With a new school came new friends, new adventures, new romances, and of course, new drama. And she should have remembered that when she took her first step into Magnolia High.
"Lucy!" A yell from the other side of the door awoke her from the girls not-so-peaceful slumber. The blonde teen rolled over and faced the door, yanking a stuffed llama out from under her, whipping it towards the door, signaling to the her dad she was awake and, mostly, alive. A sigh and shuffle of feet down the hall told her her dad left, leaving Lucy to either get up or be late.
Deciding to not be late, as it was a new school and she wanted to make good first impressions, she flipped the covers off her legs. She quickly showered and changed into the school uniform, which consisted of a short gray skirt, white button-up shirt, a pale yellow sweater vest and a white and blue striped tie, that was neatly tucked into her vest.
"Lucy! Hurry up! The bus arrives in ten minutes!" A faint yell echoed from the living room, she could only assume.
"Coming dad!" Lucy ran a brush through her hair, tying it into a side ponytail with a pink bow. The junior rushed down stairs after taking a deep breath and greeted her dad while passing by the living room, eyes flickering over to the clock perched above the TV. It read 6:47.
"Alright, I'm going dad, see ya tonight" She grabbed her bag and left before he had the chance to respond.
The air outside was faintly warm, warning the girl summer was being whisked away and fall was arriving in a few short weeks. She took one more deep breath, savoring this moment before rushing off to the bus stop down the road.
As Lucy neared the bus stop, she spotted a small blue haired girl. She stood by herself, lightly swinging her bag next to her leg. Walking up silently, she stood next to the bluenette, making note of how she was wearing the same uniform, though she wasn't wearing the vest.
"Hello!" She exclaimed after 30 seconds of awkward silence. She threw her hand at the now startled Lucy and watched her.
"Uh, Hello" Lucy took her hand and shook it gently. She smiled and pulled her hand anyway, then looked the blonde up and down before letting her smile grow.
"Are you going to Magnolia? Because that's where I'm going!" The blue haired teen exclaimed, excitedly.
"Uh yeah. I'm Lucy by the way" She awkwardly rubbed her neck and smiled.
"Oh! I'm Levy, pleased to meet you Lucy" Levy introduced. They smiled and she let Levy ramble about the school and things she likes and what Lucy may be interested in, until the bus arrived. As the 2 boarded the yellow bus the taller teen felt dread, she didn't know anybody and was sure Levy already sat with somebody. After watching Levy flop into a seat an empty about mid-way down the bus she was left no time to panic, as her arm was pulled and she fell into the seat next to her new blue hair friend. The brown leather immediately stuck to the back of her legs but she ignored it and continued to listen to Levy talk, and tried to absorb it all at once.
After a 15 minute bus ride and a conversation about books, the two arrived. Lucy exited the bus and waited for Levy who got caught behind her. When the shorter of the two managed to escape, barely,she claims, she lead Lucy to the school. A gasp escaped her lips when she first spot the building. It looked to be about 3 stories tall and tan, windows lined every story and on top sat a giant clock that read 7:23.
"C'mon Lu-Chan" Levy grabbed her wrist once more and dragged her towards the school building, "I wanna introduce you to some people before class starts". Instead of entering the school, Levy lead Lucy along the side of it, following some sort of path, that looked worn, like it was used often.
"Levy-chan, where are we going?"Lucy questioned, stepping over a large root trailing across the path.
"We hang out here all the time, don't worry about it" Levy threw her a smile from over her shoulder before ducking under a few branches and disappearing behind a few more bushes. Lucy let out a sigh before following suit, trying not to get her new uniform caught on any branches.
She exited the cluster of nature and stood in a tiny clearing. Her brown eyes scattered over it, there was a small wooden/metal coffee table and a few fold up chairs, she noticed a few stumps scattered about it. What really caught her eye was the small group of people that sat there.
"Morning guys" Levy called out, raising a hand and waving, earning a small mornings and nods.
"Hey Levy? Who is that?" A man with spiky black hair piped up. He was in one of the fold up chairs, stretched out as much as he could be, a navy blue backpack dangling off the back of his chair.
"Oh! This is Lucy. She's new here" Levy pulled Lucy farther into the clearly letting everyone see her better. Lucy nervously smiled and waved. She had no idea who these people were, but they didn't look very was only 3 of them, the black haired one, a red haired lady and a another boy who had strange pink hair. Though maybe it was more salmon.
