I've started a new story(: don't worry because I'm not done with the other one. I'll be updating chapters for both. Anyway, I'll tell you the summary.
Lucy has always been a tom boy ever since she can remember. She's athletic and smart, but no guys hit on her because she's like a boy to them. However, she's very popular among the girls. One day, she has to transfer and meets a salmon haired boy who is known as "The King of Players."
New Start
My name is Lucy Heartfilia. When I was born, my father was very displeased with my mother and I because he wanted a son. I've always tried my best to please him, even if it meant wearing boy clothes and doing things only boys did. I also thought about cutting my hair, but my mom told me that my hair was so beautiful, so I tied it up all the time. Eventually, I got used to dressing like a boy and I even found boy clothing to be much more comfortable than dresses. I even found myself to be surprisingly good at sports. However, even with that much effort, my father never recognized my mother and I. He had a mistress and when I was 4, my father casted my mother and I aside. He kicked us out of the mansion and got us an apartment to live in. Ever since then, my mother has been crying every night. She would never cry in front of me though. When she was with me, she had the most beautiful smile. That was my strength. From then on, I worked for her and not my father. I did everything to make sure she was happy. I took as many part time jobs as I could to earn money for us to get to the top. I studied hard. I participated in club activities and sports. She always asked for me to dress up and put makeup on, but that meant money, so I told her I'd only do that on special occasions.
Now, I'm in the second year of high school. I'm the student council president and I'm top student in my class. I'm attending Sabertooth High. All the boys see me as a brother while the girls see me as the type of boyfriend they'd like. I wear the girl uniform too but no skirt. I wear pants instead. I'm currently heading to school.
"Ah, it's Lucy Dono! Kyaaaa!" This is mainly what I hear as I pass by girls.
"Yo, Lu senpai! You're coming to baseball practice today, right?" Rogue asked.
"Of course! I don't have work today."
"But you know, you should act more like a girl. If this goes on, you won't be able to find a boyfriend!"
I blushed, "I-I don't need a b-boy-boyfriend."
"Yo, Rogue!" Sting greeted.
"Oh, hi Sting."
No response. It's to be expected. After all, he's my younger brother. His mother was the mistress my father had. He's a first year along with Rogue. When he was little, he'd always cry and run away from home to see me. He used to cling to me calling me "neechan." I remember how sometimes he'd stay home from school and come to my house and wait for me to come back. When I got home, he welcomed me back with a big smile. But, it stopped when he got into 5th grade. No one knows we are siblings though because our last names are different. He has his mom's last name.
"Why do you always ignore senpai, Sting? Is it because you like her?" Rogue asked Sting.
"Ha! As if I'd like someone like her. She's just a tom boy," sting answered.
'It's because we're siblings -.-' I thought.
Soon enough, we were entering the school gates and girls were surrounding me.
"Why do you always steal the girls to yourself? You're not even a guy!"All the boys shouted in jealousy.
"Lucy Sama! I wish the boys would treat us as kind as you. When my boyfriend broke up with me and told me he was using me, you beat him up for me. You're the best!" One of the girls shouted.
"When I was rejected by the guy I liked, you were there to comfort me. I remember what you said clearly. You said, 'He was just an idiot for rejecting you. One day, he'll come crawling to you and you'll have already moved on. So that's just what you have to do, move on because you deserve someone who'll treasure you.' Kyaaa! Those were just the right words I needed to hear!" Another girl shouted.
Then, the bell rang and everyone rushed off to class. The whole day was just like any other day. All the girls surrounding me and telling me that I'm their ideal boyfriend and all the boys talking to me about sports while some boys are death glaring me for taking all the girls. Now, it's time for some baseball with the guys. But before that, Rogue called me out to talk.
"Senpai, what should I do? You know Minerva senpai, right?"
"Yea, the one with the bad attitude?"
"She doesn't have a bad attitude! But... She asked me if I wanted to stay by her side... Should I accept?"
"Uh uh... You shouldn't. I don't think it was a confession of love or anything. I think it'll be a bad idea if you accept it."
"Lu senpai! Are you saying that because you don't want me to date? I already know that you like me. Everyone in the baseball team knows you like me, but I don't feel the same."
"What are you talking about? I like you, but I don't like you like you. I'm saying you shouldn't accept what Minerva said because she's been bullying a lot of girls lately and I told her off about it. She stopped for a bit, but she continued again. I don't think it'll be safe for you to be by her side. I'm just saying this for your sake."
