Continuing from the last chapter~ (sorry I keep on deleting chapters! There's always something missing!)
Lucy and Levy looked at each other before looking back at the inside of the school. WAS THIS ACTUALLY A SCHOOL?
It looked like where a rich person would live in! Well, that's what the first floor looked like. The floors seemed to be waxed and paintings were hung on the wall. Two large staircases were in front of them and in the middle was a large painting of the previous headmaster. Makarov chuckled. "Impressed?"
Levy and Lucy nodded quickly, making Makarov laugh. "You don't have to look surprised!"
Makarov then grinned "So are you excited for your first day of school?"
"Yeah!" Lucy yelled with excitement. Levy and Makarov stared at her. Lucy blushed with embarrassment. Makarov then laughed. "That's the spirit!"
He then clapped his hands. "Virgo!"
A pretty pink hair girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bowed at Makarov.
"You need me, master?" she said.
'Where did she come from?' the two girls thought.
"I need you to take Miss Lucy and Miss Levy to their class and also put their suitcase somewhere safe until the classes end." Makarov said and then Levy remembered something. "What about the dorms?"
"Dorms?" It took Makarov to realize what she meant and he grinned weakly while rubbing the back of his head. "Well, you see…we don't have any space anymore."
Levy's jaw dropped. "Then-"
"I'll provide some apartments for you. They'll be near the school."
Levy frowned but gave in. "Okay…"
She didn't expect this.
"I apologize. This is the only thing I can do for you now." Makarov, smiling.
"Headmaster." Virgo said and he turned to her. "Miss Erza wanted me to tell you something. She told me to inform you about an incident in the park and to go there immediately."
Makarov looked at the floor seriously and said "Thank you Virgo for informing me."
'Incident in the park…?' Lucy's eyes widened. 'Could it be…?'
"Sorry, ladies but I must go for a serious business. When it's the end of the school day, come to my office so I can tell you your apartment address." Makarov said and took out two pieces of paper. "Your homeroom is Class F. Oh and some of your classes will be mixed with Class S so you might see other people." Makarov said bye to them before heading out the school. Virgo turned to the girls. "Please give me your suitcases and follow me."
"But won't it be too heavy for you?" Lucy said, hesitating to give her the suitcase.
"Do not worry about me." Virgo said before gently taking the suitcase from Lucy. "This is my job."
Levy then gave hers and said thanks. Virgo then lifted up both suitcases up above her head, shocking the two girls. 'She's strong…almost the same as Lucy…' Levy thought.
The three girls then started walking up the staircase on the right side. "You're class is on third floor, the second classroom on the right hallway." Virgo said and the girls nodded. They followed her up to third floor while taking a look around. The first floor looked luxurious but the rest of the floors were all pretty normal. Virgo said 3rd floor to the 5th floor were classrooms. 6th floor was the cafeteria. 7th floor to 8th floor was the gyms (used only when it's raining). 9th floor to 11th floor were some abandoned extra floors .
"Hey Virgo, you seem pretty young." Lucy said. "Are you going to school?"
Virgo continued walking, not replying as she walked up the stairs towards the third floor. She then said "I can't remember."
Lucy's eyes widened. Virgo stopped walking. "I can't remember anything ever since two years ago…Master found me in a nearby town and took me in. I repaid him by being a maid of this school."
Levy looked at her in surprise. "Same as Lucy…she can't remember her past…'
When they reached the hallways of the 3rd floor, it was very silent. Not one single sound could be heard. The only sound they can hear was their own footsteps as they walked down the hallway. The classroom had windows that could see inside the hallway but most were closed.
Virgo suddenly stopped and turned to Levy and Lucy. "This is your classroom."
The two looked at a door that was next to Virgo. "Thank you, Virgo." Lucy said with a smile. Virgo bowed and took her leave.
Lucy and Levy stared at the door in silence. Levy sweat dropped and opened the door and looked inside. There were pairs of desks lined up in five rows, five pair of desks in each. But that didn't catch the two's attention. What surprised them was there were only girls inside the classroom. Most didn't pay attention to them. Levy saw there were many desks empty and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh my! Newcomers!"
Lucy and Levy turned to see a VERY beautiful girl with snowy white hair walking towards them with a big smile.
"I guess you two are the transfer students!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah." Levy replied. The girl held out a hand. "My name is Mirajane! What's yours?"
Lucy reached out her hand and shook Mirajane's. She smiled. "I'm Lucy. This is Levy."
