BAM!

"I am so sorry!"

Lucy was sitting on the ground, rubbing her head. She looked up to see who was talking to her. A boy with pink hair towered above her. He was probably about the same height, if she wasn't on the ground. Lucy's head throbbed. "What happened?" she asked.

"I opened the door and smacked you in the face. I am really sorry!" Lucy's blood boiled, thinking about all the times her servants apologized to her, like she was some god that needed a sacrifice to make up for stepping on her shoe. The boy held out his hand and Lucy accepted it. The boy smiled at her. Lucy smiled back.

"What happened, Natsu?" an adult came over to the door.

"Sorry, Mrs. Anderson. I opened the door and I hit this girl in the face," Natsu explained.

"You must be Lucy Heart!" the teacher said cheerfully. Lucy nodded. "Well please come in! Don't be shy!" Mrs. Anderson grabbed Lucy's arm and dragged her inside the room. Lucy's eyes widened when she looked at the fifteen pairs of eyes staring at her like she just killed someone.

"Class, this is Lucy Heart. As of today, she is your new classmate, so please treat her kindly. Why don't you tell us about yourself, Lucy?" Mrs. Anderson suggested. Lucy's heart stopped. She had no clue what to say. 'Hi, I'm Lucy Heart. My real last name is Heartfilia. I am a spoiled rich girl that was raised to teach you commoners like dirt under my feet,' Lucy thought. 'That won't work. What can I say?"

"Uh, I don't know what to say," Lucy looked at her feet, blushing slightly from the attention. Sure, she was always the center of attention at the estate, but here, this was different. All these people aren't paid to be nice to her. They would judge her. They would laugh at her if she made a mistake. They would spread rumors if she did or said something wrong.

"Then how about everyone asks Lucy questions? This will be a great way to make friends!" the over-enthusiastic teacher said as she clapped her hands. Lucy could already tell that this year would be very long. She looked up at the single hand that was raised. The teacher nodded, silently allowing her to ask her question.

"What are you parents like?" the girl asked. 'My mom is dead and my dad is a self-centered snob,' Lucy thought.

"My mom died a few years ago, and I'd rather not talk about my dad," Lucy answered. Another student raised their hand. Once again the teacher nodded in approval.

"What do you do in your free time?" a boy asked. 'I walk around my fancy castle," Lucy once again muttered an answer she wouldn't dare say in her head.

"I like to read." Lucy enjoyed reading, but reading was one of the lasts things on her list of fun things to do. No one else raised their hand.

"If no one has any more questions, then we will start class. Lucy, you will be Jellal's partner at the table over there," Mrs. Anderson pointed to the lab table in the far corner of the room. There, sat a boy alone. He had blue hair and a red tattoo?

"You were the kid that sat with me on the bus," Lucy commented as she sat beside him. 'So his name is Jellal?' Lucy made a mental note.

"I like working by myself, so don't expect me to help you," he muttered in response. Lucy nodded quickly and turned to attention to the teacher.

"Today, we will be doing some book work, so open you book to page 230, where you will read about genetics," Mrs. Anderson waited for everyone to get their books out. Lucy opened the book that sat in front of her, along with a notebook that said "Lucy Heart".

"Now, the first topic is heredity. Heredity is the passing of traits from parent to offspring. A characteristic is the feature itself. A trait is the specific characteristic. For intense, hair color might be the characteristic, but brown hair is the trait. With traits come recessive and dominant genes. When finding traits, you will use a punnet square. You will learn all about those in section two. For now, I want you to all read about heredity, characteristics, and traits in section one. You will take notes on the section and answer the questions at the end. You will have a quiz on this tomorrow, so take good notes." Lucy was a bit overwhelmed by the sudden rush of information. Obviously, it showed, because Jellal noticed.

"I write down a bullets for each paragraph, but not too much. Just write enough to jog your memory on the information when you study later. It would be helpful to read the section later tonight, too," Jellal whispered. Lucy was a bit shocked that he was helping her, since he said he likes working alone and gave off the impression that he wouldn't help her with anything.

