In the cafeteria I was looking at the sandwiches. he had his eyes on the bread. "no ones here why not a curry bread?" he asked.
"Today's Tuesday. on Tuesday I have a ham salad sand which. today they haven't got any so I'm trying to chose something" I'm very picky but it's all for my future. I can be clumsy with food choices then. he heavily sighed and went over to the bread place. he picked up two breads and came over to me.
"Here" I stared at it.
"Why?"
"'Cause if you can't have your usual then don't" It smelt delicious so I agreed. we went over to the till and payed.

"No sand which today?" the dinner lady asked.
"No May none today" "sad" her first language isn't Japanese. "bye May" I stood and waited for Zeref when May smiled
"Marriage" I stepped in front and said
"No may not marriage."
"Yes good! celebrate! Marry marry marry! oh sorry" she realized she was wrong thank god "da-dating" she corrected herself "boy and girl friend! yes, very good, such love" Zeref laughed and gave her his money
"No May we aren't even friends, colleagues" zeref stared at me
"Meanie". i rolled my eyes and we left. I just want to go home.

In the library Zeref signed the sheet and was accepted. we sat behind the desk and he began to eat. I poked at mine. the bell finally rang, took long enough. he stared at me. I carefully unwrapped it and took a tiny bite. i only bit the bread which tasted alright. "eat it like this" he showed me. I turned around and he took a massive bite and said "see" he ate with his mouth wide open, I felt sick. I took a bigger bite than normal. the curry flavour burst into my mouth. it was delicious. I quickly took my note pad out of my bag and changed my lunch meals around. i then took out the menu.
"If I take out a cheese and ham sandwich I can have this every Thursday" I rubbed it out and put my note pad and the menu back in my bag.
"Okay?" he said confused. I turned to him and explained
"I am on a strict food routine where I only eat certain things a day. it's my balanced diet. like on Monday I will have a Italian chicken sandwich then Tuesday is usually ham salad, Wednesday is usually Chinese chicken sandwich, Thursday is now curry bread and Friday is soup. it's mixed but it works with what I have on the weekend." he continued to eat.

He took his phone out of his pocket and I slapped his hand "ouch" he said picking his phone up off of the floor.
"No phones in the library" he sighed an put it in his pocket. I quickly finished the bread and threw the rubbish away. "alright" I said opening my bag. Zeref opened a book which was sitting on the desk.

"What you going to do now?" he asked
"I'm glad you asked" I pulled my massive folder out with my heavy books. I piled them on the desk and he simply stared at them. "I'm going to study, since we finished everything at break" I took my pencil and began to study maths.
"This is what you do to pass time?" he asked
"Yes now shh"
"What do you do if your bored?"
"Study"
"For fun?"
"Study"
"Free time?"
"Study now shh!"

He read the book whilst I studied. a bunch of girls came in. "it's true he is working in here." one squealed.
"If he wore glasses oh my god how hot would he be" they all giggled and I gave a sharp shh. they gave me dirty looks and I simply rolled my eyes.
"Mavis..." he said coming close to me
"What now?" he was reading the hunger games
"I don't get it. does she like gale or peeta?"
"I'm not giving spoilers now shh!" one of the girls tutted at me and again I rolled my eyes.

One with long black hair came up to zeref and said "hey my names Enlo. I'm in your History class. I was wondering what you thought on what we are doing in that class" Zeref looked up and said
"How can I help you?" she blushed and continued
"In many ways you help me. even though I just saw you today, I feel as if I have known you forever, like your my oxygen I breathe."
"But I haven't known you forever. I have known Mavis forever. Mavis am I your oxygen?" he snuggled up to my arm and I pushed him off
"Of course not. it's impossible for a human to be another human. we can not become gases, we might make gases but we ourselves are not" I explained. the girl gave me another look and continued
"Any way, I was wondering if I could have your number?" he took the girls hand and wrote his number on her hand. "thanks" she said running off to her friends. they giggled and I gave yet another sharp shh. they all tutted at me and walked out. I whispered to zeref
"If you want to talk to you "friends" then don't be working in a library" I gave him a look of annoyance and went back to studying

"Maaaaaviiiis" he moaned "I'm bored, isn't there any jobs I can do?"
"Oh I don't know see if any one needs help, tidy books up, I don't know but don't disturb me. " I said to him. he got up and began to take the trolley around the tables picking up books. I hope he quits, seriously.

Finally after a long day of school ended, I changed my shoes and began to walk outside. "Mavis where are you going?" He asked as I turned to face him
"Home obviously"
"Where do you stay?"
"At my grans, why?"
"I live near that area!"
"You do?" I replied unconvinced. I rolled my eyes. "I prefer walking alone" He smirked at me and replied
"I will just follow you"
"That's called stalking" I corrected him whilst I barged past him.
"Oh well" I heard him as he began to follow me.

I was nearly home and he was still following me "Zeref, where do you live?" I asked starting a conversation. He caught up with me and pointed to the houses on the hills.
"Up there" I knew his parents were wealthy but I didn't know theyw ere able to afford those houses.
"Wow" I replied looking up at the beautiful houses.

We reached my grans house. I looked at it, then I looked at his. There was a big difference. "This is me" I sighed sadly. It's not that I don't love my grans house but lets be honest who wouldn't want a big house? "Bye" I said waving awkwardly. Suddenly he caught me by wrapping his arms around my neck.
"Bye" He whispered. It wasn't warm but he was. I blushed sightly then I shoved him off. "You're blushing" He teased. I went redder.
"N-No I-I'm not! It's the cold! Goodbye" I stormed off into the house slamming the front door.

"JESUS IS COMING FOR US!" I heard my gran shout with surprise.
"Sorry gran it's just me" I said back. The little frail old woman came into my sight and smiled at me. "Alright so today I can either make us a pizza or go out and get us some fish and chips" I suggested. She thought on it and replied
"I quite fancy some chips" I nodded and headed up stairs where I quickly got changed, came running down stairs, grabbed my coat and headed out into the streets where the temperature had dropped.

I was dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and a woolen jumper. It was beginning to snow. Luckily I made it to the shop in time though. "Hello" The man greeted me.
"Hi, can I get two fish and chips please" The man nodded and went to make the food.

"Oh, hi Mavis" I heard from behind me. I turned around to see my old friend Matt. He had went to a different high school from me. He had gone to this private school for boys. He was my only friend in middle school.
"Hi Matt, I haven't seen you in ages!" He had grown taller, I was the same height.
"I know, hows your gran?"
"She is great, hows school?"
"Great as well" We both laughed as another person covered in scarfs came in the door.

They wore a big coat and a hat. "Mavis!" They said hugging me. "Aww, your so warm" I pushed them off of me and stared at them
"And who are you?" I asked. They began to take their layers off to reveal himself. It was Zeref.
"I didn't know you came here" He hugged me again.
"W-Well y-yes" I said trying to breathe.

"Uhm...who is this" Asked Matt as Zeref let me go.
"Matt, this is Zeref, he is my childhood friend before I moved away and now his family lives here, Zeref, this is Matt, I was friends with him in middle school" I explained. Zeref looked at Matt and Matt looked at Zeref.
"Thats £8 please" I payed the money and took the food.
"I should go, nice you Matt" I gave him a awkward hug and turned to Zeref "Bye" I coldly said to him leaving the two alone.
"See you tomorrow!" Zeref cheerfully shouted at me. What a strange meeting
