Chapter 2

Time: 11am date: 12st February **** (past) place: Fairy Tail high school

Perspective 3rd person/ Lucy Heartfillia

Lucy Heartfillia. She was known throughout the school, but wasn't exactly popular in that sense either. She came from a wealthy background, her father being one of the main businesses in not only the city but the whole country. Giving her envy off others from what they can't have (although she never asked for anything more from her father, and instead viewed others as equal to herself). The reasons as to why she wasn't popular was because she didn't accept fake friends. People who only wanted to use her for their own benefits. She had chosen to live a life where she was independent, living on her own (with support from her father) and aiming for only the best grades. Which also lead her to be viewed as a nerd who ended up with advantages. No, she wasn't bullied. She was just left to herself with a few friends.

Lucy was walking back from her break, normally she always spent it with her two best friends. Although today there was a change. One of the said friends never appeared at her table, never spoke a word to her in the first few lessons. It was almost as if he was blocking her out. Even when his eyes scanned the room and caught hers, it didn't. He wasn't seeing her at all. But she shrugged it off. It was nothing, of course. Of course.

So instead she indulged her mind in conversation with Levy, partly about the romance novel both were reading, the other in her own novel. Eating snacks. But it couldn't be denied. Nothing was working in keeping her mind at bay for long . She could only hope that it was a one time thing, that tomorrow it would return to how it was normally. Where they would both be fighting over something, him telling her how much she sucked at games, her in return stating his gross food habits, maybe push it, and tease him about his pink hair. Little did she know that it would never happen again.

Her hair swayed with her steps, it was shoulder length, held back by a single pale blue ribbon. Hazel eyes, taking in her surroundings, filled with interest. Even so, if you looked into them you would be able to witness a hidden pain, not that she would speak about such things anyway. Her clothing clung to her body showing the start of her change into being a woman. Hips starting to become more shapely. Features losing baby fat. She was changing.

Placing her hand on the handle, her gut twisted, giving off a negative feeling. She chose to push it off. Forcing the handle down and opening the door, she wished that for once in her life she could go back and listen to her instincts. Her eyes burned, followed by a scolding sensation running down her cheek. Her breathing was torn between being non existent to laboured and harsh. She wanted to run, follow the feeling and never return in hopes that it was all a dream, as maybe then the feeling of being hurt wouldn't return either. To others this scene would've been shocking ,yes, yet nothing more than that. Turning to run, her feet on the ground alerted the two in the room. But she never caught anything more than that, maybe if she did, she would see that the girl was trying to desperately get away, that Lucy had in fact helped her catch him off guard and push him off, allowing her to escape. However she didn't.

Lucy went through what she had witnessed. Her best friend (earlier mentioned) sucking faces with a girl she had once aquatinted. She should be happy. 'Should' was the key word. How could she? He was her best friend, someone who was already closer to her than any other and not once did he tell her who he likes. But that wasn't the truth of why it hurt so much. The fact was that she liked him more than she allowed to show. Where the line ended she didn't know, but it was past friendship, past family, it was more.

Natsu Dragoneel.

The female who was with him was Lisanna. The younger sister of Mira-Jane, both known for their popularity and beauty, something Lucy felt as though she could never compare to. Lisanna being a beautiful, kind girl, who when they did pass words of small conversations were kind and thoughtful. Always looking out for others more than herself. She didn't know how her and Natsu knew each other, not that she wanted to question it either. She felt ill, what if they were always together? Shaking her head to rid the thoughts of Lisanna, she focused on getting out. The walls were too close to her, making her feel caged.

Running out of the breath she never had to begin with, she found herself at the back of the school where she was camouflaged by bushes and flowers. The sun caused them to appear holy, radiating with warmth. Yet it did nothing to Lucy's cold heart. The suns warmth couldn't even blanket her. As she slumped back, her clothes catching on the ridges of the wall, she drowned herself in her thoughts. Sure, she was probably over reacting, she didn't understand why she ran herself. But something told her to go, that it was best to leave. After all.

"Who would've known that this would have happened?" She whispered hanging her head low, to make herself smaller.

She should've known, it was always there. But she couldn't, wouldn't, accept it. No matter the pain, because there was always a happy ending, right? These were the thoughts of a sole girl. She had always dreamt of a happy ending, were told about them, even read about them herself. Yet she found herself losing faith in the deepest parts of her heart. Because if there was really anything of the sort, then how was this happening to her.

I will try to update the chapters as much as possible! At the moment I'm in Sweden visiting family, so I'm a little torn for time. I hope you have enjoyed this chapter, as I said I will be altering the plot little by little. Please leave a review in what you think will change and if you enjoy it, it really helps! As always have a good day~
