Jellal Fernandes

RPG name - Black_Steel_G
Social Status - A nightmare to all freshman, a badass to everyone else. No one ever tries him, or would want to.

Lucy Heartfilia

Juvia Lockser
Grade - Junior
RPG name - RainWoman_
Social Status - Captain of the swim team, and an average stalker. She came to Fairy High last year and has been crushing hard on Gray since he first threw a book at her - by accident of course, it was meant for Natsu. Resides in high school grounds, under a swimming scholarship.
Erza Scarlet
Grade - Senior
RPG name - Titania100
Social Status - Student body president and a hardcore bitch. No one can stand her and her ridiculous rules and policies. She's one of the hottest girls in the school, yet can't take a joke without punching you square in the face. She has a full-time job at the library and is able to juggle between school and work and paying the bills to her small condo.
Levy McGarden
Grade - Junior
RPG name - i_ship_it
Social Status - Geek. You can find Levy at any time of the day doing homework, studying, reading, or doing extra credit for fun. She's very friendly and is able to have people see beneath her geek-like exterior. She has somehow accumulated a GPA of 4.7 … no one knows how. She lives out of Fairy grounds, with her parents.
Wendy Marvell
Grade - Freshman
RPG name - BlueFairy14
Social Status - A wallflower who has somehow been able to drag people into the palm of her hand. Just with a small please, she is able to have anyone do her bidding - no worries though, she couldn't even step on an ant without crying and saying 'sorry'. Her parents died just last year, leaving her with a hefty amount of money on their will and a full-ride to Fair High.
Mirajane Strauss
Grade - Senior
RPG name - DemonJane

Cana Alberona
Grade - Senior
RPG name - PartyHArdy
Social Status - 'Party Chick'. Whoever thought having an obsessive father who joined the high school's faculty was hard, was right. Sure, she didn't have a curfew or anything, but having her father talk about her so much throughout all her life and even going as far as showing naked baby pictures was close to suicide.
Laxus Dreyar

Social Status - Already graduated, he's a full-time student at FTU but spends his free time hanging around his grandfather's school. No one knows why, nor do they ask.
Makarov Dreyar
Principle

