~PROLOGUE~ *Day 1 – Tokyo-Kyoto
"Hey, what's the deal?" Levy had a troubled look on her face, "What are guys from Fairy Tail Shonen High doing here? Isn't that an all-boys' school?"
"Yeah. I thought I'd gone to the wrong place. I was totally freaking out." I replied.
"I guess Fairy Tail Shonen High's here on a school trip too." Erza joined in the conversation.
It's school trip day. Our meet-up spot is packed with crowds of guys. Coming from an all-girls' school, I've never seen so many boys in one place before.
SMACK!
"Eeek!" I let out a surprised squeak. Something just smacked right into my back…
"You okay there, Lu-chan?" Levy asked, both Erza and her eyes filled with worry, "There's a soccer ball imprint on your back!"
A tall boy with dark blue hair runs over to pick up the ball. "Hey, you!" Erza pointed at the boy and shouted in a stern voice.
"… Huh? Sorry, I'm in a hurry!" And with that, he runs off again.
"God, talk about super rude. Soccer players are such jerks!" Erza declared.
"But he looked totally hot!" Levy added with a squeal, she clasped her hands together.
Then, a boy with a red tattoo on his eye and blue hair comes running up to us incredibly fast.
… What now? I mentally groaned.
"Sorry! He didn't notice at all…" He apologized, "that ball just hit you, right?"
"Y-yeah." I just meekly replied.
"I'm really sorry about that." The boy apologized again.
"Yeah, well maybe the guy who hit her should apologize," Erza spoke up, clearly stating that she is still unsatisfied that the boy who hit me just ran off without an apology, "I don't think Lucy should accept anything less."
The boy with the tattoo looked down on the ground, " You're right… Okay, I'll bring Gray by later, I swear!" I started to feel sorry for the latter,
"Hey, you don't have to…" The boy bows his head and runs off smoothly.
.
.
"Wow, that was totally smooth! I wish I'd been hit with a ball!" Levy squealed again.
"Oh, come on, Levy-chan…!" I whined.
-Byoop-
Some old guy I don't know steps up with a microphone. "Ahem, good morning everybody. My name is Makarov. I'm the principal of Fairy Tail Shonen High." A wave of murmur runs through the crowd. Just then, Levy-chan patted me on the shoulder,
"Check it out, our principal's standing next to him."
"Shh! Listen!" Erza, as serious as always, cut Levy-chan off.
"I have some news for you all," our principal, Poluchka-san, spoke through the microphone, "Fairy Tail Shonen High and Fairy Tail Girls' High sit next door to each other and both schools are run by their own independent school administrations. But starting with this year's school trip, we have decided…" There was a slight suspense hanging in the air,
"That all school function will be run jointly."
.
.
.
-Fwoosh-
.
.
.
After a moment of dead silence…
.
.
.
"BWHAAAAA?!" A crowd all erupts at once. "Are you for real?! We're going with Fairy Tail Girls' High?! Holy crap, this rules!" A salmon hair boy gives a fistpump.
Oh God, now it's a joint school trip with an all-boys' school?! Are they nuts?!
"Okay, okay. Quiet down!" Poluchka-san's voice boomed through the area, "I hope you'll all mingle together and give each other a helping hand. Now it's time to announce the teachers in charge of each student group. For Fairy Tail Shonen High,
Year 2, class A, group A, and…
Fairy Tail Girls' High, year 2, class A, group A…" That's our group! "Mr. Alzack Connell."
I don't recognize the name… Is that a Fairy Tail Shonen High teacher?! A very tall man waved a hand in the air.
"Alzack Connell here!" He acts more like a big brother than a teacher…
"Ooooh! That's our group's teacher?! He's hot!" Levy-chan seems to be having a whale of a time squealing.
"Y-yeah. He's a Fairy Tail Shonen High teacher, I guess. Kinda makes me nervous…" I confessed.
"Hold on, Levy! Oh, for… She's making a beeline for him." Erza let out a depressed sigh, "Want to join her, Lucy?" There was anxiety running through my entire body. It won't hurt giving a try, right?
"Sure"
"Mr Connell, we're class A, group A, it's nice to meet you!" Levy-chan introduces in our place, since she being the first to arrive there.
