Ch. 23

I seriously suck at updating, I'm sorry guys! I've been so stressed recently with my sweet 15 and school, it's crazy. And Aileen keeps getting sick so yeah, we're a mess right now.

But I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Stupid Gajeel.

Stupid Sue.

Stupid mask.

Stupid feelings.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

With a groan, I put the book in my hand back into the bookshelf.

Yes. I ended up going to Barnes & Noble. I couldn't help myself. The new Harry Potter book poster had caught my attention. Unfortunately for me, just like everything else, the book was sold out.

I head out of the store but I exited from the wrong exit. Now I'm outside.

Great. Great. Great.

A gust of wind passes by, causing me to shiver. It's getting pretty cold these last few days. I'm the idiot wearing a sleeveless top and sandals, freezing my ass off.

Once again...

Great.

I sat down on a nearby bench with a sigh and close my eyes.

Why do I like Gajeel? He does tease me a lot, calling me names and always jokes around about my height...

But something about him just... intrigues me. I know almost everything about him but I want to know more. I honestly want to stick by his side, whether we're friends or lovers... Who am I kidding? Gajeel doesn't like me, it's just one sided.

Wait... Does he like me?

No. He doesn't. He hasn't shown any sign that he does and we've barely had any moments.

What am I doing? Why am I thinking like this?

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, letting my thoughts wander.

"Ah look who it is. So you're one of those stupid Fairies now, huh?" A tall, scary looking stranger asked. He was standing behind me, and was glaring at Jet and Droy.

"Yeah, so what?" Jet barks back.

"I actually hate Faries." His voice getting closer and closer to my ear. "You're a Fairy too, right...Shrimp?" He stands up straight and shrugs. "I guess I hate you too." I look at him from the corner of my eye and see whoever this guy is, staring at Jet.

Who is this guy? What does he want from us? Why is does he hate us if we don't even know each other?

"And because I hate Fairies, I just have this strooooong urge to hurt you guys. But who shall I fight first?" He took his time examining the three of us. His red eyes locking with Jet's, then Droy's, then mine.

I was shaking in fear. Jet and Droy just wanted to walk me home after our long day of celebrating this special occasion.

This guy probably sensed my fear because he turned his head towards me, locking eyes. Hazel to red. I could only see his eyes, the darkness making it difficult so see his face.

"Aw Shrimp, don't be scared. I won't hurt you... that much," he whispered, smirking and running a finger down my cheek.

"W-why- wh-who are you?"
