Hey, Dark Gothic Lolita here!

Yep, that's right I have made a new Navia again! Yeah, I know that I still have one in process and I'll get unto that, but my mother, darling mother (I don't really talk this snotty. Just trying to be a stereotypical British girl. When I'm black...) rebooted our computer, deleting everything on it. Now I have to start everything all over again. *sigh*

There will be some words here that will be different, like Homeroom. We don't call it that, we call it form room. Just figure it out I guess!

Sorry for my poor attempt at spelling and grammar, but I don't care enough. I don't own Fairy Tail otherwise Juvia wouldn't be in love with Gray, but with Natsu!

Enjoy!

Fairy Tales are so overrated

Chapter 1

Fairy Tail High. What a dumb name for a school. And here I was thinking that there couldn't be a worse name than Phantom Lord high. At least it's not as bad as that gay guild called Blue Pegasus High. Seriously though, what is up with that? There must be something wrong with all the people living around this whole area. I mean, it sounds like a wonderland! Oh wait, there was already a school called that wasn't there...?

First off, I'll say this once. My name is Juvia Loxar and I have just recently moved schools. Thank GOD I did! I swear, that Head teacher (A/N: Or Principal. I'm British) Jose is a mad man. Unluckily, it was only me and my friend *cough* sorry, acquaintance Gajeel who actually noticed. Oh well, it sucks to be the rest of them.

Going on, I will not lie, but I am painfully shy. Some might see this as an emo act, but really I'm just shy. I like the colour blue and my favourite weather is rainy weather. I'm hated wherever I go. Now only this time, I'm going to be hated so much because Phantom and Fairy are like sworn enemies. Oh joy. Gajeel is sooooo going to start a fight here!

Yeah, so now I have to go and meet my new form room class!(A/N: Homeroom. Again, I'm British) Time to just sit down and get hated all over again. Oh well...

Normal POV

Juvia and Gajeel stood at the front of the class. One of them was scanning the classroom with an air of violence while the other of them was busy staring down at the floor wishing it would swallow them up. The whole class was glaring at them. A pink haired boy stood up and pointed an accusing finger at the teacher. "What the FUCK are they doing at our school? I'm going to let that old man Makarov hear about this-with my FIST!" Everyone seemed to nod in agreement and even the teacher smirked a little bit. Juvia didn't like this at ALL.

Gajeel then stepped in. Juvia rolled her eyes at her friend. "Gajeel," she hissed gently, knowing that he could hear her. He seemed to have some amazing ability to hear and smell things better than the average human. She had grown used to it of course, but that just meant more fights when someone whispered something bad about him. Instead, he pretended not to hear the blue haired female and head for the pink haired guy.

His red eyes stared him down and surprisingly, the guy didn't back down, even with such height towering over him. Gajeel let out a big grin which shocked everyone. "You got guts kid, but can you fight?" The shorter boy stared at his red eyes and all the piercings all over him. Yep, he must have been a rough type of person. Just the sort of match he would need. He gave him an equally big grin. "Of course I can you tin of metal. Can you handle the heat?" They both glared at each other. After a few seconds, Gajeel spoke up. "Gajeel Redfox, moved from the shitty school called Phantom. You got a problem with me, then we start swinging instead of talking."

Everyone groaned. Not another fighter! "Humph, Natsu Dragneel, best fighter here. I would take you offer." That's when Juvia then felt the stares on her. Since Gajeel had introduced himself, she had to the same. Gajeel rolled his eyes. "That's Juvia Loxar and she's stupidly shy." She gave him a weary look and looked back to the teacher. "Where do we sit?" She watched as the man glanced around the room then pointed. "Gajeel, you'll sit next to Levy, the other blue haired female in this class. Juvia, you can sit next to Natsu."

Juvia made her way next to the boy called Natsu who had finally sat down. She twiddled with her fingers, trying to make sure that they didn't make eye contact. When she finally did look up, she caught him staring at her. She turned her head away and sat down never looking at him again.

~x~

Lunch could have never been better for Juvia. It was a time that she had a full hour to herself and she could hide off from the world before she went back to her final period. She had managed to corner Gajeel about something though. "Hey Gajeel?" The delinquent look a like grunted telling her that she had his undivided attention. "Didn't you say that you had an uncle called Igneel?" His red eyes scanned her and slowly nodded. "What of it?" Juvia wanted to face palm. "Wasn't his surname Dragneelthe same as Natsu's?" Gajeel blinked at her. He blinked twice more. In the end he made a grand total of 321 blinks before declaring, "Oh SHIT!"

