DISCLAIMER***: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL

LUCY POV

Today was the last day of school. One of the schools both me and Rogue applied to was Fiore University one of the top schools, basically an Ivy League. Our group of friends promised to open letters all together, during lunch on the last day of school. Today. I wore jean shorts, and a ocean blue gem embedded tanktop. Once at school, I asked each of my friends if they got a letter from Fiore University yet. They all said yes.

***Timeskip to Lunch***

Here it was. My whole grade school career led up to this. Each of us delicately opened our letters.

(What my letter said)

Fiore University

Dear ,

We have received your application, and have accepted you to our university. Your dorm number and room mate is Scarlet. We look forward to seeing you this fall.

-Fiore University Council

My eyes opened as I looked up at Erza who looked at me. WE both screamed,"WE GOT IN! AND WE ARE ROOMMATES!" "I'm also the RA for our floor!" Erza yelled. Then gave each other a bone crushing hug. I looked over at Rogue who looked up at me. He was starting to worry me. Then he grinned at me, and said,"I got in.." Then he kissed me as the rest of our group started screaming and all screaming, "I got in!"

THE NEXT DAY

Today was graduation. "Graduating from the class of X832, Lucy Heartfilia! has also got the Outstanding Science Award, and she is valedictorian of this year! We also congratulate and her friends for acceptance at Fior University!" Everyone cheered as I got my diploma and went up to the mic, to do my speech. It went something like this:

First of all, I would like to thank my friends, teachers, and school staff that made this, including being accepted into my dream college possible. This year started off, with me in a sad desperate world. I would like to thank Rogue Cheney the most though. He saved me from my "family"'s torture. He helped me see better things in life. My school year was wonderful. I also believe that, we shouldn't judge people off of how they look or what family they come from. Each person is different, and should be accepted for who they truly are. We all live on one planet, so why not live in harmony? My senior year in high school has taught me a lot. But the one thing it taught me the most is, nothing is impossible. If you truly set your mind to it, you can do anything.

I finished as the crowd erupted in cheers, and I shook Principle Makarov and the SuperINtendent's hand. My friends swarmed the stage carrying me on their shoulders. For once, I truly felt free, and I was truly happy.

STAY ALERT! Story is not over yet!
