running and smirks at me.

"I told you that, that is mine.", he said and grab the apple that I am holding and runs back to where I supposed was Juvia is before stopping and saying to me ..

"I thought I told you to stop gaping like a fish. Your a shrimp not a fish. I know you belong to the sea but there still a difference in your species.", then continue to walk back to the building.

I stood there dumbfounded, processing all just he said.

'Wait what ?!!!! Who the hell he think he is !!! He's the rudest guy I ever met. How could he ?!!!'

"I'm not a shrimp!", I shout at his direction even though I know he didn't heard me.

Class bell rings after that and I'm not even finish eating my lunch. Thanks to that rude guy.

I pack my lunch box and heads to my next class. History.

I glanced at the room searching if Lu-chan is already here. Sadly, no. Not even Gray, or Erza. I sigh. I went to the chair at the back of the classroom and fix my things.

The doors open and my jaw dropped. It's him ! It's the rude guy earlier. I met his gaze and he smirks. He walks toward me and sit at the vacant chair beside me.

"Is gaping your favorite hobby?", he asks and snorted.

'I can't believe this guy ! I just know him for at least thirty minutes but I already want to punch him and erase that cocky grin on his face.'

Arrgh. Chill. Relax Levy. Inhale. Exhale. Inh-

"What kind of shrimp are you? How can you walk and breathe at the dry land ?", he asks as confusion and amusement written all over his face.

"I. Am. Not. A. Shrimp!", I whispered-yelled at him.

Seriously?!!! He's making my patience go thinner.

He just snorted. He'll say something but he dismissed it as the teacher came to the room.

"Tch. Stupid onlookers.", I heard him muttered.

I glare at him first then fix myself and stare at the teacher and I found some of my classmates are looking at me with worried expression. I just dismissed there looks and continue to look at the teacher while he's fixing all the papers in his desk.

"Sorry for being late class.", he said and the class begins. I see the rude guy, or Gajeel as I remember, stands his book and began sleeping.

'Wow. Just wow. A very rough attitude. And a slacker at class. And hate his surroundings. Did I just meet a "bad boy" as my books define them? Great. How school life can be more beautiful?', I thought sarcastically.

"Mr. Gajeel Redfox !! This is not a bedroom !", the teacher shouts and he sit up quickly.

"Tch."

The class continue after that. I glance slowly at Gajeel. He's now drawing something on his notebook. I stare at his notebook, hoping to take a look at what he is drawing. I frowned at what I saw. It's our history teacher with horns and tails and a sharp teeth. I think he caught me staring because he covers his drawing.

I look again to our teacher who is discussing about the wars that happened in the world. A folded paper was placed on my desk by the guy besides me. I glance at him but found that he is staring at the teacher, acting like he's listening.

I unfolded the paper and read the note.

-Hey shrimp.

I frowned again. I hate the guts of this guy ! I even don't know him for a day but he already mess my day like hell.

I crumpled the paper and shove it in my bag.

He place another paper on my desk. I glance at him again and he is still looking at the teacher. I read the note.

-Reply. Don't toss it away.

I sigh. Really ? What is his problem ?

I write my reply but the paper was lifted and I saw my teacher glaring at me. He reads the note and frowns.

"Mr. Redfox, and you too Ms. Mcgarden. I want to see you after class.", he said sternly.

No. No no no no. I'm in trouble !! Thanks Gajeel. Now I really just want to shove you down in hell !!!

I just nodded at our teacher and he went back to the front and resume the class. I look again at Gajeel and he is just smirking at me. Aaarggh !!! What did I do to deserve this ? Did I do something terrible in my past life or something ?!

I am so in trouble.
