Chapter 10.
Three day weekend... school... three day weekend... school. Lucy looked down at Wendy. At school tomorrow she would have to watch her. If she ditched tomorrow though Lucy could have Ms. Supetto watch her and have a 3 day party... three day weekend won! Lucy pulled out her cell phone and called an old friend.
"Hey Cana? It's Lucy I'ma come over tomorrow and crash for a few days... cool see you soon" Lucy said and hung up her phone.
Wendy started pulling at Lucy's pants.
"Where we going?" Wendy asked.
"Oh ho ho ho we are going nowhere. I am going to visit a friend while you stay here with dear Ms. Supetto" Lucy said.
Wendy made a sad face.
"Don't you remember that doesn't work on me" Lucy said.
"But... but... but..." Wendy stuttered then started crying. People around them stopped and stared at the couple.
Lucy needed to buy ear plugs, either that or something to block out the crying. Even though Wendy's sad face or her puppy dog face didn't work on Lucy, her crying always would.
"Fuck! One of these days kid that shit isn't going to work anymore!" Lucy yelled.
Wendy stopped crying and smiled.
"Your still not coming with me" Lucy said.
Wendy was about to cry again.
"But I'll come back Sunday and we'll do whatever you want" Lucy said.
"Really?" Wendy asked.
"Except Pudding Land!" Lucy said putting her foot down.
"AW! Lucy nee-san!"
"Ms. Heartfilia? Absent" Mr. Atsuki said checking her name.
Bora pulled out his phone and called her number.
"WHAT!" Lucy yelled picking up the phone.
Bora was surprised she picked it up on the first ring.
"Just checking if you were alive, bye" Bora said.
"No wait, Cana's having a get together come after school" Lucy yawned over the phone.
"Alright I'll be there bye" Bora said finally hanging up.
Today Gray noticed his rival grinding his teeth together.
"At least she's alive" Gray told him.
"Yeah" Natsu said but still hated the fact that Bora talked to Lucy and not himself.
*Beep, Beep, Beep*
Lucy lifted her head off of her pillow and stared at the alarm clock. Where had her three weekend go? Slamming her fist down Lucy got up from bed and scratched her back. Why was she so tired? Oh that's right, after partying with her friends for two days straight she comes home to Wendy's hyper ass and takes her out all day. Lucy looked out her window and noticed the sun.
Today was going to be a long day, thank god she wouldn't have to make it sober. Getting up Lucy walked into her bathroom and opened her medicine cabinet. In there she grabbed a bottle full of blue and pink pills, Bora had given it to her Friday when she met up with them at Cana's house. This wouldn't be the first time Lucy's taken a pill without knowing what it did. She unscrewed the cap and swallowed down two. Now all she had to do was wait until they kicked in.
All was silent in Mr. Atsuki's class. He had ordered his students to open their books and was just about to start his lesson until his door slid open. In the doorway was the one person he had never wanted to see again, Lucy Heartfilia.
"I hope you won't be smoking again today Ms. Heartfilia" Mr. Atsuki said.
Lucy smirked at her teach then motioned for Wendy to come closer.
"Pack" Lucy said.
Wendy dug into her purse and pulled out Lucy's happy sticks. Lucy grabbed the pack from Wendy and slammed them onto Atsuki's table.
"For insurance" Lucy said then stumbled to her seat. She didn't understand why is was so hard walking all of a sudden, maybe someone was trying to trip her. Anyways Lucy made it to her seat without tripping. Wendy also sat down trying not to laugh at her protector.
Atsuki grabbed the cancer sticks off his desk and threw it towards the trash can. He missed and the pack fell on the floor. Oh well I'll just pick it up later Atsuki thought as he turned around and went to right to write today's agenda on the board.
"Psst Lucy what's wrong with you?" Bora whispered to his loopy friend.
"Don't play dumb Bora! You saved my life today with those happy pills" Lucy said and giggled.
Happy pills? Oh shit!
"Lucy how many did you take!" Bora exclaimed.
"Only two" Lucy said holding up three fingers. She looked at them, "that's not right" she mumbled and pouted.
