High School? That's no challenge!

"Oh boy..."

I said when I felt the first rays of the sun hit my face.I was always wondering why did the sun have to be so damn shiny and warm and annoying? I mused to myself thinking about stuff like that when I felt some kind of discomfort...yeah my bed wasn't supposed to be so cold and muddy. When I looked down to inspect why the best place of my house felt like a mudbath I realized that the place I was sleeping on definitely wasn't my bed actually it wasn't even my house beneath me there was only a carpet of grass with some roots extending from the soil ,that was when realization hit me. My eyes flew open and I tried to stand up but I instantly fell back feeling a terrible nausea envelop my body.I slumped back onto my butt and caressed my aching tummy but I sure as hell was wide awake right now.

I looked around to see that I was in the middle of a grassland probably somewhere on the outskirts of Magnolia and that there were at least four empty bottles scattered neatly around me.I looked down on myself and saw that my brown leather boots were like the sneakers of some old nomad shaman covered in dirt and with pieces of vegetation hanging from them. My shorts and T-shirt didn't look better either at least the shorts were made of jeans material so it wouldn't be really hard to get the impurity out of them and my shirt was a black one so that would pose no problems either .

I only felt something akin to real desperation when I looked at the delicate silver watch on my wrist which said that it was six in the morning.

"Oh great!-I cursed mentally-now the whole town can get a good look at me in this sorry state..."

And it was all thanks to that guy...that despicable asshole with his awesome and silky raven hair and that radiant smile and... I am getting all like a stupid lovesick loser again, great going me.

Oh, is it hard to follow the happenings? Well than let me explain a few things.

First of all my name is Lucy Heartfillia, a 18 years old girl attending Fairy Tail High in Magnolia. And yupp this is my last year of school. And once again yupp I just attended a great party yesterday hosted by one of my classmates Gajeel Redfox. Now comes the interesting part ,why am I here in the middle of a field with a terrible hangover at six in the morning? Well the answer to that is goddamn simple as well , it's the abomination many idiots, assholes and dolts with no social lives prefer to call "love". And the sorry excuse of a person I fell in love with? Well he is no other than the self-declared handsome prince and playboy of my high school Gray /Megadork/ Fullbuster.

Though the self-declared part is debatable since most of the female and at least a quarter of the male population is in love with that guy.

But well back to me...I have to get back home somehow.

" Man, my ass hurts like hell." I said and got up slowly.I also checked all of my stuff my black leather bag was next to me and when I looked through it I saw that everything was there in perfect condition, my briefcase, my keys, my ID and many less important things like lipstick, mascara, creams, a mirror, some gum and well...a few condoms.

Now please don't judge me okay? I had a really bad year full of some really bad mistakes but that will come later. I picked up the four bottles which were laying around and put them in my handbag thinking that since I was the idiot I should suffer not Mother Nature.I examined the field and saw that there was a dirt road leading back to town.I decided to hurry up before many people start their day and look at me like I am some sort of scum. My only luck was that today was a Saturday so not many people would be up at six o'clock. I slowly started walking down the road with my bag on my shoulders looking around to see if there was nobody here. But fortunately I was alone. Yeah alone again, this sure brings back memories. As I slowly neared the town I gradually drowned in my memories but right now I didn't mind at all maybe if I inspect my past again I'd find the mistakes which lead my life into this dump it is in right now.

I think it all started at the end of grade school. My parents got divorced and me and my mom Layla Heartfillia moved into the town of Magnolia in a small apartment which we rented for a small sum of money since it belonged to a relative. Back in the day things were really difficult for me. I was a twelve year old girl whose mom had to face some extreme financial difficulties due to the responsibility of raising a child all alone without a father. Add to this that I was an overweight brat, I weighed 92 kg. Of course everyone in my class ridiculed me it was hell on Earth really. But all of that changed when I entered high school. I decided that my life is going to take a whole new direction and that this time everything will go my way. During the summer before the start of school I started an extreme weight loss program. I went jogging every morning and evening and I ate nothing except a small portion of salad each day. After two months I already lost one third of my weight I was only 62 kg and i felt wonderful. Add to this that I was tall for a girl , a 175 cm's so I looked quite slim and due to the tedious exercise I did my skin fit my new frame nicely as well.

My mom also got used to being a single parent and she finally ordered the court to make my father pay allimony which he refused to do before. So because of this I could also buy some new and nice clothes, make-up and I could go to a hairdresser and a beautician once every month. Life looked great. Two people came with me to high school from my old primary school one of them my rival but also great friend Erza Scarlet the other one a sly and disgusting guy called Jellal. Jellal was what you'd call a two faced snake. He acted like some sort of little angel but in reality he was the worst of the worse and he played a big part in completely ruining my life later on. But that will come at the end of my story, fact is those two didn't manage to recognize me during the initiation due to my change into a top quality beauty. Everything went perfectly I think.

