-BELL RINGS-
Lucy was sitting down in her chair, staring into particularly nothing, she didn't pay any attention to the bell that had just rung, from other people's perspective it seemed like the blonde was lost in thought, Lucy was completely zoning out.
"Hey! Lucy…right?" A quite cheery voice seemed to have broken Lucy's train of thought.
"Huh? Oh umm yeah" Lucy replied with a sheepish smile on her face.
"My name's Levy McGarden, I'll be your so called guide for the day!" Levy had said with a big smile on her face, her cheerful tone never faltering, "Nice to meet you!"
Lucy smiled copied Levy's "Nice to meet you too" Lucy gathered her stuff and neatly placed it in her bag, just as she stood up her vision was blocked "W-what the?!" Lucy had removed the bothersome thing off her face "Lucy, you okay?" Levy asked "Yeah, I'm fine…wait a minute whose shirt is thi-"
"You're dead meat, Flame-brain!" A loud voice that came from behind Lucy interrupted "You're on, Icy Perv!" Another loud voice came about
Lucy had turned around, from her and Levy's perspective they saw two boys, both their heads smashed against one another, the two troublesome boys seemed to have stand out from the others for Lucy, the lad had pink hair "Wasn't he the one who was really late for class", while the other was shirtless. Lucy looked at the piece of cloth that she held "W-wait! Don't tell me...this is his shirt?!" right at her thought, with a red face, Lucy dropped the cloth.
"L-let's get out of here before a certain someone gets naked","Wait what?!" Before Lucy could even question any further Levy had grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out of the classroom. Levy stopped in her tracks and took in deep breaths."What was that about? And what'd she mean by someone getting naked?" Lucy stared at the panting brunette with a puzzled look, Levy straightened up and gave Lucy a bright smile "I guess you're a lil confused,huh?" Lucy nodded in response "Well those two guys earlier are both delinquents, they're pretty much feared by most of the students here, those two in particular always get into fights, the one with pink hair is Natsu Dragneel and the one who was…shirtless…was Gray Fullbuster" Levy explained.
"Oh I see!...what about the part where you said 'Let's get out of here before someone gets naked'?" Lucy wondered
"Oh well umm" Levy's cheeks turned a slight tint of pink but she seemed frustrated despite her also embarrassed look on her face "Gray has a habit of stripping off his clothes unknowingly and one time he got in a fight with Natsu and somehow ended up stark naked"
"What kind of habit is that?!" Lucy blushed "That's…unfortunate…are they the only delinquents?" Lucy asked in a bitter tone, her encounters with delinquents in her former school weren't exactly pleasant.
The two were now walking towards the lockers to get ready for the next class "Actually there are quite a handful of delinquents here but the most known are Natsu,Gray,Gajeel Redfox" Levy paused for a second "Loke Lion but…Loke is more on the 'Guy who gets all the girls' and he doesn't get that much into trouble as the three others and the last is Jellal Fernandes but he's not really a delinquent." Levy looked around "So where's your locker?"
"Right here" Lucy stood in front of the orange locker "Really? Mine's just a few lockers away!" Levy pointed over Lucy's shoulders. The two girls rummaged through their own lockers before reuniting "So about the 'delinquents'…I'm guessing I should stay away from them?" Lucy asked.
"Actually, they're not so bad! I know them quite a bit and they're great, sure they can be a little bit much at first but once you get to know them, they're really friendly!" Levy beamed with a bright smile
Lucy smiled back "Really? That's cool!" Lucy lied, she wasn't convinced by what Levy said, she was a bit skeptical about it, Levy was a sweet girl and all but Lucy just didn't seem to find herself believing a word Levy said, then again Lucy could be wrong "I'm not buying anything Levy said, what if she's lying because those dumb delinquents are blackmailing her?! Are they using Levy? Am I target?!..ugh come on Lucy you're exaggerating, plus Levy seemed genuine about what she said, she's kind and sweet too…I still have my doubts though" Lucy was in deep thought, she didn't realize Levy was calling her name.
