Author note: Yes I know that this is only the second chapter, I plan to
have a lot more. It is just that I'm having Cat 6 (formally known as the
Sat 9. If you don't know what I am talking about it is California testing
for all schools.) testing. I hate it. :'( When it is over I will have
plenty more. (Hopefully.) If the muses let it.
Disclaimer: Sadly I own nothing. Except Lucia, Calersia, Buexeria, and Professor Silva. So don't sue. @;P
Chapter 2- Buexeria
Lucia was stomping up the stairs, still shaking with furry about the fight. While making her way to her room, she tried to calm herself down and started murmuring things like, "Why does she act like that?" and "Who the hell does she think she is?" When she finally reached her room, she went in and slammed the door behind her. As soon as she sat on the bed she heard crying from downstairs. Great, she thought, here come the water works. She knew that what she said was harsh , but she had meant every word of it. "To many times," she murmured. "To many times I've been hurt and let down by that woman. It was only about time that I stood up to her."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The school bell rang and a five-year-old Lucia packed up her things for the long walk home. As much as she loved reading and learning new things, she hated school. Everyone hated her, including the teachers. In fact, it seamed as if the teachers detested her. Every time she would raise her hand in class to ask a question they dismissed her like she was nothing. However, the teachers weren't the big problem. They didn't force her to eat alone.
Lucia turned the corner toward her street, St. Juan rd. "Wow," she said as she made her way closer to home. " This would be my first time walking home without being pestered."
Then when she was just three houses down from her own, she heard a voice, " Boa tarde, feia."
Lucia turned to face the speaker. " Oh, great. I spoke too soon."
Standing before her were the last two people she wanted to see, Marline Cardoso, and her "body guard" Julia Mendes. They were well known for teasing Lucia. And them at an average 5ft. and her at 4ft. 2in. she could obviously do nothing about it. "Look Julia," Marline said. " It is our very best friend."
" I wouldn't be friends with you if you paid me 35 scudos a day," Lucia spat.
"Of course you wouldn't," Marline smugly replied. " You don't like having friends. Do you?"
"I have plenty of friends," Lucia lied. She knew she didn't have many friends, or any for that matter, but she wasn't about to admit that to the likes of Marline.
Julia, being the bully she was, cracked up at this statement. Marline just smiled wickedly and said, " Sure you do." She reached over and grabbed one of Lucia's books. " These are you best friends. And only friends."
When Lucia tried to get it back, Marline and Julia decided to make a game out of it. They played keep away from Lucia. Then Julia threw it purposely high. Marline "fake tried to catch" and the book ended up in the mud. "Oops, silly me," she said sarcastically with the look of pure innocence on her face. Then Marline and Julia went off laughing.
Lucia went over to where her book lay. She was upset, but not so much. She was use to such torment. She picked it up and tried to clean it off. She turned to go home only to notice her mother in the driveway, face filled with embarrassment.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lucia was just getting out of he trance when she heard a tapping noise at her window. She walked over to it and saw a tiny owl furiously tapping the glass. It looked like it had been there a while, and probably was, so she let it in. It fluttered around, dropped something on her dresser, and landed on the foot of her bed. Feeling rater guilty for not noticing it before, she went to her "secret stash" (not of pot, but candy) to get something for it.
"Hope you like chocolate," she said as she handed him (or her) the piece she had found. He (or her) hooted happily and flew out the window.
Still feeling odd about having an owl in her room, she closed the door after it. Then she turned to her dresser to see what it had dropped. A letter, she thought. Odd, I never get mail. Even from an owl, I would never expect me to get mail. She opened it and was rather shocked at its contents.

Professor Silva-Headmaster
Lucia put down the paper dumbfounded. The only thing she could seem to say was, " What the hell?"
Post Author note- OK in this story there may be some words that you will not know. These would be in Portuguese. Here are the translations for the ones in this chapter and the previous one:
Boa Tarde- good afternoon Feia- ugly Fila- daughter Horrivel- horrible Esta- this Es- is (duh, but incase you didn't know) Mae- mom Ay- is just an expression like my own (Arg). When Calersia says "Ay, fila!" The English equivalent would be "Oh, child!"
