Hi hi! So I have just been having these non-stop ideas pouring out of my finger tips! I don't even actually have time to be writing this... I have like 30 pound of hmwk to do... But here I am! Freaking out... I am actually shaking my leg because I have to get this idea on paper a.s.a.p! I don't even know why! It might not even be that great! This on isn't a songfic but there will be singing in it. Sorry in advance if I have spelling mistakes... My computer is on French so my keyboard is all screwy...
Lucy: So I get to sing in this one?
Fairy: ... Maybe...
Natsu: -munching on fire chicken-
Happy: -chewing on fish-
Mira: -whispering- shipshipshipshipshipshipshipshipshipshipshipshipship...
Fairy: Um... Okay... Let's get started...
Btw: when the words are in italics ie, hello there! It's a song being sung or a title of a song. 'these are thoughts.' "And this is when someone is talking" * This is an action poke *
Lucy: Another btw! If it says like pause or wait just imagine an old film roll stopping like in "The Emperors New Groove" and a little me popping up and explaining some stuffs to chu!
Lucy's P.O.V
"Making my way down town walking..." My voice echoed through my large room as I slowly got dressed. I slipped on a tee shirt and glanced in the mirror. 'Ugh... I look gross.' My eyes were drooping in exhaustion from staying up late writing last night, my cheeks looked swollen from where my father had stuck me, my bottom lip had split and bled through the night. My arms had bruises and I had a black eye. 'I need to fix this.' I walked over to my bathroom, limping a little, grabbed my makeup and got to work on the mess that was my face.
OKAY PAUSE PEOPLE! I have to clarify somethings first.
Now I know what you are thinking. 'Oh no that poor girl!' Or 'She must have horrid parents.' And my personal favourite, 'She should break up with her boyfriend.' So for starters, I hate pity. Do not for the holy lord's sake pity me because I will hurt you. It's one of the reasons no one knows about this. Second, I only have my dad. Sure he can be a bit abusive and cruel and hurtful but he's all I've got. And last. I am as single as a dying man in the desert after his heart stops.
Now that we have that straightened out lets get back to the story.
I finished covering up the black eye and I used my swollen cheeks to my own advantage by coating them lightly with the blush I didn't need. I found that I had huge bags under my eyes and covered those up too. I stared at the harsh purple bruises still in the midst of forming on my arm and elected to not cover them up since I wear a sweater all day anyways.
I stared in the mirror and practised not wincing when someone touched my bruises. Then I practised my smile until I was able to seem as happy as a rich girl starting in a new school should be. Today, my first day at a new school, would go perfectly.
I grabbed up my school binders, and the current book I was reading, then shoved them into the bag I had been given the other day. It was a bland pinkish colour. 'Salmon.' I decided that it was most definitely salmon. I slung it over my right shoulder and then, as quietly as I could, pushed open the door. I grimaced as it creaked noisily. I squeezed my eyes shut and held my breath hoping it wouldn't wake my father. I waited a minute. Two minutes. Nothing. I peeked out of one eye to find an empty hall. I let out the breath I had been holding silently and then proceeded to tip toe down the hall. When I passed his room I noticed his door was shut tightly. 'He must have went to bed early.'
When I finally made it into the kitchen I shushed the maids and shooed them away with a genuine smile. They all waved and went to do other things in the house while I made a breakfast that I could eat at the bus stop. I grabbed the peanut butter then the bread and jam. I quickly threw together a sandwich, peanut butter on one side of both slices and jam only on one. I put everything away then took one last look around to make sure I had cleaned up.
WAIT AGAIN! I need to explain what it looks like!
My kitchen was rectangular. It had two entrances. One from the stairs leading to the second floor (On the right) and one from the living room(The front). Cupboards lined the left and backside of the kitchen. The stove was underneath the third cupboard from the left and had above it a microwave which, in turn, had above it the tiny third cupboard. The dish washer was on the back wall close to the stove and the sink was above it to the right. It was an expensive kitchen. The counter tops were granite and the nob on each cupboard were crystal. The cupboards were a nice oak and the appliances were steel. Um... I think I'm done... Okay continue.
