CHAPTER 3.
They all entered to what seems the living room. It was very spacious and had all the furniture arrange neatly to one another. There was a bookshelf full of books in it at the corner of the room. Lucy caught interest to the books that she saw and began walking to the corner of the room as if the books was calling her name and wanted to be read. She slowly traced her fingers to the books and pulled the ones she wanted to read.
"She still likes to read books?" Loke thought while smiling when he thought no one noticed. "I wonder if she still likes to read the same book that starts with 'once upon a time' like when she was little. Back then, she always said that she wants to be an author."
Loke just kept staring at Lucy, his smile turning into a smirk. Levy noticed Loke's action from the corner of her eyes but just stayed silent and leaves the living room, making her way to the kitchen following Natsu.
"Natsu, what are you doing?" Levy asked Natsu. "Hey, follow me I want to show you something"
"Huh, nothing. I was just looking in the fridge if there's any food here, I'm hungry" Natsu replied while taking some junk food from the fridge. "What do you want to show me?"
"Just follow me" said Levy leaving Natsu following behind her.
"Wait up Levy" Natsu cried out from behind her.
"Look at those two are they always like this?" Levy asked Natsu while pointing her finger with cautious towards Loke and Lucy so that they didn't notice. "I noticed that Loke is always taking a glance at Lucy whenever he had the chance."
"Those two? Yeah, their always like that." Natsu said while shoving more of the junk food into his mouth. "Maybe Loke had something planned in his mind"
"You really are clueless about love Natsu" Levy sighed. "I wonder who is going to be the future Miss Dragneel. She must have a lot of guts to fall in love with someone who doesn't even have clue about love"
"So, who is the other two that's going to live in the same roof with us?" Gray asked everyone out of the blue interrupting them from their own world.
"That would be us!" said someone in unison coming down from the stairs. All heads turned towards the voice and saw a girl and boy standing next to each other rather close. It seems like they were good friends.
The girl had a light green hair reaching her lower back and wore a polka-dotted scarf around her neck. She had stunning brown eyes and wore a plain black strapless dress that reaches her knee.
The boy had long black hair, covering the right side of his face. His eyes are black and he wore a simple red T-shirt and blue jeans.
"Hello!" they both said in unison. "Sorry if we made you guys startled"
"Hi, my name is Bisca Mulan and this is my childhood and closest friend Alzack Conell" Bisca introduced themselves with a friendly smile.
They began to introduce themselves too from Lucy who was still holding the book she was reading, Loke who managed to recover from his thoughts about Lucy, Levy who seemed to nudging Natsu with her elbow so Natsu would stop whatever he was doing, Erza who was looking around the living room before the two came and Gray who was the one asking the question earlier.
"It's a double-storey house?" asked Natsu blankly. "Cool, no wonder there is no room down here except for the living room and the kitchen."
Everyone sweat dropped at Natsu. It was obvious it was a double-storey house.
"No wonder, they got food in the fridge maybe the two of them went shopping before they came here" Levy thought remembering the food Natsu was eating.
"Let's head upstairs" Erza said. "Have you guys chosen a room yet?"
"No, we haven't" Alzack said for the first time after they arrived. "Even though we had seen the all the rooms, we want it to be fair. All the bed rooms are equally in size"
"Good, if you haven't" Erza replied bluntly while walking up the stairs and the rest followed behind her.
They reached upstairs only to found a gathering place for them just like the living room but much smaller. There's also a long table and eight chairs placed especially for study in the gathering place.
"So, how are we going to choose our room and roommate?" Natsu asked. "It seemed unfair if we just choose a room"
"I've got an idea" Lucy replied. "Hey Loke, you have a piece of paper?"
"Yes I do but you have to kiss me first if you want one" Loke said smirking.
Lucy just rolled her eyes seemed to be unaffected but inside, her heart was beating fast by his statement. She punched Loke's right arm and pretended that she wasn't affected by his statement successfully.
"Ouch, that hurts Lucy" Loke said acting as if he was hurt from Lucy's light punch on his right arm.
"Ha-ha… Not funny, Leo" Lucy replied. "Now hand me the paper already"
Lucy sometimes called Loke, Leo because his birth zodiac was Leo. Loke who took a piece of paper from his luggage handed it to Lucy.
Lucy began to tear the paper into eight pieces and folded them; each of the paper contains a number from one to four. The one who was with the same number are roommates and had to choose the room later on. She began to distribute the papers to everyone and left one piece for her own.
"I hope I got to be in the same roommate as Levy or Erza or Bisca. Not the boys" Lucy silently prayed.
Everyone open their piece of paper. Each had thought who was the one that got the same number as theirs.
"I got number three" Erza said breaking the silence. "Who got the same number as me?"
"It's me" Levy replied relief that her roommate wasn't one of the boys.
