Hello peoples! So here is the ever so popular concept of the Fairy Tail gang going to high school. Hope you enjoy :D
Lucy stepped off the airplane and looked around, trying to figure out what life might be like here.
"Miss Lucy, are you ready?" an unfamiliar face asked her.
"As I'll ever be," she sighed and stepped inside of the limo.
After one too many fights with her father, he decided to end her private studies and send her to a boarding school.
On the other side of the country.
"So this is Magnolia," she looked outside the window.
"That's correct, madam," her driver said. "The boarding school you will be attending is about a half hour away from the city."
"Joy," she mumbled.
It was just another way for Jude to put his daughter in "storage" until he needed her to marry some son of another rich company and have babies.
Lucy hated her father.
She thought that maybe he was alright before, but sending her off to some boarding school thousands of miles away from home was the straw that broke the camel's back. The fight that caused this happened about eight months ago. He tried to send her sooner, but she needed to finish up her current school year first. So the morning after she took her last exam, she was on the private plane flying far away from home.
The heiress was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't even realize that they were pulling up to the school. Luckily, no one was around. Literally.
Her bags were being unloaded from the car and she looked around for a moment. Dorms looked like they were on the right and left side of the campus, and the actual school was in the center. Behind that, she couldn't tell.
"Here you are, Miss," the driver, whose name Lucy still didn't know, presented her bags to her. "Would you like assistance with them?"
"No thanks, I got them," the last thing she wanted to do was to be known as the girl with help. Honestly, it was a miracle that no one was outside to see her getting out of a limo.
"As you wish. I'll be off then, best of luck to you, Miss Heartfilia," he tipped his cap and walked towards the door.
"Wait! What's your name?"
"Samuel. Why do you ask?"
"Thank you, Samuel."
"You're quite welcome," he got in the car and drove off.
Lucy grabbed her bags and managed to walk up the steps with them. The cool air conditioning greeted her once she walked through the doors.
"Can I help you?" an older lady was sitting behind the desk.
"Hi. I'm new here, my name is Lucy," she glanced around to make sure no one was there. "Heartfilia."
"Oh my!" the woman stood up and rushed over to her, motioning to take her luggage. "Let me take those for you, ma'am!"
This always happens. Anywhere she goes, as soon as someone hears her last name, they start fawning over her. She hated it, she just wanted to be treated like a normal person.
"No, no, it's fine, really. I would just like to know which dorm room is mine."
"My apologies, let me just go check," she walked back behind the counter and started typing things into the computer. "You're in the girls dorms, obviously, and your room is number 237."
"May I ask, is there anything… special about that room?"
The woman, whose name is Penelope according to her name tag, furrowed her eyebrows at her.
"Not that I know of, all of the dorms are the same. They're all single dorms with private bathrooms, a small kitchen, walk in closets, a living area, a bedroom, and some more things. Why do you ask?"
"I just… I don't want to be treated as someone special and wait – those are normal dorm rooms?!" Lucy knew that dorms weren't supposed to be nice, and these sounded luxurious.
"Yes, they all just got remodeled. As well as the school. Thanks to a rather generous donation from your father."
She clenched her teeth and slammed her hand on the desk.
"I can't get away from him, can I?! I'm across the country and he still finds ways to infuriate me!" when she looked up, Penelope had a horrified look on her face. "I'm sorry. Can we just forget the last few minutes ever happened?"
"Sure," she smiled sympathetically at her.
"May I speak to the Headmaster? I need to talk to him about something."
"Of course, here is your room key," she handed Lucy a key before walking to another room. "If you need an extra, just come ask."
"Ok," she played with the key in her hands before she heard her name.
With her bags behind her, she walked behind the desk and towards the person calling her name.
"Headmaster Marakov is waiting," she gestured towards a room.
"Thank you. Oh, and would you mind keeping my identity a secret? I don't want anyone to know who I really am."
