Fairy Tail High

Chapter 6: Hidden talents

Chatter filled the classroom as people pilled in to begin an excruciating day of brain labour. A black-haired boy walked into the class, a scowl on his face and a book in his hand; he walked over to a desk near the window, slammed his hand and book on to the table then stared at its inhabitant. A man with muscular arms crossed over his chest, which was leaned back in his chair, and equally annoyed scowl glared back at the intruder. "Whaddaya want, ice boy?" The man in the desk asked, leaning farther in his chair, "Have you seen Juvia?" Ice boy, better known as Gray asked, is scowl softening slightly as he talked. "Nah, why?" Gray sighed and held up the book in his hand, "You found her creeper book?" The man smirked, he knew what was in that book and he knew it was something that would make people, especially Gray, uncomfortable to say the least. "Yes, unfortunately," He shivered, thinking about the stuff that was in that book made his brain hurt, why would someone be so creepy? And why about me? Don't I have enough problems already? He felt conflicted, obviously this girl, who he wished he could remember more about, had strong feelings for him, but she was so creepy and clearly not very confident because she couldn't voice any of her feelings. From what he could remember, they had met before; at the start of high school, about a month or so after he had begun his first year, she moved to FTH along with Gajeel after Phantom Lord was shut down by the city council, they had introductions but that was it. He remembered when they first met, they talked alittle, but after that, not much.

"So, you read it?" The man looked at the book, Gray nodded and opened the book to the first page, he looked at the drawing, "I didn't know you where such a talented artist, Gaji" He mocked as he looked over the lined pages. "Shuddup," Gajeel grumbled as he looked away. Gray snickered as he went to his seat.

"Morning, Gajeel!" A voice chirped as she sat in the seat in front of him, her friend sitting next to her, "Mornin', Shrimp." She smiled and turned to her friend, "You shouldn't rock on your chair, you know," The blonde said to him, "Tsk." Was all he said before looking out the window once more. "Good morning, Erza," Lucy said, looking up to the red head and smiling, "Good morning, Lucy. How are you?" The beautiful woman asked. "I'm good," Erza smiled then walked past her to the muscular man, "You shouldn't rock on your chair." He looked towards her, "Whattaya gonna do? Gimme a detention?" He asked sarcastically, "No, a warning." She spoke. He was about to talk but stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he then felt himself being pushed back slightly, he then lost his balance and chair hit the ground with a thud. "Ow.." He groaned looking at the ceiling, "You shouldn't rock on your chair," She said as he walked away, snickers and giggles were heard around the class room.

"Hey, Luce!" A voice called as he waved to his friend, Lucy smiled, "Hey, Natsu." He walked past her to the man on the floor, "Why ya on the floor?" He asked raising an eyebrow as he looked at Gajeel, who was frowning angrily. He didn't answer. "He disobeyed Erza," Lucy said, smirking. "Idiot," Natsu said looking down to him, "What did ya call me?" The man asked angrily, getting up and glaring at Natsu, "Idiot, you do not disobey a monster." He said glaring back at the man. "What was that?" Erza suddenly appeared and asked, an almost visible aura around her. "Nothing!" He squeaked, going to his seat, Gajeel mumbled something under his breathe before sitting down.

Erza walked to the front of the class, taking her position next to Mr Conbolt. "Everyone take your seats," She called, everyone sat down, and the room was quiet. "As you all know," She began, "Class 3b is having a singing and music contest to help raise money for charity." As she spoke some people nodded and some looked around unknowingly, "We are? New news to me." A certain salmon-haired boy spoke from his seat in the class, "Shut up Natsu, I was talking!" The women shouted, a faint 'sorry Erza' was heard, but mostly ignored. "You'll have to teach me that trick sometime, Erza, I can never get him to shut his trap," Mr Conbolt stated, a little louder than intended.
