Chapter 2: Detention
Teusday 6th of September, at the principal's office...
"I'm sorry gramps, but I had to teach them that they can't go around bullying people. Last year was bad enough. I was just done with them." Natsu said. "I know how you feel son, but as principal of Fairytail high, I can not let this slip. Sorry Natsu, but you have detention for the rest of the week." Principal Makarov said. And now Natsu threw his hands in the air as protest. "Ahh, come on gramps, you can't be serious?! Detention? For the rest of the week?!" Natsu asked. But Makarov would not hear it. "Rest. Of. The. Week. Detention. You're dismissed." He said. And with that Natsu left the office beaten.

At room 006, homeroom with Mr. Clive...
Natsu took his seat besides Lucy with a grumpy look on his face. Erza, Gray, and Lucy all looked at him, and Lucy asked. "So, what did the principal said?" Natsu looked at them then crossed his arms and said. "I got detention, for the rest of the week."
"HAHAHA!" Gray laughed at Natsu. "Good going flame bra-." Gray was cut off by a piece of eraser that flew against the back of his head. "Ow!" He yelped. "Freaking Max, just wait you bastard." He muttered under his breath.
And now it was Natsu's turn to laugh. "HAHAHA! Serves you right, popsicle." He said. "Don't you laugh pinkie, this all your fault anyway. Since you fought Jet and Droy, Max won't leave me alone." Gray said. "He will get what he deserves, but I'll get him off school grounds. I'm not as dumb as you." Gray finished with a smirk on his face.
"What did you say you pervert? You wanna go?" Natsu said as he stood up. Gray also stood up and said. "You want a piece of me, huh, flame brain." "Sit down, both of you" Erza said as she smacked the both of them on the head. "Aye sir!" they both said as they fell back in their seat.

Later, at lunch...
Natsu, Gray and the rest were sitting at their lunch table as usual, when Max,, who was sitting a table behind them, threw a drink at Gray, spilling it all over his head and shirt. "Ah, come on." Gray said as he turned his head to look at Max. "Max! Aren't you going to leave me alone, you bastard!" He yelled at him. "Don't yell at me Gray." Max replied. "The one you should yell at is your friend there. He's to blame." And with that he stood up and walked away.
"Gray" Elfman spoke up. "A man needs to stand up for himself, grow some balls." "Don't listen to him Gray, Max is not worth it, you know that." Levi said as she dried Gray's face with a napkin. "I'm going to get him back. But not now." Gray said as he took off his shirt, and he thought. "Just you wait Max. Just you wait.

Later, after school, in the boys bathroom...
Gray stood there by the sink, trying to wash the stains out of his shirt, without success. "Arrghh! Why won't these freaking stains go away already!" he said with frustration. "I give up." He said with a sigh as he put his shirt in his back, and walking out of the bathroom.
As Gray walked down the hallway, he suddenly tripped over something and he fell flat on his face. "Ow! What was that?" Gray said as he sat back up and rubbing his face.
"Oh sorry, did my foot just slipped there?" Max said as he looked down at Gray. "To bad you didn't broke your nose on the floor, my little snow cone." He finished. As Max said all that, Gray was standing up. And now he was looking Max straight in the eye, anger all over his face. "Prepare to get iced, Max." was all Gray said before punching Max straight in the face, making him fall on his back.
"To bad you didn't broke your nose on my fist, bastard." Gray said with a smirk on his face as Max stood back up. "Don't push it, snowman." Max said as he wiped the blood from his nose. And he realized just in time that Gray was trying to give him a right hook. Max ducked under Gray's fist and delivered a blow to his stomach, followed by an uppercut to the chin, forcing Gray back.
But Gray recovered quickly and launched himself at Max with a volley of punches, giving Max a hard time. Max blocked the majority of the punches, but still, received a few good hits. But Max wasn't helpless, and he kicked at Gray's knee, forcing him to his knees. And he followed that up with a knee to Gray's jaw, sending him sliding a bit back across the floor.
"is that all you got after your mister tough guy act, huh Gray?" Max asked mockingly as Gray stood up. "I'm not done yet, dessert face." Gray said as he readied himself. "Now come at me." And he waved his hand at Max. Max, gritting his teeth, launched himself at Gray. First with an right direct, followed by an left one. But Gray caught both fists and gave Max an head butt, followed by an kick to the legs, sweeping them from underneath Max. With Max lying on his back now, Gray proceeded to sit on top of him, and punching him repeatedly in the face.
As Gray was busy punching Max, he didn't notice that principal Makarov stood behind him. "Ahem, Gray Fullbuster, what do you think you are doing?" Makarov asked. Gray then stopped dead in his tracks and looked back at Makarov. "Uuuhhh, hi principal. How are you doing." Gray said with an sweat drop.

At detention...
Natsu was sitting there with an bored expression on his face, till he heard the door open, and Gray stepped in with some wounds on his face. "What happened to you?" Natsu asked. "I got fed up with Max." Gray simply replied while sitting down. "I thought you weren't as dumb as I?" Natsu asked. "Natsu, just don't, I'm not in the mood right now." Gray said as he turned to look out the window. And Natsu just sat there with a grin on his face.