Juvia had laughed at him as soon as he had to go and find Natsu to tell him that they were cousins. Seriously though, how could you not know what you're cousin looks like? Juvia had seen his uncle plenty of times before, but that was only to do something for Gajeel so she had never seen Natsu before. Now that she thinks about it, Igneel did have red hair.

Suddenly, she looked about her and cursed herself inwardly. She was lost. Fairy Tail was a big school with a better building. Phantom was so rubbish that you could even hear a toilet flushing when you were on the other side of the school. She had only tried to lose her way to get away from the glares that she had received by the other people. Everyone had a little bit of respect for Gajeel, but not her. "And let the fun begin."

She rounded the next corner and she flew into something hard that made her crash to the floor. Well, that's where she would have been if it wasn't for the hand that pulled her up. Her eyes met dark eyes and the boy seemed to have navy blue hair that looked more black than blue. He then ended up glared at her and she flinched away. "You're that new girl in form from Phantom aren't you?" Juvia pulled her arm away and nodded slowly. The boy glared even harder and walked on in the direction he was heading.

Juvia felt scared and intimidated by him and knew that he was going to make her life a living hell. Maybe not seeing as he had just ignored her. Trying her best not to create some tears, Juvia kept on walking. That was when she saw a tuft of pink hair in her vision. Natsu was coming. Juvia sighed and made sure that there were no tears in her eyes. Natsu walked right to her and she paused cautiously.

"Was that Gray you were just speaking to?" Juvia just blinked in confusion. "Is that his name?" It was very soft and quiet, but he still heard her. "Yeah, it is. He's one of the biggest jerks in our school, always thinking that he can get away with stuff. The guy pisses me off. He didn't do anything to you did he?" Juvia was surprised that he actually cared for her safety. "Err, yeah I-I guess not." He smiled at her and nodded. "Okay then, well if you've lost way, just tell me okay?" Juvia looked on in shock and watched as he burst out laughing. " I had a detention and saw you walk by here at least three times."

Juvia turned tomato red and looked away. "Yes, I am lost. Do you know where I could eat?" Juvia wanted to kill herself because of sheer embarrassment. Natsu nodded. "Yeah, sure. I need to eat too." He walked away from her which was a signal for her to follow. Juvia walked a little bit behind him scared that something might happen. They walked in silence for a bit before Natsu's voice scared the living shit out of her. "You can talk you know. I won't bite." He gave her a smile that seemed to reveal his canines being longer than normal. Gajeel had the same thing. Must run in the family.

"Err, okay then." She started twiddling with her fingers. "So... Do you know that you and Gajeel are cousins?" The taller one of the two stopped abruptly and Juvia smashed right into him. He turned to her slowly with a face of horror. "What?" Juvia let out a little smile and stared at the floor. "Well, you're dad must be Igneel Dragneel right? That's Gajeel's uncle and I've met him a few times, but we've never seen you before. You look a little like him, only he has red hair." That was the most Juvia had ever said to someone who wasn't Gajeel or her parents.

Natsu's face was the funniest thing that she had ever seen that she giggled softly. It was her giggle that brought Natsu out of his shock. "Wait, so that means that my he's my Uncle Metalicana's son? I wonder why we've never met before." They then got to the lunch room and just about managed to grab the last of the good food. Well even the bad food in Juvia's eyes was good. Phantom dinner's had been shit that people used to try and pay passing by people to buy them their food. None of those people stole the money for themselves though. They knew that phantom children would hunt them down for stealing their money so they tried to buy their lunch for them..

Juvia paid her for her food and was walking behind Natsu until she heard all of his friends calling him. She looked at the table that consisted of most people from her form room. There was the blond and busty girl, a red haired girl with stern eyes, a blue haired boy with a tattoo down the side of his face, an orange haired boy with weird purple glasses, Levy who was sitting next Gajeel and that was more or less it. Natsu waved to the blond girl. "Hey Lucy!" The girl nodded and stared at Juvia. The said girl felt like shrinking and turned on her heels to walk out the way they came desperate to find the library. Well, that was until Natsu grabbed her hand and looked at her with a puzzled look.

