Yea, We're Just Best Friends

18. Yea, We're Just Starting A New Year

For her the year before was chaotic and she'd do anything to turn back time and fix everything so it wouldn't have happened the way it did.

She wished she'd told him she loved him before he'd gotten a girlfriend, but that, that can't be fixed.

He didn't love her and she thought that she was okay with that.

She wasn't.

She was breaking down inside bits by bits and she wanted her heart to stop shattering every single time she saw him with her.

Every single time......

The sound of an alarm clock filled her cold and hollow room, as Juvia woke up and rubbed her eyes.

She looked around the room and sighed.

"Today is the day I start as a 3rd year", She spoke softly to herself.

All the memories from last year flooded her mind and all she wanted to do was cry her eyes out.

"Gray-sama", she whispered as if he was in the same room as her.

She covered her eyes and shook her head, "Why?, she doesn't even deserve you", she uncovered her eyes and looked at a picture by her bed side.

It was a picture of her and gray-sama when they were first years.

Oh how she wouldn't ever forget that day.

It was two weeks in after they met, and she remembered it best.

It was the day gray-sama had opened up to her fully, it was a Sunday and they had gone to a cafe to hang out for the day.

She remembered how he'd fiddled with his fingers under the desk, he thought she didn't notice but she did.

After that they had went to a park across the street from that cafe and he broke out to her.

It was the day they also had their first hug and the day she knew she was in love with him.

Juvia smiled to herself getting up from her bed and to her closet and taking out her uniform.

She smiled at it.

This year she thought for sure things were going to change for her.

Although in the back of her heart she didn't want to go to school, but she'd have to cause she felt a change.

Juvia ran a hand through her now even longer blue hair. She twirled it around her finger tips and sighed.

She still hated the way her hair looked she couldn't fix it. Instead she decided to just leave it down once again.

Looking up at the time on her alarm clock Juvia gasped and ran out her door.

"Father!", she made her way down stairs, "Ohayo!", she greeted and grabbed her bag.

"Juvia wait!", Her father stood up from his chair in the sitting room and put down his newspaper.

He lifted up a his index finger and pointed it at her.

"This year I don't want no bullshit, you work hard in school or you become a disgrace!", He barked at her.

Juvia shuddered at his words, but she guessed he was right.

She didn't want to become a disgrace to him and her mother.

She took a deep breath, "Yes father I understand", she bowed her head and ran out the door.

This year was going to be all new for Juvia she wasn't going to be riding her bike to the train station anymore instead she had decided on walking.
