REVISION COMPLETE 5/12/24: I've decided that I might as well just start completely rewriting all of the chapters. This one will be completely different from the original. Though there are still some similar scenes. Jellal is still going to school in the dress, and Lucy still saves him at lunch. But everything else is entirely different.

I'm taking a different approach in the development of the guys' feelings in this revision. As in the original, Rogue is still one of the first people we'll be witnessing change.

********

Ugh, Mondays... honestly the worst day of the week. I reluctantly got out of bed and headed to the bathroom across the hall. From the looks of it, these guys are last-minute students who will wait as long as possible before getting out of bed. Which is good for me so I can get ready without too much harassment!

I was in the middle of putting on some light makeup when someone stumbled into the bathroom. Loke paused mid-yawn when he laid eyes on me. We stood staring at each other for a solid minute before I coughed, "Did you need something, pretty boy?"

In almost an instant, his face flushed a deep shade of red and he slammed the door. Huh, he may be a playboy, but he still gets flustered at the sight of women. Or rather, ones that he doesn't expect? I chuckled as I went back to finish my other eye. How cute...

Perfect, as always! I packed my kit and headed back to my room. Time was on my side today, so I took my time to change and enjoyed my breakfast at the counter once more. A few of the guys were all ready to go, surprisingly, and chowing down at the table. No one said a word to me, and I can only assume Jellal had something to do with it.

"Good morning, darling~ So glad to hear your voice so early~"

Out came Loke, back to his confident self. Well... then he made eye contact with me. So much for confidence... He immediately turned around, red-faced again might I add, and rushed back into his room. "The fuck's his problem?"

At this, Gray snickered, "You must've seen him before he finished putting his mask on."

"Mask? More like a whole-ass costume, dude. Man takes an hour to perfect just his hair before we can set our eyes on him!" Laxus cackled.

"For good reason, too. That guy is fucking ugly first thing in the morning," At Gray's comment, the two began laughing up a storm.

"Aw, come on, he doesn't look that bad! I'm sure you guys look just as ugly, if not more," I commented back.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm just saying, there's a reason he gets girls and you don't right?" I grinned at Gray, who glared right back. We couldn't continue anymore. My alarm went off, signaling 7:45. I grabbed my bag and headed out the door. On my way out, I met up with Levy to head to homeroom together.

"Ah, welcome in, Ms. Heartfilia! I'm your homeroom teacher Mr. Clive. My darling daughter Cana has mentioned you quite a lot already!"

"It's nice to have you as my homeroom teacher, Mr. Clive! I look forward to the rest of the semester!" I took my seat right next to Levy in the front, joining the rest of the girls' conversation.

Starting from 5 minutes til the bell rang, the troublemakers stumbled in one by one. Huh... guess we all have homeroom together... Well, maybe not. Jellal still wasn't here. The bell finally rang and Mr. Clive shut the door. "Alright! You kids got 15 minutes to either let out or bring out your energy! AND REMEMBER!"