I hurried through the kitchen, then the living room, which was pretty normal, and dashed out the front door with my teeth hanging on desperately to my breakfast. I ran the whole way to the bus stop where I would be taking a designated city bus to my new school. Weird right, but that's how it was.
I checked my phone quickly and realized that I was a couple of minutes early, giving me enough time to pull out my aqua earphones and turn on some music. I slid only the right earphone in and shuffled through my music before finding the song I was looking for. I clicked it and started singing along to A Thousand Years By Christina Perri.
"Heart. Beats. Fast. Colours and Pro-mis-ses. How to be brave..." I stopped singing along as I heard the bus screech to a halt at the stop before mine. It wasn't too far away but I immediately swung my bag around and pulled out my pre-paid bus pass from the smallest pocket in the front. I quickly zipped up said pocket and repositioned my backpack on both shoulders as the bus came around the corner.
I smiled shyly as the bus driver opened the door. He gave me a kind wink as I held out my pass for him to see. I then turned to find a seat. Most were filled but I managed to spot one beside a pretty blue haired girl who was reading with her earphones in. As I approached her I noticed she happened to be reading the book I was. I giggled a little then sat down and nudged her as I pulled out my own copy of Origin. She grinned at me and pulled out one earphone. "I see you like Jennifer L. Armentrout too!" I hugged the book to my chest and sighed. "Like doesn't even begin to cover it." My dreamy tone had her in a fit of giggles so I slid my gaze over to her and smiled. "I'm Lucy Hearrrssssfeo Heartstar." That was way to close. She rose an eye brow at my oddness and then offered her hand. "I'm Levy McGarden! Nice to meet you Lucy Heartstar." I let out a breath as I shook her hand.
TIME OUT AGAIN! More explaining
So the reason I lied about my last name? Easy. I don't want fake friends. Plus I would probably get in with the wrong people if the students at my new school heard I was rich. It happened at the other ones. I went to plenty of schools. Private, public, Catholic, you name it. It had nothing to do with the schools themselves but rather the people in them. I had teachers wanting to get in good graces with my father, students asking me for money or better, having me buy them stuff. I was actually all alone. I didn't have any friends. Anyways! Back to the story!
Levy asked how far I had gotten into the book and I told her I was over 3 quarters done. She glared at me with mock jealousy and asked how I could read so fast. I shrugged. "Practice I guess." I had spent a lot of my life reading. I had lived in a strict house hold from the time I was born but my mother's death only worsened the environment. I read because it was the only adventures I dared to live through. The only ones, I figured, I would ever experience.
Levy snapped her fingers in front of my face. "Hey Lucy? You okay?" Concern lit her eyes and I rushed to reassure her. "Yeah just a bit nervous since it's my first day." She nodded understandingly. We slipped into a comfortable silence, reading our books. When my song ended I put my playlist on shuffle and put my phone into the pocket of my jeans to listen to on the way.
It was about twenty minutes from then until we arrived at the school. The bus pulled up in front of it and we all stepped out. I stood aside for a second to admire the view. The school was huge but most schools are. It wasn't very amazing but it looked almost homey. Friendly even. It stood out but not like an IN YOUR FACE way. More like a secretly special. God that sounds mushy.
I hurried inside and looked to my left. The office was right there. 'Huh... How convenient.' I pushed open the door and walked over to the front desk. There was a woman with snow white hair sitting in the chair spinning herself around giggling. I cleared my throat nervously and she jerked her head in my direction. She blinked at me once then pulled herself up to her desk, her cheeks glowing. "U-um yes? How may I help you?" I introduced myself as the new student Lucy Heartstar and she smiled. "Nice to meet you Lucy.! Welcome to Fairy High. I'm Mirajane but you can call me Mira!" Her bright tone relaxed me and I politely asked for a map of the school and my class schedule. She nodded and opened the desk drawer to her right and pulled out two sheets of paper. "I had a feeling you would need the map." She winked and I blushed embarrassed. "Thanks." I waved good bye and headed back out the doors, glancing at the map she had handed me. 'First period is Drama. Okay.' I looked at my schedule to see which room drama would be in and then at the map. I followed the map to room 143 and stopped just out side in front of the door. "Okay. Here goes." I turned the handle and pushed open the door that would lead me to my new life.
