JLeoxx: I'm bringing back Step by Step guys. Some of you may know this story before under my previous pen name: JennishaTjung. Well, I'm bringing it back. Those of you, who have ever read it, tell me in the review. I really want to know how many of you are actually still there.

A gush of air blew through the window in the classroom. It was a brand new day and not to mention just the second day back to school in Fairy Tail Academy. Everyone was excited, unlike any other school in Magnolia, Fairy Tail Academy was a fun school, in spite of the subjects that pressured the students, there were club activities to redeem for it. But of course, this was not the only reason... So what is?

Yes, Fairy Tail Academy has a rank of the most popular and wanted boyfriends and needless to say, they were handsome. Each of them has their own individual personalities that differentiate them from each other. Besides that, they were smart and would always gain top 5 in the school board. This was what made Fairy Tail Academy interesting to other's eyes. The girls were especially looking forward to meeting them again since they couldn't during the school break. Not exactly all the girls, well at least not a certain blonde, Lucy Heartfilia.

"Ughh," the blonde groaned as she banged her head repeatedly against her desk. She was suffering from a massive headache. The start of school was always tough on her, since she got so used to sleeping late during the holidays, sometimes not sleeping at all, it was hard for her to sleep the night before and this was proven by the dark circles under her eyes.

"Lu-chan!" her best friend, a bookworm, Levy McGarden called out to her as she entered the classroom with a huge smile on her face. Why you asked? Well it's because they were placed in the same classroom for once, which was a very rare opportunity considering that the classes were always shuffled every year.

The blonde also known as Lucy slowly lifted her head and mustered a smile, "Hi Levy-chan," She looked around the empty classroom once again and realized that they were the only two people there before she asked, "So who else are in the same class with us?"

"You didn't see the notice board?" Levy asked in confusion as her spirit suddenly lifted up when she seemed to remember something she had forgotten. "Lu-chan!" she exclaimed, "Did you know that the 'populars' are in our class? And I mean all of them," she said in excitement.

Hearing this statement, the blonde went back to banging her head against the table and groaned, "Then this class will definitely be full of loud noisy and annoying fangirls…" she said in disappointment. "Why… Kamisama, why do you have to do this to me," she looked up and whined.

As if on cue, the silence was suddenly replaced by footsteps and squeals of fan girls, lots of them. Entering her classroom, were five guys. The one on the very left was a blue-haired guy with a tattoo below his eyes, Jellal Fernandes. He was ranked as the fifth most popular in the magazine last year. He, unlike some of the others were not actually not all talks. He's quite a gentleman compared to the others and he was more calm and cool. Beside him stood none other than a tall blonde and muscular guy, Laxus Dreyar who was into body-building and always and literally always wear headphones.

Laxus Dreyar was scary in Lucy's opinion, she wondered how the fangirls weren't scared of him at all. On the very right stood the school's biggest player, Loke who had different girlfriends every single day and yet despite how he always broke their hearts, he still has a lot of girls waiting to be his girlfriend on his pending list. Beside him stood Gajeel, who had piercing everywhere, including his face. He was, in Lucy's opinion, cruel and sadistic. She had once witnessed him choking a junior male student and since then, just really didn't want to do anything with him.

Lastly, the leader of the group and the number one among the popular, Gray Fullbuster, who was really nothing but a jerk in Lucy's eyes. All of them had one thing in common, they abused their powers. Ordering their fangirls to do errands for them, even some time their detention work like moping the class floor when they got into troubles but worst out of all was Gray and yet he still was chosen three times in a row, the number one most popular.

Yep, Lucy could see her school year not turning fun at all with all the five jerks in her class. This was the worst, she really wished she was not in a class with them and her prayer had been granted last year but just not this year.

The five guys sat at the corner of the class, thankfully far from Lucy. She eyed the five of them as they were still surrounded by the fangirls screaming and asking them who they planned to be with during lunch, hoping that they will be the lucky one.

Turning to Levy, Lucy cried out as she frantically shook the bluenette's arm, "Please Levy-chan, tell me that I'm dreaming and I'm not placed in this class." She said in desperation.

Her friend sighed and patted her shoulder, "You know, most girls are usually excited. Hmm…There is something that might lighten up your mood," the girl said thoughtfully, "Erza and Mira are also in this class."

"Really?" the blonde stood up in excitement, "This year might not be so bad afterall," she said giving a second thought when she was called out from the other side of the room.

"Oii, you there!"

She flinched and looked at the source of the voice, forcing a smile on her face, "Yes?" she tried asking as politely as she could and realized she was called by none other than Gray Fullbuster.

"Can you book our seats in the Cafeteria for lunch?" he asked as he looked at her with no interest. The fangirls around him squealed saying that he looked cool with that expression of his and whatsoever. "Uh-oh," the blonde heard her friend mutter as she knew what was going to happen. "Don't do this Lu-chan," she whispered in warning.

Yes, disagreeing to what the populars wanted was a big risk. If you were a boy, then they might bully you and if you were a girl then they would make all the girls in your class hate you but knowing Lucy, her best friend knew that the blonde's hatred for them was huge and she would rather get hated by the girls in her class than doing the wishes of the populars.

"Oh? You mean you and your friends over there?" she said sarcastically as she pointed over to the five of them. Gray nodded in response. 'This is not good' Levy thought to herself.

"Hmm… of course I'll do it, Gray-sama" the blonde chirped in a very unusual high pitched voice. 'this is definitely not good.' Levy thought as her hand started to sweat, fearing for what was about to come. She noticed that Gray already had a smirk on his face as he watched Lucy turning to walk out of the class before she stopped and glared at the man.

"Hah?! Did you really think I would say that?" she declared gaining the attention of not only Gray and his fangirls but also the other four populars. "Oh hell no," she continued, "Go do it yourself, you lazy ass bastard."

Gray stood up from his place as Levy gasped in fear. He walked from his place and went to the blonde. He gave Levy a glance before turning to the blonde, "What's your name?" he asked.

"Why?" she challenged him as her glare intensified.

"Her name is Lucy," Levy squeaked, fearing that if her best friend angered Gray further then Lucy might really get into a situation worse than she was already in.

Gray smirked and used his index finger, lifting the blonde's chin as he leaned closer, "Lucy," he said in a low husky voice as he whispered beside her ear, "Do what I want and I'll go on a date with you." He expected her to give in to him and do as he wished before she slapped away his hand, "Don't touch me," she said, her eyes never leaving his. "Let's go Levy-chan," she said and dragged her best friend out of the class.

"Well well well," his friends came up to him and Gajeel placed a hand on his shoulder mockingly, "Looks like the charming Gray Fullbuster just got himself rejected."

He shrugged his shoulder and with a smirk he declared, "Not for long. I will make her fall for me." He licked his lips and smiled deviously as one of their fangirls spoke among the crowd, "But that's impossible, Lucy Heartfilia hates all of you,"

"Hmm..That sounds like a challenge for all of us, don't you think so?" the orange haired playboy commented as he wrapped his arms around his current girlfriend.

With this statement, not only Gray but all five of them smirked. Laxus, taking off his headphones, said in amusement, "Well then... I guess we have a competition don't we?"

JLeoxx: How was it? I hope it wasn't too bad… Please drop a review, thank you~
