Here's Chapter 2 of this LaLu fic~
As stated before, Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail. Just hope LaLu becomes official…..please…PLEASE!? *cough* Sorry…got out of hand there…Enjoy! ~
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read the first chapter! Like the first this might be a little bit of explaining who each person is and what not, so without further adieu, I present the next chapter.
Lucy's entered her homeroom, as well as the homeroom of the rowdy bunch that gets themselves into way too much trouble and break things without even trying. For some reason, everyone had dubbed this homeroom "Fairy Tail" which she didn't even know why, 'Do fairies even have tails?' she thought. Shaking her head at the notion, she had sat in a seat that was next to the window because she liked seeing the scenery outside, but mostly because she didn't like being in the middle of the antics, which was an all out brawl. Although sometimes a stray table and chair would somehow manage to find its way to the unsuspecting Lucy. But thanks to the nimble feet and quick thinking of Erza, the tables and chairs would never reach their destination, and after demolishing them, she marched into the fray usually dissolving it pretty quickly.
"Would you two knock it off!" yelled, knocking the pink-haired teen and raven-haired teen to the ground. Usually most brawls involves the "Flame brain" Natsu and "Ice Stripper" Gray, which they both dubbed each other for unknown reasons. I had heard that Natsu can handle the heat of anything, whether it actually be hot or extremely spicy. Gray on the other hand, has the ability to handle even the coldest of temperatures without feeling a thing.
"A-Aye! W-We'll stop Erza, we're such great friends!" Natsu and Gray said in unison, each with an arm around the other's back, hopping on one foot with fake smiles on their faces.
"Erza….don't you think it's a little overboard when you pummel them into the ground?" Lucy said, shaking her head and pointing to the two unfortunate souls. However, she is rather thankful that she won't have to watch out for flying tables and such anytime soon due to the efforts of Erza.
"Well they needed to be punished for destroying property….so I did what I thought best." Erza replied, who was now sitting in a chair next to her supposedly "Best Friend" Jellal.
"But….nevermind." Lucy said, pointing to the broken pieces of an unfortunate table and chair, albeit she was rather thankful that she did that. 'You can always count on Erza to save a friend, even if it means destroying half the school in the process' she thought, sweat dropping at the end.
Lucy decided to turn her head and look outside, watching the scenery and waiting for their homeroom teacher to get into the classroom. 'Hopefully it won't be demolished by the time he gets here' she thought, waving it off as soon as it ended. She looked outside, staring at the trees that were going to change color anytime soon, coloring the landscape with beautiful hues of yellow, red, orange, and brown. It looked like it was going to be a mild fall this year, as the summer was quite cool, usually it was rather warm and muggy from humidity. She wondered if the winter this year was going to involve snow, and lots of it, or if it was going to be like the past few years, no snow, yet very cold and frigid. Not that she really minded, she just wanted to have a very white winter this year, along with playing in it with her many friends. She looked at them, 'Nevermind' she quickly thought, 'I don't want to end up turning into a snowman during a snowball fight' she added, shivering and then giggling at the idea.
"..cy…Lucy!" yelled the person next to her, who was none other than her friend who liked to read just as much as she did, Levy.
"Oh Levy-chan! Sorry was thinking about things this year." She told her best friend.
"What were you thinking about Lu-chan?" Levy asked with a curious look, wondering what was going on in her blonde-haired friend's mind.
"I was just wondering if we were going to have a mild fall, and white winter this year…and then thinking about what it would be like to play in the snow. But I quickly shot that down as I don't want to be a snowman." She replied, shivering at the last part of being a frozen Luceicle. Levy just giggled, shaking her head at the response to her question.
"Yeah….I wouldn't be surprised if we both ended up as snowmen at the end of it." Levy said, nodding her head and shivering at the same time.
"So how was your summer, other than the end in which we all went to the beach for a week" Lucy asked.
"It was great! Although most of it was spent on reading a few books, I didn't really mind as I find it fun to do so." Levy replied. A gleam appeared in her eye, more than proving that she had a lot of fun doing what Levy does best, reading to her hearts content. "What about you? Did you have a nice summer vacation? I heard you went to visit your family's graves in Acalypha." She added, looking at Lucy's face for any signs of sadness at the mention of her parents. Levy was one of the first to know as she was the first to go to Lucy's house after their deaths. She was shocked at the news, and she did what any normal best friend would do, and that was to comfort Lucy as much as she could, and to ease the gaping hole that was made in her friend's heart.
"Yeah…..I did….and summer was great! I usually went to a park or some other tranquil place and would read from time-to-time, enjoying the scenery as well. Although I wish there were some parts of it I wish I could erase, but what's done is done I suppose." Lucy said, a small and sad smile forming on her lips near the end. She didn't know why she was sad every time someone mentioned summer vacation. Maybe it reminded her of the pink-haired idiot? She thought she would get rid of him in her mind, but it seems her heart betrays her every time and instead feels loneliness and sadness at the mention of him.
