After walking for 10 minutes, Lucy made it to the school she was supposed to attend. Being home schooled after the accident, Virgo wanted Lucy to go out more so she's making her attend Fairy Tail High for Lucy's junior and senior year. As Lucy walked past the gates and onto school grounds, she noticed a lot of different groups. The one thing she found odd was the boy sitting alone under one of the cherry blossom trees.

Instead of standing there and staring at everything and everyone, Lucy headed indoors to find the main office. While searching, she was stopped by a girl with red hair who was practically radiating with confidence. Lucy looked up with a bit of nervousness and hesitantly asked where the office was. The school was large and there were students littering the halls and stairwells, along with the students out front. The two walked in silence until the red head decided to start a conversation.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Erza, I take it you're new here?" She asked as she hasn't seen the blonde here before.

"Oh uh yes, my name's Lucy and I was home schooled before this but decided to finish my last two years in a public school" Lucy replied with a smile.

"Weren't you lonely? Y'know, not having your friends with you?" Erza asked, a little hesitant.

"Yeah but I always had Virgo with me. I never really had a big group of friends. It's always just been Virgo and I. Guess I never really thought about it" a small smile present as she answered. Virgo was always there for her and she never really needed anyone else as it wasn't the number of friends that mattered.

"Well, at least you had someone so you weren't alone. Anyway, we're here. I'll find you later, if we don't have classes together, and you can have lunch with my friends and I if you want to" Erza said with a smile in hopes of making a new friend today.

"Yeah, that sounds good, thanks" Lucy smiled back and said a quick goodbye and headed into the office to get her schedule.

Sitting at the front desk was a girl with long white hair and bright blue eyes. Lucy walked up to her and asked to see the principle because she was new and needed her classes.

"Of course, he should be right through the door down this hall. I'll let him know you're here" The girl said. Looking a little closet, Lucy noticed that she was wearing an ID that held her name.

"Alright, thank you, Mirajane" The blonde exclaimed with a smile as she headed off to the direction she was pointed to.

"Mira is just fine, and you're welcome. Have a good first day" Mira replied before Lucy was completely out of sight.

The hallway was a bit narrow but there was only one door so at least she wouldn't get lost and look a little stupid. She knocked and heard the OK to enter. When she entered, she saw a little old man sitting on a couple books as he couldn't quite reach the top of the desk without them. He looked up and smiled a warm smile and gestured for her to have a seat in one of the chairs that's set up in front of his desk.

"Hello dear, I'm master Makarov but everyone just calls me master. I understand you need your schedule, I'll have it ready in a minute" master said and looked back towards his computer to print out the blondes classes.

"Ah, here you go. You can spend the rest of first period getting used to the hallways and looking for the rest of your classes if you want. I'll let your teachers know that you arrived today" he waved her off and gave a smile before the blonde completely left the room. It was completely nerve wracking and she prayed to whoever would listen that she wouldn't slip up and embarrass herself like she usually would when she's in public places.

'Well, here goes nothing' Lucy thought as she headed down the hallways to find the rest of her classes.
