Chapter One: The Girl Named Lucy
Growing up without a mother was one of the hardest things a girl could go through. My mother had died giving birth to me, leaving my father to raise a baby on his own. My father was one of the wealthiest men in all of Fiore, Jude Heartfillia. Most people think that my father tossed me aside so he could focus on making more money and getting more business deals, well guess what? You're completely wrong, my father actually took time off work to take care of me, with the help of my mother's most trusted maids.
He did have to go back to work after a month, but it never stopped him from coming home to see his daughter. I love my father more than anyone else in the world, he is always by myside, guiding me to make the choices I should make. I may have never met my mom, but my dad always tells me stories about how they met, and how they fell in love. According to a maid that served my mother I was the complete opposite to her, but I was an exact replica. I had gotten her pale blonde hair, he chocolate brown eyes, but I gotten my attitude from my dad.
I was seven when my dad first took me to her grave, he didn't take me sooner because he thought I wasn't ready enough.
"Daddy? Is mommy an angel now?" I asked him. We were standing in front of her grave. I was looking at her headstone and above it was an angel crouching down, as if she was praying. Her grave was surrounded by all kinds of different flowers, roses, daisy's, lilies.
"Your mom is up in heaven with all the other kind hearted people, I'm sure she's looking down on you right now. She must be so proud to have a daughter like you Lucy." He replied, he was looking at me with the most loving expression.
I knew how much he had loved mom, but seeing it in person was a heartfelt experience. Losing the woman, you love, but brining in a new life that the both of you have created. I could not begin to process my father had to go through. We lived on the outskirts of Hargeon Town when I was a child, but soon my father thought it would be a good idea to move into Magnolia, the largest town of Fiore, and the town that held the most elite school: Sabertooth Private Academy. I wasn't interested in going to a private school, but I soon found out from my father that I could stay at home instead of the dorms, and that they had a writing school inside the academy! My father knows of my writing abilities, considering the fact that I write him stories for his travels. Every time he left for a new business meeting, I would make sure to come up with a short story. Though, I do not know if he wants me to take over the family business or if I can follow my dream of being a writer. Of course we were not going to sell this house, he told me it would be our vacation home and that it was only a 3 hour ride from Hargeon to Magnolia.
"What should I do!? I CAN'T FIND A GOOD ENDING FOR MY STORY" I yelled out loud, banging my head against my desk. Letting my head sit there for a minute, "once again writers blocked has taken over." My voice turned into a soft voice. This was the 3rd time this week. I lazily took my head off the desk and stared at my laptop.
Nothing I typed seemed to match with the rest of my story. Romance stories was one of the few genres I couldn't write. I've written many other types, fantasy, horror, heck I even written a children's book! But never have I attempted romance, I mean do not get me wrong, romance novels are the one type of books that I can never put down. It's just I've never experienced any type of romance before! Sure, father gives me all kinds of freedom, but when it comes to boys he puts his foot down (and so do I). One of my closet friends, Yukino, has been dating one of my friends, Sting, since we were freshman, and whenever we are all together they're always being lovey dovey. Leaving me and Rouge uncomfortable. I was nearly reaching the age of 17, and so far no boy has caught my interest. Then again before I moved to magnolia I didn't have friends.
"Maybe I should call Yukino and she if she wants to hang…" I said aloud, wondering if the girl was on a date with Sting or not. Pulling out my phone I sent her a quick text seeing if she wanted to hang out, instantly I received a text saying she's free. Throwing my phone on the bed, I started towards the closet.
Of course wearing a fancy dress to a simple café would attract too much attention to myself. So I settled on a pair of Nike shorts, and a blank tank. I pulled my hair out of my face and into a quick bun. Grabbing my pairs of tennis shoes, I ran out the room into the hallway passing all the servants along the way.
It took 20 minutes for me to reach the café, scanning the room I soon found her sitting in the same booth, we claimed this booth ours the first time we came here.
"Hello Lucy-sama!" her bubbly voice called out, she started calling me that when she found out who my father was. She claimed that I should be treated like a princess, though the countless times I've told her to just call me Lucy. "I ordered you the usual when I arrived."
"Hey Yukino, sorry I'm late." I replied while scooting into the booth "And I told you not to call me Lucy-sama, just Lucy."
"Sorry...Lucy-sa…I mean Lucy...So have you finished our research paper yet? I can't seem to find any privacy subjects for my negative paragraph."
"WAAA don't even get me started on that paper! I hate how they didn't even go into detail about how to properly write it!" I exclaimed while throwing my head down. "I hate the fact that they make us do this our junior year! WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS SENIOR YEAR!"
"Haha, I know Lucy, but with this we get a head start of how to write them next year" she giggled "Ah! Thank you Mira-chan!"
Mira was one of the waitresses who worked at the café, and usually the waitresses who took our orders. She used to be a model until her little sister Lissana got into a car accident, she survived the car accident luckily.
"You two are very welcome! Here your order Yukino, a hot chocolate with your slice of chocolate cheese cake." She said while handing her the order "And of course a strawberry cheesecake for Lucy, with our most famous strawberry milkshake. If you two need anything, please don't hesitate to ask me" and with that she turned around and left.
"FLAME HEAD" a voice rang out.
"ICE BREATHE" a voice shouted back.
I turned to the direction where the noises were coming from. There, in the middle of the café stood two boys. One had blue hair and he did not have a shirt one, while the other one had pink hair a looked about ready to punch the other boy in the face. But what caught my eyes weren't the insults they kept saying, no. It was the boy with pink hair….