My class was a cool one but sadly like all good classes there were those few who only enjoyed fucking up people's lives and destroying the self-esteem and happiness of others. One of them was Juvia Loxer, a disgusting girl who when she entered school seemed pretty decent at first but she herself gradually ruined that image. She lost a lot of weight during the first year to appeal to the guys especially her crush, my classmate and waterpolo player Gray Fullbuster. But things didn't really work out for her I guess. So instead of longing for Gray all the time she got herself a nauseating boyfriend called Eric who was from another school. But she never gave up on Gray. If any of the girls wanted to get close to him she'd turn their friends against them, steal their money ,spread rumors and so on. The same was true when a guy wanted to get close to Gray with the addition of a healthy portion of gay-bashing she tried to give them. Another reason why I hated her. Juvia and Jellal were really the unparalleled lowlives of our class but fortunately the majority of good people completely outweighed them. I had special relations with many people there. For example there was Natsu , a pinkette football player who was gay and in love with his best friend Gray. Our friendship started when Juvia made a nasty remark about gay people in the cafeteria to hurt Natsu and to get him away from Gray when I accidentally rammed into her with my tray and spilled all of my food onto her ugly mug. Well yeah... there was no need for words Natsu and I became allies and friends but sadly he had to go. He was given a scholarship in America and he flied away which made everyone incredibly sad. All the people in our class loved him except Juvia and there I was with one friend less. But things still looked great I managed to get really close with Erza, even closer than in grade school and I also befriended a studious and religious girl , Levi. Not to mention Mirajane, my idol in class and her friends Cana and Evergreen. Mira's twin sister Lisanna also trusted me very much so I repeat life was great. That is until the last year.

Yes the famed last year, this year I am living right now in which my life kind of collapsed.

It all started with a cursed language exam. In my class everyone already did their language exams with the exception of me and Gray Fullbuster, the idol of all sentinent beings. I was too lazy to do it, my language skills were superb and I knew that for me this whole thing would be a piece of cake. Gray was also good at languages , not as good as me though but he was also an extremely lazy person. So when it was only the two of us that didn't have the certificate , he proposed that we go together. I think my life went down the drain when I accepted that offer. No matter how much I hate him I must admit that Gray is the best man in this world. Most people who fall for him only learned to love his looks. His broad shoulders, his tall frame, his handsome and manly face but I was different. During all those afternoons we spent together practicing foreign languages I got to know him. For three years I haven't really spoken to him but this fourth year I saw his soul and it was beautiful. Since the divorce of my parents I didn't trust men, I believed that they are all despicable, vile creatures who don't even have the right to live. All they do is cheat on women and use them for their selfish little plays of lust and greed. Gray was different , he had a stable relationship with a girl called Ultear for four years, in the autumn of this year Ultear cheated on him , four times with three different guys in a week. Gray was downstruck , he felt lonely and disappointed and when he told me about this during one of our sessions I couldn't help myself and I hugged him. I guess that was the point when the ice coating on my heart broke. I felt the warmth of his body, the grip of his arms and his face when he nuzzled into my neck...and I fell in love. Even after we completed the exam Gray would cling to me, he'd show me the books he loved and he'd recommend me to read them. He'd bring me coffee in school every morning and he'd share half of his own coffee with me. These were small gestures but I was getting more and more lost in him, in his eyes and in his kindness. The final act was though when he gave me his scarf on Christmas and I gave him mine that was the happiest moment of my life I think...and than everything burned to the ground. Juvia sensing that I felt something for Gray and that he probably felt something as well intervened. Gray was on really good terms with her and considered her a close friend even though he didn't accept her love.

And Juvia used that he believed her to be his friend. She started spreading nasty rumors about me, telling everyone that I was a whore and even listed the people I have "slept with". Also whenever Gray would come near me she'd appear everywhere all the time and make sarcastic remarks. For example once when Gray gave me coffee she once again appeared out of thin air and chymed in in that terribly high pitched and annoying voice of hers.

"WELL AREN'T YOU TWO LOVEY DOVEY? Just don't forget Gray that's the same how it started with Ultear!"

Yes, remarks like those hurt Gray incredibly and he associated them with me since he'd always get a few from Juvia whenever he was around me, so he gradually distanced himself from me to the level where he wouldn't even give a greeting . And I think that than something broke within me. I despaired and I completely lost it for a few weeks. I was a wreck, a walking disaster but the worst was yet to come. Jellal "befriended" Gray and taught him the noble art of seducing women. Since that time Gray would show up at clubs with one night stands never twice with the same girl and hell he even had a constant sex partner in a different city. Whom he'd always bitch about saying how he missed her and all even though he just made out with some ugly chick the day before. It felt like my world was burning and I couldn't do anything about it. Not to mention that my friends all got happy and wonderful relationships thus completely forgetting that I even existed. They tried to stand beside me and help me when they weren't kissing with their partners though but I didn't really want to confess the hurt Gray had caused me to anyone. This state lasted until May, that was when I officially had enough. I had enough of Gray Macho Fullbuster, Juvia Splittongue Loxar and Jellal Dickface Hernandez. And the ice coating on my heart returned like it had never been removed. I deleted Gray's number from my cellphone, blocked him on facebook and so on. And happiness returned to my life and lookie here comes a plot twist again. The day before yesterday on the morning of a beautiful June day I got a message from a certain raven saying that he wants to go to the same university for chemical engineering as me and that he'd like to rent an apartment together.

At first I just burst out laughing and than after some hours of hysterical laughing I started to cry.

How dare he do this to me? How dare he propose this kind of bullshit after not talking for four months?Is that guy completely insane or does he want to add me to his constant sex partners?

And the most pathetic thing was that it made me happy. An offer to live as his personal expandable toy, a puppet whore who was there for nothing but for being used by him...this kind of life seemed like a heavenly bliss. And I despised myself for it. The reply given to him said that I'll think about his offer. And from here on anyone could guess the events. I went to that party last night, got greeted by him with a warm smile since he was also there and than I took a few bottles of vodka and ran off into the wilderness.

The aching of my numb legs awoke me from my train of thoughts when I arrived at the gates of Magnolia. With a heavy I sigh I mumbled.

"Well, here goes nothing!"
