(September 2nd,2015)

"Princess, hurry up you're going to miss the bus."

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Lucy looked over her outfit one more time making sure everything was perfect. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans with white air forces topped off with a white long sleeve shirt with stars across the chest. She possessed blonde hair so it complemented her outfit as the stars were golden. She put on her little make-up as she was running late for her first day of school. It wasn't just any school. It was high school. High School was where you meet your friends, go on dates, and have so many awesome adventures. She was going to be a freshman and she was just excited to finally start growing up.

She grabbed her backpack she had gotten ready last night so she could just run out the door. She seized her phone and looked over herself one last time before hurrying downstairs and running out the door saying bye to Virgo.

"Princess you forgot to eat," Virgo exclaimed but it was too late as Lucy was an earshot away. Virgo was Lucy's caretaker as her father. Jude Heartfila was a very busy businessman and was always traveling. This wasn't ideal for Lucy, so she was in charge of her whenever Jude was on trips which were all the time. She hopes Lucy has a good day in school today and doesn't get too hungry later. If she tells Virgo this later, Virgo will just laugh and say I told you so.

"Lu-Chan!" Lucy was walking gently past people to get into a big building that was Fairy Tail High. She turned around to get hugged by a petite, blue-haired girl with glasses. She instantly recognized her immediately.

"Levy! I missed you so much."Lucy had been away most of the summer and couldn't stay in contact with her friends and especially her best friend Levy. They had been inseparable since they met in 6th grade. They had so much in common that they were sisters.

"Same here Lu-Chan, you ready for High School?"

"Yes and no. I'm still nervous, but I still want to do it. Let me guess you're extremely nervous?"

"L-Lu-channn!" Levy embarrassingly stuttered.

"I'm just joking, there's nothing wrong with that," Lucy chuckled.

"Levy, let's hurry, we are going to be late for our first periods." Lucy would have said let's see how many classes they have but the first bell rang indicating that there were 4 minutes to get to class otherwise you were late. They pushed open the battered doors and found themselves in front of many students talking, going to class, and opening their locker. Lucy gulped. Hopefully, her outfit was enough as she and the other girls and saw them wearing dresses and more fancy stuff. She carefully took a deep breath and said bye to Levy as they had to go opposite directions. Her first period was chemistry. She wasn't the best at science, but she was glad to get it out of the way first thing in the morning. She hoped she would; get lost but unfortunately, she did as this was a big school. She had gone down long hallways and took many flights of stairs only to be in the wrong classroom. She must have taken the wrong right or the wrong stairs. She had no idea where she was.

"Are you lost?" Lucy turned around and saw a brown-haired man with glasses. He was wearing sweats and a plain white shirt with flowers on it. He looked like he worked out and had a cute face with a strong jawline. He was pretty cute, and Lucy didn't help to blush.

"Yes, could you help me, sir?"

"Of course miss and don't call me sir, my name is Loke" he chuckled

"Thank you and don't call me miss; my name is Lucy." Lucy giggled too.

"What a pretty name you have. Where are you going?"Lucy's face had become a tomato when she heard that. She didn't know what to say to that, so she didn't answer.

"Um, the chemistry labs." She exclaimed anxiously.

"Oh there upstairs and to the right you can't miss it." Lucy quickly hurried when she instantly heard that. She didn't want to be that freshman who is lost and was late. Well, she did get lost but still had a chance not to be late.

"It was nice meeting you, Lucy."

"Likewise!" She called out as she went up the stairs. She took the right and saw the labs. She sighed, Loke hadn't lied to her. Before she promptly entered the room she made sure it was the right lab room and as she entered the bell had sounded. Relief rushed all over as she wasn't late.

"Good morning everyone! I am Mr. Grynder but you can call me Mr. G if you want."

Mr. G was a short man with jet-black hair and light green eyes. He was traditionally wearing a classic black and white suit as all teachers were required to and he bore a small scar under his eyes.

"If you haven't found your assigned seat, please check my desk as there is a seating chart." Lucy hoped she wasn't seated with a person who wouldn't do their work. The classroom was in a regular science classroom as they were only two people per counter. She examined the chart and discovers her name at the back of the class. She groaned. Lucy wasn't that tall as she; stood 5'2. She was going to ask the teacher if she could go closer later this week. She also realized she didn't know anyone in the class and didn't know who she was seated next to. Natsu Dragneel. Who was that? Then again she had no idea who everyone else was as she looked around the classroom. She quickly made it to her seat only to find the seat next to her missing. Her partner was late. She wondered what Natsu Dragneel would be like.

Mr. G started taking role and as he said Natsu's name, there was no answer.

"Does anyone know a Natsu Dragneel?" No one said a word, so Lucy realized he was a brand-new student. Fairy Tail High had two middle schools fed into it. Love and Lucky Middle School and Northwest Middle School. He didn't go to Love and Lucky as Lucy went there and never heard of a Natsu and the people in her class were most likely from Northwest and didn't have a clue of who he was so it made it clear to her. Mr. G moved on and said "Lucy Heartfila?"

"Here!"

"What's one thing you would like the class to know about you?"

"I like going stargazing."

"Hmmm very interesting, I also like to go stargazing at times."

