They might even become more...

* Lucy's Point of View *

BEEP

"ugh.."

BEEP

I turn over in my bed. Not even daring to open my eyes, afraid of losing my precious sleeping time.

BEEP

"UGH CAN YOU JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!"

I say while slamming my hand on my phone, successfully turning of my phone alarm. I roll over to face my phone, trying to see the time, when I realized what happened, it was too late. I FELL OFF MY BED. I land on my butt with a loud plop.

"ow.." I say rubbing my butt. I reach for my phone to look at the time. '5:00 am... I have exactly 1 hour to get ready before dad and that evil witch wakes up' I say to myself mentally, shaking at the thought of my dad seeing me up late.

Oh yeah, I never introduced myself. Im Lucy Heartfilia! Today is actually one of the worst days of my life. The first day of my second year of High School. The long summer break is over. I had a horrible year actually... I got bullied a lot last year at my old school, Sabertooth High. My dad never really cared, and cares even less after meeting the real life devil herself, my step-mother, Miranda. I hate her with a passion. I can't explain why, I just do.

Anyway, my father and Miranda said that we were moving to this town called Magnolia. Of course, that means I have to switch High Schools; again.. Let's just say I switched schools a lot due to bullying, I was surprised that my dad cared but he really only did it because he had the money to switch me from school to school. I really had no friends at Sabertooth, if you consider the ones that pick you to be their project partner because your one of the smarter kids in class, then you would be right. I had a ton of fake friends. They would use me for a project, and then let me do all the work. I mean like juST BECAUSE IM SMART DOESNT MEAN I LIKE STUDYING, HOMEWORK, PROJECTS, AND ALL THAT. That's just what my classmates thougt. I was bullied everyday. There was one day where I was bullied horribly though. It happened on the last week of school..

*Flash Back*

Lucy was walking down the hallways of Sabertooth High, clutching her books tightly to her chest. It was their last week of school and everyone was happy, except Lucy.. The bullying got worse.

Trying to ignore the glares and rude remarks coming from the other students, Lucy made her way back to her locker. As she approached it, the worst bully if them all came up to Lucy with his girlfriend, Angel, slammed his fist down on the locker blocking Lucy from opening it. She looked down to the ground, scared to meet his terrifying gaze. This person was Jackel (Jack for short).

"Hey slut, need something from your locker?" He said, looking into her eyes. She could see the mischief passing through them.

"U-um I-i do actually. S-s-so could you p-please m-move?" She said, cursing herself for stuttering and looking weak infront of him. Lucy didn't like being bullied, but she didn't do anything about it. Why? Well she knew if she stood up to them, the bullying would be worse. She did not want that. So she looked up and gave him a soft- fake smile.

Jack looked down at the blonde. Disgust passing through his yellow eyes. He looked at his friends behind him. He nodded at them, and they did the same back. As Jack let go of her locker, she went to open it and turned around. BAD choice. One of Jack's friends came up behind her, grabbed her arms and held them behind her back so she couldn't move. Lucy let out a yelp of pain. Jack didn't seem amused by this. So he walked up to his friend holding the blonde girl.

"Maybe this will teach you not to smile at me you ugly bitch." He said, kicking her right in the middle of her stomach, knocking the wind out of her. She fell to her knees as her captivator let her go, and she fell to the floor clutching her stomach having a coughing fit.

He then grabbed her by her blonde locks, and dragged her to an empty classroom. When they reached the door, he threw her inside, watching as she crashed into one of the dusty desks.

"Angel baby, can you deal with this bitch? I have to go." He said to his girlfriend sweetly while giving her a peck on the lips, which she returned. The girl named Angel nodded as a response, and made her way to the blonde girl trying to catch her breath in the middle of the abandoned classroom

When she got to Lucy, she kicked her in the stomach while blurting out any random insults she could think of.

KICK

"slut"

KICK

"whore"

KICK

"just kill yourself already"

KICK

"no one likes you"

KICK

"bitch"

KI-

just as Angel was about to do another kick to the blonde girl, said girl grabbed Angels foot, making her fall to the ground. At first Angel was angry and wanted to beat the hell out of this girl for making her fall, but she saw Jack making his way back to the classroom. She smirked at Lucy and put on a fake pout and 'cried'.

Upon hearing that, Jack ran into the classroom and approached Angel.

"Angel baby what happened?" he said, glaring at the now panting Lucy.

"S-she g-g-grabbed my f-foot an-and *sniff* made me *sniff* fall. WAAAHHHH~" she said, clinging onto Jack as if she was a little girl crying to her mother and father. Jack gave Lucy the darkest glare, and she swore she could see a murderous aura surrounding him. He slowly got up, his bangs covering his eyes iin the process, and walked over to Lucy.

Feeling true panic, Lucy scooted back until she eventually met the wall, cowering, trying to make herself smaller under Jack's killer glare. When he got to her, he grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the wall, strangling her. As she was chocking, he could feel her hands clawing at hands to release her. Jack reached to his back pocket and pulled out a switch-blade, holding it against her stomach looking her dead in the eye.

"Make my baby cry again and you will regret it.." He said in a low growl. Then he took the switch-blade and jabbed it into the blonde girls stomach. Her eyes widened in pain, and her mouth opened to let out an ear-piercing scream.

"AHHHHHHH-" was all she could get out as a hand covered her mouth. Jack released the blonde girl from his steel grip while still covering her mouth with his hand. He wrenched the blade out of the girls stomach. Causing her to have a muffled scream in his hand. He smirked at how the tears flowed freely from her eyes.

