Chapter 1 – A new life

Lucy woke up when her head bumped slightly against the window. Her father didn't has the habit to drive careful. Miranda also didn't pay any attention to the girl in the back who actually wanted to sleep. She had the radio turned on, full power.

Lucy groaned and let herself fall back against her seat. They had been driving for hours now. Lucy was sick of it. She just wanted to arrive at her new 'home'. But moving from the west coast to Mississippi would take a bit.

Sighing the blonde teenager looked out of the window. They now crossed the border to Mississippi. Actually Lucy always loved the states on the east side more than on the west but she grew up in the west. Together with her real mother, Layla, she had a happy life. A life without problems. But now, after her mother died, everything changed.

She hated her father what he did. And now she had to move with him and his new wife to Oakland in Mississippi. A little town with a mere 530 inhabitants. Great... The girl thought sighing. The rest of her life would be so boring.

–-o.O.o-

Her father parked the car on their new drive. Their new house wasn't as big as their old one in Oakland but still big. What an ironic thing to say, that they moved from Oakland to Oakland. Her father tried to cheer her up with that but Lucy wasn't a child anymore and her new Oakland was all the way different from her old Oakland.

The town was so small that she guessed at the end of the month she would probably know every single person who lived here. She was happy that the town had a High school and a College. But that didn't really make it better. When she finished High school she would go to a College in New York, if her father accepted that or not didn't matter to her.

The only positive thing with the College here was that there would be probably cute guys. Lucy took her suitcase out of the car and entered the house. It wasn't bad, really. Stairs guided you to the big door and the hall inside was also very big, with already some couches and tables inside. The teen walked up the stairs to the second floor, passing the new living room and bedroom of her father and Miranda. Then she reached her room.

It wasn't really that special. It was big, no question, and had a balcony. The windows were so big that they reached down to the ground. In the center stood her bed from her old home. Lucy fell onto it and sighed heavily and contently. At least I could take you with me!

Lucy took a shower in her own bathroom and then dressed. A cute blue dress which reached down to her middle tights. Then she ran downstairs.

–-o.O.o-

''Where do you think you are going Lucy?'' The voice of her father appeared behind her. She groaned in annoyance, knowing very well that she had to help carry all the things from the car into the house.

''Well, since I don't have to go to school for the next days I thought I could explore the town a bit.''

Judo looked at her a bit confused. ''Do you really think you can explore here something?''

The girl rolled her eyes. ''Remember that you wanted to move here, not me!'' She turned on her heel. ''So I will make the best out of this situation and explore this town!''

''Lucy!'' But she already left the drive. She wanted to avoid Miranda and walk around the car but it didn't work.

''Going somewhere?''

''None of your business.'' Lucy crossed the street and walked in direction center.

''Don't come back to late! We're eating dinner together today.'' Lucy sighed again.

''Yes, mom.'' And then she turned around a corner.

When she reached a little park she sat down on a bench and let the sun warm up her skin. Actually Lucy loved the silence which lingered in this town. With this little of people there shouldn't be many cars. She scanned the area. On the one side of the street was a little supermarket, she guessed the only one in town. Next to it a bed and breakfast hotel.

When she turned around she saw a gas station, next to it a bar. The street parted at the end of the park, one path following down to the High school and College the other one to one of the many Highways. That this little town had a College, Lucy didn't think at first but maybe it was just a little one.

Lucy heard the sound of a ball hitting the ground, often in a specific rhythm. She stood up and followed the sound. Further down in the park was a little basketball field with one basket. There were two boys playing. One with blond and the other one with black hair.

When the one boy wanted to pass the ball to the one with the blond hair it passed him and rolled down the street, coming to a stop in front of Lucy. She gently lifted it off the ground, the boy with the blond hair now standing in front of her. ''Thanks!'' Lucy handed him the ball and smiled bit shyly. She had some problems talking to people she didn't know.

''Are you new here?'' Now the other boy also stood in front of her. ''Or just someone who sleeps here one night and then moves on?'' The guy with the blond hair laughed a bit. ''Excuse my brother... He has no manners.'' Again Lucy only smiled a bit, shifting uncomfortably on her feet.

