let's play

this little son of a bitch. 
three years. 
three years that i put all my effort into a relationship that in the end will just be a pile of horse shit. 

i looked back, around the corner one last time to see the player and his little girl toy going in the opposite direction to lunch. turning back around stalking towards a different path to the cafeteria, i started to think. 

bingo. 

" wanna play this game, dragneel? oh, i'll play it alright. but lets just see how long you'll stand before i crush you're puny little castle and with you and your little princess in it. " 

―

i walked into the cafeteria to see natsu and his plaything already seated. 

lisanna strauss. that's her name. 

they've known each other since 7th grade. but i've known him since i was born. i sat down between pinky and my overprotective 'big brother', gray. he's not my brother by blood, he just acts like one. i got out my sub and pink lemonade and acted like nothing happened. at the corner of my eye i could see the short haired girl eyeing me and smirking. 

oh, don't get too full of yourself, girl. you have no idea what i'm capable of.  

i leaned more towards gray and mumbled, " i need to talk to you. like now. " 

i was already halfway done with my sub. " what? what's wrong? did something happen? did someone piss you off? because i swear― " i cut him off. " more like someone is stabbing me behind the back and cheating on me, acting like i don't know. " i looked up at him with the kind of fire that will make you die the instant you even get close to it. my face was straight and it looked like i could snap your neck with a twitch to the right of my head. his eyes widened. he glanced over to natsu who was having such a nice chat with lisanna. 

" natsu? seriously? are you sure? because he wouldn't hurt you. ever. " " yea, well you're wrong. i saw them eating each other's faces off right after the bell rang for lunch, " i said, while opening up a plastic container full with a variety of fruits and berries. his brows furrowed. " and the thing is... he looked like he actually liked it. like he wasn't even forced by lisanna. like he did it all on his own. " 

" well, what are you gonna do about it? " he said finishing his lasagna. " i have a plan and it requires you in it. but its if you'll agree to it. " i said, with the look of determination. " what is it? " 

" be my fake boyfriend. " 

silence between me and him. "w-what? " " i'm like your little sister, yea? " he nods. " so you'll do anything for me. you love me so much that you'll hurt anyone who crosses me. " he hesitated for a slight second but gives into a nod anyway. " so do this for me. i want to show this boy who he's dealing with and who he shouldn't and will not break nor tear me apart. so will you work with me in this plan? " he closes his eyes and as he looks away he says the one word i hoped he'd say. 

" yes. " 

" good. " i say, with a smirk. the both of us got up throwing our wanted trash away. i grabbed my bag and was about to walk away when i heard, 

" hey, where're you two headed? " i looked at the salamander with the coldest of eyes. he flinched at me slightly and gave me the face of concern. tsk. fake little bitch. " none of your business.  " 

one step i took. 

" what's with the attitude all of a sudden? " the pink head said, slowly standing up. i turned back around. 

the rest of our friends: erza, mira, cana, levy, loke, laxus, jellal and gajeel, who're sitting at our table watching this scene play out like in the movies.  " and you care because... " i trailed. " i'm your boyfriend?! " he says. i shake my head. " yea. what a great boyfriend you are. " i tilted my head with a straight look on my face. " what's your problem? " great, little barbie doll is in this. how fun. i smiled a devilish one and arched a brow. 

" look her little wannabe. " " lucy. " mira scolded. who cares if shes's your little sister. people who cross me don't get to see the light of day. i put aside her scolding. " if you want to try me. go ahead. i'd like to see how far you'll go before you even get inside my head. and as for you. " i said and pointed to the fire breathe. i walked right up to him. " i know the game your playing. and this is a game that you shouldn't have started. i always win these, you see. and i get back at the people who've wronged me. " i said with my face dangerously close to his. 

" you made the first move, " i looked him dead in the eyes. 

" and now i'm firing back. "
