~Levy's P.O.V.~

I ran down the street towards my school with my breakfast in hand. I stayed up way too late the night before reading the newest book in my collection, "He Isn't A Dog!". It was a werewolf book, horror. I love horror.

I bumped into a tall man with shining red eyes, my breakfast flew out of my hand and into the street as I fell to the ground. "Oh, sorry!" He said holding his hand out to me. He had a scar across his nose and short black hair. Boy was he dreamy. I always had a thing for crimson colored eyes. They were just so pretty.

"N-no it was my fault." I stuttered. I took his hand and stood up quickly. "I'm Levy." I gave him a soft smile.

The boy returned the smile and turned around, "I'm Rogue but I need to get going. I'm going to run late if I don't."

That's when I remembered I was running late myself, "Oh!" I quickly ran off towards my school.

When I reached the gates the first bell rung. I rushed to my first period class, English.

I tapped my pen against my desk as my teacher started the day's lesson. Bored. I was bored. Most of the stuff we were learning I already knew. I was too smart for my own good. "Levy!" My teacher yelled my name and my head shot up and I smiled at her. "Stop day dreaming!"

"I wasn't day dreaming." I replied plainly. I sighed and my teacher, Ms. Scarlet, glared at me.

"Like I was saying, we're starting a kind of pen pal system with the other schools." Ms. Scarlet walked by each desk placing a slip of paper on them. "This slip tells you who your partner is and what school they're from. You will go on a job with them once a month until the end of the school year."

She placed one on my desk and I picked it up. It read "Gajeel Redfox of Phantom Lord" I froze up in my chair. Phantom Lord was a scary school full of the rough delinquent kids. I wanted nothing to do with them. "Uh Ms. Scarlet, can I get a different one?"

"No." She replied smiling softly at me. "You got him for a reason."

"Why?!"

"Well, we figure you might actually help him change his ways. You're a nice girl and he is close to being expelled."

"And you want me to help him?"

She nodded and the bell rang dismissing us. I sighed as I packed up my things and made my way out of the classroom. The Iron Dragon? I wanted nothing to do with him. I knew he was vicious. What made them think I could help him?

~Gajeel's P.O.V.~

I smirked as the kid ran from me in fear. I had just threatened to beat him for touching my friend Juvia who seemed out of it. She was sick, I assumed it was from all the rain around her, constantly. She gave me a soft, sad, smile and walked off to her first hour. I rolled my eyes, like I always did when people smiled at me and drug my ass to English. My least favorite part of the day, next to Math, Science, and History. I really only liked my two electives. My music class, which I loved just because I loved music and I'm a very talented singer, and my magic class, which helped me understand my iron dragon slaying better.

I plopped my butt down at my desk and threw my legs onto the table top. The teacher gave me a slight glare but when I returned it she gave me a scared smile. "Gihihi," I laughed crossing my arms over my chest. The teachers at our school were mostly pushovers, much like the other schools in general. One day our school was going to destroy the others though, starting with that stupid Fairy Tail school. I hated it.

The final bell rang signaling the start of our first hour. The teacher stood there quietly for a moment and then wrote down the words "pen pal" on the board. She looked over us all. "All the schools have decided to start a pen pal system." She glanced around again then picked up a stack of papers off her desk.

I rolled my eyes at her as she started handing out the small papers. This is a stupid idea. No one here is going to do it, and if they do they won't write nice letters. I gave a low growl once a slip landed on my desk. I picked it up. "Levy McGarden of Fairy Tail" it read. I sat up looking at her. "Why am I assigned to a stupid fairy?!" I yelled.

My teacher turned to face me. I chuckled because I couldn't even remember her name, "That's what the School Council decided to assign you." She replied rather coldly. It was the first time she'd seemed to harsh toward any of us students.

I huffed and got up. "Alright, whatever." I walked to the door and looked back at her, "She better be sending the first letter."

She shook her head. "No, you two are going on your first job together. That'll be tomorrow."

Anger built up inside me and I stomped out of the room before I punched her in the face. I was already on the brink of expulsion and really didn't need this one stupid thing to get me there. I just walked home, deciding I was done with school for the day. Maybe things would be better tomorrow.

I relaxed on my bed with my earphones in my ears. I tapped my foot to my rock music as I read my book. I heard a knock at my door and glared at it. "What?!" I shouted pulled my ear buds out quickly. I set my book down and stomped over to the door. I opened it and a small girl stood there giving me a bitter smile. She looked disgusted with me. "Who are you?" I asked rudely.

"Levy McGarden." She crossed her arms over her chest as she said this. I looked her over. She wore a simple top and pants. She didn't seem happy about having to be at my door.

"What are ya doin' here?"

"Well I rode a bus to your school from mine and when you weren't there ready to go on the mission I was sent here." She turned from me. She was so small. I could squish this fairy easily but something about her stopped me from doing so. Her anger towards me was kind of cute just because it seemed like she was a nice girl.

"Alright, let's go then." I said pushing her forward and out of the way. I closed my door and locked it as she glared at me from the ground.

"Asshole." She mumbled getting up. I walked away and heard her soft footsteps behind me.
