I decided to write another Fairy Tail story. This time, I figured I would make it a GraLu story, and create a slightly different story. Don't worry, no secret princes in this one ;).
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.
Lucy Heartfilia opened the doors of Fairy Tail Junior/Senior High School. She had attended this school all her life. Actually, in seventh grade her father's business reached its peak, so she had to move to a rich estate. Now, her tenth grade year, in the middle of January, Lucy is back!
Everyone she passed remembered her and said 'hello'. She was almost to her first class when she saw one of her childhood friends, Natsu.
"Natsu!" Lucy yelled. She jumped on his back before he could turn around. When he did, his eyes widened.
"Lucy!" he yelled with joy. She jumped off and he picked her up into a hug, spinning her around. "What class do you have right now?" Natsu stopped spinning her, but was still hugging her.
"Biology," Lucy said with a sigh.
"Me too! Hop on," Natsu said. He crouched down and Lucy jumped on his back. They laughed the whole way to their classroom.
"Lucy!" everyone yelled. They all ran over to her. Erza pulled Lucy off Natsu's back and squeezed her tight.
"Uh, Erza? I don't think she can breathe," Levy said.
"Sorry!" Erza let Lucy go. The blonde gasped for air.
"So anything happen will I was gone?" Lucy asked once she caught her breath.
"Well," Natsu started, "Levy is dating Gajeel and Erza is dating Jellal."
"You're kidding!" Lucy gasped. "I figured Erza and Jellal, but Levy and Gajeel? That is a shock!"
"What the hell are you saying!" Gajeel yelled.
Lucy realized all her friends were in this class. A few other kids were around her that weren't exactly friends, but they talked sometimes. One other person was in the room. He was sitting in the far back lab table. He was wearing a white wife-beater, black skinny jeans, a black hoodie, a cross necklace, and a chain on his pants. His hair was ink colored and his eyes were dark.
"Who's that?" Lucy asked. Everyone turned to see the boy sitting in the back, his legs resting on the table, texting someone.
"That's Gray Fullbuster," Natsu explained, hissing slightly, "He moved here at the beginning of last year. He's an ass."
"Alright everyone!" the teacher boomed as she walked inside the classroom. Everyone ran to their seats and Lucy walked up to the teacher. "Here is your textbook. You'll have to sit with Gray. He is the only person without a partner." Lucy nodded and went to her seat. Gray sighed, put his feet down, and looked the other way.
"I am under the impression that Lucy used to come to school here and now she is back?" the teacher asked. All the students agreed. "In that case, since we just finished a chapter, you may all have a free period." Cheers were heard throughout the classroom. The ones who weren't Lucy's good friends talked amongst themselves, and those that were gathered around Lucy.
"So why did you come back?" Levy asked.
"I sort of ran away," Lucy's voice trailed off. Her friends looked at her with disbelief. Gray looked toward her wondering what was going on. He hasn't even heard of her until today, so he was interested.
"Explain!" Erza ordered.
"Well, everything was so annoying! We had these servants that did everything for us. And when I say everything, I mean everything! I didn't even brush my own teeth! And I had to wear this fancy clothing. Not like homecoming dresses, but more like ball gowns. It was like we were royalty! Who knew owning railroads could be like that? Well my mom was a little tired of it too, so we moved back without Dad knowing. It's not like my parents are divorcing, though. You know, I doubt he even noticed us leave," Lucy explained.
"So Layla is back too! That's awesome!" Levy exclaimed. All her friends loved her mom, mostly because she treated them like her own kids.
"Where do you live at now?" Erza asked.
"The same house I used too. It turns out, we never sold the house. I guess if we have a lot of money, there's no need to."
"Well why don't you guys all go to another table, if you don't mind. I want to read my book," Lucy asked. They all agreed and went to a different area. Lucy happily got her book out and started reading. She read the whole class period.
