Juvia's POV

"So, we should fix this and this. We should suggest a lot of opinions for them. Their money isn't spent well." I told my coworkers. They're in my team and I'm the one handling them. We're only 5 though, including me.

"I should think of it." Laki Olietta said. S has a purple hair and wears glasses. Shs one of the girls I always talk to in this company.

"I'll help you, Laki." Max Alors insisted Laki. I noticed him always looking at Laki for the past few years I've been here. Eventually, I realized that he likes her even if he's not telling anyone. I hope everything would go well for them.

"Thanks, Max. That would be great." Laki said and gave Max a smile which made him blush and look away from them.

They're both in the same age as me. I'm a little bit jealous because I don't have anyone I like now.

"Youngsters these days." Bisca Connell said. She has a long green hair that stops above her waist. She's a year older than me and is married.

Alzack Connell chuckled beside his green haired wife. Those two likes guns and darts so much that they can't miss a hit whenever they use them. For the gun, I don't mean the real gun. That's not allowed.

They have a kid named Asuka Connell. She inherited her mother and father's skill in shooting. Whenever we play darts, I always lose to her perfect shots. Well, what can I say? Both of her parents are good at it so it's not that surprising at all.

Ugh, I'm a third wheeler. They're all acting lovey dove in front of me.

I put my fist on the table irritatedly. "Hey! Stop acting like that, you guys!"

They all smirked at me. I felt a nerve popping from my forehead. Why these guys...

I suddenly felt my phone vibrating on my pocket so I grabbed my phone and quickly answered it. It was from Lucy Dragneel.

"Hello, Juvia?"

"Yes, Lucy? Why did you call?" I asked curiously. She rarely calls me at this hour because we're both working and busy.

"I just called to tell you that we'll have a high school reunion this Saturday! Whipee! Erza, as the student council president, she planned this for all of us. Aren't you excited?!"

"High school... Reunion?" I asked, shocked. A reunion? What if... What if he's there? How should I react? Besides, he must be mad at me and... Umm...

"Gray's coming by the way. I just saw him earlier and told him about it. It looks like he'll be in Japan for a while. Of course, I gave him a good beating for not staying in contact with us."

"W-What? H-He's here?" It's been a while since I stuttered.

I heard her sighing on the phone. "Juvia, are you worried about Gray? Do you still like him? Though, I want you two to be together again but I just don't want to see you hurt again."

"What are you talking about?" I faked a laugh to avoid any suspicions. "I've moved on. Stop worrying."

"Good. Well, I'm hanging up now I had a day off to spend some time with Nashi. Good bye and be sure to attend, okay?"

"Yes... I will."

And she ended the call. I put my phone in my pocket. Saturday, huh? That's tomorrow. And, he's here... He's actually here. But why did he move here all of the sudden? He's been in the States for 7 years so why? And why now?

"Juvia, is something wrong? You look worried." Laki asked me as she puts her hand on my shoulder.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." I said to reassure her.

I'm having second thoughts about the party. Should I attend or not? If I didn't attend, he would think that I'm still affected by what happened between us.

No, he won't think like that since I'm the one who ended our relationship.

Attend?

No?

Attend?

No?

Lunch time

"Hey guys, I'm going out for a while. I'm gonna go buy food." I said.

"Don't you like the food in the cafeteria?" Bisca asked.

"Nah, it's not like that. I'm just craving for spaghetti with meatballs partnered up with iced tea." I giggled at my immature self. I seem like a kid.

"Oh well. You can't handle craves, can you?" Laki snorted. "I can understand you. Should I come with you?"

"No, it's fine. Go on ahead and I'll be right back." I winked at my two friends and went inside the elevator.

I pressed on the 'ground' floor button and the elevator did its thing. I sometimes get headaches whenever I'm inside the elevator. It goes down and up, down and up. It's frustrating.

The door opened when I heard a ting sound and I quickly ran off towards the exit of the building. There's this near fast food place that I like so much. I usually go there whenever I'm craving for their food.

Thankfully, when I got inside, nobody was on the line. This will be faster than I thought.