"Oh, okay. I've got three names on my list here. Which one of you is Levy McGarden…?"
"Me! You can call me Levy instead." Levy-chan's practically bouncing in her shoes. Erza stands next to her, looking calm.
"This is Lucy, and I'm Erza." Erza's always got it together.
"You're a pretty cute group!" Whoa, it's that guy who was pumping his fist. He's in our group? Kinda seems like a goof… I mentally sighed.
"Natsu, where are the other guys?" Mr Connell asked the salmon-hair boy, whose name seems to be 'Natsu'. Quite a nice name… 'Summer' huh? It fits his character somehow.
"They do what they want. Maybe they didn't hear the principal's announcement. Want me to bring'em over?" He replied.
"Yeah, if you could." It seems like Mr Connell and Natsu know each other very well.
"Yessir!" Natsu ends himself with a salute, "They need to get back here quick so we can get introduced to the girls! Consider me on the case!"
"The teacher's not bad and that kid was pretty cute too." Levy commented.
"Levy, do you ever slow down…?" Erza face-palms herself. I just sweatdrops by the side.
"All right, looks like all four guys are here." Mr Connell stands up from the bench he was sitting the whole time. Hey! I know those two…
"Ah hah! It's you…!" I exclaimed, subconsciously. The guy who hit me with that ball…!
"This works out perfectly! Gray, go on and apologize to her." The boy with the tattoo nudged the latter's arm.
"Why should I?!" The nerve of this guy…! I turn around on the spot and show him my back. "Hahah! Check out the imprint!" He laughs out loud. Clearly, he may be asking for a death wish…
"It's your ball that hit her, Gray!" The boy with the tattoo states the literal fact, letting out a depressed sigh in the end.
"Bwha? For real? Sorry about that, for real…" The boy, whose first name I assume is Gray, looks surprised, "Wanna wear my jacket?" He starts to take it off in front of me?!
"… No thanks." I smile it off.
"Man, I am so sorry. I'll make it up to you on the school trip, I swear!" He regains his posture, "I'm Gray Fullbuster. Nice to meet you!" I had him figured for a jerk before. But it was really just because he never noticed. There's no point holding a grudge against him then.
"Hey, no fair, ice-princess! You can't go puttin' the moves on the girls without me!" Natsu comes running over to where we are. "I'm Natsu Dragoneel! Call me Natsu!" Natsu flashes a toothy grin.
"Sup, Natsu the Clown?" Gray teased.
"Don't call me a clown! You'll ruin their first impression of me!" Natsu whined like a kid. I can't hold it in anymore…
"Ahahaha!" I burst out laughing at their argument. "By the way, you know Gray now, but…" Natsu trails off. "After the soccer team ace comes… Me, the baseball team ace!" He triumphs.
"My name's Jellal Fernandes. Gray and I are twins. It's nice to meet you." The guy with the tattoo introduces himself. Twins? So that's why he was so apologetic earlier.
"Whoa, twins? Are you identical?" Erza seems to be drawn into the conversation.
"No, fraternal." Jellal replies.
"Okay, that explains it. You seem pretty different for twins." Erza nodded as she spoke.
"Yeah?" Jellal smiled nervously.
"Heck yeah! You're the sensitive one." Gray swings his arm over Jellal's shoulder with a smirk adorned on his face, "She said so!"
"I did not!" Erza let out a murderous aura. I whimpered some comforting words while I pin her down from jumping and start to kill Gray.
"Ahaha, sorry. Gray hates it when people compare us." Jellal reassures us. Gray looks troubled for the moment before he turns and look at us,
"It just sucks…" Gray spoke in a soft voice, gradually getting to his normal voice, "When people lump us together just 'cause we're twins!"
"… I'm sorry." Erza apologizes…! Erza? Apologizing?! That's something you don't see every day.
"Eh, no biggie." Gray has a splash of pink on his cheeks.
"It'll be fine. Gray loves girls." Jellal laughs from seeing his brother's face.
"Shut up!" Gray retorted back, still blushing. Is Jellal the younger brother? He's pretty calm… I'd have to guess he's the older one. I wonder to myself.
"Hey, I love girls too!" Natsu joins in, throwing his arms around Gray.
"Then go hug a girl instead!" Gray exclaims.
