Chapter 2
As Lucy walks towards her next class, which was music, she hears some girls squeal. She looks over to the crowded area to find fangirls crowding around one guy. That man was the playboy, who was famous in Fairy Tail high, named 'Loke'.
"Girls calm down! I have enough time for all of you!" Loke says proudly as he flickes his hair. He sparkles brightly at the other girls making them scream apart from Lucy. He throws a sweet smile at Lucy and she just flat ignores him and continues to walk towards her classroom.
"Lucy wait!" Loke runs after Lucy obviously upset about her weak reaction. She stops, turns around and gives him a blank stare.
"Do you want to hang out with me during lunch? Between you and me, I'm sure me and you can be close friends." Loke grins at her trying to impress her. Lucy shook her head, still expressionless, meaning 'No' and opened the door to her music classroom. Loke cries comical tears from Lucy just leaving him hanging.
Lucy walks into her almost empty classroom. She did only have four people in her class and they were Jellal, Laxus, Freed plus herself. She sat down on the chair in front of the piano. She was about to play a tune until Lyra, the music teacher, came in.
"Alright! Please take your seats!" Lyra chirps as she twirls into the classroom. "I have a request for all of you!" Lyra claps her hands together and smiles brightly at her students. Lucy looked at her teacher thinking that this request is probably going to be a performance.
"I want you guys to perform in front of the whole school! We got a complaint from a student saying how are class is probably fooling around most of the time because of our numbers. That is why I want to prove to all of the haters how awesome we are!" Lyra holds up a peace sign at her students but they didn't look impressed.
"Can we not perform?" Laxus says calmly with his arms folded. "It's quite troublesome" Electricity starts to flow around Laxus's body but Lyra doesn't flinch. Instead she grits her teeth.
"NO! I want to show the school how cool you guys are!" Lyra flails her arms like a child. Lucy laughed inside her head at the image she was viewing right now. Lucy puts her hand up to her mouth resisting the urge to laugh. Jellal observes Lucy, she looks 'sick' since she was shaking and she had her hand up to her mouth.
"Are you alright?" Jellal looks at Lucy. Lucy looks back at Jellal and waves her hand at him saying 'it's okay'.
"I'm fine…" Lucy mutters quietly to Jellal.
"I see" Jellal responds. People would think that Jellal and Lucy would get along well together since both of them are quiet and shy but the truth is they aren't friends. Jellal finds it difficult to start a conversation with her.
"So the two shy one's are finally talking huh?" Laxus looks into her eyes and smirks. Lucy blinks at him and shrug not knowing why he commented on that. Laxus suddenly laughs and looks sharply into Lyra's eyes.
"Fine. I will play. Only if I can hear everyone play once on their instrument." Laxus offers to her. Lyra looks pleadingly into Lucy, Jellal and Freed.
"Fine. I will play." Freed sighs, picks up a clarinet and prepares to play (The Autumn cannon ball, clarinet). He closes his eyes and starts to perform. When he plays the clarinet it was if his feelings were being converted into music. Lucy who was immersed in his music was having lots of fun. She smiles slightly and closes her eyes savoring the sound of the clarinet, tasting every bit of it.
As Freed finishes off, everyone in the room claps. "Nice one Freed." Laxus said as he high fives Freed. He looks into Jellal's eyes signaling him that he is next. Jellal the mysterious boy gets up and sits down at the Grand Piano. He lays his hand on the keys but doesn't play.
All of sudden a blast of emotion bursts out from the piano. Lucy could feel the warmth of Jellal's heart as he plays the piano (Frederic Chopin Scherzo No. 2 Op. 31). Lucy felt the music notes jump around her, she feels overjoyed. Lucy looks into Jellal's eyes to find that his expression softens each minute and she smiles lightly.
When Jellal finishes his piece, he immediately gets up and sits down onto his original seat. Lucy claps for him. "Not bad Jellal" Laxus nods approving his skill.
"Now let's have the top student play for us" Laxus smirks playfully at me. Lucy gives him a blank expression and just nod in response to him. She takes a violin and rests it on her chin. Slowly, Lucy clutches the bow and lay it on the violin Strings. She closes her eyes and starts to play (Bach, J.S. Partita No. 3 in E, BWV 1006).
All three boys and the teacher stare at Lucy. Even though she hardly showed any emotion, there was something about her as she plays the violin. It's as if Lucy was showing them a world completely out of their own views, inviting them to see a whole different perspective.
I wonder what the world looks like through her eyes Jellal thinks in his mind as he listens to her music. Jellal couldn't rip his eyes off of her, she has captured him in just a few bars. Jellal wanted to accompany her music, he wanted to play right beside her but he knew that, to do that, he would have to become close to her.
Laxus eyes fixes on Lucy, he had no idea that she could play like that. He didn't think someone like her could intrigue him so much. He wanted to get to know her so badly it irritated him. I never thought she could hold an expression like that Laxus talks to himself in his head.
Freed studies Lucy, her expression, her technique, you get it. Freed was interested in her, how can someone like her not socialize a lot? He wanted to understand why she was shy and why when she played, she was a different person.
When Lucy finishes playing, she elegantly puts the violin to her side and bows. She hears a loud round of applause from her small audience. She was shocked at their sudden applause and freezes on her spot.
"I didn't know that you had that skill in you" Laxus laughs and invites her to sit next to him.
"Thank you…" Lucy lowers her head in embarrassment and sits next to Laxus.
After deciding what piece they were going play, Lucy gets up and gets ready to head on to where Natsu and Gray hang out. However on her way out Jellal stops Lucy by holding her wrist.
"…Where do you hang out?" Jellal asked quietly clutching her wrist.
"Usually alone but today I have to go with Natsu and his friends" Lucy replies.
Jellal who looks disappointed lets go of Lucy and nods. Lucy, who was confused, didn't really understand what just happened and walks up the stairs to the rooftop.
"Hey Luce!"
