Okay so I've been receiving some messages saying that the first 4 chapters of this story were pretty cringey and badly written, so I've started updating them. This is the updated version. I hope you like it and please review :)

Also, this is an OOC story, just a heads up!

Enjoy :)


*Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep*

Lucy groaned and rolled on her bed, turning towards her desk before throwing the alarm clock across the room. Monday morning sucked.

Not only it was Monday, but Lucy was also hungover. Her head hurt like a bitch so she really didn't need to wake up with that beeping noise. Actually why did she even have to wake up in the first place? She could've used some more sleep and maybe wake up next week.

Trying to decide whether or not to go back to sleep or get ready for school, Lucy scratched her head and yawned stretching her back. Bones popped with her movement and she got up lazily from the bed, cursing under hear breath and walked slowly to the bathroom to take a shower. After that she got dressed with the uniform, more like tried, since she was still half asleep.

Lucy hated the girl's uniform. The skirt was too short and all the boys would stare at her and that pissed the girl to no end. Then she would kick their asses and get sent to the principal's office. Not that she minded much, the old man was awesome and he was the grandfather of one of her very good friend's so they laugh around before he sends her back to class with no detention or anything like that.

The thing she hated more than the skirt was the tie, a dull shade of green. What was the point of wearing a tie to school? She just didn't get it. The tie usually ended up being used to tie her hair in a high ponytail. Which is exactly what she did today, tying it with a bow-knot.

Lucy glanced at herself in the mirror one last time. For someone who was feeling like death had run her over with a train, she looked okay enough. She nodded to herself, grabbed the pack of cigarettes from the table and went downstairs to eat something.

"Morning Lucy!" Her father had greeted from behind his newspaper. Lucy didn't even bother to look at the annoying man and mumbled an "whatever" before ignoring the rest of the blas-blas that came out of his mouth. The relationship between Lucy and her father had not been great since her mother had died. She blamed him for everything and wished that she could just turn back the time and leave with her mother while she still could.

She made herself some sandwiches and took them in the living room so she won't have to stay in the same room as her father. She even hated calling him 'her father' He didn't deserve it.

"Miss Lucy, please don't eat here, you're going to make a mess." the young housemaid said. Housemaid? Yeah right! Lucy had accidentally eavesdropped when the so-called housemaid and her father were "cleaning his office room", together, very loudly might she add.

Lucy ignored her, intentionally letting crumbs fall all over the couch and carpeted floor.

When she had finished her sandwiches she left the dirty plate on the table, grabbed her leather jacket and her phone, shoving it in the skirt's pocket and left the house.

She lit one cigarette and enjoyed the felling of smoke invading her lungs. You only live once anyway, so where's the point in trying to prolong your life? You die when you die and that's final.

"Well look who's here, my little Red!" A beautiful girl with wavy brown hair greeted, smiling smugly at Lucy.

Lucy face palmed herself "You'll never let me forget that will you?" A couple of years ago Lucy had been so drunk and decided that she wanted a change so she had dyed her hair red and the next morning when she saw herself and how bad that colour had looked on her Lucy went on a rampage trying to find the one who had done that to her hair, forgetting that that person had actually been herself.

Lucy opened the pack of cigarettes and handed one to Cana but she refused it.

"Girl, you know I don't smoke. Come to me with a drink not with that smelly stick."Cana laughed and slapped Lucy's hand away. Lucy shrugged and put the pack back in her pocket.

"Are you going to Bora's party tonight?" Lucy asked puffing out the smoke..

"Hell yes!" Cana yelled but wasn't paying attention to Lucy, instead she was squinting her eyes trying to see some guy in the distance.

Lucy quickly stuck her foot in front of Cana's and she tripped almost falling over, barely catching herself at the last second.

Cana straightened up and looked at Lucy with a deadly glare "You did not.." She said in a low and menacing voice.

"Oh yes I did." Lucy stuck out her tongue at her and took off running with an angry Cana close behind.