"Your only suppose to take 1 and that's every 12 hours!" Bora said.
Oh well, Lucy was used to taking pills, maybe taking two wouldn't kill her. Bora smirked to himself. If one pill makes you high and laugh then two must really make you looney. He couldn't wait to see what would happen this period.
"But gee Bora man I got to say your funny!" Lucy said and laughed.
Boy was this going to be fun.
"Ms. Heartfilia! What is so funny!" Mr. Atsuki yelled.
"Nothing" Lucy said and giggled.
"Would you care to read page 47 in the book then out loud then?" Mr. Atsuki said.
"Sure!" Lucy said then looked at her desk.
It was empty. She looked at Bora's desk. It had a book.
"Psst Bora could I borrow your book?" Lucy tried to whisper.
Bora stiffed a laugh and handed it to her. Lucy looked at the book and read from the top line.
"'Why!? Tell me why I have to go!' yelled Prince Peacon. "Because Prince it's your-" Lucy stopped reading and laughed.
"Ms. Heartfilia" Mr. Atsuki warned.
"Because Prince it's your-" Lucy stopped and laughed again.
"Ms. Heartfilia tell me what is so funny!" Mr. Atsuki yelled.
"He says duty!" Lucy yelled and continued laughing out loud. Some of the students laughed with her, not because it was funny, but because Mr. Atsuki's face was turning red.
"OUT! PRINCIPLE'S OFFICE!" Mr. Atsuki yelled.
Lucy dropped Bora's book on the ground and laughed her way up to Mr. Atsuki's desk. Wendy followed silently behind her.
"Aren't you suppose to give me a pass or something?" Lucy asked her teacher.
"It's never stopped you before but alright" Mr. Atsuki said writing Lucy a pass.
When he finished Atsuki handed her the paper. Lucy smirked at him as she crumbled up the pass. She then threw the paper ball into the trash can, never breaking eye contact with Atsuki.
"Swoosh" Lucy said as the ball landed in the trash can.
Strange how even though Lucy was so out of it from her happy pills that she still hand the right mind to embarrass her teacher.
"Wendy grab my happy sticks" Lucy said as she walked out the class.
Wendy did as told and rushed to catch up with her Nee-san.
"You just got served teach!"
Lucy's happy pills were wearing off. She sat in her seat in homeroom with her head down. She felt horrible, what side effects did these pills come with Lucy was sure one of them was 'getting fucked up in the head'.
"What's wrong with you?" Gajeel grumbled as he took the seat next to Lucy.
She didn't respond to the man. Wendy on the other hand got up and started touching Gajeel's piercing's again. Gajeel was about to yell at the girl telling her to go fuck off.
"Take it or else I'll tell Levy" Lucy mumbled.
Gajeel could do nothing but glare at the blonde girl as the little girl pocked his face. Gajeel then studied Lucy. Usually in homeroom, when she came, Lucy would just argue with the teacher but this time her head was down. Hold on... was she hung over?
"Your not drunk are you?" Gajeel said a smirk gracing his lips.
"If you must know I took some happy pills this morning and they're giving me a bad after effect" Lucy mumbled.
Gajeel let out a crackling laugh. Wendy jumped back and decided she had her fill of poking Gajeel's nose so she sat back down her seat and took out her book. Gajeel couldn't believe the girl; Lucy was funny, this was hilarious. Gajeel remembered those days of taking random pills from people, he might have even taken the same pills she took. This girl was alright in his book. Maybe she was worth being friends with Gajeel thought.
"Did you eat breakfast today? That's probably why, go eat something Nutrition" Gajeel said giving some friendly advice.
Now that he mentioned it Lucy was feeling a little bit hungry... alright a lot of bit. Damn herself for not being eating some breakfast this morning, only if Dear Daddy Dearest wasn't there this morning. Now Lucy was being forced into buying 20 candy bars fill her appetite.
Homeroom ended shortly and Lucy walked out of class with Wendy and Gajeel following her. Since they were going the same way Gajeel decided to walk with her. He walked on her left hand side; Wendy was on her right. Gajeel saw his friends all standing outside a classroom so he ditch Lucy for them. He walked over and stood next to his pipsqueak.
