Werewolves//Book 1//

Chapter 12. Juvia Lockster

The form room was colder than it had ever been before. As soon as I walked in, I tugged on my jumper's sleeve to try and pull it down to my hand. I walked over to Levy and she seemed cold as well.

"The heaters are broken in here and the damn windows are stuck in place..." Levy said as she pointed to my right at the window. I silently laughed at how people came over to my side that was obviously warmer than theirs.

Gramps walked in.

That made everyone walk to their place.

"Okay! The head master nagged me all last night that your reading ages are way below than it should be! I want all of you to pass your GCSEs so I made a new seating plan and we have a new student," Gramps said as he used jazz hands to reveal a blue haired girl.

Before I could get a proper look at the new student, I was tugged everywhere to move. I had moved one chair for all that tugging and Levy was still next to me. Natsu was behind me, well, that means I get to talk to him more. Jellal had ended up on another table just next to ours with Gajeel and Gray. At least he has them.

Gramps was still trying to figure out where to put Erza and the new student. Erza was muttering about how embarrassed she was to be one of the last students befoer getting place in front of Levy. "This is Juvia Lockster, what school did you come from?"

The cold wind blew harsher through the window and I shifted unfortably in my seat. The new view of the class was wierder and the breeze was unsettling. I looked up at her and I could feel that I had saw her before. "It's the girl!" Natsu whispered behind me.

She was the girl from the festival a while ago. She still had her thick glasses and her face was really shy. Her scent was pretty wierd, something like chlorine and chemicals. She must like swimming if her scent mostly consisted of those.

"From Lamia Scale, you know, the...uh...all girls school?" She asked hopefully. Her voice seemed pretty mature for her age, she might even be 14 by now, but the stutter and inconfidence had threw me off.

"Yes, boys, don't go anywhere near her or you'll be answering to me." Erza said sternly. I while ago, somewhere when she began sitting with us at lunch, she had said she was originally going to Lamia scale. It was her top option on her sheet but she had been rejected and joined here. All her friends had went there and they barely keep in touch, probably a text a few times a month. She knew they would break it off with her pretty soon.

"And me!" Jellal chimed in sheepishly.

Jellal had got pretty far in the time he joined here. He might have had a reading age of a 4 year old because he can't read very much, but Erza having a reading age of 16, like me which is the minum age to do GCSEs, taught him how to read.

She quickly turned around and I could feel the smirk from Jellal forming. Both he and I knew that he had made her blush and it wasn't very much well hidden on her part.

"Juvia, you can sit next to Gajeel, put your hand up!" Gramps ordered. Gajeel lazily threw his hand in the air, barely grazing Gray in the face. Juvia walked over to one of her new seats in this year. Gray scowled and looked over from Gajeel, who was kind of in between the two, and saw Juvia sitting down.

Juvia kind of bit her lip hesitently before setting up her desk. Gray was looking at her helplessly. His harmful eyes calmed down at the bare sight of her. He struggled to look back down at his reading book and I mentally laughed at the sight.

Little Gray has a crush.

I looked back down at my reading book, thinking this situation over. Would Erza feel comfortable if I invite Juvia over to our table for Gray? Heck, would Gray feel comfortable? Would I feel comfortable that Natsu had such an intrest in her, well, everyone does, she's new.

"You're really good at math!" I exlaimed as I looked at her book. Red ticks were sprawled everywhere in her messy layout. Her handwriting was quite neat despite it. She grinned at me gawking at her book, even Levy was looking down at it.

"I'm quite good at everything, here," She said as she passed over her time table. She had all sets with us, meaning she'll barely see some of the others. "Would it be much troube if I sit with you during lunch? The others in my form aren't as friendly as you," She asked.

I took note of how her way of talking was pretty posh. Well, that was kind of what I was expecting. Don't be mad at me or anything but a stereotypical Lamia Scale student does sound pretty posh. But, that doesn't really mean anything. It doesn't mean she is.

"Sure, we would love that. I think you'll like Erza very much, she's new to friends and it would be great if you were in on it. And, is it because of Gray?" I asked her.

"Maybe~He doesn't seem half bad, who was the boy next to him? He had shaggy hair..." She tried to explain to me. Gajeel isn't very rememberable, is he?

Sense the sarcasm?

"Gajeel Redfox, he's like a bear." Levy said. 

Juvia laughed at Levy's choice of words and went back to reading her book. I blinked a few times at her. "What's your reading age?"

"17, my school likes to aim higher." She said. She seemed really embarrassed of talking about it.

"I have 16, we're just below you, you're not going to be a saint or anything here, I promise you that," I reasurred her. She smiled weakly at me before letting out a dry laugh.

"I hope so,"
