Where we left off:

"Sure Natsu. Talk to you tomorrow." She chuckled slightly, "Sleep well." She was the first one to hang up, but I was left there to think about tomorrow. How would she answer to a collab. We didn't have to meet up to do it either if she didn't want to. I would be okay with just talking it over and sending each other recordings until we felt comfortable with each other first. This was completely in her hands now. How was she going to respond? Yes or No?

So much had happened that night, but one thing I hadn't expected to happen happened when I walked in with my laptop in tow. My father called me to his study and gave me a school uniform, "You'll be attending class at Fairy Tail High School starting tomorrow. I've made the decision that you have learned all that you can from your tutor." He said gruffly.

I nodded, "Y-yes father." I was so confused as to what brought this on that the idea of actually going to school was kind of terrifying to me. I suddenly felt very unsafe as though something terrible would happen. My name was finally outed to the internet and this was just horrible. I ran to my room to rant on tumblr. After opening my laptop I saw a ton of messages from other people in my ask box. I was not in the mood to answer questions, so I quickly made a text post titled it First day of Public School. Then I started writing.

Hello, shooting stars. I just want all of you to know that tomorrow is my first day of going to public school. If I am honest with you the idea of actually meeting all these new people is stressful, so their probably won't be a video tomorrow. I hope you can understand. FlamingDragon I apologize, but your ask is going to have to wait for a while. My ask box is flooded like crazy. Thank you for understanding. We will talk soon about whatever you were wondering about. I have to get to bed. Goodnight, shooting stars. StellarMage out! xoxo 3

After hitting 'Post', I shoved it on the charger into my laptop and did the same with my phone. I put both of the objects on my bed side table. Tomorrow was going to be a hard day. I took a bath and just starred up at the ceiling for a while. I kept hearing pings from my open laptop in the other room. No doubt it was probably all my followers wishing me good luck. As I let my bath thoughts calm me down I washed up. I wonder how many friends I'll really be able to make. I wonder if anyone will actually like me and talk to me. The thought of me being anxious over people seemed ubsurd to me. I wasn't a shy person and I was confident, but now with everything going on it just seemed like a mess.

I got out of the bath with a sigh and got into my pj's. I sat up in my bed with my laptop in my lap. I had decided to figure out what was going on with my messages, turned out it was more spam in my IM's saying good luck. A couple of people asking me what school I was going to. A couple of haters saying I wouldn't make it a day. I sighed as I responded to everyone quickly with just quickly written out answers. Then FlamingDragon sent an IM:

FlamingDragon: Hey, don't worry about it. We can talk later. I'd suggest turning your inbox off if you didn't yet. I hope school treats you well. I know it can be a little bit of a pain if you are a slacker like me.

StellarMage: Thanks for understanding, Natsu. I already did that, but that doesn't stop people from flooding your IM's either apparently. hehe -.-'

FlamingDragon: I feel you. Sucks when you are internet famous, right? No privacy. I've had at least three people find out where I live.

StellarMage: I think if anyone found out where I live. I'd be on tv and that's why I don't show my face. Not to mention my father would probably bust a lung yelling me out before sending my ungrateful butt to boarding school.

FlamingDragon: Well, if that's how I get to match a face to the voice so be it, Lucy. hah!

StellarMage: Oh ha ha. *Sarcasm* I don't think you want to see me like that. Your perception of me as a good person could be ruined.

FlamingDragon: Hey, don't judge a book by it's cover right? Everyone has their own issues. You might not see me as such a nice person if you saw everything I did.

StellarMage: Oh really? Let me guess. You are a rebel. You love fighting and are secretly in your schools underground fight club. ;)

FlamingDragon: Close, but not a fight club. More just that IceStripper guy gets on my nerves. His name is Gray and I love to pick fights with him. Mostly because it gives me a reason to ridicule him in front of the entire student body. He actually strips when he is in a fighting mood. It's hilarious.

StellarMage: If I were him, I'd kill you. Seeing as I'm not him, Congratulations. That's an amazing thing to say to someone who might be interested in dating him. I hope you don't mess up too many relationships there.

FlamingDragon: Don't worry. I'm not that much of a jerk. Besides, this girl from Phantom High seems to like the habit of his. It's kind of funny actually.

StellarMage: Well, Natsu. I should probably leave, but thanks for the support. See you around.

FlamingDragon: Night and no problem.

With that I shut my laptop and went to pack my bags. All my studio equipment went into bags as well as all the clothes in my dressers. I would be moving into a dorm tomorrow. The idea of getting way from here was actually appealing to me. I had been wanting to get out of this house forever and now I finally could. I could make friends and be one with society. I could make mistakes and fall in love. Fall in love... Why did my mind go to that? Probably because how I longed to feel what the people in books felt. I wanted my heart to race and my mind to soar.

As I packed up my room I seemed to dance around. I took a couple of posters from my walls and put them in a bag as well. At least my father wasn't going to question the weight of all my recording stuff It weighed about the same as the bags with my clothes in them. It was actually kind of funny how well I hid the fact I was internet famous from everyone. My father never noticed how tired I was, but I'm sure that tomorrow I'll be awake as I've ever been. I'm sure people will realize that I am tired from the work that I do. I just sat on my bed hoping that I wouldn't be a disappointment.

I starred around my empty room for a while. I climbed into my bed and I curled into the blankets with my eyes closed finally getting some sleep for the night.

NATSU

My second conversation with Lucy today. That's all I was thinking about as I wondered what school she was going to. What if she was in the same school as me? I laid in bed my laptop now pushed off to the side. I was rooming with Gray, so of course he knew about my double life as a student and a YouTuber, but he usually didn't get back until late because he was always on dates with his girlfriend, Juvia, or WaterWorks on Tumblr and YouTube.

