Hey guys! This is my second story on fanfiction and first story about Fairy Tail. It's a high school story, and there are some things different than in the anime:

- Juvia doesn't speak in third person, and she isn't acting like she's head over heels for Gray

- All of the main characters have parents, and they live with them

- Includes romance: Nalu, Gruvia, Jerza, Gale, and others (the ones mentioned are the main and most important)

- There are some OC's

- There are other stuff too, but I can't remember them right now... You'll find out about them while reading.

Just so you know, english isn't my mother language, and even if I know It like It's my mother language, there might be some grammar or spelling mistakes.

Chapter 1: A new beginning

Natsu's POV

Wake up! Wake up! 6:30a.m.! Wake up! - my alarm clock said. It was a talking alarm clock. I thought It would be easier to wake up with It but It's even worse! Why did I even buy It in the first place...

It quickly turned It off and got into bed again. I didn't even remember why did I set It so early. Then my mom called from downstairs.

Natsu! - she shouted - Get up already you'll be late for your first day of school!

And that's when I remembered...Why I set my alarm clock that early. The summer vacation ended and I was in school again. But It wasn't just an ordinary day... It was my first day in high school! Fairy Tail high was the best high school in Magnolia, and I was signed up there. School started at 08:00a.m. which meant I had a lot of time before It starts. But since I was a freshman I was supposed to be there at 07:30a.m. All the freshmen students were... We were supposed to get our locker keys and schedule, and meet the principal's assistant who was supposed to tell us some rules, and still be able to get in class at 08:00a.m.

NATSU! - my mother shouted again.

Coming! - I shouted back. I got up and took a shower, brushed my teeth and put my school uniform on. Yeah, we were supposed to wear uniforms. I got downstairs where my mother was making breakfast. She had made pancakes... Yummy! I quickly ate some of the pancakes. I grabbed my backpack, said goodbye to my mom and left the house.

Fairy Tail high wasn't in the center of the town. It was far from all of the neighbourhoods in town, so to get to It you had to take a special bus that leads only to school. It was way too far for walking, and cars or other vehicles weren't allowed except if you have a special authorizaton, an authorization that only the teachers had. It was because the school was also only for students that had magic abilities, so It needed more free space for magic practising. Also, since magic was used, this way the possibility of other people getting hurt wasn't possible.

I got to the bus station near my house. And I found Gray there sitting on a bench. He was looking quite angry.

Do you know how long I've been waiting, idiot! - he shouted - I even missed a bus because of you and now I have to wait for another one!

Shut up, ice princess... - I shouted too - It wasn't my idea to meet at the bus station this early...

Well, flame queen, It wasn't my wish either... - Gray continued - And I'm sure no one wants to be late at the principal's assistant's meeting!

Are you two fighting again? - someone from behind asked. Gray and I immediately recognized the voice.

N-no Erza, w-we were just talking like good friends do! - Gray said and we hugged each other like best friends do.

Aye! - I just replied. I don't know why but everytime I see Erza I say that.

Well, I'm really glad about that... - Erza said with a slight smile on her face.

We waited for the bus to come and It came after about five minutes. We got on the bus and It was full with other freshman students. There was only silence in the front rows, only two girls were talking to eachother. On the other hand, you could have heard shouting from the back rows. And in the middle rows, the students were kinda ...normal. They were talking to eachother but they didn't shout.

Erza sat on one of the chairs in the middle, beside a girl that had short blue hair, and was reading a book. I heard her talk to the girl, guess she wanted to make some friends before school starts.

Gray and I went to the back seats, Gray sat beside the window and put his earphones on, and I was sitting next to him and apparentely joined in the shouting. In the end Gray couldn't stand my shouting so he joined in as well. I met this guy called Lyon, who was friends with Gray. They had known eachother since they were kids. Lyon was...should I say a calm person. He was sitting with the "crazy" people in the back, but he wasn't as crazy as the others were. There was also this guy, Loke, who was a big playboy. He was sitting around girls and telling them something like how pretty they are, and stuff... And even though he was occupied with girls, we were able to at least introduce ourselves. I saw that Erza was having a good time too. She was laughing with the girl she was sitting next to, and she was also talking to some other girls too.