"Hello Gajeel" Levy greeted.
Gajeel grumbled in response.
"Sorry for the wait everyone" Erza said walking out the door.
Erza then noticed her blond friend Lucy, she was about to walk right past them. Erza ran up and stood in front of her as her friends watched in the background. Lucy just stood there not being able to move forward since something was in her way.
"Hi Lucy" Erza said.
Wendy smiled up at Erza and waved. Erza smiled and waved back then turned her attention back to Lucy.
"I wanted to thank you but you didn't come Friday, but you're here now so I just wanted to say thanks Lucy" Erza blabbered.
Lucy didn't understand. All she was hearing was blah, blah, blah, Lucy. Maybe if she nodded Erza would get out her way so she could move forward. Gajeel was just laughing at the scene in front of him. He moved over to Jellal and whispered-
"She's so high"
Jellal cracked a smile and started laughing with him. Juvia hearing the joke threw in a few giggles. The friends stared at them confusingly. Jellal decided it was time to help his love.
"Erza now's not the best time to express your gratitude to Lucy. Come on it's nutrition and you know how Natsu get's if he doesn't get any food" Jellal said grabbing Erza's shoulders and moving her out of Lucy's way.
Lucy started walking forward again now that nothing was in her way.
"Hi Lucy" Natsu called out as she walked right passed him.
Ignored.
Jellal smirked. "Hey Lucy" he said.
Lucy lifted her right hand up and waved backwards at the guy.
Jellal's smirked widened. Natsu stared dumbfounded.
"What makes her like you more!" Natsu complained.
Jellal only smirked and shrugged as he walked towards the lunch area. When they arrived they stared in shock at the long line for the vending machine. Their eyes followed the line wondering why it was so long and noticed it was none other than their blond friend.
Lucy was putting in dollar after dollar in the vending machine until it had reached a total of $25 dollars. Stupid machine not accepting 20's Lucy thought as she pushed the button to her favorite candy bar 11 times before it was the last one. After that Lucy had to pick 9 other candy bars.
Wendy was at the bottom putting all the candy bars she could fit in her bag which turned out to be 7. Wendy and Lucy were forced to hold the rest of them, Lucy didn't mind or care though. She ripped open the first bar and took a bite out of it.
Gajeel laughed his ass off as Lucy walked out the lunch area with Wendy. Definitely don't mind becoming friends with her.
"Alright students there will be a quiz today" Ms. Kizuna announced to her fourth period class.
Oh shit. How could Juvia forget? She went out with Gray and friends late last night so she didn't have time to study. What was going to happen?! She wanted to graduate with Gray, she couldn't fail this test.
Lucy took a peek at Juvia and noticed something was wrong with her today. She was not as cool as she usually was. Maybe it was because of the test. Lucy's was feeling better now that she ate something, she could probably do it.
"Don't worry about it. Since I missed Friday I'll do it for us" Lucy grabbing the sheet Ms. Kizuna passed out.
Lucy began scanning over the paper. Juvia was never happier in her life to have Lucy right here with her right now. Lucy finished the test with minutes to spare and laid her head down for the rest of the class period. Pretty soon the bell rang and the class was over.
"Alright students hand in your papers on my desk" Ms. Kizuna said.
Lucy just walked out of class knowing Juvia would turn it in for them.
"Lucy nee-san!" Wendy shouted.
Lucy stopped her walking and looked at the girl.
"I need to use the toilet" Wendy said.
Lucy sighed and changed her direction for the girl's restroom. Something caught Lucy's eye though; three people, one with blue hair. How many people had blue hair at this school? Not many Lucy thought.
"Come on Nee-san" Wendy said.
Lucy started walking forward again. She only got three steps before she made a u-turn and walked outside the building. She turned right and kept walking till she was on the far side of school. Lucy noticed how deserted this place was and what more, all the trees. This would be the perfect place to ditch Lucy thought.
