I do not own Fairy Tail! Dude, I wish.

Prologue

"Please father! I really want to go! I'll keep my grades up, I swear!" Lucy pleaded hands clamped together between her face and her father's chest. Her brown eyes sparkled with emotion that she hoped would sway his decision.

Her father, Jude Heartfilia, stood tall with his arms crossed and an eyebrow raised at his daughter before him. He could tell that she was almost close to kneeling on the carpeted floor of his office, he didn't know how long she could hold on. She had been asking him for almost a year for her to switch to public school, at least 20 times now.

Lucy Heartfilia was a young 16-year-old teenager who has been homeschooled her whole life. Once she was old enough to start school her father wanted her homeschooled with tutors and scholars with long and high degrees. Her mother never said anything of it because a part of her believed that as well, for Lucy's wellbeing. That was until she died just two years later.

Lucy and her father took it very hard, both started to digress in the progress of life. Jude's business clients were dropping like flies while Lucy's schoolwork wasn't getting done or she wasn't very involved in any extracurriculars.

It took years of them to get everything together with the two of them, but they now have a loving and respected relationship.

Now, the blonde teen was trying to sway her father's mind about her going to public school. She's watched several shows and movies about how they always have fun or even have drama. Lucy wants to have adventures or even talk to someone other than her tutors and her father's clients.

"Lucy, I don't know. Public school isn't what it was years ago. If you want to go to public school you'll have to be protected and your scores would have to be exemplary," Her father pointed out as he sat in his office chair, spinning his chair to face his desk to see his daughter stand in front of his desk with her hands splayed out against the wood.

"Yes, I swear. Everything will be perfect, and I'll get even more brownie points on my college application," the blonde girl tried to get her father on her side with pros for her proposition with a cheeky wink.

His eyebrow raised once more at her, lifting papers and pens around on his desk and taking a glance to his computer before addressing her, "You are really adamant this time, aren't you?" he asked, watching her nod her head enthusiastically, Jude sighed, "I'll think about it okay. Do not ask again until I've made my decision."

Lucy clapped her hands with a swift and loud 'thank you' before she ran off to her room. Jude sighed to himself as he typed across his keyboard with a soft smile on his face.

Lucy slammed the bedroom door behind her while a big smile on her face when she flopped back on her bed with a sigh. She really hoped that her father would let her go, Lucy wanted to make friends and have fun other than her life here in the mansion.

After everything that had happened in the past 10 years, Lucy really needed someone to be her friend or a shoulder to cry on. Her free hand, that wasn't trapped under herself, landed on the same pillow that held a ton of stray tears along those years.

Sighing and grabbing her laptop off the side table to go on her social media site. She never told her father about having one. Lucy thought he might not approve of her having one, having her business for everyone to see, however, she never posted anything too bad.

She had only 100 friends from her father's client's kids and the only things she posts are sunset photos and emotional quotes that sometimes make her laugh. The only photo that had her face in it was her profile picture, a photo of her in her mother's garden that her father's bodyguard had taken next to some tulips.

Posting on her page in loud capital letters, DAD IS THINKING ABOUT LETTING ME IN PUBLIC SCHOOL! She was super excited, she felt that this would be a big step for her in the right direction. To have friends, to have some likes and one comment of, 'why not just go to private school? It's so much better than disgusting public school.'

To be honest, she had thought about asking to go to a private school in the past, but it just seemed like a waste of money for her. To go to a school where she was learning at the same rate she's at now but with the nasty and hard to love people that go along with it?

No thanks.

Private school only had the learning part she wanted, the private tutors, the fancy meals, or even the easy homework but in public school, she could have normal people, normal life, and lots of fun adventures with other kids that weren't rich. She could have a challenge for once and not be given everything in her life.

The next few days went by fast, each and every day Lucy was waiting and waiting for her dad's decision. Going to her classes and tutors became a chore to her, all she wanted was to go to public school and have fun, but she still had to continue on her whole life.

Walking down the hall from her chemistry lesson with Dr. Yamma she pasted her father's study to see him at his desk typing away, she wanted so bad to ask him if he made up his mind about it yet. But her hand tapped the door handle before making her way down to her room. Lucy hoped that if she listened to him this time, he would listen to her.

"Lucy!" she heard just as she entered her own room. Spinning her head to see her father standing outside his study doorway, with his arms crossed and a soft smile on his face.

The sound of her steps echoed through the hallways when Lucy stood in front of her father with a smile, "Yes father?" hopefully the sweetness of her voice didn't bring down his opinion.

"Come sit, I have to talk to you," he spoke as he turned to walk to his desk and Lucy skipped to the chair seated before him. Before she hated sitting here in front of him, being scrutinized by him or yelling entirely in her face; now though she felt a sense of excitement and giddiness inside her muscles.

He sighed through his mustache at his daughter, her big brown eyes shone right in his own coffee brown eyes. "You've done well this semester, all A's and several praises from your tutors. I've heard that you've shown up early and even stayed over in your English9901 class," Lucy looked as his fingers typed away on his desktop to his right as he talked. She remembered staying after to ask him about her paper that she supposedly got a 'C' on and she was trying to get him to boost up the grade to at least a 'B'.

Lucy hummed as she nodded her head, swinging her legs underneath the leather chair that sat next to the empty one beside her. Clicking more keys until Lucy heard the printer behind him come to life, printing a few papers before stopping altogether, "I expect to see this same progress in the next semester. I expect to see you excel in your extracurriculars,"

His voice and his words made her pause, was he not letting me go to public school? Her shoulders slumped and her smile fell from her lips. Lucy leaned back in the chair as she felt defeated. She would just have to try next semester. Lucy wasn't one to give up so easily.

"So, when school starts up in August, I expect the best from a Heartfilia," he stated as he handed her the papers that were just recently printed behind him. Lucy took it and peeked once before taking a second glance at the papers.

It was a schedule for classes for the next year. Her name at the top with a school ID and a date on when school starts again.

Lucy's eyes shot up to her father's gentle smile, "Are you serious?" her voice was just an octave higher than normal. She shot up to her feet as she looked back down to the sheet again to see the glorious classes that she was going to be taking. "Are you serious?" she asked again.

He nodded his head, "You will be starting Fiore High next August."

All that could be heard in that study was a high pitched scream and a few different screams after that.

Hello! I'm aware that this is short but it is the prologue and I want to make this nicer so I will try to write all of this out before posting it.
