CHAPTER 1: NEW

Juvia Lockser is a simple girl, a simple woman. She is contented with her life even though it's not the type of life which other people wanted to live with. She's not rich, to be exact, she's the opposite. She has been living with and only with her father since she was 6 years of age whose been working at a farm owed by the richest family in town, the Heartfilia. Her mother, whom she didn't even know the name, unexpectedly disappeared in their lives without telling them or even giving them hints. She just vanished like a bubble.

At the age of 13, she started to work as a dishwasher at the most popular café in town, the Enchanted Café. The café doesn't really hire children to do work but when the owner of the café saw her staring at the displayed sweets from the outside window, he thought that it would be great to offer the child the job in exchange for sweets every end of her shift. Up until now, she's been working their but not as a dishwasher but as a waitress. The owner had decided to give her salary but she declined the money and asked if he could just give her sweets every end of her shift just like before and greatfully, the owner agreed.

One early morning, as she was cleaning her home's aromatic small garden, a huge limousine stopped at the front of their small gate which made her startled. She remained standing at her current place, just letting her eyes follow the movements of what will happen next. A man in a chauffeur uniform got out from the main seat of the car and turned his shoes to the beack part of the car and opened the door. A woman whose like in her mid 40's got off from the car and when she saw Juvia, staring at her with an intent eyes, she offered a kind smile.

Juvia immediately went outside and bowed to the woman before her. "Uhm, hello miss? Can I help you?" Juvia asked politely but her voice made some sound of nervousness. The woman just chuckled and placed her hand on the air to show gentleness. Juvia stared her hand for a second before shaking her hand with it. "Nice to meet you Juvia, at last, I'm seeing you in person. I've been waiting for this time to happen." Before Juvia could respond, the sound of her father appeared. "Juvia! Is someone there?" Her father asked as he appeared in their front door. "What a wonderful surprise! This would be easier than I thought." Both Juvia and his father looked up to the woman with a surprising look. The three of them were silenced for a minute before the Juvia's father cleared his throat, "Why don't we talk about this inside?" the woman just answered with a nod, not letting go of the smiled that was formed on her mouth.

The three of them entered the house and proceeded to the living room. Juvia went to to the kitchen to get a drink for the visitor. The unknown woman looked at the surroundings and realized how old the house was before sitting down to the small couch.. "So? Is there anything you want?," Juvia's father asked as he sat in a small stool placed beside the couch that made the woman turned back to reality. "Well…" The woman started before she looked into her purse and got something out from it which is a small envelope and handed it to Juvia's father. "What's this?" The father asked while opening it. "See for yourself." Juvia's father started to read the message that was written in a neat piece of paper. After reading the note, he made a deep sigh before looking up with a soft smile on his face. "I'll let my daughter decide," the woman smiled and thought that there would be a chance to make them agree with it. "we'll be giving Juvia everything she needs for free if she'll accept the offer, Remember, this is an opportunity for her to give herself a more worth living future". "But she's not like the students there. She doesn't have any powers or any supernatural things in her." Her father calmly explained. "That's why I'm bothered why the principal asked me to do this. She don't belong there but the principal insisted that I should take her there. But since this is a very big opportunity, I advice you to not let it slide easily, you know, as a father, that this is a big chance for her to live in a very wonderful life." Juvia's father know that she's right, this is an opportunity that could make his daughter's life change. "I will accept it," both of them were startled to hear Juvia's voice behind them. There was a moment of silent once again and now, it's the woman's turn to clear her throat. "Very well then, that's final." The woman got up and bowed to both of them. "Juvia, a car will pick you up tomorrow morning. You should get ready and pack your things since you won't be living here for a while." Juvia was a bit hesistant before she realized that there were dorms for all the students in the academy so she has no choice but to nod. The women turned her heel and left the house, leaving Juvia and his father in deep thoughts.

"Why did you agree so easily?" Hours had passed since that unknown woman left and now, Juvia was sitting in the couch while reading a book. After hearing the sudden question, she looked up to see her father with tormented eyes. She closed the booka and sighed before answering. "Because I don't want you to trouble yourself because of me anymore. Look at you father, you're tired and stressed out. If this is an opportunity for me to help you, why not do it?" she exclaimed. "But you don't have any alices! You'll be in a big danger if they'll know that you don't have any powers!" Juvia smiled weakly before walking towards her father and hugged him tightly. "Don't worry about me." Her father knew that he could trust her so he hugged her back.

Morning came to the Lockser family, the chickens started to make their morning calls which made Juvia wake up from her deep slumber. 'It's a new day,' she thought. She sat up and started to prepare herself for the upcoming adventures that she'll face in her first day at Fairy Academy. She was nervous, yes, but she decided not to mind it because she knew that it will only make it hard for her to face the new faces. After she finished in dressing herself, she dragged herself to the kitchen only to find a letter which was written by his father.

"Juvia dear, a co-worker of me picked me up and I'm afraid there was an accident in the farm and I won't be able to see you off today. My deep apologize. Thank you for understanding. Remember that I love you and always will. Take care of yourself."

"I love you too," she murmured. She inhaled a deep breath before folding the letter back and placed it back in the counter. Right before she sit down in the table to start her breakfast, a loud honk was heard from the outside. She went to the window and saw that it was the car the unknown woman talked about that would pick her up. She grabbed her belongings before going out and left the house.

She stared into the massive gate that was standing before her, thinking that how could be a simple gate be possibly bigger than her house. "Ms. Lockser, we should go now, the student is going to tour you around the school is waiting for you inside." She was waken by her thoughts as the chauffeur called her. "Okay," she answered.

JUVIA'S POV

While walking towards the main academy's entrance which is still far from where I am, I started to looked at the surroundings and noticed how big the school's garden is. There is a very big fountain at the center with a fairy statue above it that could capture anyone's attention in a few seconds. I saw many kinds of plants that I haven't seen before in my entire childhood and ..

"Ms. Lockser, were here," again, I was woken up by my thoughts by that chauffeur. "Your tourist is waiting for you inside so you should get going now." I nodded before saying a small 'thank you' before entering the entrance. When I entered the place, I was met by a desserted surrounding. Well maybe not. There are some few students walking around, not caring about my whole existence. Instead of staring like a lost girl, I decided to look for my tourist but before I could start to walk, a hand grabbed my arm which shocked me. "Hey!" I shouted. "Calm down," the girl hushed me. "You're Juvia right? I'm you're tourist." Her face was full of charm and I could immediately tell that she's kind. "I'm Levi McGarden! Sorry for startling you like that." She apologized while scratching the back of her head. "I'm Juvia, Juvia Lockser," I smiled back. "So I'm right! Shall we start our tour now?"

Levi showed me the places I needed to recognize which I'm very thankful to. Our last stop was my dorm. When we arrived at the place, she ask my permission if she could leave already cause she has many things to do in the library. She told me that her magic is called Solid Script which I think is very interesting. Luckily, she didn't asked what's mine, maybe she knew about my true identity but I doubt it.

I looked around my dorm and noticed that my two dorm mates aren't here. 'Maybe they haven't arrived yet.' I thought. Instead of doing nothing, I decided to unpack my things and organize them well before the others come. There were three beds in the room and I decided to take the furthest one which is beside the balcony. As I finished organizing my things, I decided to walk around the academy to freshen me up.
