Two - Lucy Heartfilia
"You'll love it here," Natsu was telling Lucy. She was already sure she would. He had explained all about it and it sounded so much more friendly than Era. She wouldn't have to be on edge or make sure she made a perfect impression. And no uniform was a huge plus. "It's the best possible school!"
"Lucy, right?" a blue haired girl asked, approaching Lucy and Natsu as they entered the school.
"Ah, yes!" Lucy said. "And you're Levy, right? The girl who's supposed to show me around?"
Levy nodded and smiled. "We'll have to be in homeroom soon, so we only have time for a quick tour, but-"
"Leeeeeevyyyyyyy!" two guys called in unison, running up to the blue haired girl.
"We need your help!" one said.
"Huh? Oh, but I'm supposed to be showing Lucy around. It's her first day here."
"I can do that," Natsu grinned.
"Thanks, Natsu," Levy said. "Sorry, Lucy! I'll be back to finish the tour when I'm done helping these two."
"Okay, see you later!" Lucy called as Levy ran off with the two guys.
"Alright!" Natsu exclaimed. "Let's get this tour started!" He grabbed Lucy's hand and started dragging her down the hall. He stopped outside some double doors that were open to a cafeteria. "This is where the food is," he said. "It's all delicious, but you really, really, really don't wanna piss off lunch lady Mira. Also, make sure not to eat all the strawberry cake before Erza gets to it, or you'll be killed."
"Killed?" Lucy repeated weakly.
Natsu nodded. "Trust me." He walked further down the hall, still gripping Lucy's hand. He pointed at a door that had a plaque reading 'Dojo' and smiled. "That's where Karate Club is."
"I probably won't join that though," she said. "So you don't need to show me-"
"Over there is where I hang out when I skip class," he interrupted, pointing out a door to a shady corner of the courtyard.
"Oh."
"And there, inside that big circle, is the designated fighting area."
"For Karate Club?" she asked.
Natsu looked at her. "No, we do that in the dojo. The fighting area is for when people challenge each other. Gildarts was getting tired of it happening in the hallways, so he sectioned off part of the courtyard."
"Who is Gildarts?" Lucy asked.
"Our guidance counselor," Levy said, walking up to Lucy and Natsu. "Sorry I had to run off. I'm back now. Did Natsu show you where your classes are?"
"Classes?" Natsu said. "Did she need to see those?"
Levy smiled and laughed. "I guess he didn't. I'll take over from here. Gray just showed up anyway, so Natsu is probably gonna-"
"Gray is here?" Natsu interrupted. "Where? I haven't fought him in at least a week."
"Do you need to fight him?" Lucy asked.
Natsu didn't answer as he ran off towards a boy she assumed was Gray, who had just walked in the door. Levy laughed again.
"You'll get used to it," she said. Then she called over to the boys, "Gray! Your shirt!"
Lucy's eyes widened as Gray looked down to see his shirt was missing.
"What?! Where did it go?!" he asked in shock.
"But… he was just wearing it," Lucy said.
Levy led Lucy away from the boys, who were shouting insults at each other. "You'll get used to that too," she said. "Gray compulsively removes his clothes. No one knows why. He has a permanent, weekly appointment with Gildarts because of it."
"Gildarts is the guidance counselor, right?"
"Yes, I am," a tall, intimidating man said, walking out of a classroom. He looked over at the fighting boys and groaned. "Fullbuster! Dragneel! Quit that!"
"Oh, good," Lucy said. "Someone is actually gonna stop them."
"You know you can only fight in the battle arena outside!"
"I spoke too soon," Lucy said. "This place is crazy."
"But you have to wait until later anyway," Gildarts said. "Time to get to homeroom."
"You're a teacher, too?" Lucy asked.
"I am this year. Headmaster Makarov didn't want to do it himself anymore, so he gave the job to me," he explained. "Are you Heartfilia?" he asked, leading the way into the art classroom that was doubling as Lucy's homeroom.
"Uh, please call me Lucy," she said, following him and Levy into the room.
Levy shrugged. "I guess I'll have to show you your classes later. Oh, I'll just introduce you to some of your homeroom classmates for now. Natsu will be here, but you probably don't know most of the others."
Lucy and Levy looked around the classroom. A few students were already there. Lucy didn't recognize most of them, but then she saw a blue-haired boy with a red marking over the right side of his face. He was sitting in the far back corner of the room. Lucy was surprised to see him.
"Sieg?" she asked.
The boy didn't hear her, seeming absorbed in thought. But Levy saw where Lucy was looking and shook her head.
"Oh, no," she said. "That's Myst. His brother."
"Oh, that's right," Lucy said. "They're twins."
"Yep," Levy said. "Completely identical, right down to the tattoo. I haven't heard a lot about Siegrain, but Myst is pretty quiet, usually. So don't get offended if he doesn't talk to you."
"Hmm, I think I've seen him at Era before with Siegrain," Lucy mused quietly. "Maybe he also transferred." She looked back to Levy. "So, who are the others in this class?"
Levy pointed at an orange-haired boy leaning back in his chair to talk to the pink-haired girl at the desk behind him. "That's Loke," she said, "He's talking to Aries. Over there are Jet and Droy." She pointed to the guys that had pulled her away from Lucy and Natsu earlier. They were sitting down at their desks and saving the seat of the desk between theirs. "It looks like they're saving a seat for me, but I'm sure you can sit by Natsu." Levy looked around, but there were no other students. "There should be a few more coming, but you'll meet them later- Oh! There's Erza. Erza Scarlet."
"Erza?" Lucy repeated, recalling what Natsu had said when they were at the cafeteria. "The one who will kill me if I eat all the cake?"
Levy giggled. "At least Natsu told you one important thing."
"So, she really would kill me?!" Lucy asked incredulously, watching the redhead cross the classroom.
Levy shrugged. "Just don't get on her bad side."
"Right..."