"No girl would let me get away with it." Natsu exclaims back, in a surprised tone, "On that note, I am in the market for a girlfriend! First come, first served!"
"Natsu! God, you never let up…" Mr Connell sighs but still have a warm smile on his face, "Who's left to introduce? Cheney?" He points over to…
"I'm Rogue Cheney." All he does is glance up from his book and back down again? He's kind of quiet compared to the other guys…
"Come on, is that all? You can do better than that." Mr Connell exclaims.
"Fine. Nice to meet you." He didn't even look up from his book this time…
"…" Mr Connell has a troubled expression on his face.
"Rogue's a little shy, as you can see." Natsu smiled, "But he's a pretty cool guy. All the girls that go for the sophisticated type are always trying to talk to him. They're all like, hey there, handsome!" Natsu shifts Rogue's book to the side and grins to him.
"Natsu, you're not funny." Whoa. He didn't even bat an eye. He just went back to his book! But he did call Natsu by his first name. I guess they're friends? Rogue keeps reading after all the introductions are finished.
"Rogue, what book are you reading?" I asked out of curiosity.
"… The Gay Science." Whew, I was afraid he'd ignore me. But… Gay Science?
"That sounds complicated." It is all I can think of to say! I'm so stupid…
"Of course it would be to you, if you think of it that way."
Ouch…
"Am I bothering you by talking to you?"
"I'd be more interested in discussing Nietzche than having some pointless conversation."
"N-Nietzche?" Ugh, we're not even talking on the same wavelength…
"All right, we'll meet up in ten minutes. Until then, dismissed!" Mr Connell orders.
"Okay!" I reply.
"Hey Luce, got a sec?" Natsu calls me over. Luce? What's up with that nickname?
"Uh, sure."I meekly reply as I walk towards him.
"Let's sneak out together on the last night. Whaddya say?" Natsu whispered into my ear.
"What?!" I exclaim at the top of my voice.
"Hey Natsu, come on." Gray calls him over.
"Well, see you soon." Natsu grins at me before running off. There he goes…
The student body is in a uproar.
"No way! It's the real Freed! He's so hot!" Wait, Freed Justine, the celebrity?! Come to think of it, I did hear rumors he went to Fairy Tail Shonen High… Freed Justine is walking our way.
"Oooh! Freed! Shake my hand!" Levy's jumping up and down.
"Cut it out, Levy-chan." I spoke in a stern voice, "He's here as a student on a field trip, remember?"
"…" I just made eye contact with Freed?!
"I'm not exactly here as a student." He smiles, "I've got a filming crew from a documentary show here with me, so I'd say it's half and half."
"Wow, he talked to you!" Levy squealed from the side. Come on, Levy-chan…
"You've got a whole filming crew with you? Awesome!" Erza joins in, "I watch your show!" Now, even Erza's getting in on the act…
"Thanks for your support." Freed smiled at Erza and Levy.
"Eeeeee!" Levy and Erza squeal with joy. Seeing Freed's TV star smile… I can see how they'd want to shriek, but still…
"… What's your group?" Freed asks. Wait… Me? He still has a smile plastered across his face.
"Class A, group A." I reply, surprisingly without shuttering.
"Huh. That's my group." He looks… amused? What?! Did I hear that right?!
"Freed, let me get a shot of you over there with the bus in the background!" A staff shouts for Freed from a far distance.
"Coming." Freed replies and with that, he and his filming crew walk off. The girls are still freaking out.
"Hey, I'm going to the bathroom!" I told Levy and Erza.
"Okay, we'll be on the bus!" Levy replies.
"Sure thing." I run off to the nearest toilet.
**Five minutes later**
"Lucy! You're late!" Mr Connell looks upset with his arms akimbo.
"Sorry, Mr Connell." I bow and apologize to Mr Connell. There was a line in the bathroom…
"Everyone's waiting. Hurry up and find an open seat on the bus." Mr Connell's face softens and patted me on the shoulder.
"Yes, sir!" I exclaim. I step onto the bus… And everyone looks my way.
Wait, Levy and Erza are sitting together?!
What do I do, then? The only open seats are all next to the boys…
Who do I sit by?
Ohayo minna-san! So, how was it? I honestly think Natsu is way out of character but I hope you could go along with it. Here are the characters of the story.
