{AU}Dragon Slayer Family's high school adventure!

Artisitic Opportunities

{Gajeel's point of view:}

"HAHAHAHAHA THAT'S HAHA THAT'S HILARIOUS!" I exclaimed unable to control my fit of laughter. Myself, Salamander and the little girl decided to see Laxus at his new job in Aunty Gradine's coffee and desert place. My day was made when I saw Laxus in a waiter shirt, it looked absolutely ridiculous on him.
"Quit your laughing or I'll put you in a waiter costume." Laxus replied annoyed.
"Gihee, I'd never make the mistake of wearing that!" I pointed at Laxus, causing him to glare at me annoyed.
"He does have a point though, that things horrible but I guess that explains why your wearing it Laxus." Natsu replied jokingly, causing us both to laugh even louder as Laxus just rolled his eyes at the two of us.
"Haha very funny." He responded, grumbling in annoyance, well that's what he gets for teasing and annoying us in the past.
"Well I think it suits you." Wendy said trying to be kind although you could tell by her facial expression that she was trying her best to hold in her laughter to.
"Really kid because your face tells me otherwise. At least you two could've had the decency to try and hold in your laughter." Laxus exclaimed pointing at me and Natsu.
"Oh please if we were in your position you'd be laughing at us." Natsu said, and he did speak the honest truth.
"Look shouldn't you all be heading to school now anyway, I have to get on with work so quit bothering me." Laxus told us, before walking off.
"Well I guess we better get going then, come on you two idiots we can tease Laxus about his maid costume later gihee." I joked, as we headed out the work place.
"But I wasn't teasing him." Wendy replied offended.

{Rogue's point of view:}

I walked into my art class just as the bell went, taking a seat near my best friend Yukino. It's funny how that turned out, me Sting and our other friend Minerva, we used to bully her all the time in are younger years, but we've changed from then, and Yukino forgave us and accepted our apologies and now all four of us are the greatest of friends. Speaking of, Minerva also strolled in, slightly late as usual and took a seat next to Yukino. Luckily for us our teacher was kind and let us sit wherever we wanted, it just made art that more enjoyable.
"Hey Rogue, Yukino, how are you?" Minerva asked.
"Good." I replied casually.
"I'm great, thanks for asking, you?" Yukino replied with her usual cheery attitude.
"I'm doing good myself." Yukino then turned around to face me.
"How's Sting doing?" She asked with worry.
"Don't worry Yukino, he's feeling much better I promise." I replied reassuringly, causing her to let out a sigh of relief. I'd say she worries to much, but that would be hypocritical coming from me.
"Everyone may I have your attention, I have a big announcement to reveal!" My teacher exclaimed, gaining everyone's attention and interest.
"Now as you know you are all in your last year of highschool and afterwards you'll be moving to University's or getting jobs and apprenticeships. Therefore the famous international RiverLane Art University, is organising a project where from each school, students will compete to create a piece of art, and whoever has the best piece of art in each class will get a chance of being accepted into this University." My eyes widened in excitement and shock at the announcement. That university has been my dream my entire life, and I have finally get to chance to possible join the RiverLane Art University! Although what was I going to paint? It can't just be anything it has to be something unique!

{Wendy's point of view:}

I was walking down the school hallway, ready to head to my next class, when I was suddenly pushed harshly into one of the school lockers. I looked up worryingly to see Nicole and her two friends Paris and Brittany, glaring at me despitefully. I felt so tiny and weak compared to the three of them, like an ant...although that might just be my height, after all I am very small. I wish I could be taller, especially right now.
"So I heard that you went to Romeo's house yesterday?" Nicole asked, and I could already hear the hatred and anger in her voice, causing me to look away shyly.
"Well did you!?"She shouted intimidatingly.
"W-Well I d-did, but it was only for a school project-"
"Don't give me that bullshit you just wanted to get all close to him didn't you? How disgusting!" Nicole replied. I didn't mean it to come across that way, but is that how people are thinking about me?

