second chapter. =] thx for everyone reviewing. it means a lot. im learning more and more stuff, but im still a noob. XD Hiro Mashima owns the characters.

'Oh, where did I put my lunch?' Lucy was thinking as she was rummaging through her locker as quickly as she could. The 17 year old wasn't exactly what you would call organized, so looking for her lunch in her locker was nearly impossible.

"Found it!" Lucy said to herself, pulling out a small brown paper bag with her lunch inside. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a juice carton, and a chocolate chip cookie. Meanwhile, Lucy was so enthralled in finding her lunch that she didn't notice a redhead with beautiful facial features walking over to her.

"Lucy?"

"AHH!" Lucy yelled, dropping her lunch in the process. "Oh, Erza. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you coming." Lucy said, bending over to pick up her lunch.

"It's alright. I was coming over here to ask you if you would like to eat lunch with some of the girls in our class." Erza said, when Lucy had stood back up.

"Oh. That would be great! Thanks. It's really hard to be new at a school." Lucy said, while walking together with Erza to the lunchroom.

"I understand. Some of the other girls were new too. But they fit in immediately." Erza stated, with a big, rare smile.

Lucy smiled back, and as they entered the lunchroom, the first person she noticed was the boy with rose colored hair, arguing with Gray. As she looked at him, she could remember the way his hand felt. 'Rough, but warm.'

Lucy could feel her cheeks getting hot as she and Erza walked over to the table with a few girls from class.

"Lucy, I'd like you to meet Juvia, Levy, Cana, Bisca, and Mirajane."

Lucy looked at each and every girl. Juvia was a pretty girl, with short blue hair. Levy, too, had wavy blue hair, and she held it up with a thin headband. Cana had long dark brown hair, and a flask that smelled a bit like alcohol.

Bisca was a gorgeous young woman, with long, sea green hair, and bright eyes. Finally, Mirajane was probably the most beautiful of all. She long, flowing, snow white hair, and a perfect heart shaped face.

"Hi Lucy. Nice to meet you." The white haired beauty said in a sparkling, sugary voice.

"Hi. It's nice to meet you all. I'm so glad I have friends to sit with."

"Don't worry Lucy. You can always sit with us." Levy said, smiling.

"By the way, Lucy. I seen you holding hands with the hot head over there, Natsu." Cana said, slurring her words.

"Yeah, why was that Lucy?" Bisca said, curiously.

"Oh, um... well, he reached out his hand, and I shook it. But I guess we forgot to let go." Lucy stated, her face burning with every word she said.

"Why didn't you let go?" Juvia asked, obviously happy she had held Natsu's hand, and not Gray's.

"Well, um... I'm not sure..."

"Lucy, do you have a crush on Natsu?" Erza said, with a playful smirk.

"What? Of course not! I don't even know him! I don't know anything about him! Why would I like him?" Lucy sputtered out sentences, while her face was turning 10 different shades of red.

"Lucy, don't worry. You can have him. Each of us girls have a special someone." Mirajane said, with a smile on her face.

"Really?" Lucy asked, amazed that every one of her friends had a special someone.

"Well, I think Gray is handsome and strong" Juvia piped up first, gazing dreamily at Gray, who was now stuffing his face with a hot dog.

"Well, Gazille may look mean, but I know he must be so nice underneath all those piercings." Levy said, looking at the pierced young man with jet black hair.

"Alzack is just perfect for me. I've known him for such a long time. And he's so cute." Bisca said, her eyes staring at the young man with long, black hair.

"Macao is a gentleman. If we went to a bar, and I was broke, I know he would pay for me." Cana said, smiling.

"I have my brother Elfman. However, Fried is a bit cute." Mirajane said with a small, bashful smile.

"Erza, do you have a special someone?" Lucy asked nervously, for she had seen when Erza gets mad.

"Oh, please. Everyone knows she's got the hots for Gerard" Cana slurred, too drunk to care if Erza kills her.

"Shut up, Cana. Okay. Fine... I have a small crush on Gerard." Lucy followed Erza's stare to the young man with royal blue hair, and a dark red tattoo on the right side of his face.

"Wow Erza. He looks good." Lucy said, her eyes setting on the intricate tattoo that snaked its way down his head.

Erza started to blush, but quickly changed the subject. "Lucy, when are you going to confess your feelings to Natsu?"

Lucy blushed and said, "I already told you. I don't like him."

"Lucy, please. It's so obvious. I just say his name and you turn red. Face it, you like him."

"Okay, maybe I do. But I can't confess to him. I barely know him. I think we should be friends first, and then maybe see where that leads."

"That's not a bad idea... But, I don't think you guys are gonna be friends in the beginning. You two will instantly fall in love. Then, you two will get caught up in the moment, and ravage each other." Erza said, laughing.

"Erza!" Lucy exclaimed, turning red. She turned to look at the pink haired boy. She noticed he had a huge smile, and big eyes. She also noticed that he had some muscle...

'God Lucy. Stop thinking about him that way. You don't even know him. First, be friends. Just friends.'

Lucy turned around because her cheeks felt hot for the 100th time that day.
