Prologue
"Look at that guy, Luce. He's totally staring at you." Levy pointed her finger at a black-haired guy who looked like he was about their age. He was wearing black jeans… and, well, that was it. No shirt.
"What the hell?" Lucy giggled. "Didn't his parents tell him that stripping in public is rude? And totally perverted."
Levy threw back her head in laughter. "Well, he doesn't seem like the type of guy who would follow orders from his parents."
And that was how it all started.

Lucy Heartfilia brushed out her silky blond hair and twisted part of it into a blue bow. Buttoning up the rest of her white shirt, she sighed. It was Monday, which meant she had to go back to school. It had been such a good weekend, spending time with Levy.
She slipped on her pleated skirt over her toned legs and rested it around her skinny hips. Taking one last look in the mirror, she smiled and headed out the door.
"Luce!"
She turned to see Levy running up to her. Her pale blue hair cascaded down her shoulders. "I'm so glad you're here. I have news!"
Lucy grinned, excited. "What is it? Tell me!"
Levy had a sly grin on her face. "You know stripper boy we saw at the mall yesterday? The one that was checking you out?"
"Yeah…?" Lucy raised her eyebrow, uncertain.
"Well, I saw him in the office today." Levy paused for anticipation. "He just transferred here! He's the new student everyone's been talking about!"
Lucy swore her eyes popped out in shock. "What?!"
