Chapter One
"Okay! That was Viva La Vida by Coldplay, hope you enjoyed it. I know I did." A man by the name of Ren announced on the radio. "Next up we have another broadcast of Celestia Speaking! You're on, Celestia!"
"Thanks, Ren! Now, before we start answering some calls, I'm gonna play Heels Over Head by Boys Like Girls,"I spoke into the microphone, my voice modifier doing its magic.
As the song played, I got started on my math homework. Though the song was short, I was able to finish it.
"Alright let's see who our first caller is today! And it's Beatiful_Freak34! Nice name, by the way. So, Beatiful_Freak34, what question would you like me to answer?" I spoke.
"Well, I like this guy, but we're from two different social groups." A feminine voice responded. "I was hoping you would be able to help me, Celestia."
I thought for a while before replying. "Well, if you want my opinion, I would tell the person I like how I feel about them straight up. It shows you have confidence and that seems to be just what you need."
"Thank you , Celestia! I think that'll work,"
"I wish you the best of luck, Beatiful_Freak34." I bid the caller farewell as I hung up. "Okay, now we're receiving a call from Demonic_Eyes. What'cha need Demonic_Eyes?"
"Hi, Celestia. Alright, so two of my friends like each other, but they're both too dense to realize it. How do I get them to open their eyes?" A different female voice asked.
"A matchmaker are we? Anyway, I think you should talk to the guy and help him arrange something romantic. Then persuade the girl into going with him, thinking it's just something he needs help with for school. From there, just wing it." I suggested.
"Got it. Thanks, Celestia!"
"I wish you the best of luck, Demonic_Eyes." I ended the call. "Alright that's just about all the time we have today, so before I sign off here is Bend or Break, by All-Star Weekend!"
Fiore High School, where labels speak for you. The Imperial Class is that group of popular kids. Then, there's the Celestial Class, which is composed of those kids that aren't popular or losers. And the Star class includes some freshmen students along with the rest of the nerds and geeks. Thing is, when I refused to comply with these groups, the leader of the Imperial Class put me on the spot and gave me my own little class, The Loner.
As I walked through the school gates in my school uniform, consisting of a gray pleaded skirt, a white short-sleeved dress shirt, along with a striped tie and a pale yellow sweater vest, with some beat up Keds, I heard my name being called out. I turned to the source and saw the group of people that made up the Imperial Class, the most popular group of students. Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster, Wendy Marvell, Mirajane and Lisanna Strauss, Loke Keyes, Cana Alberona and Gajeel Redfox stood in her presence.
"Well, if it isn't The Loner," a salmon haired Natsu began.
"Well, if it isn't the entire Imperial Class," I mimicked Natsu's greeting. "Fuck off, Dragneel." I continued with a bored expression on my face.
"And if I don't?" Natsu pushed.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Cana chanted in the background.
"I'm not about to fight someone for your entertainment." I spoke towards Cana. "Now, if you'll excuse me," I continued, turning to walk away.
"Wuss," Gajeel muttered, but I just kept walking.
While strolling through the halls, I could hear pretty much all the students talking about Celestia's most recent broadcast. I find it quite ridiculous how people could be so different and still show so much adoration for one person that they know practically nothing about. Maybe I could talk about that for my next broadcast...
"Lucy!" I heard a voice squeak and looked to see my closest friend, from the Celestial Class, Levy McGarden.
"Hey Lev," I greeted the short blue haired girl.
"Did you listen to last night's Celestia Speaking?" She squealed.
"It was great!" I smiled as we walked to class. "You talked to her?"
Levy nodded, "I asked her what I should do about you-know-who and she replied by encouraging me to build up my confidence and tell him directly. Though, I'm not exactly sure when I should tell him."
As we sat at the desk we shared, I remembered what I had said as Celestia. "Why don't you tell him today after school, before football practice." She suggested.
Just as Levy was about to say something, the bell rang.
"Alright, everyone, I hope you studied because your Chapter Twelve test is today." Our teacher began, causing the students to groan and whine.
"Do you think we aced that test in third?" Levy asked at lunch. She was sitting at a table with Erza, Laki, Juvia, and Kinana. Th.
