Lucy inhaled and exhaled, closing her eyes as she did so. She let her hair get flown away by the wind and leaned on the railing, staring off into the clouds. Time sure flies by fast. I just enrolled here and before I knew it, 5 months have already passed, she thought and closed her eyes.

"What are you doing here again?"Lucy sighed; her moment of peace was destroyed so quickly.The blonde looked over her shoulder to find Jellal by the door of the rooftop, leaning against the doorframe. He stared at her with a long hard stare and she returned the favor. However, a smirk spread across the blonde's face, "Oh you know, skipping classes."Jellal stared at her harder and the blonde sighed.

"Don't worry; I'm not going to skip after this. It's the last time," she murmured and his eyes widened.The last one?"Why?" Jellal had to ask.

Well, Lucy's a delinquent who is fond of skipping but then suddenly starts to quit. What's that?"I'm leaving tomorrow. My aunt enrolled me at Fiore Academy," she bluntly said and shrugged. "Doesn't matter anyway, no matter what school it is, I'll keep skipping."She looked down with her lips in a straight line, "But aren't you lucky? The most troublesome girl in the school is going to leave. Someone must have prayed to God for this to happen."

Jellal's eyes widened and he felt something tug at his heart. For some reason – no matter how crazy it was – he didn't want her to go.

"W-What? W-Why are you transferring schools again?" he asked, panic building up inside him. He somehow wanted her to stay. She was the only thing that kept his mornings annoying but somewhat fun and thrilling.

Lucy blinked slowly and looked down once again."It's none of your concern."Jellal shifted the plastic of groceries over his shoulders and stuffed his other hand in the pocket of his pants, deep in thought. He had never thought that he didn't like the fact of Lucy leaving – he used to wish that she would transfer already.

But now that she was going to transfer, he suddenly felt like taking it back.He did like spending time with her – even though she always complained when he would be with her to interrupt her "moment of peace". Lucy always stayed quiet when she was deep in thought, and somehow, he had a feeling that something was going to happen.

As if she knew he was thinking of her, a yellow blob of hair flashed his sight and his eyes widened.He slowly looked towards the dark alley and then saw Lucy slowly slipping in, wearing a white t-shirt with the word "DAMN YOU" written on the front, a black jacket, denim shorts and black high heels.

Jellal swallowed and shifted the plastic of groceries again. Should he follow her? He wanted to but… he didn't know.Making up his decision, he walked towards the dark alley and saw Lucy turn left.He tailed after her, going through a bunch of doors and secret places.

But when Lucy stopped walking in the middle of the clearing, she sighed."Jellal, stop tailing me," she mumbled and looked over her shoulder.Jellal winced and was about to say something when a girl suddenly landed in front of Lucy, a smirk on her face.

She wore a white tube with short denim shorts and black ankle boots with heels."Well, well, if it isn't Angel," Lucy mumbled and looked up in distress – she was planning on going home to take a rest. But it seemed like trouble always found her.

"Don't 'Angel' me Heartfilia. We're not close so don't call me that," the white haired lady said and her smirk widened. "Well, who's that hot guy behind you? You're boyfriend? I can't believe you got one, I thought you wanted to stay single?" she said and narrowed her eyes, her smile widening.

Jellal blushed slightly and Lucy rolled her eyes. "He's not my boyfriend Angel. He's just... a classmate at school," she muttered, dragging a hand down her face.

"I knew it! Heartfilia could never get a boyfriend!"

Lucy placed a hand on her hip and massaged her temples with her other hand, Great, more trouble.Jellal looked up and found a black-haired girl standing on top of the roof. She smiled evilly at Lucy and she sighed.

"Lucy? What's going on?" Jellal mumbled off and the black haired girl jumped down. She walked towards him and smiled innocently.

"Well look who we have here, Heartfilia's classmate?" the black haired girl said, taking out a knife from her belt and holding it over Jellal's neck. "Let's see how tough you are…"

"Get away from him!" Lucy yelled and kicked the brunette. Jellal ducked as Lucy's leg swung above him to hit the brunette who jumped out of the way. Lucy scowled and reached out behind her hair and took out two guns. She flipped it in the air and she held the two guns.

"Hurt him or I'll fire," she hissed dangerously, pointing each gun at the two women, both glaring hard at her.Jellal blinked at the guns and was about to yell when Lucy pulled the trigger."LEAVE!" she yelled in anger, staring at the two coldly.Angel cursed and jumped,

"I'll see you next time, blondie. Let's go Minerva."

"Tsk," Minerva said and left right after Angel, massaging the back of her neck in pain. "See ya, Heartfilia," she said and saluted her evilly before jumping down the roof on the other side.Silence enveloped the two and Lucy started breathing heavily.

She swung the guns around her fingers and latched them onto her belt, locking it tightly with a click. She stuffed her hands in the pockets of her shorts and looked up from her bangs, glaring hard at Jellal."Lucy I—"

"What the hell were you doing? Why were you trailing me?" Lucy yelled in anger, her fingers digging into the denim of her shorts.Jellal chewed on his bottom lip and sighed angrily,

"I didn't want you to transfer schools! I wasn't trailing after you from the very beginning okay? I just saw you walking in this dark alley and I just followed you from then!" He shifted the plastic of groceries over his shoulders, "I didn't mean to get you in trouble."Lucy inhaled sharply,

"No… it's fine. I'm used to it."

Jellal blinked and raised a brow in confusion. "What do you mean you're used to it?" he asked and Lucy stretched her arms over her head."I get into fights every day. I'm threatened every day. This day is no normal than my other days," she mumbled and shrugged. "This was the main reason why I needed to transfer again. If I don't transfer, the other gangs will come and get you to threaten me."The bluenette walked forward and tried to get a glimpse of her face.

And when he did, he felt like his problems were just so small compared to hers.Her eyes threatened to cry, yet she didn't. Her lips quivered, but she stopped them by biting her bottom lip. Her eyebrows narrowed in anger and pain but she just had to stop it.

All in all, her face looked pained.Jellal ruffled her hair and smiled gently at her. "Stay Lucy," he said and crouched a little to see her face much better.Lucy looked up and pushed his hand away.

"I can't prez. Who knows what would happen to you and your friends. I've lost a few of my members and it's not easy," she said and tied her hair up.Jellal stifled a laugh, "Really Lucy? Are you really just going to run away from us after you came in our lives? Come on, the Luce that I know isn't like that. She'd be smirking at me and glaring at me, not like that." He tilted her chin up and grinned, "The Lucy that I know would stay."

The blonde looked at him with tired eyes and sighed, "Fine, but I ask only one thing."Jellal raised a brow,

"What is it?"

Lucy held out her hand and smirked tiredly at Jellal.

"Keep this a secret will ya? This is a secret that I can't tell, especially to your friends. Who knows what they would say if they found out about this," she said.The bluenette shook his head while smiling and clasped his hand around the blonde's. They shook hands and he nodded."Will do, but do something about your transfer at Fiore Academy will you?" he asked and Lucy rolled her eyes.

"Yea, yea, stupid prez always ordering me around."
