Circle of Truth (18+)

Chapter Four

Since the group revelations, it had been a week and it was now Friday. The popular group had returned to their norm, and the students of high intelligence that wreaked havoc upon their school with their delinquent acts had also separated from them. Everything was seemingly back to how it was before, the odd glance was stolen by certain people but no one talked since. They didn't know what to say, they didn't know how to maintain friendship with people so different. It might've been coincidence or a simple straw of fate that they were all in the same classes this semester. It just so happened that their teacher, Mr Warrod who oddly looked like a tree was absent, making this a study period. "Gajeel, you free this weekend?" And so the silence was broken by the blonde haired man known as Laxus. Gajeel would nod, his raspy voice saying "yeah, what for?" As the question was asked. Laxus turned his attention to Juvia and Jellal who sat next to his desk. "I'm thinking of going to get a drink this weekend, maybe to a bar or something. You all wanna join?" His deep voice would ask Gajeel, Jellal and Juvia. His question was met with agreements from the two blue haired people. "Yeah, we can go. Meet at 7?" Juvia said, to which everyone agreed and returned to their studies. Everyone was an exaggeration, Juvia and Jellal did their studies while Gajeel decided he would sleep through this period.

~19:00pm, Friday~

As 7pm rolled around, the group of four had decided to meet outside of Juvia's house before making their way to a bar down town Magnolia via Laxus' car. Knocking down on the woman's door, Laxus, dressed in a red shirt with his chest exposed with black pants and a black fur coat over his shoulders, would be the one to knock whilst Jellal and Gajeel waited at the gate. Jellal dressed similarly to Laxus in a blue shirt and black trousers, however with no jacket to showcase his expensive Rolex watch. Gajeel matched the trio in a black shirt and pants with a leather jacket over him. Definitely dressed to impress.
Opening her door, Juvia would step out and close her door behind her. The blue haired beauty caught the attention of all three men, dressed in a blue slip dress that ended at her thighs, showcasing her fantastic legs and hugging her curvaceous hips to amplify her tiny waist. The sweetheart neckline on the dress would hung on her voluptuous breasts, the silk material left little to the imagination of her bra-less chest. She wore a gold necklace in the shape of a tear drop, with matching gold earrings. Her curly blue hair was left to flow down her back graciously and her feet were dressed in black, stiletto heels. In her hands, Juvia held a blue purse which she hung on her shoulder. "We ready to go?" She would ask, tucking a strand of hair behind her ears to reveal the nape of her neck and the golden hoop earrings on her. Jellal would clear his throat, "Yeah, let's get going." He told everyone. Making their way in the car, Laxus sat in the drivers seat with Juvia next to him and the two men in the back. It was about a 10 minute drive to the bar and when arrived, they all walked inside to be escorted to a vip section. 'Helps having rich friends' Gajeel's mind would ring as he took a seat on a black leather couch that would circle around a table.

It was just too bad that in a small classroom, nothing could go unheard. Lucy made sure of that. Entering into the same room of the vip, she caught the attention of the four already sat. Dressed in a pink mini skirt and pink crop top with excessive jewellery, Lucy was the first to walk in. She smiled as she was followed by the group that was in detention, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Levy, Mirajane and Lisanna. "What're you doing here?" Juvia stood up and asked, she wasn't being threatening but her voice was one of genuine confusion. "We got bored, thought we'd get the band back together." Natsu would smirk, dressed in a salmon coloured shirt with black trousers and ... a black and white scarf around his neck? Maybe he was cold. Next to him was Gray, who was dressed similarly but in a blue shirt that was only buttoned at the bottom, exposing his toned chest and cross necklace. On his fingers were silver rings that matched the bracelet on his wrist.

Taking a seat next to Gajeel, was Levy. The petite woman wore a pair of brown shorts that would push against her plump thighs and a orange coloured halter top, she wore orange shades that rested in her blue hair. "This is weird as hell, I didn't invite you." Laxus would say, standing up as the rest nodded. "Relax Laxus, it's not like we're here to fight." Mirajane would say, striking a smile at him, the beauty was dressed in a red dress that ended at her knees with a heart cut out at her chest. Her sister Lisanna would wear the same version of this dress in blue. "So? You don't think this is fucking strange? We're not friends." Jellal would say, his raspy voice would raise a response from the scarlet haired woman. "Does that mean we can't be?" She said, pushing her hair past her shoulder to expose her sparkly black dress that would have a criss cross halter neck and an exposed back. She took a seat next to Jellal, Levy and Gajeel. Lucy and Mirajane sat on either end of Laxus, Natsu sat next to Lucy and then was Lisanna, Juvia and Gray. Juvia would sigh, finding it pointless to argue as she used the automatic tablet in their room to order rounds of shots, vodka, tequila, wine, whiskey and a few beers. "Isn't that too much?" Gray would ask feeling a little concerned at the quantity when all the drinks were brought in. Gajeel would laugh, "this is a lot? We're just getting started kid." Juvia smirked in return, nudging Gray next to her to take a shot with her "Don't be prude, give it a try" Juvia pushed as they drank. Levy watched as they drank and decided to do the same, choking lightly at the burning sensation. "You're pretty cute, Levy" Jellal laughed, causing a sheepish blush from the girl.
