Chapter 1: Fate

It was the first day of school in Fairy Tail University. Gray Fullbuster together with his friends Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox are now on the second year of their High School life. These three handsome boys are not just your ordinary boys next door. They are one of the most influential students because of their family businesses and wealth. They're also the star players of the famous basketball team of Fairy Tail University.

"We are already here young master. Are you sure you re fine here outside your school gate?" asked Loke- Gray's personal butler, assistant and a great friend.

"Ugh, come on Loke! Do I look like a grade schooler or something?" Gray says with an annoyed expression on his face while getting out of the car.

"If you say so. I ll be going then. See you." Loke answered.

"Yeah yeah, goodbye." Gray replied, waving on his orange hair butler as he turned his back and walk away.

"By the way, your mother, Lady Ur will be coming home next week from a long business trip. She says that she will have an important matter to discuss with you and will be staying for about three to four weeks. I wonder what it is." Loke added with a smirk that forms in his face making Gray stopped from his tracks.

He turned his head towards the car and was about to utter a word but he was already too late. The car that Loke was driving is now far and was about to turn on the corner.

It s been a while since his mother, Ur, comes home. For as long as he can remembered, the last time that Ur came home was four years ago. That was the year when he first entered middle school. He knows that his mother is going to ask for his help again concerning their family business. Well Gray s not really a smart person himself but he was good at socializing and running their company, after all he is the heir and the successor of all his family wealth. His older sister Ultear went off to travel the world as a freelance journalist and to help people especially children who are poor. At first, his parents were against his sisters chosen path but they realized that Ultear was happy doing her work, so they let her take what she really wants to do in her life. Unlike his sister who has dreams and goals in her life, he has none. He really doesn t give much attention on what he really wants to do in life at all. For him thinking about it was troublesome so he just go with the flow and follows what his mother and father wants him to be.

"Gray! What are you doing? You ice brain." A pink haired boy called while running to approach Gray. Bringing him back to reality.

"What did you say you flame head!" As he turns towards his friend Natsu Dragneel.

"Will you two stop that? It s not nice to fight during the first day of school." Both Natsu and Gray turned their gazes to know where the voice came from. It was Jellal Fernandez, one of the respectable juniors of their basketball team and also the current team captain and in his right side stood Gajeel Redfox.

"Jellal?!" both of them exclaimed. "what are you doing here?, we thought that you will have a business trip in Bosco and will be back next week?"

"Well the negotiation ended early as we expected and besides I have nothing to do there." Jellal said.

"Heh, before that, I think we should move on or else we ll be late. We don t want Erza to scold us do we?" Gajeel said, smirking.

"Yeah, Gajeels right. I don t like Erza to get angry, she will let us do some community service again just like what she did last time." The three nod with agreement to Gray s statement, and then they started walking.

Fairy Tail University s location was situated in the Land of Fiore, on the southern coast of the country in Magnolia Town. The school was well known for its prestigious facilities and education system making it the number one school in the whole Fiore for almost seventeen years. Most of the students that are enrolled here excel in sports, academics, arts, socio-cultural activities such as dancing and singing and many more. Some came from elite families and some are scholarship grantee that the school personally accepted due to their natural talents and skills. The name of the school Fair Tail represents a sense of adventure for one to be able to discover more about mysteries and fate and was founded by Mavis Vermilion, its first master principal.

Gray was talking with his friends arguing and comparing about their favorite bands as they walk through the school main entrance when someone bumped unto him making the things of that person fall to the ground. Gray looked behind to see who it was that bumped him. He saw a weird looking young woman with dark blue eyes, pale skin and her wavy blue hair was tied in a braided ponytail wearing the school uniform and thick eyeglasses that was slightly being covered with her bangs.

"Hey, watch where you re going. Can t you see that there s a person walking in front of you?" Gray said, coldly to the weird looking girl.

"S-sorry." The girl bowed her head as she apologized to Gray without even showing an emotion on her face. Lifting her head up, she saw a tall young handsome man with a spiky black-colored hair and a same dark blue eyes as her. Behind him she saw three other bishounens whom she assumed his friends. One with an average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes and spiky pink-colored hair. The other one is a tall and muscular young man with long, spiky black hair, which is usually kept slicked back, revealing his forehead, has red eyes with slitted dark pupils and no visible eyebrows, he has studs on his face with three of them above each of his eyes, three on each side of his nose, two on his chin just below his mouth and his ears are adorned by two sets of five earrings each. The last one is a young man whose most prominent features are his blue hair and a strange reddish marking/tattoo under and above his right eye.

"Easy dude, she s a girl." The blue haired with a red tattoo on his right eye whose name is Jellal said.

"Whatever." Gray replied to Jellal.

"If you ll excuse Juv-.. I mean, me, I have something important to do." She said. Quickly, she picked up her belongings which have fallen on the ground and as soon as Gray spoke she already left.

"W-wait! Aghh , that girl pisses me off." Gray said, pissed.

"It s because you re such a dummy!" Natsu and Gajeel laughed in unison.

"Shut up, you fools. Didn't you see that? She just walk out on me, does she know who I am?" Gray exclaimed.

"Here we go again." Jellal thought.

"You know what, let s go, we re gonna be late." Gray said.

For some odd reasons Gray feels something strange and mysterious about this girl. He, himself, doesn t know what is it but he feels uneasy about it. When he was about to go, he noticed something on the ground, it was a teru teru bozu doll (a handmade doll who brings good weather and stop or prevent rainy day). Is this thing hers? Why does she have this weird looking doll? Well, this might get interesting. Gray thought. He picked up the doll and kept it on his bag then he run chasing his friends.
