Pretending It's Okay
Prologue Part 1 : Her Story
TRUE LOVE
Does not come by finding the perfect person, but be learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
Lucy Heartfilia. A teen and student from Fairy Tail Academy. She lived happily ever after!
Oh, who am I kidding? She lived in a miserable life. Her mother passed away by the time she was 6. Her father abused her, since she looked like her mother.
She was sad. Really sad. She looked happy in school, but outside, the only thing she'll do is cry, cry herself a river. Nobody suspected, since she doesn't really have any friends. Sure she talks with a few people once or twice, but that's all. Not much of talker.
But one thing for sure, she was mysterious. And people didn't dare to take that away from her, that's why people never talk to her. But she didn't mind, you know why? Because her mother told her something. Somethings she'll remember, forever...
"Lucy, dear... Listen to me... Before I go away, promise that you will do this for me..." Her mother said.
"Yes? Mama...?" Her 6 year old self asked.
"I need you to smile. When your sad, happy, or even mad... Who knows? Maybe tomorrow will be your last day... So smile... For me..." And with that, her mother died.
Lucy woke up, startled.
"I had that dream... Again..." Lucy murmured as she rubbed her eyes.
She looked over at her side. "6:30 A.M..."
She got up. It was Friday, thank goodness. Her last day of faking her smile.
About 20 minutes later...
Lucy found herself, eating a granola bar, yet, walking to school. It was already 7:00 and she doesn't want to be late, for the 4th time this week.
She kept having her dream. Her mothers dream, the one who told her to smile. But she never did, no matter how much she tried.
As she was walking, crusin', actually. Some girls from school, kept whispering and pointing at her. But she didn't mind. Everyone does that to her, well, expect for the "cool guys".
"Cool guys"
The "cool guys", consist of 8 members.
Their not only popular because of their looks, because their actually nice.
I know right, crazy! Popular people? Nice?
That's one strange combination, specially for Fairy Tail Academy.
The only people she actually says "hi" to, are them. She trusts them, for some unknown reason. But a downer is that only Mira, Levy and Wendy notice her when she says hi to them. It isn't her fault, to be honest with you, she talks soft.
She made it to school, with out getting mocked at. You can say, she's easy to pick on, which, a lot of people don't want to be. She entered the school, with a fake smile plastered in her face. She passed a few people she k owns from class.
"Hey... Mira..." She says quietly.
Mira turns around. "Huh? Oh! Good mornin', Lucy!" She says as she waves
Off she goes to History Class, or, the most boring class in her schedule, but still, she found it interesting, learning about things in that happened around 1000 years ago...
As she was gonna take her seat someone stepped on her, making her stop, and letting the person seat on her seat.
"Ugh... Sorry, but like, could we change seats? I wanna talk with my friend..." A raven hair guy says, looking quite annoyed.
She stops, and looks at who seats next to her, Natsu Dragneel, and Loke Celestial. She could totally see what he was saying, so she didn't protest, and only nod.
She shuffled down to the far corner of the classroom, all eyes on her, and she hated it. She didn't like how she was being stared at. She only gave a small smile, but in the inside, she was screaming, screaming from frustration.
Even if she sat in the back of the room, she could hear Gray chuckled, in her seat.
Suddenly, a group of 3 people, consists of Mirajane, Natsu, and Levy, they were all greeted by warm smiles, not like her, only cold glares.
Mira then looks at Gray. She wrinkles her nose, and looks at Grays previous seat.
"Hey, Gray. Isn't this Lucy's seat?" She asks
"Who? Oh, you mean her?" He points at Lucy's direction.
"Ugh, she has a name by the way!" Levy cries.
"So? Nobody knows her deal anyway," He says. Their could be heard a few laughs.
"Why don't you keep quiet and skedaddle back to your seat? Or are we gonna have some problems?" Mira says, cracking her knuckles. Lucy smiled at her.
"Yeah right! Ask her," he says, making no eye contact to her.
Mira turns to me. "Are you fine with him seating in your seat?"
I nodded. "S-sure..."
Gray scoffs. "See? Blondie over there is fine with," Gray looks down at her seat, "this."
Levy shook her head. "She has a name!"
He only scoffed in return.
She grabbed the book from her backpack, called "Looking For Alaska", by John Green.
Suddenly, a hands smacked her mew seat, looking up, she's really close, to the one and only, "Natsu Dragneel".
"H-h-huh...?" She asks, a cold shiver sent down to her spine.
"Hey, sorry for my "friend" over ther, he can be really annoying, if you know what I mean," Natsu explains.
Lucy nodded, in confusion.
"Anyway, I just wanted to apologize," he says as he goes back to his seat.
Lucy flushed. Never has she ever been that close to somebody else. She hides her face inside of her book, making sure nobody could see her face. Still, she could hear some snickers around the class, making her "condition", worse.
Last period...
It was the last period, or class for the blonde, which she was so thankful for.
School passed by a breeze.
As the bell rang, she could see the same girls she saw in the morning, talking about her. She stayed in the classroom for a bit, curios about what they were talking about.
"I can't believe Natsu did that! He doesn't deserve a slut like her!" Girl number 1 whispered loudly, pointing at Lucy.
"Yeah, totally! Maybe she could kill herself! Earth doesn't need her!" Girl number 3 squeaks.
"Totally, she's also a total loser," girl number 2 speaks.
Lucy ears began to wiggle, all those things she just heard, where they trying to do it on purpose?
She grabbed her bags, tears in her eyes. She could hear the girls talking about her, laughing.
She ran all the way. As she headed for the door, it started to rain, not little rain, but pouring rain, but she didn't care, cause all she wanted to do, is cry herself a river.
She ran to the park, the only place it made her relax, the place where she had picnics with her mom. She slipped a bit times, but she made it through.
By the time she made it to the park, she was soaked. She didn't care though.
She was severely close to the river, where she cried. She gets up, but she slipped, making her fall, into the pouring river.
She didn't try to swim, she stayed there. Smiled, and closed her eyes. She wanted to be with her mother, who was waiting for her...
