It's been a month now. Nothing has changed since erza and Lucy became friends. But lucy and erza were closer now, more than ever.
Erza always stuck up for Lucy. But like the others would ever change. So lucy acted as if nothing changed.
Lucy changed quickly in the locker room. And hid in the storage room before everyone came flooding in.
Lucy sat in the storage room again. It was gym, she made sure to close the door when she came in so no one would come in. Luckily it opens from the inside.
Lucy hugged her legs as she waited till class ended. She thought she would be alone the entire time. But it came to an end when the doorknob was moving.
She held her breath. She'd be in trouble if she was discovered. She heard a small knocking, as if someone knew she was in here.
Realizing who it was Lucy slowly got up and twisted the door handle. Erza peeked in. "Mind if I come in?" Lucy opened the door and let her in. Making sure no one else seen.
Lucy sat her self on the floor again, the same spot before she got up. Erza sat next to her. They sat in a comfortable silence.
"Why are you in here? I thought you liked sports" Lucy said. Erza breathed in. "Because I'd knew you'd be alone in here. And I am your friend so I can't just leave you in here"
Lucy smiled. She actually decided to miss gym and hang out with Lucy. Lucy felt something warm in her chest.
"So. What do you usually do in here?" Erza asked. Lucy looked at her "nothing. Just sit here mostly" erza looked back at her.
"That's fine with me" erza yawned and leaned back. She closed her eyes. Lucy stared in amazement.
For that entire time in gym. They sat together, accompanying one another, never saying a word. In comfortable silence they enjoyed each others company.
When Lucy went back to change, her clothes were gone. She panicked. Her and erza searched everywhere for them. Lucy's heart sank when she realized the only place they didn't check.
The bathroom.
They check all the stalls. Lucy found them in the third last stall. Lucy's clothes were soaking wet in the toilet. Someone tried flushing them down the toilet.
Lucy had to go around in her gym clothes the rest of the day.
…
Lucy walked down the halls the next day. She stopped in front of her locker. She put the code in and opened the locker door.
She was greeted with papers flying out and her locker spray painted. A huge red X was now her locker door.
"ugly white trash"
"You know you don't belong here"
"Just leave already"
"Ugly blonde. I bet your hair is bleached"
"Filth"
Lucy picked up the papers after reading them. She hurried more and more as people started snickering. A hand came in and helped her pick up everything.
Erza grabbed Lucy's pile and threw them out. Not caring what the kind of papers they were. Lucy grabbed her text books and slammed her door.
The person who did it was obvious so they didn't bother telling on them or anything of the sort.
Lucy just headed to class. Erza said a few words to Lucy before they separated, but lucy didn't hear. She was blanked out at the moment, thinking.
Lucy just wanted this to end. All of it.
Lucy and erza walked together until they separated. When they separated they said their good byes. Once Lucy went around the corner. Erza clutched her fist and walked back towards school.
Anger rushed through out her. There was a black aura as she walked. People cleared a path where ever she went.
When she found the people responsible, she didn't hold back.
Erza grabbed one of the girls by the collar and threw her to the ground. The girls immediately started panicking.
"Why the hell are you guys after her so much?!" She shouted. "What?" The girl questioned. That made erza's blood boil, how they questioned her.
"Leave Lucy alone." She said calmly. Trying to hold in her anger.
"Or what" spiteful, the girl smiled as she got up. Erza punched her in the face, knocking her to the ground once more.
Erza didn't give it her all so she wasn't hurt that bad. But she did get a bloody nose.
"If you guys ever go after her again I swear I'll do even worse"
Erza wanted to do so much more to them. But she figured it was enough to scare them. She turned on her heel and walked home. Not looking back.
Erza prayed they would leave her alone now. She seen what they did to her when Lucy first came to the school.
She knew what lucy has went through.
It seemed like they were holding back, waiting for something bigger. Erza could tell the locker scene was a warning of some sort.
Erza was praying for it not to happen. Whatever they were planning.
…
It was the weekend now. It seemed like paradise when ever it was the weekend. Away from school. The only downside was that she wouldn't be able to see erza.
Lucy wondered the halls of her house. It sucked this weekend because her father was gone for a business trip.
Ever since Lucy's mother died of an illness. It was lonely. She hated her school. It sickened her how her school called her mother a 'prostitute'. And everyone actually believed it.
Lucy's mother was doctor. It was a shock when we found out she was sick.
Her school practically shunned Lucy away. All because they were jealous of her wealth. Lucy went into her room.
"Hey your that heartfilia kid right?"
"yeah, why?"
"Nothing.."
"Hey did you want to be best friends?"
"I am!"
"I'm her best friend!"
Everyone wanted to be Lucy's friend in the beginning. When they found out she was a heartfilia they all came bothering her. But in the end they tried using her.
Lucy isn't the dumb blonde everyone thinks. She seen straight through them. What they were all really like. Maybe that's why nobody liked her, and shunned her.
"I'm sorry, I...can't be neither of your guys best friend"
"why not?"
"I don't really know you guys..."
"oh.."
Lucy yawned and plopped onto her bed. Her eyes felt heavy and her body ached. She went under the blanket. Once she was warm she closed her eyes.
A thick inky darkness flooded her sight.
.
"Nobody likes you Lucy"
She was in a dark room all by herself. She looked everywhere for the source of the voice. Or a way out.
Soon she heard everyone laughing.
"You're just a spoiled rich kid"
People surrounded her. They started pointing at her. She felt weak in the knees, from all the attention. They started laughing.
"Just the sight of you digust me"
Lucy fell on her knees. She felt scared. Millions of faces surrounded her. They all laughed and pointed at her.
"You're a selfish person"
Someone threw an egg at her hair. It was exploded within impact.
"Selfish!"
Another one came, soon a dozen more. Lucy started crying and hugging her self. "Please don't!" She pleaded. Her hair and everywhere else was covered with raw eggs.
Lucy cried and cried. She looked up and her vision blurred.
.
She jumped up in her bed. Everything went silent. She was in her room again. The sun shined in from the window. There was no dark room, or eggs in be hair.
Lucy was still in her clothes from yesterday. She looked at the time, it was 12.
There was a knock at the door.
"Miss Lucy? There's someone here for you at the door"
She rubbed her eyes and opened the door. Virgo was standing there. "Shall I go get-" Lucy cut her off "I can go get it my self Virgo. But thanks"
She walked to the front door. She grabbed the handle and breathed in.
Lucy opened the front door. Erza was standing there, clutching her bag.
"Erza?" Erza looked relieved when she seen lucy. She hugged Lucy, tighter than that time at the swig set.
"H-hi?"
