It was 7, when Lucy was dragged out of bed by Wendy.
"Lucy, we have school. Go get in a shower." Wendy dropped her on the floor, and Lucy groaned. She was just so tired. She zombie walked to the shower and made sure to wash her body and her wings carefully. She trudged down the stairs and started eating the food on the table.
"You ready for school, Luce?" Natsu grinned excitedly jumping up and down.
"Lucy dear, here is you're uniform. If you need any help with it, ask Wendy or myself. Chop. Chop. Don't want to be late for school." Grandine pushed her back up the stairs to get changed. Lucy looked at the uniform. It did look alright. She got changed, questioned the length of the skirt. She thought it was too short, but maybe that was just the rules. The shirt fit nicely, not crushing her wings, yet complementing the size of her bust.
She walked back downstairs.
"Right, I'm ready." Lucy smiled, in the uniform, she was more excited.
"Lucy, the uniform looks so good on you." Wendy squealed.
"Urr. Y-yeah it does." Natsu said while scratching his neck, "Now lets go drop Wendy off." The three left the house. Wendy's school was first. She was mobbed by lots of kids her age, all happy to see her again. Lucy couldn't help but smile knowing that she saved Wendy and made these kids so happy. There was one boy, he had purpley black hair and he approached Lucy.
"Are you Lucy?" He asked seriously.
"Yes, I'm Lucy nice to meet you. And you are?" Lucy smiled at the boy who broke into a grin.
"I'm Romeo! Thanks for bringing back Wendy." Romeo hugged her, and Lucy hugged him back. "I'll be joining you're school next year, so please look after me." He grinned.
"S-sure." Lucy smiled, but got pulled away by Natsu.
"We gotta go." Natsu whispered into her ear.
"O-okay." Lucy stuttered back. "Bye Wendy." Lucy yelled.
"Bye Lucy. Have a good first day." She grinned. They started to walk to their school and Natsu noticed Lucy fidgety.
"You alright, Luce?" Natsu said as he sat down on some strangers garden wall.
"I just..." she sighed, "...what if they don't like me? What if they find out and freak? What if they-"
"Luce, they will like you, plus you know ice freak already. And the wing thing, they'll understand if they find out. If anything happens, I'm there. Chill." Natsu stood up and started to push her forward. They arrived at the school; it was huge and was homely. "Come on, Luce, breathe in and out. Gee, stop being so nervous."
They walked to the reception to get Lucy's timetable and to get the usual welcome speech from Master. They walked into his office, there were random stacks of paperwork and bookshelves full of school records.
"You must be Lucy?" The big leather chair spun round to reveal a small man with gray hair and a perverted smile. "Even your bust size isn't human!" She chuckled, wide-eyed.
"Gramps!" Natsu yelled, Makarov still chuckling.
"I'm Master Makarov, Headmaster of Fairy High, or Fairy Tail. I'm fully aware of your situation and someday I would like to see them." He smirked, "You're wings I mean."
"O-okay" Lucy stuttered.
"If you have any problems, see me or Natsu." Makarov smiled as Natsu and Lucy were about to leave the room.
"Oh, and you have physical education today. Just pay extra care when you get changed." Makarov smiled. And they left, leaving him to think how Lucy's going to fit in.
They walked to their form room, when Natsu got jumped.
"Think first, fuck face!" Gray yelled tackling him to the ground, causing them to start wrestling yelling pointless insults. Lucy just stood there not knowing what to do.
"FIGHTING IN MY CORRIDOR!" Natsu and Gray suddenly shot up and stood as if they were in the army. From around the corner came a beautiful scarlet haired woman, who wore her uniform correctly and concentrating on her clipboard, her glasses slid slightly down her nose as she looked down.
"You must be Lucy?" She looked her dead in the eyes, with no fear... or mercy, "I'm Scarlet, Erza Scarlet. Student president." Lucy took her hand with a smile. Honestly, Erza scared her, but Lucy already learnt to show no fear. She looked her dead in the eyes.