When Cana had caught up with Lucy she slapped the back of her head a couple of times and said "I have to talk to a friend. See you in school, okay?" She playfully slapped Lucy on the cheek and had left without waiting for Lucy to answer.

Immediately after Lucy had opened the school's doors some boys saw her and wolf whistled. Lucy rolled her eyes but since she was in a good mood from earlier with Cana she decided to play a little with them.

She started walking towards the group of boys, seductively moving her hips with every step and asked "Do you guys know Aki?" The boys nodded looking at the way her body swayed perfectly with each step.

"I heard he's in the hospital, do you happen to know why?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows in fake concern. They shook their heads, while Lucy started playing with their ties bringing all of them closer to each other.

Suddenly she pulled the ties fast knocking their heads together "He's there because he was hitting on me." Lucy smirked and walked away while the boys rubbed their heads scowling.

She laughed and continued to walk to her class. Once there, she took a seat in the back of the classroom. She usually stayed there so the teachers won't see when she was sleeping, not that she even cared that much if they saw her.

The teacher had come shortly after that and after him had entered two other boys. New students. Lucy already hated them.

She wasn't what you'd call a 'popular' girl. Lucy was more of a bad ass. Most of the kids in the high school feared her. She has friends, of course, but only people she'd known for a long time and none of them were going to her high school, except Cana. New people that had tried to break into her circle of friends had always annoyed her.

"We have new students. Please introduce yourself." The teacher announced crossing his arms and looked at the two boys that stood quietly next to him.

When Lucy took another look at the boys she saw him. One of her old friends. Best friends actually. The last time she had seen him was when they almost went to jail a year before.

"Holly shit! Is that you man?" She asked from the back of the class and stood up. She walked in front of the class but she couldn't pass by the other new student who was blocking her way.

The guy thought that she was talking to him. "Umm, I don't think I know you…" He said confused looking down at her. He was tall, like 6 feet tall and her neck already cramped after looking up at him.

"I'm Natsu Dra-" he started to introduce himself but she cut him off by placing a hand in front of his face. "I don't give a fuck about who you are, now move." She said and pushed him so she could see the other guy. He was laughing at the scene in front of him.

"Long time no see." he said giving her a warm smile. Damn, she really had missed the guy.

"It is you indeed. Man, I haven't seen you in such a long time, Laxus!" She was grinning like an idiot and she was aware of all the curious looks that everyone in the class was sending their way, but she couldn't care less. One of her dearest friends was standing right in front of her.

"Ms. Heartfilia, stop disturbing my class and go back to your seat." Mr. Wakaba said in a monotonous voice.

"We are talking right now. Can't you see?" Lucy asked and raised an eyebrow at the old man.

Laxus wasn't surprised to hear her talking like this to the teacher. The rest of the kids in the class and the teacher also looked like it wasn't something new for them. Only the new student looked at her a little shocked, but with visible amusement on his face.

"Out Ms. Heartfilia." the teacher said in a calm tone. At first he had been exhausted from yelling at her every time she had done something to interrupt his lesson, but now it just came naturally. The class would begin, she would either sleep the entire time or say something inappropriate and he would send her out or to the principal's office. In fact, he'd been curious of what way his student would choose to get herself sent out the next day.

Oh well, Lucy didn't feel like staying in that damn boring classroom anyway, so she decided not to argue with the teacher any more. She smiled at Laxus and slapped him gently on the cheek before she left, leaving the door open intentionally to annoy the teacher.

"Now present yourself properly and close that damn door." Mr. Wakaba said letting out a breath, surprised that Lucy hadn't thrown a tantrum or something...

"Hi, I'm Natsu Dragneel." he introduced himself simply, while Laxus kept smiling and winking at the pretty girls making them swoon "I'm Laxus Dreyar." After that they both went to separate seats in class, Laxus went where Lucy had been staying before she had left and Natsu sat in front of the class next to a black haired guy.

