...Fuck...

"I promise I can explain." I say.

"Yeah you've got a lot of that you need to be doing," Laxus started. "Let's start with where were you?"

"Just at the diner with some friends." I say. I can't tell him about what happened since I don't need him to worry about me more than he already does.

"THE DAY BEFORE ORIENTATION?"

"...yeah..."

"Ok missy, just don't expect to be going anywhere at night this week. You're grounded."

"WHA-!"

"Go get dressed, Mira is dropping you off so don't be late." He said giving me a death glare. I gulp and just drag myself upstairs. I know he's my brother, but he acts more like a dad to me. I get quickly changed into my uniform. Ugh, its bland but I don't make the rules. But if I did, a gray polo with a navy-blue skirt and long socks would probably be against the dress code, not the actual dress code.

I glance at my watch.

"7:49"

Shit! I have 6 minutes. I quickly make breakfast and run to my ride. A white-haired woman pulls up in a black BMW.

"Hey Mira!" I call.

"Hey Lucy! Hop in!" She smiles. Laxus and Mira have been dating for a while now, and she's now one of my best friends. Thank god for her, because if she didn't except my brother's lame love confession he would be forever alone. She was really the only one who could see through his tough man phased, and his tsundere tendencies. I open the passenger side door and enter the warm car.

"It's maybe because I haven't slept, but the car.. seems really... comfortable today..."

"LUCYYYY!"

"I can't even with her right now."

"Omg she totally had a crazy night haha!"

"Hey guys stop, now's not the time."

"Yeah, yeah shrimp."

"She's waking up!"

I slowly open my eyes to see some very familiar faces surrounding. Wearing amusement, shock, and worry.

"You slept through the whole orientation." said Erza.

"Yeah. But are you ok? Did anything happen?" Asked Levy.

"Why would you think that?" I ask startled. Of course Levy was always able to see through my lies just like Erza, but I didn't even say a word.

"I don't know... you just looked troubled when you were sleeping." She said.

"I'm fine. But enough about me. We have a few minutes until first period, let's catch up in our spot."

"Yeah so that's how I managed to heat up my hot pocket with glasses and the sun light."

"..."

"...we were talking about the camping trip.. how.. I-" Stuttered Erza.

I kind of missed this. Sitting in final row of the library. Mostly ignored since it's all extra textbooks. The squared window right above the bookshelf inviting in the golden sunlight. Us playfully making fun of each other but all in love. Just a bunch of teens acting goofy with one another. I never knew how much I needed this right now.

"Whatever you just hate me because I'm beautiful." Gajeel said whipping his hair. He got a cut so it's not so long, but he can still put it in a man-bun.

"Chille...anyways.. Mira's is doing really well. She's even become a bit of a celebrity! And she's about to open a bar." I exclaim.

"Wow, well I give her my congrats." Said Erza.

Riiinnggg!

"Ah fuck. Time to go to our cells." Moaned Gajeel.

"For the last time school isn't jail...well not exactly. And plus we have basically the same periods together. It's just Lucy doesn't have first with us, and we don't have P.E. with her and Erza." Replied Levy.

"Yeah yeah. Well we better get going. See ya!" Called Gajeel jogging to his first period class with Levy trailing behind him.

"We should get going Scarlet, Bye Lucy!" Said Jallal.

"See you later Luce." Erza said hugging me.

"Bye guys."

I make my way to my first period where I see a few familiar faces. Loke is in the back seat directly in the middle surrounded by girls.. as usual. Juvia and Lyon are in the front. Gray and Wendy are nowhere in sight sadly. I make my way to the widow seat, because how much more cliché can this fan fiction get. As more people spill in. Gray and Wendy finally show up and take their seats in front and behind me. We talk for a while until the late bell rings and our teacher enters the classroom.

"Hello students! My name is Mr. Clive and I will be your first period math teacher for this semester. I'm going to go ahead and take roll, when I call your name please answer with 'here', or if someone is absent please say 'absent'. No funny business."

And that's queue for me to tune out everything around me. I rest my head on my desk and use my arms a pillow as he calls students names.

"Gray Fullbuster?"

"Here."

"Wendy Marvel?"

"Here sir!"

e continues down the list until all the names have been called.

"Ok looks like only one student is absent today. Great." He sighed sarcastically.

He began to go through a review of the lesson we would be starting the next week after we got settled. In between asking questions I heard the door open. I mediately students began to whisper. It seemed to be mostly girls.

"Wow! He's so cute." One girl whispered.

"Right? I wonder if he has a girlfriend." Replied another.

"Oh my gosh! I think that's the new transfer student! The one who gave the really good speech at the entrance ceremony!" Came another.

"Do you see the scar on his cheek? He looks so cool!" Some girl squealed.

"Ahh glad to see you made it to class Mr. Dragneel." Said Mr. Clive.

I look up to see a tan-ish boy with spiky, salmon pink hair and a scar that ran from his chin to the bottom of his mouth. His eyes scanned over the room before landing on my own causing my stomach to flutter.

"Go ahead and introduce yourself boy." Our teacher said gesturing towards the class.

"Hello. My name is Natsu Dragneel."
