~Luck of the Unwanted

Chapter 5

I smiled at the full body mirror. I then walked to my bed, gathered my backpack, and headed downstairs. I walked through the living room first but found no one to be there. I know Wendy was up this morning so I am not the only one awake. Where is Grandine and Igneel? Must be at work….

Suddenly I smelt a delicious aroma emitting from the kitchen. I smiled and made my way towards the smell. When I walked in Wendy smiled. She was wearing the same outfit as me. The girls wear a black and gray plaid skirt with a white long-sleeved button up shirt and a red blazer. To accompany it you have a black ribbon that you can basically put anywhere. The guys had to basically wear the same things with the exception of the skirt and ribbon. Instead they had to wear a black tie.

"Are you excited?" Wendy asked. In response I nodded with a huge smile on my face causing Wendy to smile back.

I looked back at her uniform. Since she was wearing the same as me, she has to be in high school correct? The only problem is that she is barely 13 so there is no way….

'Why are you wearing the same uniform as me?' I wrote on my whiteboard. She giggled a bit before responding.

"Sorry. I should be in the 8th grade but I skipped kindergarten therefore I am a freshman in highschool." She said with a huge smile on her face. Looking at her smile I couldn't help but smile as well.

"Breakfast is almost finished and Natsu should be down soon." Wendy said as she returned to flipping pancakes. I nodded in response and went to the living room to see what could be on tv at this time of the day.

Not to my surprise there was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Unless you count the news on different channels and some church preachings. I sigh and flipped the tv off. No point in watching it anyway.

"Lucy-san? Are you ready to eat?" Wendy called from the kitchen. I quickly stood up and made my way towards the dining room. I sat down and looked at the food that Wendy had already set out. It wasn't but a second before she walked in with a tray full of toast. If I was just a visitor, I would ask what all the food was for. But you have to remember Natsu….Speaking of Natsu, I am surprised he isn't down here. I quickly took out my whiteboard.

'Why isn't Natsu down here yet?'

"Oh he will be. In 3…2…1-"

"Good morning everyone. I knew I smelt food." Natsu said as he took a seat in front of me.

There were many things wrong with this picture though.

1- Natsu was eating like an animal. Which I understand since he didn't eat supper last night but still….

2- Natsu still wasn't ready for school

3- Natsu was in his boxers.

"Uhmm. Natsu….. You know you are still in your boxers right?" Wendy asked as her face was starting to get a pink tint on her face.

"Hm? Oh these? Yeah why?"

"B-because Lucy-san is here and you need to a little self respect." She answered.

"Luigi? Oh she is basically part of the family now so its fine." So he considers me a part of the family….

I got the sudden feeling of having those anime stars in my eyes for some reason just now… weird…. Wonder why….

After everyone was finished, Natsu made his way upstairs to get ready and somehow made his way back down in like 3.56 seconds. We then grabbed our things and started the five minute walk to school.

The walk there was silent. Only once we reached the school building and a few kids started talking to us did Natsu or Wendy respond. Wendy introduced me to a few people while Natsu was conversating to random strangers I don't know. He seems to be pretty popular. Surprisingly considering his habbits.

When we finally made it to the large double doors leading into the school, Wendy excused herself and I was left with Natsu.

Short flashback

"Gomen ne Lucy-San. I would walk with you to the office but I remembered that we are doing a presentation today and my group still has to prepare for that. Natsu will walk with you though. Correct Natsu?" Wendy asked emitting an almost deathly aura. Even I was scared of the small 13 year old.

"S-Sur Wendy. I would love to walk with Lucy to the office to receive her s-schedule." He responded. Never thought I would live to see the day where Natsu would stutter…. Hilarious.

Short Flashback End

And so this is how we got the awkward situation we are in right now. Or at least it is to me. Natsu probably isn't paying the least bit attention to it. I should most likely just stop thinking about this and walk. We have to be approaching the office soon. I feel like it has been an eternity since Wendy departed.

And just as the thought crossed my mind, the office soon approached. Natsu slowed down a consideringly amount and I almost walked into his back. He turned around and faced me as I gave him a questioning look.

"You go ahead inside and I will wait out here." He explained. I nodded and walked into the spacious school office.

"Excuse me how can I help you?" A lady with light blue, almost sliver, hair asked. I quickly took out my whiteboard and started to write quickly.

'Hi I am a new student and I need my schedule.'

"Oh yes of course. Name?"

'Lucy Heartfilia.' I showed her and she quickly typed my name.

"Ah here you are." She said as she clicked a few things with the mouse and the printer started its cycle. After a few seconds she grabbed it carefully and handed it to me.

"There you go. Enjoy your time here. We are glad to have you." She said with a smile as I grabbed it and made my way back outside. To my surprise Natsu was still there waiting even though the bell had long ago rang signaling the start of class.

When he noticed I had finally walked out, he made his way to me and took the schedule out of my hand.

"You have the same homeroom as me, we will have first, second, third period or lunch, fifth, and seventh period together (To make this clear, I am not in highschool yet so bare with me cx)." Natsu said nonchalant. Is he happy? Sad? Excited? Disappointed? Gah! I can't seem to figure him out! This morning he said I was a part of the family and now he is acting like he doesn't even want me near him in class.

Even so we walked to what I was assuming to be first period. When we finally got there, Natsu walked in first. I stood there though smiling like because I can finally get to go to school. Real school with real class mates.

I was also kind of scared when I heard the teacher scolding Natsu when he walked in late. Does he do this all the time then? Hmm….After a second of debate, I finally knocked and walked in the classroom.

"Ahhh Miss Heartfilia. Welcome to Magnolia High. I am your first period teacher Macao. I will be your math teacher. If you would write your name on the board and introduce yourself please." He said returning to the work on his podium. Was he not informed?

I made my way slowly to the chalkboard wondering how I could possibly introduce myself. I picked up a piece of chalk. I quickly and skillfully wrote my name in both English and Japanese earning a few gasps by knowing a foreign language. I then moved underneath the phrase.

'Hello my name is Lucy Heartfilia. I hope we can all be friends!' I wrote. I got a lot of confused looks. I took out my whiteboard and wrote 'MUTE' in all capital letters. After that a lot of confused facing went away and questioning faces replaced them. I hope they are not wanting an explanation. I cannot handle that.

"Nice to meet you!" "Welcome to our class." "Hope we can be friends." Went around the room. I smiled a wide and cheeky smile. Tears nipped my eyes and I tried not to let them show. I have never really experienced this before.

If someone were to ever ask what I was thankful for, I would most definitely have to say two things.

Grandine and Igneel.
