Snowflakes in Summer (Jerza, Nalu, Gale, and Gruvia)

Chapter Seven

Gray P.O.V.

"Ugh that brat Natsu, always insulting me and disrespecting others, seriously so immature," I muttered to myself as I gazed into the watery depths of the pool. I was supposed to be in class, but today, I just didn't feel like it. I don't know, there was just this weird feeling inside of me that made me loathe going to school today.

I stood up from my sitting position and stretched until I could hear some bones pop. I might as well go to class and get over it.

When exiting the indoor pool, I had this gut instinct that someone was watching me. I whipped my head back to see no one there. I quickly scanned the area with my eyes, but there was nothing.

I inhaled sharply. Thinking it was some weird ear malfunction, I turned back around to walk out.

And that girl. That creepy girl that followed me around everywhere. She was right there. Right there. Right in front of me, staring into my eyes.

"W-what?!" I stumbled backwards, blushing profusely from all the close contact. She was looking at me with a blank expression, but she had an aura that could kill. "And I'm guessing you're Juvia?"

"Gray-sama knows my name!" the blue-haired girl swooned. Oh. She was one of those girls.

"What do you want?" I sighed. Nothing ticks me off more than girls who swoon over a guy, but they don't make a move. They just seem like helpless little girls to me.

She must've noticed the annoyance in my voice because she asked, "Oh is Gray-sama okay? Does he need help? Is he sick?"

"I'm fine," I insisted. Another thing that peeves me off are desperate girls, and this girl was reeking of desperation. "I just need to get to class."

"Juvia can guide you!" she chimed in happily. It seemed less like she was going to take me to class but take me to her dorm and tie me up there.

"I can go by myself thank you very much," I rolled my eyes. This girl is starting to really get on my nerves and I've only been talking to her for about a minute.

Pushing past her, I grabbed my bag, which was sitting on the pool benches, and stormed out, feeling more grumpy then when I got here.

Juvia P.O.V.

I helplessly looked back at him as he slammed the pool doors shut. Did I do anything wrong? Feeling dejected, I slumped down on the seat where his bag used to be.

As I was wallowing in my own self pity, I came to notice a slip of paper on the ground. It was a picture.

After flipping the paper to actually reveal the photo, I was struck with curiosity. It was a picture showing young Gray, a silver-haired boy next to him (probably the same age), and a woman standing between them. Holding both of their hands. She had chin-length dark purple hair and the prettiest of black eyes.

I looked at the small piece of paper with confusion. Who was these two people with Gray-sama?

As I looked closer, I saw some lettering in pencil on the picture. There were some numbers...they were dates?

It definitely looked at the date. Maybe it's for her birthday...or maybe the silver-haired boy's birthday? They looked like close acquaintances...

Suddenly I was hit with a brilliant idea. Maybe it is the birthday of one of them! I decided that it would be smart to throw a birthday party I that specific date and, it's tomorrow! I excitedly stuffed the picture into my backpack, remembering to have the date burned into my mind.

"I can't wait to surprise Gray-sama!" I squealed. Walking out the doors, I daydreamed of the day I surprised him, and how he would love me forever!

{Thank you guys for the never-ending positive feedback and the corrections! I appreciate that you take the time or read my stories and give me helpful tips. Gomen if this story is a little too short (along with NaLu), but bear with me until the next Gruvia chapter where Juvia will probably get into deep shit. Jerza is next!}
