OK guys this is my first fan fiction story and i would really appreciate any feedback you have. But for now sit back and enjoy!

Lucy had been dreading today, her first day at Fairy Tail High. Lucy Heartfilia had never been sent to an actual school before. She'd always been home schooled by her father, Jude Heartfilia's army of tutors. She had always hated those lessons but had grown used to them. Starting her junior year in an actual high school would be a whole new game, one she had no idea how to play.

Lucy let out a sigh as she got out of bed and got into the shower to start getting ready. Lucy lived in a small apartment in Magnolia, home of Fairy Tail High. Although she came from a wealthy family, Lucy had run away from home a few years after her mother had died. She'd lost her mother when she was 7 years old. That was also when she'd started to lose her father as well. She'd been working tirelessly over the summer to pay for her apartment and her school books.

Her family used to be incredibly close, but when Layla, her mother had died, her father had become distant. He was always working and never had time for his daughter. During the Spring break of her sophomore year Lucy had tried to convince her father to go to Miami as a family. "We're no longer a family," was all he had said in response.

When Lucy wouldn't drop the matter, Jude had slapped her across the face. Lucy instinctively put her hand to her face. The slapped hadn't hurt all that much, it was the shock that caused her to move her hand. She looked her father in the eyes, his hatred reflecting her own, and said, "You're right, we haven't been a family in almost 8 years". She started to walk out of her father's study. When she was nearly at the door she turned around and said, "You're a failure of a father, I hope you know that!" and walked out.

She hadn't known at the time but that last statement started a chain of mental and physical abuse Lucy went through for the few months before she was done with her sophomore year. She was covered head to toe in scars, most she could cover with clothes because her father didn't want the world to know what happened in his house. He went from being an absent father to an abusive one and Lucy wasn't sure which was worse. Lucy had left in the middle of the night on the 30th of June after being told by her own father that her mother had never loved her.

Lucy winced at the memory as she ran a finger of the scar on her stomach and got out of the shower. Most of her scars had healed but she still had plenty of psychological scars. Lucy put on a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt as it was still quite warm outside. She also wore her favorite trainers. She stepped out of her apartment and started the 20 minute walk to her new school.

When she got to the high school, she was greeted by a really nice lady at the front office.

"Hi, I'm Lucy Heartfilia." She said with her brightest smile. "I'm new here, do you happen to know where I'm meant to go?"

"Oh, you're Lucy. Welcome to Fairy Tail High," she said with an equally bright smile. "I have your schedule here, a map of the school, your locker number and combination," she said handing everything to Lucy. "Erza Scarlet is meant to give you a tour of the school. Could you excuse me while I call her?" she asked. Lucy shook her head and the lady went to the intercom. A few seconds later, Lucy heard, "Would Erza Scarlet please report to the front office now?" The request was echoing throughout the whole school.

After a few minutes, a beautiful girl about Lucy's age was walking towards her. She had the most beautiful scarlet hair and beautiful brown eyes. Lucy couldn't help but admire her.

"Hi," she said, "I'm Erza. You must be Lucy. Welcome to Fairy Tail," she smiled like an angel.

"Yep, I'm Lucy. Nice to meet you." Lucy said in reply

"Well I'm a senior and I'm going to be giving you your tour of the school"

"Thanks, Erza" And they started the tour.

Twenty minutes later, Lucy and Erza were in front of the cafeteria. They had been to every classroom she needed to know and her locker. "This is the cafeteria. You have to be here at one for lunch. Now you've seen the whole school" Erza said.

"It's a really big school, I'm probably going to get lost a few times."

Erza laughed at her comment, "Happens to the best of us. What homeroom are you in?" She asked

After looking at the schedule she was still holding Lucy said, "Room 27."

Erza was beaming. She said, "That's my favorite junior class. It's full of all my best friends. Let's go! I'm always looking for a reason to go see them!" she was saying excitedly.

"What about the teacher?"

"Oh it's fine, they have a free every first class. It's the perfect opportunity to meet everyone." And just like they were in front of Room 27. Erza looked like she was ready to burst from excitement. She must really love them Lucy thought.

Suddenly Erza Burst through the door. "Hey guys!" she practically screamed.

"Erza!" The whole class screamed in response.

"This is Lucy," she said looking at me, and Lucy waved. There was a chorus of his and heys.

Soon Erza and Lucy were walking up to a group of about 10 people. "Guys, this is Lucy." I smiled at all of them not really paying attention. They replied with a chorused 'hi'. Then Erza started the introductions.

"This is Gray," she said pointing at the raven haired boy who, for reasons unknown was shirtless. "Gray you're clothes!" Erza yelled and the whole group laughed. "This is Lisanna" she said pointing at a girl with the most beautiful white hair who waved with a huge smile on her face. "This is Levy" she said pointing at the petite bluenette who was absorbed in her book. "This is Juvia" she said pointing at the other, taller bluenette who had been looking at Gray. "She's Gray's girlfriend" she added laughing to herself.

"Shut up Erza!" The two said together.

"Anyway, this is Cana." She said pointing at a brunette. "This is Loke" she said looking at the orange headed boy. "And this is Natsu" she said looking at a pinkette who was wearing a white scarf with scales. "And that's the introductions done. Cana, Levy, I expect you two to take great care of her" she said as her facial features turned deadly.

"Yes, ma'am" the two said in unison.

"Okay I have to get back to class but you're in great hands Lucy." She winked and walked out.

Once Erza was gone, the group turned on Lucy. "Tell us about yourself Lucy," Cana said, and Levy nodded her head.

"Well I turned 15 this summer. I'm and only child. I live alone in an apartment twenty minutes away from school. My mum died when I was 7 -"

"What about your dad?" Levy asked.

Lucy hesitated, not knowing what to say. She didn't want to destroy possible friendships by making them think she was emotional and broken but she also didn't want to lie. She decided she would give them a version of the truth, "My dad sent me here to teach me some responsibility since I've never really been away from home."

"Ok..." was all Cana said. "Do you want to sit with us at Lunch?"

"Y-" Lucy was about to say yes but was interrupted by Natsu.

"She can sit with us at Lunch if she answers my question."

"oh OK" she said, nervous.

Not even hesitating, Natsu asked, "Why did you lie about your father?"

Everyone turned to look at Lucy.