"I got number two" Bisca said to the rest who was still haven't known their partner yet.
"Hey Bisca I got number two too" Natsu replied being friendly while walking towards Bisca pairing up.
"Great, I dug up my own grave" Lucy said to herself silently crying in her mind, knowing she was the only girl left which means her partner was going to be a guy.
"Number four" Loke said smirking while gave everyone a look of his paper.
"No~ why does it have to be you of all people?" Lucy was now really crying. "Gray, Erza, Levy help me"
Lucy was now begging for Erza, Levy and Gray to switch partner but they refused. She had no other choice to be paired up with Loke.
"Why does this world have to be so cruel to me?" Lucy thought and muttered something under her breath that wasn't able to be heard by anyone except Loke because he was near to her.
"It won't be that bad" Levy tried to comfort Lucy but failed and asked "Is it that bad?"
"Yes it is!" everyone said in unison except for Bisca and Alzack.
"You don't know what Lucy has been through before we went to different schools with Loke" Gray replied standing beside Alzack. "Seems it was just like yesterday when Loke put a frog in Lucy's favourite shoes and she cried all the way home because the frog jumped out from her shoe and into her shirt"
"Remember when Loke sneak in to Lucy's room just to set a trap on her bedroom door with a bucket of freezing cold water inside it?" Natsu said "Then as if the whole house was shaking from five years old Lucy's scream and the day after she didn't came to school because she caught a cold"
Natsu and Gray began to laugh until their stomach hurts while Loke just chuckled at the memory. Erza was silently laughing in her mind while remaining her usual strict face. Levy just giggled unable to hold herself at her best friend's past. Alzack and Bisca just remained silent but smirk.
"It's not funny" Lucy said annoyed crossing her arms on her chest and her face bright red embarrassed at the memory.
"Okay, let's go and choose our room" Loke said the first one to recover from earlier.
"Hey the rooms have numbers on the doors we just have to follow the number on the door with ours" Erza suggested while walking to the room with the door number two on it. "Bye guys, see you downstairs at the kitchen. C'mon Levy let's go"
Lucy entered her own room first before Loke. The room was consisted of two queen-sized beds, two closets and two bathrooms. There were also empty bookshelves in front of the room next to each other for them to keep their books, bean bags for them to sit in, one small table in the between the bed alarm clock on top of it and a medium-sized balcony outside.
"I really thought that the principal was serious when he said the room only consisted of two beds and bathrooms but it turns out we have everything we need in this house" Lucy thought.
"Lucy, I picked the bed beside the balcony" Loke said while pointing to the bed he meant. "You take that one because who knows you might get scared from the thunder at night and saw lightning from the window" he teased.
"Whatever" she just rolled her eyes not caring and just continued to plop down on her bed before she unpacks her stuff to the closet.
She began to unpack her things from her luggage to her closet only to remember about something. "Six years ago, I remind myself to thank Loke about this necklace I was wearing. This is the right time to say my thanks to him"
"Loke" Lucy called out interrupting the silence between them. "I just want to say thank you. You know, for six years ago during my birthday. You and your family gave me this necklace"
"So, you still remembered about the necklace I gave you" he said looking into Lucy's direction with a smile while Lucy was holding the heart shape of the necklace. "You know Lucy, I thought at first you didn't want to wear it when I bought it six years ago"
"You bought this?" Lucy asked. Her eyes were wide.
"Yeah, I saved my money to buy you those six years ago" Loke replied smiling while unpacking his things from his luggage too.
"I thought you said it was from you your family" Lucy said.
"I lied. If I said it was from me, do you want to accept my gift?" Loke replied again still a smile spread across his face. "Because I remembered clearly you didn't want us to buy you a birthday gift, you thought it would cause us too much trouble. Knowing how stubborn you are, I knew that you wouldn't accept it unless I included my family in that matter"
"Oh" Lucy responded to think that he actually cared about her. "T-thanks"
"You're welcome, Luuucy" Loke said using his flirtiest voice.
This time Lucy grabbed her pillow and started to hit Loke with it. "There you go again!" Lucy cried out until their friends outside can hear her voice. "Stop flirting with me!"
"Okay Okay, I was just joking" Loke said while holding both his hands out in surrender and Lucy stopped hitting him. "Let's go downstairs and eat for lunch"
They both went towards the door and when they reached outside their friends are giving them an odd look except for Erza.
"What are you guys looking at?" Loke and Lucy said in unison.
"Oh nothing" they all replied and looked away from the two.
"They even said it in unison" Erza thought. "I feel like there's something going to happen between those two but whatever it is if that Loke did something bad to my best friend I surely will make him regret his decisions"
By now they already reach at the kitchen. It has a complete set of kitchen appliances including plates, cups, and glasses and cooking utensils.
