Chapter One

Lucy's POV

I fidgeted nervously at the backseat of the car. I felt like throwing up. "Loke, could you drive a little slower?" I told my bodyguard Loke. He was also like my big brother, only three years older than me.

Loke glanced at my reflection on the rear-view mirror and smirked. "Any slower and the people who are walking might actually outrun us. Plus you'll be late." He chuckled.

I didn't say anything and looked out the window. I guess the vibes of nervousness were emitting radiantly from me because Loke sighed in defeat. "Yeah, I get it. Just calm down and relax. You'll be fine." He assured.

I leaned back and exhaled. Why was I so nervous you ask? It was my first day of school, that's why. And no, I don't mean first day like, I just transferred schools because I just moved here, no. I mean my first day ever. I had never been to school my whole life. I had been homeschooled my entire life until now being the heiress of the Heartfilia riches and all. That's why I have a bodyguard. My dad had recently decided to move his company to Magnolia to expand business. He wouldn't have enrolled me to Fairy Tail Academy if it weren't for my mom. She insisted to my dad that I start going to school so that I can have friends who are not my servants. It's a good thing I suppose. I would definitely like to have some friends my age who are not rich and snobby.

My train of thought dissolved as Loke hit the brakes. I was taken off-guard and almost hit the passenger seat when the car stopped. "Duude!" I cried. Loke chuckled. "Sorry, my bad." He got out of the car and opened the door for me. "Come on Luce. We're here." He extended his hand for me. I gulped and hesitated. Loke sighed and grabbed my hand and pull me out of the car.

"Hey." I squeaked. I tried not to lose balance and hold my feet on the ground as Loke closed the car door behind me. Once I did, I looked up to the huge building in front of me. 'Oh god.' I felt my stomach churn ten times more than it did before. 'No, Lucy. You wanted this.' Despite my conscious scolding me, I swiftly turned to get back in the car but Loke stopped me. "No turning back now Luce. Let's go."

"But… but I don't wanna go." I said in a panicked tone. Loke sighed and put his hands on my shoulders. "Lucy, you were totally excited about this last night too. And deep down, you still are. So you are going to go, okay?" I stared at Loke like he was crazy or something. "Okay?" He repeated.

I nodded promptly. "Alright then." He turned to face the building and gave me a light push. I took a couple of steps forward and glanced back at him over my shoulder. He mouthed "go" and gave me a wide grin and two thumbs up. I gave him a light-hearted smile and a small wave and made my way past the gates ignoring the many, many fluttering butterflies in my stomach. 'It's okay Lucy. You're going to be fine.' I assured myself and took a deep breath in and exhaled.

After roaming around the hallways and asking for directions, I finally found the administration office. I knocked on the door and poked my head inside. I cleared my throat. "Um, excuse me?" The lady behind the front desk looked up. She looked like she was in her early twenties with brown hair and bright green eyes. "Come in." I opened the door a bit wider and stepped inside. "Yes, can I help you?" The brunette lady asked. "Er yes. I'm Lucy Heartfilia. I'm a new student, I just transferred in."

"Ah yes, wait for a bit please. I'll get your class schedules." She said and hurried to the back. "Okay." I said in reply. I felt sort of relieved after that. She seemed really nice and sweet. 'Maybe everyone else is also like that.'

"Here you go Miss Heartfilia." The lady handed me the papers. I blinked blankly as I was lost in my thoughts. "Huh? Oh right, thank you." I felt my ears melt a bit as I took the papers from her. "Your homeroom is Class 9-A, second floor. It shouldn't be too hard to find."

"Okay, thank you." I smiled and turned to go out. "Oh, Miss Heartfilia." I stopped at my tracks as the receptionist lady called me and turned my heel. "Yes?"

"Please have all your teachers sign on your sheet and return it back here at the end of the day." She said. "Right, okay. Thanks again." I said as I got out of the office and started wandering the halls looking for my class, trying not to make eye contact with anybody whatsoever. 'It's now or never Lucy.' I thought.

Natsu's POV

I cursed as my ball missed the basket and bounced back to the ground. I picked the ball and did some more shots. It hit the backboard every time. I caught the ball when it bounced back and threw it to the wall in frustration. "Damn it." It bounced back into my face. "Ouch!" I yelled. "Come on!"

I heard somebody laugh behind me. "Karma serves you right." A familiar voice said. I looked over my shoulder to find a tall figure with dark spiky hair. It was my best friend Gray Fullbuster, although we didn't get along that well.

"What do you want ice-breath?" I said harshly as I rubbed my nose where the ball hit. 'Damn, that hurt.'

Gray scowled at me. "Look who's on his gift. Is that how you talk to your best friend who ditched class after the bell rang to come find you despite being in danger the scarlet demon if I was caught?"

My eyes widened. "Shit, the bell rang already?" I quickly fished for my phone in my pocket. I was ten minutes late. 'I'm so dead if she finds me.' Erza Scarlet was our school president. She was a demon monster who showed no mercy to aggravating delinquents like me… and Gray too. She definitely didn't like it when we were late for our classes and has a keen eye to the students who ditch school and roam around campus. That's why I ditch school and roam outside of school grounds. I still get detention though.

"It didn't occur to you to come and find me before the bell rang?" I exclaimed. "Hey, you should be thankful I came to find you at all." Gray snapped back. I mocked him and hurried out of the court. "Dude, wait up." Gray yelled behind me. I ran down to the end of the hallway and made it up the stairs to the second floor. I didn't even notice that I had bumped into somebody. 'Damn it. Why do I keep colliding with things and people today?' I looked up to see who I had bumped into. It was a blonde girl I had never seen before. But she looked familiar. "I am so—" she started to say but I cut in. "Watch where you're going blondie." She raised her eyebrows. "Excuse me? You're the one who bumped into me."

"Whatever." I scoffed and walked away.

"Hey, come back here you jerk." I head her shout behind me. I ignored her and hurried to my class before Erza found me and hoped she found Gray instead.
