I do not own fairy tail
Chapter 1: Intro
This isn't a fantasy. I'm not delusional either, hell I'm not even high or on drugs either, but I think I'm in love with my best friend, no its not Lucy, I'm talking about that pink headed idiot that I knew since my first few years in high school. This wont make any sense if I start from here because this didn't happen out of the blue just like with most things in my life, let me rewind the story of my high school life with my friends and my first crush on a guy its all started from before I even met him.
After working hard all summer I finally got accepted into the most prestigious high school of Fairy Tail high. I know what you're thinking a high school that you need to do exams for sounds crazy but its worth it. This is a high school for those with the most brilliant talents and the sharpest minds and no matter what you aspire to be if you can get through the full 4 years of this school you get an instant scholarship into the university of your dreams. Yup sounds cool huh? It wasn't easy it took 2 months of my summer to just study for the exam and I passed with flying colors along with my best friend since the rugrat ages Lucy Heartfillia. Speaking of which I was on my way to her house right now, we walked to school together since the 3rd grade so we brought on the tradition for high school also. I walked up her mile long drive way (forgot to mention that she was stinking filthy rich times two) when I finally reached her front of her house the door swung open as if it was about to ripped out of its hinges.
"Yeah, yeah whatever! I live life the way I want to and break through your stupid expectations!" Lucy came storming out of her house fuming. "Sorry about that Gray it's just that has came up again." Lucy and her dad get along as good as fire and oil. I would explain it but that's not my story to tell.
"Don't sweat, its not like I haven't heard it all before." I said with a hint of irritation, I wont lie, I strongly dislike Lucy's dad for a lot of reason but again its not my story to tell so I'll leave it at that. "Let's get going were going to be late. By the way you're uniform looks great on you, I would fall in love if I didn't know you picked your nose."
"Oh shut up!" She hit me over the back of my head. "You know I Haven't done that since I was two stop bringing it up already! Oh and thanks a bunch, you don't look to bad yourself Mr. Fullbuster." Her face went from a demon to a saint. She looked really hot if she wasn't like a sister to me I would be all over her. The white sleeveless uniform top defined her melons to their finest (not an understatement) with a bright red tie resting on them. Her plaid mini skirt emphasized her hips with the addition of her mid thigh stockings looked great with her perfect toned legs. Lucy's not like other girls, usually they would wear flats or heels but she always wears boots. She wore combat boots all the time but its not like it looks bad on her its just her own little thing, luckily Fairy Tail high is loose with their uniform regulations. My uniform was a white shirt, a red tie that hung down to my belly button and black pants. Maybe I'll make my own modifications later on too.
"Man aren't we a little two sided, or should I say a lot."
"Hmph if I wasn't like this I wouldn't be me after all now would I?" She pouted at me, I let out a laugh. "Isn't this great Gray? Finally after 8 years of hell we're finally free!"
"I know right? It's almost like a dream, so whats the first thing you're going to do when we get there?"
"Hmmm, I don't know maybe I'll secure my grades in the A+ range and then try to get a boyfriend." That's another thing about Lucy, shes smart and I don't mean just any regular type of smart, she's Albert Einstein smart. She's the perfect girl for any guy except for her bi polar personality.
"You sure you wouldn't bite his head off and stitch it back on?"
If you haven't guessed it, I earned my second hit in the first 10 minutes of being with her.
"Do you have to be so gruesome in the morning, can't that just wait until night time?"
"Hey hey I have my problems you have yours."
"Whatever, so how about you? What are your plans, are you going to make any friends this time around?"
"..."
Even though me and Lucy get along fine were not exactly the same socially, shes extremely popular while I'm...not. The last time I had a good friend was in elementary school and that did not turn out good at all.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it like that..." She said with regret in her voice.
"Don't be, I can't go through the whole 4 years without a friend its not like I can cling onto you forever we might even grow apart one day." I said have seriously but its true, I'm an awkward kind of guy unless you get to know me and I've been with Lucy my whole life, I can't bring her down with me all the time it just wouldn't be right.
"Stop saying that, you know we will always be there for each other we promised that since we were kids." She raised her voice, not out of anger but from anxiousness. I guess its not just a sensitive topic for me.
