Lucy's POV

Before I turn the doorknob Erza stops me. My hand falls back to my side. Erza slowly reaches for the doorknob and pushes the door open. A pail of water falls and spreads across the floor. Erza steps over the water puddle and I follow behind her. "Alright, who's funny idea was this?!" Erza's scary when she gets mad. I see a guy with spiky pink hair in the back corner of the room trying his best not to laugh.

"Alright everyone, class has started. In your seats." I hear a familiar voice state. I look behind me and I see my cousin. "Hey Lucy. Gramps told me you'd be coming sometime soon."

"Hi Laxus." I greet.

"WHAT?!" I hear all of my fellow classmates yell.

"Wait, so you know Laxus?!" The pink haired kid in the corner yells.

"Yeah. He was my neighbor before he went to college." That wasn't an entire lie. I don't want people to find out that he's my cousin. I mean, he did live near me before he left for college.

"Alright then. Why don't you introduce yourself properly?" Laxus offers.

"Okay. Hi everyone! My name is Lucy Heartfilia. I live with my mother and I can use Celestial Spirit magic." I introduce.

"Okay then. Everyone why don't you give out your name and the type of magic you use." Laxus informs them. "Erza how about we start with you?"

"Alright. My name is Erza Scarlet and I use Re-quip magic." Erza states. Since Erza is on my right, the line goes to left.

"My name is Levy McGarden and I use Solid Script magic." Levy introduces.

"Name's Gray Fullbuster. Ice-Make magic user." Gray says.

"My name is Mirajane Strauss. I use take over magic. It's very nice to meet you." Mirajane states.

"I go by Freed Justine. I use Jutsu Shiki magic." Freed explains.

"My name is Wendy Marvell and I use Sky Dragon Slayer Magic." Wendy states.

"The name is Evergreen. I have Stone Eyes magic." Evergreen states.

"Elfman Strauss is the name! Take over magic is my game!" Elfman introduces.

"My name is Laki Olietta. I use Wood-make magic." Laki tells me.

"My name is Jellal Fernandez and I use Heavenly Body Magic." Jellal introduces.

"Gajeel Redfox. Iron Dragon Slayer magic." Gajeel states.

"Name's Cana Alberona. I use Card Magic." Cana states.

"The name's Bickslow. Human Possession is my magic!" Bickslow introduces.

"My name is Juvia Lockser. I use Water Magic." Juvia says.

"The name's Romeo Conbolt. I use Rainbow Fire as my magic." Romeo says.

"My name is Natsu Dragneel and I use Fire Dragon Slayer magic." Natsu introduces.

"Alright then. Now that you've met everyone, why don't you go take a seat next to Juvia and Romeo?" Laxus implies.

"Sure thing." I walk towards the back of the room and I sit next to Juvia. The class went on as any other class would. I learn about how different types of magic effect other types of magic. Kind of like a magic's strengths and weakness. Then after that we moved on to our academics, like math, science, history, and english. Before I knew it, the Lunch bell rang. Everyone got up out of there seats and walked out the door. I started to pack up my things so that they wouldn't be all spread out on my desk.

"Are you coming Lucy?" I look up and I see Erza standing over me.

"Yep!" I grab the lunch that my mom packed me and I look over a Laxus. "Oh wait!" I run back to my bag and I grab another box. I walk up to Laxus's desk and I place the box on Laxus's desk. "Layla says hi."

"Tell her I say hi back and I thank her for the lunch." Laxus states. I catch up to Erza who was waiting out in the hall for me.

"Trying to get on Laxus's good side the first day of school I see." Erza jumped to conclusions.

"No! Look, I'm gonna tell you something. But you have to swear you can't tell anyone!" I whisper.

"What is it?" Erza leans in closer.

"Laxus is my cousin." I whisper in her ear.

"What?!" Erza yells. I see people look at us from our classroom and others too.

"Shh! I told you to be quiet!" I yell.

"Sorry. Let's go to lunch. I can introduce you to students in other classes." Erza suggests. The two of us walk to the cafeteria and I see a table with some to the kids in our class.

"Hi Erza. Hi Lucy." Mirajane greets us.

"Hi Mira." Erza and I state simultaneously. Erza and I take a seat at the lunch table. I sit next to Erza and Levy.

"So Lucy, why did you move here in the first place?" Juvia questions.

"Well my parents are getting a divorce and the paper work is almost done, so we decided to move just to get away from my father." I explain.

"That must be hard on you." Wendy adds in.

"Not really. My father is really rich and he tried to force me to marry someone I never even met just so that he could expand his railway to the south. After my mom heard about that, she filed in the paperwork." I explain.