"Hey, I'm Gray." the boy introduced himself. Natsu just looked at him and nodded.

"What do you think about our little badass, pinkie?" Gray asked and smirked when he saw the look Natsu gave him because of the nickname.

If Natsu hated something it had to be people making fun of his hair. "How'd you call me ice block?"

"Silent!" The teacher yelled and looked at the two, "Do you want to go after Ms. Heartfilia?"

They kept silent and shook their heads in denial.


Outside the classroom, Lucy was wandering around the hallways looking for something to do or someone to talk with… but hadn't found anyone. She continued to wander around the school until the bell rang and she went to her next period.

Luckily for her, Laxus had the same period as her.

"Hey red head! I missed you girl." He said in a voice soft with affection.

"For the name of- Why do you and Cana keep calling me like that?" She growled with annoyance, but laughed. "Leaving that aside, I missed you too! But how come you are here?"

"After you left last year, a lot of things had happened." He paused for a couple of seconds, a frown appearing on his face but it disappeared immediately after. "Anyway… I was a mess but my grandfather had found me and took care of me. Now he had asked me to move here, to be closer to him. How about you?"

"This is where I had moved last year. But why didn't you call me man? You know I would've helped you!" Lucy and Laxus had been friends for 6 years, there isn't much that she won't do for him.

"I knew from Cana that you had problems with your father. But that time is over, let's get back to the present. Did you make any friends?" He asked seeing the not-so-friendly looks everyone was giving them.

"Druggies and drunks." She laughed and shrugged.

"You'll never change will you?" Laxus asked. Her choice of friends wasn't that good, but it was at the same time. Even though her friends were coming from the 'bad side' of the town, meaning that they were the ones dealing with the drugs in the city, or with the wildest parties; they were people she could always depend on. They had her back and she had theirs.

"Do you want me to change man? You don't like me any more?" She asked raising an eyebrow in a funny way.

"Damn! Still cute!" He pinched her cheeks and she slapped his hand away with a scowl. "You know I love you… How about Cana? Is she here too?"

"Yeah. I bet she's already drunk by now tho." They both laughed thinking about all the times when Cana had come drunk at their old school.

"What is going on there?" Ms. Milgana asked. "Heartfilia, pay attention please."

"How much should I pay?" Lucy asked and looked at the teacher with her usual bored expression.

The whole class started to laugh.

"Out Ms." The teacher yelled. Probably all the teachers in this school were tired or used to her behaviour. Saying 'out' just came naturally to them now. It'd become like a prayer, something you say every day, because there is not a day for her to not be sent out of the class.

"Wait a sec." Lucy said and turned her attention back to Laxus.

"What did you say miss?"

"I said shut up!" Lucy yelled, sending a glare to the teacher. "What's your next period?" she asked Laxus.

"I don't know girl". They both laughed then Lucy sighed and told Laxus that they'll see each other around before getting up.

"Are you done Heartfilia?" The woman asked, hoping that she could finally get on with her lesson.

"As you can see…" Lucy said before she left.

She didn't notice Natsu, who was sitting in the front of the class and who was staring at her all the time until she left the class.


What am I going to do now? She thought. It was the second time that day when she'd wandered aimlessly around the school. You'd think that by now she would have a spot just for her where she could ditch or waste time. Well, yeah, she did have that kind of place. The back of the school. But it was under renovation now and she couldn't go there any more.

At the end of the hallway she saw a very familiar guy with dark black hair. She squinted her eyes trying to recognize the guy and then realization had hit her. She gasped and turned aroud, running back to the classroom where Laxus was. Holly shit! That was Zeref. What the hell is he doing here? Shit, I have to tell Laxus!

She burst the door open, ignoring the teacher who was telling her to leave the room and go to the principle office right away.

"Laxus, Zeref is here!" She yelled in a panicked voice.

Laxus stood up and all the colour drained from his face. With a shaky voice he asked "What?"

"He is here. Zeref is here, Laxus! He will kill you if he sees you!" She yelled.
