METAMORPHOSIS

I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL

This is my first Fairytail story...I hope you like it.

******CHAPTER 1******

Juvia was not what they considered a normal girl, especially not in her school where all the girls were beautiful, charming and rich. They all had family, friends, attended parties; they all lived a normal happy teenage life.

Her, on the other hand, was the charity case. She got a scholarship to attend the prestigious "fairy tail academy" last year. The Orphan, the ugly duckling, the poor, friendless girl with an uniform 2 times bigger than her size, weird hairdo and thick glasses.

She was at a disadvantage, not only in the looks and financial part,but also because her classmates have known each other since they were born , so no one seemed to care about her, they all had their own little group of friends.

Every day was the same for her, she woke up 3 hours before school, took a shower, got dressed, made breakfast to go and left her tiny studio to start the 2 hour trip to her school, got to school , attended her classes , made the 2 hours trip back home, worked on her homework , studied , ate dinner , cleaned and went to bed. Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday's were the exception, she had to work, do laundry, do the grocery shopping. So that was her life, nothing changed .

Sometimes she just wanted to give up, but the people from the orphanage that still talked to her (mostly staff) always told her how lucky she was , been able to live by herself, go to a great school that for sure will be able to get into fairy tail university with no problem and also with a scholarship. They all saw so many good things in her life that she didn't, they didn't know how alone she was, the only ones that acknowledge her were the teachers. They were nice but she could see the pity in their eyes and she hated it, that was the same look she got from the orphanage staff.

She wished she could be happy but that has never happened in her 17 years of life as far as she could remember. She wished for a friend but she didn't have one.

She foolishly thought once that someone loved her. she loved him because he made her feel pretty, she remembers she would get excited to see him, talk to him and even in spending the scraps of time he gave her. He started asking her to proof her love to him, so she did, that was the biggest mistake she had made. After the first time, she felt empty and after a few more times she felt lost and more depressed. She didn't feel loved at all, it was all pleasure for him but she felt nothing. All the books she read talked about this connection, the love, the feeling of been one but she felt nothing. After a while he disappeared with no word, after some time she found out he was a player, he used her. She never knew guys were like that, her heart broke and after that she was more depressed. She focused on school the only thing she was good at, and that got her the scholarship.

She thought that things would get better but then she had to move, then she had to attend this school that made her feel like she didn't belong.

She remembers the 1st day of school, she was happy she thought that her life was going to change and it will be good, that was wishful thinking on her part. Not only she was soaking wet, her hair was a mess and she lost her contacts ending up wearing her old glasses. Everyone made fun of her and after that she became the weirdo in the class.

Then one day she meet him, he was so handsome and had this charm that could make any girl fall for him. Yeah Juvia Loxar had a crush, his name is Gray . She thought he was new like her but actually he had been traveling with his family and had recently arrived in magnolia. In her eyes he was perfect except for the girl that was always next to him "his girlfriend" Lucy.

They were the perfect couple, have been dating for years.

Knowing that, she was satisfied by daydreaming and admiring him from afar while he played any sport or talked to his friends. She was realistic and knew he will never look at someone like her, but she liked to dream.

Then came that day...

"You're Juvia right?" Gray asked

She only nodded unable to answer and still in shock that he was talking to her.

"This is for you" he said shoving a bag to her

"Oh! Thank you Gray-sama " Juvia said

"Don't mention it, mother said we had to help the less fortunate so enjoy" her spat

"Ju- ... Thank you so much Gray-sama" she whispered feeling ashamed

"You don't belong here" he ran his fingers thru his hair " I don't understand how you can even think you'll fit in, look at you" He gave her a distasteful look and left

Juvia hugged the bag to her body feeling her eyes water , she wanted to scream , to throw the bag at him tell him that he can take his charity and shove it but she couldn't , she would never do something like that. So she hugged the bag with all the strength she had while tears rolled down her pail cheeks still looking at his retreated back.

She looked out the window, it had started to rain again and the clouds looked black, a strong storm was approaching. Sometimes she thought the weather reflected her mood because right now that is how she felt, sad, gloomy, tormented, alone, depressed... She needed to make a decision, will she continue or finally let it all end.
