Meeting New Friends

Back to the story, Lucy is running to her school when she bumps into a certain someone with a long blue wavy hair. She landed with a thud and turn to apologize to the person who bumps into her but stopped when she saw a little girl about 14 years old. She regains her composure and helps the poor girl up.

The girl cried out, "I'm so sorry, miss! Thank you for helping me." Lucy smiles at her and introduce herself, "it's okay, my name is Lucy Heartfillia, what's yours?" "My name is Wendy Dragneel. Nice to meet you, Lucy-san!" "Nice to meet you too, Wendy-chan!" "Ah! I need to meet my brother now, bye Lucy-san!" "Bye Wendy-chan!"

Lucy smiles at Wendy's retreating figure. She suddenly realizes that she's late, "Ahhhhh! I'm going to be late!" She rushes to school and saw a commotion at the school gates. She saw a guy with pink hair with a drop dead gorgeous body walking into school with a black hair guy while some girls... No screw that, the whole school of girls fangirling over him. She stops at the sight of the pink hair guy.

She had to admit his body is fit, but his pink hair won the all of her attention. 'Who the hell dyes his hair pink of all color?' she thought but the school bell rang her out of her thoughts as she rushes to school. 'Shit! I forgot to get my schedule' she cursed while trying to find some students for help desperately.

And just like before, she bumps into a student and landed with a thud. 'Not again…' she sweatdrops. She looks up and saw a student with light blue hair, rubbing her forehead and groaning. She instantly helps the poor student up while sighing, 'really, I keep bumping into everyone on the first day of school' The girl saw Lucy and beam, "Thank you so much! I'm sorry if I didn't look at my way, I was too caught up in my book just now. My name is Levy, Levy McGarden. What's yours?"

Lucy couldn't help but smile at the girl's politeness, she replies, "I'm Lucy, Lucy Heartfillia. I'm a new student here and sorry to you too. I was caught up in my thought trying to find the schedule here that I didn't ... Oh my Mavis! Isn't that Mavis Vermillion's the Tenrou Arc?!" Levy is caught by surprise at this, but smiles even wider and said excitedly, "Yes! How do you know it? Have you read her latest book, the Tartarus Arc? It's so touching! I love the movie The Phoenix Priestess, I really cried in the end!"

"Yes of course! I love her books, it's the best in the whole world! The Tartarus Arc is simply amazing! And yes! I simply love the Phoenix Priestess, it's sooooo touching! Oh, do you read Zeref's books before? I love the…Oh my Mavis! I'm really late!"

Levy look worriedly at her friend and it clicked into her mind, "Ah! You are looking for the schedule! Come with me!" Lucy trailed behind Levy while Levy searches her name and found her schedule.

"Yay! You are in the same class as me!" "Really? That's awesome! Am I in the same class with you the whole weekend?" A frown appears on Levy's face and said, "No…just Monday, Tuesday, and Friday…but at least we could be in the same class on your first day." "That's great! I'm really looking forward…" A bell rang and Lucy cried out, "Crap! The first period just went?!" Levy looked confused at first but suddenly laugh, "Oh Lu-chan! School starts at 8: 30! But you're right, we should go to our class now"

Before they could step into their class, a commotion started at the corridor, "Natsu-kun~, don't leave me! Let's skip the class together~" Lucy saw the pink hair guy again, but he looks annoyed and disgusted. He just ignored the white hair girl and talk to the black hair guy. She shrugged and follows Levy to her new class.

But just as they step into the class, two figures pounce on Levy, making both girls shriek. Lucy is horrified to see her new found best friend being attacked. She cried out, "Levy-chan! Are you alright? Levy-chan!" the said girl protested in embarrassment, "Jet, Droy! Get off me at once!" The boys refuse to let go of her, instead, they keep crying out, "Levy-chan! Where have you gone to just now?!"

Lucy peers worriedly at her best friend and asks, "Levy-chan?" Before Levy can protest again, a group of girls and their leader (at least that's what Lucy thinks) a black hair girl looks at Levy and snicker with her friends, "Oh my god, look at her! She's so short! If she gets any shorter, she's going to be engulfed by the guys!"

Suddenly, a black aura surrounded all of them, looming over them menacingly, before Lucy and the two guys could defend their friend. Levy replied in a cold voice, a voice that's way too cold for someone as cheery as Levy, "Jet, Droy, Get. Off. Me. NOW." Both of them at once step off about 8 meters and both hugging and shuddering in fear. Levy gives a reassuring smile to Lucy before storming dramatically slow to the group of girls. The group of girls at once scurry off, leaving the black hair girl to deal with Levy.

