I continue to puff my cigarette as I walk to school. Theres a light rain. I sigh as I come up to the school. I throw my cigarrette out as I walk to the front doors. Lisanna, the homecoming quuen, walks up to me.
"Look at the goth girl freak!" She says.
"Shut up." I say as I try to slide by her. She grabs my arm and pulls my sleeve up.
"Are you ever afraid you're going to cut yourself so much that you're going to cut your wrist off?" She smirks. I pull my wrist away from her and walk into class.
"Hey Lucy." My best friend Sting says.
"Hey Sting."
"What's up?"
"Same old, same old." I sigh as I sit down. We're in history class. The teacher walks in as the bell rings.
"Okay class! We're doing a project." I sigh. "You get to work with partners." I smile and look at Sting. "But I'm picking them." My smile fades away as the whole glass groans. "You guys can do any time period you want. You're essay requires atleast three hundred words." He picks up a box and shakes it. "Close your eyes and draw from the box." He walks to every student and they all draw a number. I grabbed seven. I look at Sting. He holds up number six. I sigh. When he's done he goes back up to the front of the class. "Raise your hand if you have number one." He looks at the Two people who have their hand up. "Erza and Levy. Number two?" Two more people raise their hand. "Jellal and Gajeel. Number Three? Juvia and Cana. Number four? Gray and Loke. Number five? Lisanna and Laxus. Number six? Sting and Millianna. Seven? Lucy and Natsu." I sigh. The project is due one week from today. No class time. The bell rings.
"I gotta run, I'll see you later." Sting says. Everyone leaves class except Gray, Lisanna, and I. I walk out and Lisanna follows.
"Keep your hands off my man." She turns to walk away. "Stupid gothic, emo, slut!" She trips me before taking off. I fall to my knees spilling my papers everywhere.
"You okay?" Gray asks. I nod. I get up and start picking up my papers. He helps me.
"Don't worry about Lisanna. She's just a bitch." He says while handing my papers to me.
"Arn't you guys best friends?"
"No. I hate her. Everyone hates her. The only reason why we put up with her is because she's dating Natsu."
"Thanks." I say as I walk away.
"No problem." He heads for his next class.
