Lucy's Pov:

Mum, Michelle, Éclair and I were getting out of the car to go to the concert and I was walking away when I realised I forgot something. I turned to mum and asked if she could go back and get my purse and she did. Éclair and Michelle were still in the car fighting over something and mum reached the car when there was a loud bang and I was blown back. I saw their bodies sprawled out along the ground. I got up and ran to them and fell by their side I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder but I ignored it. Suddenly I was thrown off of my knees and chucked into a black abyss and I was surrounded by Éclair, Michelle and mum. They were chanting that it was all my fault. I was surrounded by bodies and I screamed.

I woke up in my bed sweating and looked towards the time. I groaned and saw it was 9:00am in the morning. I shot out of bed. I only had ten minutes to get ready and I groaned once again at the date today. The 7th of July, the anniversary of my mother, sister, and best friends death. I hated this day. It was the day my dad hated me most. He would look at me with horror or disappointment or worst of all, anger.

I had a two minute shower and threw on a blue t-shirt and a skirt with my brown boots. I couldn't be bothered with any makeup and I scooped up my books and threw them in my bag. I stepped out of my room into the massive mansion that only occupied by about half-a-dozen people with more then half-a-dozen rooms. I looked out along the long hallway to see just a few maids running around and ducking into rooms with panicked faces. I rolled my eyes because it was the time my father wanted his breakfast. I smelt the alcohol radiating off the walls too, this early in the morning, I knew it would be a long night tonight. I ran to the front door to avoid him.

I never see him anymore. Only when he's really drunk and angry. After the accident he blamed me. Fair enough too, I blame myself. I walked down the three story house to the front door. I opened the door to find Capricorn in a fancy black car.

"Same as always Cap." I said and he nodded.

"A block away as always Lady Lucy." I cringed at the name. I really wished he would stop calling me that by I knew he never would so I just slid inside the car and waited to reach my destination. Once the car stopped I hopped out of the car and continued the trip to school.

I always get dropped a block away from school so people don't realise I am rich. I got to school and the hallways were empty. I looked at my watch to see that I was five minutes late… well damn. I ran towards the assembly room and quietly opened the door. I ran to sit by Levy and Juvia.

"Where the hell have you been?" Levy asked.

"I kinda slept in today…" Levy rolled her eyes and I looked towards Juvia, I then looked towards the stage. She was staring loving towards her "Gray-sama" and I too rolled my eyes. She was obsessed with him. I don't even know how she even met him and I don't think she has ever even talked to him. If she did talk to him she would probably faint.

I was interrupted from my thoughts by my name being called out.

"Lucy Heartfilia and Natsu Dragneel for the highest academic achievement in the school." I heard people clap and whistle but not for me but for that Natsu guy. I got up and had a horrible sick feeling in my stomach. I always hated getting up on stage. I hated getting attention so I wanted to get it over and done with.

I fast walked towards the stage in front of Natsu. I got to the stairs and walked up to get my achievement. I bowed and when Natsu got handed his award the crowd burst into cheers. Mostly from the girls which I was not surprised by. He was after all the heartthrob of the school… I think.

In my rushed state I tried to get down the stairs but I missed one and as I braced for impact. I was waiting for the cold hard impact of the cold floor and laughing from the crowd but instead I felt warm calloused hands against my stomach and I heard the entire crowd taking in a deep breath. I looked behind me to see a ruffle of pink hair. I then looked in front of me to see a group of girls giving me the death glare. I saw one in particular… Lisanna, Natsu's girlfriend. I growled at him.

"Let me go!"

"But you will fall!?"

"I know that idiot, just let me go."

"But you'll get hurt." Natsu said with his voice full of concern.

"I don't care!" And honestly I didn't. I would rather get a face full of floor and be the laughing stock of the school for a few days then have to deal with Natsu's crazy fangirls for a few months.

"You're a weirdo Luigi."

I couldn't help but retort back, "It's Lucy thank you very much." I rolled my eyes but was stopped halfway when my face was met with the dusty dirty floor. The whole room erupted in laughter and I rubbed my face knowing it was going to bruise. I sat up and saw a hand being offered but once again it was Natsu. I pushed it away. "If I told you to drop me why would I want you to help me back up?"

"I was trying to help you weirdo." I rolled my eyes again and rubbed my face. I pushed my self up from the floor and started to walk over to Levy and Juvia who both had a worried look on their faces until I was once again stopped by a hand. I groaned and turned around.

"WHAT!?"

"Jeez calm your farm Luigi-"

"It's LUCY!"

"Oh hey Lucy nice to meet you I am Natsu." He did this massive grin and a could have sworn he had little fangs. As I stared more I was starting to realise he was actually quite cute but I shook my head to snap out of it, thinking back to his latest comment I hit my hand against my head.

"I know idiot… I think everyone knows your name. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get to class."

"You're not like most girls you know Lucy."

"Really Natsu, that cliché line, really?"

"Sorry couldn't think of anything else… anyway we should meet up sometime and get to know each other like-" He was interrupted by Lisanna calling him over. "oh well speak to you soon Luce."

I scoffed… again, like getting to know him was ever going to happen but, my eyes followed him against my will… No one had called me Luce in ages and I sure wasn't expecting him to say it.
