"I know how to drive a car, I can go to school myself." I sighed, crossing my arms in the backseat as Laxus, my eldest brother, drove us to Fairy Tail Academy. My second eldest sibling, Loke, was chuckling a little at my annoyance. "Oi, it's not funny Loke! I know you're pretty pissed too about having to skip out on picking up a certain Aries." I sat up and nudged his shoulder, and that seemed to shut him up.
"Touché." Loke said under his breath, and that sent Laxus laughing.
Alright, time for explanations. My name is Lucy Dreyar! And these are my two brothers, Laxus who is in twelfth grade, and Loke, who is in eleventh, with me. We attend the prestigious private school, Fairy Tail Academy, home of the Fairies! It's our first day back from summer vacation, and that means a whole new year I can end up looking forward to.
As we rolled up in the school parking lot, Laxus parked his Orange 4x4 and we all hurried out. Laxus and Loke were both really popular in our school, and they often todl me that I was popular, too. But I find a hard time believing it. As we walked in, Laxus split up after saying his goodbyes and headed towards the opposite side of campus. Loke and I had requested lockers fairly close to eachother, since it would be easier in case we got our lunches mixed up or something.
I was greeted at my locker by my two closest friends, Levy McGarden and Erza Scarlet. Erza and Levy have been along longer than I have, since me and my brothers only transferred here last year once we heard out grandfather was the new principle.
"Hey, Lu-chan!" Levy greeted, smiling at me as she handed me a novel. "I got it form the school library, hottest book of the season, I already read it, like four times, and I recommend it!" She smiled, the short bluenette running up to give me a hug to which I returned with glee. She said hello to my brother and they began chatting.
"Lucy!" Erza exclaimed, running up to me next and giving me a heart crushing hug. Literally, she was crushing my heart and lungs. "I hope I get elected for class president again!" You see, everyone is afraid of Erza, even Laxus gets little shivers around her. And it's not only because he thinks she's good looking. Erza is a master at kendo, and she's the raining champ all over Magnolia. Everyone in our grade calls her; Titania, Queen of the Fairies. She's also really protective, almost as much as Laxus and Loke.
"Hi Erza, Levy-chan. I missed you guys so much!" I laughed, and Loke soon got swarmed by a bunch of girls. After I got my books we all decided to swarm away, and I swear I could hear a distant "Lucy you traaaaaitor!" coming from where we left. I snickered a little, and when I was questioned, said it was nothing.
"Hey, do you think Jellal will be in the same homeroom as me?" Erza giggled. You see, even if she is some terrifying bad ass, she's also a girl. With girl feelings. Levy and I giggled as her cheeks tinted a light pink.
"You guys are so cute. Ne, ne, do you think Gajeel will talk to me again this year?" Levy fawned, and this time it was Erza and I laughing. "N-Not that I want him to or anything! I mean, what a creep!" She tried to cover up her outburst, and that just made me and Erza laugh harder. She's such a tsundere!
The two beautys both looked at me, Levy getting all up in my grill, Erza not far behind, and they both whispered; "I wonder where Graaaaaaay is, ne, Lucy?" My cheeks went scarlet, almost competing against the rich color of Erza's hair. I stepped back, waving my hands in front of myself while repeating, 'no no no no no.'
I've had a crush on Gray Fullbuster since I started at this school. He's always so nice, and cool, and he smells so much like vanilla icecream, it's amazing. Some people say that's all he eats, but I've seen him chew on some ice before.
Ten minutes before the bell chimed, Erza, Levy, and I ran up to the large bulletin board and searched for our names. We were all in the same class! Along with Gray, Jellal, Gajeel, Natsu, Lisanna, Loke, a few others, and...
"Who's Juvia?" I asked my two best friends, after we were done squealing and we began headed towards 2-A, our new homeroom. They both looked at each other, and gave a long sigh.
"Oh yeah, you weren't in her class last year." Levy began. "She's this girl who is literally, die hard obsessed with Gray. Like, this chick's locker was filled to the brim of CIA shots of every angle of the poor kid, she's the reason he didn't come to school that week. He got love letters up the ass last year just from her!"
"I thought those were just some fangirls..." I heard Gray had a stalker last year, but damn, for it to be this bad, and we're all in the same class together? Poor Gray... And then, relization hit me.
"Wait, SHE LIKES GRAY?" Screw Gray, POOR ME! Erza patted my back, while Levy began pulling out a box of tissues.
"She can't do anything, and if she tries, I'll take her down a notch." Erza threatened, clenching her fist with an evil glint in her eye.
"P-Please don't kill anyone..." I begged, as we took our seats in the back row. As we sat down and began chatting, Gray, Loke, Jellal, Gajeel, Natsu, and everyone else all walked in at the same time. They were all hollering and Gray and Natsu were in another argument. They both turned to me, and when Gray pointed in my direction, I knew I was going to get in the middle of it.
"LUCY!" They both yelled, running up to me at the speed of light.
"Flame brain over here thinks summer is better than winter!"
"Shut up, ice princess! Anyone would agree that summer IS better than winter!"
"DO. I. HEAR. FIGHTING?" Erza growled, getting otu of her seat and making everyone shut up right then and there. Gray and Natsu quicky hooked their arms around each other, an pretended to act like best buds, making everyone in the classroom laugh. We all talked, Gray and I were talking about our summers, while everyone else was talking about who the new teacher was going to be. The bell rung and everyone quickly hurried to the nearest seats, all of the guys sat in front of us so we could easily talk to each other.
"Ah, Gray-sama!" I turned my head a little to the right so I could see the girl who was quickly running up to Gray, and then I saw his face visibly pale. "Who are you talking to?" Juvia quickly looked at me, venom laced in her tone and if looks could kill, I'm sure I'd be six feet under by now. "Listen here, love rival-" Did she honestly just call me a love rival? "-Gray-sama is Juvia's! Juvia is Gray-sama's! Don't even try to interfere with our love!"
"Juvia, leave me the hell alone!" Gray turned around unable to exaggerate his pleas anymore. Juvia quickly hurrie doff to the seat near the front, and everyone let out a breath they didn't know they were holding.
"Alright. Everyone shut up and listen." Looks like our new teacher was here.
