The next morning I woke up to get ready for the second day of school. Today I wore a pair of jeans with a long sleeved sweater with black and blue stripes all around it. Today it started snowing and sadly I can't drive in this weather because my mom's car isn't good enough in this weather. I walked downstairs to get breakfast, which today was waffles and bacon. "Miss Lucy, I will be driving you to school today." I looked at my driver, Capricorn, who was talking. I knew it was either that or Iwalked so I agreed. "Ok that's fine." I said walking and getting into the car. We rode in silence but then I broke it when I asked him to stop. "Capricorn, can you let me walk from here?" I asked politely. "Miss Lucy, are you sure? I mean it's snowing pretty badly." He said with wide eyes. "Yes, I still don't want to draw attention to myself." I reasoned but before he could answer I got out and started walking. The school was only a little farther but damn it was cold. When I finally arrived at the gate I was late.
I walked into Mr. Clive's room and took my seat next to Natsu. "Lu-Chan, where were you?" Levy asked frantically. "Don't worry Levy, I just had to walk to school today." I said, trying to calm her down. "You walked to school while it's a blizzard outside. Why on Earth would you do that?" She questioned. "Well my mom's car doesn't work well in the snow so I had to walk." I told her hoping she wouldn't ask any more questions. "Fine, but you do realize you can ask for a ride from me, ok." She said and turned around to listen to Mr. Clive's lecture. So far in math we were learning about dumb Proofs. I mean when we will ever need any of this anyways.
Ring* *Ring* The bell rang and my next class was gym. How fun. (Notice the sarcasm.) Levy and I walked to the gym together yesterday. I missed that period and have no idea where it is and the fact that we got really close over the past day. After changing I meet the gym teacher Aquarius. She looked at Levy and then at me. "Who are you two?" Aquarius asked, tilting her head to the side and scowling. "Well this is Lucy, she's new, but I'm surprised you don't recognize me. I am in your class and always come." Levy spoke up flashing our teacher with an innocent smile. I knew she was lying to her because just on our way here she was talking about how she always skips gym and goes to the library. She said it was easy because Aquarius never does attendance and just marks everyone here and changes. Then Aquarius looks at both of us and makes a tch sound and walks away.
Levy looks at me and smiles. "So want to go to the library?" she asked. "Of course, you don't even need to ask." I replied almost jumping up and down. When we got to the library I couldn't help but gape. It was huge, just as big as the one at my house. Levy decided to introduce me to the librarian. His name is Mr. Crux and one thing I learned about him was that he tended to fall asleep fast and often. Levy showed me where all the different books were and where you can read with some other random places. There was even this one room that's really hard to find that's perfect for reading.
Civics and English went by in a flash and it was time for lunch. As much as I wanted to go back to the piano Levy was introducing all of her friends to me. "Are you ready to go Lu-Chan?" Levy asked me. "Ya just lead the way." I told her. The cafeteria wasn't that far away and I packed my lunch. We came to a table with a bunch of girls and Levy sat down, so I decided to sit next to her. "Everyone this is Lucy." She introduced me. "Hello my name is Erza Scarlet, student body president." A girl with long red hair said. "Juvia thinks that it's nice to meet you." A girl with longish blue hair said whose name I'm guessing is Juvia. Next was a girl who was drinking beer. "Hi." *hiccup.* "My name is Cana." She said, "It's nice to meet you. My name is Mirajane but you can call me Mira." A girl with long white hair said politely.
As I looked around the cafeteria I noticed that like I would have expected everyone seemed to have a group. For example, quiet, loud, geeky, and popular people were all sitting at different tables. Although one strange thing that I saw was that most of the girl's eyes were looking at one table, I followed their gaze to a group of boys all sitting at one table. It seemed as though now one at my table cared or noticed them or the strangeness of all the girls staring at the guys. "Uh why are basically all the girls staring at that table?" I asked, pointing towards the table full of boys. They all looked at each other, most likely deciding who would explain. Erza was the one to speak. "Well they're in a famous band called Iced Flames, and to answer your question mostly all the girls are obsessed with them." She explained taking a bite out of her cake. Mira continued for Erza after she got mesmerized by her cake. "Well they all or almost all of them can play all of the instruments needed but they usually each play a certain instrument. Gajeel, the one with too many piercings, is normally the drummer and Loke, the one with orange hair, is usually the main guitarist. We also have Gray, the one without a shirt, he's the bass guitarist or piano player, and last are their singer and backup guitarist, Natsu. He's the one with the pink hair, but will deny it saying it's salmon. They also have their manager who is Jellal. He has blue hair and tattoos.
That's about it." She told me. "So why are you interested Lu-Chan could it be you like the pink headed boy you sit by?" Levy giggled. At this Mira's head shot up and looked at me with practically stars in her eyes. "What? No Levy I was just curious because when I got my seat and everything girls were looking at me weird, and now practically all the girls are staring at them." I said calmly. "I can imagine it now, Nalu. How cute would that be?" she squealed, smiling and at that comment the whole table sweat-dropped except for me. "Uh, what the heck is a Nalu?" I asked intelligently. "It's her ship's name so you and Natsu have fun." Canna told me, smirking. After another minute of Mira's squealing she fainted. The bell rang and they got up and started to leave. "Uh you guys forgetting someone?" I asked them. Erza turned around and looked at the poor unconscious Mira. "No, this happens all the time. She'll be fine like always." She shrugged.