''I am Sting'', the one with the blond hair said. ''And this is my brother Rogue.'' Rogue smiled and nodded his head. ''Nice to meet you, I am Lucy.'' Sting eyed her a bit longer. ''So, Lucy. What are you doing here?'' Lucy unsure of how she should answer fumbled with her dress.

''Could it be that you are the new student here?''

''Huh, what? You know?'' Now they both laughed.

''Everyone in this town knows.'' Lucy dropped her head a bit. Great!

''But why are you not in school today?'' Lucy looked at them a bit confused, they were the same age as her and they ask her why she's not in school when they aren't as well?

''I could ask you the same.'' She snorted back a bit. Sting smirked at that.

''Oh so you are a bit insolent. I like that.'' Lucy blushed, cursing herself for that.

''We are already in College and this College has off today.'' The blonde feeling so flushed from that could only breath out a little 'oh'.

Unnoticed to Lucy, Rogue tapped Sting's arm and gestured to him to the other side of the street. Stings face darkened and he nodded. ''Well then Lucy, I guess we will see you again, then!'' They both ran down the street without giving Lucy a chance to answer. Strange...

Still a bit away with her mind, Lucy turned around and bumped into a back. ''Oh, I am so-''

''Watch where you're going bitch!'' Lucy stiffened at that. In front of her stood a guy at least two heads bigger than her, piercings all over his face. The girl gulped audible. Shaking, she took a step back. ''I... I really am-''

''What was that?'' The guy leaned down to her, his eyes piercing into her's.

Lucy was close to tears, never in her life she felt so scared. ''Gajeel!'' The guy turned around immediately. A little girl stood in front of him and tapped her foot impatient on the ground. Lucy was stunned by how strong this little girl stood in front of him. She was even smaller than Lucy.

''I am sorry, did he scare you?'' Now Lucy recognized that the girl stood between her and the man, looking a bit concerned. ''N-No, I am fine.'' Lucy tried to hide her shaking hands behind her back but the girl took them with hers. ''He sometimes forget what effect he has on other people. But he is kind so don't worry. I wouldn't be with him if he would be one of the bad guys.'' The girl winked at Lucy who couldn't believe that this scary guy actually had a girlfriend.

She only nodded. ''My name is Levy. What's yours?''

''Lucy.'' Levy smiled at her. ''Are you also going on the Highschool?'' Lucy nodded, still a bit tensed from Gejeels behavior. ''I will join next Monday when the new year starts. I am still moving.'' Levys eyes went a bit wider. ''So you are the new student! Cool, now I already know you. I bet we will have a lot of fun in school.'' Levys behavior made Lucy feel on ease. This girl was so cheerful and open. Now she kinda was happy about entering their school.

''Well, we have to go now, see you around.'' Levy waved a goodbye Gajeel only nodded. They crossed the street and were out of Lucy's sight.

Lucy startled a bit when she felt something vibrating in her pocket. When she took out her mobile phone she already saw who was calling. ''What?'' She snorted annoyed when she answered the call.

''Where are you? Miranda told you that we wanted to eat dinner together!'' Rolling her eyes Lucy already started walking again. ''Yeah, yeah whatever. I am on my way.'' And she put on. In her rage she just crossed the street not watching if a car was nearing.

To all her bad luck she had a car actually came rushing around a corner to fast to stop. Lucy saw the car and already how it would hit her with full force. A hand groped hers and pulled her off the street, backwards into a chest. The girl saw the car rushing past her, her dress and hair swaying in the direction the car left to. With wide eyes she stared at the point she would probably lie right now if the person didn't pull her off the street. Lucy turned around in shock wanting to see the person who saved her life.

He looked down at her a bit shocked himself. ''You shouldn't just cross a street without looking.'' His voice was calm and he sounded much older than her. Lucy still shook a bit from what happened but nodded and mumbled a little 'thank you'.

The man laughed. ''No problem but take more care the next time!'' He was already running down the street. Lucy actually wanted to ask for his name but he was already out of her reach. Everyone here is so kind...

On her way back home she thought a lot about her old life. In Oakland all the people were cold and unfriendly. But here in this little town where everyone knows all the others the people were open hearted and kind. Lucy actually got used to the town after spending only two hours there.

But now she had to get over another thing. The dinner with her father and Miranda. I wish the car hit me!

Hehe:)