"Th-thank you," Lucy whispered back, stuttering a little. Jellal rolled his eyes and started reading. 'Jellal seems like he will be a handful,' Lucy thought. She shrugged it off and started reading. As she was reading the section, she realized she already knew everything. Surprised, Lucy looked all the chapters before. To no surprise, she already knew that information too. After skimming through the rest of the book, Lucy concluded that she had learned everything. 'Oh wait, this is biology. Ms. Jones taught me everything a few years ago. Well this class will be easy.' Lucy smiled and started answering the questions, not bothering to read the section, or take notes for that matter.

After sitting with nothing to do for fifteen minutes, the bell finally rang. Lucy pulled out her schedule and looked for her next class, which was World Cultures in room 107.

"We seem to have the same schedule." Lucy jumped and looked behind her, only to see Jellal peering over her shoulder, looking at the small piece of paper in her grasp.

"G-great?"

"You can follow me, if you want," Jellal said as he started walking away. Realizing that she will lose him if she doesn't start walking, she grabbed her back and ran to catch up with him. Oddly enough, he didn't carry a backpack. He walked with his hands in his back pockets, his head facing the ground. From Lucy's point of view, it didn't even look like he was watching where he was walking. Lucy, however couldn't stop. People were weaving in-and-out of her. One person hit her back, sending her into Jellal's back. He snapped his head around, ready to yell at her. Instead, their foreheads smacked together.

"Ow!" Lucy yelled, rubbing her forehead. "How many times am I going to get hit in the head!" Jellal, rubbing his head as well, looked highly annoyed.

"Whatever," he mumbled, turning around to continue walking. Lucy's face pinched together as she ran after him again. This kid was really getting on her nerves.

...

After four more uneventful periods, a lonely lunch, and three more boring classes, Lucy was finally about to head home. She got on the bus and sat in her new seat. Already there, was Jellal, the reserved jerk. Lucy sighed as she sat down. Her mind started to wonder. She had known everything that she would be covering this year in all her classes. The only thing she didn't know at this point, was social skills. She had no clue how to interact with people. The only real conversations she had was with Leo, which wouldn't happen often. Lucy knew that she wouldn't be able to move up a grade, since she needs so many credits to graduate. Ms. Jones already explained that she may know everything, because they teach things in a different order in public school, which is why she was put in the advance classes.

"Are you going to get up? This is our stop." Lucy looked over to see Jellal waiting not so patiently for her to get up.

"This isn't my house," Lucy thought allowed.

"They drop us off at the end of our street in the afternoon. And we live on the same street, so stand up and walk." Lucy was taken aback by his harshness, but did as she was told anyways. When she was off the bus, a few people were standing around her. First, there was a boy with blue-ink hair. The second was Jellal, and third was...

"Natsu!" Lucy shrieked.

"Hey! It's Luigi!"

"It's Lucy, you idiot!" the blue-ink haired kid yelled at Natsu.

"That makes more sense. I was wondering who names their kid Luigi," Natsu thought aloud.

"You are such an idiot," Jellal muttered as he started walking. The other two followed his motions. Lucy decided it best to follow them as well.

"How long have you lived her, Lucy?" ink-head asked.

"I got here about nine last night. This is the first time seeing the city in the light," Lucy responded.

"Why do you care when she moved in Grey?" Natsu teased.

"What! I don't care! I was just making conversation," Grey defended himself.

"If you haven't seen your house in the light, please tell me you know the house number," Jellal pleaded. Lucy froze. Everyone stopped walking.

"You don't know what your house looks like!" Natsu bellowed.

"I'm sure she will figure it out," Grey said as he started walking again. Jellal shrugged and Natsu laughed, walking again. Lucy laughed nervously and started walking, as well. After mentally freaking out for a few minutes, she saw a familiar orange hair putting a mailbox up. Lucy's face lit up.

"Lucy!" Leo called, finally noticing her.

"Who's that?" Natsu asked.

"Why do you care?" Grey returned the favor from earlier.

Lucy ignored them as she stepped into her driveway, finally reaching her house. She turned around and noticed that Grey walked into the house across the street, Jellal to the house next to her.

"I guess I will see you tomorrow Lucy!" Natsu said as he walked up to the house on the other side of her.

"So how was your day?" Leo asked, admiring his work with the mailbox.

"You have no idea."
