~Chapter 1~
Homeroom and Bleu-nettes
Erza groaned as Lucy plopped down next to her on the bus; bus
fifteen, A.K.A. living hell. Other than the kind bus driver, Lucy, and the 8%
of the kids who were quiet and said nothing, the bus was filled with loud,
stupid, narrow minded idiots. Erza just loved Monday mornings, the M sound
was just a ray of sunshine; Monday, mornings, malicious, morbid, etc. Erza
got about 3-4 hours tops of sleep last night so she knew it was going to be
a relatively long first day of school. It was the scarlet headed
adolescent's junior year at Fiore High, she was forever and always a member of the Fairy Tail team, and the strict policies that accompany it were already bearing down on her harshly, just at the mention of them. She drifted between awake and asleep the rest of the way to school.
Erza looked down at her schedule; first, there was a twenty five
minute "silent" home room, she was room 207. Her teacher was Mr. Makarov
Dreyer, whom she was well aquatinted with from elementary school. She and
Lucy trudged through the ninth and tenth grade halls to reach her locker
which was convincingly next to Lucy's she had an end locker which was really
lucky. The extra space to move around while at her locker was appreciated
much. The building was already uncomfortably warm and the temperature was rising in the Fairy Tail Team hall. Erza knew most of her classes would be here from experience but Lucy was new so Erza promised to assist her and assign her an idiot(A.K.A. Natsu) to help her around.
She and Lucy left their coats and bags in their lockers and organized
them the best they could. Erza couldn't help the shiver that shot down her
spine when she recalled the dreary, cold, and wet wait for the bus, the smell
of rain still hung in the humid air. Her shoes were soggy and squishy from
her .4 mile walk to the bus stop from up on the hill were she lived with
Lucy under the supervision of Obaa-chan. She was irritated by the affects of the humid air on her hair which wasn't particularly curly as it was unruly.
She strode down the busy hallway with Lucy tailing her. Some of the idiot boys were pushing and shoving some girls ahead, upon further inspection it was Gajeel, Laxus, and Bixlow pushing Lissana and Kinana around. She froze when she reached them and Laxus granted her a smirk, thus pissing her off she grabbed him by the ear and Gajeel by the hair and just glared menacingly at Bixlow.
"What the hell is your problem Scarlet!" Laxus grunted obviously in pain as Erza jerked even harder on his ear.
"What the hell is your problem Laxus!" she shouted "And watch YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE!" she growled in addition. She slammed them against the lockers and continued walking down the hall.
The white linoleum floor still shone from being waxed and the blue lockers stood out against the white walls. There was a bulletin at the end of the team hall with upcoming events on it. On it was their team crest blazing red, with a stunning white background. It was simple but amiable, Erza took pride in the fact that their house was based off the Fiore Mages, but all the other houses were envious. Then there was the student council, or Era as they called it. There were also individual team councils and Erza couldn't wait for the elections for those. Even the best students could only make it to their team councils due to the fact that Era was chosen by the school board causing it to be rather biased and corrupt.
They reached the very end of the hall- room 207- and entered the class room. They were greeted with a loud,
"Lucy! Erza!" and there was a pink flash as Erza found herself smothered in a big hug from the pink haired idiot along with Lucy.
"Natsu! Good to see you! How was your camping trip!" Lucy inquired attempting to hug him back.
"Awesome, I caught tons of fish for Happy! He loved them, you remember my cat Happy right?"
"Yeah, the blue cat who clings to me and eats a lot." she said dully.
Erza left the two to chat, after all it was Natsu who had found Lucy around main street walking alone. Some mugger had tried to abduct her but Natsu had saved the day, and his cat Happy had ironically sniffed out the location of Lucy's belongings after the incident.
