The wind blew softly and the leaves of the trees moved accordingly. The few clouds in the sky were scattered taking different shapes each time the wind grew stronger. Under the sky in the endless grass there was a giant tree that stood alone, far from the short trees. The tree was about six meters tall and its trunk's width was 1 meter long. It was gorgeous. Its branches were thick and strong, and its leaves' shadow covered a great spot in the grass. That tree was the reason why I entered this middle school. Now that I think about it back then I was not happy to enter this middle school. But when we came to see how it was and my dad was talking to the principal I wandered around the school and found this place. I felt calmness and that night when we were having dinner I told my dad that I wanted to go to that middle school. At first he was surprised by my sudden change, but he agreed since this middle school had all the academic requirements he expected. Now I really like this place and I want to stay here, but you don't always get what you want. I walked toward the tree and sat down with my back resting in its big trunk. Today was going to be my last day here. I couldn't stop thinking and remembering. I've made good friends and memories, but today we are all saying goodbye and parting different ways. We'll have to decide which highschool to get in and make new friends. I do not want to make new friends. The ones I have now are great and all of them live near this school and my house. This year my dad wants me to go to a boarding school located in a city called Magnolia. My new highschool is called Fairy Tail and it is really far away from the city I'm currently living in. Four hours by plane and much more time by land. I've told my dad how much I want to stay here and attend the highschool most of my friends are going to, but he said that that highshcool does not have good teachers and as a result not a "good education". I really want to stay here…
-Hey Luuuuucy! The closing ceremony will start soon! – I opened my eyes to see who was grabbing my cheeks in that way to anger me, but I already knew that it was Levy. She had come to get me just in time. Levy was one of my closest and noisiest friends. Her eyes looked at me while shining and her smile was going to reach her ears soon. The truth is that she is really happy about entering highschool, unlike me. She has always dreamt about becoming more adult or something like that which I can't really understand. She still doesn't know that I'm not going to stay here. In fact I have not told anyone in my class about this. I wonder how will she react, will she be sad?
- Okay! I'm going, so stop grabbing my cheeks like this! - I yelled.
- You don't have to get so mad, it was just a joke! - She complained while letting go of my cheeks. Actually she always does this because she knows that I find it annoying, and who wouldn't! I mean, it hurts!
- Whatever, let's hurry or we are not going to make it in time! – I stood up and we began running towards the main hall were we had all the important events, announcements and so on. When we arrived all the other students were already sitting down on the organized chairs and listening to the teacher's speech. We walked silently and carefully trying to not interrupt and sat down on the empty chairs in the back row. The speech wasn't so long, but it made us feel sad and a little bit nostalgic about the old times. Some people cried, but just for a moment since they knew that they were going to see each other in highshcool. I did not cry, but deep inside a feeling of emptiness and sadness didn't leave my heart. I had lump in my throat. When the teacher finished her speech she began calling our names one by one. I saw how my classmates stood up and walked towards her to receive a diploma. Soon, it was my turn. I stood up and walked towards her as my name got called out. I received the diploma from her hands and a hug like the other students.
- Good luck. – She told me as I began walking towards the exit. I looked around through the back chairs were the parents sat to see if my dad had come, but as I had expected he did not come. After this we'll have like 2 weeks of vacation since in my country, Fiore, the new scholar year starts at the beginning of the second week of April, in spring and it ends one week before March ends. It seems though, but we have a vacation of about forty days between semesters (in summer) and winter holidays (about ten days). I really would like to have more vacation, but it seems that these days the schools like to create studying machines instead of happy and free children. This morning Levy told me that the whole class is going to celebrate in the afternoon, and I ended up saying I would go because she insisted that I had to. I'm really not in the mood to celebrate because I see this as a sad thing not something to celebrate, but this might be the last time I see all my classmates so I am glad I accepted. The meeting was going to be at seven p.m. in a karaoke room that they had already reserved. It was already six p.m. so I put on some skinny jeans and a white sweater because the night was a little bit cold. I prefer to put on a sweater instead of wearing a t-shirt and carrying a jacket around. I put on my favorite black converse and went out at 6: 20 p.m. I arrived three minutes earlier, but everyone was already there. They were eager to celebrate. My dad does not like me to go hang with friends, but since this was special for me he let me go. That is what he said, but I think is because he feels a little bit guilty for sending me to another city.
- Hi Lucy! What's up? – The high pitch voice of my friend resounded in my ears almost leaving me deaf. She certainly liked to annoy me.
- Nothing, just that my ears hurt! – Levy, she always makes me overreact! I think I'm a quite normal and calm person, but she is just too much for me!
- Calm down, you always overreact.-
- Really? I was just thinking that you are the person who always makes me overreact! – She began to laugh and I did too. After all I wouldn't stick around a person I don't like. I went around greeting my classmates and I finally sat down next to Eve. He was a nice guy, but he always said cheesy things to all of the girls which makes me feel uncomfortable around him. Even though Levy got along well with him.
- Hi Lucy, you are really beautiful today and your golden hair is shining as always. – Well, maybe now you understand why I feel a little bit uncomfortable around him. Most of my class is already fifteen years old except Levy, we aren't kids anymore. But that doesn't really mean he has to say those cheesy lines to all the girls he sees.
- … Um ...thanks Eve…. - I guess he noticed that I felt uncomfortable because he continued flirting with the other girl that sat beside him. My other classmates had order many food for the occasion so I began to eat some as the others were singing. Levy came and sat by my side so we began to talk. I prefer to stay here and talk or eat because since I was little I've been tone deaf. Really, I wouldn't like to sing…
- Hey guys, how are you doing?!- Levy had stood up and grabbed the microphone. As always, she liked to be the one to run the show. But she didn't like to be the one on the show. She picked other people to do funny things. Everyone screamed in positive response.
- Now, I have seen that most of you have already sang, but there is still people who have not. So, why don't we choose someone who hasn't? – Oh no. I did not like how this was going to turn out.
- I propose we choose our golden hair fellow, Lucy! – You really have a big mouth Levy.
- Yes Lucy! We want to hear your angel like voice! – Eve screamed and winked at Levy who winked back. The two of them were complies always and they know how to make the class agree. Everyone began screaming "Lucy! Lucy! Lucy!" Now they've really done it. I did not want to do this, but everyone pushed me and Levy passed me the microphone. What a perfect to say goodbye to my classmates! Now they are going to know I'm tone deaf. - Sigh….well…here it goes… - I opened my mouth and was going to begin singing, but suddenly the door fell down and someone landed unconscious on the ground. He hadn't landed there on purpose it seemed like someone had punched him with such a force that he had broken our karaoke room door. It seemed like a serious fight, but to me the person who had punched him and caused him to interrupt my singing, was definitely my savior.
My pink haired savior entered the room while pointing at the person who was lying on the ground and declaring. – You shouldn't have picked a fight with me bastard! –