They met over the internet and now Gray keeps teasing me about not having a relationship with anyone and then again, he doesn't know as much about my love life as I never truly talked about it. I sighed as I got ready for bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day with out my answer, but I would have to make it. At least until she feels comfortable in her new school.

It wasn't until I was in the shower that I realized something. Something that wasn't right. I was excited to go to school. For the first time in a long time, I was excited to stay in that prison like building and see everyone's faces. I shook my head and spoke out loud, "There is something wrong with me." I sighed and pressed my forehead against the wall of the shower. Nothing was more frustrating than that thought, "What is happening to me." I muttered as I made the shower start running cold.

After that, I got dressed and went to bed. Gray would be back soon and I wasn't in the mood to be questioned by him, because there was no doubt in my mind that he saw the conversation between us on YouTube. I shut my eyes and I immediately passed out on contact with the pillow. It was days like this I was happy that I was a heavy sleeper.

LUCY

I woke up that morning with an anxious mind. I ate breakfast, packed my stuff into a car, even got dressed in record timing. I kind of hated that my eyes were an open book to people because anyone who looked into her eyes could see how nervous she was feeling. She had never been around that many people besides at parties that were thrown for my father's business success. Then again, I wouldn't feel so trapped and alone all the time either.

It was time to leave, so I kissed my room goodbye and waved off. I was expecting my father to be against this whole thing, but he was surprising happy to see me off and that got me a little concerned. What kind of funky school was he sending me to? I looked at the schedule he had given me last night only to see the name of the school happened to be the one that I had wanted to go to since I was eight.

Fairy Tail Academy. One of the world's best schools and overall the school with the highest amount of school spirit. They held parades and giant parties. I wasn't going to fit in well at all, but I wasn't going to waste my chance to get friends and have a real life.

My dad drove me to the city and even offered to help me unpack, but I stopped him there, "I'm fine. There really isn't that much. You can help me bring the stuff into the room, but I can take care of everything else." I smiled, everything seemed to be going right for the first time in a long time. Then again. I would probably have to fix this no smile thing. Ever since my mother passed away it was hard to see in color because everything just seemed so boring after she was gone.

Imagine laying in a room where everything around you was just black and white. There is no sky of blue, no green grass, no sunlight. Just dull, boring black and white. That's all I saw. It is probably hard to believe that after all this time I would still be like that, but hopefully the change of pace would get something to spark in me and get me to warm up. That was at least my goal for the year.

As soon as everything was in my room I sighed and hugged my dad before he left. I wouldn't be seeing him for a while. As soon as he was gone I started unpacking all of my things from my many bags. I set up my laptop from on the desk and all my recording equipment and then I got my clothes put away into drawers. It was the middle of the year, so it wasn't a surprise that I was rooming by myself.

After I was done unpacking the school's principle wanted me in his office. Mr. Dreyer, despite being very very short, was a kind heart man. He had welcomed me to the campus and had given me a map of the grounds so I would not get lost getting to my class that started in around thirty minutes.

I left his office to explore and I notice some of the other kids immediately were looking at me. I didn't like the attention, but I wasn't like them and it was probably obvious that I was just different. They were happy that they were part of superior families and I was sitting here with a sad looking face. It's like they were trying to read me and I hated it.

Soon my time for exploring was over as I ran back to my room grabbed my things and ran to the classroom entering late. Little did I know that this would be my first encounter with Gray. I walked in late and the teacher made me introduce myself to the class, "Hey everyone. I'm Lucy." I said in a quite voice. Sure I can talk in a normal voice when no one was looking at her face, but this was kind of too much for me. I wasn't much of a public speaker to begin with. I got to sit next to a short girl with light blue hair and a boy with dark blue hair.

He turned to me and sighed, "Hey, I'm Gray. Welcome to Fairy Tail Academy." Something about what he said struck a cord with me. Gray. Natsu said something about a stripper named Gray going to school with him. I nodded and scratched her head as he continued, "It's nice to meet you, Lucy." He smiled at me and I gave him a half hearted smile back.

Around midway through the class we were given time work on our work and I was immediately working on it. That was until someone poked on my shoulder and smiled. It was the girl who I was sitting next to, "Hey, I'm Levy. Welcome to the school. I was wondering you seem to be having an easy time with this. Could you help me. I'm confused." She raised an eyebrow. Math wasn't nearly as easy as English was for me, but I nodded.

"Sure, I can give you a hand." I turned towards her and we started working. She was surprisingly easy to talk to, but what didn't go unnoticed was the stare that I was getting from somewhere in front of me. It was from a girl with white hair and blue eyes. She was stunning to say the least. I sighed and kept my head down, helping Levy with Math. Soon the class was over and I would have Chemistry. This was going to be an oddly stressful day considering I know nothing about Chem. I just would have to pray that I have a good partner.

Hey Guys!

Lucy is finally getting to meet people! Yey!

Anyways, sorry this took so long to get out I was struggling to think of a good thing to do.

I am not really the creative type. Now I gotta work on Unexpected Love For A Pyro? I haven't even started a chapter and it's been over a month since I actually updated that, so I apologize. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it.

I will was going to put this on Hiatus, but I changed my mind because I got an idea for what to do while out on a walk around my neighborhood.

I was like, "What if Lucy gets to go to school and meet her internet friends, but meets Gray and Levy before she meets Natsu?" I still don't know when Natsu is going to come into the picture, but it'll work out. Thank you for reading YouTube Escapades.

Much Love,
