Chapter One:
Lucy's POV:
I stood there by the school's entrance, where the cherry blossoms engulfed the warm sun. The last of the students rushed in the school building, as the pink, delicate petals flew with the wind and desperately chased after them. They slowly brushed the ground, leaving the area smelling sweet, while the trees swayed with the wind. I'm still standing there while everyone has already rushed to class. Do I really belong here? I still wonder.
The Academy for the Gifted. Located in on top of a hill, in Japan. 999 acres on campus, took me long enough to get here. The richest of the richest in the world sprawl around the place. Only one of the billions are smart enough to attend. I'm still leaning on the golden gates of the main building, my new school, admiring the view.
" I really love the cherry blossoms here." A voice said. The voice was like the chime of a bell in a hot summer day ; the coolness of the wind. I turn to find big, onyx eyes like fire burning passionately. His had pink fiery hair that reflected the cherry blossom petals. His hands were in his pockets, walking toward me. He had a foolish, but cute grin on his face.
" I'm Natsu!" He said, reaching his hand towards me. Still beaming at me.
" I'm Lucy." I say, smiling back in response and shook his hands. Warm. Just like the air right now. The trees went shaaaaa again, the warm breeze tingles my cheeks. Our hands were still touching. I stare into his eyes, his eyes staring into mine. It felt like no one else was in the world. I felt a sensation.
"BEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" Something honked. Natsu and I snap back- back to reality. We quickly pull back, blushing, Natsu puts his hands back into his pockets, while I fumbled with my blonde hair. I look over his shoulder as I see a limo leaving. Was that Natsu's?
"You're new here right?" Natsu asked, looking away, scratching the back of his neck.
" U-umm yeah! I'm the new honour student!" I reply hoping that I didn't just make it anymore awkward than it was already. Natsu was smiling at me again, phew I didn't.
" COOL! So you're like not as rich as us, but you got into the school? WOW! Now you're the third not rich kid in the school!" Natsu blabbed as he grinned. Now he sounds like an idiot. Wonder if he's one.
" Yea... " I reply. Weird kid.
" So you're really not rich?" Natsu asks again.
" Noooo... Umm we should really get to class..." I replied, a little worried about the time.
" What's your last name?"
" Heartfillia. We should really go..."
" Hmm... Heartfillia... Never heard of it!"
"Uh yea. Let's go shall we?"
" If you got the scholarship Lucy, then you must be really smart!"
" Uhhh... We should really ge-"
"OMIGOD! LOOK AT THE TIME! WE CAN'T BE LATE OR ELSE ERZA WILL KILL ME! LET'S MOVE IT!" Natsu literally yelled and ran in.
" Yea..." I replied, a little dumbfounded. I look up at the huge building that's now my school. Here goes nothing... I thought as I took a step into the building. Academy for the Gifted, here I go!
Natsu's POV:
As we in the building, past the lockers, I was so worried and freaked out that Erza was gonna kill me... I feel so anxious right now... The hallway seems to be spinning...Oh look... I walking in such a narrow place...it's like walking a tightrope...aha...I think Lucy is fanning me...with a rainbow coloured cow...I feel motion sick...even though I thought I already got over it...Nooo...Erza will punish me again...She'll probably have to send me in the atlantic ocean pinned down on the rock AGAIN! Or even worse she'll even -
"Umm... Natsu? Are you okay? You seem...wobbly…" The worried voice beside me says. I kinda smile a bit knowing that she cares about me. Even if we only just met.
"Ugh… Yea I'm alright," I reply in a weak voice. Dammit I need to get a hang of myself.
"Do you feel sick?" Lucy asks again, walking in front of me to see if I'm okay. I take a deep breath and now try to survive the " Erza-Will-Probably-Kill-Me-Sickness". Everyone gets it every once in awhile. Last time Gajeel, Gray and I got the "Erza-Will-Probably-Kick-Ass-Any-Time-Soon", sad story.
"I'm okay!" I say, trying to sound as cheerful as I can. What I didn't know was that Lucy was still in front of my face. Real close I mean. I can feel her breath in my face, the refreshing smell of mint. Her chocolate brown eyes were looking in my eyes again, and I was looking at hers. After a few seconds, we jolted back, blushing in embarrassment.
"S-sorry," We said in sync. We looked back at each other and laughed. She had a tingly laugh that sounded like wind chimes.
We kept on walking through the hallway and Lucy was amazed by the many statues we walked by. I would just stand proudly there and say " We have much more statues at my house." Lucy would just be like "Cool." I feel comfortable around her. Already I mean.
" Umm... Natsu... I think this is the office right?" The sweet voice says. Lucy was pointing at a door that says "office".
" Yea," I reply.
" Well, bye Natsu! See you later maybe?" Lucy was smiling and waving her hand, her blond hair flipping.
"Bye Lucy!" I grin back. "Hoping to see you around!" I kinda wanna hang around her more.
Lucy waved her hand again and entered the office. I glanced at my watch that reads 8:35. I sighed, there was no point of going to class now. It's already the middle of first period.
I leaned on the office door, I'll just wait until Lucy's done her business in there. I smiled knowing that I get to walk Lucy to her class.
Third Person:
Lucy entered the office thinking how cute Natsu's grin was. Lucy smiled to herself knowing that she made her first friend here.
The principal sat in his usual spot - behind the curtains, behind his desk. In his unusually small office, there are shelves surrounding the room. Light would always shine in from the windows. There was also strange smell of men's cologne.
"Uh hi, I'm new here, Lucy Heartfillia?" Lucy says, walking toward the desk wondering about the man behind the curtains known as "principal".
" Welcome to The Academy for the Gifted, Lucy Heartfillia." A calm, low voice said.
"Thanks! I will be sure to enjoy my stay here sir!" Lucy says, while placing her registration paper on the surface of the smooth desk.
"So Miss Heartfillia, I would like to learn about your family. " The principal cleared his throat.
" Umm... I...live alone..." Lucy says, a little unsure of what to say.
"What about your parents?" The principal asks.
"W-well... I don't know where my dad is... And m-my mother died...when I was little.." Lucy trembled, surprised that her eyes were watery. Don't cry now Lucy! She thought to herself and took a deep breath.
"Where did you get the money from?" The principal asks again in a dull, monotone voice.
"I worked at a local supermarket as a part timer... I don't get a lot of money, but I still can manage..." That explains my skinny legs... Lucy thought to herself, looking at her stick legs, good enough to be a model.
"You understand the points system in the Academy right?" The principal asks, clearly bored of his job.
"Yes sir," Lucy responds. The points system was a little childish to Lucy. There is a student hierarchy that can be identified by the students uniform. Gold is on the top, then is Silver, and on the bottom is Bronze. You become a Silver or Gold by paying money, and Lucy was a Bronze, but that didn't matter to her. You earn points by popularity and grades to buy food. You can get bonus points when your class is in the top of the dorm room size will be depended on your ranking. Lucy had a small dorm room, but she thought it was pretty large.
"Good. Now you are in the class 1-8. Make some fine business with your classmates and teacher. " The voice says again before Lucy took her schedule and left and said " Thank you sir for accepting me to this school!"
I can't wait to make new friends! That kept on going through Lucy's excited mind. As opened the door out to the hallway, someone leaped and hugged her.
