A/N Hallo Loves! I would just like to say, Rouge is OOC because he is more comfortable around Lucy than with anyone else.
I slipped my hoodie and jeans and sighed.
"I don't want to go to school," I moaned to myself.
"Too bad," I heard my mom call from the kitchen, "You're going and that's final."
"What if people recognize me?" I groaned.
"Then you'll have some friends," I heard her say, "For once," she added in a grumble.
"I heard that, you know!" I whined. So what if I didn't have friends most of the time? The last real friends that I had were the ones at the Fairy Tail schools over eight years ago. One day, we moved and I didn't have the courage to tell anyone, so I left my friends completely and utterly in the dark.
I secretly hoped they wouldn't recognize me, if they did, I would have to answer endless questions I wasn't up for. But the person I was most scared about recognizing me was Natsu Dragneel. We were kind of a 'thing' before I moved. Not official, but it was just kind of there.
I popped some toast in the toaster and leaned against the counter. I reassured myself no one would remember me because I went through this phase in middle school where I died my hair black for most of the time. That's what color it was when I moved. I really, really didn't want anyone to recognize me. I was snapped out of my thoughts by the toaster popping. I hummed as I spread butter on the bread and stuck the corner in my mouth. I chewed it carefully. I glanced at the clock and nearly choked on my food. I was almost late.
"Ma, I'm out!" I yelled as I grabbed my bag and car keys and ran out the door; I heard my mother's faint voice call out a farewell to me. I climbed in my Tesla Motors Model S car. I didn't bother to get the keys out of my pocket, but pressed a button and the car silently turned on. I tore out of the drive way and made my way to Fairy Tail High. I drove through the parking lot, attracting a lot of stares because of my amazing car. Mavis, I loved this thing! I parked the amazing, silent, electric car and got out. I pulled my hoodie up over my golden hair and reached for my school bag inside of the car. I silently walked into the school, ignoring all of the stares bestowed graciously upon me by the students of this school. I popped the last bite of toast I still hadn't finished in my mouth and wiped my hands on my jeans. I pulled out my ear buds connected to my iPod out of my pocket and tucked them in my ear. I pulled out the device and picked random song. Music blasted in my ears as I made my way to the principal's office. Principal Makarov was my grandfather, he said I could just go and pick my schedule up from him before I went to class.
"Gramps?" I called as I opened the door. I pulled out my ear buds and replaced them back in my pocket. I saw no one in there, but I did see my schedule on the desk, so I snatched it up and went across the hall to a different door. I opened it without knocking because it was the Vice-Principal, Laxus' office. Laxus was my older-by-seven-years brother. I walked in the office and froze. I hurried out and closed the door, a newly scarred girl. Laxus had MiraJane, his secretary/fiancé up against his desk, kissing her vigorously. I stared at the door, my eye twitching slightly. Do I pop in again and apologize for interrupting them, or do I pretend I never saw anything?
"Lucy?" I heard a voice inside, muffled by the door. There was shuffling and other noises coming inside before the door opened; I was still in my trance, so I didn't notice a hand being waved in front of me. "Lu?" I vaguely herd my brother's voice before fainting.
I woke up later in the nurse's office. I looked around the office to see a tall blond man standing by the door. He was looking through a phone, so he didn't see me wake up.
"Oi, next time you decide to make out with my future sister in law, lock the damn door," I told him as I got up off the bed. His head snapped up to me.
"You should knock," He stated.
"Lock the door and I would," I shot back.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, Lu," he rolled his eyes. He glanced at the clock and back to me. "You should get to class," he nodded to the clock. I followed his gaze.
"But they started thirty minutes ago," I observed.
"You're the Principal's granddaughter and the Vice-Principal's sister, do you think they will really care?" He lifted up his eyebrows.
"I guess not…" I said, a small smile creeping up my face. "Gotta to class now then," I said as I neared the door.
"Here's your schedule," He handed me a stack of papers which I accepted and looked over them.
I took off running towards my class. I knocked on the door. The teacher opened the door after a minute.
"Yes?" She looked very irritated by my interruption.
"Sorry I'm late," I smiled sheepishly at her from under my hood.
"If you're going to play hooky, you may as well miss the whole class!" She exclaimed. I opened my mouth a bit at her yelling at me. I quickly closed my mouth and puffed out my chest a bit.
"Well I'm sorry if I was in the nurse's office until a few minutes ago," I replied.
