CHAPTER 4
HEY EVERYONE SORRY FOR THE DELAY BUT HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER AND ALSO THIS IS FOR WHEN LISANNA SHOWS DO YOU GUYS WANT HER TO BE MEAN OF NICE AND WHY BEST ANSWER DECIDES .
~TIME SHIP TO FRIDAY~
I wake up to my stupid alarm clock ringing. I wore my crop toped long sleeved sweater and of course jeans. It was finally Friday and I completed my first week of school here. I walked downstairs for breakfast, but realizing I didn't have time for it I ran out the door. Ever sense it started to snow I couldn't drive my mom's car, and seeing how I didn't want Capricorn to drive me I have resorted to running. I walk into my classroom and sat down next to Natsu. Thankfully I wasn't late, I started that habit and it really sucked. "Wow you look tired." A certain pink headed boy said next to me. "Thanks, it's most likely because I'm running to school." I said as casually as I could. Just then Levy became interested in our conversation. "Lu-Chan I told you if you needed a ride to tell Me." she said in a disappointing tone. "Don't worry I like running to school in winter. It helps with my endurance sense my car doesn't work in snow." I said thinking of a lie on the spot. I didn't want her knowing about my family. Just then class started and I was very thankful for a reason to drop it.
I didn't really pay attention for math and social studies sense I was already ahead in both. While in gym I went to the library to check out Romeo and Juliet, for my English class. When I found out what we were reading in English class I was so excited. Even though I've read it before it's still nice to reread books. In English we went over Shakespeare's past. I found it mostly interesting although most others in my class didn't.
I went to lunch and sat down next to Levy and ate my lunch while all the other girls talked. "So Mira how many bands and soloists from our school are participating in FBOTM?" Levy asked. "Well there is Natsu's and also Laxus's band. As for the soloists I know my sister Lisanna is, but I don't know who else." Mira answered. "Wait what's the FBOTM and second Mira has a sister?" I questioned. "FBOTM stands for Fiore's Battle of the Musicians. It's a competition were the top band and soloist will get a contract from Fiore Record Company. Basically over a period of a week whoever signed up will perform in different musical skills. For example song writing, music theory, pairing up and doing collaboration set, and so on. Although on the last day everyone will perform in front of a judge, but it's manly for the crowd's enjoyment and not the competition." Erza said looking up from her cake. "To answer who Lisanna is; she is like I said my sister but you haven't met her yet sense she hasn't been eating lunch with us." Mira clarified. "Oh, ok that makes more sense now." I said.
After lunch I went to the piano room. I worked on writing a new song. For the first time this week I noticed that Gray didn't come to the piano room. It was actually kind of nice having the room to me, and the peace and quiet made it easy to concentrate. Not that I don't enjoy his company; it's just that the quiet was nice and peaceful. In my class with Ms. Lyra she had work on techniques to get more fluent. We had to play the scales from low to high and then back down. After class I saw Natsu walking up to me. "Hey Luce want to walk to science?" he asked "Sure." I said. "So, do you have any idea when we're going to work on our music project?" he asked turning that little light switch on say 'Ohhh yea.' "Well I guess we could work on it tonight sense I don't have anything real important to do." I told him as we were walking into the classroom and took our seats. "Awesome we can work on it after school today." He said. "Ok class today we will finish up showing our projects sense I didn't feel like planning anything." Mr. Clive said walking in to the classroom. The whole class Natsu and I watched a range of projects from bottle rockets to volcanos. Every now and then Natsu would whisper a comment on how it could have been a higher launch or explosion if they added this of this.
(After class)
"Hey Luce can we go to your house for the project" Natsu asked as we were walking through the halls. "Why does it have to be my house?" I asked because I personally didn't want to unless he's an honest and b, I deem it a good reason. "Well my house isn't very people friendly right now." He says. "Fine we can do it at my house but first I need to go somewhere." I told him not being too happy about it but sense his house isn't people friendly then I didn't want to be there. "Were you going? Can I come?" Natsu asked. "I'm going to an orphanage and I guess if you really want to." I explained to him. "Yea!" he exclaimed. After walking a little bit we had to get on a bus. After getting him on the bus and seated, which was quit hard might I add, I found out that he had motion sickness. Once we got off he started kissing the ground and thanking it.
After a short walk we came to a small building with a little fence around it. I the yard there was a sing set and some other toys. I walked up to the door and knocked on it. An old man came out and grinned at us. He had had an orange sweater on and had bushy eyebrows. "Lucy it's you, please come in the kids will be so happy to see you!" He exclaimed. "Yamito-san it's nice to see you again." I say and hand him a white envelope. "Lucy please says me this isn't another check." Yamito pleads. "Sorry, but I can't tell you that." I say even that I'm not sorry. "Lucy-" He starts but I interrupt him. "I know you don't like it but please just take it. I don't even know why you don't just take it the first time I give it to you." He shook his head and took the envelope. "LUCY-NII, when did you get here?" A boy around twelve asks me. "Romeo it's good to see you, were is everyone?" I asked him. "They're in the back room waiting for you." He said tugging my arm. "Ok, I'm coming, Natsu you want to meet everyone." I said to both of them. Walking into the music room I was greeted by a bunch of kids hugging me. "Lucy-nii, Wendy-san is crying again." The little girl named Chelia said.
