Hello readers. So this chapter is crap. Basically, I have no idea what I wrote. I truthfully say, this chapter was not interesting to me. I don't like it. I like the story yes and I love my further chapters but I had no idea how to start so this is my scrap of it. Am I satisfied with it, ehhhh. But I promise you; the later chapters will be awesome!
Also, can you guys help me pick out a better name for the story or should I stick with it?
Fairy Tail Academy Dilemma
Prologue
Juvia Lockser walked down the crowded hallway. It was no biggie. She had been enrolled in Fairy Tail Academy for 2 years now. She was use to the noisy chatting of teens on not-so-important subjects, the large amount of students bumping into her, the smell of perfume and hot dog breathe for breakfast. Everything.
Her blue hair sweep up in a high, tight pony tail. Her wavy hairstyle brushed past her shoulders but Juvia didn't mind. It was her new look and she was happy with it.
Her aqua blue eyes darted around the hall.
"Geez," she thought to herself. "Where are they?"
Juvia was hoping she may bumped into one of her best-girl-friends (BGF) on the way to the gym.
She fiddled with her pink butterfly hairclip.
"Oh good," she muttered in her head. "Stop it! You'll ruin your manicure!"
At that, Juvia dropped her hand, saving her not-so-new manicured nails. It was painted in different shades of blue, reflecting the waves of ocean overlapping on the seashore and some strays of white as clusters of foam.
Juvia gripped onto her folder and adjusted her messenger bag, her key chains rattled with soft chimes of cling.
She turned at a corner and pushed open the dull coloured gym doors.
She was greeted with a flash of bright light before her eyes got use to it.
"Ju-Chan!" the bluenette heard someone exclaimed before being tackled into a hug.
She couldn't help let out a laugh. "Good morning Levy-Chan!"
Levy McGarden, a short petite and also blue haired girl grinned back. "What took you so long?"
"Ah- Sorry." Juvia apologized before slumping her bag beside the other scattered bags. "I overslept."
"You overslept on the first day of school?" asked a certain blonde girl. Lucy Heartfilia kicked her legs up playfully. "Nice,"
There was a chores of laughs and giggles.
"Oh shut up, Lucy-San, or I'll tell Natsu-San you were the one who sprayed his motorbike hot pink before school break!" Juvia joked, trying to sound serious but failed.
For a moment, Lucy's brown eyes widen in surprise but then relaxed. "Oh yeah right!"
"By the way, nice curls!" Erza Scarlet, first female student council president of Fairy Tail Academy commented on Juvia's new style. "It suits you."
Juvia smiled. "Thanks!"
"It's really cute, Juvia-Chan!" Mirajane Strauss clapped her hands enthusiastically. "Shall we start practice, everyone?"
"Do they have to Mira?" groaned Cana Alberona as she took a sip from her bottle of booze.
Normally the other girls wouldn't mind practice but today everyone teamed up against the white-haired beauty.
"It's the first day of school Mira-San! Let's just hang and talk about what we did for summer!" Bisca Moulin plead.
"In that case, I guess we could skip practice today!"
Another chores followed by whoops of 'Yes!'.
"Erza, Cana, would you like to join us for some morning tea?" Levy questions, holding up a basket of packed food.
"Heck yeah!" Cana screamed and punched the sky while Erza nodded.
A large racking sound burst through the gym, in runs a young girl with dark blue hair; Wendy Marvell.
"Oh, I'm so sorry everyone! Carla was being moody this morning and wouldn't let me off early without causing a problem!" Wendy apologized, bowing in the process.
"It's okay! Technically, you're not late, everyone's early considering we have to meet up at 6am instead of 7am like the other students." Levy sing-song. "Cheerleading practice is canceled today. We're just about to have small feast."
Yes, cheerleading. Everyone in the room were cheerleaders except Erza who was too busy with her presidential work, Cana who thought working out was too bothersome and Wendy who was too young so she was nominated water girl, she was also handy with first-aid when someone was hurt.
The dress code for them –the cheerleaders- were white cheerleading matching outfits; a sleeveless top and skirts that reached their thighs with short pants underneath added with orange outlines. The school badge and school name written in orange at the front of their uniforms while the heir's name of the clothing at the back, also orange. The other policy for the cheerleaders were their hair, high pony tails only. Their main purpose were to cheer for the school not go all fashionable with their hair.
"That cat of yours need a reality check. You're her master and she's the pet, not the other way around." Cana muttered, munching on a sandwich.
"Cana, don't eat at the gym! That's a strict school rule!" Erza snapped, adjusting her glasses.
"Fine, fine, Miss Scarlet."
"Let's eat outside." Lucy said grabbing her pink backpack. "The weather's nice today."
