Chapter 10

Lisanna's Pov 

Watching Juvia and Gray made me realize that we're more alike than anything. 

It must be difficult being in love with two people at the same time... I'm also in love with two people. 

I think more than anything I want to befriend Juvia, we're in similar situations. I feel it'd do us good to be friends and talk about it. 

We're very similar. 

However, I know I can't walk around freely... Gray knew I was there on the day of their kiss. He's probably waiting for me to make my next move. 

The funny thing is I have no intentions of telling Natsu, I am in love with him. but ruining Juvia's and Natsu's relationship won't benefit me in the way I want it. 

I'll be a rebound and I don't want that. 

I want Natsu to come to me on his own. 

Gray is one exciting person

Crazy asshole. 

He wants me to do all his bidding. 

☯💀☯💀☯💀

We have two weeks before summer break, which means I don't have that much time to befriend Juvia Lockser. 

I have to make sure Gray isn't wary of me. 

If he sees me trying something, he'll interfere for sure. 

*1st period* 

Thankfully I see Juvia most of the day today, but the bad news is I also see Gray and Natsu. 

Teacher: Okay everyone with school coming to an end and finals coming up I will be pairing you off based on the academic level.

Students: Tch. 

Teacher: The pairings are Levi and Natsu, Lucy and Leo, Rogue and Ultear, Gray and Lyon, Wendy and Chelia, Romeo and Gajeel, Juvia and Lisanna, and lastly Elfman and Meredy. QUICKLY MOVE WITH YOUR PARTNERS AND BEGIN! 

Oh! Sweet mother of god this is my chance. 

But man I can feel Gray's eyes on me, it's giving me bad goosebumps. 

Juvia: *shy* H-Hey Lisanna

She's so adorable!!! 

Lisanna: Hey Juvia, I'm sure this is a bit awkward since we've never really spoken, and well I'm Natsu's ex-girlfriend and you're his current girlfriend. 

Juvia: *fake smiling* Not at all, we're more than just Natsu's girlfriend and ex-girlfriend. I'm happy to be working with you.

Lisanna: I'm glad you see that way because I saw you and Gray the other night...

Her reaction was just how I pictured her, her cheeks were red, but her eyes were full of fear and of course, she glanced at Gray. 

Juvia: *nervous* S-So are you going to tell Natsu now? 

Lisanna: *chuckles* God no, I'm not the bad guy here. I just wanted to talk because I know what it's like to be in love with two people. I figured you needed someone who understood the situation. 

Juvia was hesitant at first, but she slowly warmed up to me and told me the situation. 

But I don't think she's in love with two people. 

If you ask me, she's only in love with Gray. but she's too chicken to even try so she made herself believe she's also in love with Natsu. 

But again that's what I see, but she could really be in love with Natsu. 

It'll be more in my favor if she wasn't in love with him. 

But I can tell Gray is the one she really wants. 

I wonder how long it'll take her to realize that. 

☯💀☯💀☯💀

Ultear's Pov 

What the fuck did I just hear? 

Juvia is one sneaky bitch. 

She's already dating Natsu fucking Dragneel, but now she had to kiss Gray too? 

It's already bad enough that he left me for that dumb blonde Lucy who also betrayed me by becoming friends with Juvia again. 

What's worse is that Gray was the one who initiated the kiss... How could he do that? 

Why is it always her? 

What's so special about that blue hair orphan bitch? She basically killed her parents so why is everyone always willing to go the extra mile for her... 

There was a time I loved Juvia with all my heart... but she became a different person. The Juvia I knew was always sad and gloomy, she was basically a rain woman. Everywhere she went it was sad and gloomy, and no one wanted to be with her. Then she came to this stupid school and befriended that dumb blonde Lucy Heartfilla and just became this light that made everyone happy. 

I hated her for becoming like that. She didn't need me anymore. 

☯💀☯💀☯💀

Classes went by pretty quickly and before I knew it, it was time for gym class. 

*bell rings* 

Ultear: Ugh there you are, god I've been looking for you everywhere. 

Minerva: Sorry, I was with Jellal. 

Ultear: You with Jellal? As if. He would never leave Erza to have some meaningless conversation with you. 

I've been "friends" with Minerva after Lucy bailed on me. She's pretty, but useless and unfortunately in love with Jellal Fernandes, my cousin. 

Minerva: Whatever, you don't have to be a bitch about it. So how's taking Juvia down going? 

Ultear: Well that blue airhead is in love with both Natsu and Gray. We'll see how much her relationship with both of them last if we spread rumors. 

Minerva: Tch. Are you sure? 

Ultear: *eye roll* Of course, I'm Jellal's cousin so I know what type of women he likes. He likes women who do things without caring what others have to say. 

