Wait...You're a Girl?!? [On Hold]

To Tie a Tie

The boys stood in front of poor Aku, staring him down like he was some sod of criminal. "L-Luke?! What's happening right now?," his voice was shaky like a frightened chihuahua.

"What are you guys doing?," I said. Their heads snapped in my direction. "How do you know he's not a bad guy?" I went up to Aku and pinched his cheek, "how can someone so innocent be bad?" Then I glared at all of them, "And also, I know more about him than you do, and he's nothing but a good person. Besides, do you really think I'm a bad judge in character? Just believe me. I trust him...and so should you!"

I let go of Aku's warm cheek and left. Those boys...they've been acting so strangely.

"He seemed really serious," Sting said. Rouge nodded and stared at the brunette. He didn't like him. Not because he didn't trust him, but because he knew Aku liked Lucy. That made him a threat. 

"I still don't really like you...," Natsu said with a pout as he crouched down to meet Aku's eye level, who was currently on the ground, "but if Luke says to trust you, then I'm going to trust you."

"Wow! You're actually being mature for once!!" Loke patted Natsu's back and laughed at him. The pinkette growled and slapped his hand away with a grumpy expression. "So...," Gray put his hand out, "sorry about that un-warm welcome." Aku grabbed his hand hesitantly and hoisted himself up. "It's fine. Really."

"No. We didn't give you a chance. But we're giving it to you now. Show us we can trust you just like Luke does. Alright?," Zeref said with a straight face as he placed his hand on his shoulder. "Alright guys! No time for chit chat! School starts in twenty minutes, so get ready!," he yelled. He lifted Natsu up by the collar of his shirt. "You too Mr. Emotional."

"Oh right! I forgot school started late today," Sting said in slight panic. Rouge glanced at him with an 'are-you-stupid?' look on his face. "Did you really not see the five out of eight of us in our uniforms?" Rouge, Loke, Zeref, 'Luke', and Gray were already in their uniforms before the whole fiasco started. Of course Natsu and Sting forgot. Aku just didn't know.

Sting, now feeling stupid, dragged himself into his room and changed into his uniform. As for Aku, he made his way to his room and looked at the clothing in front of him. A white dress shirt, dark brown slacks, black shoes and socks, a white blazer with a blue FMHS symbol on it, and a red tie. He had no problem putting everything on...except the tie. And also, his right arm sleeve did nothing but flap around freely. He sighed and knocked of the pink door, sucking up his pride. The door opened revealing the large brown orbs of Lucy. "Hey. Did you need something?"

"Um...yeah. I don't actually know...how to tie this," he said holding out the red piece of fabric. Lucy giggled and opened the door wider to let him in. "Can you also help me with the sleeve. It would be awkward to have it just flapping everywhere."

"Yeah. Just put it on my bed so I can show you how to tie this." He tosses his blazer on the bed and bent over to let Lucy put the tie around his neck. "It's simple. Just take the larger piece and twist it around the smaller one, then tuck it into the loop in the back, then in the front...and...there! Did that make sense?" She leaned away from his face and awaited his answer. But he was flustered from the close proximity they had. "Y-yeah. Thanks. It's more uncomfortable than I thought."

"Yeah. But you get used to it. Now for your blazer, I'll just sew it. So wait in the living room until I'm done okay?" She said. He nodded and exited. He lightly slapped his face. "Focus!"

"Hm? Something wrong?," Rouge asked leaning against the wall. "N-no. I'm fine."

"You sure?" He pushed himself off the wall and stood in front of him. "You're bad at hiding it."

"Hiding what?!"

"I know you like Luke."

"I assume you do too, since you're asking me." Rouge's face burned a scarlet colour and looked at the floor. "Yes. But I'm almost certain everyone else in this dormitory likes him too."

Aku frowned. The way he said him. Was he one of the two here who knew that Lucy was Lucy?

"What are you..."

"Guys! Let's go!," Lucy yelled down the corridor.

"YEAH!!" Natsu shouted, bursting out of his room with newfound energy. "Looks like someone is feeling better," Sting said adjusting his tie. Lucy handed Aku his blazer with a stitched up right arm socket. "Thank you." He said.

"Not a problem out all. Now, let's get going or we'll be late."

"Welcome to the Fairy Tail school!" We all shouted. I pushed Aku inside and everyone stopped what they were doing. "NEW STUDENT!!," someone shouted.

"YEEAAAAAHHH!!"

Wow, okay. Why weren't they this excited when I joined.

"Welcome? Who might you be?," I heard Mirajane say to Aku.

"My name is Aku," he mumbled.

"You're going to join Fairy Tail?"

He nodded. Mira pulled out a stamp and asked where he wanted his stamp. He pulled off his blazer and pointed to his right bicep, right above where his arm was removed. Once the stamp was placed, his blazer turned an off white colour and the FMHS symbol turned into the fairy tail emblem and became dark red like his fairy tail tattoo.

"Congrats!," I said. Now all you have to do is talk to master about your schedule and you're good to go! His office is to the right down the hall. The doors a huge. You can't miss it."

He nodded slightly and walked off. He seemed happier. That's good.

I walked off to the Slayer class and prepared to witness the fights that would most likely break out between Laxus, Natsu, and Gajeel. I sighed.
I should really look into studying privately.

Once class began, as expected, Natsu and Gajeel clashed their heads together.

"YOU REALLY THINK YOUR'E STRONGER?!," Gajeel shouted.

"DUH!  FIRE MELTS METAL!!"

"SO WHAT?!"

"THAT MEANS IM STRONGER!"

"THATS INVALID"

"NUH UH"

"IM STRONGER"

"NO I AM"

"LUKE! WHO'S STRONGER?!" They both shouted.

I slammed my head onto the desk.

I should defiantly consider private classes.