"You're still making up excuses? Senpai, I don't like you because when I'm with you, it's like I'm with a boy. You know i get nervous around girls, but I can talk casually with you because you're like a boy. Besides, you don't have any appeal. You're really ugly for a girl. You always tie your hair up and you don't even have a huge rack."
"Rogue, enough! Boy this boy that! Even if I'm like a boy, I'm still a girl!"
I ran away. I'm going home. He's an idiot. I don't even have romantic feelings for him, but if he says all that, it'll hurt me still. Besides, I don't have any appeal because I don't like dressing up. I don't dress up because of my father and because I wanted to continue being friends with everyone. Also, I do have a rack! I just wrap it up because it gets in the way of sports! If I didn't wrap it up, when I run, it'll just bounce everywhere! How can he be so insensitive!
Before I knew it, I was at home.
"Ara, you're home early today Lucy. What's wrong? You look hurt?" my mom asked.
"Mom, one of the boys said some hurtful things to me. He said I was ugly. Am I really that ugly? Do I really have no appeal? He basically called me flat chested too! But I always take a long time in the morning wrapping it up!" I cried.
"My child, you are the most beautiful girl. You are so beautiful and you try so hard for everyone around you."
"You're only saying that because I'm your daughter. I'm ugly aren't I?"
"I told you. You're the most beautiful girl ever. You're Lucy Heartfilia, daughter of Layla Heartfilia. You are my precious treasure, my precious gem. Now, you may not be polished, but with a little make over, you'll even see that you are beautiful."
"Really? You're not lying to me right?" I asked sobbing.
"Have I ever lied to you?"
"No... Thank you, Mom."
"Come here, I'll show you. Close your eyes and let me do my magic," She said as she dragged me behind her. She sat me somewhere and starting applying stuff into my face. Then, she undressed me, undid the wrappings around my chest, and put something on me. Next, she let my hair down.
"Open your eyes now."
I opened my eyes and looked across from me. There stood a beautiful girl in a pink dress.
"No way. That's not me. Who's that!? And what is this clothing!? It's uncomfortable and my chest feels exposed. And what's this stuff on my face?"
"See? Beautiful right? You agree. That is definitely my beautiful pride of joy, you. That dress used to be my dress. I wore it on my first date with your dad. You're a girl so you should be wearing clothes like this more often. You're wearing makeup. That's what's on your face, although you're already beautiful without makeup. Now, do you believe me that you're beautiful?"
"That's me? It feels really weird, but it isn't too bad."
"It's not bad at all. You're really beautiful. My daughter is so beautiful! I want to scream it to the world! Can I take a picture?"
I nodded in embarrassment. It's not too bad. Mom looks really happy. I'll dress up like this more often. Then, mom grabbed a camera and took pictures of me in different angles.
"Nice body! You have a HUGE chest! Wow! Look at those pure white legs! You never wore skirts often so they're so white! Oh! How can they be so soft too!?" My mom exclaimed as she touched my legs and hugged me.
"Mom! I didn't know you were such a pervert."
She stuck her tongue out, "I'm just excited to see this. It doesn't happen often. The last time you did this was in elementary school on your promotion."
"Geez Mom. I'll dress up more okay? Now... Can you get off of me?"
"Hai hai! Gomenasai! Now..." She suddenly got very serious.
"Yes?"
"I know you were barely starting your second year of high school... But we're moving to Magnolia and you'll be transferring schools to Fairy Tail High."
"Ehhhhhh?!"
"Yes, and we're leaving tomorrow, so start packing!"
"Mom... Is it Dad again?"
"Eh? How'd you know? Geez, you always know so quick."
"What happened?"
"He came over today. He said he didn't want you attending the same school his son attended... So he wanted to move us somewhere else... But that's okay, right? We can start new with people and create new memories. You can also dress like a girl and maybe even find a son in law for me! Then I'd have grandchildren! It's not a bad idea at all!"
"Mom! Now's not the time to be joking around. How can he just do that to us!? He's already abandoned us, now he's even relocating us somewhere far from him, and all just because he doesn't want me to attend the same school as Sting! Why is he always like this? He doesn't even care about us!"
"Now that's not true. He cares about us a lot. He always gives you birthday presents."
