Detention

{01}

Lucy's POV:
"Lu-Chan! Wait up!" I heard my petite blue friend call from behind.

Levy Mcgarden. Now, we knew each other ever since we were in diapers basically. She's the closest person I have to a sister, and honestly, I wish she was my sister! Levy and I are incredibly close with each other, we stick to each other like magnets. She's the one who knows my secrets, the one who knows how I really feel. Basically another me.

I stopped in my tracks to wait for her.

When she finally got here she was panting heavily.

"Why did you run? We have enough time." I giggled.

"Well, I need to get there early because of Gajeel." She said still panting heavily.

I smirked.

"Oh~ What's with you and Gajeel, Levy Chan?" I nudged her.

She blushed a light shade of pink. "I-It's not like that! He said he wanted me to d-do a favor so I a-accepted! Haha!" She said nervously.

"Mhm. Keep telling yourself that." I replied.

She playfully punched my arm. As we walked she kept reassuring me that it wasn't anything romantic of any sort. But I just kept denying her. 

Hehe I love teasing her.

"So Lu-Chan have you heard the rumors?"

She never talks about rumors unless it involves one of us.

I looked at her confused.

"What rumors?"

"You know Natsu-"

She got cut off by someone grabbing her shoulder. Turns out it's Gajeel.

"Hey pip squeak I thought you said you'd meet up with me. I didn't want blondie here with us." Gajeel said in a rough tone.

This guy..

Gajeel Redfox. He's friends with my rival but he's someone I can tolerate, most of the time. I don't know much about him. But he's really close with Levy which, I support. He sometimes helped me with small things and I did small favors for him in return. But again, I support him and Levy.

"Hello to you too Gajeel." I replied clearly annoyed.

"And Levy, you can tell me later. I'm going to homeroom okay?" I said to her in a cheery tone.

She nodded in reply.

"Alright! Have fun you too!" I said teasingly.

"Lu Chan! It's not like that!" Levy insisted.

  I just ran away so I won't have to deal with the consequences now. As I continued to walk, I had some people say Hi to me here and there. I wouldn't consider myself popular just, social.

  "Hey Lucy!" I heard a male's voice from behind.

  I turned around to see Gray and Julia walking together.

  "Good morning Gray, Juvia!" I said again in a cheery tone.

"Mornin'." The raven haired boy replied casually.

Gray Fullbuster. He's friends with my rival but he's definitely someone I can tolerate. He's been my friends since primary school. Now, he's more of a brother to me. He's always been there for me when I needed him, and he just supported me a lot in general.

  "Good morning Lucy." Juvia replied cheery as can be.

Juvia Lockser. She's one of my closest friends but we weren't always like that. She used to consider me her 'love rival' when she first met me because I was so close with Gray. We both continued to reassure her that neither of us had feelings for each other. And eventually she believed us. She's been my friend since middle school. She's my best friend that I never want to lose. She's helped me heal through touch times and I can't thank her enough for that.
