(Normal P.O.V.)

Sunlight poured into Lucy Heartfilia's once-dark bedroom. She pulled the covers up to her head as the sun's rays hit her eyes.

"Hime, you must wake up," came a female voice. Lucy opened one eye. Oh, It's just Virgo, she said to herself as she closed her eye again.

"5 more minutes" Lucy mumbled.

"Hime, you have to wake up. You'll be late for school!"

Lucy shot up. "What time is it?" she asked.

"7:35" Virgo replied.

"Crap! School starts at 8!" Lucy cried and dashed towards the bathroom. "Tell Levy to wait!" she said over her shoulder.

"She already left!" Virgo replied.

Lucy showered as fast as she can. She could not be late today. Not on the first day of formal classes on her new school. This was actually all her fault; she accidentally-on-purpose forgot to set the alarm the previous night. She can't help it, it's annoying!

As soon as she's done showering, she blow-dried her long blonde hair, and tied a ribbon to the side. She's a beautiful young lady. She inherited her blonde hair and chocolate-brown eyes from her mother, Layla, who died when she was just 5 years old. The only thing she inherited from her father is his wealth. Her dad died from a gunshot last year. So, the only people whom Lucy is living with, are the maids, cooks, and of course, her celestial spirits.

Lucy raced down the grand staircase two at a time and almost tripped.

"Breakfast, madam?" Asked one maid.

"Thanks," Lucy said, taking a piece of toast and raced outside.

RING!

The school bell had already rung by the time Lucy reached the gates of Fairy High. She ran through the hallway towards her locker, and took all the textbooks she needed.

For now, her only concern is to reach her classroom. She ran as fast as she could, and then BAM! She ran into someone. Lucy's textbooks were flying in all directions.

Great! Now I can't reach first period on time, Lucy thought.

She cursed under her breath as she collected her textbooks.

"Here ya go. I'm sorry about a while ago," said the guy who bumped into her, handing her, her textbooks.

Lucy looked up. The first thing she noticed about the guy is his hair. It's pink! This guy's hair is pink! Other than that, his skin looks tanned, and he gave her a toothy grin. He seems friendly, Lucy thought.

"Hey. I gotta get to class," the guy said, and off he went.

Lucy's next class is Biology.

Here she is, sitting all alone in the Biology lab. She sighed. I wish Levy was here, she said to herself.

Just then, a green-haired lady entered the lab.

"Good morning class, I am Ms. Bisca, your Biology teacher for this school year. Now, before you introduce yourselves, please find a lab partner first."

Instantly, the students were standing up, and were busy talking, saying things like "Let's be lab partners!"

Lucy looked at each and every one expectantly. She was hoping that a friendly classmate would approach her and be like, "Hey, you're the new girl, right? Let's be lab partners!" but so far, no luck. She sighed quietly in her seat.

Soon, everyone has their own partners. Everyone that is, except Lucy.

"Where's your partner?" Ms. Bisca asked her.

Lucy could feel everybody's eyes on her. "Me? Oh, Ummm… I guess I'll work individually this year." She said.

"Are you sure?"

Lucy nodded.

"Well then, you-"

"YES! I FINALLY MADE IT!" Came a voice from the door.

Everybody turned to the door. It was the guy whom Lucy bumped into this morning. This time however, his pink hair was more unkempt than earlier.

Ms. Bisca frowned, "Don't you have any manners?"

"Oh, sorry," the guy said, entering the lab.

"Well then, I guess this makes you her partner," Ms. Bisca said, motioning him to sit next to Lucy.

"Hey, it's you!" the guy said loudly.

"Uhhh… Me?" Lucy asked, pointing at herself.

"Weren't you the girl I ran into earlier this morning?" he asked.

"Yes. I guess so." Lucy said.

The guy extended his arm, asking for a handshake. "I'm Natsu Dragneel by the way. Glad to meetcha…"

"Lucy."

"Lucy!"

Awkward silence. Lucy stared at his hand, to him.

Natsu frowned. "Never mind. I guess they already told you about it." He said, putting his arm down.

"Tell me what?" Lucy asked.

"About-"

"Okay class, get your textbooks, and open it to page 12" Ms. Bisca said just as Natsu was about to reply.

Enjoyed it?

Hmm...