Lucy imagined herself laying under one of the trees while Wendy played on the branches. Sure the rooftop was a nice place to ditch but it was so hot up there. Lucy now had two places she could ditch to.
"HELP!" someone screamed.
Lucy turned her head over to the direction and started walking towards it. She peeked over the side of the building and saw Levy with two other guys. Boy was Gajeel going to be pissed. Lucy could not wait to tell him what she saw and hoped his reaction would be hilarious. She was not only with one guy but two. Lucy was hoping Gajeel would change colors.
"Lucy nee-san I need to go toilet!" Wendy wined.
"Alright" Lucy said turning away form Levy. She looked kinda busy at the moment.
"Please! Anyone! Help!" Levy yelled out.
Lucy stopped.
"Keep screaming no one can hear you" Reno said and laughed to himself.
"Now who goes first? Hmm" his pal Ivan said eyeing the girl.
"Hello boys" Lucy said coming out into the clearing with Wendy.
Everyone stopped and looked at her.
"Lucy" Levy whispered.
"And here I thought we had something special going on boys" Lucy said and pouted.
Ivan and Reno looked at each other then back at Lucy.
"Why don't we have the pipsqueak watch my kid then start having some fun?" Lucy purred.
They didn't need to think twice about the decision. Ivan quickly pulled Levy towards him then pushed her towards Lucy. Levy scrambled her was towards her and started tugging her arm.
"Come on let's hurry before they catch us" Levy said.
Lucy pulled her arm out of Levy's grasps.
"Didn't you hear me? Watch my kid and beat it. I don't like sharing but for you I might make an exception" Lucy said and smiled.
Levy didn't want to stay but she didn't want to leave Lucy either. Making her choice she grabbed Wendy's hand and ran out of there. She would go and get help, she would bring back Gajeel and the gang. Hopefully nothing bad would happen to Lucy while she was getting them.
Now that her kid was gone Lucy looked back at her two toys and smirked seductively.
"Names please" Lucy said.
"I'm Ivan" Ivan said stepping forward.
"Reno" Reno said still staring wide eyed at Lucy.
Was this really happening to them?
"Lucy. Now let's see I is before R so I guess Ivan's up first. Feel free to watch though Reno" Lucy said walking up to Ivan.
She wrapped her arms around Ivan's neck.
"Close your eyes" Lucy whispered.
Ivan happily did so; Lucy smirked at the boy. She slowly moved her hands down to his shoulders and gripped tightly. Lucy then lifted up her knee with full force right to Ivan's family jewels. Ivan let out a squeal of pain and fell down holding his sack.
"What the" Reno said and looked at the girl.
Lucy kept her smirked and turned to him.
"You little bitch!" Reno said throwing a punch.
Lucy brought her hand up and caught it. She then kicked Reno in his sack and watched him bent down in pain.
"Wait your turn" Lucy said turning back to Ivan.
She straddled on top of Ivan and started punching his face repeatedly. Left, right left, right, one, two, one, two. One after another, Ivan thought she was never going to stop but she did. Lucy grabbed Ivan by the collar and pulled him closer to him.
"Don't you ever let me catch you around another girl again or else I'll cut it off, do you understand?" Lucy threatened.
Ivan only coughed up blood as a reply. Lucy dropped him then went over to Reno who was trying to crawl away. Lucy noticed her knuckles were bleeding so she just decided to kick the guy instead. She kicked and kicked till she was sure that he got the message.
"Make sure you tell your friends what happened" Lucy said then started walking away.
That took her around 5 minutes. I guess the timing was acceptable seeing how I was high only a few hours ago Lucy thought to herself. When she turned the corner, Lucy was alone. Where the fuck were they? How could that little pipsqueak ran away?! Didn't she know it would only take a few minutes for her to beat those guys? She was suppose to be here waiting for her! Damn it she must have ran to tell those friends of hers.
Lucy took off running to the lunch area. The last thing she needed was her old friends causing a commotion.
Levy kept running and running until she felt her heart about to burst out her chest. She felt a tug on her hand though and had to stop running. Wendy stopped with her and was just standing there.
