~Lucy's POV~

I turned on the other side of my back, rustling the sheets in the process. I threw my hands down in frustration and exhaustion. I rubbed my eyes, removing the crust from their corners. The clock indicated that it was a quarter till midnight.

I couldn't sleep, my body just wouldn't let me. Maybe I was just nervous that tomorrow was my first day at a new school.

My father and I had moved to Magnolia about a month ago. After my mothers death, we needed a fresh start. I had spent my summer cooped up in my room, and I was perfectly fine with that. My dad was always busy dealing with our company, Heartfilia Estates. We kept our distance from each other, but we both seem to be fine with that.

I'll admit that it was really tough leaving my last school.

I had made so many wonderful friends, as well as memories that will last a lifetime. This is not the time to start feeling sad Lucy!  I'm sure that I'll make a lot of new friends at the FairyTail Institute.

After the little discussion that I had with myself, my head feels clear. I am ready for a fresh start, I'm ready for something new! I grinned as I shut my eyes closed, dreaming of what tomorrow would be like.

---------

My eyes fluttered open to the sound of my alarm. The constant beeping made my head start to ache. I slung my arm towards the small device. I scavenged the little box for the off button. I found it and instantly started rubbing my eyes. After blinking multiple times, my vision became clear.

I slung my legs over the side of my bed and lifted myself up. I slumped over to my mirror, and grabbed my hot pink hair brush. I combed my long blonde hair, and then continued to get ready. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, applied some natural looking makeup, and got dressed.

I decided to wear a salmon colored dress. It was a little short, but I think I could manage. I matched it with some black flats. I grabbed my back pack and stomped downstairs.

The kitchen was right next to the stairwell, so I easily walked into the dark room. I flipped on the switch, shocked to see multiple beer bottles on the surface of the island. I sighed and threw them all into the recycling bin. My dad had obviously over done himself last night. I quickly grabbed a granola bar from the cabinet above the sink.

I then left my house, making sure that the door was locked behind me. I tucked the key inside one of the pockets on my back pack, and I started walking towards the school.

We didn't live that far away, so my father and I agreed that I would walk to school. It was about a ten minute walk, so I really didn't mind. As soon as I spotted the school, my heart skipped a beat. I could feel myself start to sweat.

The cold fall breeze helped my body temperature decrease. My nerves kept growing as I started to see new faces. Everyone was socializing and laughing, they all seemed really close.

As I stepped on campus, heads started to turn. People started to notice my presence, noticing that I was a stranger.
"Is she the new girl?"
"She's really pretty."
"I bet she has a really hot bod."
I wish I looked like her."

All of the pressuring comments caused me to stare at the ground. I kept walking through the mass of people, until someone casually grabbed my arm.

"Eh?! I'm sorry," I stated as I covered my face. I heard a husky laugh and slowly removed my hands from my face.
"Nothing to be sorry about hot stuff." I glanced at the person who had basically just cat called on me. He had orange hair, along with these cool silver and blue glasses.

I found myself speechless. He was really attractive, but didn't exactly seem like my type. "I'm Loki, and who am I going to be taking on a date tonight?" He seductively said as he slung his arm around my shoulder. His face got closer to mine, making me flinch.

"I-I," I stuttered before I was interrupted.
"Going after the new girl already Loki? That's low," a raven haired boy yelled as he approached us. He was also very attractive, making my nerves rise with embarrassment. His dark eyes met mine, making me look away. I was blushing, so I covered my cheeks with one of my arms. Loki detached himself from me, obviously annoyed.
"You never let me have any fun Gray," he said in a nasty tone.

Gray was a very unique name, I liked it.

"Just trying to warn the girl of your little love spell," Gray said mocking his attitude.
"It's not a spell. She's just a new girl, something fresh." I cringed at his crude words. "I've been dying for something new," Loki said as he licked his lips. I felt a little creeped out at his perverted words.

"Too far man," Gray said as he flicked Loke's forehead. He reacted and turned towards Gray.
"What the hell was that for?!" Loke said balling his hands up into fists. Gray just laughed at Loki's reaction.

"I'm Lucy," I said to break the awkward tension. They both turned to me and smiled.
"Lucy, that's a pretty name." Loki swiftly moved toward me, grabbing a lock of my hair.

He ran it through his fingers, and brought it up to his nose. He inhaled deeply, smelling my hair. Great, the first day and I've already met a creep! 

"Smells like strawberries," Loki said as the hair fell down on my back. I took a step back out of shock. This dude was creepy!

"U-uh, please stop." I said timidly. I looked towards the ground due to my lack of self confidence.
"You are so damn cute, I could just eat you up, literally." My face instantly felt hot as he said those words.

I saw him smirk out of my peripherals. I knew I was blushing like a mad man. I need someone to save me from this awkwardness. I can't handle it anymore!

"Loki, leave the poor girl alone," a mysterious voice said behind me. My hair was covering my eyes, so I didn't get a glance of my savior.

Loki grunted and suddenly walked away, Gray followed him obediently. Who had this power? Who could possibly have driven away that pervert?

I heard the stretching of leather as the mystery man approached me. I continued staring at the floor, shocked at my first reaction with the students.

The man stood right in front of me. I could basically feel him staring at me. I suddenly felt his hand grabbing my chin. He gently lifted my chin up so I didn't have a choice but to look at him.

Holy smokes he is hot. His natural hair color, is pink! It's the color of my dress, a salmon like color. His onyx eyes looked cold and hard, his jawline was
to die for.

By this time, my whole face was red.

"I just saved your ass Blondie, you owe me."