Lucy Heartfilia raised an eyebrow at the screen. She had just defeated a formidable opponent in an online battle, but she was dead tired. Of course, it was 12:39 in the deep, dark night. She glanced at the screen one more time, and her hand hovered over her square laptop mouse. She abruptly closed the laptop. She needed sleep. Badly.
When she woke up, she was laying with her head on her desk. Her back felt like it was going to fall off and she moaned as she was falling to the floor.
"Eeeek!" she squeaked as her her hit the carpet. She blinked, taking the high white ceiling and the elegant chandelier that provided light in her large room. She turned her head tiredly, scanning her room and all it's white furniture and fancy dressers and paintings. Four high arched windows scaled the back wall, with her canopied bed in the middle. She sighed, reminding herself that she really hated this room.
"Princess? Is anything wrong? I heard you shriek."
Virgo appeared out of nowhere, yet before Lucy knew it she was standing right beside her.
"Aaaagh! Don't just pop in out of nowhere," Lucy whined, pushing herself off of the ground and sitting up with her legs crossed.
"Yes, Princess," Virgo deadpanned.
"And don't call me Princess!"
"Yes, Princess."
Oh, this was going to be a loooong day.
Hours later she was sitting at her desk at school, very bored with math and frankly needing some more sleep. She shut her eyes slowly, hoping no one would notice. The bell rang.
She groaned enough for the students around her to hear, and slowly got up from her table. Perhaps it wouldn't have been such a bad morning but the fact that Homecoming game was around the corner and she had to practice all her cheers, didn't leave a good taste in her mouth.
Walking sluggishly through the hallways, she inwardly thanked Principle Makarov for letting the cheerleaders have the option of wearing their team-spirited sweatpants to school; if she so as much as had to wear a short skirt or khakis in this kind of mood, she probably would've quit life and get in her bed. She also thanked him for the free period that had earned for two weeks straight - strictly for practicing purposes, but still.
Reaching the field, she spotted her team and jogged to them. Usually, she was as chipper as can be and enjoyed talking gossip about the hottest football players, talking about their manicures, and working on their cheer. Today? Not happening. In fact she swore to herself that she wouldn't go past eleven at night anymore, at least until the Homecoming rage was through and she could actually think of other things instead of peppy cheers.
Reaching her teammates, she gave a brief smile and asked if everyone was ready to begin. Her co-captain, Yukino, looked at her oddly and scowled, "Uh, Lucy? Are those eye bags?" Widening her eyes, she immediately brought her hand to her face before bringing it down and shaking her head, "Does it matter? Let's jog once around the field, before the guys get here." Her hand had slowly moved to her chin, her head cocked and facing upwards as she thought, "After, I guess we can practice our cheer and strategize our positions..."
"Oh my gosh, here they come~!" Flare squealed, her red hair was sticking out in odd places with the messy bun she had tried to do, "Ugh~!"
The others girls began joining in, huddled and hugging each other while fangirling. Captain and Co-Captain's Lucy and Yukino stood in the sidelines, hands on their hips and eyeing the thirty-something men walking out of the men's locker room and into the field.
Looking at her captain, Yukino spoke, "Seriously... those eye bags look terrible on you. What the hell were you doing last night?"
Biting her lip, Lucy thought up a quick excuse, "Studied like hell last night for Macao's test next period, plus my dad was meeting up with a bunch of businessmen." She didn't dare tell her the truth, that she was playing an online game, her status quo was simple: popular people don't do nerdy things, unless they want social suicide.
Yukino stared at her for a moment and shrugged, "Your dad is always pulling that shit on you. Does he not realize he has a teenage daughter?" Lucy smiled at her then, before pouting and turning towards the girls.
"Since you wasted the only time we had to ourselves to run, we will be jogging with the guys."
Although she tried to make it seem like punishment all of them squealed and began jogging, some trying to catch up with the boys who were purposefully now waiting for the girls to join their jog. Feeling annoyed, Lucy quickly sprinted ahead of the girls to try to have some time to herself; of course, that wouldn't last. Ahead of her was the football team's star player and clearly the schools modern idiot, Natsu Dragneel.
He wasn't running as fast as usual, since he'd be already done with his lap right now, and Lucy could tell from the fact that he was alone that he wasn't really feeling 'hyper'.
"Hey," she called out to him, wondering what the deal was. He ignored her. If there was anything that made her days in school a little less annoying, was usually getting into an argument with this buffoon. They never really got along, but they enjoyed that about themselves - well, at least Lucy looked at it that way. He was always boasting about his winning streak and fighting anyone who told him otherwise.
"HEY!" she yelled loudly, sprinting to catch up with him and grabbing his shoulder. It confused her why he was down and instinct just begged her to find out. This wasn't normal, no, not at all. For some reason this idiot alway knew when she was around, saying something about her smell, and would be already bringing crude jokes to view.
"What's wrong?" she asked bluntly. Usually, at about this time he would smirk and say something indecent like 'your face' or 'the fact that you're speaking' which would lead her to kicking his ass from here to Hong Kong.
He narrowed his black eyes down at her. "I lost," he said, his voice sounding hollow.
"What?" she asked incredulously.
"I said, I lost!" He was louder this time. They'd both stopped running, her hands on her hips and his arms crossed firmly. Some of the runners started passing them, giving them weirded-out, or in the case of some of the girls, contempt looks.
"Lost what?"
"I lost this, uh-" he cut himself off, bending down to till their noses were almost touching. Apparently this was a gesture of intensity and back-off-ness between guys, but to a girl like Lucy, it was definitely not. "- game," he ended awkwardly, still staring at the girl's face. She narrowed her eyes and backed up, her neck stretched as far away from him as possible.
"Uck! Get away from me!"
Natsu rolled his eyes. Lucy tripped as she backed up, falling onto her butt and making dust fly everywhere. She looked incredulously at the dust and the fact that her ass would now hold a dirt mark, and groaned loudly, "You idiot!"
Holding out his hand and chuckling, Lucy took it and dragged him down to the floor with him. He landed face first into the dirt and felt a gag-sensation as he lifted himself with both his hands. Looking over at a demonically smiling Lucy, he spat out dirt and looked at her with the same glare, "You bi-"
"Ah, ah, aaah," Lucy sang as she had one finger up and moving side to side, "respect thy beautiful lady, and help her get up."
"Why the hell should I!" He screamed, getting up and looking around the field as he saw his teammates still running around. Looking back down at her, he drew up an eyebrow at her pouting face, "I'll say sorry..."
Looking down again and to the side, the blonde placed her best imitation of an apologizing person. "It was rude of me to pull you down when you were just trying to help me off the floor."
Rolling his eyes yet again, he stood up and grumbled 'fine' before pulling her up off the ground. She giggled lightly and jogged a little forward, sticking out her tongue at him.
"Where the hell is my sorry?!" he fumed, stomping over to her. She stuck out her lug just as he walked near her, making him fall again onto the dirt. "Too late~!" she chimed.
"YOU TRICKED ME!" he yelled, spitting out more dirt. Lucy brought her hands across her stomach as she laughed out loud. Looking down, she winked at him,
"Did not! I just OUTSMARTED you!"
She started jogging again, away from Natsu, with a smile on her face. Now she would be ready to practice her cheers and go on with the rest of the day.
Natsu stayed on the ground, his mouth slightly ajar, 'Celestialprincess12?' he thought. He scrambled up and out of the floor and looked over to his blonde... 'friend'. She was laughing with the stupid popular girls, flipping her hair and probably discussing the newest nail polish brand.
"Nah," he thought outloud, and ran to finish his lap.
"I told you before, just leave me alone!" The bluenette's voice rang out in the previously quiet library. She flinched and inwardly berated herself for screwing up the peace. She strategically sunk in her chair so that she was hidden by her big hard-backed book. Thankfully, the librarian chose to ignore her little outburst.
"Gihee," her adversary laughed quietly, "I never took you for the loud type, Shrimp."
"I'm not a shrimp," she snapped, careful to keep her voice down, "and I just told you to leave me alone."
Gajeel stared at her, his deep red eyes dark, before rising out of his seat unceremoniously and stomping out of the library. Levy sighed heavily, returning to her study of theoretical physics and trying to forget her previous predicament.
Meanwhile, the black-haired, heavily pierced boy was stomping through the halls. School was out, and he was about to get the hell out of there and wreak havoc somewhere else. His first source of entertainment, the little blue-headed shrimp, was now gone. Apparently she wasn't too keen on his visits to the library every few days. It had always been like that, ever since the beginning of the school year. He hadn't noticed her the year he was supposed to graduate, but she was waaay too fun to pick on. He wouldn't call them 'friends', necessarily, but they did know their way around each other.
Damn Shrimp.
He kicked a trashcan on his way out. Usually, he was too badass for such a petty-ass act, but he wasn't feeling himself. Maybe it was the time in the library. He'd have to lower the amount of time he spent there.
"Hey Gajeel!" He turned to see his usual buds. "Wanna have some fun around at the bar?"
"Nah. I got work tonight."
"Fuck."
"Huh. Smartass."
Truth was, Gajeel had the day off. It was a kind of embarrassing problem, but he'd kind of gotten addicted to an online RPG game. He had a duel this evening that he couldn't miss.
SO~ what did you think? Leave a review if you liked it! :D