"Hey, why don't you come and sit with us?" Juvia froze up and looked away. "Err, I kinda need to go to the library. Sorry, another time okay?" He slowly released her with a small frown upon his face and watched as she almost ran out of there. She couldn't face anyone. She was a freak no matter what school she went to.

~x~

Juvia was sitting alone, just how she liked it. Their school library was huge! She wasn't even sure if Phantom had one... Going through the books one at a time, she saw one that peaked her interest. It was a story book that was similar to hers when she was younger. Her mother had read it to her every night before the book was lost when they moved house. Juvia's mother had tried to look for the book but it was so exclusive that no more shops had them. It was a fairy tale book (Oh the irony) about all the different Princesses and Princes and peasants all that.

Looking at her watch, she noted that she only had ten minutes of her time left before going back for another form room session and then her last lesson. The story that had always been her favourite was Cinderella. As corny as it sounds, it was quite heart breaking to her when she was younger and she always cried about how mean her stepsisters were. She didn't care whether Snow White had practically died and was brought back to life by a kiss. Cinderella was her favourite one.

Juvia got through the story and then sat there while eating her lunch. She sighed as she sat back in her seat. Why couldn't her life be like that sort of thing? Why couldn't she find someone to love her or at least be a friend with? Gajeel only spoke to her when he had a plan to get him expelled, but for some strange reason, Jose kept him in the school. She was also the only other person who seemed normal in the school to Gajeel. Why couldn't she have a friend that was there because of who she is? The blue haired girl stared down at the book in front of her and hated it for the first time in her life. "Oh yeah, Fairy Tales are so overrated."

Line Break

She was ten minutes late to her last class. She opened the door once she got to the correct classroom and again, all stares were on her. She had just about remembered the way to her form room, but her History lesson was all the way on the other side of the school. Somewhere. Her teacher just raised an eyebrow. "Ah, you must be the new student in my class. Take a seat where there is a spare seat." The woman turned back round and Juvia kept looking at the floor. She then looked up and noticed that the only free seat left was right...next to...Gray.

Alarm bells went off in Juvia's head and Gray seemed to realise that the only spare seat was next to him, so he glared at her. Taking Natsu's warning, she broke eye contact and shuffled over to the seat with her head down. His gaze was intensifying as though he was purposely trying to burn holes through the back of her head. There was no one from her form but Gray, so there was no one that she knew.

"Okay listen up! You will begin with projects and you shall be working in partners with the person you sit next to." She paused and waited for all of the groans to die down. "That is unless you have someone else in mind." She paused again as she waited for the whispering and the planning's to go on. Juvia gulped. Would she be stuck with Gray? Out of the corner of her eye, she could see that he had leaned back in his chair and was in fact asleep. She rolled her eyes. "There goes my partner."

The teacher seemed to spot Gray sleeping and flung a piece of chalk right into his forehead. He woke up with a start. "What the fuu-" His sensei was standing at the front of the class, hands on hips with her foot tapping against the floor. "Gray Fullbuster, who many times have I told you about sleeping in my classes?" The boy sighed and yawned which irked her off even more. "About 1000." She nodded. "The next time you sleep, that will be you doing your homework yourself with no partner." Normally, that wouldn't have been a problem for anyone, but because Gray was more of a straight E student, he needed all the help he could get. Cursing silently,

he nodded his head.

"Good, now that that's sorted, let's discuss about what you can actually do your projects are based on.

~x~

The teacher had finished talking and left them to start a little bit before starting to take it home. The two of them did no talking, one of them glared and the other was scared. Desperate to get rid of the awkwardness, Juvia came flat out blunt in what she asked (Gajeel was rubbing off on her) "Gray, why do you hate me?" Jumping slightly at the sound of her voice, he narrowed his eyes at her. "You told me that you're from Phantom. All of you bitches beat up my girlfriend that she had to leave the area. She goes to a boarding school now because of the constant bitching from your school. I hate any girls from Phantom because I know that you all joined in."

Juvia shook her head. "I don't know what you're talking about. People used to bully me, boys and girls. Who was your girlfriend? Did she come here or to Phantom?" Gray scowled at her and turned away to look at something else. No way was he going to talk to her. He heard Juvia sigh and turn round to face the work. Peering over his shoulder to look at her, he saw that she was right. She looked weedy and too shy to do anything. "Her name was Meredy." The pencil dropped out of Juvia's hand and she froze up.