The others nodded.
"Let's climb the old oak tree while we're at it!" Juvia cried, almost slipping on the gym floor as she raced out. "Last one there's gotta buy us all smoothies after school!"
"You're on!" Levy shouted with glee.
"Yehaa!" the green-headed girl sprinted towards the tree.
Mirajane scratched her cheek. "Oh my,"
By the time the girls reached the tree, Wendy was claimed the loser however since she was the youngest and newest addition of the team, the girls decided to call the bet off.
Truth be told the old oak tree was their favourite hang out. They could spend hours talking, eating or climbing the tree there.
"So Juvia, what happened to your oh-so-famous third-point of view?" Lucy asked, admiring her baby pink nails decorated with one key on each finger nail except the thumbs which had two keys (twelve keys of the zodiac). Before the school break, the girls decided to paint each others nails and keep them in perfect condition until the next sleepover, so far, everyone's were fine, a bit chipped off but fine.
"Well," Juvia explained hanging upside down from the tree oak's branch. Juvia's upper body, arms and head swayed as her legs supported her. "I decided it was time for me to be more mature. Quit the baby talk, you know? I even took up a part-time job at a newly open water park."
"That's cool." Chimed Levy sitting on the same branch that Juvia was hanging on. "That job seems to suit you since you're captain of the swim team."
"What do you work as, Juvia-Chan?" Mirajane announced, pouring mint tea for herself.
"A life guard," the taller bluenette spoke still upside down. She was getting dizzy.
"Wow, Juvia-San, you're a hero." Wendy informed, dazzled by her senior's job. She looked up to all her seniors and they never seem to reach their amazing limit.
"Eh?" Juvia blurted out, astonished by what her junior said. "N-No, not really, Wendy-Chan."
"So, if someone needs mouth-to-mouth, you'd kiss 'em?" Cana snickered, swallowing down a cupcake.
The swimmer blushed and opened her mouth to reply but Bisca answer for her. "Of course not, Cana-San. It's so obvious Juvia-San likes Gray-San. She wouldn't go kissing some random stranger. Besides, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation needs to be learned. You don't just expect to kiss someone and then, poof, they breathe again."
"Oh," Cana cooed. "So, you're saying Juvia would let the person die from lack of oxygen?"
Juvia was shocked by Cana's statement. "What? No! I would let a more experience life guard take over." God! Her being upside down and talking about her crush was not helping her head. The world was now currently spinning. "I admit, I like like Gray Fullbuster but come on, girls, he'd never date me! He's got like a billion people at his feet. And I said people because I'm pretty sure some guys would go gay just for him."
"True, Gray was born a pretty boy." Erza sign, licking her fingers that were full of crumbs. "What did the rest of you guys do for the holiday?"
And thus the round of story telling about what each and everyone of the girls did during summer break was told.
Lucy spent her time writing her novel and working as a maid in a maid café to pay her rent. The money was good.
Levy spent her time buying new books and reading them. End. That was pretty much it.
Erza went on dates with her boyfriend, Jellal Fernandes who was enrolled in Paradise Academy.
Same with Bisca, she went on dates with her boyfriend too, Alzack Connell.
Cana miraculously took a part-time job … at bar. She drank a lot and her pay check was now only ¼ of her original price. But she only took the job because she wanted to help her dad; Gildarts in a way after he was involved a bad car accident and lost most of his left limbs and body parts. He now uses prosthetics.
Mirajane spent her holiday overseas with Elfman to visit her sister Lisanna who was studying abroad.
"Oh boy," cheered Wendy, it was finally her turn. She was about to tell what she did during her break but before the young mid-teen could speak to her friends, the sound of rumbling motorbikes filled the air.
"Speak of the devil." Bisca murmured. "Here comes the boys."
"Oh shit, Wendy, you're like a witch! Seeing the future and crap." Cana bad-mouthed, drinking her alcohol again.
"Cana, please, control you're language." Erza warned. "May I remind you, Wendy is not old enough to be exposed to these words."
"Okay, fine, sorry!" the drunken brunette apologized. "Geez, take a chill pill!"
"I don't associate with drugs." Erza responded firmly.
Cana stared back. "What?"
Fun Facts
The author started writing at age 12 and the title of her first book had sliped her mind though she remembered there was the word 'Academy' in it.
The author had spent most of her primary school years discussing anime shows and novels with her friends. She recalled one time when a teacher had corrected her spelling error which was the word 'Academy' written and spelled in 'Akademi'. The teacher then asked the whole class to spell 'Academy' out loud and to the author's embarrassment, she was the only one who had got it wrong.
After that the author was seldom caught scribbling in her examination pad during class.
Please correct my grammar and spelling errors! Thank you!
