Chapter 1: The Boy With the Pink Hair

"Lucy! It's almost time for your first day of school," Yelled Layla Heartfilia from the door.

Lucy, a 9 year old girl with short blonde hair, came running through the hallways. Lucy is a rich girl that has never been to school before. She had private tutors and her mother, which was a celestial wizard, helped her with her magic. But today would be her first day at school, and she was excited.

As Lucy grabbed a hold of her mother's hand, she yelled," I'm so excited! I can't wait. I'm going to make tons of friends and go to their parties and do all the stuff friends do."

Layla looked down to Lucy and said with a smile," Of course you are."

Then her smile loosened a bit and she continued,"Just remember Lucy, having too many friends can be bad too. You never know which ones are really your true friends that way. You don't need hundreds of friends but one friend is all you need. That friend will be your friend forever. Make sure you find that special friend, Lucy."

Lucy looked straight ahead and said," I know but, what happens if I don't find that one special friend. What if I have friends but I think of them as all equal?"

Layla looked straight ahead and answered," Lucy, you will have that one special friend because you are a special girl. Who wouldn't want to be your friend?"

Lucy laughed a little then she answered,"If you say I will, I'll believe you."

Once Lucy arrived to school, her mother left her at the principal's office.

Lucy sat on the green cushioned chair, waiting for the principal. Then a short man with clumps of white hair on each side of his head with a bald spot, came up to Lucy and smiled.

He then began to speak with cheer in his voice, "Welcome Lucy Heartfilia! It's a pleasure to have you at this school. I'm the headmaster of this school, Master Makarov. This school was made to help the starting mages and wizards with their magic and academics. This is only part one of what you can do. Later, you can join the school's prestigious academy: FAIRY TAIL!" He then whispered, "Also ran by me..."

Lucy smiled at the fact of there being another part to school. "Now, let's get you to class," Makarov said grabbing her by the hand and taking her to her class.

Loud noises were coming from the classroom as they approached the door. Makarov sighed loudly and then whispered to Lucy: "Before you enter, I'll go in to make sure the teacher knows you're here. So wait here until you hear your name."

Makarov quickly went into the classroom and all went quite.

While Lucy stood outside, she suddenly heard yelling and laughter. At times, she heard Makarov's voice. She heard bits and pieces of words like, "get down," "clean up," "Shut up Natsu," and all of these words caused curiosity to swell up.

Lucy was tempted to open the door, but she knew it was wrong, so she kept it close. She pressed her ear on the door to see if she could hear more words from inside. Then the door opened.

Lucy fell face front on the floor. Blood started to run from her lip, as she lifted herself up from the floor. When she looked up, she saw a boy with pink hair standing in front of her.

Lucy got mad and yelled,"Apologize!"

The boy with pink hair looked at her and asked,"Why?"

"You hurt me!"

The boy with pink hair frowned and retorted,"I didn't hurt anything. You fell on your own."

Lucy's eyes began to swell with tears. "You jerk!" she yelled while running off.

Lucy ran until she was out of breath. She ended up back at the principal's office. She sat in front of the door, hugging get knees and trying to control her tears.

Minutes later, Makarov showed up and sighed," Lucy, are you okay? I'm sorry, that was Natsu, the block head of the whole school."

Lucy raised her voice a little and spoke," Well, I hate that block head!"

"He really is a nice person Lucy. Just give him a chance," Makarov said trying to comfort her.

Lucy looked up and said, "He's my enemy from now on."

Lucy did not like that boy one bit. That boy with the pink hair, was at the top of her hate list.