"Lucy…Lucy…Lucy!" Levy had repeated the blonde's name numerous times and yet Lucy still hadn't paid attention to her "Hey Lucy" Levy stood in front of the blonde and waved her hands at the girl's face "Huh?...sorry were you saying something?" Lucy stared at the short girl in front of her, she laughed nervously "Ahaha s-sorry I guess I spaced out a bit" Levy smiled "That's okay…anyways I was asking for schedule" Levy moved to stand beside Lucy.
"Oh! Umm right sorry…here" Lucy handed a piece of paper to Levy,Lucy watched as Levy's eyes shifted from side to side "We have the same class again!" Levy smiled.
The duo made their way to their next class, Lucy sat next to Levy since the seat was vacant. Levy's and Lucy's schedule were pretty much the same except for a few classes, If they were in the same class the two would walk into the hallways together but if they had different classes Lucy and Levy would meet up at their lockers, and every time they walked together Levy would talk about the next teacher of the class and in between conversations the two got to know each other quite a bit. Levy and Lucy seemed to have been getting along quite quickly.
-BELL RINGS-
As Lucy wandered through the halls, she heard someone call out her name "Lu-chan!" Lucy turned around to see Levy running towards her "Levy-chan!", "Hey Lu-chan! Wanna have lunch together?" Levy said after she caught her breath, Lucy smiled "Thanks for the offer but I'll have to decline" Levy frowned "What why?", "Well I kinda wanna explore the school on my own" Lucy half lied, she did want to explore the school on her own but she also didn't want to have lunch with anyone, she planned that she would have lunch alone on her first day of school, there wasn't really a reason to Lucy's decision she just wanted to.
"Oh okay…well what about tomorrow then?" Levy's frowned turned upside down "Sounds good" Lucy replied, Levy and Lucy exchanged good byes and parted ways.
Lucy wandered throughout the whole school, she got lost a few times but during the few times of her getting lost she found the Library and decided to have her lunch there, she went in and to her surprise there wasn't that much of students in the library but the library did seem pretty big, it had a second floor to it, the second floor had books for wall and a mezzanine(inner balcony) along the whole the whole floor, from the top you could looked down to the first floor, as Lucy was going through the Library she found the perfect spot, there was a beanbag and a coffee table "Pretty comfortable for a school library" Lucy sat on the soft bean and pulled out her book and her bento.
Lucy stretched her arms out and let out a yawn "This is so comfy, it's making me sleepy and I haven't heard a single noise around here" she checked her watch "15 minutes before lunch is over…I should get going and find my way to my locker, I might get lost…again" she reluctantly packed her stuff and went out to the school hallways.
After a few minutes of navigating through the busy hallways Lucy somehow found her way to her locker and she also bumped into Levy as she was looking for her next class.
-AFTER CLASS-
"Bye Lu-chan!" Levy waved goodbye while she walked out, Lucy waved back "Time to meet with Mira…hmm wonder where she would be? Maybe I'll check the faculty room first" Without another thought Lucy made her way to the faculty room, it was easy to find since it was at the first floor. When Lucy made it she saw the same white haired beauty she saw this morning by the school entrance.
"Hey Mira" Lucy greeted, "Lucy! I was just about to go look for you" Mira smiled and clasped her hands together "Shall we start the tour?" Lucy nodded.
"So, Lucy, how was your first day of school?" Mira asked "It was great!" Lucy exclaimed a huge smile on her face "That's good to hear, did you meet Levy?", "Yup! We got along well, and we also have a lot of common interests" Mira giggled "Really now? Well that's good, I figured she'd get along with you"
As Mira and Lucy walked from room to room Mira explained a few more things about the school, the teachers, certain activities and the principal. "And this is the room for the book club, but they do spend a lot of time in the library this room is for certain things like important activities and all" Lucy looked around the room "The book club, huh? Levy did mention that she was a member of it", "By the way Lucy, are you planning in joining any club?" Mira asked sweetly "Yeah! The clubs here sound really fun." Lucy walked out of the room "Well do you have one in mind already?" Lucy tapped her chin as she wondered "Well some are really tempting but I think I'm going to join the book club, Levy mentioned that she was a member and told me all about the fun activities they do" Lucy exclaimed happily "I see you like books too? Well if you are interested in joining another club, you can. The max amount of clubs you can join is 5 but only if you can manage with the activities" Mira explained "That's good to know! Maybe I will join more than one club."
