Walking home, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being followed. I mean, its not a weird feeling, a lot of kids live on the same street, but a new person is walking down the street as well. Some of the kids I walk with are people I never talk to in school, we just walk near each other for safety reasons. Towards the end of the road the two kids leave and I'm left alone to continue down the same road.

I wonder why he was watching me. People just don't do that unless they're a creep. I laugh at my though and reach the fork in the road. I look for cars on each side then proceed to cross the street. I can see my street approaching, but what I also see, is the same three guys. Just perfect, I thought this year I would avid them. I try to duck out of their sight, but its to late, one of them shouts my name making me jolt a little. I hear their footsteps get closer to me and I quickly try to think of to get out of here, but before that happens, I'm yanked to the ground.

"Well look what we got here, the star pupil of english. It's nice to see you again Mavis~"

"Did you have to pull me to the ground Justin."

"Well we both know if I didn't, you'd run away."

Justin lets one of his friends hold the handle on my bag while he walks around and crouches down to my level. "What do you want, I'm going to be in trouble if I don't get home soon." He touches my face and I flinch while swatting his hand away. "Don't touch me. Just tell me what you three males want."

"We want the same thing as last year and the year before that. You must do all our english work for the whole year."

Why did I ask? I already knew that's what they wanted, but this time is going to be different.

"No way, not this time. I got really sick last year from all the extra work and for what, so you three won't fail beginners english. Well that's not-"

"That's not the answer I want to hear.

He holds my chin in place by his gross hand, while his two friends rip my bag off me. With Justin's free hand, he holds it right in my face."Either its a yes, or this bag goes home with me." No, that has my story in it. "Hey! Give that back." by now we're both on out feet and he dangles it above my head. "Gotta jump for it. Come on, jump for me~"

"You're disgusting. Just give me my bag."

"Not till I hear a yes."

I've started to have it with this Justin guy, his stupid voice and face are pissing me off and I want nothing more than to give this guy a piece of my mind, but its three against one not and hello, their guys, its a losing battle. "I'll give you one more time to give me back my bag or else."

His face looked stunned for section, then is replaced by a hardly laugh, and that gets the other two going. "Is that a threat, that's just to funny. You hear that guys." The other too snicker at my comment, but when Justin isn't looking, I stop really hard on his foot, causing a chain reaction of scream, curse words, but most importantly he dropped my bag. I quickly try to receive it, but Justin is quicker than me and pushes me really hard on the ground. I can feel the thin fabric on my elbow rip and my skin meting the sidewalk.

"You stupid bitch, there's no way you're getting this back now."

He gets my back and all three of them take off with my bag. I try to stand on my feet, but my back is really stiff and its hard to move. With them already at the corner, I thought that was it, but what I see really shocks me. Justin gets to the corner first, but is met by a baseball bat to his shins. He falls back and grabs his shins in pain, his friends looks to who ever is hiding around the corner.

W-What's happening? I sit up fully and see the two guys run off, leaving Justin cursing at them. The owner of the bat drops it to the side, and pulls Justin up by the collar and in one swift move a fist comes in contact with Justin's face and from the sound of it, it must have been painful. The owner,walks away from him, while taking my bag with him.

Justin stands up, holding his nose in place so he can stop the bleeding, runs away. Well, that's what he gets, that jerk. Feeling satisfied, I see my bag coming back to me, but I don't bother to see who retrieved it for me. The person stands before me and puts my bag into my open hands.

"Oh bag, I thought we'd be apart forever."

I hug my bag tightly, like its my teddy bear. I put it back on, then look up to see who got it back for me, so I can thank them. Looking up, I'm shocked at who it is, I'm almost to shocked to say anything. Dark eyes again.

"Z-Zeref?"

~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh look, a new chapter. I'm sorry again for it being so late, forgive me '^^.

Who knew I'd be so vindictive and have Zeref use a freaken baseball bat in this chapter. Welp, it happened and it was pretty cool I think. I'm a crazy person.

Anyway, I hoped you liked it :)