Mr. G finished taking the role and started his lesson. Lucy is in the back of the class and had a hard time writing down all the notes as she was behind taller people than her. But she still tried her hardest and copied the notes of the people in front of her, hoping they took the right notes. Twenty minutes have passed and there was a knock at the door. Mr. G stopped teaching and went to go answer it. When he opened the door, there were two mysterious figures. One of them was really small and very old and the other was pretty tall and had on a scarf. Lucy couldn't tell what hair the stranger had as he was relatively tall and she couldn't see it.

"Excuse me for one moment class." Mr. G steps into the hallway with the two figures.

The class was whispering about how tall the guy was and about his weird scarf in the late summer. Mr. G stepped back in and the tall stranger walked in too.

"Everyone, this is Natsu Dragneel. He was a transfer student, so he was taking a tour around the school. Natsu tell the class something about yourself."

"Um, I have salmon-colored hair." Natsu's smooth but deep voice answered. Lucy looked at her new partner and took his peculiar appearance in. Natsu was wearing black distressed jeans with red and white Jordan 1s with a red and white NBA bulls shirt on. He was tall and had a lean figure with black onyx eyes. Lucy was thrown off by two things about him. His hair color and the scarf he wore. It was like 70 degrees outside, was he not hot? He was attractive, Lucy could admit that as his jawline looked like it cut down anything.

"If it's not impolite to ask, how tall are you?" Mr. G asked.

"Like 6'3 or 4" Natsu exclaimed as if it was nothing. Wow, he was tall. Lucy was a whole foot and an inch or two shorter than him. He was a New York City skyscraper while she was a tiny ant.

"That's pretty tall," Mr. G chuckled."your assigned seat is back there next to Lucy Heartfila. Please show him the notes that he missed Lucy."

"Yes sir," she answered. Natsu gently made his way to the back of the class. As he walked, Lucy couldn't help to notice his tone biceps as they looked phenomenal. Lucy realized that the other girls were swooning over him. Lucy could see why as he was hot but even though he was hot as fuck, Lucy cared about the personality of a person. You can be the hottest man in the world but if you were a dick, Lucy would cut you off. She despised them and judged people by their personality.

Natsu sat down next to her and Lucy noticed the height difference when he sat down. Man was he tall. She was getting a little nervous and forgot how to talk for a second as when she was nervously trying to say something nothing came out.

"Are you ill? Your face is a little red."Natsu whispered to her. He noticed she was getting red and hoped that she wasn't sick.

"No-o I'm not haha" Lucy stuttered. She can't believe I'm already blushing."I'm just nervous about the first day." Lucy cursed under breath for the stupid excuse.

"Oh okay." Lucy's sweatdropped. Either Natsu was unusually dense, or he didn't care.

"Do you want the notes?" Lucy whispered as she was proud she didn't stutter.

"Sure but show me later I'll take the rest of the notes so it's fair." He calmly said. He didn't know what was getting into him as he said he was going to be cold and independent this year. But here he was talking to this stranger. Actually, She isn't a stranger. She was Lucy, and he didn't know how to explain but he didn't want to be cold to her. He desperately wanted to keep talking forever and befriend her.

"You don't have to. I can do it myself." Lucy blushed a little when she heard him.

"Nonsense, you helped me and so I will help you in return."Natsu slowly said.

"Fine." Lucy's face was so red she couldn't speak anymore. She looked away from him because she needed to get her confidence back. What she didn't recognize was that she was gaining a little crush on Natsu Dragneel, but she didn't realize it. 20 minutes past and the bell rang. Students got started leaving. Natsu stood up and looked at Lucy. really taking her in. She was cute. No, she was so gorgeous. Her jeans fit her legs well, and the shirt was a tight-fit so he could see her bust. Man, he wasn't complaining. Her golden-brown eyes, like the afternoon sun shining gloriously through a polished glass of whiskey. Her small heart-shaped face. Her adorable golden hair. Man, she was perfect. He realized that he might have a crush on this girl, but he couldn't act on it. As he had a key goal and she would just be an obstacle.

Lucy could see Natsu diligently studying her like she was a midterm. She instantly started to blush again. Why was he staring at her like that? Was something wrong with my outfit? Did he think I was ugly? Oh, Mavis please shoot me right now. Her face was burning, and Natsu Dragneel was the cause.

"Can I have your number?" Lucy heard that as she was taken out of her unusual thoughts.

"Huh"

"Can I have your number?" Natsu repeated carefully.

"Why?" Why did he want my number?

"So I can send you the notes, and you can send me yours." Natsu chuckled. This girl was more nervous than he genuinely thought. Natsu handed her his phone and said,

"Here just put your number in and I'll send you the pictures." Lucy hesitated but she did it anyway. Natsu put his; phone away and started walking away with Lucy following him to leave too. He suddenly stopped and turned around looking straight into Lucy's brilliant eyes. He comfortably placed; hand on Lucy's shoulder.

"Hey I know you're nervous, but you will be fine," he assured her "if you want to talk about I can be here to listen." Lucy's nervous face was a tomato now. She didn't know what to say.

"Uh-h tha-nk you" That's all Lucy could muster out. She had lost it when she instantly felt his gentle hand on her frail shoulder and then hearing him what he said. Natsu scarcely removed his hand and turned away to start walking.

"Call me later if you want to talk about it," he called out as he dissolved into the crowded hallway. Lucy couldn't believe that just happened. She properly processed everything that just happened but then realized something. She can't call her later; he had to. That tall attractive idiot.
