LUCY's POV
People are very different. You have women, men, children, elders. But that's not what makes everyone different. It something else, something you can't describe in words. It's in actions. Every person has their own flow. Their own beat, their own voice. It's like a song. Every person has their own song, and own style. That is what make everyone different.
But what if someone has two songs? What if someone learns to be different? Is it even possible? Could it ever come true? Could a person change the way they are? Could they change their own song?
I let my fingers flow over the keys of the piano. Moving in the same rhythm, never breaking a note. Never clashing notes together. When I play the piano, I lose myself in the music. In the notes. Every note is a part in my life, and when you put it together into one piece it tells a story. The rhythm, the note, and the way you play it. It shows your true self. I let my hands Rome free over the keys. Losing myself the deeper I get into the song.
I've always played no matter what. For as long as I could remember. It's who I am. It's who I want to be. I love classical piano music. Not that I don't love all music, but there's something to classical music. Something that I do know how to describe. It reflects myself. The keys, the tempo, and the way it all fits together. I can't every stop myself.
I've always wanted to be the best. I know I will be. After all it's me. It's who I am. My dream is to reach up to Beethoven. To me he's the greatest. The way he plays, it shows how much he's done. How much he's been through. They say that everyone greatest pianist has the deepest and the wildest stories. That's what their piece's show. Every beat to them, is a part of their life. The whole piece is their life. When you play a piece by another pianist, you're playing there life. Your fingers are going through all there steps.
I listen hearing the keys, the rhythm coming together. I close my eyes listening to the story of Beethoven's life. I love his stories. I love his life. I talk a deep breath realizing that I'm coming to the end of the song. My fingers hitting the lower keys over and over again. Until the last note stops ringing.
Slowly lifting my finger up from the last key. It stopped ringing, but I can still here it echo through the room. The song might be over, but the story of his life will always go on. Because someone will always be playing his story, the story of his life.
"That was beautiful my dear." I turn around slowly. A women with long brown hair and beautiful huge brown eyes was standing right behind me. She wore a light flowy white dress, and black sandals. I smiled softly at her.
"Thank you, Lacy." Lacy Ashely was her name. I've known her my whole life. She was the women that took care of me my whole life, or at least as far as I remember.
"You know Lucy sweetheart, I believe that has been the best I've heard of you so far. What was the piece you were playing again?' She stated smiling. Lacy has always been supportive of me. She loves hearing me play. Ever since the first day I sat in front of a piano. But no one had ever taught me to play. I just sat down and started it.
"Fur Elise." I reply standing up. I glanced down at the piano smiling. I learned that piece years ago. But right now I just felt like playing it. I've known that piece since I was 5 or 6. That was 11 years ago. I'm 16 now.
"A Beethoven piece." I heard Lacy say. I kept smiling as I slowly slid my fingers over the keys one last time. I loved the feeling of my hands pressing against the keys. It makes me feel free, like I can fly. Knowing that my hands are controlling the notes, controlling the wave of sound. It's like my heart is flowing out into my hands, as there hitting the keys. Each note is a part of me. It's becoming my life.
"Are you ready?" I slowly looked over to Lacy. She was giving off a warm smile. A smile that I've known for many years. "For your first day at The Academy?" She asked me.
Academy. I wanted to go to Grand Musical Academy. The reason why is because they are a musical school. Everything about them is musical. It's weird going to a new school during the middle of first semester. But my dream lies there. My dream of making it. My dream of becoming the best.
"Yes,"

"Jeez I can't believe it's already senior year." A boy with raven hair stated. He had a white shirt, with a black jacket on the back that said 'Fairy Tail,' and long tight jeans with black boots.
"So is it any different from the last years?" A boy with pink hair stated. He wore a black vest that showed off all his abs, and muscles, with long black tight pants and a sliver chain hanging down his neck. His eyes popped out a lot though. It looked like he was wearing eye liner, but he wasn't.
"Well, Flame brain. Its senior year our last year together before college. But I doubt for you it's your last senior year in high school with the way your grades look." The raven harried boy shot back. It wasn't all that silent. But you could clearly hear the pink haired boy growl at that comment.
"You want to go Ice breath!" He yelled standing up getting ready to attack.
"Yeah let's g-!"
"I hope you two aren't FIGHTING!" A girl with long red hair stood up. She's had enough of this. There friends they aren't supposed to be fighting. They might act like they hate each other but they don't.
"Erza! Where not fighting were the best of friends!" They boys stated hugging each other tightly. You could hear the laughs of their friends. Some things never change.
"Good." Erza stated.
"Hey Erza did you hear about the new student were supposed to get today?" A girl with short blue hair stated. She was jumping up and down as she made her way into the classroom. She wore an orange tank top, and white jean shorts with her blue shoes.
"New student?" The red haired girl asked. "Where did you hear that from Levy?" She asked.
"Well, I was walking outside the main office, and I saw someone I never seen before. I also heard them talking about her schedule." Levy stated, taking her seat next to Erza.
"Shrimp is a stalker." A man with black hair stated. He wore a black rock shirt, and black pants. Levy glared at her boyfriend. He just smirked and chuckled.
"I am not Gajeel!" She stated yelling at him. He just kept smirking. You could hear the pink haired boy groan.
"Hey Erza, remember when we were in that stage?" A man with bright blue hair stated. He had on a white shirt with black pants. But what would catch everyone's eye is his red tattoo. But no one knew why he had it. You could see a blush start to form on Erza's face.
"Gee, why are you all so gross!" The pink haired boy groan setting his head down on the table. Watching all his friends be all lovely dovely is gross. He just wanted to smash his head against the wall.
