Hey! This is my first story I'm publishing and the first Gratsu story I've ever written. I've written a lot of Sasunaru stories though so I've learned a couple things. I may be slow on updating, but I'll try to regularly. Hope you enjoy my first Gratsu story!

Fairy Tail Academy: Chapter 1

If you've been to high school, you know what I'm talking about. Well most of it, anyway. High school is tough, we all know that. But try being an uber-powerful Dragon Slayer that's supposed to slay dragons in high school. You'd think I'd be really respected, right? Guess what? The world has it out for me!

I'm at the bottom of the social latter.

The very bottom.

I'm the old, stinky shoes of the social latter.

How, you may ask, did I get to the bottom of society's rankings? Well, I once had to explain something to my best friend Lucy Heartfilia and this one little punk from ninth grade decided to text it to the whole school!

Let's just say no one has seen that kid since.

No, I didn't kill him.

I just maybe, kinda, sorta, accidentally shared the most humiliating photo of him with the entire city of Magnolia.

Anyway, back to my point: I'm the least popular kid in the tenth grade.

I have some friends in other grades, but only three friends in my grade. And two of them act like they don't know me when popular kids come around!

So, yeah, life sucks.

But I'm gonna tell you now, I don't do that sappy stuff, you got it? So if you were looking for a sad and romantic story to drown your own horrible love life in to make yourself feel better, read no further.

Actually, you shouldn't be reading this at all because this is my journal and you shouldn't be reading it

And don't mix this up for a freaking diary, got it?! I'm a dude! Not some fan girl writing a fan fiction like all the girls who are obsessed with anime do!

That stuff is just stupid.

I keep getting off topic.

High school is hard.

I already said that.

So, tenth grade, bottom of social latter, has a "secret" the the entire high school knows.

That about sums up my life.

Oh yeah, and my best friend, Lucy, remember her? Yeah, she's at the top of the social latter and is dating this guy named Loke or Leo or whatever he goes by now.

See, this guy, Loke, as I know him, is actually a Celestial Spirt. That means he's from another world. He's a real lady's man, too. It drives me insane!

Loke decided to go to school in the human world because Lucy was here. And after three years of Loke begging Lucy to be his girlfriend she finally said yes. So he had no damn reason to leave.

That meant more torture for me.

Don't take this the wrong way, I didn't mind him taking the girls, that was fine by me. I didn't really ever get into dating them.

The problem was that Loke was taking all the time that I got with my best friend away.

At Fairy Tail Academy, we had to be in dorms, which sucked! And I was in a dorm with this guy who was at the absolute top of the social latter.

Like, the very top.

You see the problem here?

He was at the top. I was at the bottom. Top. Bottom.

Not a good combination. End of discussion.

But I guess you could say we could get along every now and then.

I just totally contradicted myself.

But yeah, that about covers it for now, anyway.

Wait! So I have a flying blue cat named Happy. But he isn't allowed on school grounds. I tried sneaking him in once, but that didn't make the guards very happy. Ha! Irony! But since I couldn't sneak him in, I asked my guild master if he could take care of Happy while I was at school, and I visit Happy every day afterward.

I've mentioned Lucy as my best friend. But the two others that act like they don't know me when popular people come around, their names are Sting and Rogue.

Their cool.

But their inseparable. Their both gay and love each other, but their still fairly high in the social latter!

It's not fair!

I guess I should explain what got me to the bottom so you get what I'm saying.

See, this one time, Lucy caught me checking out a guy and asked why. I had to explain to her and that asshole from ninth grade overhear.

He heard me confess something I hated about myself.

Lucy said that she'd be my friend even if I was an alien.

She said that even if that's what I was, it didn't matter.

The blonde meant every word she said, too.

But the little rug rat had to be there of all places and all times.

That little ninth grader recorded me confessing to my best friend that I didn't like girls, but boys.

And as I've already mentioned, I'm a dude.

I'm a dude with pink hair and big eyes that are black but turn green.

I'm the Fire Dragon Slayer, Natsu Dragneel.

I'm now at the bottom of the social latter.

And I'm gay.

So what did you think? What do you think I need to do better? I'd love to hear your comments. Don't be afraid to say that I need to do something differently. Really, really hope you enjoyed! I don't own Fairy Tail or any of the characters! Yup.
