Adventures of Fairy Tail high
Chapter one: The crash meeting.
Hello readers! Welcome to the first story to be fully developed by yours truly. This is just something that randomly popped in my head and I really don't know where it came from at this point but I really liked it.
(Lucy P.O.V.)
I pulled my old yellow Volkswagen Beetle into the ginormous school parking lot and cut the engine. My father had always insisted I get something better, something that spoke for all the money we had but I loved this car. After pulling the keys out of the ignition, I spent a full moment staring at the large building, taking in the two storied red bricked building surrounded by tall green bushes and trees.
Finally, I felt like I gawked long enough and I searched under a pile of books in the backseat for my purse, a task more challenging than it sounds. Five minutes later, I had dug to the bottom of the stack and yanked my bag up. The books tumbled over and fell into the limited space open on the car floor.
"I really need to clean this up." I muttered to myself before climbing out of the car. My keys were thrown into the purse as I slammed the car door shut.
Yesterday afternoon, I went to my favorite bookstore and rummage through their new books, adding to my collection. To be honest, I began this collection the first day of summer vacation and not a single book since that day has left the back seat of car. Though they deserved to be on a nice shelf instead of a crummy car. I was going to need as much as possible for the approaching year; Junior year. While other students went out and made memories, I planned on keeping my nose in books. This would be my first full year ever in a real public school and I really didn't know how that would go. But this was all I have ever wanted! To feel like a semi-normal teenage girl even for a little while. I didn't care if I made lots of friends or not, I just wanted to be out of the confinements of the Heartfilia mansion.
I strolled towards the tall brick building with the hobo bag hitting against my hip and my face halfway buried in a book. I weaved through other students and dodged oncoming thrown objects, all without looking up from my book. I had perfected the skill to walk and read at the same time. It was a required one since I could never put down the treasures.
When approaching the building, I balanced the book in one hand and moved the other to open the door. But as my hand grasped the handle, the door was pushed open from the inside. The heavy metal door slammed into me, causing me to fall onto my bottom and drop the book and bag to fall off my shoulder.
I angrily looked up about to yell at the ignoramus that knocked me over but the words wouldn't come to me when I saw him. He had crouched down beside me to see if I was okay; hands hesitating in mid-air, unsure if he should touch me and his dark onyx like eyes were fixated on my face, full of concern.
This boy had the most unusual pink hair that spiked up in every direction. I wondered if it was natural or if he lost a bet. The black shirt he wore only made the pink stand out more. He had very strong features, muscles firm and pronounced everywhere my eyes glanced , and for one quick, small second, I wondered how they would feel. The thought was very quickly shook from my head.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention." The boy exclaimed in fear. As he spoke, I saw two very sharp canines.
"I can.. tell." I shot back, surprised at how shaky my voice had came out as. I wanted him to feel worse about not paying attention. But despite the unstable form my voice had been, it worked. As soon as I said something, he looked more worried.
"Are you hurt? Should I take you to the nurse?"
He was kinda cute, in his own way. "That's not necessary. See? I'm fine." I said as I stood back up. My hands nervously dusted dirt off the black skirt and smoothed the wrinkles on my blouse. I bent over to collect my stuff but this boy had already picked them up and handed them to me.
"Thanks." I mumbled. I turned back towards the door and acted like that didn't just happen.
…
(Natsu P.O.V.)
I stood by the door for ten minutes just staring in the direction the blonde girl had disappeared. She had long disappeared, blocked out by the hundreds of other bodies swarming the halls. Had I seen her before? Why didn't I know who she was? How could I not know her?
"Hey Natsu, you planning on showing up to the field this morning?" My friend/enemy, Gray Fullbuster asked.
"Who was that?" I asked not looking away from the door.
"Who? There's like a million people here Natsu."
I thought about the girl I had accidentally knocked over. She had this long blonde hair that had been hastily thrown up in a ponytail. Her eyes were a deep chocolate brown that I was drawn to and I feared that if I looked into them, I would be lost forever. Never able to look away. And she had these perfect pink lips that were so hypnotic. Nothing about her made sense. For some reason, I was allured by her.
"Yeah, there was a girl with blonde hair." I finally answered.
"Come on we don't have time to ponder this, Gajeel is waiting for us." Gray stated and walked towards the fields.
I watched the door for a few more moments before jogging to catch up with Gray. I would just have to find her later. It shouldn't be too hard.
…
I was very wrong. Finding the one girl I didn't know was very hard. Everywhere I looked, the blonde was nowhere in sight! I looked in the gym and the atrium, the auditorium to the art classroom but I still hadn't seen her. Where could she be? I had saw her this morning! I had even asked my close knit group of friends and they didn't know.
"Natsu, you're not giving us very much to go off of. Just blonde hair and brown eyes." Gray sighed.
"Maybe if you gave us the clothes she was wearing?" Erza thought out loud, trying to help me. Erza Scarlet was the captain of the girls' field hockey team and the class president. Erza and I had been friends since like the third grade.
I pondered; trying to remember what she could have been wearing when I bumped into her. It had been something blue, or maybe it was pink. God, I was horrible at this kind of thing. I should have paid more attention! Frustrated, I gave a quick no. Why was I even so desperate to find one girl in a sea of many? We had only said a minimum of ten words to each other and I didn't even get her name.
