A New School
Natsu woke up at 7 am due to his alarm clock ringing loudly. He turned it off, stretches himself for a bit, and finally stood up from his bed. He went to the bathroom near Gray's room, washed his face and rinsed his mouth. Then he went downstairs. In their previous home, the trio would usually start their day like what Natsu did. Afterwards, they would meet at the dining area to have their breakfast before taking their baths.
Their staircase is near the entrance door of their house; beside it is the hallway where there are several doors, connected to other different areas of their house. The youngest boy wandered around aimlessly trying to find the dining area. He first opened the door near the entrance and saw their living room. He closed the door and tried another one. He saw their backyard, a garden filled with Mira's orchids and other flowers. Then he opened another door, but before doing so, he decided that he will call his brother's if this isn't the dining room. He opened it and saw their study room. He closed the door and yelled…
"Onii-san!" His scream was heard all throughout the first floor. Gajeel and Gray went running trying to find their youngest brother.
"Natsu, what are you doing at the study room?" Gray asked
"I…I…" Natsu answered as if he is about to cry.
"No need to cry Natsu. Come on, let's go to the dining. And Gray stop teasing Natsu." Gajeel told them while trying to comfort the youngest boy.
"I'm not teasing him. I was just asking." Gray answered with his eyes wide open in surprise.
They walked back to the dining area. Natsu held Gajeel hand tightly so that he won't get lost. The eldest boy just smiled at his younger brother. When they arrived, Mira and Freed are already seated waiting for the three of them. Natsu finally let go of his brother's hand and walked towards his parents.
"Good morning, mom. Good morning, dad." Natsu said before sitting at the chair beside Mira.
"Good morning Natsu." They answered the little kid with a smile.
Freed, being the head of the family sits at the shorter side of the table; Mira and Natsu are beside each other while Gajeel and Gray are across them respectively. The family had their breakfast and had a little talk about their agenda for today before the trio took their bath. Gajeel took his bath first, followed by Gray then Natsu. The kids changed their clothes and went downstairs where they saw Freed and Mira waiting for the three of them. Then they boarded their car. Freed took the driver's seat while Mira is beside him. At the back, Natsu rode first, making him in the middle. Gajeel on his left and Gray on his right.
While on the car…
"Where are we going dad?" Gray asked
"To your new school."
"Is it far?" Natsu asked
"No, it isn't that far." Mira answered.
"Are you excited?" She added. Natsu nodded and smile at his mom.
Gajeel who was quietly staring out the window saw some kids, particularly a group of girls, but what caught his attention is a blue-haired little girl, who he assumed to be somewhat alike of Gray's age, wearing a bright yellow dress.
"What are you staring at, Onii-san?" Natsu asked
"Nothing"
"Oh… okay." Natsu said
"It can't be nothing; you even looked back after we passed by it." Gray butted in his brothers' conversation.
Gajeel sighed. "Why does Gray have to be smart?" He thought to himself as he try to think of a way out of it.
"It's really nothing, Gray." He's hoping that by this time, Gray would believe.
"Really? But…" Gray was interrupted by Mira who said that they finally arrived. Gajeel sighed in relief knowing that Gray's attention was diverted to the school.
The trio went out the car and saw several really huge buildings.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail Academy. This will be your new school." Mira told his boys.
"Really?" Natsu said excitedly as they have heard a lot of great things about this school.
Mira nodded and smiled as her boys are excited about entering the said Academy.
They entered the building and saw the guard named Reedus Jonah.
"Good morning!" Reedus greeted the family with a smile
"Good morning. Where can we find the guidance office?" Freed asked
"Miss Cana, over there, would gladly show you the way." Reedus answered pointing to a lady at the information counter.
"Thank you." Mira said with a smile before leaving Reedus.
In the information counter, they saw a slender woman wearing a white long-sleeved blouse, a dark blue skirt extending up to her knees and a pair of black heels.
"Good morning." Mira said with a smile
"Good morning! I'm Ms. Cana Alberona, how may I help you?"
"We are looking for the guidance office." Mira said.
"Then please allow me to show you the way."
The Justine family followed Ms. Alberona towards a room at the end of the hall. As they walked, the kids can't help but to stare at the school.
"Why are there no kids around? Today's Monday." Gray asked
"That's because today is a school holiday. It is the death anniversary of the founder of the school, Madam Mavis Vermilion. But technically, today should be the start of the school year." Cana answered
"Gray's really observant." Gajeel thought
After a few more walks…
"We are here. Mr. Clive, our guidance counsellor, will be of service soon. Please make yourself comfortable."
"Thank you, Ms. Alberona" Freed said.
"My pleasure. Hope to see you three in this school soon." Cana said to the three kids.
The Justine family walked in the room. They saw a desk with papers at the side of the table beside the name of the counsellor. They took their sit inside the room. Then a tall guy went in the room.
"Good morning. My apologies for taking too long. I am Mr. Gildarts Clive, the guidance counsellor of the school."
"Good morning!" The trio said
Mr. Clive gave the family a brief introduction about the school and how their curriculum works. Afterwards, there application forms were handed out to Mira and Freed.
"How did you find the entrance exam?" Gildarts asked the kids. Since their transfer from their old home was due to Freed's job; his boss, Laxus Dreyar, fixed all the things needed by them, included the school in which the kids will transfer into. Due to that, the kids took their entrance test at their previous school.
"It wasn't that easy." Natsu said while trying to hide at Freed's back.
"I see. Which part did you find the hardest?"
