Chapter 10
Lucy lays herself down on her bed, still wondering why Jellal kissed her on the cheek today. She puts her hand over the area where Jellal kissed her. She blushes lightly and sighs from embarrassment. Her gaze averts towards the running sunset.
"So does Jellal do that as a greeting or…?" Lucy mumbles to herself trying to figure out what Jellal was trying to tell her. She traces her finger from her cheek towards her pink lips and mumbles,
"Kiss?" Lucy, confused about her situation, wants to take a nap and forget about what just happened. She tucks herself properly in and drifts away into her dreams, dreaming about her childhood friend.
Lucy wakes up as per usual but finds out that she's a bit early, in fact, she was three hours earlier than normally. She decides that she should leave earlier just for today. She opens up her wardrobe and stares at the two pairs of uniform, one for Fairy Tail and one for Sabertooth. She blinks a few times before taking out the Sabertooth uniform. She puts her uniform on carefully, trying not to crease it. Lucy walks into her living room and takes out her orange juice from the fridge, while drinking it; she places her school shoes on.
She walks out of her house, finding that hardly anyone was awake right now and that the sun was still at the peak of rising. Lucy's hair flutters in the wind elegantly as she walks towards school. She captures the gazes of a few shop owners as she passes by them.
When she gets to school, she finds no one has arrived at school yet. Since no one was here, Lucy decides to go on a little an adventure within campus. There were still around two hours and a half before people would arrive.
"So this is where the library is huh?" Lucy observes her surrounding's and her eyes widen from the amount of books.
"I will read all of them!" Lucy shouts out but quickly covers her mouth remembering she was in a library. She takes a book named 'Loved and Unwanted' and borrows it.
Lucy wanders off into the garden of the school; she has never seen anything like this. The garden was huge; there are Sakura tree's everywhere and the petals cover the path. Lucy sits down and leans against a trunk of one of the trees and starts to read the book.
Lucy slides her fingers down the pages as she reads on. Her brown, cold eyes concentrate on the words, picking every piece of information up.
"I'll read the rest at home" Lucy mutters under her breathe. She closes the book carefully so she won't crease or fold any of the pages. Lucy looks towards the sun, to find that it was now almost up in the sky. It was still slightly dark but the color of the blue horizon was a bit more visible than before.
Lucy closes her eyes and breathes in. She keeps quiet to try and hear what was going around her…
She could hear… nothing… absolute complete and utter silence.
It was so peaceful, so beautiful but yet, it was so lonely. Lucy stands up and stretches her arms out. The wind carries her hair while the petals dance around her. She holds her hands out to try and catch the Petals but they just fly straight past her fingers.
"Since no one is around… I might as well…" Lucy puts her hand up to her chest and clears her throat. She takes a deep breath and starts to sing. ('Hoshi no kakera' by Aya Hirano)
Lucy starts to twirl around as she continues to sings with her angelic voice. She uses her magic to manipulate her surroundings. Lucy uses her wind magic and makes the entire petals in the area to circle around her slowly. She raises both of her arms upwards; making the all sakura petals fly up to the sky. She holds the petals up in the air.
As she finishes her song, she closes her fist making the petals explode like fireworks. She holds the last note and opens her eyes.
As if on cue, Lucy hears a pair of hands clapping for her. She turns around to see a grinning Sting and a slightly smiling Rogue. She blushes harshly and runs up to both of them.
"How long have you been standing there?" Lucy panics.
"Well… We heard a really nice voice when coming into school, so we decided to follow it." Sting grins at the angry Lucy. "So basically we heard the whole thing!"
"You have a really nice voice" Rogue whispers, making Lucy blush as hard as a red apple.
"W…Whatever" Lucy walks away from them calmly. She picks up her bags and the book she borrowed and stomps her way to class.
"What day is it?" Lucy looks at her phone. "Oh… I can visit him today" Lucy puts her phone back into her pocket and carries on walking to class.
"So today I have music" She sits down in her music classroom at the back of the room.
"You must be the girl that was lost" A puzzling voice speaks out towards Lucy. Rufus sits himself down next to Lucy. "Nice to meet you again. My name is Rufus, if you remember" Rufus fixes his hat on his head.
"Oh yeah. Thank you for showing me where the art rooms were…" Lucy said quite coldly. She looks at the piano right next to her and remembers Jellal. She blushes slightly but quickly covers her face with the sleeve of her blazer. Rufus looks at her with a questioning face.
"hahhhh…" Lucy sighs to herself as she looks towards the window. "I want school to end quickly," Lucy says almost silently. The teacher then walks in, he was dressed in a formal attire with his white hair braided to the side of his shoulder.
"Alright students… We will be concentrating on music history today. Please turn to page…" Lucy ignores the teacher and stares into the blue sky.
"Lucy Heartfilia" The teachers voice throughout the whole room. "Can you answer my question please?" His voice seems to have a tone of annoyance.
Whipping her head around, Lucy says, "I'm sorry. I didn't catch your question the first time. May you kindly repeat the question?" Lucy says innocently but with a mischievous look in her eyes. Lucy puts her hand up to her chin.
"After the Renaissance period of classical music ended, it was replaced by a new form that was, at the time, considered as revolutionary as today's rap music. What was this new period called?" He reads out from his textbook. Lucy stands up and clears her throat.
"This was called the Baroque Era." Lucy says with confidence, keep in mind she wasn't reading the textbook with the class. "Things were not as Ridged as the Renaissance Era…" Lucy went on for ten minutes explaining her further knowledge about this certain topic. All the students stare at Lucy with amazement in her eyes; Lucy just carries on with her answer as if this question was had really obvious answer.
"That's about all I know so far. I'm apologize immediately if I forgot something" Lucy finishes her answer and sits back down.
"…A…Alright. It's all right. You covered all the important points" The teacher looks at Lucy with astonishment. He didn't think that she would get the right answer.
All students please listen to this important announcement. The speaker in the classroom suddenly turns on.
The schools 31th Magic Measurer will be held in two days. Make sure you are present on that day. Thank you. The quick announcement finishes and everyone starts to whisper about this strange event that is going to be held in two days.
Lucy didn't understand what this was just ignores it like everything else.
"Since you just transferred into this school you might not know what this test is about." Rufus says, trying to get Lucy's attention. "Should I tell you about this test?" Rufus asks.
"No thanks" Lucy says bluntly which makes Rufus gasp from shock. "This test is probably easy so it will be more interesting this way." Trying not sound cocky, Lucy admits to Rufus her confidence.
"A…Alright then. Don't blame me is you don't get the rank you want."
The day finishes quickly and Lucy gets up from her seat and runs out of the schools campus.
Lucy runs to the outside of a hospital. She catches her breath and walks in calmly.
"Ah! Miss Heartfilia! I see you are early as usual!" The nurse, who was standing behind the counter, smiles kindly at Lucy.
"Yeah… I wanted to see him as quickly as possible" Lucy flashes a fake bright smile at the nurse.
"Well then, he is in the usual room." The nurse directs Lucy to the 'usual' room.
"Thank you" As Lucy walks down the corridor trying to find a certain room, she could smell the different scents of medicine and the annoying beeping sounds of the cardiac monitors. Each inhale and each beep constantly brings up bad memories for Lucy.
She reaches the room '7777' and breathes in. She opens the door slowly and looks at the sleeping figure on the bed.
Lucy looks sad but forces herself to smile at him "Hey Cobra… Nice to see you again…"
