My first fanfiction so reviews please!

Chapter 1: There you were after break

Third year Natsu Dragneel walked down the halls of Fairy Tail High glancing around to see his fellow students: classmates, senpais and kohais. Chuckling at his sudden breakthrough then frowning when he realized it took him until the second semester of his 3rd of 4 years of highschool to realize that whoever made the school's dress code, probably the principal, was a total perv.

One look at the girl's uniforms should have made it blatantly obvious. It was as if their uniform was pulled straight from an anime, white shirt, short blue skirt, Fairy Tail tie, and school jacket all dressed with a Fairy Tail symbol somewhere. Although the boys uniform was nowhere near as specific, in fact, it was exceedingly vague. According to the rule book, "Boys must wear long sleeved, collared shirts of a solid color, long pants of a solid, non outrageous color, belt, Fairy Tail tie, and school jacket when desired."

The dress code was strictly enforced, though there was not much problems on either gender's side. Wearing the highly coveted solid black tie with a small, easily seen gold Fairy Tail symbol at the bottom was really not an issue.

'Girls in cute outfits and an easy-going uniform with a cool tie' Natsu thought before saying aloud, "How could I complain?"

Natsu's sudden outburst drew the attention of well, everybody as he continued his stroll to homeroom.

"Hi Natsu-senpai!" giggled a group of younger girls as he passed them. Natsu flashed a smile in recognition earning more giggles and a few blushes.

"Yo Natsu!" an older boy said as he walked by.

A group of shadier students walked down the halls in the opposite direction causing many students to step to the side clearing the way. As they reached Natsu, he gave them a nod of recognition, which they returned and continued walking.

This action earned the admiration of some of the first years who didn't really know much about Natsu besides what he looked like and that everybody seemed to know him. However, he and his group seemed oblivious to the fact that they were the most well-known students in the school known as Fairy Tail's Tenrou Team to the other students.

Natsu Dragneel a guy with a ton of street cred, earning pretty much the respect of every delinquent in the school yet still massively revered by his fellow regular students for standing up for every Fairy Tail High student outside of school. After all the school itself had a reputation for being one big crazy family and Natsu's actions reflected it well.

"Fight, play, and treat each other in school as siblings, to defend each other like family." Those words Natsu heard in his first year from that crazy guy had justified the actions Natsu took.

'Please like I need you to tell me that. That's how its supposed to be.' Natsu smiled as he remembered yelling those words at the opening ceremony two years ago.

"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I WENT THE FUCKING WRONG WAY!" Natsu shouted as he realized as he was lost in his thoughts made a wrong turn. He had no clue how or when as the halls were relatively straight. Regardless Natsu never fails to disappoint as several students heard his outburst and started laughing. Shrugging it off he turned around and headed in the correct direction at least he hoped it was. He wasn't that confident after his recent mishap.

Eventually Natsu reached the door of his homeroom, opened it without hesitation, and casually started walking to his seat. A couple of students waved to which he waved back, before noticing Gray Fullbuster, his best friend and rival, talking to Cana Alberona and Juvia Lockser. They didn't notice him enter so he continued to his seat and that's when he saw her sitting there looking out the window when she turned and smiled to him signalling to take his seat next her. Next to her, Erza Scarlet, his longtime friend and crush.

Natsu stopped where he was and swallowed, thinking about what to do next.

*Beep* *Beep*

Natsu ran a hair through his pink hair before turning off his alarm clock. He laid there for awhile, still drowsy from waking up so early.

'School today, huh' Natsu thought to himself as he sat up. He got dressed and checked the mirror to make sure nothing was out of place before throwing his trademark scarf on and walked out of his room. To his surprise his house was empty.

Now his Dad being gone by the time he woke up Natsu was used to, but his Mom was usually there making breakfast or cleaning the house. He shrugged and went to the kitchen took a couple of Pop Tarts, grabbed his keys and headed out. Locking his door he walked out eyeing his car in the driveway and smiled at a red 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX STi (Author's Note: Will be referred to as STi from now on. Car lingo).

"Man, I'm lucky!" Natsu shouted as he walked to it while checking the time.

"Eh, sorry babe guess I'm walking today got too much time before school starts." Natsu said as he turned around and headed for school on foot. Halfway to school hearing a familiar car he turned around to see a white Mazda RX-7 FD3S (AN: FD from now on) pass him. The driver honked at Natsu as he passed to greet him and continued driving to school.

'Bastard coulda gave me a ride to school,' Natsu thought,'Oh well I was the one who wanted to walk in the first place he'd probably make fun of me anyways.'

He saw a group of students from his school talking about what they did over the break, who they hung out with and such. It left him feeling a bit envious he hadn't really seen or hung out with any of his friends over the break. He kept to himself feeling he just needed some time alone.

'I did see that one jerk who drove by though.' Natsu thought. He chuckled at the experience. As much as he would like to take another go at that day he was not sure if he could survive a second round.

Although he did wish he had seen a certain scarlet haired someone over the break too.

And that scarlet haired someone who he had wanted to see was the first thing he noticed when he had walked into his homeroom. Not the group of students who had waved to him when entering, not Gray Fullbuster and the girls he was talking to, not Lucy Heartfilia who he pretended to not notice after some unpleasant history with her the last couple years, but her Erza Scarlet.

Despite that he continued on a roundabout course to his seat instead of moving to her, but when he was en route to his seat it was then...that's when he saw her sitting there looking out the window when she turned and smiled to him signalling to take his seat next her. Next to her, Erza Scarlet, his longtime friend and crush.

Natsu stopped where he was and swallowed, thinking about what to do next..

"Heyy...

Hi! Poingle here. This is my first fic. I've been a lurker reader for many years now actually at least since my first year of highschool which for me was 9th grade and I'm a freshman in college now second semester so its been awhile, coulda been before its likely.

Well I decided to throw one out cause I just got so much free time why not I'll try to improve as a writer as it goes maybe by the end it'll look like writers switched several times who knows.

Like it hate it? I'd love some feedback. Reviews please :D

So I used some car lingo cause I'm into cars and what not. So if Natsu's car is the STi who can guess what Gray's will be LOL. And the mysterious guy in the white FD hmm.

I threw a NaZa out because I like the pairing, its probably my favorite FT pair and wanted to get it out there even more I've been reading it since there was only like 1 page of fics.

Well that's really all for now! Goal for this fic is to update once every two weeks and within the week if early. If its late its unfortunate.