"Lu-chan?" she asked, concern for Lucy, but then she remembered what Lucy had told her a couple of days after they had returned from the beach. She understood how the blonde felt when her heart was basically ripped to shreds after the denial of her feelings to Natsu. But she knows that one day, another man will come and rid Lucy of this despair, and hoping a certain black-haired red-eyed male would do the same to her. She inwardly sighed at that and thought that she would have to somehow confess her feelings to him and hope that he would respond with equal affection towards her.
"Yes Levy-chan?" Lucy asked with a questioning look, wondering what was going through her blue-haired friends mind. 'Hmmmmmm I think she's in love with someone…she does have that look.' She thought but decided to forget about it for now and tease her about it at another time.
"Oh…uh…n-nevermind." Levy replied, sweat dropping and rubbing the back of her head in a nervous fashion.
"Right…" Lucy said, 'Oh there's something going on in her mind, and I will find out what it is. Great, now I'm acting like Mira when it comes to relationships.' And as if on cue Mira sneezed wondering who was talking about her, causing Lucy to sweat drop. "Oh shouldn't the homeroom teacher be here already? It's been a few minutes since we've gotten here and there's no sign of him anywhere." She asked, putting her hand to her forehead like a visor, scouting out for the missing homeroom teacher.
"Yeah….I wonder where he is. It's almost been fifteen minutes since we've been here." Levy said, also wondering where the missing teacher is. 'To be honest though, he's never one to be late to class at all.' She thought, but shrugged.
A few minutes afterwards their teacher had arrived, earning himself a lot of questioning looks as he entered. He got to his desk, setting everything he brought with him onto it, and then walked in front of the white board.
"Hello class, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but my son and I were running late, and the traffic to get to his school to here was killer." He said, rubbing the back of his head, causing everyone around him to sweat drop at his actions. He had a rather mild muscular build, blue spiky hair, and dark brown eyes. The area below his nose and on his chin, was covered with a large area of stubble, which gave him a small mustache.
"Hello Mr. Conbolt!" Everyone shouted back at him, happy to see their teacher after a couple of months, except one person, and that being Natsu since he usually played with his son Romeo Conbolt at their house.
"So as to start the usual first day of school, I was asked to give each of you your class schedules for the year, as usual. So when I call you up, please come up here and pick them up." Macao stated, after which he started calling everyone up in alphabetical order. Once he finished he had told everyone to do as they please for the remainder of the time they had in the class. A few of the students had asked him what he had done over the summer, and said that he had taken his son on cross-country trip, stopping at cities along their journey.
Lucy walked back to her seat, Levy in tow, sitting next to her best friend as they both began looking at their class schedules for their junior year. Lucy had gotten the classes that she wanted the most, since they would further her knowledge in the study of the stars, otherwise known as astrology. She had always wanted to be one ever since her mother would take her outside to look at all of the constellations, and the stars that made them up. At these moments, Lucy was truly happy. Now if Lucy had ever gotten stressed, angry, depressed, or any other negative emotion, she would find a small clearing in the woods, lie down and stare at the stars, wondering if her mother had joined the stars. Always thinking about star gazing seemed to have calmed her mind, eliminating any source of sadness in a snap.
"Yes! I got the classes that I wanted most!" Lucy exclaimed, fist pumping at the sight of her class schedule. "What about you Levy? Did you get the classes you wanted for the year?"
"That's great Lucy!" Levy replied, happy that her friend got the classes she wanted for the year. "Yeah, most of them anyways. I'm excited for this school year." She added, extremely happy that she got the classes related to her dream of being a world-class author. Her eyes gleamed with a fiery passion for her future job. She had always loved reading stories, and most recently tried to write a story of her own. Lucy had known about her reading habits and, in the process of writing a story herself, asked if she wanted to be one of the first people to read her novel. Levy hastily agreed, always happy to read something, especially if her best friend had written it.
"Well I'm glad that we both got what we wanted." Lucy said, smiling at both of their success at getting what they wanted. "I wonder if I have any classes with anyone else in this room." She added with a questioning tone.
"Let's see if we have any." Levy said, taking both of their schedules and comparing their classes to see if they had shared any. "Well...we both have English together…but other than that we have nothing." She said, disappointed with the lack of classes they had together.
"Awww, oh well at least we have English together. That means we can work on any projects together, and not worry about who we get paired up with." Lucy said, consoling her disappointed friend.
"I guess. I just wish we had more, but at least we get to see each other twice during school." Levy said, slightly alleviating her disappointment,
"That's the spirit Levy." Lucy said with a smile.
While the two friends were busy laughing and chatting away, neither noticed one student looking at them. His gaze was focused on the bubbly, giggling blonde, studying her every reaction like he usually did whenever they had a class. Although he was more discreet doing it so as not to get caught in the act of staring at her. She had always been on his mind for an unknown reason. Maybe it was because she was so carefree and happy, causing the mood of any situation to be more light and cheery than what it's supposed to be. He had always admired her positive attitude towards life, as well as other things. He wanted to have that positive outlook on life, and her looks, all to himself, not wanting to share her with anyone else. 'Soon' he thought, 'I will try to make her mine' a small smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Yo!" Natsu hollered towards him. "What are you staring at?" he added at the end, trying to see what he was looking at, eventually figuring it out as the smiling blonde. "Oh I see, so do you like Lucy or something?" he asked.
