Chapter 2: The Day
Lucy's POV--
"What's with all the commotion?" Erza said with her hands on her hip.
The students were wilding up and rushing into one direction, I was staring at the ocean of people with the colors of white and checkered pants or skirts of red, white, and blue. The complements that were said to Erza and I stopped for about fifteen minutes, everyone was paying attention to something else except us two.
"We better find--." My voice was cut off when all the students were being pushed into large double doors.
'Where on Earthland is Gray?' I thought. I looked side to side and realized Erza was far away from me. "Erza!" I yelled. For a moment I thought someone just grabbed my ass and I shrieked. So many students were around me and I felt super uneasy. I'm claustrophobic, and that means I HATE being cramped and touched.
"A bunny girl!" Some boys excailmed, and I think I heard some whistling. I sweat-dropped and ducked down, crawling between people and heard some small commotions of guys. Thank the gods Erza must be there. "Erza!" I yell once more time. I found her and she found me, following Gray as well. I was finally next to them and Gray said something but I couldn't hear through the loud students. "What?!" I cupped my ears.
"I--" Our conversation was disturbed with the roar of screams and cheers of the students, jumping and getting excited.
"What is going on?!" I said as loud as I could.
Lights flashed before us, smokes and colorful rays spewed in the large room, and centered to a stage. Three figures rise up from the ground, somehow, shadowed by the white light behind them and I couldn't see them to identify who they were.
"Are you ready Harley High school?!" The center person, and I figured from the silhouette it was a girl, fisting her hand up in the air. The students wild up even more.
"We can't hear you~!" The left side person said, who had a distinct feminine voice. They got louder and louder and cheers. More lights bursts out and makes them more visual.
In the center was a girl holding an instrument with short platinum hair, wearing a sleeveless black corset over a white blouse. The frilly designs and golden buttons going down between her chest made her look so cool, she even had a white skirt with a white petty coat under, black boots up to her knees, and a bow on the side of her head. The other girl holding a larger instrument had aqua blue hair but tied in high twin tails, with black kitty ears, a black leather crop top, a tight, white skirt that had a cutting edge to the side of her thigh, and had blue pinpoint high heels. Finally, there was a guy with red hair that was styled with a bunch of layers and long behind a drum set, a gold crown on the side of his head, a heart painted around his right eye, wearing a black coat that had a gold chain to support it's hold on his shoulder, a white blouse that had a low v-neck, and a vest with the colors of red, black, and gold.
"Whoa! This time the theme is Wonderland!" Someone said close to us.
"Fairy Tale! Fairy Tale!!" They chant.
"Fairy Tail?" Gray said.
The bold red sign was lit up above them for display.
"No, it's t-a-l-e." Erza said. The platinum haired girl starts playing deep notes on the instruments to start out some song. Each time the musicians started to play, the students screamed louder and louder as they build this anticipation with the music.
They see you as small and helpless
They see you as just a child, surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon go wild
Prepare for your greatest moment

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" The crowd screams.
"That was...amazing." Gray said. He was going head over heels on the lead singer, by the look of his face. 'Haha, I see why Happy does this.' I thought mischievously.
"You liiiiike her~!" I said.
"What? No!" Gray say flustered.
"Come on, now it's our chance." Erza said.
"Wait." Gray said making Erza and I stop our way to the door, just a few feet away.
"Gray, you know we don't have that much time. We--."
"I've already met her." He said.
Erza and I looked at each other, "We did too." We said in unison.
Jace's POV--
Brit stretches her arms out and plops onto the sofa. "That. Was. So. Much. FUN~!!" She said childishly.
I smiled with my arms crossed, "Great job. Your voice was beautiful as always." Evan said while he placed his hand on my shoulder with a bright smile.
"Thanks." I said with a smirk. We all took out our wigs and changed out of our costumes in the changing rooms.
"Let's go out tonight guys." Brit said putting on her high heels, changing into her "outside clothes", as she calls them.
"I thought Hang Out Night is on Fridays?" Evan said.
"It still is, but this is a exception." She pointed out. "And this is our tenth concert! We NEED to celebrate." She said drastically.
"Lets just hope that my mom says yes." I said leaning back on my right leg.
"Right..." Evan and Brit said.
"I've got to go home anyways right now, I'll let you guys know if I can. It's still noon." I said as I fling my bag on my back.
"And change into something else except those uniforms you wear!!" Brit hollers before I close the door. She always says that to me, I always wear some kind of collar with either a designed vest or suit jacket, a tie as always, and a miniskirt. With or without tights...Or really high socks. It's a habit of mine.
I let my hair down freely, untangling the tight braids that had to squeeze into my wig, and I got out of the academy and saw that it was raining. I ran towards our massive gates and showed my ID to the machine. The guard recognized me and I went to the parking lot, making my way through the shinny expensive cars before me and made it to my white Fiat. I flung my bag on the passenger seat, turning on the car, and the windshield. I drew out my breath and I leaned on the seat, "What a day." I said as I starred into the ceiling of my car. A smirk forms on my face and made myself laugh, "And a weird one too."
I thought of those three new students I met today and felt that there was something really, really familiar about them, but I coudln't pinpoint it. I drove my car out of the parking lot, passing the usual shops like Bath Body Works, Sephora, and Forever 21...But what caught my eye was Rose, Starfire, and Peter walking in the heavy rain and clinging onto their arms.
'Don't think about it Jace. Don't even...' I thought. I couldn't help it and steered my car a little too fast, making people honk at me and I parked right in front of them.
"Hey!" I yelled while the window rolls down. They saw me with not surprise but with a smile.
"Oh hey Jace!" Rose said.
I rolled my eyes and drew air out of my nose with disbelief. "Don't "oh hey" me! Get in!" I said.
They listened and open the door, Starfire jumping front and the rest in the back. I turned my back and faced them with my right hand settled on the passenger seat. "What were guys doing out there in the rain?" I said.
"Walking home." Starfire said.
My mouth formed a crooked frown and I shook my head. "Don't you guys have a car?" I asked.
"No." Peter said.
"Where's your house?" I said as I start the car again.
"You're going to drive for us?" Starfire asked.
"Well I'm not gonna leave you guys out there like hoboes and freeze to death." I said.
"What are hoboes?" Peter asked.
'This day is getting weirder and weirder.' I thought. "Never mind." I said.
"Jace, what time is it?" Rose asked.
"Don't you guys have a phone to check the time?" I said, no one answered. "You know what? Never mind." I sighed, "Let me just drive."
We were driving for about a silent five minutes and I noticed how they were all soaking wet and shivering. I stopped on the stop light.
"Where are we going?" Starfire said.
I looked at the mirror and faced to them. "My place."