"Wow, I can understand why you'd want to get away from all of that." Mira states.

"Yo Erza! Fight me!" I look behind me and I see Natsu charging in at Erza. Erza turns around and karate chops him on the head and he goes out cold.

"Natsu!" I yell.

"Don't worry he'll wake up in 3...2...1…" Mira counts down. When she gets to one, Natsu springs back up.

"No wonder you're the strongest in our class! But I will beat you!" Natsu yells. I see Natsu run back over to a table with a bunch of boys. I notice him, Gajeel, and Gray, but they're sitting with other boys that I don't recognize.

"Hey Erza, who are the others sitting at Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel's table?" I question as I point at Natsu's table.

"The other boy with the black hair is Rogue and the blonde is Sting. They're in the Sabertooth class. There's also dragon slayers." Erza explains.

"Okay, then what's the Sabertooth class?" I question.

"You see instead of having grade levels, all of the students are mixed into different classes. For example you, Lucy, are in the Fairy Tail A class. Then there are others in the Fairy Tail B class. Then we also have the Sabertooth class, the Lamia Scale class, the Mermaid Heel class, the Raven Tail class, the Quatro Cerberus class, and the Blue Pegasus class." Mira explains.

"I guess that makes sense." I state. Lunch goes on and I get to know more about the girls in my class.

"Oh I just remembered. Elfman is going to be out this weekend at a training camp. So I decided that the girls are going to have a sleepover!" Mira yells.

"Wow really Mira-san?" Wendy exclaims.

"Yeah. Lucy, do you want to come?" Mirajane asks.

"If it's okay with you i'd love to come! Can I get back to you tomorrow on that though, my mom might want me to help unpack over the weekend." I explain.

"That's fine. If you can't come just tell me tomorrow." Mirajane states.

"Wait Mira, isn't Lisanna supposed to call this weekend?" Levy questions.

"Yeah. But I think that she would be happy to see you all and meet Lucy if you come."

"Okay just one question." I state.

"What is it?" Erza asks.

"Who's Lisanna?" I add.

"Lisanna-san is Mira-san little sister. She's traveling abroad right now. I think she's in France right now." Wendy answers.

"Yeah, she landed in France last Tuesday." Mira responds. I hear a bell ring and everyone stood up. I follow Erza, Mira, Levy, Juvia, and Wendy back to class and I see Laxus writing down lesson plans for the rest of the day. I sat next to Juvia and we whispered about the sleepover this weekend without getting caught. The final bell rang at around 2:30 and I waited for the bus. I didn't know who was on my bus so I just stood away from the crowd until someone tapped my shoulder.

"Hey!" I turn around and I see Natsu standing behind me.

"Hey yourself. What are you doing?" I question.

"Waiting for the bus, my car's in the shop right now so I have to take the bus 'til it's fixed." Natsu explains.

"Sorry to hear about your car." I state.

"Nah it's not the bad. Gajeel is one of the mechanics in town. I always take my car to him." Natsu explains.

"Cool, what bus do you take?" I question.

"15." Natsu answers.

"That's the same bus as me." I state.

"Cool! You wanna sit with me on the bus?" Natsu questions. I'm a little hesitant to answer.

"Sure." I answer. It takes a while but the bus finally gets to school and Natsu and I sit with each other on the way home. After about 8 different stops, my stop finally comes and I get out of my seat. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"See ya tomorrow." Natsu states. I walk off the bus and into my house.

"I'm home!" I yell into the house. I walk up to the second floor and into mom's room to see her unpacking her clothes.

"Oh hi Lucy. Can you help me with the clothes? We can talk about your day." Mom tries to persuade me.

"Sure thing mom." I drop my bag on the floor and I help mom put her clothes in the drawers.

"So how was school? Did you make any new friends?" Mom asks me.

"Yeah. By the way, I was wondering if I could go to a sleepover this weekend?" I question.

"You've already been invited over to a sleepover?! Of course you can go! I want you to get as used to your new school as possible!" Mom answers.

"Really?! Thanks mom!" I yell. I give huge hug. I can't wait for Saturday!

Laxus's POV

"She really doesn't know?" It's after school and all of the kids went home. I'm in Gramps' office.

"Not the slightest clue. Layla has gone above and beyond to keep this from her. Lucy would be heartbroken if she found out." Gramps explains.

"Yeah, Layla has to deal with this and the divorce. She needs to get treatment." I add on.

"She says she doesn't have the money. I've even offered it to her, but she turned it away." Gramps confesses.

"Without it, Layla doesn't have much time left."