Well apparently my new life was a total zoo. There was paper flying everywhere, the teacher was asleep, students having fights to the death, spit balls being exchanged, it was an all out catastrophe. I even saw a red headed girl beating up two boys who had previously been fighting. I stood there, eyes bulging jaw on the floor. 'WHAT IS GOING ON?!'
Suddenly a seriously short man with an interesting out fit jumped on the teacher's desk. He balled his tiny hands into fists and opened his mouth. What came out was unexpected. It was THE LOUDEST FUCKING YELL I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE.
Everyone froze in their place. He sighed heavily and shook his heads. "Haven't I told you brats to keep it down?!" Everyone unfroze and stood at full attention, listening intently. I think my jaw dropped past the floor and into the underworld or something. The teacher had woken up and was currently rubbing his eyes. "Oh hey headmaster." 'HEADMASTER?! WHAT THIS LITTLE DUDE?!' I snorted quietly but one person seemed to have heard it. A boy with pink hair turned my way and scowled rudely. I glared back.
For the first time since he got here the headmaster seemed to notice me. His face lit up and he stepped forward to introduce me to my Drama class. "Everyone this is..." I smiled sweetly and step forward. "I'm Lucy Heartstar. It's nice to meet you all." Out o the corner of my eye, I noticed Pinky raise a brow. I clenched my teeth but held my smile in place as I took the empty spot next to the currently seated red haired girl from earlier. She turned and smiled as I sat. "Hi I'm Erza. Nice to meet you Lucy."She formally held out her hand and I grasped it lightly. She shook twice then let go and turned back to the teacher.
"Okay class. We are going to play a game since we have a new student. You will stand and say your full name, favourite colour, aaaaand... Your age I guess." The teacher stood and I got a better look at him. He was tall and well built. He had an orangy red beard that matched his hair and a seriously lazy look in his eyes. He pointed at a boy with golden hair to start. He stood and cleared his throat. "My name is Loke Celestial. My favourite colour is orange. I am 15 years old."
The girl behind him went next. "I am Cana Alberona. My favourite colour is whiskey brown. I'm 15." "I am Gray Fullbuster. My favourite colour is dark blue. I am 15." A small voice piped up next. "I am Wendy Marvell. My favourite colour is indigo. I am 13." She quickly sat down. "I am Lisanna Strauss. My favourite colour is green. I am 15." Next up was Pinky... "I'm Natsu Dragneel, my favrit colour is red nd I'm 15." He murmured his words as if he couldn't care less! "I am Gajeel Redfox. I like the colour grey 'nd I'm 15."
It continued on like that for a while. I had 21 classmates. All except Wendy and Romeo were 15. The girl I sat next to was Erza. She had stood up and done the most formal introduction I could think of and sat down hastily. She also blushed when a student named Jellal had his turn. I smirked slyly and slid my gaze over to her, nudging her elbow. She scowled at me but the blush made her seems as harmless as a fluff. I turned my head grinning when Pin- Natsu caught my attention again. He narrowed his eyes as if annoyed by my very presence. I rose my eye brow and squinted my eyes in confusion. 'What did I do to tick him off...' He rolled his eyes and looked away. I huffed and pulled out my book from my bag. Setting it down on the desk I opened it to the last page I was on and lost myself in the world of Luxen.
"Lucy? I asked you for one of the reasons the ancient Greeks began playmaking." I barely glanced up. "It was derived off of the worshipping of the gods." I looked back down to my book ignoring the stares of surprise and awe that were directed towards me. Even Mr. Gildarts or Clive, as I soon found out, had his impressed gaze trained on me. Everyone except Pinky.

