When you attend Fairy Tail High, there are three unofficial rules spoken among the students.
#1: Always obey the student council unless you wanted to end up dead.
#2: Avoid that broom closet on third floor like plague if you're single. Never walk with a boy together pass that point unless you're together and if you don't wanted rumor to spread like wildfire.(Partly Bisca and Alzack's fault as it was rumored that they did it in there. So now it's known as the broom closet of smutty love)
#3: The most important rule, NEVER EVER interact with Lucy Heartfilia if you're a guy and don't have a death wish.
These are the keys to surviving Fairy Tail high.
POV: Natsu
The worst day of Natsu's life actually started out pretty tranquil. He woke up and had breakfast and did other necessities like a normal person. School was boring as usual. His friends annoyed the hell out of him like they usually did. It started when Titania came to deliver the news.
Natsu walked out of the mind numbing classroom and into the recess yard. He yawned and stretched his limbs. The peaceful moment didn't last for long as seeing how a parade of screaming fan-girls headed towards Natsu. He groaned. Natsu really didn't want to deal with them now. He ran heading towards the soccer field knowing that their coach restricted anyone from entering that area without his permission.
Natsu was the star player of the school's famous soccer team, The DragonSlayers. Every time when he was out on the field, the feeling of freedom and adrenaline pumping through his veins, always overcome him. He loved soccer. It was the release from the boring schoolwork, endless math sessions, and the harsh reality of his life. So far, they have won almost every game and gained the reputation as Magnolia star soccer team even if they weren't professionals.
"Hey, dungfire." Gray,one of Natsu's teammates,(and his rival) called out.
"You want to fight, snow cone!?" Natsu yelled, whipping around to face him.
"Now's not the time, pyro." Gray said impatiently. "Look, Erza's looking for you. If I were you, I'll go and find out what she wants. Before..." He gulps and ran off.
Damn. What did she want? Last time Erza looked for him was when Natsu accidentally walked into the girl's' locker room (He was new to the school! Snow princess had tricked him, saying that it was the principal's office. Of course, he got his revenge later.). Natsu shuddered as he remembered the memory. It just so happened that Erza was in there. She had beaten him half to death while lecturing him about knowing better than to besmirch the poor girl's virtue. He rolled his eyes at the direction that Gray had ran off in.
"Coward!" He yelled at his disappearing figure.
"Natsu Dragneel!" A voice commanded from behind him.
Oh no. So that's why Gray fled. Natsu turned around with a grin plastered onto his face.
"Hey Erza!" As much as he feared her, Natsu, Gray, and Erza were great childhood friends and still were now. He respects her and loves her like a sister. Not that he will ever admit it.
"This is no time for greetings." Erza said seriously. "We have an urgent matter to discuss about. We shall meet at the principal's office as soon as recess is over." She adjusted the small black frame glasses on her face and gave a sharp nod at his direction and walked away quickly.
Natsu is so dead.

Natsu shifted uncomfortably on his seat in the main office. Erza's news worried him greatly. Nothing good ever gets out of being called to the principal's office. As seeing how Erza was the head of the student council, she helps the principal, Makarov, handle the paperwork and talk to the various students about issues with their records or schoolwork.
The assistant secretary, Mirajane, called out Natsu's name, indicating him to join the principal. He pushed himself up and wipe his sweaty hands on his pants. The principal wasn't going to call home, was he? Sure it might not have been as big as a deal as it might has been back in elementary school but still, Natsu didn't want to disappoint his parents.
Mirajane smiled sweetly at Natsu. "Don't worry. Master isn't usually strict. I'm sure you'll be fine."
Natsu smiled weakly and muttered a thanks to Mirajane. Natsu knew her because she is the sister to Natsu's childhood friend, Lisanna Strauss, who is currently an exchange student in Italy. Natsu stayed over at house many times before Lisanna left. Mirajane and Elfman were nice despite the fact that Elfman often declared that he was a real man and Mira once being dubbed as The She-Devil(unbelievable now seeing her angel smiles, sweet attitude, and her occasional bikini clad posing for the magazine Sorcerer Weekly). And as for addressing Makarov as master? Perhaps, it was just the perverted side of Makarov showing when he insisted that, that will be the title the girls of the school will address him as.
Natsu stepped into the office. It wasn't like what you usually imagined the office if a principal to look like. They desk was over cluttered with trinkets and papers were scattered everywhere. The file desk is overflowing with with student records and such. It had a homey and warm feeling leading the students to relax right before being shocked by the crocodile snapping jaws. Well, Natsu wasn't going to make the same mistake.
Right next to the spinning office chair sat a huge pile of Sorcerer Weekly magazines. Makarov sat on the chair with a magazine flipped to the bikini model centerfold. He made satisfied appraising noises. Erza stood next to him holding a bundle of papers.
"Master! Please save these inappropriate activities for after school!" Erza scolded
"You make me sound like I'm doing something dirty." Makarov grumbled and reluctantly put the magazine away. He folded his hands and faced Natsu. "Now my boy-"
Natsu screamed panic stricken,"WHATEVER I DID, I'M SORRY, OLD MAN! I DIDN'T MEAN TO! PLEASE DON'T SEND ME TO DETENTION OR HAVE ME PLAY ONE OF YOUR CRUEL PUNISHMENT GAMES! I HAVE SOCCER PRACTICE AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES ARE COMING UP-" . Interrupted by Makarov he stopped and stared him.
Makarov grumbled,"You could've gotten detention for a week just for calling old man. Natsu, it's nothing important. If it were up to me, you'll get off easily-" Seeing the look on Erza face, he stopped hastily stopped fearing for his wellfare. "Ehm-What I mean is, Natsu, you're failing badly in your classes! In fact the only subject you're passing in is PE. That is unacceptable! It is essential for every student in our school to pass in every major subject in order to maintain the reputation of our school."
Natsu relaxed a bit. "Oh, that? For a second, I thought it was actually something important-"
"This is important!" Erza said glaring at Natsu. "You don't understand the gravity of this situation. If you fail in any of these major subjects, you'll get sent to summer school. Worse for you, you'll be prohibited in participating in any extracurricular activities if you fail this marking period!"
"What!?" Natsu yelped. Soccer was everything for him! It had made him popular, gave him freedom and release. Erza knew that. "Why-?!" Natsu started to complain angrily.
Makarov held up his hand. "There is still another month till the marking period ends. You'll have afterschool three times every week to meet up with your tutor."
Natsu's eyes widen. A freaking tutor?! He calmed down as he remembered that his spot on the soccer team depended on it.
"Who is it, Gramps?" Natsu grumbled as he reached into his back pocket for his small bottle of Tabasco sauce and downed it. Okay, maybe not completely calmed down yet.
Erza sighed at this peculiar habit. "Lucy Heartfilia will be helping you with your studies."
Speak of the devil, the door opened and none other then the coldhearted, cruel, spoiled princess appeared.
Lucy's cold gaze swept over him. "He's the idiot I'm suppose to tutor?"
Natsu sweatdropped. He was violating rule #3. No one dared break that rule. Well, except for some occasional stupid guys who thought asking her out will end differently from the other times when she brutally refused and stomped on their heart's.
He was so so dead.
