Chapter 3: New Student
''Ohaio, Levy.''
Levy closed her locker, holding the folder in her arms as she gave her red headed friend a bright smile, the red headed girl smiling back.
''Ohaio, Erza. Lisanna.'' She said and smiled at the re headed girl's friend that was standing next to Erza.
Lisanna smiled, ruffling her hair with a smile.
''Ohaio, Levy.'' She said, leaning on her left foot as a few students passed them, chatting about something about the new diner they were going to visit after school.
''You look tired, Levy. Did you sleep well?'' Erza said, tilting her head a little, with worry in her voice.
Levy laughed awkwardly, rubbing herself on the back of her head. ''Ano, I ended up staying awake the whole night.''
''Did something happen?'' Lisanna asked, placing a hand on her hip.
''Nah, nothing really. Just got to caught up with my book.'' Levy said, giving them a closed eyed nervous laugh.
Lisanna giggled and Erza chuckled. '' You and your books.'' Erza said, making Levy's smile brighten.
''So, where are the others?'' She asked, looking over her shoulder. '' We are in the same class after all, I thought they would be with you.''
Erza sighed, shaking her head. ''Well, they were.''
''Were?'' Levy asked, frowning. '' What happened?''
''Well.'' Lisanna sweat dropped. ''Gajeel and Gray were fighting and Natsu got caught up in the middle of it.''
Levy sweat dropped.
''So they are probably still laying on the ground outside.'' Lisanna finished, making Levy sigh out.
''Geez, those guys.'' Levy muttered.
''As for Mira, she went to welcome a new student that is going to come here today.'' Lisanna explained.
''A new student?'' Levy asked, looking at Lisanna with curiosity.
''Yeah, apparently the student has been home schooled so Mira decided to help. You know, show around and tell the student how things work.''
Levy's mouth fell in a 'o' shape, hugging her folder tighter.
''Where's Juvia?'' She asked.
Erza chuckled. '' Probably still trying to get Gray up from the ground.''
''You are so violent.'' Levy sweat dropped.
The trio laughed as more students filled the corridor.
Well, It's the first school day after the summer break so no wonder there are more students than usual.
***
I was standing outside the school, sweat dripping from my forehead and my wrists burning. The big double doors was closed in front of my eyes and I was debating if I was going to hide in an book store until school is over, but I knew that my Father would have my head if he found out.
I sighed.
Virgo had left me to minutes ago, asking me if she was going to come with me, but me being me, told her no. And I was beginning to regret it.
I swallowed, rolling my lips into my mouth and pushed open the doors, my bag hanging from my right shoulder. The unfamiliar noise of chatter and laughs entered my ear as my eyes landed on the half full hallway. Students was standing by their lockers, laughing and joking around. A few students was sitting on benches outside the classrooms, gossiping about probably everything that have happened during the summer.
I sighed again and stepped inside and as if someone turned of a speaker, the chatter died out and everyone turned to me, some students still chatting as they had better things to do than glare at the new student.
They must really know who goes here, and who doesn't. Or it's maybe because I'm the only one not wearing a school uniform.
I bit my lip, my stomach churning, but I began to walk through the crowd, my hair bouncing on my back. My left arm was hanging on my side and my right was holding on to the bag strap.
''Who's she?'' A voice whispered as I passed two girls.
''Is she the new student?'' Another girl asked.
I walked, trying to hold my face blank from all emotions, while on the inside my stomach was making me want to vomit.
I already hate this.
''Look at her arms. Was she in some kind of accident?''
''Shhh. She can hear you.'' A male voice whispered, making me look around.
Students was staring at me and I sighed, continuing to walk down the corridor before a woman stepped in my path, making me halt.
I looked up, meeting a pair of glowing dark blue eyes. A nice smile was placed on her face. She was wearing a white shirt with a white and blue tie laying over her chest. She was also wearing a grey skirt, matched with a pair of black knee long shoes. She was more or less wearing the exact same outfit the others was wearing. While the girls had skirts, the boys had long pants. School uniform, Lucy guessed.
''My name is Mirajane.'' She introduced, making me blink. My lips fell in a small 'o' shape as she held out her hand. ''You must be the new student.''
I looked down at her hand, as if it was going to bite me and then at her again before letting my right hand fall from the strap and grab her hand. She shook it.
''Lucy.'' I whispered, thinking for a second that I spoke to silently for her to hear, but she nodded and smiled neither less.
''That's a nice smile.'' She said, unfazed of my bandaged arm.
I swallowed and we dropped our hands.
I could hear students whisper behind us and I turned my head around.
''You sure are popular.'' Mirajane giggled, making me uncomfortable. '' It has been a long time since we got a new student, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are going to try and talk to you.''
I turned her and she gave me a closed eyed smile, making me fist my left palm.
''Come.'' She said, gesturing for me to follow her. '' Let's go to Master's office. We can talk further there.''
I nodded and followed her as she began to walk.
So much for being invisible.

Levy took a seat next to the giggling Juvia. Juvia was staring at the raven haired boy in front of her, hearts literally glowing her eyes. The raven haired boy was laughing at something the pink haired boy said, the pink haired boy grinning.
Erza was sitting on the bench next to the two boys, Lisanna next to her. The duo was talking deeply about something, them both smiling through the whole conversation.
''Sitting next to me is a MAN!'' A buffy man said in the front rov, smiling at the brown haired girl next to him. The girl chuckled.
''Aww, Elfman no need to be so loud.'' She said, making the green haired girl on the row behind them laugh. She was sitting next to a black haired boy, a boy that was staring at her as if she was his whole world.
A black haired boy, piercings on his eyebrows, was sitting on the row next to Levy and Juvia. A blonde man with a lightning scar over his left eye was sitting next to him, arms crossed and eyes closed.The duo looked beyond bored and they would probably not be happier than being some place else than in the classroom.
''You know, Juvia.'' Levy said, opening the text book. ''You can always try and ask him out.''
Juvia turned to her, redness covering her cheeks as she lookd at her friend in fear.
''A-A-Ask him o-o-out?!'' the blue haired girl said, placing a hand on her chest. She gripped her blue and white tie, Erza glancing at them. ''J-Juvia could never-!''
Levy laughed and Erza smiled, turning back to Lisanna again.
''There There.'' A male voice said as a well built mans stepped inside the classroom, holding papers in his hands.
The students stopped talking and turned forward to face their teacher, Gildarts, and Gildarts smiled at them. He walked over to his desk, placing the apepers on the desk and then leaned on it.
''Now, Today's lesson is go-''
A throat cleared and everyone turned to the classroom door where Lisanna was standing, her eyes glowing and a friendly smile on her lips. Gildarts sighed, irritated that he got cut off as he was about to start the lesson, but his irritation died out as he saw a blond head behind her and a smile appeared on his lips.
''Mira.'' He said, nodding.
''Sorry I'm Late. I was showing the new student around.'' She said and stepped inside, the new student standing outside the classroom, and far away from everyone's eyes, except the teacher's.
''It's okay, I just started.'' He said and Mira walked over to him before turning to the class.
''Okay, Minna! I want to introduce you guys to your new classmate.'' She said, making Levy and Juvia glance at each other.
A new student, and on top of that, the student was their classmate.
''It's okay.'' Mira said, turning to the door as everyone look at each other. ''It's nothing to be afraid of.''
They heard a pair of feet walking and in stepped a girl. Everyone's eyes widened.
In front of them stood a blonde haired girl, her chest long hair laying over her shoulders. She was wearing their uniform, her hazel brown eyes staring at the floor, not meeting any of the eyes that looked at her.
