Chapter 3: Fairy Tail
Lucy leaned back in her chair and pulled out her blue IPOD TOUCH. Lucy smiled at the birthday present she got from Erza. A boy on the other side of the room caught her eye. Looking over he smirked and mouthed "Call me".
Lucy cleared her throat in disgust and shoved her earpieces into her ears.
I found all of these things
(Love letters, receipts of jewelry I've never seen)
So now I am taking
(I'm taking my love, my respect and my dignity)
Remember the night that I've spent all alone
(You remember that? 'Cause I do)
When you were out with your new chick
I was home, see I-
Too depressing, Lucy thought as she switched it off. Closing her eyes (to the dismay of the teacher) Lucy found herself asleep.
Flashback*
"Daddy! Daddy! Look at what I made".
Lucy age six burst into her father's study. Her father put down his papers with a grunt of annoyance.
"Why aren't you with your mother?"
"…"
"Damn it all, Layla can't you keep your child under control!"
Lucy's lip trembled and tears threatened to fall.
"B-But daddy, mommy said I could spend time with you."
Pointing towards the door her father towered over her.
"Leave. Now."
Sulking Lucy walked to the door.
"But it's my birthday."
And the tears that were so close to the surface fell.
End Flashback*
Lucy woke with a start to Levy looking over at her.
"Are you okay?"
It was then that realized she was sweating. Lowering her eyes she wiped her shirt across her forehead.
"Yeah"
Levy looked doubtfully at her. Lucy saw her gaze dart to the door and then down to her books. Looking at the clock, an apologetic smile made its way to her face.
"You should go on ahead to lunch I'll follow behind shortly after."
"But-"
"I Am Fine!"
Lucy finally lost her cool. All that effort, Lucy thought bitterly, and it snaps 'cause of a dream. Nice going Luce now she thinks you're a freak.
But Levy did not think that. Instead she felt a wave of pity for the girl.
"Im suppose to meet Erza" Lucy says vaguely.
Levy nod s and point to two big doors.
"That's the Lunch room".
