Natsu and Lucy ran to catch up with the rest of the class but stayed behind the bigger group to talk.
"So my father was furious, he scolded me for lying to him and choosing some 'raggedy old shack for people with no chances' his words." Lucy mocked her father.
"No way, and I thought my pops could be tough." Natsu scratched the back of his head, he didn't really like anyone who mocked fairy academy, or any of the fairy schools. So Lucy's father's words pissed him off.
"Yeah, then I ended up tearing my dress to defy him and his prestigious ideas, I told him that it was my choice and honestly I kind of lectured him about it. Apparently that was what he needed to hear." Lucy looked at the ground as they walked, thinking back to that moment, her father's bewildered look at what she had just done and the pure anger she felt, her whole life it felt as if he wanted to control her, that nothing she did was ever good enough, and it got worse after her mother died. "I haven't really talked to him since then…"
They stayed silent after that and when they reached the classroom they sat down in their own respective seats. Natsu couldn't help but to glance at her every now and then, he admired her for what she did to defy her father, and how she didn't back down. Even if he'd only met her and talked to her once before, he just knew that Lucy Heartfilia was one impressive person.
Lucy on the other hand was still thinking about her father, despite the borderline abusive behaviour, she still missed him.
Levy had occasionally looked behind her to watch the pair talk to each other, it kind of reminded her of how Jet and Droy were with her when they were all younger, and if that told her anything it was that those two could be as close as team shadow gear. Though there was a lot that Lucy would learn about the fiery Natsu as time went on, especially when it came to Gray.
She was determined to ask Lucy what they were talking about when lunch time came around, she had a tendency to get very curious, and who doesn't want to make more friends. She did already know a good chunk of her classmates, well only because she had been with them in school before Senior High. Plus Lucy looked like she'd be a very good friend.
When Lunch time finally rolled around, Levy turned her chair around so she could sit by Lucy's table. Lucy to say the least, looked surprised. Levy then proceeded to take up her bento and at that, Lucy's stomach growled, she hadn't noticed how hungry she had gotten, she didn't exactly have the most filling breakfast.
"You have any lunch?" Levy asked when she heard the growl.
"No, I was thinking of running down and buying something." Lucy took up her bag and started looking for her wallet, but Levy stopped her "No need, no need, mom always backs too much lunch for me so you can have some of mine." Levy opened up her bento and spread the boxes over the table, again Lucy was surprised, Levy wasn't lying when she said her mother made too much.
"Can I join?" Lisanna asked, holding her own bento box. The already seated pair nodded and helped her drag her table to them and sat next to Levy. Not long after that they were joined by Natsu.
"Lisanna?!" Natsu all but yelled as he saw the white haired girl.
"Hi Natsu!" She waved at him with a smile. After that Natsu ran over to them, jumping over a table on his way. The one sitting at that table was not happy to say the least. "Lisanna when did you come back?! How long have you been back?! Why didn't you tell me?!" Natsu kept asking more and more questions that Lisanna couldn't really answer because he was talking too fast. Though what stopped Natsu was not her, but the boy from the table.
"Hey flame brain, aren't you gonna apologize." Said the dark haired boy, Lucy noticed that his shirt had been fully unbuttoned, revealing his bare chest.
Natsu turned around to face the dark haired boy and the two started glaring at each other "You say something Ice Princess?" and with that, the two started arguing at full force with the occasional fists and feet flying here and there.
Levy and Lisanna just sighed "I guess some things haven't changed…" Lisanna said and just went to eating her lunch
Lucy on the other hand was very confused and rather distressed "Shouldn't someone stop them?"
"It's alright, they always do this, they're friends, believe it or not." Levy smiled.
"All….right, can you explain why flame brain and Ice Princess?" Lucy asked, still looking at the fighting duo.
"A long story involving tabasco and ice skating." Was all that Levy said and Lucy decided to just leave it at that.
Soon after they finished their lunch, Natsu and the dark haired boy, Gray as Lisanna then informed Lucy, sat with them and the group started talking about anything and everything. Natsu and Gray of course ended up arguing a lot and Lucy had a hard time believing that they were friends. But Lisanna scolded both of them most of the time and that just resulted at the boys glaring daggers at each other.
"Levyyy-Chan!" two voices said in unison and the group all turned to look at the door where two boys were standing and waving. "Jet! Droy!" With that Levy hurried over to them. They talked about something before Levy came back to the table to inform everyone that she was gonna be in the hallway with her friends.
"So Levy-Chan, how do you like Fairy Academy?" Levy's tall and slender friend, Jet asked. Like the more round, Droy, they were second years and so were ecstatic that they're tiny little friend, and crush was now with them in Senior high.
"Well it's only the first day, but I love it so far! Can't wait to check out the clubs!" Levy said excitedly. She was determined to join the book club, she was an avid reader herself and her room was more book than well, room. So having a place to be with like minded people was an absolute paradise.
"We can go with you!" Droy blurted out without thinking.
"Don't you have flower arrangement, Droy?" Levy asked, she knew that they tended to do things together all the time, but if they had something else to do they didn't have to tag along with her.
"I'm not a first year nor a third year so I don't have to attend today, right Jet?" Droy looked at his tall buddy.
"That's true, besides, I don't think the track team will mind me missing today either way." Jet remarked.
Levy looked at them for a bit, checking if they thought it was really alright, they didn't seem hesitant "Alright then."
The trio talked until it was time for classes to start again, Jet and Droy jogged up to the second floor where their classroom was and Levy calmly made her way back into her own. She made it just in time to help put the tables and chairs back into their right place. While at it Lucy and Lisanna had told her what they were talking about and Levy told them what happened with Jet and Droy.
After a few more hours of school, it was finally time for clubs. Levy was sure about her choice with the book club, but she didn't mind looking around a little bit before going there. Lisanna on the other hand was sure about the drama club where her two older siblings were, so Lisanna said her goodbyes and hurried to find her siblings.
"So any idea what club you're going to join?" Lucy asked her new blue haired friend.
"I'm going for the book club. I love books more than anything!" Levy almost jumped.
"There's a book club? I need to check that out." Lucy stopped and grabbed Levy's hands.
"We can go together! Come on, it's in the library." Levy started running out of the court yard and to the library, still holding on to Lucy's hand.
While making their way to the library, they were joined by Jet and Droy. They weren't exactly as excited as Lucy and Levy were but they were clearly happy to be with them, or Levy at least. It was obvious to Lucy that they had a crush on her, though it was as if Levy didn't notice it at all.
As the club activities ended, Levy, Jet and Droy walked to the bicycle stand with Lucy. The two girls were having a very deep conversation about their books and Jet and Droy just walked with them, having barely any idea what they were talking about.
"I mean, it's a huge and gaping plot hole, in the first book they said that it didn't work like that." Levy threw up her arms.
"I know, but at least the last book wasn't so bad." Lucy said, unlocking her bike from the stand and walking with it to the gate.
"True, but I need to go this way." Levy pointed to the right with her thumb.
"Well I need to go this way." Lucy said and gestured with her head to the left. "See you tomorrow?"
"Of course, can't wait! See ya." Levy waved after Lucy who rode her bicycle away, Jet and Droy yelled their goodbyes after the blonde. When she was out of sight, the trio started heading for the train station.