Levy glares at her with all her might and snarls, "Say. That. Again" The girl didn't look a bit afraid, and simply comments, "Shorty" With that, Levy plunge herself to her and tried to punch her while Lucy stares at her in awe, eyes wide and gaping. Never in a million years would she believe that Levy could fight if she has not seen it with her eyes.

'Now is not the time to think' Lucy reminds herself before holding Levy back to prevent further damage. The black hair girl cried out, "How dare you! I will…" The next thing she knew, the girl is held back by the white hair girl before. However, the white hair girl has a kind of depression aura, making the black hair girl shut her mouth at once. Lucy could hear their small conversation, "What are you doing?! Lisanna! I need to teach that…" "Let's go, Minerva, now!" "A-ah, alright fine"

But before they went, Minerva smirks at Levy and said, "What a Shorty. You know, I'm really curious about your height." Levy widen her eyes in anger and screams, "Let go of me, Lu-chan! I need to teach that b**** a lesson! I can't f***ing believe her! Oh, is she really that tall?! She's just a piece of s***!"

Once again, Lucy can only gape at her friend. To think she of all people, had said something that... that…THAT kind of words. But then again, she had said it before... 'No! Now is not the time to think!' Lucy comforts her friend with all her might, "Calm down, Levy-chan. We all know that she's shorter than you. Please calm down, Levy-chan…"

Levy's heart melts at the desperate voice and the puppy eyes look Lucy gives her. She sighed in defeat, "Fine…" Lucy beams at Levy and hugs her, "That's my best friend!" She smiles at Lucy and hugs her back, but when she saw Minerva's smirk, she become furious again and her eyes quickly search for something, anything would do... She cried out to herself triumphantly to see her thick Science book lying on the floor.

She picks it up and with all her might and accuracy, flung it at Minerva's direction, and luckily, hit her right in the face when she's going to turn around and insult Levy again. As soon as the book makes an impact, she turns back to her cheery self. She gives Minerva one last devilish smirk before ignoring Minerva's glare and threats, turns to her best friend and said in a sing-song voice, "Let's go, Lu-chan~" Lucy could only sweatdrop at her best friend antics and fake a smile, "Y-yes, let's go, Levy-chan."

It turns out that Lucy and Levy arrive their class right in time before the bell rings. They sigh in relief and high-five each other. A woman steps inside and greets solemnly, "Morning, class. My name is Porlyusica. Firstly, welcome all of you to Fairy Tail High School. Most of you must be in Fairy Tail Middle-High School, but there are some of you who are new to here. So I will go through the school rules…" She paused for a few second.

Lucy watches Porlyusica intently but is surprised to see the uneasy look and a frown on her face. She clears her throat and continues, "Anyway, we need to go through our subject, so for those who are new, look at the rules yourself, it's here." Lucy sweatdrops, 'she just change the subject!' and face palm when she saw her lifting a 4-inch thick book and pass it to the students, ordering them to pass it to the new students, 'We are supposed to read this whole book?!' Porlyusica-san continues, "Give it back to me before recess!" Lucy gapes at her, 'like hell we could read it so fast! It's 4-inch for Mavis's sake!"

Porlyusica continues, "Alright, we will skip the 'introduce yourself' thingy as I don't really care about it." Lucy frowns, 'Okay...' "Alright class, take out your Science textbook. For those who didn't bring it, you will receive punishment" Lucy sighs in relief knowing that she did remember to bring it. 'How strict is this woman?'

She heard a noise beside her to see a frightened look on Levy's face, "Lu-chan! Save me, please! I can't find my textbook! And I don't want to break my good student record!" "Huh? I thought I saw you carrying that book with you in the morning, are you sure you didn't bring it?" Levy look through her bag messily and wail silently, "I really can't find it, Lu-chan! Maybe someone takes it! Maybe it slips off and…"

Levy at once sat up straight and her body froze in realization. She turns her head dramatically slow in Lucy's direction and replies, "…... I...I think I flung it at Minerva's face…" Lucy widens her eyes and looks troubled, "Levy-chan! Are you telling me…" Levy shut her eyes tightly for Lucy's outburst for her bad attitude, instead, "…that you didn't pick it up after you throw it to her?! That is bad, girl."

Levy silently sigh in relief and nods her head, "what can I do, Lu-chan?" Lucy looks at her puppy dog eyes that are about to cry and at once thinks of a way to help her best friend, 'Should I make an excuse to sneak out and get it for Levy? Or should I just receive the punishment instead? Hmm... maybe I should just sneak and grab Porlyusica's... No! Bad girl! Stealing is not an option!'

Suddenly, the door flung open and Lucy heard a lot of girls outside squealing and creating a huge noise, breaking their silence. Even the girls inside the classroom are squealing and gasping. She shut her eyes and blocks her hearing with her hand instantly. She opens her eyes again when the noise cleared to see the pink hair guy again.
