Back with the updated version of Academy! Not sure what to really write in these intros as I've done it before. Oh well! Reviews and constructive criticism is welcome. Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Remastered
Lucy's POV
Gray stopped as he opened the canteen doors. It was a massive white room, filled with tables and students.
"You see it Lucy?" Gray asked. Confused, I glanced around the room. Nothing out of the ordinary. Except...
"I see six main groups?" I answered.
"Clever. Each group is kinda like a gang. Not that sort of gang." He said quickly, noticing the look on my face. "Just groups of friends that stick together. Around the town are six pubs. Each group chills at the different pubs. This group," He pointed at the table closest to us. "That's Sabertooth, and they chill at the Sabertooth pub."
Three people stood out from that group straight away. Their was a boy with blonde, spikey hair, in the middle of them. Next to him was a boy with pitch black hair that covered one of his eyes. On the boy's over side was a girl with pure white hair, who was giggling at the jokes being made.
"The next table is Mermaid Heel, who relax at the Mermaid bar. See where this is going?" Gray continued.
"Yep." I nodded, looking at the table. The group seemed to be an all girl's one. In the middle was a girl with purple hair and a serious look. Next to her was a girl with cat ears and a fake tail. Their was also a chubby girl with puffy black hair.
"Then there's Lamia Scale." The table furthest had a boy with ice blue hair, who was talking to a smaller boy with large eyebrows. A girl with bright pink hair was pulling faces at a boy with fake dog ears.
"And Quatro Cerberus." This table seemed to be the opposite of Mermaid Heel, as it was an all boy's group. One guy had jet black hair and what looked like a flask in his hand. Another had bright yellow hair and a third had white hair tied into a ponytail.
"That group is Bl-"
"WILD!" The Quatro Cerberus table roared. The canteen yelled in annoyance and surprise. Gray continued like it was nothing.
"That group is Blue Pegasus." He pointed to another group, the majority being guys. Pretty guys in fact. I felt my heart skipping beats as I looked at them. One had dirty blonde hair that sat perfectly on his head. Another dark-skinned boy was relaxing in his seat, looking uninterested in the current conversation. Another had brown hair and a smile that melted my heart. Gray's not-so-silent chuckle brought me back to reality. I playfully nudged him as he pointed towards the final group.
"And that, is my group. Fairy Tail." The hair colours there had to be the weirdest. There was a girl with red hair, two with blue and a girl with silver. And a boy with pink hair, which is probably the weirdest thing I've seen.
"Well, take your pick." Gray shrugged as he walked over to Fairy Tail. His group instantly welcomed him.
My eyes flickered between the six, wondering which group seemed either the most fun or easiest to approach. "Wakaba said I'd fit in fine with the Mermaids. But Fairy Tail... They look so lively. Hmmm..."
Gray's POV
"Hey guys!" I said, pulling a chair up next to Levy. "What's going on?"
"Nothing much, just talking about you getting friendly with the new girl." Levy smirked, wiggling her eyebrows. I sighed, not wanting to deal with this.
"The old man just wanted me to show her to my tutor. Apparently she's in the same one as me."
"I was telling her about the different groups here. Jeez, will you cut it out?"
Instead of answering the question, Levy simply said. "Well what did you say about us? Because she's coming over!" I faced the way I came to see Lucy striding towards us with a nervous expression on her face. She stopped right in front of me, her body tensing slightly, waiting for someone to say something.
"Yo. Decided to join Fairy Tail, eh Lucy?" I grinned at her. Her nervous expression morphed into one of joy as she nodded. I moved across to make room for her, and she sat down happily. Turning back to the rest of Fairy Tail, I saw them all looking at me. "Guess it's my job to introduce her..."
"Guys, this is Lucy, a transfer student from an all girls boarding school." Lucy gulped before looking at the group.
"H-Hi."
"Lucy, this is Levy." I gestured towards the bluenette next to me. Always getting teased for being a shrimp of a girl, a nickname given by him, she was incredibly smart. Always buried in a book, she was easy to notice, especially with her messy blue locks that clashed against her bright orange hairband. Although she looked innocent, she did have a sneaky side to her, one that liked to tease her friends. Levy flashed a smile at Lucy, making her feel welcome.
"This is Erza." I pointed towards the redhead opposite me. Her long crimson hair flowed down to her back, and her soft eyes flickered towards Lucy as she nodded.
"Next... Is Juvia." The same girl who was glaring at Lucy earlier in tutor. She had ocean blue hair and big sapphire eyes, standing out from her pale skin. "She also has an extreme obsession with me." I sighed to myself. Juvia was once again giving Lucy a piercing glare, but stopped once she saw I'd notice. Glancing back at Lucy, she was looking at me in confusion. I shook my head.
"Meet Lisanna." The girl with short, silver hair gave a small wave. Her blue eyes sparkled as she waved back. She'd been a childhood friend of mine, yet we lost contact once we went different schools. Upon coming here, we met up again.
"And finally, this idiot." I muttered, waving a hand towards the pinkette. "This is Natsu."
"I ain't an idiot." Natsu growled back, temporarily leaving his food. "Hey Luce, nice to meet ya!" He said with his usual goofy grin. Then went back to demolishing his food. Everyone sighed except Lucy, who giggled.
"Well at least she's settling in." I though to myself. Suddenly, the bell rang.
"Lucy, what do you have next?" Erza asked.
"Er... Creative Writing." Lucy answered.
"Ohhhhhh! Same!" Levy beamed. Reaching over the table, she grabbed Lucy's hands. "Come on, we gotta get to lessons early." Before anyone knew it, Levy was practically dragging Lucy out of the canteen.
"She seems nice." Lisanna said.
"Yeah," I casually replied, before turning to Juvia. "Juvia. No. More. Dirty. Looks. She just got here, don't make her feel uncomfortable, ok?"
"Y-Yes Gray-sama." Juvia started. "B-But the way she was looking at you. She might try to steal you from Juvia. Juvia doesn't want you to go off with her and leave Juvia alone to die!" I just sighed. Sometimes, Juvia's imagination took her to weird places.
"Yes, Juvia, I'm aware of what you want. However we just met. I don't like her like that." I watched Juvia's face light up. "Think I made a mistake..."
"Yes! Gray-sama is all Juvia's!" She giggled.
