It's Monday in Magnolia.

The date is X792 and it's 9:45 in the morning.

There are many people out and about, minding their own business. But, there are hardly any teens around.

Probably because they are all in high school.

There's Lamia Scale, Sabertooth, Blue Pegasus, the all-girls school Mermaid Heel, and the all-boys school Quatro Cerberus.

But there's one high school that's really popular and acts more like a family than a school.

It's name? Fairy Tail.

~Lucy~

I was hurrying to get my books out of my locker because I was running late to Mr. Macao's class. Even if he teaches the most boring subject of all time, I still need to keep my grade up in there.

I finally got my got my stuff out of my locker when the bell rang.

Shit, I'm late.

I jogged the rest of the way to the class, cursing the fact that my locker was far away from my destination. When I got there, class was already in session and Mr. Macao was already teaching.

"You're late Ms. Heartfilia," he said reproachfully.

"Sorry sir," I said with my head slightly bowed.

"Just try not to be late again." he said. "Take your seat please."

I nodded and quickly scanned the room, spotting my blue-haired best friend in a seat reading a book with an open seat next to her. I hurried over and sat down next to her, startling her out of her wits.

"Oh my goodness you scared me Lucy," she said breathlessly. "Why were you late, where were you?"

"I was on my way to my locker when Natsu and Gray came running down the hall while being chased by Erza," I explained to her quietly, my voice low enough that Mr. Macao didn't hear me.

"Oh jeez, what did they do now?" Levy asked exasperatedly.

"Well…" my voice trailed off as I remembered what happened earlier today.

~Flashback~

I was heading to my locker to get my books for History class. Even if Mr. Macao was teaching it, it doesn't excuse it of being dreadfully dull. I was about to turn the corner when I heard voices shouting in the hallway.

"We're sorry Erza, we didn't mean to!" two voices shouted simultaneously.

"YOU'RE SORRY?! SORRY DOESN'T BRING IT BACK! I' GOING TO SKIN YOU TWO ALIVE!"

I couldn't stop the shudder that rolled through me. There's no mistaking Erza's voice, which means that the other two must be Natsu and Gray. A second later, when I rounded the corner, they crashed into me, sending all three of us tumbling to the floor.

I groaned as I sat up holding my head. I looked to the other two to see them holding each other with terrified facial expressions. I turned around to see what they were looking at and almost screamed in terror.

Erza was stalking towards us with a murderous expression on her face and a chair leg in one hand. How she managed to rip it off I never wanted to know, but it was clear she planned to use it on the two boys next to me.

I stood up slowly and approached her like I would a wild animal. "Erza, try to calm down," I said as calmly as I could.

"I WILL NOT! THEY NEED TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE! I WON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!" she shouted menacingly.

"What did they do that was so bad?" I asked timidly.

She took a deep breath before admitting tearfully, "They...t-they ruined my strawberry cake!"

~Flashback End~

I finished telling Levy what happened and she sighed. "Those two idiots will never learn will they?" she asked.

"Doesn't seem likely," I answered dryly.

"Ladies, will you be so kind as to be quiet. I am trying to teach here." Mr. Macao said sternly.

We looked around and saw everyone staring at us while trying not to laugh. "Sorry sir," we said in unison as we faced forward again.

For the rest of class we payed attention to what he was teaching - even though I was fighting sleep the entire time.

~Levy~

The bell rung, signalling the end of class. Both Lucy and I had free periods so we went outside in the gathering space. Most of the Junior High kids had lunch at this time and chose to eat out here.

I searched the crowd until I saw blue hair.

"Wendy!" I called out to her.

She turned around and started waving at us, a smile on her face. "Levy! Lucy! Over here guys!" she called out. I linked arms with Lucy and we walked over to her.

Wendy walked up and gave Lucy a hug and then me. We sat down at one of the benches and began talking. "How were your classes Wendy?" Lucy asked her.

"They were great! Well, except for English. That class is hard and the homework looks impossible," Wendy said dejectedly.

"Well I can help you out when we get home. English is my best subject after all, along with writing." Lucy said proudly.

Wendy looked up excitedly. "Really!? Oh thank you Lucy!" she said while throwing her arms around her.

I couldn't help but smile at the two of them.

Lucy parents adopted Wendy when Lucy was ten years old. When they passed away four years later, Lucy became an emancipated minor so she could look after Wendy instead of them becoming separated. Wendy absolutely adores Lucy.

"Hey Levy, isn't that Gajeel?" Wendy asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I quickly turned in the direction she was pointing and saw him.

Gajeel Redfox.

The guy a lot of people are afraid of but to me, just seems like a guy acting tough. And since he's friends with our friends we see him everyday.

"Aren't you going to go over and say hi?" Lucy asked teasingly.

I felt my face go red as Wendy giggled. "Why would I?" I asked, trying to sound actually confused.

"Oh come on Levy. Both me and Wendy know about your crush on him," Lucy teased.

"I-I um.." I tried to come up with something but my mind was blank. Meanwhile Lucy and Wendy were laughing so hard they had to hold their stomachs.

"Well what about Natsu?" I shot at her and she shut up immediately. Natsu was her best friend but she's got this ginormous crush on him too. Only me and Wendy know about it though.

"What about him?" Lucy asked with a red face.

I giggled. "You really want me to say it out loud?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow. Before she could answer though, the bell rung, signaling that the period is over.

She hurriedly jumped to her feet. "Oh would you look at that it's time to go I'll see you at lunch bye Levy," she said quickly and ran away.

Me and Wendy sweatdropped and facepalmed in exasperation. "I'll talk to her when we get home," Wendy said as I stood up.

I grinned at her. "Ok Wendy. See ya later!" I said to her as I turned to go class.

"Bye Levy!" she said behind me.

Me: Yay! First chapter is up!
Natsu: Why didja make me and Gray get beat up in the first part?
Gray: Yeah that's not a good look.
Lucy: I thought it was pretty funny.
Levy: Yeah me too!
Natsu: Lucy! You're supposed to be on my side!
Wendy: But in her defense it was pretty funny.
Erza: Yes quite funny.
Gray: Oh you're a piece of—
Me: SILENCE! THIS IS MY STORY SO MY RULES! OK MINNA!?
Everyone: Aye sir!
