Chapter 2

Memories

Juvia walked to her chemistry class as the bell rang. She immediately bumped into a pink and black haired girl. They were recognized as Meredy and Ultear Milkovich. "Sorry." Juvia simply apologized.
Meredy bowed her head, "It's ok, people bump into others at times." Ultear nodded and they both walked to their classes. Juvia continued walking, she first checked if anyone was looking, then took a pair of scissors from her locker. She pulled up her sleeves, and made two slices on her left arm. Juvia wiped the blades with a tissue and then put it back into her locker. She checked if anyone was watching again, and then took a wet wipe and cleansed her arm. It stings... She thought, but ignored the pain. She did this so much it didn't even bother her anymore.

Juvia walked into the classroom and sat near the window of the class. Gray immediately sat by her, like this morning. "I guess you have Advanced Chemistry with me too." Juvia said, trying to maintain her pride.
He leaned up to her ear, "I saw that." He whispered and back away.
Juvia's eyes widen a bit, she bit her lip. "See... What?"
Gray smirked, "Scissors." He plainly answered.
Juvia knew what he meant, Dammit! I was way too careless! Juvia turned to him, "Let's play a game and forget everything that happened from now on!"
Juvia smiled, but Gray shook his head, "Sorry. I never forget anything."
Juvia felt her heart plummet, this wasn't exactly what she had planned. They spent the rest of the period silently working on the worksheet that was given. Juvia didn't want to speak to him, after finding out her secret, she decided to be more careful than ever.

After school, Juvia walked her way home. She found Gray walking with her. "What are you doing here?"
Gray smiled, "I guess... I feel kinda sorry for you because you look very lonely right now."
Juvia turned to him with a frown, she didn't like his new attitude change. "I've always been lonely."
Gray stretched his hands to his head, "Then I guess that made you suicidal didn't it?"
Juvia turned away from him, "What do you know? You're just a new transfer student."
Gray patted Juvia's head, "But, we met before don't you think?"
Juvia's heart started to beat a little bit faster, We've... met? She turned to him confused. "I don't think I've ever met you."
Gray smiled again and removed his hand from her blue hair, "You'll remember soon, just wait."
Juvia tilted her head, Gray Fullbuster, who are you really?

Juvia unlocked her empty house and walked upstairs. She changed into an oversized t-shirt and gym shorts. She plopped on her bed and hugged her snowflake pillow. "Gray..." She started to say out loud. She blinked for a few seconds. "Jeez!" She yelled, frustrated, and jolted up from her bed. She walked downstairs and opened the fridge for some ice cream. She ate on her counter, trying to jog her memory to way back when. "Gray..." She kept saying in her mind, and before she knew it, her face was blushing.

That night, Juvia was in her room hugging the same snowflake pillow. She just tried to remember over and over who Gray was and now is. She threw a small pillow at her door. "Who cares about him!" She said, flustered. She covered herself with covers and turned off her light. She fell asleep after that.
