A young looking white haired beauty walked over to the bluenette and the blonde, and waved.
"Hello, Miss Lucy-sama!" She exclaimed happily and smiled warmly.
"Hi Mira." Lucy greeted with the same kindness, and went on. During the first greeting, Juvia stood awkwardly next to Lucy and waited for her time to greet and speak.
"I want to introduce you to Juvia, she is the transferred student I talked to you about a few days ago." she motioned towards the shy girl and Juvia smiled modestly. Mirajane grinned and caught Juvia's hands into her own.
"I am so glad to finally meet you Juvia!" she said still keeping Juvia's hands.
"Nice to meet you too, Mirajane-sama." Juvia replied and Mirajane frowned.
"Oh, you don't have to call me that. You can just call me Mira-chan. And you should do that for the rest of the students too. You should feel comfortable." She grinned again and Juvia felt more relaxed.
"Ok, Mira-chan. Juvia will do that."
"That's great. We'll be great friends from now on."
"I can see that the two of you will get along so well." Lucy mentioned and smiled.
"So Mirajane, I want you to help Juvia meet the rest of her…" as Lucy started to inform Mirajane about the further details of Juvia's tour around the academy's grounds, the blue-haired girl dozed off and her eyes focused fleeting on a specific raven-haired young man with a cross around his neck. The moment Juvia laid eyes on him, she felt a light shiver across her spine and her heart race with speed's light. 'Oh, no... he's coming over here...' She thought once more as she saw him walk towards their direction.
The man walked over and Juvia could see that he wore a pair of black pants and a white shirt with a loosened tie around his neck. The shirt itself was buttoned down quite a bit, and you could tell he was itching to take it off. She focused a little more and she noticed a small scar across his forehead, just above his right eye, but it was easily covered by his then, something that Juvia could only imagine as the most unexpected happened. He put his arm casually around Lucy's waist. "Hey." He smirked, his voice a little deep.
After Juvia snapped back a little bit abruptly in reality, Lucy warmly shook her hand once more, as the raven-haired man nodded his head in what seemed approval. "Juvia,I am sure that you will enjoy your student year here. Fairy Tail Academy is the best and certainly its treets anyone like family!" She exclaimed, as she started to point at the Raven haired man.
"This is Gray, he's actually one of your teachers, so it would be nice to be able to get on his good side." She smiled warmly, as her big brown eyes shown in the lights. Gray, who hadn't paid any attention to Juvia, he looked at her and when their eyes met he felt like something from the past was coming back to him, a memory he couldn't figure out just yet. He seemed to focus a little bit into Juvia's cerulean eyes, but the bluenette blushed and turned to face Lucy so the connection got lost. What was this familiar feeling, it was like I knew this girl from before, a voice into his head started whispering at him but he just shrugged it off. It's impossible, he thought. I am sure I just mistake her with someone else. It can't be her. He shook his head and just waved his hand.
"See ya'!" He called as they walked away together.
'Why was my heart beating like that?' Juvia thought, as Mira grabbed her hand once again, and walked towards a table where a few people sat. They approached the table and Mirajane started talking but she still couldn't take Gray's image off her head. And he's with the secretary. How unlucky she could get? He was her teacher and had a relationship? Good job Juvia.
"So guys, I want to introduce you to Juvia. She is a transferred student and we should all make her feel welcomed, don't you think?" Mirajane smiled and titled her head a little bit to the left.
"Hello and welcome to the Fairy Tail Academy. I hope you'll like it here." The scarlet haired girl offered her hand and fixed her glasses at the same time. "It's nice to have a new student around, and be sure that we all treat each other as family." Juvia had a moment to notice more details about the beautiful girl in front of her. She noticed that she had chocolate brown eyes that looked warmly at her, she had an imperial presence and Juvia could assume that she played a high and responsible role at the school's hierarchy.
"I'm Erza Scarlet and I am the school president of our class." The scarlet-haired girl introduced herself and Juvia reciprocated the greeting. "Juvia is happy to meet you, Erza." She smiled kindly and shook Erza's hand.
Next to her, there was a guy that sat casually onto the bench. He had short blue hair and he seemed a little bit taller than Erza. He wore a male school outfit with a nice and neat tie and he also wore a pair of pitch black boots. Juvia looked at his face and distinguished a red tattoo that circled his eye. He nodded at her and then looked at Erza, with what seemed like adoration or… love? He then turned at Juvia and waved.
"Hi, I am Jellal Fernandez." He greeted and Juvia noticed with the corner of her eye that Erza's cheeks had turned a scarlet color that matched her hair. These two are in love, how sweet, she thought and then gloomed a little bit. Would she find anyone to care for her as these two seemed to care for each other? She didn't have much time to feel depressed, as she turned to the next girl who was looking at her. That girl had long, slightly curly hair and held a bottle of what seemed… whiskey? She had also small blue eyes, that were very pretty.
"Hi, I am Cana." She mentioned. Was she drunk?
"Juvia is so glad to meet you all."
"Now, you are one of us Juvia. And we take care of our friends." Erza mentioned and Juvia believed her. After all these years, Juvia would finally have some true friends. And that was what she needed.
'Juvia thinks that coming to this Academy was one of the best decisions of her life.' She thought and just kept smiling and listening to her new friends talking about the academy, the teachers, the other students… It was the first day in a long time she smiled that much and she had a feeling that she could keep it that way for a long time to come.