"Nice to meet you and welcome!"
Levy looked around. "Is this…?"
Mirajane seemed to have read her mind because she then said "Oh, the others must be skipping school today or maybe coming to school late!"
"Skipping school…? Lucy said, surprised.
Mirajane nodded. "It's their usual thing."
'This school…is filled with delinquents!' Levy thought.
"Come and sit down with me!" Mirajane patted two desks next to her. Levy and Lucy looked at each other before sitting down. They noticed the girls were staring at them in a suspicious way. Levy sweat dropped. Mirajane sat down on a seat behind them and said "you can ask me any questions you want if you like."
"Where are the teachers?" Levy asked.
"Oh, some people did pranks on them so they didn't come for class…." Mirajane sighed. "Cana also did one of the pranks…"
When she looked at the two, she raised an eyebrow at their expression. "What is it?" she asked.
"N-nothing…" Levy said. 'To think they would go far as to do pranks on teachers…'
"Mira! Come over here for a sec!" a girl called form the girls group.
"Coming!" Mirajane turned to the girls. "Excuse me for a second."
As she went away, Lucy said "Students can skip school?"
"Of course not! Usually, only…delinquents do that…" Levy said, sweat dropping. Lucy's eyes widened. "Then that means innocent people are…!"
'Goes directly to innocent people…' Levy smiled weakly.
"What are you two whispering about?" Mirajane came back and looked at them curiously.
"Nothing special!" Levy said with a weak smile. Lucy frowned.
"Oh yeah! Did you two have a tour around the school yet?" Mirajane said. The two shook their heads.
"Although Virgo told us about the floors." Levy said.
"Then how about I show you around? At least tell you where everything is." Mirajane said.
"Sure!" Lucy said happily. The two stood up and followed Mirajane outside the classroom. Mirajane said to first tour around the floors before going to the back of the school.
"The back of the school?" Lucy asked. Mirajane nodded. "It has a garden and a BIG field. Sometimes we go to the back for PE." Mirajane explained.
While they were toured 4th and 5th floor, they noticed that the classrooms were all almost empty. When they finished touring around the 6th and 7th floor, Mirajane remembered something.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you! Never go to the floors after the 8th floor. It's very dangerous there. Delinquents hang out there" Mirajane asked. Lucy's eyes widened.
"Does the headmaster know about this?" Levy asked.
"Well, not really~" Mirajane said, sweat dropping. "Oh! There are Girl Fights today…"
Suddenly Levy felt something behind her. A feeling she has whenever something big was going to happen. A feeling she didn't like. A feeling that something involving…
"Lucy!" Levy turned to see Lucy already running towards the stairs. Mirajane was surprised.
"Excuse us for a second! Sorry! You can go back to the classroom too!" Levy bowed and quickly dashed to Lucy. Mirajane stood there, confused. "Eh? Wait…"
Lucy~
Lucy dashed up the stairs. "Wait, Lucy!" she stopped and turned to see Levy running after her while sweating like crazy. "A-are you planning to go to the abandoned floors?"
"Of course! There are delinquents there, Levy! AND Girl Fights!" Lucy said with a determined look on her face. "I need to stop it!"
Levy looked at her before sighing. 'Well, I can't stop her. She won't listen anyway...'
She crossed her arms. "Do you plan to go in like that?"
"…What do you mean?"
"If you stop the Girl's Fight, they'll know you right away. Remember the incident this morning? They already saw your face. At least have a disguise."
"You have a point…but how am I going to disguise myself?" Lucy said. Levy smirked evilly and Lucy knew what she wanted to do. "Wait! No!"
And so~
"Levy! My hair!"
"I think you look cute!"
Lucy's hair was tied into two messy pigtails with her ribbons. Her nags were messed up so that it would cover her eyes. In addition, she also wore Levy's glasses (it wasn't too deep but Lucy still felt a bit of discomfort). Lucy cried waterfalls.
"Levy, what did you do to my hair…?"
"I messed it up a little. That's all." Levy said with a smile. "It's not that tangled anyway. Didn't you say you wanted to stop trouble?"
"…Yeah!" Lucy said with her will back. Levy sweat dropped. Little did they know they were being followed.
"Then I'm coming with you. I'll keep a look out for you." Levy said with her arms crossed.
"How about Mirajane?" Lucy asked, using her finger to push up the glasses.
"I told her she can go back to the classroom. " Levy said. Lucy nodded. As they started walking up the stairs, Levy suddenly said "do you have a plan?"
