Fairy Tail High

Chapter 3: Awkwardness in adolecence

After seemingly hours of talking, the bell rang signalling the end of all clubs and detentions. It's deafening shriek filled the empty halls, echoing as it hit the locker lined walls. Lucy stood from her seat, the time she'd spent sharing stories and interests left a delighted grin on her pale face. She headed for the door, closely followed by a certain salmon-haired boy. They walked out in to the corridor, continuing their conversation as they did so, "See, detention wasn't so bad." Natsu stated, a broad smile on his face. "I guess it wasn't, maybe I'll go again," She joked while giggling. "Try not to make a habit out of it, Miss Heartfilia," A deep, raspy spoke from ahead of them.

A small, old man was walking towards them, he was dressed in a white shirt, which was mostly covered by a purple vest, and oxford blue suit trousers. His face was relaxed, and he held his hands behind his back. "I won't sir," Lucy replied trying not to laugh and act as serious as possible, this made Natsu struggle to keep a straight face, which intern made it harder for Lucy to hold back laughter so on and so forth. The old man redirected his attention to the boy holding back hysterics, his face tensed as it was flooded with seriousness, his eyes narrowed. "Mr Dragneel, if you're going to break the rules, please don't drag others down with you, especially nice young ladies," The man's voice was firm and riddled with annoyance. "Yes, Principal Makarov," "Good, move along now, this is a hall way not a gawking area, scram" He shooed them away with his hand, they quickly scurried passed him and continued walking the way they were.

As they walked down the hall they came to a door, printed on the glass panel was 'English 2', Lucy branched off from her new friend, and walked towards the door. "Where ya going?" The boy asked, his voice riddled with confusion, "I left my book in there when I had English, I just wanna get it." She stepped closer to the door, "Kay." The blonde pushed the handle down gentle then pushed the door open, expecting to see an empty class. Surprisingly, her expectation was not a reality, in fact, what she saw was much, much worse than an empty class. She froze in her stance. "Luce?" No reply, "What is-" He walked next to her and peered into the class, all his questions were answered. He also froze in his where he stood.

Perched on the front desk was a radiant woman with hair the colour of blooming pink roses, that was curled at the end which made it look voluminous. She was wearing a short, sleeveless white dress that hugged her curves snugly. There was a hand placed gently on her waist and another on the back of her neck. These hands belonged to the man which had his tongue locked with hers in battle. He had long spiked ginger hair and black framed glasses. He was clad in a black suit and blood red tie and had pale hand flung around his neck, softly stroking his napes and playing with tufts of his amber cane hair.

Their faces were blank. Natsu was about to clear his voice to announce their presence when Lucy interrupted, "Leo?!" She asked/yelled. The man broke away from the radiant woman, who was blushing profusely, then turned to look at the duo. "Lucy?!" The man said, exasperatedly before walking to the door. Lucy moved out of the door way to let him pass, then watched him shut the door behind himself, she folded her arms. "Lucy, what are you doing here?" He whisper-shouted to her. "I had a detention, what are you doing here?" She asked dryly. "You got a detention on your first day?"

"Yes and stop trying to change the subject!" She whisper-shouted back to him. "Fine, just don't tell your mum," He pleaded.

"Are you asking me to lie to my darling mother?" She said in an offended tone.

"Oh, stop it with that act, we all know you lie to her all the time!"

"That is not true! How dare you accuse me of something so horrible?" She put her hand on her heart, trying to look shocked at the accusation. But ultimately failed when he gave her a 'really' look, "Fine, I won't tell her," She began. "Oh, thank you so much Lucy!" The man said, a huge smile covering his face, "Wait, I'm not done," She continued, "I won't tell her AS LONG AS you don't tell her about this."