"So, who is going to be the lucky person that has to cook for our lunch?" Bisca asked the rest of our house mate. "I'm not good in cooking if you ask me and so is Alzack"
"Lucy, why don't you cook for us?" Gray asked "You were good in cooking with your mother back then since you were six years old"
"Yeah Lu-chan you should cook for us" Levy said agreeing with Gray "I kinda miss your cooking when we were having our holiday"
"What? You always eat Lucy's cooking when you were in your old school?" Natsu asked kind of disappointed. "That's unfair"
"Yeah, she always shared her food in our old school" Levy replied "Why? You're jealous because you can't eat her cooking every day?"
Levy chuckled seeing Natsu jealous of her because she can eat Lucy's cooking everyday during lunch at her old school.
"Calm down guys. Okay I'll cook for us today" Lucy said "But I'm kind of lazy to make so much dish, I'll just make chicken and chips"
"Okay as long as you're the one who cook it and I'll eat it" Loke said sending Lucy one of his flirtiest smile.
Lucy began to check the freezer and the fridge and have all ingredients she needed. She was busy doing the cooking and didn't realise that Loke was looking her way when everyone else gone to the living room.
Fifteen minutes later, she had finished her cooking and called out the rest. Loke was pretending that he wasn't looking at her earlier when he walked into the kitchen and followed by the rest.
Natsu was the first one who sat on one of the eight chairs on the table on his right side was Erza and on his left was Gray. Lucy decided to sit next to Erza and far away from Loke as possible on her right but Loke sat in front of Lucy. Bisca, Alzack and Levy were sitting next to him.
Lucy groaned in annoyance but Loke just gave her an innocent look. She just started eating and ignored him during the entire lunch.
After half an hour they finished eating. Bisca and Alzack volunteered to wash the dishes since they got nothing to do and they already got their schedule from the principal.
"Why don't we take our schedule from principle Makarov now? We have nothing to do anyway" Erza said.
"Yeah, sure." Levy replied.
Gray and Natsu were having a friendly fight about something that everyone else doesn't seem to know but was shut up by Lucy.
"Lucy can be very scary than Erza sometimes" Gray and Natsu thought.
They were on their way to the principal's office to take their schedule and were surrounded by a group of boys and girls who admired them. Levy who doesn't like attention walked between Ezra and Gray, sure she was use to it since she was best friend with Lucy for the past years but never surrounded by this much of people because this time it's not Lucy alone, her group of friends got a lot of attention.
"Guys, I'm not feeling comfortable by this crowd" Levy said nearly shouting because of the crowd with squeling fan girls and the boys were arguing for Lucy's and Erza's attention.
"You'll get use to it" Lucy sighed "In fact I feel the same as you too, Levy. Why can't they just shut up?"
"Hey Loke, I dare you to shut their mouth" Gray said "It's getting really annoying you know"
"Me? Why does this have to be me?" Loke asked "Why don't we do it together shall we? Besides one person against hundreds wasn't fair"
"Whatever let's just run away from here" Gray replied.
As soon as they started running, Erza took out her map that she put inside her pocket to locate the principal's office. The principal's office was quiet close to their current location. They increase their speed and head towards the office.
When they arrive in front of the office door, they were pretty exhausted but managed to run away from the crowd. They knocked the principal's office door and twist the door knob as they heard a voice from the other side.
"Hello, principal Makarov were here to take our schedule" Loke said.
"Oh there you are. I see you guys were the last one to take your schedule from me" the principal said.
"Where did that voice come from?" Natsu asked.
"Down here" the principal replied, totally offended by Natsu's question.
Natsu immediately apologize about that seeing how offended the principal was.
"Please sit down" the principal gestured for them to sit in front of his desk.
They immediately sit down on the chairs and all their eyes were on the principal showing that they were listening.
"As you know, my name is Makarov. You can call me master or anything as you like because Fairy Tail Academy, treat each other no matter teacher or student like family" principal Makarov said "In this school I will treat you and take care of you like my own child"
"Ah, that's kind of nice" Lucy said "Then I'll never got homesick"
The principal handed in their schedule. "Here is your schedule" he said "You will be in the same class as the other year one in this school, you guys no need to move from one class to another unless the lesson was in the lab or the teacher asked you to move to the other class"
"Great, I have to be in the same class with that good for nothing Loke" Lucy thought and groaned in annoyance.
"One more thing, there is a change in plans for the year one in this school" the principal said "You won't be having the rest of the week to yourself because we teachers decided that the year one this year will be going to have orientation for the rest of the week to welcome all of you to this school"
"Orientation?" Erza asked.