Gray frowned at her reaction. "You know her." It wasn't a question and it wasn't a statement. It was a fact. Juvia nodded. "Err, yes, Meredy is my adoptive sister. We just don't share the same surname because her parents died and she thought it was best to keep it." Gray stared at her for a while before turning back to his cold self. "Get on with the fucking work then."

~x~

Her day had been so tiring and annoying. Gray had piled up all of the history work on her plus he went out with her adoptive sister. "I thought she said he was sensitive and sweet? Meredy was always a bit...Like him." She sighed as she passed through the gates and didn't fail to notice the same group of Natsu's friends, plus Gajeel standing towards her left. The way that she needed in order to get home. This time, Natsu was also with them laughing loudly. Juvia couldn't help but let a little smile pass her lips as she thought of the only person who had talked to her without being rude. Fairy Tail High (FTH) was so much more better than Phantom Lord High (PLH) and it was only her first day. She needed to thank her parents for removing her.

She tried to edge past the group when Natsu suddenly noticed her and beamed at her. "Hey, Juvia! Why don't you come and hang out with us for a while?" She cursed softly that he had seen her. When she turned round, the group had stopped talking and was staring at Juvia. Her eyes slid to the tall red eyed guy who rolled his eyes and looked away. Juvia felt hurt by Gajeel's actions and knew that there was no point.

She tried to give Natsu a smile. "Err, I'm sorry but I can't. I have things to do..." Just then, she was pulled on the arm and she saw Natsu glaring. "Gray, what the fuck do you think you're doing?" Juvia's eyes widened as she looked up and saw her history partner. She could tell that he wasn't there to help her on it at the very least. Gray stared at Natsu with frustration. "Juvia has information that I want. Not that it concerns you, flame head." Natsu growled in anger and Lucy tried to calm him down. Her chocolate eyes stared Gray down. "Gray, you can't terrorize every girl from Phantom."

Without another word, Gray pulled Juvia just as she tried to get out of his hold. His grip was strong, but not stronger than Gajeel's iron grip and Gray's hands were cold. "G-Gray, I would a-appreciate it if you l-let go of my arm." Just great. On the first day she was already going to get beaten up. Maybe staying at Phantom was a better idea. The older boy didn't seem to hear her and carried on walking until they finally showed up in front of a house. He then suddenly let go her arm and fumbled around in his pockets for his keys. Juvia took this moment to slowly move backwards, and at the last minute she turned round and broke into a run.

Gray heard her running and swore loudly when he saw her bolt down the street. "Fucking come back here!" Hearing his voice getting closer to her, Juvia made her legs move faster and made sure that she didn't look back. Somehow, he still managed to catch up with her and grabbed her arm even harder this time. Juvia bit down on the inside of cheeks to stop herself from screaming in anger. This time, Gray held her arm until they got inside the house.

A woman with short hair and a warm smile came walking from what seemed to be the kitchen. "Hello Gray. I see you've brought a friend. Have you finally moved on then?" Gray shot her a dark look and the woman sighed. "Okay, okay I get it. Would you like anything for your companion then?" Gray shook his head and dragged Juvia up the stairs. "No mum, we'll be fine. It won't even be staying long anyway." Juvia looked down and tried not to cry at the insult.

Juvia looked at Gray's mum with a shy smile. "My name is Juvia by the way." His mum smiled as she watched Gray drag her roughly up the stairs. "My name is Ur. Gray, that is not how you treat a lady!" The said son stiffened and let go of Juvia's arm. His mum went from nice to scary just like that. "Yes mum!" Quickening his pace, he made it to the top of the stairs with Juvia not too far behind. A girl who looked like she was three years older than them came out of her room. Gray weaved around her and tried to get Juvia to follow, but didn't. The older girl gave Gray a look then turned to Juvia. "Hmm, are you brother's new girlfriend or something? Wow, you got over Meredy quickly."

Gray clenched a fist as Juvia stepped back to see if the siblings would fight. "Err, I'm not his girlfriend. Meredy is just my adoptive sister." The girl's head turned back to her and Juvia could straightaway tell that they were siblings. "Hmm, okay then. My name is Ultear. Nice to meet you. Well, I'm going out now. Don't wait up Gray." She walked down the stairs and Gray gave her the finger behind her back. Without turning round, Ultear spoke up. "I'll get you for that later squirt." Rolling his eyes, he walked into his room not even waiting for Juvia to follow. Before he could slam the door shut, Juvia quickly walked through, fearing for her life.