The ride in the bus was crazy, even though we barely knew eachother. This guy, Mark, almost started a food fight, and if It weren't for Erza and the bus driver, Gray and I were gonna start a fight.

The ride soon ended, and we were in the school, Fairy Tail high school... I was really looking forward to meeting new friends and stuff, but I hated just the thought of books, homework, teachers, detention... We got into the school, at It was already full of freshmen students. Most of them were waiting in line to get their schedules and locker keys. Some of them already did that, and they were already putting their books in their lockers. Erza, Gray and I waited in the line with the rest of the students from the bus we were in. It was soon our turn and we took our schedules and locker keys. There was a number written on the key. It was probably the number of our locker. Mine was 208, Erza's was 209, and Gray's was 207. Loke had the locker 206, and Lyon 205. That girl with the short blue hair had the locker 210. I don't know about the others, I didn't even want to find out.

We compared our schedules and we had the same class in first period...Math! Great way to start the school year...

Soon everyone got what they needed and a voice was heard through the speakers.

Attention! All freshmen students should go into the school meeting hall! I repeat! All freshmen students should go into the school meeting hall! - the voice said.

Well, I guess It's time for the principal's assistant's speech... - Erza said - Lets go.

I hate this stupid speeches! - I whined.

Well It's 07:45a.m. and since we should be in our classes at 08:00a.m. It won't last long. - Gray said.

Yes! - I shouted.

When we found the meeting hall we were amazed... It was huge! There was a stage in the front and there were a lot of chairs surrounding It. The students were sitting on the chairs, and when we were all settled, the pincipal's assistant appeared on the stage. She had white long hair and blue eyes. She was also wearing a school uniform like the other students. Before she started talking, the whole room went quiet.

Welcome everyone to Fairy Tail High! - she said - I am Mirajane Strauss, the principal's assistant. I am also a sophomore student here. Don't ask why a student is the principal's assistant, even I can't answer that... Just know that I'm a regular student here like the others. So, I asume you all took your schedules and locker keys... On the back of the schedule list there's a map of the school in case you get lost. You're gathered here to hear the three rules of Fairy Tail High:

Rule number 1: All of the students in Fairy Tail High are a family, It doesn't matter where you come from, what are your grades like, or which year you are.

Rule number 2: Always respect rule number 1. If any outsider messes with a Fairy Tail student, he's messing with the whole school.

And finally, the last rule, rule number 3: Try not to get called in the principal's office. If you are called, then that can mean two things, you did something good and you're called to be complimented or praised, or you did a bad thing and you're called to be punished. - she finished talking.

Everyone was shocked by her words, no one expected this...

Okay, well that's all I have to say. - she continued - I wish you all a happy beginning of the school year. Now It's almost time for your classes to begin so go. I hope I meet you all in person! - she said and smiled.

Everyone got out of the meeting hall.

Well this was unexpected... - Gray said.

Yes, I would have never guessed that this would happen... - Erza agreed.

So, where's the Math classroom? - I asked looking at the map. I wasn't quite able to understand It.

It's in front of us idiot... - Gray annoyingly said.

Shut up... - I muttered.

We got into the classroom. There were a lot of students in It. Since we got in Gray and I we were surrounded by girls.

You're hot!, Wanna date me?, Kiss me!, was all they were saying. Apparently Loke had the same problem...the only catch is that he liked It. There were boys gathering around Erza too, but they learned their lesson really quick... One of the boys told her she's sexy enough to be his girlfriend. And you can probably guess what happened next... Yup, she kicked his ass. She gave the others a death glare and they ran away.

Hey, pinky! - a girl called to me. She sounded like she's drunk. She had brown hair and brown eyes.

Huh? - I said in confusion.

