Last School Year [ ZerVis ]

Chapter Five

We talked for so long. I hadn't had a real conversation in such a long time. We were walking home now. They road was covered in ice. "So anyway I told her not to but she did it anyway" I told him and he burst into laughter.

"Say Mavis" He began, I turned to him and he continued "Do you remember saying that you would tell me that you loved me when you were younger?"

"Not really" I lied. Of course I could remember. The young me had a crush on him but I grew up fast which got me over things like crushes...

"Well that's upsetting" He sighed putting his hands in his pockets.

I heard a bell ring and looked over to the other side of the street. It was a cat in the middle of the road licking its paws.

"Come here kitty" I tried to get its attention to bring it to safety.

"Mavis careful the pavements are icy as well" As soon as he said that my balance clicked and i began to fall. I quickly tried to grab his arm to save myself. However I accidentally pulled him down as well scaring the cat away. He landed on top of me. My back hurt like hell. I opened my eyes and he had stopped himself with his hands. He was above me. Our noses were only inches a part. It made me blush.

"Uh-I" I hesitated not moving. He stared into my emerald eyes and I stared right back into his. They were darker than I remembered. I could feel the gap between us begin to close. I closed my eyes. I could feel his breath on my face. It then hit me. Our lips made contact. We were kissing. It felt so- hold on. I snapped out of it and slapped him

"Ouch!" He got off of me sitting back. "What was that for?"

"Oh I don't know? Maybe kissing me?" I said stating the obvious, still blushing.

"You kissed me back"

"No I didn't"

"Yes you did!" He argued back. I noticed his cheeks were pink.

"H-How can I k-kiss someone when I d-don't even know how to k-kiss" I went redder.

"Well I have kissed someone before and it was like that" Someone else? Who? The same?

"You're a idiot" I stood up scowling. "See you" I snapped storming off.

"Mavis wait!" I heard him call on me. I ignored him. The kiss was amazing but I can't afford to show a weakness, I can't.

"Bye gran" I closed the door behind me. It was the next day after that incident. I turned to find Zeref waiting on me again.

"Mavis I'm sorry" He apologized as soon as I saw him

"For?"

"For kissing you" He was being serious. I awkwardly hugged him. I let go and said to him, blushing

"It's fine" He laughed at me and we walked to school, trying not to slip again. I hoped no-one saw us.

Even before we stepped into the gates of hell I felt like something was wrong. We were getting even more stares than normal. They felt different from the ones from before. "You kissed!" as soon as we stepped into the grounds of hell the girls gathered around us. They were all shouting at me. I had enouch so I though 'screw it'

"Actually he kissed me so please continue to shout but at him" I needed to go to the library anyways, I'm behind on studies due to yesterday.

"Not true you kissed me back" The girls gasped

"We have been through this I didn't"

"You did~" He teased. I rolled my eyes and headed into school. I couldn't give a flying- Who saw us anyways?

I walked into the library to find the group of girls who were fawning over Zeref when he 'worked' here. "Mavis Vermilion" one of them said, she had a metal ruler in her hand. The librarian was know where to be seen. No-one was there only me and them. "You broke our friends heart!" she continued

"Stealing Zeref like that"

"I didn't. It-it's not like I like him that way anyway" I tried to hide my blush, WHY WAS I BLUSHING?! "You can have him" I suddenly was pushed to the floor. I turned to find more girls who had came in after me

"You will pay" The girl with the ruler smacked me across the face. I screamed with pain. They formed a circle around me and began kicking me, punching me, they were beating me up. After five minutes of pain they stopped. The one with a ruler stepped forward again and turned my head so I was facing the floor. She then hit my neck with the ruler. I felt The cold hard thing scar my skin. I could feel all of my bruises, blood and scars. I just wanted to give up I wanted to-

"STOP!" He stormed in shoving the girls past. I fell to the floor so I was lying on it. Outside was a crowd of people. I couldn't move.

"Ze-Zeref" The girls were shocked.

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING?!" He screamed looking for a answer.

"Sh-She sto-stole you" Someone spoke up. Zeref turned to the pissed.

"She didn't steal me! I loved her since we were kids! I kissed her alright! You like someone you kiss them! Even if they don't like you back" The girls were scared. Zeref continued by demanding "LEAVE!" The girls ran out as fast as they could, all terrified.

Zeref turned back to me coming to my side. He touched my cheek looking like he was about to cry. "Mavis? please be okay" I smiled at him managing to say

"Hey" my vision focused. He helped me sit up.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm perfectly fine" I lied. He confessed to me. I wanted to erase it but something inside me felt warm, it was a nice feeling. I shook my head and said "Lets get to work" He looked unhappy and changed my answer by saying

"Lets go to the nurses office" He took my hand even though we were still on the floor.

"I'm fine" I lied again.

"You can't stand up" He told me. I stared at him, smirking. Pushing on his shoulder I managed to stumble to my feet.

"I can" I hobbled over to the desk and sat down. He followed me and sat next to me, watching me. I needed to power through. I had never missed a class or had a day off and I wasn't about to start. I honestly wanted the day to end.
