Chapter 1:

In front of the majestic gates of fairy high, stood a blond, waiting for the crowd surrounding the gates to reduce. After a certain amount of time, sighing deeply, she walked into the gates and approached the castle-like structure.

She looked around, seeing amusing sights at every turn she took; 'this couldn't be that bad of an experience right?' she thought to herself. The unique characters surrounding her made her wonder if at all she would be able to get along here.

"Um, excuse me?" the blond said, tapping a petit looking, blue-haired girl, "could you please tell me where I could find the principal's office?"

"Oh you mean master Makarov? I'm headed there myself! You could just follow me" the petit girl replied, grabbing the blond's delicate wrist and dragging her down the busty hallway, "You must be the new student right? I'm Levy…Levy McGarden. You?" the blue-haired girl, now known as levy asked, with a sunny smile on her face that made the blond want to smile back.

"Lucy…Lucy Heartfilia." The blond said. 'Maybe getting along wouldn't be so hard…' the blond, now better known as Lucy, thought to herself with a sincere smile gracing her lips.

-Master Makarov's Office-

"Ok so I've given you all you would need so now we're good" Makarov replied kindly.

"Yes. Thank you sir" Lucy said and bowed in respect.

"Oh there would be no need for formality here my child; here in fairy high everyone is family. You can call me Master Makarov as that is what most of the kids here address me with."

Lucy could only smile at that reply.

"Ok so now all you need is someone to help you get used to the way things work here… um, most of the council members are busy at the moment –" master Makarov began but stopped when his eyes met Levy, "Levy! Ok so Levy is your guide."

"Yay! Let's go Lu-chan! There's so much to show you here!" Levy exclaimed and began dragging Lucy out the door.

'Lu-chan? Haha, she's pretty fast…' Lucy thought and she had a feeling that she and Levy would get along really well.

-three minutes later in the hallway-

"Levy-chan, what are the people like around here?"

"Um…well you could say each person here has a very unique personality. Not everyone gets along with the other though. We mostly move around in groups we can fit in. But you don't have to worry about all that Lu-chan –"

'THUD'

"ow!"

Levy turned to see Lucy on the shiny marble floor, butt-first with all her books scattered around her and an angry looking raven-haired boy beside her, also butt-first.

"Lu-chan you okay?"

"geez! Watch where you're going 'princess'" the raven-hair said, getting up and dusting his black trousers and taking off in the opposite direction without even offering Lucy a hand.

'the nerve!' Lucy thought. "He got a problem or something?!" Lucy exclaimed angrily.

"Oh don't take it the wrong way Lu-chan… Gray isn't normally so impatient. If he acts like that then it can mean only one thing –"" Levy began but was interrupted by the voice of girl with blue hair, curled at the bottom, running down the hallway in the same direction Gray had gone, screaming,

"GRAY-SAMA!"

" – Juvia. He was just in a hurry to get away from her." Levy continued.

"Okay….." Lucy said, feeling a bit out of place, "So, why is he trying to get away from her?"

"Well, Juvia is an exchange student from Phantom High, a school just as creepy as its namesake. She's been here for a month now and according to Gray, a full horrifying month," Levy began, around that time we were holding our annual elections to elect the school president, secretary and council members. So Gray was running for a position in the council to get extra credits. He'd been slacking off in history classes throughout the year so he needed it… So to get votes and stuff, he held campaigns and all – I wouldn't say it was hard work because he had Erza's support. So during one of his speeches Juvia met him and since then she's been stalking him…she's like the ultimate stalker and one of Gray's most dreaded fan girls."

"Fan girls huh?"

"Yeah… Well he is cute isn't he?"

"If you say so…"

-Lockers-

"I've got history class first Lu-chan, how about you?"

"Great, me too! Let's hurry… It's my first day" Lucy replied.

Lucy began filling up her locker while levy took out some books from hers and shoved it into her orange back-pack. From behind a salmon headed boy made his way to his locker that was right beside Lucy's.

"Oi Levy! I finally found you!" he said, his eyebrows furrowing; clearly he was annoyed about something.

"Natsu calm down please… There's no need to be mad, Erza won't do anything to you just for an ordinary strawberry cheesecake! Sheesh!"

"The point IS that it's not ORDINARY! It was her favourite strawberry cheesecake! I TOLD you not to tell! She's been releasing this ominous aura all day and I can bet it's me she's looking for!"

"Come on… she could be mad at Gray too"

"Gray didn't drop her cake!"

"Okay… I'm sorry Natsu" Levy said, pouting.

"Oka – waaahhhh!" Natsu was interrupted when he saw a red-head stomping in his direction; he quickly grabbed Lucy and hid behind her.

"Pleaseee save me!" He begged.

The red-head stopped when she saw Lucy and said, "You must be the new student. Lucy right?"

"Um…Y-yeah?" Lucy stuttered, feeling the aura Natsu had described earlier. Clearly this was Erza.

"I'm Erza Scarlet, School president. It's nice to have you here" she said smiling; her aura slowly disappearing. Lucy couldn't take her eyes off her; she was stunning! But all those thoughts quickly faded when she heard what came next, "it would be nicer if you didn't hide cake-dropping criminals" Erza said expectantly.

"S-sorry! I didn't mean to!" Lucy said apologetically, she didn't want to be in the bad books of such a nice person. She quickly stepped aside but Natsu was no longer there. All that was seen was his white scarf that had probably fallen off when he had made his swift escape. And with a kind goodbye, Erza bolted after him.

"Okay, enough time wasted now. Let's head towards class! We've only got fifteen minutes and its on the THIRD floor!" Levy exclaimed, grabbing Lucy's wrist and began running in the direction of the staircase. 'I guess the people here take grabbing other people as a tradition.' Lucy thought, smiling and trying to keep up with Levy's speed.

They reached the second floor but the way to the staircase was blocked full of girls surrounding an orange-headed boy wearing glasses. He looked really handsome and the view was pretty much like a Casanova surrounded by his many fan girls.

"LOKE! Could you take your cattle some place that wouldn't disturb others?" Levy shouted at the Orange headed guy now recognised as Loke.

"Oh Levy-chan! My apologies" he said bowing low, smiling broadly; making the hearts of all the girls around him melt.
