Lucy smiled when she found her friends crowding around her locker.
"Hey guys!" she greeted walking up to them.
Her friends charged her one by one with warm hugs and a bunch of I miss you's that made her feel so badly about neglecting them over the summer.
They've both changed and grown so much as she eyed each one of them in awe. Levy's short blue hair now reached and curled passed her shoulders like Shirley Temple's which to Anari was a good thing because her hair blends so well with her eyes. The cool thing Lucy always loved about Lexi's eyes was that they were always able to change from not just being gray but to other colors like green or blue depending on what she wore. Then next to her was Erza who still pretty much looked the same as before just with a new hair color. Erza's black hair now died a dark fire red that made her look even more edgier and tough. She had brown eyes, pale skin and was pretty much more skinner now then she was last year. Lucy wasn't thinking this to be rude she always thought Erza was pretty either way but she knew that her friend had tons of major insecurities because of her weight. However, now she was almost just as skinny as she was which caused her a bit of worry on how she went about her diet over the summer in the first place. Erza met her eyes knowing full well what she was probably thinking and mouth to her that she was fine and not to worry. Not really believing her Lucy smiled to let her friend know that she wouldn't keep pestering her about it for right now. However, she did give her a look that clearly stated that she was going to corner her about it later though. This made Sarah avert her eyes so that she was looking at anywhere else around their area but her.
"So how was your summer?" Levy asked. "We barely heard or did anything with you besides the summer bash event."
"I'm sorry I just had a lot going on," Lucy replied being completely honest without admitting the whole truth about her powers.
"It's fine we'll just use this year to make up for all the lost time," Levy told her.
Lucy smiled at her friend convincingly. "Sure, sounds like a plan."
"Do you have your schedule yet?" Levy wondered. "Because I wanted to see if we have any classes together."
Lucy shook her head. "No, I still have to go and get it from the front office."
"Then what are we waiting for let's go before class starts." Her friend said pulling both her and Erza's arm to the front office.
Once the girls finally reached the front office there had been a few people already standing in line.
"Looks like you're not the only one that doesn't have a schedule, Lu," Erza said coming up behind her.
"This is going to take forever." Lucy made aware not wanting to be late for class on her first day.
"Hey, at least you'll miss all the boring parts of first period." Levy pointed out causing her to smile.
"That's true but those are the best parts to get a quick nap in before the torture called education begins." She groaned back to her friend as the line began to shorten.
Both girls giggled in response at her remark because they knew it was completely true. That's why Lucy hoped that she had few classes with her friends to make them somewhat bearable to sit through.
Suddenly as the line began to get even shorter two loud male voices erupted the halls causing everyone to turn around and stare.
Lucy shook her head when she noticed two of the most popular guys in school named Gajeel and Jellal running around the halls with colorful spray string and screaming welcome back to school losers to everyone they encountered.
"Wow, could you believe they've got even more good looking over the summer?" Levy asked practically eye fucking them.
Lucy stared at her friend in amusement. "They're alright I guess."
"Alright!" Erza screeched jumping in the convo. "They can practically make any girl ready to strip naked without even trying especially Jellal."
Lucy mouth opened in shock because she had no idea that her red-haired friend fancied Jellal. "Wow, why didn't you tell me that you had a crush on him?"
"She told me!" Levy announced not really all that surprised about their friend's confession.
"But why not me?" Lucy asked trying not to feel excluded.
"Well you weren't really around and Levy and I literally spent the whole summer together," Erza responded truthfully.
Still even though that may be true they were still best friends and for some reason, Lucy felt like even though her friends didn't know about her powers, it was still beginning to get in the way of their friendship.
