*Flashback* In Lucy's POV

That day ruined me, it ruined every part of my body.

Let alone my heart.

Why?

I looked at the horizon and saw a pink-haired boy running towards me. "Luce!" was all I heard before the world went black again and showed me, 9 year old me, running in the rain, crying. Why was I crying? I know why. I know and remember it too well…..

Too well…..

I saw myself run towards a house. I opened it and saw nothing, every nook and cranny, every corner is empty.

Just leaving a single box in the center of the room.

I saw myself open the box and saw a necklace, a beautiful golden necklace shaped as a heart, a locket, inside a picture of him and me, hands on each other's shoulders and both of us raising a peace sign, smiling.

Rare.

I watched my crying figure until the world started going black again. I was back before I knew it, but not before I heard my little self whisper into the darkness….

"Natsu….."

*End of flashback*End of Lucy's POV

Lucy woke up to the sound of her alarm clock and sit up straight, groaning. "Damn." She cursed out before taking a glance at the 'shitty thing' that woke her up from her slumber.

"HOLY SHIT!" everyone woke up when they heard the blonde shrieking. They all groaned and took a look at their alarm clocks.

"SHIT!" Everyone cursed out except Wendy and quickly got up from their beds, rummaging inside their rooms and whispering curses the whole time. Everyone all took a quick bath, brushed their teeth, and took out and wore the first outfit they saw from their closets. It was the first day of this horrid year where they will all join schools with Tail high, now with their school, is called Fairy Tail high. They were happy that they can choose their own clothes to wear to school, not some crappy uniform.

Lucy was already at the car, leaning against the driver's door with an irritated scowl on her face and was wearing black, rough jeans matching her fingerless gloves, along with a strapless dark purple dress-shirt with a blue sleeveless bolero covering her back and shoulders until her chest height and black 15 inch combat boots. In other words, she looks badass. In her right hand was her BH sign and she was covering it in her combat gloves so that at a guy's first bad approach to her, their ass will be kicked worry free.

Everyone soon sprang out the doorways and ran inside the car, all sighing in relief that they got ready in just 15 minutes.

Lucy was now in the driver's seat in the school parking lot, waiting for that woman that was supposed to be their tour guide in the new school. Yup, now that their schools were joined with the delinquents', they were all transferred into one new school building that really awed the girls, excluding Lucy, Erza and Charles.

The purple-haired woman appeared out of nowhere and ran towards them, to be more accurate, towards Lucy. They all knew who she was and she was Laki, the school secretary. She was one of the people that would understand the pain they have been through, and always found a way to help them.

"Lucy! Girls! You're finally here I see!" she said as they all gave the older woman a hug. "Hello Miss Laki! How was your summer break?" Levy asked. "One of the best I had in years! But my mood died down a few weeks back when I found out our all-girls school will be joining one full of delinquents!"

"I KNOW RIGHT?!" Erza and Charles said as Mirajane and Wendy shushed them.

"Yup! I lost my reason for working here and I can't really resign because of my stupid contract." No wonder. The reason Miss Laki was working there was because of the fact that she too, had a bad past with boys and despised them, but now she was stuck seeing them for 2 more years. "Well, we will have to do this real fast now don't we? Come on, time to show you girls around." The girls all walked with Miss Laki into the school campus.

The campus was pretty big and spacious, the girls sighing in relief that it was enough space for them to keep their distance from boys. The exceeds all have their own class at the school roof, which Charles wasn't really satisfied with since she has sensitive skin against sunlight but resisted it anyway. They all wondered why they shouldn't be in class after Miss Laki showed them every classroom and after showing their new club room. She seemed to notice their confused and worried faces, because she spoke. "Today's classes are all closed up for now, you can just hang out in your clubroom. But after lunch, everyone has to go to the gym because there will be the testing of your magic to see which class rank you're gonna be in."

"Class rank?" Wendy asked.

"Yes, our school didn't have it before because we were too poor to buy a magic measure lacrima. Today you will give your best shots at it and whatever score you have, you will be put in either the S-class rank, A-class rank and so on until D-class rank." Miss Laki explained. "I'm pretty sure Lucy will have the highest score this year. I'm rooting for you Lucy!" "Thank you Miss Laki." Lucy thanked her and they all went to their new club room.

