Chapter 4: Zeref

"ZEREF! You need to take your brother to school!" I groaned into my pillow. Igneel sometimes got called into work early. He never really explained what his job was, so I have no idea what he does for a living. I stumbled lazily out of my bed and got into my school uniform. I went down stairs to make Natsu his lunch, and have breakfast. I noticed that he was playing with the new dragon stuffed animal I got him. I smiled to myself. I'm glad Natsu is happy, I thought.

"Good morning, Big Brother! Can you put Igneel's special hot sauce in my sandwich?" Natsu asked me. I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Do you know how spicy that sauce is? Even I can't handle it."

Natsu pouted. "But I want to be just like Igneel, so I have to use his sauce."

"Alright, if you insist. But don't blame me if your tounge itches." I noticed Natsu was smiling at me. I swear, someday that kid is gonna make somebody's life eventful, I thought. We had to run to the bus stop in order to get on. I didn't want to miss it again. On the bus, Natsu talked nonstop about how he wanted the new Dragon Barrage game. I usually ignored him when he talked about games because I wasn't interested. Instead I pondered on what book I should read next.

When we got to our destination, Natsu dragged me off the bus. "Hey, wait! Natsu what are you doing?" I exclaimed.

"I want everyone to meet my awesome brother!" he said. I had never met anyone in his class, so I got a little nervous. Natsu told me tons of stories about his friends, but I never planned on meeting them unless they came over to our house. Natsu pulled me into his little 1st grade classroom. When I walked in, I could guess who was who in an instant. I first saw the red-haired 'demon girl' arguing with a white-haired 'goth demon girl'. I knew they were Erza and Mira. I also saw a small girl with blue hair playing cards with brown-haired girl. They were Levy and Cana. I saw a burly looking boy being lectured my what looked like his little sister. I guessed those two were Elfman and Lisanna. I smiled to myself. So that's the girl Natsu has a crush on. Then Natsu said, "Hey guys! I want you to meet my- oof!" I was surprised to see Natsu fall flat on his face.

"Hah! That's what you get for stealing my underwear!" A voice said. I saw that a young dark-haired boy had pushed Natsu. Then I noticed he was standing in his underwear. Ah, I thought. He must be Gray.

"I'm gonna get you for that Gray!" Natsu yelled. The two boys started to tumble around. I saw Erza sigh and walk towards the two fighting boys. She grabbed both of their ears and pinched them. "Owww!" they both cried.

"You two idiots need to stop fighting. And put some clothes on Gray!" She glared at them while Gray went to get his clothes. Then Erza turned towards me. I thought she was going to lecture me too, but she just smiled at me. "You must be Natsu's older brother, Zeref. It's nice to meet you. I'm Erza, the one you keeps these idiots in check."

"Erm, thank you I guess?" After I said something everyone turned towards me. "Well then, I have to go. Igneel will pick you up later. Bye!" I rushed out of the classroom. Having people, especially kids, stare at me makes me uncomfortable. Speaking of which, wondered why I was myself around Mavis. I barely even talk to my classmates at school, much less and underclassman. When I saw her sitting on the bench at the bus stop last night, I had an urge to talk to her.

When I got to school, I saw her standing at the entrance. When she saw me, she waved me over. I walked over to her and saw there was a brown-haired girl hiding behind her. She must have been Mavis's friend, Zera. "Good morning Zeref! It's a nice day, isn't it?" Mavis smiled at me. Her bubbly personality made me want to smile.

"It is a great day." I said. I looked at the girl behind Mavis and said, "Are you Zera?" The girl nodded.

"Zera is really shy but the more she gets to know you, the less shy she'll become. Ah!" Mavis exclaimed. "My Phycology teacher wanted to talk to me this morning. She's really passionate about algae. We'll see you at lunch!" She grabbed Zera's hand and ran off. I smiled to myself and headed to class.

I normally eat my lunch in the Junior's library, but I decided I wanted to eat in the court yard. I noticed Mavis and Zera sitting under a large tree. Mavis looked depressed. She was slowly eating a grilled cheese sandwhich with a huge frown on her face. "What happened?" I asked. I made Zera flinch When she saw me. Mavis looked up from her lunch and tried to smile.

"Oh, hi Zeref. I was dropped from my Phycology class. Now I don't know what to do." She then started to cry. "If I don't do six classes, Precht will be mad at me. I don't know what class to take since it's almost summer vacation. What do I do?" I did not want her to cry, so I tried to think of something. The normal schedule for a freshman involves five classes. If someone wants a challenge, they take six. Then I suddenly remembered what I did my freshman year.

"Well, you could join a club." I suggested. Mavis blinked for a few seconds. Then her face lit up like a Christmas tree.

"That's it! I could join a club! Clubs are great in education. I could join the Math Club, or maybe the Science Club." Mavis started listing all the clubs she could join.

"You could join the Literary Club." I blurted out suddenly. Mavis had a puzzled look on her face. "In the Literary Club, you write stories and study the literature from the mid 19th century. That's the club I'm in."

Mavis got so happy that her face turned red. "You mean I could join the club you're in?" she asked.

"Yeah."

"Alright then! I'm joining the Literary Club." She started to bounce around yelling, "I'm joining a club!" over and over. Her enthusiasm made me laugh. After I ate my lunch, I said goodbye and headed to my Physics class. Mavis just might change me, I thought.