When she got no reply, Levy sighed. "I can't believe you don't have a plan…then again, you always acted before you think."
"I'll think of one when we get there!" Lucy quickly said and Levy sweat dropped. 'And today's the first day of school too…'
"Your mission is to…"
Lucy flinched.
"What's the matter?" Levy asked, looking at her in concern.
"N-nothing…" Lucy rubbed her head. 'What was that…?'
When they reached the top of the stairs, Lucy and Levy stopped in front of two huge metal doors. The noises got louder and louder. Lucy and Levy looked at each other and sweat dropped.
"O-open the door, Lucy." Levy said. Lucy nodded and looked at the door with a determined look. "Time to stop trouble!"
"Hey wait, but don't you usually only save innocent people?"
"Well, what if they pull the innocent people into the fights?"
Lucy quickly gripped the door handle and hesitated. She then bit her lip and was going to push the door open when two large shadows appeared on the doors. Lucy's eyes widened and she quickly turned around and her eyes widened in shock. 'No way…!'
Was this real? Is it just a coincidence?
Lucy's mind stopped working as her face started turning pale. Levy was also very shocked and almost gasped if she hadn't covered her mouth with her hands. 'The boy Lucy threw…!'
Standing right beside her was the scarf boy and his companion, the raven hair boy. They wore wearing the same clothes as this morning (except the raven boy only wore pants). Natsu gripped the other door handle with his other hand inside his other pocket. He then noticed Lucy and Levy. Lucy's eyes widened (Although couldn't be seen from her glasses and messy bangs) when his eyes set on her. The bruise from the rock she threw was still on his face.
'DID THE DISGUISE FAIL? WHAT TO DO?' Lucy started panicking. Natsu's mouth then turned into a grin, surprising Lucy.
"Hey, I've never seen you two before! You two are new here, right?" Natsu said with a cheerful voice. Lucy's mouth twitched. "Y-yeah!" Lucy tried to make the lowest voice she could make so he couldn't make out her voice. 'Eh..? He didn't find out…?'
Natsu's grin widened.
"It's rare to see newcomers." Gray said with an eyebrow raised. Natsu smirked. "Well Droopy Eyes, at least you managed to take off your clothes in front of them!"
"SHI- when did I take my clothes off…?"
Lucy and Levy blushed when they saw Gray was wearing nothing but boxers. His pants were on the ground.
"Be careful around him. He likes to strip to show his body!" Natsu said.
"Well, wait until everyone hears about you getting beaten by a girl! Well, it's not hard to believe that anyway. Since you're an idiot." Gray smirked at his own comment. Natsu glared at him furiously. "Hey! At least I knocked out more people than you!"
Lucy winced a bit. She knew he was talking about the incident in the park.
"Only by one!"
Natsu smirked and then looked back to Lucy and Levy. He then grinned again and opened the metal door. When the two boys went in and the door closed behind them, Lucy leaned against the wall and started sliding down, her face so shocked it was like she saw her hair was all tangled and standing straight up (it's like horror to her).
Levy sweat dropped, her face full of shock too. "Lucy…that boy…"
Lucy nodded while crying waterfalls. "I thought I'll never see them again! Why did they have to appear?"
Levy twitched her eyebrow. "It's a good thing he didn't notice you…"
Lucy immediately stood up with a big determined smile. "Oh yeah! Now I have a higher chance to stop trouble!"
"WHAT? YOU'RE STLL GOING IN?" Levy's jaw dropped.
"Of course!" Lucy said with a frown. "It's my duty! And those two are here! There's definitely something going on in there!"
Lucy then gripped the handle again. She then opened the door and she quickly went and looked up.
Meanwhile~
A black hair girl was heading upstairs towards the 9th floor when she caught sight of snowy white hair. Her eyes widened. "Mira?"
The beauty turned around and said with a smile "Cana!"
"What're you doing here? I thought you stopped coming here ever since…"
"I was spying on some of the transfers in our class." Mirajane said.
"Transfers? I didn't hear about that!" Cana said with her eyes widened in surprise.
"Me neither." Mirajane then looked back at the metal door. "Hey, Cana. Can you help me look after them? I'm afraid something might happen to them."
"Sure. But what do they look like?"
"One has blue hair and a yellow ribbon. The other one…you'll know who she is. She stands out more in there with her little disguise…"
Cana raised an eyebrow. "Okay…"