"Why are you so desperate to find her anyway?" Gray wondered.
"Because she looks new. I think I should help her find friends. And also apologize for knocking her over."
"Well maybe I should introduce myself? Show her around school. If she is new, the class president showing her around would look good. " Erza placed her finger over her bottom lip.
I was beginning to think I should give up on finding her. And I was fully prepared too. That is until I saw a flash of blonde hair and a dazzling smile walking into a room at the end of that particular hallway. I didn't even bother to say anything to my friends as I dashed down the hall to catch the girl. I yelled excuses as I crashed into other people and shouted at others to get out of the way. This time I would get that name so it'll be easier to find her next time.
…
(Lucy P.O.V.)
I had went about my life like normal, or the new normal with school and all. I had only been coming here for about a month already and quickly became accustomed. I met with Levy McGarden, my best friend since day one here and went to classes. But I couldn't focus on anything that was said. Any time I tried to, my mind would slip to the encounter that had happened this morning. The guy had seemed so nice even though it was his absentmindedness that caused the whole thing. But it was sweet. And if my mind wasn't replaying the incident, it was conjuring up the image of those dark charcoal eyes. They had been the darkest eyes I had ever seen but they held so much light and joy. It was oddly comforting. But at the same time, I was confused. It was just one meeting and it hadn't really been a good one. So why was I thinking of it so much?
"Lucy, have you heard a word I've said?" Levy asked, drawing me out of my thoughts.
"No.. What did you say?" I blushed.
"You know I wasn't going to say anything but my curiosity has peaked. You've been distracted for quite a while now. What's going on?"
I looked over at Levy and then around her. " Come on, I'll tell you in the library." I grabbed her arm and dragged Levy behind me. I giggled whenever Levy tripped over her feet from trying to catch up to my pace.
Inside the large room, I let go of Levy and strolled to a bookcase. There I was about to tell Levy what happened but when I turned around to look at the blue haired girl, I saw the boy from that morning, entering the library. Instantly I crouched down to not be seen and pulled Levy down with me. I didn't even know why I hid, it just happened.
"Why'd you do that? You're acting really weird." Levy was now confused.
"He's here!" I hissed while stealing a glance through the shelf at the boy who was roaming suspiciously around the library.
"Who's here?" Levy whispered, joining me to see who I was looking at.
I turned to face my best friend. "I don't know. He knocked me over this morning when I was walking into the school."
Levy looked at me with a flabbergasted face. "He knocked you over?! Why?"
"He didn't do it on purpose. It was an accident. Really neither one of us was paying attention to where we were going." I turned back to watch him again but he was nowhere in sight. Alarmed, Levy and I stood all the way up and scanned the area. Still, we didn't see him.
"Looking for something important?" a male voice asked from behind us. I screeched and turned around and Levy jumped in her skin before seeing who did it.
I was surprised that the guy had managed to sneak up on us. I could feel my cheeks flame up in embarrassment. "No, not really." I uttered.
"Natsu! You shouldn't sneak up on people like that." Levy scolded him while clutching her chest.
" True, but you shouldn't be spying on people." Natsu countered with a smile.
"Touche."
He looked from Levy to me. "I'm sorry about this morning. Really."
"It's okay. Stop apologizing." I muttered, looking down at my feet.
"I never got your name. I'm Natsu Dragneel." Natsu continued talking.
"Lucy."
"Well I gotta go. I'll see you later Lucy." Levy waved goodbye to me and Natsu. "Tell everyone hi for me."
"So how come I've never seen you around?" Natsu asked after she disappeared.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because you have poor eye sight. I mean you did run into me." I joked with a nervous laugh.
"My eye sight is excellent. Kind of need that." Natsu defended.
"For what?"
Natsu sent me a look that suggested I must have lived under a rock. "What?" I asked.
"Nothing." Natsu muttered, then answered the question. "If I had poor eyes, I would just get hit in the head a lot by falling balls."
"Ah so you are a jock!" I exclaimed. I had wondered if he was and if that was the reason he was at a school before it was mandatory.
"I don't know if I should be proud or offended by that." Natsu countered, seeing the look in my eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it to be offensive." I stuttered and started waving my hands in front of me.
Thankfully, I was saved by a loud bell signaling that classes were about to start again and a warning for all students to get to class. I said a quick goodbye and ran to the table I dropped my bag. But as I slung the bag over my shoulder, Natsu's hand grabbed me arm gently.
"Wanna skip with me?"
What? Why was he asking me to skip class with him? He just met me. My mouth opened and closed, probably making me look like a fish out of water. I didn't know what to think. Wasn't this against the rules? What happens if we get caught?
But that didn't stop my mouth from answering eventually. "Sure."
"Great! Just gotta let people know and we can go."
Natsu grabbed his phone out of his back pocket, typed a message, and slid it back where it came from. "Let's go."
He held his hand out and I took it, letting him lead me outside to the back parking lot. As we approached a red mustang, Natsu withdrew his keys and phone again.
"Just push the stuff off the seat." He ordered when we were climbing in.
"What it all of this?" I asked as I pushed mounds of clothes and papers onto the floor. I climbed over it and slightly pushed it aside with my foot as got into the car. I smoothed out my skirt and balanced my bag on my legs.
"School stuff." Natsu laughed and started the car. He looked over at me with a mischievous smirk. "Where to?"
