Chapter One; The New Student

Lucy's Point of View

It's been a short morning and I already I want to go , I can't since I was following the administrator towards the homeroom that I'm located in. I can't help but look around, this place is gigantic! Everything is colorful and radiant. Anyone new to the Academy couldn't help but gawk at the structure of old wood.

"Lucy, this is your homeroom. The Sensei of this class is Mirajane Strauss and she teaches English, make yourself feel at home," with that, the administrator turned on her heels and left me in the empty corridor.

Nice way to leave me, I thought as I pushed open the door of the class. What was once a lively class turned to silence when I stepped into it. I looked around the class, many students had their mouths hanging upon or gossiping towards their click of the new student, aka me, or something completely irrelevant about the English subject. I had no choice but to stand next to the Sensei and wait to be introduced.

After finishing the lesson, Sensei Mirajane Strauss clapped her hands together, gaining the students attention. She looked around to see if she had all eyes on deck before speaking up. "It seems we have a new student in class. Her name is Lucy Heartfilia, please make her feel welcomed. Lucy, you can go sit beside Natsu and Gray." She pointed to the two boys, one with salmon colored hair and one with blackish blue hair.

Respectfully, I bowed towards the Sensei before making my way towards the empty desk between the boys. I kept my eyes to the wooden floor, but I can feel the hatred radiating off of the two, the glares they shoot each other. It's like they're fire and ice, total opposites of the spectrum..

"Hey! Get lost, Blondie! You're in my line of view!" The boy with the salmon hair growled in annoyance to the interruption of his feud with the blackish blue haired boy.

As if I didn't hear the boy, I sat upon the assigned seat, taking out books and paperwork. I began to work on the assignments of the classes I have missed upon my arrival to the Academy. I didn't dare pay attention to the quarrels of the two I sit between, it wasn't my business and I am way behind in my classes!

However, it became my business when Natsu grabbed me by my forearm, yanking me out of my seat before thrown to the floor. "I told you to get lost, do what I say or you will regret it!" Natsu leaned down and sneered in my face. He spat out in annoyance, continuing with his rage, "are you even listening me?! Is the Blondie going to cry like a big baby she looks like?"

I looked up Natsu, my gaze hardening with a sudden rage that filled my lungs. Instead of making things worse, I inclined my head to the side with curiosity hinting at my brown hues. "Are you going to be a gentleman and help a woman up or are you gonna keep sneering at me like the child you are?"

As Natsu was about to raise his hand to hit me, a harsh voice boomed about the class, making the students cower in fear. "Natsu, lower your hand or you will have to deal with me once again." The clanking of metal against wood grew louder when the mysterious being approached the two of us.

"E-Erza, welcome back! How was your mission? Was it good?" Natus's raised hand fell back behind his head, rubbing the salmoned locks of his as if he wasn't going to do anything harmful. Acting like an innocent child he portrays to be, but God forbid, no one believes his facade.

Ignoring the question, Erza reared back her fist and moved it forward. The fist connected to Natsu's cheek, making him fly backwards into the wall behind us all. Once he was out of range, Erza looked down at me and held out her hand for me to take. Being the respectable woman I am, regardless of who helped me or not, I placed my hand in her's and allowed her to help me up.

I bowed to her, a little whisper leaving my slightly parted lips. "Thank you, Miss. Erza."

"Straight up, child and look me in the eyes." She grumbled while I slowly straightened up once again, tilting my head which had my bangs fall over my brown eyes. Erza smiled and patted me on the back, her voice much gentler than before. "My name is Erza Scarlet, I had information you are Lucy Heartfilia, the new student. Please make yourself at home and don't hesitate to beat anybody's ass who tries to bully you. Also, I have the magic ex-equip, meaning I can change into different armors for different occasions. Say, What is your magic?"

I blinked, my lips parted more or so. I cleared my throat and patted the pouch at my hip. "My magic is Stellar Spirit, meaning I can summon the Zodiacs, which are the golden keys, and lesser spirits, which are silver keys. I have one golden key to find and that is Gemini." I rambled on, feeling all bubbly inside from making a new friend.

Erza listened to my explanation in silence, she had her index finger and thumb placed upon her chin, nodding along to everything I was telling. She had the face of curiosity and interest towards my keys and power, a light smile turning her lips upwards after my explanation had finished. However, that didn't last long when there was a series of screams shouts at the back of the classroom.

