Dragneel-san ran towards the noise first with the rest of us following behind. My eyes go wide with shock when I saw two people I never saw before. The man was getting bald, more like he was losing hair.
But it was blue with a tin of grey with a somewhat still growing mustache. The boy was around our age, he had dark purple hair and big bright eyes that still showed childhood innocence. I look to the ground which revealed broken test tubs.
"Romeo, you getting in trouble again?" Dragneel-san muttered towards the young boy who jumped in surprise. "Natsu-nii! Gah! Who's that man that looks like you?!" He pointed towards me and I hid behind Lucy-san. Lucy-san grabbed my hand.
"Natsu-san, introduce yourself." She smiled at me which had me blushing pink. The man and Romeo cried. "Natsu-san?!" They yelled together which made me shrink behind her more.
Gray stood up for me. "Hey knock that off, your scaring him." Romeo coughed and blinked a few times. "Um, Natsu-nii? Who's that guy behind Lucy-nee?" Dragneel-san didn't think twice about pulling me from behind Lucy-san and shoved me out and into the open in front of the two I never saw before.
"Oiy, Fireball, I thought you said you knew everyone at this school was like the ones from your school?" Gajeel groaned as I didn't say or move for a few minutes. I stammered.
"I-i-I do, but I've never seen these two from my school so I don't know who they are." Levy came up to me. "That's Romeo and that's his Dad, Macao. He's one of the science teachers at this school." Levy helped introduce me.
"Oh so your that new kid from that strange school." Macao replied as he pulled out a bottle of booze from his desk. "Macao-senpai, you're not supposed to drink at school!" Juvia cried out as she washed the bottle from his hand from where she stood.
I ended up meeting Gildarts who wasn't at my school who was a history teacher, Laxus, the principal's grandson who I never saw at the school including the principal himself.
There was someone who walked to us as the guys and girls lead me to the cafeteria since it was lunch time. I saw snow white short hair and piercing sky blue eyes. "Lisanna?" I almost fell on my ass because my legs froze in there spot. "Dragion? No way… Dragion!" She cried almost dropping her books to come crashing into me just to hug me tight. My eyes almost teared up as I hugged her close.

Lucy-san ended up staying with me till the end of the day, Levy, Wendy and Gajeel had to go study, Gray left to get something to eat with Juvia after school ended. So it was just me with Lucy-san and Dragneel-san. My phone rang in my pocket singing my favorite song.
"Hello?" I asked as I picked it up. "Natsu how was it at Magnolia?" Lucy Ashley was on the other line. "It was good I got to meet your counterpart." I giggled a bit trying to hide the fact that I knew she was coming to get me from the school. "Was it different?" she asked politely which isn't her usual self.
"You ok, Ashley-san?" I asked kind of worried since she never talked like that. "I'm fine, I'm coming to the school to walk home with you." She hung up on me. Lucy-san saw my worried expression. "What's wrong?" I looked at her. "She sounded sad almost. I'm worried about her." I sighed a bit but straightened up so Lucy-san wouldn't worry about me.
Few minutes later… I saw Lucy Ashley-san crash through the gates of the school. "Yo!" she smiled as she walked up to me. "Thanks for taking care of him, Heartifilia-san, Dragneel-san." She ended up giving me a nuggy. "I hope he was being his good self like usually!" I cried in pain. "Lucy-kun, you're hurting me!" I winced once she stopped but didn't expect her to hug me. "Baka, I was worried about you all day." She sniffled a bit. "Lucy-kun…" I was scared now cause my best friend never cries in her life.
She leaned back but to my surprise she was faking it. My eyebrow twitched with insult. "And to think I thought you missed me." I bluffed my smart attitude towards her which made her play along. Lucy-san was confused. "Are you upset with him or what, Ashley-san?" my best friend just smirked.
"Nah, I knew he'd be good on his first day without me getting him into trouble." I got a little mad. "I don't mind getting into trouble with you, Lucy-kun!" I looked into her eyes revealing my hurt feelings which shocked her. I shook my head and took off running back towards where I lived.
Edo Lucy's POV
Earlier that same day
"That baka. I hope he's doing ok. Making me worry like this, it's not my style!" I huffed as I walked into class. "Oiy, Lucy!" I heard Gray call my name. "What, freak? Take some of those clothes off, you'll over heat!" He wore like 5 t-shirts including a sweater and a jacket. "What happened to Natsu?" He asked like I haven't told him 5 times on the phone.
"I got him expelled, that's what!" I yelled at him breaking my desk in half. "Where does he go now?" Juvia asked she was wearing her usual cut of shirt that showed off her bust, with suspenders and shorts. "Some place called Magnolia High." I muttered. Cana murmured while sipping tea. "Isn't that where that rough Houser, Dragneel goes to? Hope he'll be ok. "
I kinda worried the entire day but I didn't let Natsu get a hint of that when I texted him.
Now…
I was shocked when Natsu ran off not even saying goodbye to the two who helped him out today. "Arigato, for helping my friend with his first day. It's been a day and he only sent me 5 texts within that day. Seems like this place will be good for him, since you people are caring." I looked up at the now orange sky. Dragneel kicked me. I fell forward.
"What was that for?!" he pointed in the direction that my friend went in. "Go talk to him. You're his best friend aren't you?" I opened my eyes like I had been smacked and realized something.
"Why?" I asked solemnly. Heartifilia smacked me and I didn't hit her back because I deserved it for being a lousy friend to Natsu-kun. "Only you can talk to him. He had it rough because most of the people here were too upright with him and I bet he's still trying to get out of his awkwardness with the students here!"
I hugged Heartifilia. "Thank you for opening my eyes. We'll met again." I rushed off to find Natsu-kun, the only true friend I've ever had.
Edo Natsu's POV
I ran. I never stopped not until I reached my house. I was afraid of what I felt for Lucy-san, my best friend's counterpart. I felt pathetic, I should be falling for my best friend not her opposite personality. "I'm the worst." I sobbed. I heard hard footsteps, then my front door slamming open to reveal my best friend standing, out of breath like she ran a marathon.
"Lucy-kun." I murmured, still ashamed of her seeing me cry. I tried to wipe my eyes before Lucy touched my cheek. I froze when I saw how worried she was once again. "Don't do that again." She sighed then held me close to her. I had to do it. I leaned in a captured her lips with mine and she didn't even try to bite me for pulling a fast trick on her.
She didn't push and neither did I but the kiss grew from slow to fast till I had to pull away or faint from lack of air. I gasped. I saw Lucy's eyes tear up a bit. "Finally, I thought you'd never do it." She covered her face.
I gasped and stared at her. Is Lucy-kun in love with me? I thought to myself. She pulled me close again. And somehow…. She fell asleep….

"Nani?!" I cried out as she starts murmuring in her sleep of beating up Levy, her mortal enemy. I sighed then picked her up with the strength I could muster and layed her on my bed so I could go sleep on the couch.
"You're so strange, Lucy Ashley-kun. But I guess that's how I like it with you." I whispered as I closed the door behind me and walked to the couch.