"Yeah, sorry Lucy. Hey look is that it over there?" I pointed out a huge building in the distance. It was white with gold...Everything, gold gates, gold ledges, gold pillars, heck it was bigger than 3 mansion combined. It was 4 floors and the field was at least a radium of a kilometer, it was perfect for sports or picnics and the trees were nice and tall and made great shade. Its a dream school. Lucy and I were standing from a distance staring at it as if it was heaven.
"Watch out!" An unfamiliar voice yelled out to us and it sounded like it was getting closer and closer each second. When we turned around to look behind us we saw a guy with pink hair on a bike charging straight at us. By the look on his face I guess he couldn't control the bike seeing how it wasn't slowing down. It started turn to the side and it looked like it was going to hit Lucy.
"Lucy move out the way!" I ran and pushed her out the way and took her place and then BAM in the blink of an eye I was airborne and landed right on my ass.
"Gray are you okay?!" Lucy ran over to me and was bending down right beside me checking to see if their was any serious damage.
"Yeah I'm okay, my ass might be broken though."
"Dude I'm so sorry! My bike is broken but I didn't want to walk cause I would've been late so I took it without thinking I know it was stupid I'm sorry my name is Natsu Dragneel." The pink headed idiot introduced himself after making me fall on my ass and hes perfectly fine? What a great guy.
"I'm Lucy Heartfillia, even though you're stupid its nice to meet you." Lucy introduced herself in a way that best represents her personality, sweet and sour. He seemed to laugh it off though.
"What about you spiky hair guy."
"Gray, Gray Fullbuster." I said looking up at him. Even though I was still on the ground I could tell he was at least a good height taller than me, he looked thicker than me also my guess is he could probably kick my ass in a fight.
"Here let me help you up."
"No! Don't touch me its fine I can get up on my own."
"C'mon don't be so cold its my fault in the first let me at least get you on your feet."
He reached down and grabbed my shoulder, I couldn't do anything but tremple.
"Fuckin punk get the hell outta my face you worthless piece of shit."
"Please I'm begging you let go of me." I pleaded to him, I couldn't even meet him eye to eye anymore, I couldn't even think never mind I was shaking so much to the point I didn't even feel my clothes anymore.
"Oi, is he alright?"
"Um, don't worry about it hes just not feeling well I'll take him to a washroom, I'll see you later Natsu!" Lucy grabbed me and we went far enough to an alley leaving Natsu behind looking confused. It took me a minute before I calm and catch my breath. "You're still not over it aren't Gray?" Lucy asked looking me straight in the eye with concern.
"It happened so long ago I know but Its just..."
"Its alright I understand, hell I should know better than anyone else."
"I'm sorry you had to look out for me again..."
"What are friends for, but Gray you can't go to school here if you can't get over this. I know its hard but its the truth." Lucy was right, she always is the wounds on my heart are deep but I won't allow them to heal.
When I was a little kid my Dad and my Mom didn't get along, they would fight everyday to the point my dad couldn't take it any more and it got physical. My mom didn't argue anymore, she was too scared. Every day he came home he would hit her for no reason, I hated it and I hated myself for not doing anything even though she always told me not to while she tended to her injuries. When I was 12 I couldn't take it anymore and I tried to fight him and he didn't take it in the right way at all. He beat me to the point I was unconscious and I had to be hospitalized, I even broke my arm. The worst part is he still lives in my house I still get hit I'm to afraid to do anything. Lucy doesn't know though, if anyone else was more angry about was her, if she knew she would definitely call the cops. It may be the right way to go about it but I would hate to go to a foster home and be torn away from my mother its better if I take the hits more than she does even though it breaks her heart. Ever since that anytime I get touched by a guy I break down especially if their bigger then me, I was already awkward enough now that?
"Yeah I know its just hard you know? Can we talk about this later we have ten minutes until school starts. Lets start jogging." I dismissed the talk I could tell Lucy was still on it but she had no choice. We would look like horrible students if we came to school late so we raced to school.
When we got there all the freshmen had to gather in the gym for opening ceremony. It was pretty crowded in there me and Lucy were pretty much cramped. We watched from the out edge of the gym because of my phobia. After a long time of talking we got our timetables and you wouldn't believe it, me and Lucy have zero classes together. We agreed to meet up and lunch and we parted ways. I was walking through the hall ways the school to my class when I ran into a familiar face.
"Oh, hey Gray are you doing alright now?" The rose haired guy asked me, he didn't look like he was going to touch me this time.
"Y-yeah sorry about that don't worry I was just out of it t-thats it." I really can't talk to this guy, just looking up to him, even though hes not that taller than me is still intimidating.