"Yes orientation" the principal repeated. "You will be divided into different groups tomorrow in the auditorium. The orientation will consists of lots of games while you're at it you will know all the places around the school, we don't want our students to get lost next week before the class started"
"That would be wonderful" Natsu said, by now a grin made towards his face. "I can't wait"
The principal nodded and gave them their school uniform and PE attire for them, wrap neatly in a plastic bag. They received two school uniform and one PE attire.
"Be sure to be in the auditorium before nine o'clock" the principal said. "Wear your PE attire"
"Thank you" they all said in unison.
"And also, teachers and students will have fairy tail stamp on them" he said. "With that you were officially fairy tail students even after you graduated"
"Wow, cool" Lucy said "I'm going to have fairy tail stamp on me"
"Where would you like the stamp?" principal asked.
They told the principal where they wanted the stamp to be and when they finished they went outside but with lots of cautious, who knows the crowds were back.
"This school is a lot cooler than my old one" Lucy said.
"Of course it is" Loke said while giving Lucy his most charming smile.
By now they were surrounded by girls who at first were stalking Loke and came out after he gave Lucy his charming smile, now blocking their way to their house.
They pushed their way out and seemed to manage to run away from them as they continued running back to their place.
Erza was always the reliable one since she was the only one that has the key with them. They all forgot to bring their keys. Erza took out her key from her pocket and unlocked the door.
They all went inside and headed upstairs to their respective rooms after an exhausting day.
Lucy lay on her bed followed by Loke who took of his jacket and place it in his closet. They put their school uniform and PE attire in their closet and their schedule on the bookshelf.
"Lucy, I'm going to take a shower so don't try to peek on me" Loke said.
Lucy throws a pillow at him and managed to hit him on the face.
"More like you peeking on me pervert!" Lucy said "Now go take your clothes, towel and bathroom appliances and enter the bathroom already, I'm going to take shower too"
Lucy takes her pink silk PJ to the bathroom and her appliances to the bathroom. It's getting dark outside already. She just took a quick shower it was getting cold.
After a few minutes she already finished showering and wears her PJ. She dried her hair with the towel so her blonde hair will dried off faster.
At the same time they came out from the shower and Loke stared at Lucy as she dried off her hair with the towel.
"We look like a married couple" that words keep on running on his mind and he chuckled.
"What are you staring at pervert?" Lucy asked in annoyance.
"Now now Lucy, we treat each other like a family remember?" Loke reminded her and give her an innocent look.
"Whatever" Lucy replied not caring "I'll treat each other like family but not you"
He just chuckled and went to his bed. "So where did you get you stamp?" he asked Lucy changing the subject.
"On my right hand" Lucy said while showing her Fairy Tail stamp to him "You?"
"On my back" Loke smirk "Wanna see?"
"No thank you" Lucy replied "Pervert"
Lucy went to her bed and lie down, towel still on her hand. She sat on her bed and decided to call her parents. She took her phone from the bedside table and dialled her home number.
When the other line picked up, Lucy felt so happy hearing the voice.
"Hello" the voice on the other line greeted.
"Mom, it's me Lucy" Lucy said. "How are you?"
"Lucy? Yes, were fine, no need to be worried" her mother assured her.
"I met Erza and the rest here" Lucy said feeling excited.
"Well good for you" her mother replied on the other line.
"I know and I'm happy" Lucy replied.
"I know you were happy about it." Lucy can hear a giggle from her mother.
"Where is dad?" Lucy asked.
"He was already sleeping because too tired after a meeting today" her mother told from the other line.
"Okay, tell dad I called" Lucy relied. "I will miss you mom and dad"
"No need to worry about that, dear." Her mother replied "You know that were always with you even if we're not there and we'll always support your decisions"
"Thank you mom." Lucy said "I love you guys"
"Okay, okay. Stop being like that you will get homesick" her mother said while chuckling.
"Okay mom. Today I'm very exhausted so I'm going to sleep" Lucy said "Bye mom, love you. Tell dad I said that to him too"
"Okay dear" her mother replied "Goodnight"
As the other line from the phone ended, Lucy felt relaxed after talking with her mother until Loke came and asked "What time do you want me to set the alarm clock for tomorrow?"
"You know Loke you sure know how to ruin a moment" Lucy said "Seven would be fine"
"Seven it is" he said, proud that he ruined her moment.
Lucy placed her towel inside her closet while Loke set the alarm clock at seven.
The two decided they don't want to eat dinner because they were too exhausted to head to the kitchen again and cook.
Lucy lied down on her bed until she was fast asleep while turning to Loke's direction. He saw her sleeping form and decided to sleep too. He kept on looking at Lucy's sleeping form until his eyes felt heavy and drifted to sleep.
One sentence came on his mind at that time "Goodnight, Lucy"
I know it's been a long time since the last time I updated, it's because I've been busy with school lately and there was so many tests I have to study.
Sorry if there was any spelling and grammar mistakes.
Until next time :)