"No of course not. I would never like someone like that." He scoffed, 'He must be very dense' he thought. He turned his head away, trying to look at something else other than Lucy, so he wouldn't be found out. "I'm just….looking at the scenery." He lied, trying to sound convincing so Natsu would get off his back.
"Whatever you say." Natsu replied, shaking his head at his responses. "Well see you later." Walking away and waving towards him.
"What an idiot…" He rolled his eyes. "Thinking that I liked Lucy. Hmph!" he whispered to himself. His eyes wandered back to Lucy and her friend Levy, watching them talk and react to what the other said. He decided to make his move after Lucy had gotten rid of any feelings for the idiot Natsu. He shaked his head at the pink-haired fool for rejecting one of the best looking girls in the class. That just mean he could actually have a chance at starting a relationship with the bubbly, blonde.
"So Levy, do you want to go to our usual hangout spot with everyone else?" Lucy asked her blue-haired friend.
"Sure Lucy. At that coffee shop a couple of blocks away right?" Levy asked. The coffee shop was a usual hang out for the homeroom, a place where they could socialize with each other and talk about what happened during the day. Mirajane had gotten a job there and ever since then they would use it as a place to talk and such, although Gray and Natsu would occasionally duke it out there too. But, like Erza, underneath Mira's sweet exterior, lies a demonic nature, ready to pounce and shred anything that dares to anger the silver-haired girl. Usually everyone would stay there until it was night or when the coffee shop was ready to close, in which she'd tell everyone to go home while she cleaned up the shop.
"Yeah, that one." Lucy replied, nodding her head while answering her friend.
"Alright, can't wait until then." Levy nodded, already waiting for the school day to end so she could talk to everyone again.
The bell rang, causing everyone to grab their bags, schedules, and anything else, and head to their first classes of the day. Since today was the first day, It usually consisted of talking about what they were studying in that class, what the expectations were, and explained the grading in it. Lucy's first class was astrology, which was close to her homeroom, about a few doors down from where she was. She walked in that direction, ready to meet the teacher and see if anyone from her homeroom was with her in this class.
She got inside, and looked around, but much to her disappointment, no one was in there with her. 'It's still a few minutes until class starts, so maybe I won't be alone in here.' She tried to cheer herself up, hoping that someone would come into the class. So when Cana walked in she was happy that she at least had one friend in the class with her, especially happy not having to be alone with people she never met before.
"Cana! Oh I'm so happy to see you're in here with me!" Lucy exclaimed, literally jumping with joy as she saw Cana come sit next to her. To say she was beyond astonished about having a friend in here, wouldn't be that much of an understatement to say the least.
"Ah Lucy, I'm glad you're in here too, thought I'd be alone in here as well." Cana replied, relieved that she wouldn't be alone as well as well as being happy that it was the one who reconnected her with her father. She sat down in a seat next to her over-excited friend, although she understood Lucy's situation, as she herself didn't want to work with strangers.
They had conversed on what had happened over the summer before the beach vacation. Cana had strengthened her bonds towards her father, talking to him whenever he wanted to talk, and to listen to him word for word. She had missed a lot of his life, so hearing him out was one of the ways to make it up to him.
The classed continued talking until the teacher walked in, immediately shushing the talkative class. He walked to his desk, setting down a stack of papers, as well as essentials for the class. He is a very tall man; his skin color was light enough to where one would think it was a light shade of blue of sorts. He had a long mustache, a very short straight line under his nose, with each side immediately stretching downward. He looked old, almost ancient, yet his physique was that of a thirty-something year old man, exuding an aura of authority around him, which caused the class to silence themselves.
"Welcome class, I am the Astrology teacher. You may call me by my nickname, The Spirit King." He stated, having a wide grin spreading across his face. Lucy was the only one who knew of him, giving him another nickname of "Stache Face", which he never really minded, since he had taken a liking to the blonde.
The class greeted him, some rather scared of his presence; others treated him as another teacher in the school. He had the respect of all students, as any who crossed, promised to never ever do it again, even those who were known to cause trouble a lot.
"Now I will explain to you what I should expect from you, what you need for this class, and how the grading will work in this class." He said, his voice having a sense of authority in the class. He immediately went began going over the rules of the class, most being common sense like, only talk when you have permission, no eating or drinking in this class, etc. He also explained what was expected of us near the end of the school year. He told us what we were supposed to bring to class with us, the obvious being pencils and the likes. He told us that homework counted for a fifth of our grade, Tests were a fifth, classwork was a fifth, and finally projects were two-fifths of our grade.
After he explained that to us he allowed us to talk among ourselves until we were to go to our next classes. Cana and I, decided to go chat with the teacher, seeing as how we were his favorites among the class. After chatting for a few minutes the bell rang, causing everyone to exit the class, with us waving bye to our Astrology teacher.
Well here's chapter 2….I don't know….it doesn't seem to be as good as the first chapter… but…that just might be me…
Had to choose between Capricorn or the Spirit King for the teacher and with the help of my friend I chose the latter….but I do not regret my choice…as I think it suits him well.