"And why, pray tell were you in the nurses office?" she scoffed. I lifted my eyebrows at her. I flicked down my hood and stared her down straight in the eyes.
"Truth be told, I fainted because of reasons you don't need to know!" I spat.
"If you're going to give me such bad excuses, you could at least deliver the lies better!" she scowled at me. That was my last straw.
"That's it; I'm taking this to Gramps!" I exclaimed. The disgust in her face was clear as day.
"I will not allow you to address Makarov-sensei with such a disrespectful name!" She grabbed my wrist and drug me down the halls. I struggled to get out of her grip but couldn't. She finally let me go when we were in front of Makarov's office. She knocked on Makarov's while I did the same on Laxus' door.
"What?" the doors opened at the same time and a tall blond man appeared in one and a short old man in the other.
"This woman forcefully grabbed my wrist and dragged me up here!" I told my brother.
"This young lady interrupted my class right in the middle and started spouting lies by the dozen because of her absence and she even called you Gramps!" She told Makarov as Laxus and I listened to her complaint.
"I came in the middle of class because I walked in on something I wish I hadn't and fainted! I was in the nurse's office, not ten minutes ago! And I only called him Gramps because this man is my Grandfather!" I shouted at her. It looked like she realized her mistake, because she froze, and then switched her gaze between Laxus and me then Makarov and me.
"I apologize deeply," She bowed very low.
"Mrs. Furakawa, you know forcefully putting a hand on a student is technically illegal, don't you?" Laxus asked. I stared up at him; it looks like he found a key point in the conversation. The woman froze and turned to me.
"Yes, but she—"
"It doesn't matter what the child did, it is illegal and should not be done under any circumstances." Makarov stated.
"I'm sorry, but you will have to hand in your resignation letter," Laxus told her. I looked at the floundering woman and then between my two relatives.
"It wasn't that bad," I said, waving my hands.
"Doesn't matter," Laxus said, "This is not the first time this has happened. This is the last strikeout." Laxus put a hand on my shoulder and steered me down the hall. "Gramps, I'm taking her back to class," he called over his shoulder, but Gramps had already taken the woman into his office. Laxus and I walked down the empty halls, our shoes clicking on the tile floor. When we got back to class I flicked my hood back up and Laxus opened the door for me. I walked into the deathly silent class. Everyone was staring at me and my brother who followed me in. "This is Lucy, she'll be in your class from now on, treat her kindly," he told everyone. "Go sit over there." He pointed to a seat by a black haired boy.
"Hey, Sparky," I turned and whispered up to him, "What about the teacher?"
"Well, since you decided to make us fire one of them, I will be subbing today," He said as he moved to the front of the desk. "Now get your butt over there!" He pointed over to my assigned seat. I saluted and took my seat by the boy. A girl with blue hair lifted her hand in the air, "Yes?" Laxus raised his eyebrows at the girl.
"Um… Well… I was wondering what happened to Mrs. Furakawa…" The girl asked quietly.
"Mrs. Furakawa no longer works at this school, I will be substituting today." He told everyone. "Today's a free day!" he declared as he sat back in his chair. Everyone was still as they stared at him.
"But why doesn't she work here anymore?" The boy beside me asked. I shrunk down in the seat a little.
"She laid a hand on a student," Laxus answered. Everyone's gazes turned to me. I shrunk even lower in the seat.
"May I have a bathroom pass, La- Ahem, Excuse, me, Mr. Dreyer?" I shot my hand up. He looked at me carefully before nodding. I stood up to get it. He handed it to me as I passed the teacher's desk. Once I was outside, I shot off in the direction of the bathrooms.
Okay, I might've lied when I said I didn't have any friends… I have four really close friends. I met them in school. Their names were Rouge, Sting, Yukino and Minerva.
Once I was to the bathrooms, I got my phone out. I typed a quick text and sent it. I swear it wasn't one minute before I got a reply.
Rouge: You okay?
Me: Nope, I just got a teacher fired!
Rouge: **slow clap** and everyone tells me I'm terrible...
Me: Shut up! It wasn't really my fault…
Rouge: Then whose was it?
Me: I'll tell you later, I gotta get back to class.
Rouge: M'kay, I'll call you later.
Me: Bye!
Rouge: Everyone says bye.
Me: Tell 'em I said not to get anyone fired, it sucks!
Rouge: Lol, sure thing, see ya later!
