Chapter 2: Meeting Friends and Enemies

As I entered the classroom it was noisy. Most of my classmates were laughing, watching Gray and a pink-haired guy yell at each other. I didn't know what to do but Gray noticed me.

"Hey, Juvia!"

Everyone in the room turned to me. I felt embarrassed and simply smiled. But everyone welcomed me.

"Juvia is it?" A girl with yellow hair smiled at me. "I'm Lucy. Nice meeting you. And this is Levy," she introduced the girl who walked towards us. "Hi," she said. Then she called at her back. "Jet, Droy. Meet Juvia." The boys shouted their greetings and waved at me. "Hey, want a drink?" A girl asked holding a large bottle of wine. "Cana by the way." "Um…thanks, but Juvia doesn't drink," I replied. All of my classmates came to greet me or pound me on my back or wave at me or shake my hands. Then the pink- haired boy came and apologized for the prank. Gray started teasing Natsu again for his failure and they returned to their fight. Everybody laughed and I found myself laughing with them. Elfman joined the fight and everybody else did. Gray was right. Our classmates aren't so bad after all.

Mirajane came forward. "Well, it's good to see that you're enjoying here. Though there are times that we can be rude. But you'll get used to it."

"Juvia thinks you're right," I agreed with her.

"Here in Fairy Academy, we're all friends and we love each other very much"

I looked around the classroom and at my classmates "Yeah, right"

Mirajane laughed. "They're always like this. Fighting and playing pranks at each other. But trust me. We all love each other here. We prefer to do things together. We're not the type of team who leaves a member. When one is mourning, we mourn with them. And when they're sad or hurt we don't laugh at them. We help each other carry one's pain until that person is ready to celebrate and laugh with us again."

Mirajane laughed again. "Sorry if it's very corny or something. But I'm not making this up. It's the truth" She smiled and I smiled too. I believe her. Finally, the bell rang. Everyone turned to their seats. I sat at the empty seat beside the window. Gray was at my front and at my back was Lucy and Levy. Beside me was Mirajane and near her was an empty seat. I wonder who sits in there.

Then an old, small man entered the room. It seems that he is our teacher, sir Makarov. Everybody stood up and greeted him. When everybody was settled down he called for the class' attention and announced that there was a transferee. I knew he was talking about me and he asked me to introduce myself in front.

"Good morning, everyone. Again, Juvia is my name. Juvia Lockser. Juvia came from Phantom Academy." With that everybody gasped. Then everybody was looking at me in a funny way. I was shocked. Luckily, sir Makarov spoke, breaking the silence. "Thank you Juvia. Kindly take your seat. As we all heard from her awhile ago she's from Phantom Academy. I know that you have an ... unpleasant relationship with Juvia's past school but keep in mind that she's now your new classmate. And never judge her because of...where she came from. Do I make myself clear?

"Yes, sir" The whole class replied.

"Okay then. Let's begin the lesson", Makarov said.

I know what they were talking about. About the fight of Phantom Academy with Fairy Academy. Well, it was 2 years ago. A fight broke between students and many were injured. But Phantom Academy lost in the end. But I tried to forget about the fight. Besides, I'm a member of Fairy Academy now. And I guess they'll be very nice to me...

Rinnnnnngggg!

I didn't realize that the class was already finished. And its break and I didn't know who to eat with. I decided to eat on the top floor of the building-the rooftop because I saw that most students filed out to the canteen or to the park, fields and gardens. Did I mention the Academy was huge?

I tried to make my exit as fast as possible. Luckily, I was near my destination but I was stopped by a group of girls whispering and glaring at me. (A/N: I made up new characters here...)

"If it isn't the Phantom girl," The most gorgeous of them said. She was Belle if I remember correctly. She wore a miniskirt and a sleeveless pink top and her face was perfect with makeup.

"Please excuse Juvia," I hurriedly replied, not wanting to be caught in a fight on my very first day of school. But Belle's 2 assistant/friends - Annie and Amy - blocked my way. Their arms folded and their eyes were scrutinizing me.

"You think just because Mr. Makarov asked us to be good to you doesn't mean that we will be good to you." Annie said.

"Juvia doesn't care? Juvia just wants you to step out of my way. Now."I replied, anger rising in me. I know I shouldn't lose my temper but I've had enough of these bullies.

"We're going to make your life so not easy here. We'll make sure you regret the day you even thought of joining our school" Belle said.

"And I'll make sure you regret talking to her like that," a gentle yet strong and firm voice joined in.

The three girls were also startled by the new speaker. "Erza. We didn't know that-," Amy stammered.

"Did you hear her?" Erza said her hand pointed at me."She asked you to step out of the way."

"But she's-"Belle started to reply.

"Now!" Erza was stern and I think the girls knew better than to ignore orders from someone like her. Hesitantly, they moved away, giving me their last glares.

Silence settled between Erza and I. She was still scowling at the direction of the girls that left. She had beautiful scarlet hair and I know that she was someone you wouldn't want to mess with.

"Umm...Juvia is my name. And Juvia's just new here at the academy," I decided to say to break the silence.

"Oh right," It seemed that she just remembered that I was here. "I'm Erza Scarlet by the way." She smiled and her face lit up removing her scary expression and making her look even more beautiful. "You're the transferee from Phantom Academy right?"

I nodded.

"So, I'm going to see you around here, I guess. We're classmates by the way."

I guess my eyebrows rose because I didn't remember meeting her so she added: "Room A13? I wasn't present awhile ago because the principal called me. You met Mirajane and the others?"

"Oh yes. They're very friendly," I replied.

Erza showed another a smile. "Yes. Unlike the girls you met awhile ago. So would you like to eat with us in the park?" Then she looked at the direction I was supposed to go-the rooftop. "Trust me. That isn't where you would want to eat."

"Why?" I asked, curious.

"Oh. There are many people you wouldn't want to meet there too."She glowered at the direction. "Let's go," Her scowl disappeared and she led me towards the park.