"Yeah, nice to meet you. Please look after me." Lucy smiled to Erza, Gray and Natsu were impressed about how she could just smile. Erza was shocked that Lucy wasn't scared; her aim was to scare the new kid into being good, yet she didn't even flinch: impressive.
"I'll see you in class, Lucy. We'll have a good year." Erza smiled and walked off, yelling at kids along the way. Lucy exhaled in relief, she didn't realise how tense she was.
"How did you do that?" Gray yelled in shock, "you just... you just spoke to her like that?" Gray patted her on the back.
"Do what? I was bloody terrified? I thought she was going to bite my head off!" Lucy exaggerated; Natsu laughed putting his arm round Lucy's shoulder.
"That was one hell of a poker face, Luce." Natsu continued to laugh, "Let's go, or Gildarts will flip." Natsu started to drag Lucy off.
"Hey! Don't leave me behind, flame brain!" Gray yelled running after them. Natsu slammed the door open.
"YO! EVERYONE THIS IS LUCY! SHE'S NEW HERE!" Natsu yelled. There were some cheers and everyone flocked around them. Everyone was chatting at once, and Lucy was overwhelmed, everyone introduced themselves but she just couldn't keep track. She noticed only two people didn't approach her, a boy with scraggy black hair, piercings and deep red... knowing eyes. He sat over a small petite girl, head stuck in a book, it was as if she didn't even notice Lucy walked in. She liked that. A brown-haired girl dragged her away from her staring, something about booze.
"OI! SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND SHUT UP!" A voice crashed above the rest, in the door frame was a red-haired man, who looked like he just woke up. Lucy was worried about getting into trouble on her first day. But then he grumbled, "I have a huge hang over, so just find a seat". Lucy didn't know what a hangover was, but by the laughing of her classmates it wasn't anything serious. Lucy laughed. Just laugh Lucy, you'll fit in then! Natsu dragged her to the back of the classroom to some seats; she sat next to Natsu and the blue haired girl. Natsu looked at her and smiled.
"A hangover is when you drink too much alcohol; you get horrible headaches and feel like you're going to throw up!" Natsu laughed at Lucy's shocked face.
"How? How did you know?" She asked, shocked.
"You need to get better at fake laughing, Luce." Natsu chuckled, but the black-haired delinquent interrupted.
"What kind of idiot doesn't know what a hangover is?" He practically growled. The blue haired girl, finally looked away from her book.
"Gajeel, stop being so rude! You'll scare the new girl." She hit him round the head, the girl smiled at Lucy.
"I'm Levy! This is Gajeel." There was silence. "Say hello, Gajeel." He huffed.
"Hello Gajeel." He liked winding her up.
"Oh, sorry. Do I need to announce every piece of punctuation? Say Hello, comma, Gajeel, full stop. Better for your small brain to understand?" Levy hissed, Natsu was confused.
"Levy, since when were you this sassy?" Natsu questioned, looking at her like she was an alien. Levy laughed.
"Natsu, don't look at her like that!" Lucy pouted, not taking her eyes off of Levy's book. What is it about the books that meant she wouldn't stop reading?
"You like books?" Levy grinned, eyes glistening.
"I've never read a book. Well, I've read a lot of non-fiction books. I wasn't allowed to, you know at home." Lucy smiled. Levy dove into her back, throwing out various books, school books and text books.
"Here!" She pulled out a blue book but with what look like clouds on it?
"A fault in our stars?" Lucy asked, it did interest her.
"Yes, it's my favourite. You have to read it. Quick! Then was can have book talk!" Levy squealed.
"LEVY!" Gildarts yelled.
"Sorry, Sir." Levy spoke back. They went back to chatting. Natsu was glad Lucy could create normal friends, especially with a girl... so they can... girl talk what he didn't like, was the way Gajeel looked at her. It was as if he knew which was impossible. The bell rang.
"Come on, Lu-chan. We have to go to PE!" Levy leaped out of her chair, dragging Lucy away.
"Be careful, Luce!" Natsu yelled, and Lucy just waved and laughed. Her hair flying behind as she left. She was going to fit in, Natsu knew it for sure.
