Smile for me:
~Lucy P.O.V~
Today is the day! My first day at school! I'm so excited, I'm finally at the Fairy Tail High School! Don't ask me about the name, I know it's a little weird but it's one of the top schools in the country.
I came to Magnolia to escape my dad who was abusing me. Ever since my mother died, my dad started using violence on me because he thought that it was my fault that mom died. But let's not talk about this, I don't want to be all gloomy at the first day of school! I'm going to be optimistic and smiling!
I slowly get out of bed and start preparing for school. Half an hour later, I'm ready and I head to the kitchen in my apartment. I fry some eggs and prepare a grilled cheese. Once I'm done preparing breakfast I start eating and five minutes later I'm done.
I go out of my apartment and once I'm done, I lock the door and head over the school. My apartment isn't really that far from my school. It will probably take ten minutes to get to school walking.
While I walk I realize that Magnolia is really a beautiful city. I continue admiring the city for twenty minutes while walking. It took me a little long because I visited some places as well too, for example a park.
As I come to see Fairy Tail High, I become stunned. It's so big! I didn't expect it to be that huge. I enter in the school's territory while admiring it.
The entrance of the school has tiles leading to the doors to go in and grass surrounding it. The path goes to a few other ways too. I will discover that at lunch when I have free time. Who knows? Maybe I will even get a guide!
I go towards the entrance and enter in the building. I get my schedule from the office and read what my classes are today.
I see the following classes:
First Period: Math
Second Period: English
Third Period: Chemistry
Lunch
Fourth Period: History
Fifth Period: Japanese Language Arts
Sixth Period: Physical Education
Alright, my first period is math. I check how much time I have left. I have 15 minutes. Enough time to put my things in my locker, take my math materials and head over to my class.
I check the number of my locker and after a few minutes of search I finally find it. I put the lockers number, open it then put my materials into my locker. All besides my pencil case, my math books and my art notebook. I never separate from my notebook and my pencils because art should follow me everywhere I go.
Yes I love art, it's a passion of mine. I like drawing my feelings out on a piece of paper. It's one of the only things that I have left from my mother, art.
When I finish arranging my stuff and closing my locker, I see a bluenette struggling to put her stuff in her locker. I was minding my business until I see that book. It's my favorite book of all time! The title is Life as a Movie, the book tells the story of a teen that wants to become an actor and her life has so much drama that sometimes she says: "My life is just as a movie".
I go towards her and say: Need help?
Girl: No no it's fine.
Me: Is this Life as a movie?
Girl: YES! I mean yes. D-did you read it?
She seemed really desperate to know if someone read the book. I think she found no one yet who knows about it so she must be really happy about thinking that I know about it. Maybe she is a bookworm just like me! Yes! Let's try my chance to make a friend!
Me: Yes! It's my favorite book!
Girl: Seriously? Me too!
Me: Yea! I think they should make a movie out of it!
Girl: Yessss! That would be so cool! Oh, by the way I'm Levy! Nice to meet you!
Me: Nice to meet you too! I'm Lucy!
Levy: Do you want to hang out at the library at lunch? I would really like to show you some really nice books!
Me: Yea sure!
Levy: What's your first class?
Me: Math!
Levy: Yay! We have the same class!
Levy looks at her watch and says: There's 1 minute left we better get going.
She shows me a little while we are heading to the class and just as the bell ring we are in.
I decide to take my seat in the front row next to Levy. We take out our stuff, we sit and we wait for the teacher to come in the class and the second bell to ring.
As we were waiting we see various students entering the classroom and the last one coming in was a boy with pink hair (A/N: SALMON! I just had to do it guys…) and he had a dark aura surrounding him. He looked like he was in pain. I wonder what happened to him…
I snap out of my daze by Macao, our teacher entering in the classroom and saying: Hello class and I would like to announce you all that we have a new student. Lucy tell 2 things that describes you so we can get to know you a little.
I stand up and say: I like reading books and I like drawing.
I hear a voice saying: Great another nerd.
I immediately snap my head at him and give him a death glare, it was great enough to make him at least shut up for the rest of the class.
As the class start, I unconsciously look back at Natsu and observe him. I wonder, did he have a similar pain as mine? Or even bigger?
I am too curious now, I'm going to ask Levy. I wait until Macao has his back turned and say to Levy: I'm just curious, who is that pink haired guy?
Levy looks at him in pity and says: He's Natsu Dragneel…don't mind him if he is rude it's because he's sad since the incident…
Me: Which incident?
Macao turns back to us and say: So does everyone understand this?
Class: Yes sir.
Macao: Ok then let's switch to…
As he turns back, Levy leans closer to me and whispers: His mom died giving birth to him so only his dad was left but eight years ago, when he was ten, his dad disappeared suddenly. We don't know what happened to him. Natsu also had to survive in ways being homeless because his dad was not there to pay the rent of their house anymore. He faced some traumatic experience.
Me: He didn't smile since then?
Levy: No but I believe one day someone will make him smile, maybe it's you. Who knows?
Levy's words were in my head for all the class. I want to see his smile at least once. I don't know why but I have this strong feeling that I have to make Natsu smile.
Smile for me…