She stepped into the room and her heart skipped a beat, she wasn't sure why until she looked around and found a wide-eyed blue haired boy staring back at her with cool green eyes. There was a red marking on his right eye that seemed to add to his handsome face. His messy blue hair was as unruly as ever and he was wearing a black hoodie with dark jeans. Erza struggled to recover her composure before anyone noticed her staring at the bleu-nette. She felt his eyes follow her as she took a seat on the opposite side of the room and prayed for Master Makarov as he had come to be known by didn't assign her a seat near his.
To her right sat Mira-jane and behind her sat Laxus with a red ear, this caused her to smirk. It was a small room, the walls painted beige and spotted with posters featuring the world and the United States as well as Pennsylvania all over the room. She saw a newspaper article about the Fiore district of Magnolia, PA resuming its school year. She sat and conversed with Mira-jane about what schedule she had and found that she only had 4th period advanced Maths with her. She was mid sentence when the bell rang and they all stood and said the pledge as usual. Erza looked down at her schedule.
Advanced Science- Mrs. Bisca Connell
Language Arts- Miss Michelle Lobster
Computer Applications- Mr. Wakaba Mine
Advanced Maths- Mr. Alzack Connell
Chorus (day 1,3,5)- Miss
PE (day 2, 4)- Mr. Loke Lion
Communications- Miss Evergreen Glitter
Geography and Global Studies- Mr. Makarov Dreyer
Foreign Language~ French- Miss Oceane Jonah
Master Makarov ordered them to stand at the back of the room until called to be seated so Erza grabbed her binder and went to stand next to Lucy on the "girls side" of the mass of students. It really was odd how people separated by gender without being told to. Other than Natsu who was still following Lucy and chatting with her. Erza just chuckled and took her place to the right of the peppy blonde.
"-and then Happy fell into the river! Ahaha! Oh you should have seen i-" Natsu was telling Lucy, "...hi Erza... what class do you have first?"
"I've got advanced science with Miss Connell." she replied obviously amused at her pink haired friend's behavior.
"Oh! I do too!" Lucy said looking quite pleased.
"Oh, I don't..." Natsu said looking sad, "I've got advanced maths, I really have no idea how I got into advanced classes at all." Natsu said scratching the back of his head with a lopsided grin.
"Me neither!" Gray interjected, his fingers twitching over the buttons of his flannel button down shirt.
"Not here!" Erza slapped his hands to prevent him from stripping before the first school day had even began. She was wearing a school t-shirt with a school hoodie and dark skinny jeans. She wondered if the hoodie and jeans were a mistake though because despite the rain, it was beginning to heat up inside the school. Lucy had been smarter and worn a simple teal v-neck polo shirt with light breathable fabric and light colored jean shorts, on her feet she wore matching teal converse where Erza sported tan Ugg boots that went went up to the middle of her calves.
"Pff." the blue haired guy from before struggled to remain silent as he listened to their conversation. Erza noticed this and turned bright red as the teacher called for silence. Then sat the students in some odd order and Erza's heart stopped when she was called to sit, of all the places...
Natsu Dragneel Lucy Heartfillia Gray Fullbuster
Mira-jane Strauss Erza Scarlet Juvia Lockser
Cana Alberona Jellal Fernandes Levy McGarden
Vijeeter Ecor Fried Justine Gajeel Redfox
Kinana Cuberos Gemi Celeste Mini Celeste
Erza just wanted to keep her cool even though she felt his green eyes on her back. He looked good today, with a black shirt that showed off his well toned chest and old slightly tattered jeans on. Erza knew it would be a long school year. Then the bell rang. Salvation!
/Author Note/
I just love how inspired I feel all of a sudden, I've got so much to do with this AU I haven't even gotten past the first day of school, but this'll be a long one XD I'm going to write about a lot of high schoolish things, I was going to a small private school in Europe but now I'm going to a public American school so there's so much to do with that sort of setting! I hope you guys like it this is just chapter one and I don't know how many chapter's this is going to be but I'm going to write one with the same setting and situation but in a Natsu/Lucy perspective. The next chapter might be both Jellal and Erza POV! so I'm going to get working on that soon :P