"Fire dragon roar!" Natsu shouted with his hands cupped over his mouth.

Erza turned around just in time as a cloud of fire came our way, not even a second passed by when she equipped into one of her famous armors, Fire Empress, it was resistant to all and any type of fire. Before the fire had reached us, Erza pushed me out of the way to protect me from being burnt. She had shielded me from turning into a crispy.

I took out a Zodiac key that had zigzags at the handle, it was Stellar Spirit Aquarius, finding water on the other side of the room, a fish tank was present. I stuck the key in the water and yelled out with a quiver of regret. "Gate of the Water Bearer, I open thee! Aquarius!"

A flash of blue light surrounded the golden key as a mermaid type female became visible, a vase-like object could be seen in the woman's hands while water poured out of it into the fish tank.

A sneer appeared upon her lips when she looked down at me with a glare. "Didn't I tell you I was on vacation with my boyfriend for a week?! Tch, snobby brat. This is why you need a boyfriend, so you can stop bothering me! And why did you summon me from a fish tank?! Are you even humane?!"

I scratched my cheek, averting my gaze to the fire breathing Natsu. "I'm sorry, but this is an emergency, please put out his fire!" And don't get me caught up in this..

Aquarius looked at me with her sneer deepening, she arched her back, making the vase go above her head. With this, the classroom filled with a raging riptide, taking out everybody and everything besides her. After the job was done, she returned back to the spiritual world, leaving the room soaked.

Everybody turned towards me, their faces turning over into a raging sneer. Well everybody had the look besides Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Mira. They looked more astonished than anything, making them inch closer to me. They're new found interest in my keys made me feel lesser as a mage than these four.

"Well, well. Looks like school has be cancelled. It seems that water has drowned out the whole school, who is responsible for this?" The Principal Makarov Dreyar splashed into the room, sounding quite annoyed, but the annoyance couldn't hide the fact that he is also quite impressed.

Everybody turned towards me and pointed, making feel betrayed by my own class. Traitors, all of them! Ratting me out like that, tch. My mind seemed angry with the class. However, my heart tells me something else. I'm scared, but why? He's so tiny!

Makarov made his way to me, a pleasing smile playing at his lips. He looked up with me, his lips parted as he spoke. "The new student Lucy did this? She put you all to shame. Also, she is off the hook and you call can go home." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Welcome to Fairy Heights Academy, Lucy." And then he was gone, disappeared without a sound or trace.

A sigh made itself known as I went to gather my belongings. Shame, I really wanted to catch up with my studies. I slung my backpack of my shoulder with a huff and exited the classroom. Even without water present, you can hear the splish splash sound of students running back and forth in the corridor.

Naturally, I would block out the sounds of the other students and keep to myself at the ending of each school period. However, this time was different, people actually came up to me and started talking with me. Beside these people were Erza, Natsu, and Gray.

While the students talked, I listened but kept my gaze to the wooden floor. I started to gain the feeling of uncomfort. It was nearly noon, which gave me time to take a bath, eat, write to mum, and then sleep. A smile perked up my lips at this.

I bowed to the accompanying students, my rushed excuse slurring over my apologies. "I'm sorry! I have to go, I have chores and responsibilities to do at home. Please, excuse me!"

Without giving them a chance to react, I ran out the corridor's double doors. I even ran down the street a few blocks until I reached my apartment. Little did I know, I was being followed by the salomed hair boy.

Taking out my keys, I opened the fancy door and rushed inside. I grabbed a fluffy towel that was the color of a light pink of sorts, I waddled to the bathroom. The only thing separating the bathroom from my room was a woolen blanket.

I reached over to the bathtub knob, turning it over to release a steaming rush of hot water in the tub. I poured a lid full of rose scented bubble bath foam into the running water.

After the water was at a reasonable height, I turned the water off. I began to undress myself, taking layer upon layer off. Until, I was just standing in a purple laced bra and blue laced panties. I reached up to place my hair into a messy bun.

"Should I grab a book or a candle? A candle." I smiled with my decision and walked out of the bathroom with just those garments on.

I fumbled around with unpacked boxes to find my favorite honey scented candle. I skipped back to the bathroom with the candle and lighter in hand. I placed the candle near the faucet, scraping my thumb against the lighter to make it light. Once it was lit, I brought the flame to the candle fuse, waiting for it to aflame.

