UNEPECTED MUSE

BY: THE OBSERVER

Lucy looked back at the clock. The stupid thing was still pionting at the same time as when she looked at it before. She let out a soft groan. She was so close to being free from this prison people called a school and she couldnt wait to get home to the seclusion of bedroom where she could block out her problems through writing and music. she looked back toward the front of the classroom watching the teacher write on the board. She could barley even make out what she was writing the handwritng was so awful. Lucy laid her head down on her desk. 'Only 8 more months than I'll be free of this place and these imbaceles' ,she thought to herself. lucy was a seinor at FairyTail highschool. The school was known to most for its excellent students and to others for its rowdy attitude. Almost all the students ,wether they had straight A's or all F's,had fought at least once either on campus or close by. That was one of things she hated about this place. Everywhere you looked you'd see some rowdy trouble maker trying to start soemthing . Not that she had any right to complain. She had her fair share of fights and squables as well. 'But mine are completely justified', she told herself. She sighed and looked back at the clock. She smiled and just than the bell rang. She quickly grabbed her bag and ran out of the room in record time. She practically sprinted to her locker only slowing down for a minute when one of the hallmoniters caught her attention.

Once she reached her locker she quickly put away her books and grabbed her belongings. When she closed the locker door she was greeted with the biggest smile she'd ever seen. Standing before her was her one and only friend Levy Mcgarden. Her blue hair viberent as ever and held back in its usual orange headband. She giggled a little when she looked at her friend.

"I dont think I've ever seen you this desperate to leave before." the blunette said through her giggles.

Lucy just frowned and looked to make sure her locker was secure before turning back to giggling bluenette.

"Well believe it or not todays been worse than usual.", she said calmly.

The bluenette giggled some more while the two quickly fell in line with eachother as they made there way out of the building.

" Let me guess," Levy said saddly," was bugging you again about the writing contest wasnt he?".

Lucy looked back at her friend with a deep scowl wrtiten on her face. " Yep, and as usual I politley declined." she said deifiantly.

Levy let another gigle escape. " Oh yeah and which politle respnse did you give him this time?",she questioned.

Levy knew better then anyone that the blonde had a mouth on her and wasn't too polite when it came to the teachers at school. Epsecially the english techer who was constantly bugging her.

" I simply told him that wether or not I enter is my buisness and that should he ask me again I would have no choice but to tell Cana about what we both saw last friday. " she said with a smile.

Levy gasped. "Lucy! You could get in serious trouble for blackmailing a teacher over something as trivial as them asking you about entering a contest!",she practically screamed at her blonde friend.

"Then he would have to explain why exactly he was practically eating Ms. Dougins in the art room know wouldn't he?" she calmly replied.

The bluenette just stared wide eyed at her blonde best friend. She may have known Lucy since they started highschool but she still didnt know how she could be so outgoing and risky all the time. Levy sighed.

" I guess your right." she said.

There was no way she would be able to convince lucy to try a different approach to getting their english teacher to give her a break. Both girls came to a stop once they reached the crosswalk. They stayed quiet while they waited for the light to turn green then quickly made their way across the busy road. Once across they kept their peaceful silence and slowly made the familar way to the shop where they both worked. They stopped outside a small old-fashioned, brick building. They both looked at eachother with smiling faces an opened the double doors that led to the only store they both loved.