After Drama I had English. On my way I bumped into Levy. She grinned and helped me find my way to the class. When we finally made it there we raced in and sat down in seats beside each other giggling foolishly. I felt a tap on the back of my right shoulder and I turned around, still smiling from Levy's goofiness, and I came face to face with my least favourite person so far. "Could you please shut it?" My smile vanished. "Could you please stop existing?" I turned back to Levy and tried to start a conversation. I felt something poke my back. I turned around and saw Natsu holding a pen. I narrowed my eyes then froze for a second. 'Didn't Daemon do this exact thing to Kat? Well this is different cause we sure as hell aren't falling in love.' I glared at him then turned around once more. I felt another poke. I ignored it. Another. Ignored. Another. Ignored.
This continued for about another two minutes before I turned around and smacked him upside the head. "What the hell do you want?!" He rubbed his head and glared at me. "Stop existing." I scoffed. "What? No god insult so you had to steal my own?" He sneered and then started writing. I sighed and turned around hoping that was the end of that.
'Grrrr...' * Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. * "WHAT?!" I kept my voice low but it was still pretty loud in the silent classroom. The teacher still hadn't shown and students were getting antsy. "Go back to where you came from." I gritted my teeth and rolled my eyes breathing in and out so I wouldn't punch him square in the face. "I can't. Now shut up and leave me the hell ALLLLOOOOOONE." I whipped around to the front and turned to Levy. She had her hand covering her mouth as she tried and failed to suppress giggles. I glared at her and she gulped. "I'm sorry... It's just... You guys are acting like 5 year olds..." I rolled my eyes and laughed humorlessly at her comment. * Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. * "Okay that's it." I spun around and grabbed his pen. "I am going to break this if you continue the incessant poking!" He just stared at me, bored. I huffed annoyed and faced the front of the room once more. * Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. * "WILL YOU PLEASE STOP POKING ME." I turned around to find him with an all new pen. "Just leave me alone. Please." I sighed in defeat and watched as a bemused smile spread across his annoying face. "No." * Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. * I groaned in exasperation and shuffled my seat as far forward as it could get. I dropped my head onto my desk hoping that would stop him.
But wait. * Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke PokePokePokePokePokePokePokePokePokePokePoke. I rubbed my temples. 'This is going to be a loooong 75 minutes.'
FTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFT 75 mins later
The bell rung obnoxiously loud and I stood quickly from my seat and rushed out. The teacher had never shown and we had a free period but Natsu nor I would leave. Levy quickly caught up with me in the halls. "Hey! What's with you and Natsu?" I shrugged. "Never met him. He just hates me." We walked into the cafeteria and she led me to a table filled with familiar faces, Erza, Gray, Jellal. And ones that weren't so familiar like Juvia. I was introduced to the girl who spoke third person and accused me of being her love rival. To Elfman who had an obsession with the word man. Lastly to Laxus and his gang all of which ignored my presence completely. I shrugged it off and moved to the last familiar face and groaned unhappily. Natsu sat across the table from me, earphones in and shovelling food into his mouth, unaware of anyone or anything around him. I excused myself saying that I would be going out for lunch since, as high school student, we were allowed off the grounds during our lunch break. I trotted outside and down the street to a subway. I entered, ordered and left. I walked back slowly though. Taking my time while munching on the cookie I bought. I was lost in thought and bumped into someone, knocking what they had in their hands onto the ground. "Oh I'm so sorry!" I bent and picked up the books they had dropped then stood to return them. I didn't see who it was because they had a hood covering their face but they grunted their thanks and moved along. I made a face. 'Well that was odd'
By the time I made it back to school lunch was half over. I strolled my way over to the table I was sitting at before, which was now empty, and plopped down. I opened the subway bag and pulled out my sandwich. I mentally drooled and dug in like a savage beast. I relished in the explosion of flavours that filled my mouth as I chowed down on the delicious sub. I pulled out Origin and because reading once again.
