I wake up to the familiar sound and smell of cars, alcohol, and garbage. The projects is the worst place you could live in, in this town. I stretch my arms knowing that my body is still sore from yesterday's beaten. I get out of bed limping my way to the bathroom and striped down to take a shower. After a few minutes I go down to my dresser and pick out my so called clothes for school. I picked out a grey ugly stained sweater that is a long sleeve and 5 times bigger than my size with sweat pants that are black baggy and long. I know that I'm suppose to wear the school uniforms but its too expensive for me to buy so I have to wear my regular clothes. Oh and the reason why the uniform is so expensive is because the school is an elite school and is the top school in all of japan. I was so Lucky and happy when I pass the scholarship and got in. Finally I put on my cheap dollar store glasses that I don't need and go downstairs. I go to the kitchen and grab a carton of milk and some cereal. Once I'm finish I grab my backpack, say by to mom and go to school.

It takes me an hour to get to school and its been 50 minutes. As I walk down I see limousines driving to the direction of the school.

"Wow." I say in awe.

10 minutes later...

"Yes I'm finally in school an- Oh my god."

The school has big black shiny gates with the fairy tail emblem on the middle and behind that are two castle like buildings and a garden in the middle of it full of cherry blossoms and exotic flowers. There is a statue at the front of the garden with a woman or little girl with long hair a dress and a bow on front with a big smile on her face which down below it says ' To our first Headmaster may you rest in peace Mavis Vermillion'. As I look at at the building I hear whispers of other students say things like-

"What is a commoner doing here." And "Ew where did she get those nasty clothes from, a garbage can."

I listen to the high class students until someone called out.

"What are you doing in our school you discusting creature go back to the rat hole you belong to!"

I stand there taking insult by insult by each and every student standing around me until someone with blue hair pulls me away from the crowd. She has shoulder length hair with a yellow head band, the school school uniform on, short and petite with black shoes on.

"Are you OK?" A warm hearted voice says to me.

"Yes and thanks for pulling me out back there." I said back to the short girl.

"I'm sorry for what happened back there with the students and all but I promise you that Most of them are not cruel and mean."

"Its OK and thanks again...um." I really don't know her name but she caught on and introduced herself.

"Oh how rude of me, my name is Levy McGarden and I'm a third year at this high school." She says happily.

"I'm Lucy Heartfilia the scholarship new girl and third year of this school too."

"Yay were in the same year and your new so I get to be your first friend." She said ecstatic.

"F-friend." I stuttered nervously and shocked that she wanted me to be her friend.

"Yeah of course , we are friends right." She replied with a little disappointment in her voice.

"Are you sure you want that because I might bring you down and I don't want you to suffer because of me."

"Of course I would want to be your friend Lu-chan!"

"OK." I said shyly, but on the inside I was super dupper happy that I made my first friend in years.

"Let's go to the opening ceremony or were gonna be late Lu-chan." She grabbed my hand once again and we head to the auditorium. But as we run I see a person with pink spiky hair looking at me.

We arrive at the opening ceremony and i see many students from different parts of japan arriving and sitting down at their seats. Many people start to stare at me like i was an animal or something. But who could blame them, i'm just a poor girl with dirty clothes that came from a thrift shop.

"Hurry up Lu-chan or all the good seats are gonna be taken." levy said in a hurry.

Well my staring got us to sit at the back row where i can barley see and for levy its a huge disadvantage. We sit for about 5 minutes talking about our favorite books and music and other stuff. I have a good feeling that Levy and i are going to be great friends. I hear the microphone on the stage go on and a little man that looks like he is in his late 50s comes out.

" Hello my children how was summer vacation." Many people responded as others cheered.

"Anyways for all the new students that don't know me my name is Makarov Dreyer but you can call me 'Gramps'."

"This year we have a scholarship student, she has stupendous grades and has pass the exam with the score of 99.99% Average."

Oh no please don't say my i chant 3 times.

" LUCY HEARTFILIA PLEASE COME UP TO THE STAGE!" Makarov yells.

Oh my god i have to go on stage looking like this with bad hair and clothes, Why me out of all people.

I get up and walk down the aisle with students whispering about my clothes and what is a girl like me coming to this school.

I come up on stage and go to the microphone.

"Hello my name is Lucy Heartfilia and I'm 16 years old in the third year." I said with a very low voice but everyone heard.

I get of of stage and some one trips me. I fall really hard on the floor and my wound an my leg reopened and blood started to gush out of it. Pain and tears come to my face and I see the person who tripped me and she had short entire hair and tons of makeup with the uniform on. While I was looking at her the last thing I saw was pink and everything went black.

Omg! What happened to Lucy? Who was that pinked haired guy? Who tripped her?
