An Elaborate Ruse

by halledean

Fairy Hills High is... interesting. Jellal discovers this, pretending to be his triplet brother, Myst, and spending the year with Erza and her incident-causing Fairy Tail foster family. Then there's Sieg, causing him even more trouble. Can Jellal make it through the year undiscovered? Can he resist feelings for Erza? Not likely, but it'll be interesting. Many ships, mainly Jerza.

5. Five - Lucy Heartfilia

Five - Lucy Heartfilia

Lucy followed Levy, Jet, and Loke from homeroom to her first class, History. The lights in the classroom were dim and all the blinds on the windows were pulled down. The teacher appeared to be sleeping, her head resting on the teacher's desk. The other students didn't seem to find this odd as they found their seats. Lucy sat down in the empty seat between Levy and Gray, who was also in this class.

"Is the teacher okay?" she whispered to Levy.

"I'm fine," the teacher snapped. "Just have a bit of a hangover."

"Can teachers show up with hangovers?" Lucy asked, even more quietly.

Levy nodded. "That's Cana," she said. "As long as she's not still drunk, Headmaster Makarov lets her come in. But she hits on some of the older students if she comes in drunk."

"This school is really weird."

"Tell me about it," Gray said, crossing his arms over his bare chest.

"Fullbuster!" Cana reprimanded. "Put your damn clothes on!" Gray ran out of the classroom to find his clothes while Cana did her best to stand up in front of the class. "Now, this should be easy," she said. "Don't piss me off and you'll pass."

Lucy was starting to wonder how the school functioned properly. The guidance counselor allowed students to fight one another in a battle arena. The history teacher was a drunk. From what Natsu had said, the lunch lady sounded like a demon. And, on top of all that, the students seemed to think all that was normal!

-.-.-

The next class Lucy had was Math. The teacher, Evergreen, acted very strict and smacked people with yardsticks if they did anything to displease her. Natsu was in this class, as well as Aries and another student Lucy had in her homeroom class, Cancer. After that class, Lucy had English, though Freed, the teacher of the class, insisted that people call it 'Language Arts'. Levy, Droy, Natsu, Gray, and Myst all had this class with Lucy.

Lucy was very happy when lunch came around. She was getting overwhelmed by how weird all the teachers were. Natsu had been right about the food being delicious, but the lunch lady, Mirajane Strauss, seemed so sweet it was hard to believe she had a bad side. Lucy looked around the cafeteria to see that everyone seemed to have the same lunch time since the school was so small. She sat down with Levy, Jet, Droy, Natsu, and Gray, glad that she had already made some friends.
