"Mom I don't want to go to school. Can't I stay home and play with Natsu all day?"

"You can't do that, he's just a little baby and he needs his rest and you need your schooling."

I looked away from my mother, when we walked across the street, getting closer to that place she calls 'fun' when really it's the worse place ever. For an 12 year old, school is not fun. It's really hard, I thought sixth grade was going to be a piece of cake, but sadly it made me feel alone.  Nearing the door, she stop and bends down to my level, placing her hands on my cheeks.

"Don't worry alright, everything is going to be fine, just do what you can and ask for help if you need it alright. I love you zeref, have a good day at school." She kisses my forehead and pushes me towards the entrance. I look over my shoulder to see her smiling at me and waving bye, before turing around and walking away. Don't leave mom, I don't wanna be here. I enter the school, walk down the hallway to where my first period is.

Not a lot of kids are in the hallway, so I'm able to hear all the kids in my classroom talking amongst themselves. I slowly open the door, then close it behind me. I don't look up once when  I go over to my seat in the back of the room. I'm happy my spot was over by the window that looks out to the grassy fields, I'm able to see how green the grass is and how blue the sky is as well. I notice that the spring flowers are coming in, all the reds and yellows flowers. 

I hear the door open, thinking it the teacher I look over to see her walk in, but instead I see the beautiful blonde they call Mavis come into class, she sits in front of me. She comes over and takes her spot, sets her pencil case down then waits. I'm not sure why, but every time I see her my face gets hot and my heart beats faster. I think I'm getting sick or something, but I only get this feeling when I see her.

The teacher goes on and on about some guy and how he invented something, that I could really care less about. I rest my arms on the desk and use them to rest my chin on. I look outside once more and picture myself laying in the grass, feeling the breeze hit my skin, and having the sun warm up my body. "Yes, Mavis?" I rip my eyes from the window to focus on the blonde in front of me, the way the sun was coming in from the window, made he hair look like gold, almost like she was glowing.

"Can I move spot? The sun is hurting my eyes."

"Oh yes, go sit with Zeref in the back."

She's gonna sit next to me?!  I sit up quickly and watch her pick her things up, the close she gets to the chair next to me, the more my face heats up. I really hope I don't get her sick. She smiles at me before setting her stuff done. She sits in the chair, but seems uncomfortable. She glances over at me once more, but looks away quickly. Why does she keep looking away? Am I gross looking? Is there something on my face? The more I think about this, the less focus I am on the teacher and the more I look at her.

"Alright class, work on these sheets with the person next to you."

We are both handed some sheets that will require us to use our text book. She looks it over once then starts looking for the answer. I open my backpack to get my own text book, but I don't feel it inside. I sigh to myself when I know that I left my text book at home. I look over to Mavis who's writing down answers already. I have to talk to her. " Can I..."

She stops moving her pencil, then looks over in my direction. "What was that?" Her voice sounded very nice to my ears, almost lyrical in a way. I got tongue tied when I had to answer her back, but instead I just tapped on her textbook with my pencil. "You need to look too?" I just nod my head, she pushes her text book to the center and sits closer to me. "Here, I got some answers already, you can copy them and we can find the rest together." I take up my pencil in my trembling hands and write the answers down. 

She read the next question out loud then starts flipping the pages, it sees when she flipped the pages it cause some air between us, I saw part of her hair move and a little of mine. As I sat and waited for the pages to stop turning I couldn't help but smell something, what is that? smells like rose petals?  I look around to see if any of the windows are open, but I see that none are, then that same smell comes over me again. I can smell it on my clothes, my shoulder mostly.

"Zeref, are you alright?"

"Huh, oh yeah I'm fine, just smell something."

"Oh, that's me...I took some of my mom's perfume when she wasn't looking."

She smells wonderful. She tucks some of her hair behind her hair then goes back to working on the assignment. This gives me an idea.

After I was done eating my lunch I went outside to get some fresh air, the sun felt wonderful on my skin, I make way to my little spot in the field so I can just lay down and look at the clouds. All I could here around we was some kids off in distance and some birds chirping in a near by tree. As I was sitting there, I couldn't focus again, I've been spacing a lot today and it's because of Mavis, just everything about her is different, her eyes are beyond amazing to look into and her hair is something I've never seen before and how she smell...my mom said this is called something. A crush, I think that what it is.

"Mavis you look so pretty."

I sit up and look across the field to see Mavis with some other girls from our class, she was wearing this flower crown on her head, she really looked like a princess, she was beautiful. I felt my heart pounding in my chest, I think I should get her something. I stand up quickly and run over a pick up some flowers I see, then some more, before I know it I had about six flowers, but what I failed to notice was these flowers I picked were all smushed, its like I killed them as soon as I held them.

"I can't give her these."

"Give who these?"

I hide the flowers behind my back when I see Mavis is standing in front of me. "M-Mavis, hi." I heard the panic in my voice, I just prayed she didn't see the flowers I had just picked. "whatcha hiding?" Curse girls and them being so smart. 

"It's uh..."

"Hm?"

I pull the flowers out from my back and hang my head so I don't see her reaction. Please like them, please please please. I just stand there, still holding the dead flowers in my hand. I knew it she hates them, and now she thinks I'm so weird guy- 

"So beautiful, these are really the prettiest flowers I've ever seen."

"Really, but the flowers on your head.."

"Yes these are pretty, but they weren't picked by you."

She takes off her crown and takes the flowers from me, she sits down and starts making a new crown from the flowers I picked. It looked like a real challenge, the pedals were ripping and the steams looks weak, but somehow she manage to make a small bracelet out of the flowers. She stands up and holds it out to me. "Put it on for me?"

"Sure, okay."

I take the delicate bracelet from her and gently put it on her wrist. Touching her skin with my finger tips sent a jolt threw out my body. " Thank you." She holds the bracelet close to her chest and leans in and kisses me on the lips. My face must have been funny because she let out this cute giggle. "Your face is all red. Don't let the teacher see, she might think you're sick." 

"Right, I think I'll just sit here till it goes away."

"I'll sit with you."

She sits right next to me and rest her head on my shoulder. This isn't helping my face. "Zeref, can I tell you something?" I hum my response to her, I can't even remember how to use my voice right now. "I like you, I've liked you sense the beginning of school. It's okay if you don't feel the same way, I just wanted you to know." She likes me... I rest my own head on her own and close my eyes letting her scent calm my nerves. "I like you too."

For 6th graders, they got very colorful vocabulary. I'm sorry this is the first story you got after a long break, it felt rushed and all over the place, but I think it turned out okay. I got two other stories and I hope one of them turns out the way I want it to '^^. Anyway, hoped you liked it :)