"No he doesn't! I know they're just from you. You write that it's from Dad, but I know very well you're the one buying them for me. Actually, that means you have lied to me."
"I'm sorry... But listen. He does care about us, that's the reason why he gets us a place to stay in."
"Yea, but he only gets us an apartment. If he really cared, he would've gotten an actual house!"
"We have a place to cover our heads, is that not enough? I know full well what he could've done for us, but he didn't. One day, you'll know why he told us to leave. One day, you'll know. For now, let's pack up and leave for Magnolia. Think positive, a new start with a new you. Let's make the boys fall head over heals for you!"
"Mom, I love you so much."
"Eh? That was out of no where... Oh no, now I'm starting to blush. My daughter telling me she loves me is so amazing. You know, I love you too, my sweet beautiful daughter."
"Yeah, I know. Thank you. Maybe starting new isn't so bad. Let's start packing our stuff then."
For the rest of the day, we packed. We only packed the necessary things. Mom said the Moving Van isn't all big, so we'll be taking our furniture and clothes. I can't bear to leave my sports materials, so I packed those as well. I was always interested in the stars and space, so I took my telescope too. For my pictures, I'll leave the ones with my friends and take the ones with my mom and I and ones I had with my dad. I took other things I thought would be needed and now I'm done with my things. Then, I went to help my mom pack dishes and supplies. Tomorrow, I'll have to return my textbooks.
Since I put away my blankets and bed sheet, I slept with my mom tonight.
"Hey, Lucy?"
"Yes, Mom?"
"I have a good feeling about tomorrow."
"Yeah, me too."
With that, I fell asleep in my mother's embrace.
"Lucy, wake up! The moving men are here!"
"Ugh, five more minutes."
"You have to return your textbooks and say your goodbyes, don't you?"
"Do I have to? Can't I just leave?"
"No, get up. I'll dress you up. Let's make your goodbye a good one."
"Hai hai."
I got up and let Mom dress me up again. She gave me a tank top and a mini skirt to wear and did my hair. She didn't put make up on me this time. When she finished, I took my books and walked the usual path to school.
"Sugoi! Who's that girl? I've never seen her before. Is she new?" A boy asked behind me.
"Keh! Who's that girl, acting all pretty," girls mumbled.
T^T 'My appearance may have changed a little, but I didn't think the girls who usually praised me would hate me all of a sudden.'
I made my way to school alone. I went to the office first and told them I was transferring and then went to the library to return my textbooks. I didn't think I should go to class to say my goodbyes so I went home after.
Meanwhile in class, the teacher interrupts, "oh, Heartfilia San won't be joining us from now on. She is transferring."
"Eh? Lucy? Our ideal boyfriend is gone now! What will we do?!" The girls complained.
"Ah, she also told me to tell you girls, 'I'm not your ideal boyfriend because I'm a girl. From now on, face your problems straight forward. If you ever have any problems with guys, confront them nicely. That's all, goodbye,' and then she told me to tell the boys, 'Stop being jealous of me for taking the girls when I'm just a girl. You need to step up your game. Also, your athlete will be playing against you from now on. Until we meet next time at the field as enemies. When that time comes, I'll be sure to crush you. Good luck and good bye,' and yeah. She wanted me to relay those messages to you, so make sure you tell the others too."
"Wahhhh! Lucy Dono! Lucy Sama!" Everyone cried out.
Now, I'm in the car with my mom heading to our new apartment, or so I thought. When we got to our new home, it wasn't an apartment.
"Mom, you didn't mention a two story house! I thought we were going to be living in an apartment again."
"Really? I thought I did. See? He really does care about us. Come on, help me pack so you can go to school."
"School? Already?! On the first day we moved here? I don't even know where it is!"
"We passed by it and I told you that it was your new school."
"Well I was in a daze! It's not my fault."
"It can't be helped. We'll check the neighbor to see if they have any kids going to your high school. Then you can just follow him or her."
"Why can't you just take me?"
"Because I have a lot to do. I have to unpack so many things and clean this huge house! Then I have to go to the store to buy things for the house."
"Geez, fine. Then let's bring some food over so we don't seem too bad."
"Aye sir! My daughter is smart. Now now, go cook it then."
After I finished cooking, we went next door.
*ding dong*
And that's the chapter for now! Thanks for reading! How is it so far?