She watched as he sat lay down on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He hadn't even let her sit down, and she wasn't going to get him mad by sitting down on his chair. After some time, he finally spoke up. "So, where did Meredy go then?" Juvia stopped fiddling with her shirt and looked up at him only to find he wasn't looking at her. "What a jerk." "Meredy went to boarding school, a school that she had wanted to go to for years." Gray then sat up and frowned. "What are you talking about? Meredy didn't want to..." His eyes widened when he remembered that Meredy had a dream job and there was only one school that could provide her good entry.

Juvia then nodded and sighed in relief as he finally understood. She then frowned at something that Gray had said. "You said that she was beaten up. It was by people from my school?" Gray looked up at her and nodded. "She said it was something to do with guys taking a shining to her and the girls got jealous. Then there was another reason..." Gray didn't know the other reason, but Juvia had an idea. She sighed aloud. "Because Meredy is my sister, they were trying to get to me by attacking my sister. How did I not know...?"

Juvia could almost feel the rain clouds forming outside. They did say that it was going to rain today and she hadn't brought her umbrella. An umbrella that Meredy bought for her. Gray shook his head. "No matter, Ultear beat up most of the girls anyway. You're not a good sister are you?" Juvia looked up at his face to see a smirk cross his features. "Uh, I don't know... I'm going now." He didn't even try to stop her which Juvia was grateful for. She met Ur on the way and gave her a bow. "Thank you Ur-san!" Ur waved her hand. "No, thank you Juvia!" She let herself out and that was when she saw Natsu talking a silver haired boy at their gate. Upon hearing the door open, they both looked to see who would be leaving the house. Natsu smiled when he saw Juvia and the older boy nudged him with a smirk.

"You must be Juvia. I'm Lyon, Gray's older brother and the older twin to Ultear, my sister." Juvia gave him a shocked look. How much more were there?" She saw him walk up to her with a smile. "Hmm, you are pretty I guess." Juvia's face flushed and Lyon laughed entering the house. All the Fullbuster's were different. Gray was cold, Ultear seemed violent and Lyon had a sense of humour. What a family.

As she walked towards the gate, she couldn't help but want to know why Natsu was there. She looked at him carefully. "Err, Natsu? No offence when I say this, but why are you here?" The boy shrugged and grinned at her. "I just wanted to make sure that Gray doesn't hurt you. The way he was dragging you, anyone would think that he was going to kill you." Juvia finally stood next to him and looked up into his dark eyes. She blushed when she realised that he was looking directly down at her too. "Well, I-I am fine I guess. Err, thanks." She tried not to look at him and Natsu laughed and threw an arm around her shoulders and guided her away from the house. "What are friends for?"

Juvia froze. "I-I'm your friend?" Juvia was touched. The only friend she had ever had was Gajeel and even then, he still saw them as acquaintances and not friends. Natsu looked down at her with his canines longer than any other teeth. "Yeah, why not? I guess I should be sorry about this morning, pointing and swearing. You guys aren't bad. I can't really hate my cousin anyway. Dad will kill me." Juvia felt him shudder and she was wondering why he was touching her. Still, he felt quite warm.

"So, do you still want to come and hang out with us?" Juvia shook her head feeling more confident. "It's going to rain soon and I have no umbrella. Plus, I have a history project that I need to get started on." She watched as Natsu pouted and nodded. "Yeah, okay then I guess. Well, I gotta get going. See you tomorrow!" He unlatched his arm away from her and she found herself missing his warmth. "Yeah, bye!"

She sighed as she watched him saunter away from her. Her first friend. It felt good. The rain started to pour and she quickly sped off home, but still relished her time in the rain thinking about a certain pink haired guy.

So how do you think it went? Good enough for you guys? I hope so! I guess that after reading this chapter you would be wondering if Gray will be a love interest. I will say this now. NO! HE IS NOT A LOVE INTEREST SO GET THAT INTO YOUR HEADS! IT'S ALL NAVIA HERE!

Please don't forget to rate or hate, flames or floods! Just leave a review at the very least!