"Of course, have a good day."
"You too," Lucy watched her walk away and turned towards the door. Slowly she put her hand on the handle and opened it.
"Hello?" she peaked her head in.
"Ah, yes, come in," a voice came from inside.
Putting her bags in the corner, she closed the door and looked around.
"I don't mean to be rude, but um… where are you?" the room honestly looked like it was empty.
"I'm sorry, I forget sometimes," a small man came from behind the desk. "I'm extremely short."
She didn't respond, all she could do was try to wrap her head around the fact that this old man was about two feet tall.
"Well, Miss Lucy, please sit," he pointed to a chair and she took a seat.
Headmaster Marakov disappeared behind his desk and jumped up to his chair.
"So, what can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if my identity could remain a secret. You see, I've never been to a real school before. I would like people to get to know me for me, not for my family's name."
"I see," he rubbed his chin. "Alright, that seems fine."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. I just need a last name for you to come up with, you do need a last name."
"Hmm…" Lucy scratched the back of her head while thinking. "Ashley. Lucy Ashley."
"That sounds real to me. This is how it's going to work… just become Lucy Ashley. We'll take care of the rest. Put 'Lucy Ashley' on your tests, introduce yourself to people as 'Lucy Ashley', simple as that."
"Thank you, Headmaster Marakov. This means a lot to me," she smiled.
"You can just call me Master," he explained. "You best be off to your dorm then. Classes start in two days, you need to get acquainted to the grounds."
"Thanks again!" she waved then grabbed her bags and left.
After wandering around a little bit, she saw a building that said 'GIRLS DORMS'. She walked in and realized that it was a huge two story dorm. Seeing the elevator, she went right past it and found the stairs. Even with her heavy bags, she was going to do it.
Ever since her father told her about the boarding school, she started exercising like crazy to let out her anger. They got into daily fights, and then Lucy would go running for an hour to get away from him. Then it became two hours, then three, until finally Lucy realized that she was nothing but skin and bones. Well, and boobs.
After that, she started doing some strength training. Her father prohibited it, saying that girls shouldn't have muscles. This only made her want to do it more. She found that punching a boxing bag got a lot of her anger out, plus it built up her arm muscles.
In other words, Lucy was ripped. You couldn't see her actual muscles, but she was lean and had a metabolism that was insane. So running up the stairs with her bags, not a big deal.
Room 237 was in the middle of the hall. She put the key in its slot, and turned it until she heard the door unlock. When she opened it up, she saw what Penelope was talking about.
The dorm room was stunning.
She dropped her bags at the door, and explored a bit. A small kitchen, living room, TV, bedroom, bathroom, it was all amazing. A piece of paper was on the table, and she picked it up. It said 'Lucy' on it. Out of curiosity, she opened it.
Lucy,
I hope you've found your way to the school alright. Please know that I am only doing what's best for you. I believe that you will come around to your responsibility as a woman eventually –
She crumpled up the piece of paper and threw it into the trash.
"I hate him!" she punched the pillow on the bed, not wanting to destroy her new living space.
Once she was done seething with rage, she unpacked her suitcase.
Although she was furious that he donated money, and a lot of it, to this school it was… actually kind of nice. The rooms were great, the school was probably amazing with new technology, and she couldn't even think about the sports.
That's what she wanted to do, join a sports team. Or two. After her dad told her about the school, the one thing she was looking forward to, other than getting far away from him, was getting involved in athletics. She never had before, so that would be nice. And make friends, she had never done that either.
She plugged her MP3 into speaker by the TV and set it to shuffle while she continued to unpack.
It took about three hours to fully unpack everything, including the things that her father already sent over beforehand. Lucy was about to sit down, until she heard someone knocking. Switching off the music, she opened the door.
"Hi," she smiled at the person.
Mission: Make a friend.
Status: Accomplished.
Soooo? How was it? Come on, I know you want to tell me in the review box down below ^.^
