Chapter 1

A/N: Hi all! This is my first time making a fanfiction, and I hope I don't screw anything up. (*-*;;) Anyways, this was inspired by my friends, because we had a get-together this weekend, and watching them screw around made me think back to our old years… I tried my best to match up the characters with my friends' personalities. I may or may not have mixed them around though.

DISCLAIMER- as much as I wish I owned Fairy Tail, I don't.

Oh, the characters are in seventh grade, not sixth.

Shoot, shoot, shoot. Lucy had completely forgotten that there was a project due tomorrow, and she really didn't want to work on it.

It was lunchtime, and she was sitting with her usual friends: Levy, Mirajane, and Erza. Lucy groaned. "What's with you? Get your lazy mouth to work and tell me before I taser you." Mirajane demanded.

Lucy shivered. She hated being tasered, it was common knowledge and so everyone used it against her. "It's that group project for Chinese class, you know? The one where we're supposed to bring in homemade Asian food? Have any of you even started?" She complained.

There were a chorus of 'no's, and she groaned. She had guessed as much. Levy sat on the side and silently observed, for she had a different class than the other three did.

Erza suggested that they could all go to her house after school because fuck this shit let's just try our best not to fail. Lucy agreed, even if it meant dragging her lazy butt halfway across campus in order to get to Erza's mother's car.

In fifth period Language Arts, she plopped down in her seat next to Natsu, one of the fastest runners in school. They weren't exactly friends, but they did some things in class together because Lucy had no one to partner with and that had to count for something. She sat down and started picking at her nails, zoning out of the teacher's one-sided conversation.

Don't get her wrong, the teacher is one of the funniest, most sarcastic teachers ever, but right now she really didn't feel like learning about predicates, verb phrases, and whatnot. The teacher told them to get out their computers, open the "Goals for the Year" document they had made a while ago, and answer the questions on the board.

Lucy reluctantly walked to the computer cart and did as she was told, and once she was done she skipped a few lines and then typed "derpyderpderp" and some more gibberish (she was smacking the keyboard). She looked over at Natsu's screen, and figured that he was also bored, because a monkey made of parentheses, dashes, and periods was appearing slowly. Once he had finished his masterpiece, he typed "monkey" next to it, and leaned back with a proud look on his face.

Lucy pointed at it and snickered softly. "What?" Natsu asked, annoyed that she was laughing at his 'art'.

"I don't know, it's just so... derpy." "Derpy? Excuse me? It's friggin beautiful, not plain 'derpy'. No one has permission to call my works derpy."

She turned back to her own computer screen and sighed. As much as she wished she could sit there and argue with him forever, she had more pressing matters to attend to. Such as, getting across campus to get to her sixth period class within a measly three minutes. She was used to it, but the pain in her legs was killing her. Luckily, Levy was in her class this time so she could have someone to talk to.

She settled into her seat just as the bell rang- safe. "What do you have today?" She asked Levy. Every day, Levy's parents put two snacks in her backpack. And every day, Levy shared those snacks with her. "Today I got those goldfish cracker things and oreos." Levy responded slowly and quietly, eyes trained on the teacher like an obsessive dog.

Lucy sighed for the ten hundredth- wait, was it millionth?- time that day. Today was definitely the worst day ever.

After school, she got into the car with Erza's mom and went to her house. Mira had tutoring lessons for about half an hour, so she wouldn't be here until later.

The three were doing Japanese food, but they only had half the necessary ingredients. They had planned on asking Erza's mom to go shopping with them, but she had a meeting, and they weren't allowed outside, so Erza started preparing the sushi while Lucy opened the lid on the piano. She touched the slightly worn-down keys and started playing this one song that she had memorized. Actually, her finger muscles remembered it, not her mind, but there really was no difference so she was able to tell people that she memorized it.

After she finished, she got into the kitchen and prepared the batter for a cake. She had no idea where anything was, so Erza had to point everything out for her. They worked slowly, and when Lucy finally found the cake pan and put it in the oven, one and a half hours had already passed. Mirajane had arrived with her mother and brother a minute ago, and her mother would take them shopping for the things they needed.

At the supermarket, they spotted their classmate Lisanna, shopping for the same project that they were doing. Lucy immediately glomped her, and whispered, "How's it going with Bixlow?" Lisanna immediately turned red. "W-what are you talking about?" She stuttered. Lucy chuckled. She just couldn't help it sometimes, Lisanna was just too cute! They chatted for a bit, and then went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, Erza and Mirajane were arguing over whether they should get tea leaves or tea bags. Mira was all for tea bags, 'Because it's less trouble!' but Erza was talking back, saying, 'Tea bags aren't legit! Tea leaves, on the other hand, are legit!"

In the end though, they got tea bags. Mira had found a box of ten at a super cheap price, so Erza couldn't complain.

During the long period of time where they were making food, they discussed the logic of potatoes coming from unicorns ("because, you know, sometimes food comes from animals, so it would make sense that potatoes come from unicorns, right?" "What kind of logic is that?"), unibeanturds, and constipated ladles.

They got back to Erza's house, and finished their food preparations. By then, it was already 7:30 in the evening, so Lucy and Mira stayed for dinner.

After dinner, they went to Erza's room and did their homework. Lucy had to print something, but in the middle of that, the printer got jammed and she had to leave before she could fix the printer.

She got home, and realized the horrendous truth that...

Her family's printer was out. of. INK.

She begged Erza to unjam the printer herself and print it for her but apparently, Erza was too lazy to walk to the next room to do that.

She cried out at the sky- more like, she cried out at the ceiling- cursing it for her bad day. Little did she know, tomorrow would be worse.

Err. So, how was it? Just to clear it up- in this story Mirajane and Lisanna aren't related. Back when I was in middle school, there really was an Asian foods project. Since everyone brought something, there were a lot of leftovers. Many thanks for reading this, and please review! It really makes my day!