None of the other teachers were so kind. Her whole biology class had Geometry second period, which was awful for Lucy. She would have a lot of work to catch up on. She had a study hall next. It wasn't all bad because she had her English teacher from seventh grade. They spent the whole class talking. Fourth period, Lucy had Spanish, which was pretty easy since she had to learn it at the estate. After that, she had lunch.
"Lucy, you remember Lisanna?" Mira asked as her an her sister came over to the table. Lucy nodded. Lisanna was a grade below her. They don't talk a lot, but they have before.
"Hey Lisanna!" Natsu greeted the white haired girl. She smiled and hugged Natsu. Lucy's stomach turned. She always liked Natsu, so she didn't like the idea of a girl hugging him.
"You guys seem like good friends," Lucy commented.
"They are. I think that started last year. Actually, they are just like you two used to be," Mira explained.
"I'm going to go dump my tray," Lucy awkwardly said. She stood up and walked away, Erza following.
"What's wrong?" the red-head asked. Lucy stopped walking and looked at her. Then it clicked. "I forgot you liked Natsu!"
"Shhh!" Lucy hissed. Erza laughed and dumped her food in the trash can. Lucy turned to throw hers away. She ran into something. She looked up and saw her spaghetti all over someone. A little farther up and she saw Gray's face.
"Thank you. I was running low on shirts with tomato stains," Gray sneered.
"I'm so sorry!" Lucy yelled. She thrust her tray towards Erza. Erza laughed and put the tray away.
"Will you move so I can go wipe clean this off?" Lucy nodded and stepped aside.
"I would close your mouth before flies get in," Erza whispered in Lucy's ear. She blushed and jumped. Erza laughed and walked back to the table. Lucy followed.
"What was that about?" Natsu asked once the two girls sat down.
"Lucy dumped her lunch on Gray!" Erza laughed. The whole table started laughing, including a few kids from other tables that heard or saw. No matter who you are, or how popular, it is always funny to have food dumped on someone.

"How was your day?" Layla asked her daughter. Lucy set her backpack on the counter and sat at one of the bar stools.
"Well.."
"What'd you do?" Layla put her knife down and sighed.
"Well this kid moved while we were gone. I may have dumped pasta in him..."
"Lucy!" Layla burst out laughing. She suddenly stopped. "Is he cute?"
"Mom!"
"I'm sorry. I forgot that you like Natsu." Someone knocked on the door. Layla walked out of the room and Lucy followed.
"I do not like Natsu!" Lucy yelled in defense. Layla swung the door open. A woman and a boy stood there.
"Hello?" Layla asked.
"Hello. My name is Ur and this is Lyon. We live next door. We just wanted to stop by and meet you," Ur said with a smile. Lyon waved.
"This is a surprise! You see, we used to live here. We actually moved out three years ago."
"We moved here about a year ago, so that explains it."
"Oh please come in! We would love it if you stay for dinner, too!"
"Oh, no-"
"Oh please! We insist!"
"Oh alright. Lyon, go figure out what your brother is doing." Lyon nodded and left. Layla smiled and let Ur in.
"This is my daughter, Lucy. I have to go finish dinner, so would you like to follow me to the kitchen?" The two mothers went to the kitchen. Lucy was gone within seconds.
Lucy flipped on the TV and sat on her couch. She heard Lyon and his brother come in, but she wasn't sure where they went. After a few minutes, Lucy fell asleep.

"Will you please go get my daughter?" Layla asked Gray. He nodded and went into the living room. He looked on the couch and saw the sleeping girl.
"What!" he gasped. Lucy lazily opened her eyes, which widened when she saw Gray standing in front of her. Gray stormed off into the kitchen. Lucy quickly followed.
"I am not eating with her!" Gray yelled. Lucy crossed her arms and looked away.
"Why?" Ur asked, very annoyed.
"She dumped food on me!"
"That was you? Oh he is cute!" Layla exclaimed.
"Mom!" Lucy yelled, blushing. The other four people laughed. "I'm skipping dinner," Lucy mumbled, stomping upstairs.