"I mean honestly how do you expect Romeo to fall for an ugly flat chested girl like yourself!" Paris claimed, pointing directly towards my chest causing me to blush in embarrassment and shame.
"She's as flat as a piece of paper, I mean it's not like you have anything else about your looks going for you, everything about you makes me want to puke." Brittany insulted, causing the three of them to burst out in laughter.
"Especially her voice." Paris added on, and that hurt the most. I couldn't help the tears forming in my eyes, as my body started to tremble. They were right my voice was horrible! Everything about me is horrible!
"Are you crying? Honestly how pathetic and weak can you get?!" Nicole carelessly mocked.
"She's such a loser!"
"No wonder her brothers are protective over her, they know that nobody would want to be friends with her!" Nicole's friends joked, before Nicole herself seriously took one more step forward.
"Listen up Wendy, you need to stay away from Romeo, he's mine! Also you may as well give up on that music competition your singing is horrible, only real talent like the three of us could win!" Nicole snapped meanly, before strutting of with Paris and Brittany closely following her. Maybe they were right... no they were right, I'll never stand a chance at winning that competition!

{Cobra's point of view:}

I was told that tomorrow I could leave this stupid place, honestly the alleyway I live in is more entertaining then this place. I mean sure I have Sting as company but there's only so much happy joyful attitude I can take from someone. Even if he was my frie-acquaintance.
"Hello." Kinanna the purple haired nurse greeted walking up to me, with the same trolley of drinks.
"I'm guessing your having water again?" She asked knowing what I usually asked for.
"Yeah." I replied quietly, leaving us in this familiar silence.
"You know, you could have another drink for once, besides alcohol and your new addiction to water I'll make sure to tell the nurses to keep on eye on that." Kinanna joked.
"You don't seem like the type of person to use sass." I joked, causing her to giggle and smile.
"I don't usually but you don't seem like the type of person to care if I use it or not." She replied in an almost teasing tone.
"Fair enough. But I'm still going to stick with water for now." I told her, as she handed me a glass of cool ice water.
"Well I suppose I can't complain, water is healthy for you. Oh you seem to have a visitor."

When she said this I turned around to see Gradine walking up to us.
"Oh sorry I wasn't interrupted anything was I?" She asked politely.
"O-Oh no miss. I was just handing the drinks out. I have to go now anyway, bye Cobra." She says, walking me goodbye.
"I didn't know you got yourself a girlfriend." Grandine replied teasingly.
"Hahaha very funny. Now can you get to the point when you tell me why your here?" I asked curiously, knowing she was here for something considering the fact that neither Wendy or Natsu or Gajeel or all three of them were here with her.
"Well I know you've declined in the past, but I'm here to offer you a job at my place, my oldest son Laxus just joined and he could really do with some help, and you could really do with a job, I'm offering you a free job anyone who didn't have a home would take that, after all you could buy your own one day." Grandine told me sweetly and in a motherly tone.

"I appreciate it Mrs Dragneel, but even if I did buy a home I have no one to come home to, or any family to visit me." I replied covering up the loneliness in my voice, I'm not a very open person about my feelings.
"Well that's why you go out there and find people that care for you, just like how you found all of us, you might not have any family to go to, but you have us, I know Wendy and Natsu consider you family. You seem to have given up on life Cobra but you need to make the most of it. Also remember that other people don't get the opportunity your being given." Gradine reasoned politely.
"I think you should go for it." Sting exclaimed, walking into the room,
"And I thought you weren't allowed outside your room?" I questioned confused. Sting grinned placing two arms behind his head.
"Well they said I seem better today so they let me off. But that's off topic, you should definitely take this job, come on it'll be fun, and besides it sounds better then living on the streets." Sting pointed out, and I suppose he did have a point, but while it may not have been the most pleasant living on the streets, at least I had my freedom and I wasn't restricted by things I could do because apart from Wendy's family, no one really cares about what I do or did. But I know that their family would want me to do this, also living under a roof would be much better then living under nothing at all.
"Alright fine, I'll take the job."
