WHEN WE WERE KIDS
CHAPTER 1-WINDOWS
My name is Lucy Heartfilia. I am fourteen years old, soon turning fifteen, and I have just moved house, from an expensive estate in the country, too a normal house in the town of Magnolia. I lived with my dad, Jude Heartfilia, but I ran away about two weeks ago. When I was smaller, we had a maid called Silver, and she was fired, for being nice to me. She used to give me extra cookies, or not make me wear a stupid frilly dress, so one day, my dad fired her, despite my mom's protests. Before Silver went, she gave me a letter in secret. As I walked into Magnolia, I looked down at my letter, and read it once more.
My dear LuLu,
Please don't blame your father for firing me, your mother is getting sicker and sicker, they have told you the sorry fate of dear Layla. Your father was just scared and sad, so it isn't his fault that he sacked me.
Knowing you, you will run away soon enough, and nothing I say will stop you unfortunately... So all I shall say is this: I will always be there for you. If the day you run away comes to past, here is my adress:
4 hyacinth road
Magnolia
You will be welcome to stay with me, Magnolia has a beautiful school and scenery, everything a girl needs shopping-wise, and a lovely book store I would like you to visit.
All my love, Silver-Obba-Chan.
So there I was, entering Magnolia, with my backpack and letter.
In the town, I noticed that people were nice, whenever I accidentally crashed into someone, or trip, they would always smile and not make a big deal. I walked along the roads, trying to find Hyacinth road. I suddenly got pushed into a wall.
"Hey!" I shouted.
"Sorry!" They said, as they ran along. I caught a brief glance of pink hair, and a boy my age.
"Tsch..." I said, as the insignificant boy ran away. I continued walking, still anoyed, but I soon forgot the reason why.
A girl that was probably my age came up to me. She had long red hair tied into a braid. "Excuse me, you wouldn't of seen a pink haired boy wearing a scarf and a half naked, black haired boy chasing after him running this way?" She asked. I was taken back by the question. "Um...No, sorry."
"That's alright. I haven't seen you around here before, or at Fairy high. Are you new?"
"Yes, I've just moved here, well, I'm looking for my house."
"I can help if you want. My name's Erza Scarlet. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Lucy, nice to meet you too."
"So where is this house?"
"Hyacinth road."
"I know where that is, nice place to have a house, I'll accompany you."
"Thanks." I answered. I was a bit shy of her, she had a look in her eyes that said not to mess with her, she was still kind though, cool, and beautiful. She was nice. Erza led the way, going through little roads and streets, I tried, and failed, to memorize the way. We arrived at a lovely street, covered with flowers in big wooden tubs on the sidewalk. Trees shaded it from the sun, and people were chatting and going wherever they were going on the road. I immediately fell in love with it. A brunette ran over the street towards us. "Hey! Erza! How are you? And what are you doing here?" She said.
"Hi Cana, I was just showing Lucy to her new house."
"Ooh, a new girl. Hi, my name's Cana, pleased to meet you." She said to me.
"Hi, I'm Lucy."
"Lucy is going to live on this street, so be nice to her, and be careful that Sting or Laxus don't annoy her, they have a thing for blonds..." Erza told her. Cana nodded and smiled. She was pretty too, her brown hair was in a ponytail, two strands of her hair framed her face nicely, and her deep blue eyes made her stand out from the crowd, not to mention her skimpy outfit, a chequered dress, that showed her cleavage more than necessary.
"Don't worry Erza, this cute little thing won't get in harm's way. She looks so innocent..."
"I am here." I said, blatantly. Being called innocent was slightly hurtful, even though it was true.
The two girls showed me to number four, and told me to find them by the fountain in the middle of town tomorrow. I waved as they walked away, they were both really nice, Cana took perhaps a bit to much interest in my body and love life... but on the whole I was already beginning to love this place. I walked up the path of number four, and knocked on the door. "Coming!"a voice said from inside. "Hello, how can I-" said a woman with white hair. She stopped when she saw my face, and clapped her hands to her mouth.
"Hello, Silver." I said, and smiled at her.
