Luck of the Unwanted~
Chapter 2
We finally made it to the new place I will be staying. I got out of the car and stared in anticipation. The house wasn't special in any way. It was your everyday average two story house. But it felt different than most. It felt warm and loving. That was until I walked in.
When I walked in, there was a girl around the age of 12 and a boy maybe a year older me. As I walked in, they turned and looked at me. The little girl stood and smiled. She made her way over to me and welcomed me.
Then there was the boy. He was a bit…. Different than most. The boy had abnormal pink hair and black eyes. He quite a bit taller than me too. The boy just looked at me a bit confused.
"Um…. Who is she?" He asked.
"Natsu this is Lucy. Lucy this is Natsu." The woman introduced with a smile. Come to think of it I still didn't know who she was.
I took out my white board and quickly wrote:
"Excuse me. I still don't know your name." I then looked at her nervously.
"Oh good heavens. I never introduced myself!" She said with a sudden exclamation. After that she cleared her throat and pointed to herself.
"I am Grandine. That over there is my husband, Igneel. The little girl there is Wendy. And the boy is Natsu. He is a few months older than you are." She finished with a smile at her… accomplishment?
'Nice to meet you. My name is Lucy Heartfilia. Call me Lucy.' I wrote.
"Nice to meet you Lucy-san." Wendy said with a smile. Natsu still stood a bit bewildered.
"Uh mom? What's wrong with her?" He asked.
"Natsu!" She barked.
"What? I am just asking a simple question!" He defended.
"Lucy come with me. Your room is right this way." Grandine said as she grabbed my other suitcases. We then exited the room, but not before she turned and glared at Natsu.
After that I was shown to my room. It was a room any girl my age would have. It had a bed, dresser, side table, a few shelves, and a desk. The room had pale pink walls with white trimming and chocolate brown floors. On the floor was a fluffy white rug.
I stood baffled at the beauty of the room while Grandine set my things down.
"I am glad you like the room. I apologize for Natsu's behavior. There is something…. Wrong with him in the head." She said with a giggle. I smiled in return.
How good it feels to be with a family that can joke around and have fun…. I am liking this already.
"Also Lucy, we enrolled you into school. Starting Monday you will be going to Magnolia High. I'll leave you to unpack. Come and get me if you need any help." And with that she left.
After she closed the door, I stood there probably smiling like an idiot. I couldn't help but spin around the room and fall onto the bed. My whole life has been a complete mess and it is finally starting to turn around.
I sat for a second before deciding to finally get up and start unpacking. After I was almost finished, Wendy knocked on the door and brought me my uniform.
"Here Lucy-san. Your uniform arrived. Do you need any help making your bed or something like that?" Wendy said as she went to the other side of my bed. She grabbed a half of the sheets and tucked them underneath the mattress. We then grabbed my pink comforter and placed the pillows.
'Thank you Wendy-chan' I wrote.
"You're welcome. Supper will be done soon so make sure you come down when you finish." Wendy said as she walked out of my room and down the stairs.
Once Wendy left, I put my clothes in the drawer and hung some up in the closet. I put up pictures of my Mom and Dad. I stood there reminiscing for a bit until I heard Grandine calling for me that supper was ready. I laggard for a second before quickly scurrying down the stairs with one thought in my head:
'Look where I am now… Mama…. Papa…'
I quickly walked into the dining room to find a seat for me beside… Natsu.I slowly made my way to my place only to find a plate already made.
"Wendy went ahead and made a plate for you." Grandine confirmed.
'Thank you.' I mouthed. On my way down I accidently forgot my white board and it would be rude to leave and get it now.
Everyone ate in a comfortable silence. Well maybe for everyone else it was comfortable, but not for me. Beside me you could almost feel the aura that Natsu was not happy about my presence living in this house. And because I didn't bring my white board, I couldn't ask what was wrong. Although I already knew the answer.
Once everyone finished, Grandine got Wendy in the kitchen and they did the supper dishes and cleaned up the kitchen while Natsu and Igneel went into the living room and turned on the tv. I was about to go back upstairs to my room when Grandine called me and Natsu.
"Lucy come here. Natsu you too." She said as she waited for us too make our way to the kitchen.
"Yeah?" Natsu said in a bored tone. Is he always this rude?
"Since tomorrow is Sunday, I want you to show Lucy around town." She explained.
"Hasn't she always lived here?" He questioned which made me a bit nervous. Grandine looked at me as if to ask for permission which I gave a slight nod.
"Lucy hasn't really had a chance to go out and enjoy the city in a few years. I want you to show her all of the cool sights around town. Take her to some cool stores or restaurants." Grandine explained.
"But that is so unfair! I had things planned tomorrow!" He exclaimed.
"Natsu Dragneel, I gave you an order and you will do it." She said sternly. As long as I have known her (Going on a few hours now) she has been sweet and even tempered. Maybe she's is one of those ones where you shouldn't get on her bad side….
"Fine…." He sighed. After that he glared at me.
"Hope you are ready tomorrow." He said with a smirk. As he went upstairs to his room.
'It's really okay.' I mouthed to Grandine while waving my arms frantically.
"Nonsense. Have fun tomorrow!" She said returning to her work.
I sighed and walked up to my room dragging my feet in cheerless fashion. Once up the stairs, I went in the direction I thought my room was in. I opened a few doors only to be unsuccessful.
The first door I opened was the bathroom. Then the hallway closet. Later was what I am assuming was Wendy's room. Wendy's room was a beautiful sky blue with white trim like mine and clouds painted on her walls.
The last door I opened was one I wish would have remained closed. Inside was Natsu's room. His room had fire red walls with black trim. On his walls were posters of dragons and other things. On his desk CDs laid in stacks. Natsu sat at his desk with headphones in.
The music was so loud that I could actually make out what the song was. He was listening to Linkin Park- What I've done. I knocked just to make sure he wouldn't get mad for not doing so and looked around for a pen and paper.
Finally I found some and walked over to him. I tapped him on the shoulder and he jumped snatching the earphones out.
'Linkin Park huh?' I wrote. He looked a bit confused so I motioned to the music. Is he an idiot?
"You know Linkin Park?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
'Yeah. Their songs helped me through a lot over the years.' I noted. He nodded in return.
"Can I ask you something?" I just nodded.
"Why can't you speak?" I froze.
'I don't wanna talk about it.' And walked out the room. Maybe I can ask Wendy….
I walked back to the top of the stairs about to walk down when I noticed a piece of paper attached to the door. The paper read: Lucy-san this is your room. Hope this helps! –Wendy
I am an idiot….
I quickly opened the door and walked in. It's amazing how different this room is compared to my other one, how much warmer it feels. Now I have another thing to gain.
Natsu's trust.