He released his hand from her mouth and crouched down to her eye level. Giving the coldest and most serious glare he could, he only told her one thing before walking away.

"You fell down on your way home got it? Tell anyone what actually happened and your a dead girl bitch."

She nodded her head so quickly she thought her neck might snap. Jack gave her one last glare as he stood up and picked up Angel, walking out of the classroom, slamming the door behind him. Lucy sat there, clutching her stomach as tears burned the back of her eyes.

She finally let them go and tears ran freely down her face almost like a waterfall. She was in so much pain that she didn't realize that he cut her forehead too, as blood ran down her face, mixing with her tears. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was 5:00. School let out an hour ago. She breathed out a long sigh as she made her way to her backpack, wincing at the incredible pain her forehead and stomach were giving off. She made her way to the door, limping her way back home.

- Time Skip. Lucy's house -

When she walked in, her father didn't even acknowledge her beaten up state. She limped upstairs all the way to her room, grabbing a medical kit on the way.

She sat on her bed, patching and treating her wounds as silent tears rolled down her cheeks.

* End of Flashback *

I shivered at that memory instantly clutching my stomach. I then went and grabbed my phone. I read it and my eyes almost came out of my head and I threw my phone back on my bed. IT WAS 5:30! I scrambled to the bathroom, throwing my clothes of in the process, and jumped in the shower, taking the quickest one I have ever taken, in a mere 10 minutes. I got out of the shower, brushing my hair and drying it quickly, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around myself and running into my room. I rushed to my closet and pulled out my new Fairy Tail uniform. My father had ordered it for me after I got accepted to Fairy Tail.

After quickly putting on my uniform, I put on a little makeup. After that, I put my hair in a side ponytail. Then I headed downstairs and put on my shoes. I check my phone again. '6:15.. good I still have 15 minutes until dad wakes up!" With that thought in mind, I grab my school bag with some notebooks and other things for class, get a piece of toast, and rush out the door. I didn't bother leaving a note, Miranda is too busy with dad for him to even notice I'm gone.

As I'm walking down the street, I end up at this park. I don't know how I got here but I decide to stay awhile since I can see the school from here anyway. As I'm walking through the park, I notice two boys sitting near the fountain. Same uniform, just baggier. One has blonde hair with a scar on his eyebrow, with green eyes. The other one has jet black hair with a scar across the bridge of his nose, and red eyes. 'both kinda cute I might add' I mentally slap myself. Boys like them don't go for girls like me. I sigh and end my thoughts there and decided to go talk to them.

"Hi, my names Lucy Heartfilia, I'm new in town and I was wondering if you could show me the way to Fairy Tail High?" I said innocently. I know exactly where I'm going, but who could pass up this opportunity!

"Oh hey, my names Sting," he says, then points to the black haired boy "and this is my brother Rouge." The guy named Sting says, and smiled the most GORGEOUS smile might I add. Rouge just gives me a polite nod, which I return back. Then I look back at the one named Sting.

"Sorry for asking but do you go to Fairy Tail? I see we have the same uniforms and I'm curious." I say, trying to give the best smile I can. Sting smiles back at me and says "Yeah Rouge and I both go to Fairy Tail. We're both third years though, what about you?"

My smile drops a bit. I was kinda sad that we're in different grades but at least they go to my school! "I'm a second year sadly.. I transfered here from Sabertooth. I was wondering if you could show me the way." He smiles at me again while saying a quick "Sure." and turning around while walking towards the school.

Time Skip. At Fairy Tail *

Sting, Rouge, and I all arrive at the front gates of Fairy Tail. My eyes widen in shock. This place was HUGE. While looking around, I spot a fluff of blue hair walking past me to get to the enterance of the school. She's reading a book called 'Romeo and Juliet'. Then she bumps into me, I hear a mumbled "Im sorry." I COULD RECOGNIZE THAT VOICE ANYWHERE!

"LEVY-CHAN?!" I yell in shock in surprise. Said girl turns around and her eyes widen to the size of saucers.

"LU-CHAN!?" Levy and I run and give eachother a tight hug. Sting watching from afar smirked while Rouge just looked away. Soon the boys left, leaving a very excited Levy and I.

After a tight hug, me and Levy ended up walking and talking to the prinicples office while we went to get my schedule.

When we made it to the principles office, we saw a very pretty women sitting at a desk, typing away busily on her computer. She had long white hair with a little ponytail to keep her bangs out of her face, and she looked to be about in her 20's. This women was drop dead GORGEOUS. That's all I thought when we walked up to her. Of course Levy was first to speak to her.

"Hey Mira-san! My friend Lucy was wondering if she could get her schedule. She's new here by the way." Levy said smiling at the girl supposedly named Mira. Mira turned around and looked at Levy, then back at me. She nodded with a smile and walked to get my schedule. We stood there for a few seconds until Mira finally came back with a paper in her hand. She hands it to me and smiles. I smile back. 'It's like her smile is contagious!' I thought.

"Here you are Lucy! You're homeroom teacher is Mr. Gildarts, and the rest is on your schedule! Good luck." She said smiling at me. I smile back and then say a quick "Thank you!" before turning back to Levy who has a big smile on her face. I turn to her and say while laughing, "What's wrong Levy-chan? You're face looks weird!" she playfully slaps me. "We have the same homeroom Lu-chan!!" She says cheerfully. I smile widely and before we stepped out of the principles office, Mira calls me back.

"LUCY!" she calls. I turn and cock my head to the side, telling her to keep speaking. She smiles and says:

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!"