"Levy, relax. You shouldn't be worrying about grades. You're incredibly smart, so just lay back and wait, I'm positive that you aced that test." Erza reassured her blue haired friend.
"Hey, guys!" I greeted as they turned to see me holding a white envelope. "Sorry I'm late. Mr. Sergeant kept me in to talk to me about something and then gave me my report card."
"And what was the something he needed to talk to you about?" Juvia asked. "What did our troublemaker do this time?"
I scoffed, "Well, your little trouble maker got an A+ on her test. She was then accused of cheating and is to report to Mr. Sergeant's classroom Friday after school and wash his car."
"Do you think you'll be able to listen to Celestia Speaking that day?" Laki joined the conversation.
"I'll figure something out." I answered acting as nonchalantly as I could. I can't believe I forgot about my four-thirty broadcast today. What am I going to do?
"Anyway! The Sadie Hawkins Dance is next Friday," Kinana began. "Do you guys know who you're gonna ask?"
"Hey, I'm pretty sure I owe Ms. Johnson detention right now." I started to stand, "So, if you'll excuse me-"
Levy cut me off,"Oh no you don't!" She and Erza each grabbed one of my arms and pulled me back down. "Since you were late, you'll have to endure this conversation!"
"But-" I was cut off.
"No buts!" Juvia exclaimed, for once not talking her affection towards Gray.
"Kill me, why don't you?" I said.
"Then who'll be around to annoy the teachers?" Laki remarked.
"What the hell is with you and your remarks?!" I shouted toward Laki.
"Language, Lucy!" Erza warned.
"Sorry, Prez." I apologized. I was thinking of running away to the rooftop and ditching this conversation, along with fifth period, but Levy had a pretty firm grip on my arm.
"So, the dance..." Kinana trailed off, making Levy go off about dresses and dates and other insignificant crap, at least that's what I thought.
I was walking towards the station for my daily broadcast, when I remembered what day it was.
Thursday...
Today is Thursday, which means I have to wash Sergeant's car tomorrow after school. And I still have no idea what I'm going to do about my daily four-thirty broadcast. Maybe Ren could help...
"That's it! I'm calling Ren." I concluded as I grabbed my phone from my bag and dialed his number.
"Shibsaki speaking," Ren answered.
"Hey, it's Ashley." I spoke as I continued to walk to my destination.
"Hey, LA, what's up?"
"I need help. I need to wash one of my teacher's cars after school tomorrow, like right after school. In the parking lot. And I have the feeling that he'll make up some bullshit excuses to keep me from enjoying my Friday afternoon." I explained my issue to my good broccoli-hating friend.
"Uh, when do you get out of school?" He asked.
"3:20, I think." I replied.
"Alright, okay. I want you wash the car, but before you do, text me your school's address. I'll pick you up at, like, 4:00, or something, and bring you to the station so you can do your broadcast. But you'll owe me." Mr. I-Hate-Broccoli said.
"Fine, Broccoli Hater. Name it." I agreed with his solution.
"I can't think of something funny right now. I'll tell you tomorrow." I rolled my eyes while turning a corner, the station now in sight. "Now, it is 4:25. Where the hell are you?"
"Relax, Shibasaki. I'm walking to Celestia's den right now." I said as I opened the door to my "office", only to meet with, the one and only, Ren Shibasaki.
"Hey, I gotta go. There's a douche-nugget in my den." I hung up the call as I stepped inside and closed the door.
"Do want my help or not, Lucy?" Ren said.
"Yes, I want your help. Sorry." I got comfortable in my chair and set up my equipment.
I turned to Ren, "Well, are you gonna introduce me or not."
He sighed and scurried to do his job. "On air in five, four, three, two, one!"
"Hey, everybody! Ren here, and it is now 4:30 in the afternoon. You know what that means. In the name of SoundStop FM, I present to you Celestia Speaking!"
"Hi, guys! Now, I know you're just itchin' to ask me your question, but before any of that this next song goes out to all the guys who go to Fiore High School. I can tell the majority of are freaking about who you think will ask you to the Sadie Hawkins. Anyway, this is Sadie Hawkins Dance, by Relient K." I said as the music played, streaming through the radio of whoever was listening to this broadcast.
