She laid 2 knocks on the door of her friend's home, retracting her hand back and waiting for an answer; and when the door swung open to reveal her black and white-haired friend, she smiled.

"H-Hey, sorry again for no notice, but... M-My dad kicked me out again..." Juvia spoke out, rubbing her hand up and down her arm embarrassingly as the friend from the Element Four stared at her.

Totomaru sighed and opened the door, speaking out with his raspy voice - the sound of just waking up showing in his voice. He smiled and offered a hand to her "come on in."

Juvia softly smiled back, putting her hand in his as he took her inside, Toto planning to go get a bed ready for his friend once done shutting the door.

Whenever Dave kicked Juvia out, Totomaru was always the one she ran to. Why? If she went to Gajeel he'd get angry at her father, if she went to Sol he'd worry too much, and if she went to Aria he would just cry, which would then make her do the same.

Toto had feelings for Juvia and cared for her DEEPLY enough to allow her inside - his Parents were always out so he saw the opportunity of allowing the heartbroken girl into his home for the well-deserved rest she needed.

He, like all of Juvia's friends, wanted Juvia to get out of her situation so badly - but seeing as Juvia stopped them at any point and avoided all helping hands, he didn't know anymore. He didn't know if she wanted help, he didn't know for sure if she needed help either. Juvia really was good at hiding any and all emotions at any point and time-

-and good at hiding secrets from her close friends.

Lucy groaned, holding her head in her hands. She, at the moment, was having a mental break down. Just before lunch started, she was told by her teacher in the previous class that there would be a test in the next few days and Lucy, being the upbeat good student she was, could honestly say she hadn't learned a single thing. She was always the type to know everything and anything about a topic, but what the test was on? It confused her and she didn't know why or how it did.

"I don't see the point, Luce..." Natsu trailed off, looking at the blonde with a raised brow and as if she were some disease "just study harder. "

Lucy lifted her head and glared at the salmon in color haired boy "because, Natsu, my stupid teacher doesn't know how to explain things!!!"

Gray just chuckled looking at the two talking - fighting, really - like a couple. He was left alone with them on his lonesome since Erza was in a student council meeting with the entirety of Magnolia and Fiore's council as well - which included Levy, on the Magnolia side, and then Meredy plus Jellal, Fiore's side. All three were in the meeting, so Gray was left alone to deal with the soon to be dating duo.

"What's so funny, huh?!" Lucy asked Gray, looking at Gray with a scrunched nose, "do you find me struggling with the test FUNNY?!"

Lucy angry was something no one wanted, and Gray feared he had just unleashed the monster from inside the blonde because she thought he was laughing at her struggle. He just shook his head, looking away from her "Nah, it's something else."