God, how stupid can she really be? 

Like Jellal would ever glance her way. He only will ever eyes for Erza, especially now that they're finally dating. 

Things are eventually going to go in my favor, Juvia Lockser will pay for everything. She should've just stayed the pathetic wench she used to be.

I want her to know that the only person she needs is me. 

☯💀☯💀☯💀

Erza's Pov 

I couldn't believe my ears... 

All this time we thought Ultear was our friend, but all along she's been planning against Juvia. 

I should've paid attention more. 

Juvia does not deserve this. 

But what's worse is that Ultear is Jellal's cousin... should I tell him? 

I think I should... he deserves to know. Plus I need someone to confide in about this whole situation. 

I'm at a loss for words right now. 

☯💀☯💀☯💀

I waited until school was out to tell Jellal, I didn't want unnecessary rumors spreading. 

Jellal: Babe what's up? You said it was important 

Erza: I know she's your cousin and up until now she was a close friend, but Ultear Fernandes is the one sabotaging Juvia, I heard her tell Minerva herself. She's planning on destroying her relationship with both Natsu and Gray...

Jellal: Erza... do you know what you're saying? This is serious you know...

I knew he wouldn't believe me... 

I hoped he would though. 

Erza: Why would I lie? Jellal I'm telling the truth. 

Jellal: I never said you were lying, I believe you, I just wanted to make sure I got the facts straight babe. 

WHAT? 

Jellal: Ultear has always been that way, so I'm not surprised. I feel bad for Juvia, we should say something. 

Before I could answer, other members of our party ended up showing up. 

Evergreen: What are we saying to Juvia, Jellal-Kun, and Erza my darling?

Well... 

Talk about terrible timing.  

What should I do?

I don't want rumors to spread. 

☯💀☯💀☯💀

Jellal's POV

I can tell Erza is nervous, she's not a drama person so I know she can't handle the situation well. 

Ultear may be my cousin, but we're not close. 

She always was a liar back when we were kids. 

Well, it's now or never... sorry babe. 

Jellal: Ultear is the one backstabbing and ruining Juvia's life, she even manipulated Lucy, by promising her that Gray will love her. 

Erza quickly turned to me and her eyes were full of shock. 

She must've been in disbelief, but frankly, I want everyone to know how ugly Ultear really is. 

Erza: Jellal! 

She had a bit of anger in her eyes though. 

I could see the shock in everyone's eyes too. 

Evergreen looked scary, her glasses looked afraid of her. 

Laxus seemed calm for some odd reason 

Mira was on the verge of crying. 

Cana looked like she was ready to beat someone

Elfman looked hurt 

And Freid showed no interest. 

Evergreen: Well can't say I'm surprised. I never truly liked Ultear to begin with, but I thought her obsession would be about Lucy, not Juvia. Lucy is more of an IT girl than Juvia. 

Erza: *confused* Y-You guys believe us? 

Mira: Of course we do Ez, you have no reason to lie. Plus we're not idiots.  

Erza looked better, I'm happy things didn't fall apart, but I'm not much of an emotional guy, plus Juvia is like my little sister. 

Jellal: Now that we're on the topic, Juvia is dating Natsu, I however want Gray and Juvia to get together. What about you guys? Since Ultear is out to ruin her relationships with both of them. 

Laxus: I'm all for Juvia and Gray, that cocky bastard needs someone like her. I can't picture him with Lucy of all girls/ 

Mira: I'm more of a Juvia and Natsu girl, she's been crushing on him forever and I think he can make her really happy. Lucy and Gray do have their cute moments. 

Elfman: Juvia and Gray for me, I want Natsu and my little sis to get back together. 

Erza looked contemplated. I get it though, those two are basically her younger brothers. 

Evergreen: Juvia and Gray fit together much better, plus enemies to lovers are such a good trope. 

Cana: I definitely think Natsu can be the man Juvia needs, but I know Gray is the man for Juvia. so Gruvia for me.  

Freid: Juvia and Gray just sound better. 

Erza: Truthfully I want all of them to be happy, but I think Natsu is temporary happiness while Gray is everything she's ever wanted. 

Jellal: So... let's get this party started. 

After we chose our side, we started discussing if she should tell Juvia about what we heard. 

I think we should, it is about her. 

Cana and Laxus also took my side. 

Erza thinks we should collect more evidence, so she can believe us more. 

Evergreen and Mira think we should confront her. 

I think we should confide in Lucy. 

Regardless of what is going to happen, I have no interest in that, my only interest is in Erza. 

However, Juvia is precious to me and I'll do what I can to protect her. 

Juvia is a kind person, she doesn't deserve her friend to backstab her over two guys.