I would stay away from those girls if I were you... - she said. Even though she sounded drunk she didn't act like she was drunk.

Why? - I asked.

I went in elementary school with them... - she said - There was this hot boy, and he kinda gave them attention. And one day, they secretly followed him home, and after that they were a big pain in the butt... They never left the poor guy alone...

Oh... - I said in understanding - Thanks...um...

The name's Cana. Cana Alberona. - she said.

Well, thanks Cana! - I said with the usual grin on my face - I'm Natsu Dragneel!

Then the bell rang. And soon after that the teacher came in.

Alright everyone! - he spoke - Take a seat.

Everyone took a seat. I sat in the back next to Cana. Gray was in the middle rows beside a window, and as expected, Erza was in the front row. Next to her was sitting a girl with white short hair, and behind her was the blue haired girl. Loke was in the middle row and girls were sitting all around him... What a playboy...

Okay, so I'm Frederik Johnson, your math teacher. - he said - You can call me Mr. Johnson. I expect discipline in my class, and hard work of course. Today is your first day, so I won't bother you with anything that's conected with maths. Now I want you all to introduce yourselves in front of the class.

So everyone introduced and the class was boring. The same was with my next class English. Our teacher Mrs. Bell kept on talking about rules, discipline, homework and not to mention detention! We were supposed to introduce ourselves again...

Then came lunch. I was in the cafeteria with Erza, Gray, Cana, the blue haired girl (her name was Levy), the white haired girl who was sitting next to Erza (Lisanna) and Loke. We all had our first two periods together, but we all had different classes in the third period. I had Art, Gray and Levy had Biology, Erza had Chemistry, and Cana, Lisanna and Loke had Physics.

School is boring! - I whined while eating my sandwich.

It's still the first day and you already started whining... - Erza sighed.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised even if he got detention today... - Gray said.

Shut up! - I said.

So, how do you like the school? - a girl behind us asked. When we turned around we saw It was Mirajane, the principal's assistant.

Hey, sis! - Lisanna said and hugged her.

Sis? - Cana asked.

We're sisters! - Mirajane said and smiled.

Oh, well, you really are similar... - Erza said with a smile - That's why Lisanna reminded me of you.

Would you like to sit with us? - Loke asked as he holded her hand and winked at her.

Sure... - Mirajane said - But don't take my answer the wrong way... - she said in a don't dare to flirt with me didn't say a word. Well, he got what he wanted...

So, Mirajane, you're a sophomore right? - Levy said trying to change the subject.

Yeah, but just call me Mira. - she said - Well, you didn't answer my question... How do you like the school?

It's really cool! - I said - But the school, not the books and the teachers and the homework and detention and...

We get It already! - Gray said cutting me off.

Although, I was very surprised about the rules... - Erza said ignoring me and Gray.

Well, the principal knows that all of you know the usual rules like don't be late for classes etc, and It will be long and boring to tell them again. Instead, he has made his own school rules that no one knows about cause only Fairy Tail High uses them. He believes that way we will all get along better, and we'll help eachother like a family. He treats all the students like his children, and he will do anything to help them... - Mira explained.

Wow, the principal here really knows what he's doing! - Cana said amused. We all agreed.

Soon the bell rang and we went to our classes again. It was boring as usual. Although, I had fun in the music class, Mrs. West was quite an amusing teacher. Gym is one of my favourite classes, althoug our coach Mr. Godwin is a pain in the butt. And today, my last class was Magic, my favourite! We have Magic classes three times a week. Monday, that is today, and It's for learning about our magic and learning new spells, and in Wendnesday and Friday, when we practise our magic.

School soon ended, and we all waited for a bus to come. We all got home and I was welcomed by my parents with the usual questions: how was school, did you make new friends etc. I ate my dinner and spent the whole day at home. Soon night fell again and I got in my bed.

A month has passed since school started, and every day was the same...boring. That is until a new girl joined the school... A girl that made my life change, a girl that made me a new beginning.