"I don't… know… there are questions that I really find hard." Natsu replied
After Freed and Mira answered all the required items in their application form, it is time to interview the kids. Mira and Freed stepped out of the room, leaving the kids and Mr. Clive inside the room. Gajeel took the liberty of introducing themselves.
"I'm Gajeel, 9 years old. And this are my younger brothers. Gray is 7 years old while Natsu is 5."
"Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Clive" Gray said with a smile.
Natsu, on the other hand, was hiding behind his brothers.
"Natsu don't be shy." Gray said as he tried to pull Natsu out.
"Sorry. Natsu is really like this when he is around people he barely knew." Gajeel said defending his brother's action.
"There is no need to worry. I can understand. Come on Natsu. There is no need to be shy." Gildarts said
"But… Onii-san." Natsu said as he gripped Gajeel's shirt tighter. Gildarts just smiled before saying that he won't force Natsu. Then he said that the three boys will start their classes tomorrow. He also told the boys to come see him first thing tomorrow morning because he will personally introduce the boys to their homeroom teachers. With that, they finally went out of the counsellor's office where they saw Mira and Freed sitting by the side of the door. The boys excitedly told them that they will be starting tomorrow. With their enrolment settled, the family decided to went home.
Before they rode the car, Gajeel asked Gray to exchange seats with him. So now at the back seat of the car, Gajeel was on Natsu's right while Gray was on the left. Just like when they were on their way to the school, Gajeel stares outside the window. He was hoping to see that blue-haired young girl he saw before. But alas, he failed. That girl was not there anymore. When they arrived home, the family spend the rest of their day inside their home.
The Next Day…
Natsu's alarm clock rang at 7 in the morning. It was since classes in Fairy Tail Academy starts at 8:30 in the morning. The travel time from their home to school is just 30 minutes, so they have 1 hour to prepare themselves. Just like yesterday, Natsu went to the bathroom; then went to the dining room. When he arrived…
"Haha…" Natsu laughed hard that the rest of his family members looked at him strangely.
"Why are you laughing hard Natsu?" Mira asked his young boy.
"I wasn't lost!" Natsu said proudly.
"yeah… Congrats." Gray said teasingly. Natsu pouted his lips due to his annoyance to his brother.
"Stop it Gray. Well Natsu, I told you you'll get used to our new home." Gajeel said. Natsu then nodded and smiled at his brother in response.
The family did their morning routine before they head out to bring the kids to school. Mira and Freed plans to just drop the kids to school before going into their jobs.
At school…
"Bye mom. Bye dad." The trio bid their farewells before going into the school.
As they entered the school, they saw a lot of kids. Some were sitting under the tree, some were walking towards the school building and some were running around.
"Let's go to the guidance office." Gajeel told the both of them.
Gajeel knocked on the door of Mr. Clive's office then they went in.
"Good morning boys." Gildarts said
"Good morning sir!" The boys said happily. Then they heard the school bell rang three times.
"Shall we be on our way?" The boys nodded in agreement in Gildarts's question.
They first went into Natsu's classroom. They saw a tall, slender guy at the platform in front of the classroom. He is Mr. Macao Conbolt, the homeroom teacher. Natsu's kindergarten year starts as of today. He entered the room and bid farewell to his brothers. Then Gildarts, Gray and Gajeel went to the Grade 1 pupils' classroom. They entered one of the rooms and saw a woman standing in the platform just like how things were in Natsu's classroom. This lady is Ms. Bisca Mulan. She's going to be Gray's homeroom teacher for the year. Then Lastly, Gildarts and Gajeel went into the Grade 3 pupils' rooms. They entered class 3-A where they saw a huge muscular guy roaming around the classroom. Gildarts told Gajeel that it was Mr. Jura Nekis. The three kids were finally introduced to their teachers and classmates.
At Natsu's Classroom…
"Hi, I'm Natsu Justine. Nice to meet you."
Since it is time for the class team building activity, they sat on a mat placed at the middle of the room. A little blonde-haired girl sat beside Natsu.
"Hi Natsu, I'm Lucy."
"Hello Lucy."
At Gray's classroom…
"Good Morning. I'm Gray Justine."
"Gray's going to be a part of this class and since he's a new student, I want you to guide Gray in this school." Ms. Mulan told the class in which they agreed upon.
"For your seat… How about that space in between Juvia and Erza?" Then Bisca pointed out his seat and started with their lecture for today.
Lastly, At Gajeel's classroom…
"Hello, I'm Gajeel Justine. It's my pleasure to meet you."
"Gajeel please take the seat near the window, beside Levy." Mr. Nekis said while pointing out at a vacant seat.
He did not notice the girl beside him. He just walked towards his appointed seat and listened to the lecture. It was only until Levy spoke to him.
"Hi, I'm Levy. If you have any questions about the school, then feel free to ask me." Levy said with a smile. But instead of answering, Gajeel was surprised to see that his seatmate is the young blue-haired girl who caught his attention yesterday.
"Th…Thanks" Gajeel answered with a smile.
The rest of the day passed by, the trio of Justine kids enjoyed their new school, their new friends and new experiences. Then, the school bell rang again, indicating that the school day has finally concluded. Today, all students from all levels have a half-day. It is because today is just for introductions. The Justine kids met at the school grounds near the entrance, where they found Mira and Freed waiting for them.
"How did your first day go?" Freed asked
"It was great! I met a lot of new kids. Some are living near our home." Natsu said.
The kids continually talk about their day even after they have boarded their car.
Still, Sorry for the OOC. (But I love the idea of Gajeel being a comforting brother to Natsu XD. And Natsu is so cute. XD)
Please Read and Review. I really appreciate it.