I slipped my phone back in my pocket and sighed. I stared off to the classroom. I opened the door and walked in. The room, which was quite loud while ago, went quiet once more. I stiffly walked over to the teacher's desk and gave the pass back to Laxus. He took it and smirked at me.
"Your first day isn't going so well," He observed.
"You're supposed to be concerned by that, Oniichan," I glared at him before returning to my seat. I pulled my hoodie over my head more and slumped in my seat. I could feel the stares boring into me. To distract myself, I pulled out my phone and sent a text out. I quickly got a reply.
Rouge: What happened to going to class?
Me: I forgot it's a free day…
Rouge: Why?
Me: Because I got the teacher fired.
Rouge: Lol, oh yeah, so who's the sub?
Me: Laxus.
Rouge: So your brother's babysitting you?
Me: I said shut up!
Rouge: yup, I read you.
Me: Lol, dork.
Me: Oh my goodness, everyone is staring at me! *Cries*
Rouge: You can't help you're so hot ;)
Me: I'm going to start talking to Sting if you don't quit it! L:
Rouge: Can't I call my best friend hot?
I couldn't help but blush as the comment. I was about to reply when I felt something heavy on my shoulder.
"What'cha doin'" I looked over to see the raven haired boy leaning his chin on my shoulder. I put my phone protectively against my chest.
"None of your business!" I exclaimed as I shrugged him off my shoulder.
"Take it easy, I just wanted to know what made you blush," He told me. I scowled at him.
"Like I said, none of your business," I told him before I returned to my phone, which had dinged, signaling I had a text message. I turned in my seat do I was angled away from the boy and read my message.
Sting: So… I heard you got a teacher fired! Congrats!
Me: I hate you, Sting.
Sting: Ouch, you hurt me right here!
I giggled at the mental picture. I could just see him pound his chest with his fist, right over his heart.
"Seriously, what's so funny?" The boy asked. I glared at him before dragging my chair next to Laxus' desk, with everyone staring and sat down in it and went back to talking to Sting.
Me: Good! Now leave me alone! I'm in class!
Sting: I thought you have a free day because you got a teacher fired…
I groaned. I put my phone in front of Laxus so he could read the text.
"News spreads fast," He observed.
"Because Rouge can't keep his dang mouth shut," I grumbled.
"You told a Saber?" His eyebrows rose. Most of the class quieted at the mention of a student from Fairy Tail High's rival school, Sabertooth high.
"My best friend," I corrected him. Some people gasped and others glared. I was about to address the matter further when my phone rang. I unlocked it and saw I had a new message. I opened the message and smiled.
Rouge: I'll take that as a no?
Me: Nope, you can say it all you want. No one else will.
Rouge: Yeah right, I bet you'll get a boyfriend by the end of the day.
Me: I bet you twenty dollars you're wrong.
Rouge: Fine, you're on!
I smirked at the thought of getting twenty dollars from Rouge.
I lifted up my phone and took a quick picture of some of the glares being sent my way and sent it to Rouge.
Me: As you can see, I'm not very popular.
Rouge: Damn, was it a favorite teacher or something?
Me: Nope, 'tis because of you.
Rouge: Me?
Me: Yes, Saber, I am a Fairy now.
Rouge: Oh….. Lol, its Romeo and Juliet.
Me: If you start hitting on me Rouge, I swear to Mavis…
Rouge: What? What could you possibly threaten me with?
Me: I'll tell Laxus L:
Rouge: Fine… Fine…
"Yeah, that's what I thought," I smirked to myself and hoped no one could see under my hoodie.
"Hey, Lu," Laxus called to catch my attention. I looked over to him.
"Hmm?"
"Mom invited me and Mira over for dinner tonight," he informed me. I slowly nodded my head.
"Okay! Good, you don't come over often enough!" I scolded. "Ma wants you to, but you always say no."
"This time she talked to Mira," he said.
I suppressed a giggle. "The Great Lightning Dragon is tamed by the She Devil!" I laughed at him while I pounded a fist against the desk. Everyone was staring at us once more, some were laughing at me.
"Would you quit it?" he hissed.
"Okay, okay," I wiped a tear from my eye, and then busted out laughing again. Before he could get onto me again, the bell rang.
"Yeah, yeah, just get out of here, you brat," he hissed at me as I went to go gather my things.
"You're starting to sound like Gramps," I told him as I neared the door. "See ya, Oniichan!" I blew a kiss at him. He scowled at me as I ran out the door.