"Well Natsu it happens when you love someone." Levy stated looked at the pink haired boy. They all looked at him, you could just hear him groan.
"It's stupid." Natsu stated.
"You shouldn't say that. It will happen to you someday." The man with the red tattoo stated. Natsu quickly snapped his head up.
"Like hell that will happen! I'm Natsu Dragneel!" He snapped. He will never ever fall in love. He's done it once, and it broke him. But not anymore, he doesn't love. He's a rock star, that's what he loves.

"Natsu I can't believe you got a detention again!" Erza stated for the seventh time that day. He sighed walking in front of the group.
"Gee, it's just a detention get over it. It's not like I killed someone." He stated. All he did was just talk back to the teacher. He doesn't really see it as a big deal at all. But hear are his friends acting like it's the end of the world.
"Natsu, you should really try in school, and not fall asleep, then yell at the teacher."
"Gee will you guys get off my back, you're not my parents." Natsu stated sighing. "Besides he shouldn't have splashed water on me. I was sleeping." He added. They all sighed realizing that they will get nowhere with this conversation.
"Whatever let's just get some practice in." Gajeel stated, holding Levy's hand.
They all walked down the hallway to the secret music room. It was a secret mainly because no one ever goes to that room. You have to basically go up to the roof of the school to get there. They always go up there every lunch hour to practice and have fun. It was there time. No one else but that group.
They stopped in their tracks when they saw one of their friends standing by the door into the room. She had her eye pressed against the door. She was trying to listen to something but what? Her long blue hair touching the door.
"Juvia? What are you do-?"
"Shh!" Juvia hissed. "Juvia hears someone playing the piano in here!" She whispered loudly.
"What?!" They all half yelled and whispered. Quickly they made their way over to the door, pressing there ear's against it. They could clearly hear a piano playing. But what caught them more off guard was that it was amazing to listen to.
The song was unbelievable. They never heard anyone in this school that could play that good.
"I know that song. It's Silence by Beethoven." Levy whispered trying to listen more.
"Beethoven? Really? No one at this school can even play the piano like this." Erza stated.
"That doesn't matter, what matters is that this person is in our music room." Gajeel hissed. They had to admit though, this person was good.
"Natsu what are you doing!" Levy shouted/whispered to him. Everyone looked to see Natsu slowly turning the door knob.
"I want to see who is playing." Natsu stated. He didn't like the fact that there was a stranger using there room. But he was more curious about who was play that song. He was completely ignoring his friends as he slowly turned the door knob. Opening up the door slowly, not to make a lot of noise.
There sat a girl with long blonde hair that reached to her lower back. She sat at on a bench as her hands moved around on the keys. She wore a pink flower dress that stopped right above her mid-thigh, with pink shoes and black knee high socks. What surprised them most off all was that her eyes were closed.
Her body would lean into the piano and out. It's like the music was flowing through her and out. The song never breaking a note, beat. How is she doing that good? She doesn't even look old enough to be a professional. But it sounds like Beethoven himself is playing it.
Natsu watched in shock. Just who is this person? But what caught him the most was the song. He loved it. She was beyond amazing. Every note hit him in the heart. He watched as her hands moved over the keys. She's not even looking down at the piano. Her eyes were closed.
Slowly you could hear the song start to die down, as the final ring of the note left. Silence filled the room. You could see the blonde breath in and out slowly. Every breath was like bringing her back to the world. Her mind slowly coming back into play. She opened her eyes. Looking down at the keys. She smiled. Gently touching them.
"Thank you," She whispered very quietly.
Everyone watched in silence. She slowly stood up grabbing her back and books from her side. Soon enough they all started to cheer and clap.
The blonde lifted her bag over her shoulder and grabbed her books. She was talking a step until she heard a bunch of noises going off. She jumped a bit, which caused her to trip backwards over the bench. It caused all her books fly everywhere, as she caused the bench to flip over with her. Making her land on her butt.
They watched it in slow motion. She jumped when she heard them, causing her trip and fall backwards. Her papers and books flying up and the air and landing all over the floor. As she landed on her butt.
"Shit are you okay?!" Natsu asked quickly walking over to her. As the other followed. He looked down at her. He couldn't help but blush a little. This girl was extremely cute. Her long blonde hair, her dress which was now up her legs even more because she fell. Her pink lips, thick eye lashes, huge brown eyes, huge chest, her legs looked really soft and creamy. Forget cute, she's extremely hot.
"Y-Yeah S-Sorry." She stated ever so quietly, as they slowly helped her back up. "I didn't mean to get in your way. Sorry. I just wanted to find somewhere to think." She stated looking at them.
"No it's are fault we should have knocked or something sorry." Erza stated looking at the blonde girl and bowing.
"Yeah what she said." Gray stated.
"Say, what's your name? Because we've never seen you around here before." Jellal stated. He watched as the blonde girl smiled softly.
"Well, I'm a new student here. Names Lucy. Lucy Ashely." She stated holding out her head towards Jellal. He smiled.
"Jellal Fernandes." He stated shaking her hand.
"Gray Fullbuster. Rock and roll god."
"Levy Mcgarden. But you can just call me Lev."
"Erza Scarlet. Nice to meet you."
"Juvia Lockser. Juvia is just letting you know that Gray-Sama is mine."
"Gajeel Redfox." Lucy finally turned to the pink haired boy. He just started at her. It was like their eyes were locked.
"Natsu Dragneel." Lucy smiled.
"Nice to meet you Natsu." She stated holding her hand out towards him. He slowly started to smile. He took her hand in his. It felt right to him.