The 3 of them were silent for a moment, staring at her, as if they were debating if she was worth their time. The looks she was being given made she think she wasn't. Well that was until the pink hair one bounced up from his spot on a stump next the the coffee table and bounded over, a smile laced in his lips the whole time.
"Yo, I'm Natsu" He held up his hand, showing her a peace sign. Lucy let her eyes quickly trail along his face, memorizing his details, for no particular reason. She felt the urge the scan the rest of him, but stopped herself, instead she smiled and let out a quiet hello. Natsu chuckled and took the hand holding out the peace sign and put it in the pocket of his faded dark red sweater.
The two other members of the 'clearing squad', as Lucy had deemed them, walked up and offer a nod and smile. They introduced themselves, Erza was the tall Scarlet haired woman and Gray was spiky black haired man. All 3 were wearing the same uniform as her, though each was a bit modified. Erza had a dark pink jacket on instead of a vest, while the boys ditched theirs completely, being left only with gray slacks and a white button up shirt. The only difference between the two was that Gray left his tie loosely dangling around his neck, while Natsu replaced his tie for a white scarf.
"So Luce, where'd you go before?" Natsu threw his arm around the blonde's shoulder and led her over to the seating, the others trailing along.
"Oh um.. The Fiore Academy for Young Women" Lucy twiddled her thumbs, hoping the didn't think she was just some snobby rich girl. Fiore Academy for Young Women was an all girls school for rich girls. There you were taught manners and how to be proper, though Lucy was never very good in those classes, she excelled in a couple of her core classes, English and History, to be specific.
"Ain't that the school for rich girls?" Gray questioned across from them, sitting in his folding chair once more. Lucy paused before giving a quick nod.
"To be honest, it kinda sucked" Lucy chuckled slightly along with Natsu, "I was never good at the manner classes and all that". She sheepishly smiled and rubbed her neck.
"Those are actually classes? Well what was your grade?" Levy questioned, she was sat on a blanket that lay on the ground around the coffee table, it was mostly likely there so people could comfortably sit close to the coffee table when doing homework.
"F" Lucy paused, "Minus" She felt the blood rising to her cheeks, leaving them warm, embarrassed about her grade, that or how close Natsu was sitting to her. Not because of liking him or because he was cute, it was because she wasn't use to sitting this close to people, especially guys, she told herself.
Natsu bursted out laughing, his arm leaving her shoulders to hold is stomach. Lucy looked the group, trying to find someone who wasn't laughing at her. Gray was in the same state as Natsu and Erza, as much she tried not to, couldn't help but chuckle. Lucy quickly looked to Levy for help, only to find her rolling around on the blanket cackling. The blonde sighed in defeat and slumped back into the fold up chair she and Natsu currently share.
Natsu stopped laughing and leaned back to, pressing their shoulders together, his slightly on top of hers. His head turned towards her, making her turn towards his, causing there nose to be an inch apart, much to the comfort and discomfort of Lucy.
"What?" She questioned,"Done laughing at me?". Natsu smirked at her and shrugged.
"Maybe" He keep watching her, a thoughtful look on his tanned face. Lucy raised an eyebrow, silently questioning the man next to her. He grinned at her, showing his sharp teeth. "I was just thinking about how well your gonna fit in here". Lucy smiled at him before chuckling, then letting her chuckles turn into full blown laughter, merging with the the other 3 who were surprisingly still laughing.
"Okay, Okay" Levy let out a large gasp, trying let air back into her lungs, "We need to go, first bell rings in 7 minutes" Levy stood and brushed off her skirt, and grabbed her back from nest to her, flinging into around her shoulder. The rest followed in suit, grabbing their backpacks and miscellaneous objects and exiting the clearing, hurrying their way to class before first hour began.
A week later and Lucy felt content with school life so far, she ended up having 1st, 4th and 6th hour with Erza, who was student council president. Erza kindly help her through her first few days, even offering to escort her to all her classes the first 2 days. Levy and Gray were in her 3rd hour, and Natsu was in her 5th. Sadly, she was left alone in her 2nd hour. She hadn't yet made that many new friends except the 4 others, though she met a couple others through 'clearing squad', but they were more associates than anything at the moment.
Life had been smooth for the most part. Levy lived down the road from Lucy, so she never had to worry about being alone once she arrived home. And every morning they would hop off the bus and head to the clearing to meet with the others. Every morning she would arrive and Natsu would slide over enough for Lucy to sit in the chair with him and this would often happen after school. It was clear Natsu and Lucy had become close fast, anytime they could be, they were glued at the hip.
Yes life was good, until...
"NATSU!" A shriek echoed the room, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE"