The two girls continued to talk back and forth as they continued to go around the school. "This is the rooftop" Mira held the door handle and opened it widely "My feet are killing me! This tour has been on for about an hour now", Lucy went through the door and was greeted by a gentle breeze, she looked around "Wow" She said in awe "Relaxing, huh?" Mira stood next to Lucy "It sure is" Lucy took in a breath of the fresh air "You can even see the whole school from here!", "Yup! A lot of students usually stay here during lunch, morning or even after classes, but the rooftop doors are closed during class hours since students would usually go here to skip classes" Mira explained "I can see why" Lucy turned her gaze to Mira, a smile on her face "So, where to next?".
Mira and Lucy had made their way all the way down to the first floor and exited through one of the side doors to go out into the field, as they walked passed it they saw cheerleaders practicing "Maybe you should be a cheerleader Lucy, you'd fit right in!" Lucy looked at the cheerleaders "I don't think so, I'm not really good with that kind of stuff and it's not really my interest" Lucy smiled sweetly "And there's probably a lot of toxic people there, but they don't seem that bad".
They continued to go around the outside of the school, Mira explained things and Lucy listened, the tour was about to come to an end pretty soon, for now they were headed back to the school entrance "And that concludes our tour" Mira smiled "This school is huge! Just how long did the tour take?" Lucy yawned "Well usually the tour would take 4-5 hours but we somehow finished earlier with just 3 hours, I quickened up the tour just a bit so that we wouldn't have to spend that much time" Mira explained "Well you should get going now, I still have a few things to do before I leave", "Okay Mira, see you tomorrow, bye" Lucy waved good bye after Mira had said good bye to her.
"Hello Princess" Virgo greeted as she stood by the school gates "Virgo? How long have you been waiting?" Lucy raised a brow "I'm not quite sure, I think it was 4 hours" Virgo replied "What?! Why did you come here earlier?!", "I just wanted to make sure I'd be here one time, I'm sorry princess, are you going to punish me?" Lucy walked past Virgo and opened the car door "No, I won't…let's just go home now" Lucy got in the car and shut the door "Okay Princess"
-AT LUCY'S HOUSE-
"I'm so tired that tour sure took out a good amount of energy from me" Lucy crashed down onto the soft cushions of the living room couch "You should get ready for dinner, Princess" Virgo informed, Lucy grumbled in response. After a few minutes Lucy got up and went in her bedroom to change her clothes, she laid on her bed for awhile and went through her phone before going downstairs to eat dinner.
"Father? You're home early" Lucy said with wide eyes "Well I have a business trip to attend soon" Jude said without making eye contact with his daughter, Lucy took a seat at the dining table and shortly after the food was served, Lucy and Jude ate their dinner in silence but the silence was broken shortly after "So, how was school?" Jude asked plainly "It was good" Lucy replied, her voice blank "I see" Jude nodded, usually their dinners together would be quiet, with small talk here and there but this time Lucy felt awkward for some reason "Have you met people already?" Jude asked "Oh umm yeah, I met Mirajane Strauss, she showed me throughout the whole school and Levy McGraden, she brought me to my classes" Lucy sighed quietly "This is so awkward" Jude nodded once again "That's good, well then, I'll be going now, I'll be back in a few days" Jude stood up, Lucy as well stood up to bid her father farewell, they were both in front of the main door, Jude opened the door "Bye Father, take care" Lucy waved even though Jude's back was faced to her, Jude looked over his shoulder and nodded in response, Lucy wasn't surprised it was always like this with her and her father.
After Jude had left Lucy lounged around the house before going to bed "Fairy Tail Academy, so far nothing bad has happened" Lucy sighed in relief "But I still need to prepare myself for what's to come, with a big and popular school like Fairy Tail Academy comes a lot of students and amongst the students will be the jerks, snobs, spoiled brats, gossipers, delinquents, playboys and more…I'm just glad that I haven't encountered any of those people on my first day and hopefully I won't on my second" Lucy fluttered her eyes shut and slept peacefully through the night.
