Hey guys. thanks for sticking around.
I wanna give a shout out to Lexie and the anime
Hey everyone, I had to fix an error her where Lucy said Levy and her didn't have fifth and seventh together to make it just say Fifth because her and levy have art seventh
She really helped me out on this one by doing some editing so you should all go check out some of her works because she is awesome and so are her stories!

I walked to the front of the classroom like I had done so many times before at my old school and took a seat.
"Don't let the iron idiot over there get you upset."
I looked up to see the voice had come from a grinning blonde that took a seat next to me. "My name's Lucy, by the way," she continued.
"I-I'm Levy," I stammered out.
"He may seem rough around the edges, but he is really a nice guy once you understand a little about him," Lucy said, nodding to where Gajeel was fighting with Natsu and Gray.
"Like what?" I ask, curious to know more about him.
"Well, he is kinda new here too. He just started coming here about two or three months ago."
"Really? Because he seems so at home here," I stated, taking a quick glance at him. I was a bit surprised by that seemingly unimportant piece of information.
"Yeah, really. He got expelled from his old school for getting into a fight, with Natsu actually." She was being nonchalant, as if things like that happened every day. "Gajeel had put him in the hospital for three days. His high school career would have been over because no school would take him, but Mr. Makarov had none of that. He basically demanded that Gajeel enrolled here. Makarov said it was his punishment for beating up one of his brats, but we all know it's because that old man hates to see a kid with potential end up walking down the wrong path. Natsu got his payback too by challenging Gajeel to a fight. They duked it out and Natsu won, but not by much."
"Wow... I guess I could understand why he teased me. He was just welcoming me in the only way he knows." A smile formed on my face while I was picturing the smirk he had on his face when he first called me 'Shrimp'.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when a voice boomed over the classroom chaos.
"Natsu! Gray! Gajeel! If you three don't take your seats right now then we are going to have an issue!" And just like that, the three boys stood up straight and bolted to their seats, with Gajeel taking the one on the other side of me and Natsu taking one next to Lucy. I looked for the source of the voice and saw a lady looking to be in her early twenties with long scarlet hair. She was stunning and if I hadn't known any better, I would have thought she was a senior.
'This must be Miss Scarlet.'
At that moment, she caught my stare and locked her eyes onto me. Her eyes were a dark brown color.
"Ah, you must be Levy McGarden. I'm Erza Scarlet," she presented herself in an odd tone. I couldn't tell if it was kind or menacing.
"N-Nice to meet you, Miss Scarlet." I responded, trying to play off my first day jitters. Miss Scarlet started the lesson and the period went like any other biology class. I heard the bell ring and everyone started packing up their books to go to the second period.
"Let me see your schedule," Lucy said to me. I pulled the paper out of my agenda and handed it to her. She looked over it before smiling at me. "We have almost every period together except for fifth!" She squealed, handing me back my schedule before jumping up and down excitedly.
"Really?!" I asked surprised. 'I'm so glad to have a friendly face in most of my classes.'
"Yup!"
After that, we walked to our next period, which was gym with Mr. Strauss.
Lucy led me to the gym and then left me to get changed. I found there a behemoth of a man with spikey white hair and a scar under his right eye.
"Are you Mr. Strauss?" I asked politely, trying not to sound too weak.
"Yes! Elfman Strauss!" He answered, putting an odd emphasis on the ending of his name.
I'm the new student, Levy McGarden." I was trying to avoid his intense gaze. Do all the teachers at this school have this much intensity?
"Ah yes. Miss McGarden, let me get you the uniform order form," the tall man said, before walking into his office, returning moments later with the forementioned form. "Here you go." He then turned to the students coming into the gym, all in the same uniform: a gray T-shirt with the Fairy Tail crest on the back and blue basketball shorts. "I want you all to get into groups of two. I'll give you further instructions after you find your partners. Levy, since today's activity won't be very physical, you can participate without a uniform." I nodded and went to go find Lucy, whom I found hanging out with Natsu and Gajeel.
"Hey, Lucy. I was wondering if you wanted to be partners."
"Actually, Levy, I'm already partnered up with Natsu, but Gajeel needs a partner." Lucy nodded to him.
"Oh, okay. Gajeel, will you be my partner?" I asked, turning to him.
"Sure thing, Shrimp!" Gajeel replied with a smirk. I roll my eyes at him and go to stand next to him.
"Alright!" Mr. Strauss began vigorously. "Since everyone has a partner, I want each group to find their own space and wait for my instructions."
Gajeel led me to a spot a good bit away from everyone, but where the class was still in view.
"So, Shrimp, how's your first day at Fairy Tail going?" Gajeel questioned. I simply smiled at him.
"It's going pretty well, except this one guy keeps calling me Shrimp."
"Well, if you've got a problem with that, how about you come up here and do something about it?" He laughed. I was fuming.
"And what if I do?!" I stood up taller, in hopes of appearing more intimidating.
"C'mon, I'll take all 4 feet of you!" he retorted, towering over me.
"I'm gonna smack you!" I said, punching his shoulder to prove my statement. Gajeel just laughed again and shrugged the punch off, placing a hand on my head.
"I like yer spunk, Shorty." He smiled.
'Why does my heart start beating so fast everytime I see that smile? Oh no... Don't tell me I have a crush on him?! I couldn't possibly like him, could I?