The flame flickered against the fuse, giving the me the knowledge it was lit. Putting the lighter at the sink, I unhook the laced bra and shimmied out of the panties. I stepped into the steaming water, now fully undressed, I slowly went to sit in the water before leaning my back against the wall. My eyes fluttered closed, seeming to relax against the heat.

A couple of hours passed by when I was woken by a loud clutter and the coldness of the bath. I leaned forward to blow out the candle and unplug the drain. When the two tasks were finished, I stood up wrapping the towel around myself to trap in any heat left from my body.

I stepped out of the tub and slowly made my way out of the bathroom. I stopped at the border of the room and bathroom, my eyes seem to widen at the unexpected guest on my bed, Natsu.

A loud screech left my lips as I hurriedly went over to the boy who had bullied me earlier. I didn't hesitate to kick him against his chest. "Intruder alert! Leave!"

With the kick, Natsu skipped along the floor of my apartment, his back hitting the wall the second time today. "Ouchhh. Look, I wanted to apologize for earlier, it was arrogant of me. You also have an awesome house." He pouted then grinned, getting up to move in front of me before he continued, "you also have a rocking body. Probably the best body I have ever seen."

Another screech left me as I took out another golden key. "Pervert! Gate of the Lion! I open thee, Leo!"

A yellowish light glowed against the key as another Spirit became visible as the glow started to die away.

Natsu stared at the spirit, his mouth hanging open. "L..Loki? You're Luigi's spirit?!"

I flailed, placing my hands upon my hip. "It's Lucy! Loki, do something! He stalked me home and broke into my house! He saw me practically naked!" I whined at this, feeling quite violated.

Loki sighed, pushing up his glasses before moving his hands together to crack his knuckles. "No one sees Lucy partially naked besides me. But, I am a gentleman and I wouldn't do so without her permission. You are a disgrace, Natsu. However, Lucy. I have to return to Aries. I'll make this quick."

Loki walked to Natsu, a friendly smile upon his face. Without blinking an eye, he reached out and grabbed Natsu by the collar of his vest. Natsu started freaking out, trying to run.

Loki then lifted Natsu up and tossed him out of the apartment window. "Next time, knock." He huffed, brushing off his hands before disappearing with a glow of a yellow light.

With a sigh, I placed the golden key back in my pouch. I went over to my dresser picking out a pair of pink laced panties and an oversized shirt. I released my golden locks from the messy bun before putting some chicken noodle soup into the microwave for 3 minutes.

While the soup heated up, I slowly walked over to the desk where a fountain pen and a blank piece of paper waited to be used.

I sat at the chair, picking up the pen before I wrote. "Dear mum, I'm sorry I haven't written you in awhile. I'm doing okay! I got accepted into the Fairy Heights Academy! Can you believe it? I'm a senior! I'll be graduating shortly and then I'm going to be joining a guild where I can do free college when I'm not doing jobs. I met a few people today, I believe one of them is my friend. I think you heard of her, Erza Scarlet. She's so pretty! I met Gray Fullbuster, he's quiet and cool. Not much of a talker, either. And then there's Natsu Dragneel, ugh! He is such a bully and a pervert! How can I be in class with someone like him? Also, I accidentally flooded the Academy using Aquarius. The Principal was quite impressed with my magic power. Okay, mum, I have to go now. I'm running out of space to write. I love and miss you so much! Signed and loved by Lucy."

After I finished writing the letter, I placed it into an envelope and into a tin box. I hadn't realize the microwave was going off. I stood up and wandered over to the microwave, shutting it off and taking out the contents.

I tried to finish the soup as fast as I could so I can brush my teeth and hair before heading to bed. It took a lot longer than I hoped for. Eating the soup took a few minutes to finish. I had to wash out the bowl, since I don't like messes in my home. Afterwards, I went to brush my teeth which took another 3 minutes. I love my pearly teeth though, so it's okay. And my hair, eh, that took about a minute since there was no knots.

With a yawn, I turned off my light and crawled into bed. Ending the day with a much more positive attitude than how it started with my own negative attitude towards the beginning of the day.

N/A; Thank you for reading this! It's my first time of writing a fanfic that isn't a crossover! Please, feel free to give my ideas and message me if you have any questions. I will try to update as much as possible and try to make things a bit more romantic and dramatic. However, it won't get romantic until Chapter 4 or 5. So, drama will be present for a couple of chapters. Please tell me if it needs more drama!