Natsu's Pov
We walk into the building and I see Luce talking to the old man and handing him an envelope. 'What's in the envelope and why is he having trouble taking it?' I wondered. "LUCY-NII, when did you get here?" A boy around twelve asks Luce. "Romeo it's good to see you, where is everyone?" she asked him. "They're in the back room waiting for you." The boy named Romeo said tugging her arm. "Ok, I'm coming, Natsu you want to meet everyone." She said to both of us. Walking into the living room was immediately surrounded by a bunch of kids hugging me. "Lucy-nii, Wendy-san is crying again." A little girl named with pink hair said. "Where is she at?" Luce said a little panicked. "She went to the music room and won't come out." The girl with pink hair said. "Ok I'll go talk to her." Luce said walking to what I assume to be the music room.
Not knowing what else to do I followed her. When Lucy went into the room she left the door open just enough for someone to see inside if they wanted. I saw Luce hugging a little blue-haired girl. The girl was sitting in the corner sobbing. Luce was trying to get the girl to calm down by petting her hair. "Wendy please tell me why you're crying." Luce said trying to talk as soft as possible. The girl's sobs started to turn softer. "At school the kids were making fun of my blue hair. Also, they were saying that no one loves me and that's why my parents left me." The girl who I assumed to be Wendy explained. "Wendy next time they say that tell them that your big sister Lucy is going to take you and your friends in when she's old enough and that I had the choice to choose you unlike their parents, ok." Luce said to Wendy. "Yea I will." I heard Wendy say quietly. I was surprised that Luce cared so much for all of them, it was really cute. "Lucy-nii can you sing me a song?" Wendy asked. "Sure thing." Luce said. She stood up, walked over getting an acoustic guitar, and walked back to Wendy. She started playing the guitar and then started singing. (This is Darlin - Avril Lavigne and I don't own it ps. She's only using the guitar and not any other instruments/sounds.)
Darling [Chorus] Darling [Chorus]
you 're hiding in the closet once again,
start smiling
I know you're trying
real hard not to turn your head away
pretty darling
face tomorrow, tomorrow is not yesterday
Yesterday oh oooooh
Pretty please
I know it's a drag
wipe your eyes and put up your head
I wish you could be happy instead
There's nothing else I can do
But love you the best that I can
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I was there once a while ago
I know
that it's hard to be stuck with
people that you love
when nobody trusts
Pretty please You're not the only one who's been through
I know it's a drag
wipe your eyes and put up your head
I wish you could be happy instead
There's nothing else I can do
But love you the best that I can
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I've been there alone and now so are you
I just want you to know, want you to know it's not your fault.
It's not your fault
She stopped playing the guitar for a little to sing without it.
Your fault your fault
it's not your fault
your fault your fault your fault
She started playing the guitar again.
[Chorus] X2
Pretty please Pretty please
I know it's a drag
wipe your eyes and put up your head
I wish you could be happy instead
There's nothing else I can do
But love you the best that I can
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know it's a drag
wipe your eyes and put up your head
I wish you could be happy instead
There's nothing else I can do
But love you the best that I can
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Darling
you 're hiding in the closet once again,
start smiling
Luce's voice was amazing and she can play the guitar. I was completely surprised by how good she was. I kept watching Luce and Wendy. Luce put the guitar away, walked over and hugged Wendy. "She's really something, helping out all the kids and doing her best to make them happy." A voice besides said. I turned and saw Yamito behind me watching everything. "Yea she looks like she cares for all the kids a lot." I said. "She does, I'm convinced she would do anything and everything possible to help these kids." He said. "Just out of curiosity what was in the envelope she gave you?" I asked. "Well ever sense the building been having tough times because people are donating less Lucy got a job and all the money she gets from her job she gives to us." He explained. After he said that I said nothing.
We sat in the living room with all the other kids till Luce came out. When they came out the boy whose name I think is Romeo ran up and hugged Wendy. "Wendy you came out! Do I need to beat the person who made you cry up?" Ha said and I didn't know if he was serious or not but I like the way he deals with things. Wendy started to giggle. "No but thanks for worrying about Me." she said shyly. "Lucy you should get going now, it's almost four and your father will not like this." Yamito said I looked over at Luce her eyes were big and her mouth slightly opened. "Thank you Yamito-san I didn't realize the time. I guess we'll be going now." She said recovering fast. There was an echo of sad awe's throughout the room. "Sorry everyone, but I'll come back soon. Let's go Natsu." She said walking out the door but turned back and gave one last smile._.
