Lucy pov
Beep beep beep! My alarm clocked screeched at me. I knocked it off of my nightstand into my lap and turned it off. Unfortunately, I had to go to school again... like everyday… I really hate school. It's not that I hate the work or learning, I love those things, plus getting out of this prison is always a plus, but the people I just can't stand at all.
I tied my hair into pigtails and put on my uniform. My clock said 7:30, I was going to be late! All I could grab was a piece of melon bread for breakfast before I sprinted out the door. This day already sucked.
…..
Giggles. I hear giggles all around me. It's already starting. "Hey look it's that mute girl." "She's such a nerd!" "Why does she even go here? She has no friends and no one wants her here." I just looked at the ground. They do this everyday. Trust me, I'm 100% used to it. I didn't even mind it anymore. It was just really annoying. Like really, go bother someone else for once and leave me all alone for a day! Please!
I approached my locker to get some books out of, and noticed the word "loser" painted across. That was the queue, because everyone started laughing. Definitely annoying.
Once I closed my locker door, I noticed someone standing behind it. He was HUGE! I recognized this guy anywhere, since he abused me everyday… It was one of the guys from the football team, Felix Derek. I saw him smirk at me.
This was it. I could see his fist coming closer to my face. I could either be punched in the face, or block him, but that's a bad idea. I'm supposed to be the quiet nerd in this school, not the tough one who could beat you up. I closed my eyes and braced for the impact.
…..
"You shouldn't let them do this to you, Lucy." Said Porlyusica. I just shrugged. I mean this happened everyday, maybe even a few times a day. After smiling at her, I got up, grabbed my books, and left. First period had already started, so I decided to walk up to the roof. I climbed to the start of the stair when I remembered something.
Flashback:
"Mommy! Mommy I just learned a new song! Would you like to hear me sing it?"
Layla Heartfilia smiled. Her daughter had a real gift for singing. "I would love to."
"Here I go!" shouted Lucy triumphantly.
"It's happening all the time
When I open my eyes
I'm still taken by surprise
I hold sunlight and swallow fireflies
And it makes me want to cry
I love you
I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
We were walking there
And I had tangles in my hair
But you make me feel so pretty
You have shining eyes just like the forest lights
And it makes me want to cry
I love you
I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
This place is so lovely
The kind that makes me very happy
Let's go far away to the humming meadow
To the humming meadow
To the humming meadow"
Layla smiled again. How she would miss this.
End of flashback
I looked over the roof of the school and saw everything, the city where I lived in the distance, cherry blossoms blooming near the river towards the side of the school, and people yelling and having fun playing soccer. It was beautiful, but I could only appreciate it from afar. It's highly doubtful ill ever fit in again. Since I don't talk, I'm pretty much well the outcast.
Really I missed this. But I don't want to talk to people anymore. Tears came to my eyes as I thought of the memory again, and I began to sing the song.
"…To the humming meadow."
I turned back around to grab a book to read from my backpack, but instead I was met by curious eyes. Big onyx eyes. OH NO!