Like their old club room, it has a couch but the new one is larger. They all have their own areas where they could put anything they like in it, they all liked it when they found out the new one had more space. "Well, this school's something." Levy said as she plopped down on her area where she was planning on putting all her books in. "YUP! I have my very own space to put all my stuffed animals in!" Lisanna said as she happily jumped around her area like a five-year old. "And I can always put any stuff here, as long as there is a picture of Lucy-chan in the middle!" Juvia said as she raised her hands in the air already loving her spot. "I'm putting some of my armors in mine. What about you Wendy? Charles?" Erza asked as she prepared a list of armors she was gonna store in her territory. "Just my usual stuff, also with a picture of Lucy-nee-chan in the middle like Juvia-san suggested." Wendy said. "I agree whole-heartedly!" Charles raised a paw for assurance, she really wanted her idol to always be in her memory here. "Mira-nee? Don't you think you should put all the dresses you designed in your area?" Lisanna asked her big sister. "OMG! YES! THANK YOU LISANNA! And like everyone else, I also want to see my idol's face every day so I will put Lucy's picture up too!"

"Us too!" Lisanna, Erza and Levy said in unison. They all looked in their idol's direction only to see her wearing headphones listening to music, her back facing them. "Shhhhh!" Mirajane said as she tip-toed slowly to Lucy, the others following as they already know what was in their devious teammate's mind.

They all gathered up slowly and was about to pounce when Lucy beat them into it. They all got tackled to the ground by Lucy herself and she looked down on them with her caring eyes but straight face. "Aha! So you were all trying to surprise me!" she said, pointing at them as they all started crying animatedly. "Our surprise is ruined!" the others agreed crying dramatically as Lucy just ruffled all their hairs, Lucy being gentle a bit with Wendy's. "We love you Lucy!" They all said in unison as Lucy just stared at them with her caring eyes as she hugged them, trying to force a smile on her face but couldn't. "I love you guys too. I will always love you." Although she does, she just can't seem to grant their wish.

*a few hours later*

"Girls we have to go to the gym now." Lucy informed the girls as they all stood up from their area and walked out the club room.

They were about to enter the gym doors when a guy filled with piercings on his body blocked their way. Lucy was already pissed off seeing this guy and tried not to strangle the male stranger and just said "Just get out of the way. Are you allergic to doors or something?" the man just chuckled and that was raising her temper bar. "Well why would a woman like you come to this school?" she didn't focus on the rest of his words, but on the words 'woman like you'.

'woman like you' and that was her breaking point and directly punched him in the face, making him burst inside the gym doors and into the wall a few meters away. Lucy and the group went inside and everyone's eyes fell onto Lucy. The boys were all shocked but the girls were just calm but frightened, they already knew about the BH gang.

Lucy hated those words, those were one of the words spoken on that day, and she can't take it. The girls were shocked not at Lucy, the reason she punched them was what they were shocked about. They knew about her past, and those words are one of the reasons why she couldn't smile anymore, why she was completely broken.

The girls were enraged, but not as enraged as Juvia. She was about to slice her water through the man when Lucy lifted her hand up to stop her attempt. "No Juvia, it's okay."

"But—!"

"Juvia, its fine. Let's go, we can beat the shit out of this guy later." The girls all glared at the man and he raised the finger on them, but they ignored it as they went through the crowd of mage students and finally found a spot on the front. They all looked at a big barrier which is empty inside, but has a little ball in the center and on top of it was the number 0.

Lucy guessed that this was the magic measure lacrima.

"Hello brats! I'm master Makarov." They all turned their heads to the little old man standing outside the barrier. "Today will be our magic testing ceremony and I would say that I'm glad to meet you guys again! And also nice to meet you girls!" the old man said. 'Not nice meeting you at all asshole' the girls thought except Wendy and kept on listening. "Alright! Today we will all start our magic testing by clubs and groups! We will all be starting with the 2 schools' most popular club! And to make it fun, we all set up a little competition between them too! The most powerful between the two will get no homework for a month!" The girls smirked. "Ohoho! Now I'm in on this!" Levy said as she twirled with her pen, smirking. "Now let us start our magic testing and little competition!"

"PLEASE WELCOME! BB AND BH! CLUBS PLEASE COME AND LEADERS LEAD FORWARD!" Makarov shouted.

Lucy came forward and the rest of the group trailed after her. When the rest of the group got there they looked at their left to see their opposing team. Right then and there, Lucy was frozen. Right by her left side was a man with pink hair, wearing a black jacket. She was stunned, not him. Please tell me it's not him. But then the scarf around his neck proved it, that scarf.

She whispered but no one heard nor notice. "Natsu…"
