Chapter 2

Salamu fellow Readers,

Yet again here we are.

After ten minutes, it seemed that Levy's patience had run out. With an exasperated sigh, she reached out and grabbed the blonde heiresses hand.

"Come on Lu! We can't just stand here looking at the sign forever. At some point we actually have to go inside or we'll be late for class."

Lucy blushed lightly in embarrassment, not wanting to believe that she had been standing there for so long. While it was Fairy-Tail High, possibly one of the greatest schools on the continent, it was still a school, no matter how much better it was than Sabertooth, should she really be so excited for this?

She honestly thought the answer was 'yes', but she would never say so out loud.

As they walked up to the door, Lucy took the opportunity to look at the school itself, instead of just the sign.

It was a large campus, centered around the main office and cafeteria building, which was designed like a castle, of to the right of the building was a gym/community center, and to the left was the actual school building, with the classrooms and library.

The bluenette was dragging her friend towards the main building in the center to see the principal and get her class schedule. Really it was just a formality, they had already called ahead and gotten her schedule, school ID, and a map of the campus mailed to her, due to the fact that Jude liked to be prepared in this sort of situation, and therefore made sure that Lucy was as well, but Lucy went along with it knowing that Levy was almost as excited to show her around, as she was to see everything.

She was quite surprised to see who was behind the secretary's desk.

"Mira?"

The white haired woman looked up from her work and smiled warmly at her.

"Why good morning Lucy, I'm so glad that you got to transfer to Fairy-Tail High!"

Lucy had yet to fully regain control of her lower jaw, which was still hanging loosely after her initial shock, so her next words sounded something like, "I hought hyou were a hugent here."

At the sight of Mira's head being cocked to one side in confusion, the blonde shook her own, and spoke again.

"I thought you were a student here."

A look of understanding replaced the one of confusion on Mira's face, as her mouth formed an "O". She then shook her head and giggled a little as she responded.

"Oh I was last year, I graduated. Now I'm working here as an intern."

Now it was Lucy's turn to adopt a look of understanding, though hers was shortly replaced another one of confusion.

"But, we saw Erza in the school uniform earlier, isn't she the same age as you?"

Mira smirked, and Lucy heard a giggle from the bluenette beside her.

"Mira is older than Erza by two weeks, Erza was born just after the cutoff date. A fact that has bothered her for pretty much the entire time they've known each other."

"I used to rub it in her face in middle school." Mira supplied, still smirking, "Still do sometimes, she always reacts."

"Isn't that just a little cruel?" Lucy asked, grinning in spite or herself.

"Yes, yes it is," Mira stated, "but what are best friends for?"

Lucy made a mental note to not let Mira become her "best friend". She also sent a subtle (or so she thought) warning glare in Levy's direction.