I decided to go to the piano room again for my free period since everyone went to study.. Today I wanted to work on the lyrics to my song; I walked into the room, made sure no one was around, and closed the door. I did my warm up and played the scales. Then I started playing my song. (A.N this is by Delilah and is called "Strong for me.")
"Strong for Me"

I heard clapping behind me, and of course I spun around so fast that I ended up falling on the ground. He rushed over and helped me up. I saw that it was Gray. "Are you ok?" he asked. "Yea I'm ok but how long were you standing there?" I rubbed the back of my head and hoped that he would just got here and didn't hear me sing, but alas luck was not on my side today. "The whole time, it was really good, did you write that?" he asked. "Yea, I started writing it a couple of weeks ago." I said not looking him in the eyes. The thing is even though he heard me play the piano last time it was ok because he knew I was taking a piano course. Although this time he heard me singing, which I don't like because the only people who heard me sing before are the children at the orphanage I help out at. "So Lucy, do you play any other instruments besides the piano?" he asked, breaking me out of my train of thought. I wasn't sure if I should tell him but sense gramps said that I should tell at least a couple of people I trust I might as well trust him. "Uh yea, I play the bass, electric and acoustic guitar, drums, a few others and obviously the piano." I said listing them off. "Wow, looks like our new student has more talent than we thought." He said, chuckling. "Do I even want to know what that was supposed to mean?" I asked slightly confused. "Nope, I highly doubt it." He said smirking then leaving me alone to my thoughts. As the bell rang I walked to my piano class.
"Hello Ms. Lyra." I greeted kindly and walked to my seat/piano. After everyone was there and that didn't take long since there is about eight people in our class, Ms. Lyra started class. "OK, today we will be starting a project. Each of you will be paired up and write a duet. Here's the catch: not both of you have to sing but you both need to play the piano. Now I know some of you can't sing. I have paired you up with someone who can. Alzack and Bisca, Evergreen and Elfman, Mirajane and Laxus, and lastly we have Lucy and Natsu. You all have until Monday to complete the assignment." She explained.
I went to my last class of the day which of course was chemistry. I went to my lab table and sat next to Natsu. "Today you have multiple chemicals in front of you. You have Carbon, Chlorine, Oxygen, Potassium, Sulfur, Iron, Barium, and Lithium. You must use at least two of these chemicals; the most impressive thing gets five bonus points. One more thing, Natsu, if you want to blow something up go and take it outside and don't get Lucy hurt." Mr. Clive told us. "So Natsu, what do you want to do or make that won't kill us?" I asked looking over at Natsu. He was flipping through a book that had multiple equations in it. "Found it. Hey Luce, do you want to make fireworks?" he asked excitingly. With that dumb toothy grin he gave me and being so exited there was no way I could say no. "Fine, but as long as you're sure that those equations are correct." I told him. "Don't worry I've made them before and they work." He said. "Ok, then let's get to work." I said, grabbing the notebook and reading the procedure. First you did blank. Then you had to blank. With a few more steps last was blank. (A.N ok so I am not telling you guys how to make a firework I gave you the chemicals and that's it. Not going to be responsible if your guardians saw you reading this while making a firework.)
After completing all the steps necessary we took it to Mr. Clive so he could judge it. "Old Man wake up, we got the project done." Natsu said, hitting him in the arm with a book. "Who, what, where, huh?" Mr. Clive asked, looking around. "Mr. Clive, we've finished our project." I said to him, "Oh really and what did you do for your project?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Well we made a firework using Natsu's equations." I explained to him how we did it while Natsu added a thing here and there. "Well I guess there's only one way to find out if it works or not and that is to test it." Mr. Clive said.
After that Natsu, Mr. Clive, and I went outside to light it. We picked an area that was well opened and had few trees. Natsu lit the makeshift wick and backed up. Not even more than three seconds after it was lit it exploded. Although it only goes up a yard it was really cool. Red streaks shot up and floated down. Just before it was done though one of the streaks flew off course and into a tree; at first we thought it was off and nothing happened. We all let out a sigh of relief just before it caught on fire. "SHIT, GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER!" Mr. Clive yelled. I looked around trying to think of where I had put it. I found it resting against a different tree, which thankfully was not on freaking fire. I ran over spraying the tree with the extinguisher. Slowly the fire came to a stop and didn't catch back up. "Well I guess this is your most destructive project and more impressive than everyone else's; you two get the bonus." Mr. Clive said and then walked off. "Yes, that was actually pretty awesome if I say so myself." I said to Natsu. "YEA, WE LIT A TREE ON FIRE, AWESOME!" he exclaimed. I left him there in his own little world and went to my house.