"Come on Wendy we need to go save Lucy!" Levy yelled.
"Toilet!" Wendy said.
"You can use the toilet later we have to save her!" Levy said.
Why couldn't she just understand Levy and go with her?
"Toilet!" Wendy yelled and started to cry.
Levy had no choice but to take the girl to the restroom. Lucy gave her the job of watching over Wendy while she took her place, she had to do her job. She waited outside the stalls panicking over what could happen to Lucy while they were wasting time using the toilet!
"How could you use the toilet at a time like this?!" Levy exclaimed.
Wendy walked out of the stall and washed her hand, not a worry in her pretty little head.
"Lucy nee-san's strong" she responded.
Levy knew Lucy was strong but she didn't think that Lucy would be strong enough to take them both on. Wendy finished drying off her hands then held one up letting Levy drag her away. Finally the made it to the lunch area an Levy ran up to her friends. She dropped Wendy's hand and held her chest trying to catch her breath. Levy was never good at sports so all that running was taking a toll on her.
"Hey Levy we were wondering where you were" Lisanna said.
"Attacked!" Levy managed to yell.
Her friends went on the defense.
"Lucy!... Attacked!" Levy said in short breaths.
Natsu's world seemed to stop spinning. He grabbed Levy's shoulders sinking his fingers in.
"What about Lucy?! What about getting attacked?!" Natsu said.
Gajeel pushed Natsu of off the pipsqueak.
"Let her breath" he snarled.
Levy took some deep breaths.
"I was pulled away after class by these two boys. Lucy came and saved me and now she's there by herself with them!" Levy yelled.
"Where Levy?! Tell me where!" Natsu yelled panicking.
His blond friend was in trouble, his blond friend needed him.
"Lucy!" Wendy yelled out.
The group of friends paused and looked at the little girl. Wendy ran over to Lucy who had just entered the lunch area. Natsu ran right after her followed by the others. Wendy hugged her protector's leg but Lucy didn't care. She was to busy glaring at the pipsqueak.
"Where the fuck did you go?!" Lucy yelled at Levy.
Levy jumped. "You told me to leave so I left to get help" Levy squeaked.
"You were suppose to wait there until I finished them off! I had to go look for her!" Lucy said finally pulling Wendy off of her.
"I'm sorry" Levy squeaked again cowering behind Gajeel.
"Hold on Lucy are you alright?" Erza asked eyeing the girl.
Lucy ignored her and turned to leave; Levy stopped her though.
"Wait! Thank you Lucy for saving me" Levy said.
Lucy snorted. "Saving you, don't flatter yourself. I already had an appointment with them, I was late though so they found someone else. If you would have stayed you would have ended up like them" Lucy said then continued walking away.
Natsu ran up to Lucy and grabbed her hands; he noticed her knuckles were bleeding. She also had some blood on her cheeks and uniform. Lucy had just washed her uniform too.
"Fuck off" Lucy said removing her hands from his.
Apparently Natsu didn't hear though because he suddenly picked Lucy and carried her over his shoulder… like luggage. Lucy could only lay there and let Natsu carry her off. She knew Natsu was hard headed so he wouldn't listen if she yelled at him to put her down. She also knew if she struggled there's a chance Natsu would drop her. So Lucy just stayed there un-moving and waited for there destination.
The friends didn't watch Natsu and Lucy leave. They all had something better on there minds.
"Where did they attack you Levy?" Erza asked.
No way these boys were getting away with attacking their friends. Those boys picked the wrong group to mess with. They were filled with rage, and wanted to get back at those who hurt their friends. Natsu felt the same way but he knew his friends would take care of them. Something bigger was on his mind, he had to take care of Lucy.
Lucy just laid there for a few minutes then noticed Natsu coming to a halt. She lifted her head and saw he stopped in front of the Nurse's Office. Natsu opened the door and walked towards the resting area. He placed Lucy on the bed.
"If you leave I'll carry you back here" Natsu said before turning around to find the Nurse.
Wendy just sat down next to Nee-san swinging her legs.