"Don't be so nervous, without my bike I'm harmless I swear." He laughed which made me crack a smile but just a small one. "Let me see your timetable."
"Sure." I handed him my timetable and I watched his onyx eyes scroll from side to side, I can't help but to look in his eyes. For someone so friendly his eyes look so fearsome.
"Hey we have period Math, Bio, English, and Fitness together looks like we have a lot of time to be friends buddy." He said with a wide grin. Why is this guy so positive?
"You wouldn't find anything interesting about me sorry." Well it was true, with the exception of Lucy everyone I ever talked to got bored of me or was completely freaked out whenever I got comfortable, I tried walking by him dismissing what he said but then he spoke.
"How would you be so sure? Besides I already took an interest in you." He said in a serious voice, I couldn't see my face because my back was turned to him.
"An i-interest?" I muttered out, for some reason I felt nervous. Hes tall and strong looking and I'm not good at talking to people like that but why are my feelings different this time than the others?
"Yeah, you flew 20 feet and you were perfectly fine you must be strong, we should fight some time." I turned around to look at him and he was smiling at me like we were rivals, that's a weird way to challenge someone.
"That wont work for me no thanks." I turned around and started walking again, its best to have acquaintances not anything closer than that.
"Hold on wait a sec." He started walking. "We have first period together might as well walk together."
"Sure...why not." Seriously this guy is persistent, hes like a puppy in a bulldog body. Hes nice I got to admit but I really don't want any other friends I learned my lesson a long time ago about being friends with the wrong people.
"So was that Luigi girl your girlfriend?" He asked suddenly, it was out of the blue.
"Its Lucy and no, a childhood friend."
"How long did you guys know each other?"
"Before I can remember."
"Are you guys close?"
"We did walk together after all." This guy is annoying, is he trying to make conversation or is he trying to get at Lucy?
"Then why don't you guys go out?"
"Why does it matter?"
"Just does."
I didn't know where he was going with this but I just didn't answer I hate when people talk to me and don't get to the point. We made if to class after the most awkward walk of silence. It was a fairly large room. Our teacher was an old looking guy with red hair and a 5 o'clock shadow. He was sitting at his desk waiting for the bell to ring. Everyone was already seated, I guess I was late. Luckily there was a desk at the back left corner close to the window I knew that would be my spot for the year as I sat down I heard a chair best me drag across the floor, it was Natsu. He decided his spot would be beside mine, so irritating, hes nice but too nice.
The bell rang and the teacher stood up from his desk.
"Okay class, My name is Gildarts Clive but please just call me Mr. G. welcome to grade 9 Math. We'll be together for a year so lets make the best of it, now lets start off the morning with attendance."
He seemed sorta lazy I could tell already this class would be easy. I was bored half way through anything he was talking about I already knew. I was starring out the window when I noticed a piece of folded paper landed on my desk. I looked to the side and noticed the pink haired idiot was trying to nonchalantly try to play it off as if it weren't him.
Hey, I'm bored.-natsu
I wrote back and tossed it back on his desk, a few seconds later it came right back to me.
Then work.-gray
works boring, lets play a game.-natsu
Again I wrote back threw it and it came back to me.
No thanks leave me alone-gray
why are you so cold? Do you hate me? Is it because of the bike? natsu
I'm bored, I don't know you, look at the second part-gray
then by my friend-natsu
I'm not that interesting save yourself the hassle and just lay off-gray
Whats with this guy, even in the gym I caught a glimpse of him talking to a group of other people, why does he want to be my friend so badly if he already has enough. A different piece of paper came back, it was blank I guess the old one was full.
How would I know if I don't try- natsu
because I know myself-gray
but its just that...-natsu
Whats with the him why did he just cut it off, not that I care but its something to do.
What were you going to say?-gray
It took him a while to throw it back but eventually he did.
I think I like you-natsu
What? I-is he serious? What does he mean me? Just to make sure I read the paper over again like 10 times, why does my face feel so hot I couldn't even think straight I didn't even want to look at him because I was so caught of guard. I finally built the courage to look over at him and he was busy writing another note and he send it over, I picked it up and read it.
R friend lucy-natsu ps your expression was pricessless LOL don't worry though im not trying to use it I like you too!
I read it and for some reason I was both relieved but disappointed but I don't know why, all I know is that I wont have just any regular high school experience.