I happily had finished my book and my sandwich at the end of lunch. I threw away my garbage and then stuck my book inside my bag. I then took out my map and class schedule which I had stuffed inside and proceeded to sling my bag over my shoulder. 'Next is... Math.' I followed the map to room 215 and opened the door to an empty class. I checked the door but it was still 215. It seemed pretty empty around here. I looked down all the halls and stuff and found that it was empty everywhere. "Was it a half day? Did I miss something..." I went to the office and found out indeed it was a half day. I shrugged and waved at Mira before leaving the school. I knew the route home but I figured it was time to get to know the city I would be living in.
'Get to know the city I'd be living in. Forget that!' It had started pouring when I began to explore. I was in the midst of trudging my way home. I spotted a store and made a bee-line for the door. Once inside I took a deep breath and walked over to the counter. "Hey do you know when this storm is going to stop." I didn't look at the employe, instead I focused on the horrid storm outsi- * Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. * 'Oh no... Oh no no no no no no no NO.' I slowly turned to face the person behind the counter. Pink hair and the most annoying grin I had ever seen. I cursed under my breath but sighed and pinned him with a look. "Do you have any idea when this is going to blow over?" He snickered and I about socked him. "They're saying it might be a few hours. It'll die down enough for you to get home safely soon though." I glanced upwards and into his eyes. A small fire of concern had ignited but I figured it was just human concern for someone in his classes.
I furrowed my brow when I saw someone familiar at the doors. 'The guy I bumped into at lunch...' I looked back at Natsu. "Hey can I use your employe door?" He rose an eye brow but let me behind the counter and into the back. "See you around then. Be careful, it's still pretty bad out there." I nodded and opened the door which led into a back alley way. I turned back to thank Natsu but he was gone already. I let the door close behind me and started walking up the alley towards the street.
I had made it about half way when I saw my lunch time friend. I pulled up the hood of my sweater and hoped to make it past him. Instead I bumped into him (I decided it was a he for now) again. I mumbled a quick sorry and went to step past him. His arm suddenly shot our from his sweater pocket and he wrapped it around my neck. I went for a kick to the * ahem * but his other hand stopped my foot. That hadn't been my only target though, I balled my hand up into a fist and pretended to strike at his stomach while my palm went to drive his nose into his brain. He turned his face so I only hit his cheek. He grunted quietly in pain but instead of letting go his grip tightened. He used his other hand to grab both of my wrists. 'Okay now is the time to scream.' I opened my mouth to let out a piercing screech but was interrupted by my amusement at my hooded buddy getting a fist in the face, curtsey of my least favourite classmate.
My attacker stumbled backwards but regained his ground. It looked like he was about to come at me again but Natsu planted himself firmly in front of my and let out a low, animalistic, growl the resonated through my entire being. 'I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that growl. It made me shiver.
Apparently buddy decided the same thing. He took off out of the alley way and Natsu relaxed his stance. I let out the breath I hadn't realized I was holding. It was quiet for a few seconds until I spoke up. "Um, thanks for saving me." His back stiffened and he turned around with a strained expression. "Don't mention it." I looked at him concerned. "You okay?" He nodded briskly and then stiffly walked over to the half open employe door. "I have to get back to my shift." I was about to answer when he shut the door abruptly and literally, in my face.
I turned my brain off and started heading home. I didn't want to think about what'd just happened at the moment. The storm had let up a little so I jogged the rest of the way home.
When I got inside I went through the motions. I put my bag away. I went up to my room. I undressed. I got in the shower. I warmed up. I got out. I changed into my pjs. I sat down on my bed. I pulled out my laptop.
While it was powering up I finally let myself think again. 'WHAT THE HELL WAS ALL OF THAT?'
Hi hi! So that was the first chapter of my third fanfic! What's going on? Who was it that attacked her? Why does Natsu hate her? Why is he poking her in the back with a pen?