"Oh what to we have here?" Nurse Kinana said walking to Lucy with Natsu beside her.
Natsu held up Lucy's hand to show Kinana the damage.
"How'd this happen?" she asked.
"My locker wouldn't open" Lucy lied.
Nurse Kinana eyed her then went to get her first aid kit. She grabbed a towel and soaked it in warm water.
"What you do punch it open?" Nurse Kinana asked coming back.
Lucy nodded.
"I'm surprised the blood would get on your clothes and face" Kinana said wiped the blood spots off of Lucy's cheeks. She then wiped the blood off of her knuckles.
"I have to disinfected it so it might burn" Nurse Kinana said pouring alcohol on a cotton ball.
When it made contact to Lucy's knuckles even Natsu flinched. He could only imagined how much that burned but Lucy's expression didn't change. Sure it stung a lot to Lucy but she didn't want to show her weakness in front of Wendy and definitely not in front of Natsu. So Lucy sat there and took it like a man. Nurse Kinana finished disinfecting Lucy's hand then bandaged it up.
"Alright all better, you sure are a tough student. Next time thought if you can't open your locker try going to the Main Office and asking for help" Nurse Kinana said.
Lucy only stood up and walked out the Nurse's Office.
"Thank you" Natsu said staying behind then followed Lucy along with Wendy.
The three of the walked up the stairs to the roof top. Lucy laid down like usual planning to take a nap while Wendy sat against the gate pulling out a workbook from her bag. Natsu watched the two of them before walking over and sitting next to his blond friend. Lucy felt him watching her so she turned around.
"Don't you have someplace better to be?" Lucy asked trying to ignore him.
Natsu just sat there and continued watching the girl. Why had he acted like he had? Normally he would have been the first one to beat those guys but he was more concerned with Lucy then getting payback. He'd never done that before, not once. What was happening to –
"Natsu nii-san could you help me?" Wendy asked standing in front of him.
"Sure Wendy what you need?" Natsu asked taking his eyes off of Lucy.
Wendy sat beside Natsu and showed him the problem.
"I don't get this one" Wendy said pointing towards it.
It was Natsu's worse enemy… math. Natsu took the book and looked at the problem. What was with all these numbers and letters and slashes? Wasn't Wendy in Kindergarten or 1st grade? How the hell could she be doing problems like this so young? Natsu looked at the cover of the book. It was geometry. He was pretty sure he took geometry in middle school, so why was she doing this now? Natsu looked at the little girl.
"Lucy gave me this book so I could stay smart. She said if I finished it she would take me to Pudding! Pudding! Land!" Wendy cheered.
"Um let's see" Natsu said looking at the problem again.
He was drawing a blank. He really didn't know how to do this. Lucy sat up and took the book and pencil from Natsu's hands.
"Shit I don't remember you being so dumb. She's only 7 and she's smarter than you" Lucy said looking over the problem.
"You divide these two together then cross multiply from this. After you divide it by these then add up for the total sum" Lucy said making notes on her book.
She handed it back to Wendy.
"Thanks Lucy nee-san, Natsu nii-san" Wendy said.
Lucy snorted. "Why are you thanking this idiot?" she mumbled.
"Hey!" Natsu yelled.
"Also that's 10 minutes off of Pudding Land since you asked for help" Lucy said.
"Aw!" Wendy cried.
Lucy ignored them and went back to napping. What now?
"So are you doing anything after-" Natsu started.
"I'm busy" Lucy said.
"What about-"
"Still busy"
"Then"
"Busy" Lucy said.
Natsu's face narrowed. How was he suppose to be her friend if she didn't give him a chance?
"You can come us to Pudding! Pudding! Land! Natsu nii-san" Wendy suggested.
"Better yet, take her yourself" Lucy said.
Wendy glared at Lucy and jumped on top of her.
"Meany Lucy "Wendy said giggling.
Lucy rolled over so Wendy would fall off of her.
"That doesn't sound bad. I remember going there with a blond friend of mine when I was younger" Natsu said.
This caught Wendy's attention. "Story time?" Wendy asked.
Natsu smiled.
"Sure"