I went into the counter and told the cashier, "1 order of spaghetti with meatballs and my drinks will be a large iced tea. Also, plain sundae on a cone please."

She told me how much is it and I payed her. Then she told me to wait for a while so she gave me a number and I sat on an empty table. This won't be long.

"Juvia? Is that... Really you?"

I cringed. It's been years since I've heard his voice. The guy who broke my heart and told me I was ugly. I never thought that I'd see him again. I never even thought that he would appear in this story.

I looked behind me and saw him. His hair is still the same, same purple and style. He was wearing casual clothes. He became more mature than the last time I saw him. Well, it's been 9 years. It couldn't be helped. I'm not angry at him anymore. I guess we weren't meant to be together.

"Bora?" I called.

He smiled and sat opposite from me. I twitched my eyes. Is he going to be friendly? Besides, did he even ask permission if he could sit?

"It's been a while, Juvia. You became very beautiful now." He said happily.

Memories are coming back. The reason why we broke up... I shouldn't be angry. "Really? I thought I was ugly?" I scoffed.

He seemed surprised but he regained his posture. "Juvia... Are you still mad about that?"

"No. I'm just being sarcastic." I ain't lying.

"To be honest, I was drunk at that time. I didn't really know what I did. To be honest, you're beautiful. Then we broke up and years passed. I wasn't thinking straight so... I'm really sorry, Juvia. About everything." He bowed his head in front of me. "Though, I'm not expecting that you'll go back to me. You have a boyfriend, right?"

"No, I'm single." I said. "And please, lift your head up. It's been since that happened. What's done is done."

He lifted his head up and asked, "Wait, you don't have a boyfriend?"

I simply nodded. "None and still proud." Not proud.

"Wha---?! With your beauty, you could've gotten a good boyfriend!" He asked, shocked.

"Thanks for the compliment but you see, things just didn't go well with my previous boyfriend." I said, still keeping up with a smile.

"You had a boyfriend after me?"

"Yeah." I should change the topic before things get awkward. And my order's taking too long. It's usually fast. "So how about you? Do you have a girlfriend now? A job?"

"I'm an architecture now and yes, I have a girlfriend." He smiled. "I'm actually planning on proposing to her but I'm having problems with what ring should I choose and what her size is."

Propose?

"Juvia Lockser, will you marry me?"

I suddenly remembered that sentence...

"Bora, she won't mind about what it looks like or if it's big or small. What's important is that, your words are true." I told him. "Believe me."

"How do you know that?"

"A woman's intuition, I guess?" I said. I don't want to say that I was proposed to before.

"Thanks for waiting! Here's your order." Finally. The waitress can and gave me my order. She took the number and left.

I stood up and looked at the time. It's been 23 minutes and 19 seconds. "Well, it's nice seeing and talking to you again, Bora and I should get going."

"Oh work? Well, it can't be helped." He suddenly took my hand and shook it. He gave me his usual smile, like back in high school and said, "See you again, Juvia."

I smiled back and took my hand from his. I quickly went out of this place at a fast speed. Our lunch is only 1 hour and it's been 24 minutes! 36 minutes is no enough for me for a break.

I suddenly bumped into a guy and I almost lose my balance but I quickly controlled myself because I know that no one would catch me.

"I'm sorry!" I told him and still kept on running. I didn't even take a good look on his face but never mind that! I'm in a hurry!

Just when I was about to enter the building, I noticed that something was off. I looked at my right wrist and my bracelet is gone. My eyes widened and I panicked. "Of all days, why now?! No... This can't be happening. What should I do?"

"Excuse me, miss. Looking for this?"

I looked at my right and saw him. He got taller. He's wearing glasses now. I never thought that he would be this hot. He never changed. Still the handsome guy. But that's not it.

I didn't expect to see him this soon.

My eyes widened in surprise and he did that too. I guess he was surprised. I wasn't expecting this either, you know.

"Ju... Via?"

This scene reminds me when he asked me to be his fake girlfriend just to get Lucy.

Why does history repeats?