"Lucy?" She said, startled. I nodded and smiled. Silver broke into tears, and hugged me very hard. I hugged her back, I had missed her so much.
"Silver, I ran away, he was being so mean to me, I couldn't take it, and I remembered your letter, and I-"
"Shh...shh.. it's ok. I have a room just waiting for you." Silver said. She smiled at me and led me into her house. It smelled of honey and gingerbread. My room was on the bottom floor, the window showed out the garden on the side of her house. A big double bed with a blue and pink duvet was on the far right of the room, a desk was there, and so was a large wardrobe. I couldn't help but imagine it filled with beautiful clothes. On the wall was a painting of the sea. It was so beautiful. "Welcome home, LuLu." She said, ruffled my hair, and left.
We had a hearty meal of meat udon, and went to bed. I went into my room, and found my shorts and t-shirt I used as pyjamas. I took my top of, chucking it into a corner, I took my bra off, and something caught my eye. I looked out of my window, and noticed the house on the other side of the garden for the first time.
And a window.
And looking out of it was.
A boy.
A pink haired boy around the same age as me.
Looking at me.
Topless.
As in bare-chested.
I squeaked and closed the curtains hurriedly. After I got my top on, I peeked out of the window. His curtains were closed. I crawled into bed, and fell to sleep.
The light shone through the curtains, and woke me up, along with the sound of birds. I remembered that guy seeing me half naked, and groaned in my pillow. But soon the memory went away as I remembered what I had in store that day. I was meeting Erza and Cana for a trip round Magnolia. Erza said she would bring some other friends of hers along, and I couldn't wait to meet new people. I got up and opened the curtains. There, across the garden, was that boy, opening his curtains at the same time as me. Our gazes crossed, and we both blushed, and stormed away. I looked at myself in the full length mirror on the wardrobe. My blond hair was straight and not that messy, considering it was morning, my brown eyes were rested, the past week I had had bags, and my figure was in shape. I opened the wardrobe and looked for an outfit I could wear, I had unpacked the night before. I found a white tank top, and a navy blue skirt. I pulled white knee socks on, and tied part of my hair into a ponytail on the right side of my head. Silver knocked at my door.
"Come in."
"Lulu! Your up, my you have grown, you are so beautiful! We're did that little girl go?"
"Thank you, Silver-Obba-Chan. Is there anything you will need helping with today?"
"I'm glad you asked. The reason I came in here was to ask If you could help me carry these apples to some friends of mine. I owe them some, and these crates don't help my poor old back."
"I would love to help." I answered. After all she had done, how could I not.
We got the crates, and left the house. My mind was already by the fountain with Erza and Cana, so I didn't know which house we were at till to late. "Lulu, we are here." I looked up. We were at our neighbours house, were the boy had seen my chest. Colour drained from my face as the door opened. An small old man stood in the doorway. "Silver! Come in, I have made some tea for you."
"Hello Mokarov, I would like you to meet someone." She pulled me out of her shadow. "This is Lucy, she is living with me, I suppose you could say she is my grandaughter." I smiled at the old man.
"Hello Lucy! Nice to see a new face around here. I suppose you will be going to Fairy high?"
"Yes, sir."
"Excellent! Why don't you meet my sort-of grandson? He is the same age as you and goes to Fairy high. Natsu! Come here!" Mokarov called. We heard a crash, a bang, and some profanity. The old man laughed. "He is sometimes careless." I silently crept behind Silver. "Gramps! Why did you call me? Oh, hello Obba-Chan!" Said a voice.
"Hello Natsu." Silver replied. I was glad I could hide easily behind her. But I knew the inevitable would come to pass.
"Natsu, brat. I would like you to meet Lucy, she is Silver's-"
"Who? I can't see anyone?" He said. Silver stepped to the side, leaving me in full view. I gasped. In front of me was the boy who had seen me. He had pink spiky hair, a red t-shirt, black jeans, and a scarf wrapped around his neck. He stared at me, then gasped to, recognising me.
Hope you enjoyed, and I am just pointing out that behind all of this lies a story, which shall hopefully make you laugh, cry, and be angry at me for being such a troll. I love you all! Bisous :*
