LUCY P.O.V.
I always having to second guess myself into the hall of this high school, and I'm just a very smart student who happens to be on the debate team. Who am I to everybody at this school? I'm a nobody, but even so I still try not to rock the boat. I'm trying to open the doors to Magnolia High, but then someone comes rushing through the door like if they are running away from the police. All my books fell, and my sweater fell up for a couple of seconds, so now I'm just trying to keep my sweater on. This is high school where I know people try their best to look good, but I try to keep my body and looks to myself. By wearing a long shirt with yoga pants, and I see my best friend in the whole world. Her scarlet hair is bouncing with every step she takes through the hallway.
"Good morning Lucy" She says so sweetly as she grabs my shoulders and starts pushing me towards my first class, gym class. Dang it! I hate gym class! I mean I love playing sports, but doing gym class. It is horrible being in that class, but at least I have Levy in that class.
"Good morning Erza"She smiled at me as she hands me a muffin, and apple juice. "Thank you" I quickly reply before biting into the muffin.
" It's your favorite, banana nut muffin" She states before biting into her own, and I light groan from eating it. I love these muffins, and she always give me these in the mourning. They are light, fluffy, delicious muffins that I have no problem eating everyday. I wonder where she gets them because I want to buy a dozen or two for myself. I'm walking towards the locker room with Erza, and we are almost there, but I'm not paying attention until I hear her screaming my name. I turned back to her.
"What did you say?"
"I was trying to tell you that you are going to first pep rally of the year." I rolled my eyes when I heard the words pep rally.
"Do I really have to go?" She gave me a glare, and I quickly gulped. "I'm kidding, of course I'll go" She nodded as she hugged me goodbye before going to class. Here's the thing about this pep rally, I honestly don't want to go, and cheer on the football team for catching a ball, and getting a massive head injury. I mean, I love the sport, but when sitting in those bleachers. I don't want to be alone, and before you say, what about Erza, well she's a cheerleader, and she going to be down on the field including Levy, and Mirajane. They are all cheerleaders, so they are all going to be at the pep rally. Don't get me wrong, I want to be there for my friends, but I don't want to be alone, in crowd. I'm literally going to be a face in a crowd, and I honestly would rather have a friends with me at least. That really doesn't matter at this point, but the most important thing I have to get ready for gym class. Even though I'm the first one here, and it's 15 minutes before school actually starts. I quickly walk over to my locker with the pink lock on it, and I put in the combo then grabbed my clothes traded out my book bag. Then I ran over to a stall to change my clothes, and ran back to my locker to put my regular clothes in there, but I always wear the standard uniform. I have the gym joggers, and a t-shirt. I tried my best to cover up as much as I can, but there's only so much I can do. I hear light footsteps coming from behind me, so I turned around to see Levy there in here cheerleader's uniform. I forgot there's a clause in the uniform policy if you play in any sport you're allowed to wear it as gym clothes, but I have to admit she looked so cute in her uniform. I quickly gasp then hugged her.
"Good morning Lucy, you ready for gym?" I quickly laugh as I let go, and tie my shoes. I got off the bench, and took a deep breath.
"Honestly, I just want to go back to bed." I complained before she started pulling on my arm.
"Well, you can't go home. Plus you're coming to our pep rally, right?" I stood silent for a couple minutes. "RIGHT?!"
"Of course" I shouted in a very high pitch voice, and then I heard a someone sigh, and something about me, but not paying attention to them. Well, I wasn't until I noticed it was Angel, and her friends that included Sherry, Flare, Minerva, and whoever else they hang out with. Now, I'm trying my best to hide myself away from them, so I won't be picked on first thing in the mourning. They are all on the cheerleading team, so I've seem them around when I go hang out with Erza, Levy, or Mirajane. Even so I don't want to start anything, but I don't think that is going to happen today.
"Lookie here girls, we have miss Lucy Heart-fill-me-up" Angel starts her usually teasing for the day. "I see you have a muffin in your hand. I got to tell you Lucy, you need to start cutting down on carbs because it's like every single time I see you, you have food with you, and honey I just got to tell you. Compulsive eating is not the answer because then you gain weight." I just trying my best to look at her as I hold my muffin in my hand. Then Cheri joined in
"Well you know Angel, I think she's been doing this for awhile since you know, you can see her roll on her stomach already. So how long have you been doing this? 3 years? 2?" At this point I'm trying my best to cry as they are trying to touch my body as I swat them away. I quickly run up the stairs to the gym, and also it was my only way to escape. I hear Levy coming up the stairs right behind me.
"Lucy are you ok?" She puts her hand on my shoulder, but before I turned around I wiped my tears away, and put a smile on.
"I'm fine, let's get in the line for gym" We run over to our numbers, and sat down on the floor, and waited for the teacher comes through the doors. This is going to be a long day….
Later on the day….
It's barely 5th period, that means it's history class, which is my favorite class of all. Mainly because we get to debate hot topic issues. Although most people don't like it when I actually bring the real world factors to our debate. I guess people don't want to hear the truth with the real world. I try my best to keep my facts/opinions to myself, and keep quiet, because I have nobody.
"Now class, today I'm going to assign you to a partner, and side to argue for. Also your topic will chosen by picking out of this jar. There are multiple issues including politics, racism, laws/bans, and environmental issues in today's society." Oh great! Now, I have to work with someone in this class! I have no allies! This is going to be a bad experience especially because of the people in this class. I'm in the a class with all the jocks, and cheerleaders which includes Angel and her crew, and it also doesn't have any of my friends.
"Can I have flabby? I mean Lucy?" Angel states before laughing with her friends, and I just rolled my eyes. I hold my breath because I didn't want to cry, and I was trying my best. If I'll be damned! My teacher just gave her look before moving on to the rest of class.
"Anyways I already have your names on the board, and Angel you're partners with Toby" I saw her slowly imploded in her eyes when she realized who was her partner.
"BUT HE'S AN IDIOT! AT LEAST GIVE ME FLABBY! SHE HAS A BRAIN AT LEAST!" She started to yell out loud in class, but I'm just trying to keep my head down because I'm so embarrassed.
"Would you please just shut up!" Some guy shouts, and the whole class stood quiet until the teacher fully explained the whole project, and how the class would decide who's the winner. Now, I'm just here sitting waiting for the teacher to call my name, and to see who I'm working with.
"Lucy Heartfilia, your partner is Gray Fullbuster" I look around to see an ink haired guy waving at me, so I guess that's him.
"Hey Lucy, I'm Gray" I shook his hand, and gave him smile.
"Hi, so what side are we on?"He smiled back at me before taking a deep breath.
"You really like to get down to business, don't cha! And to answer your question we have pro side." We sat down at our desk, and I started pulling out my notebook and pen
"Yes, I really do. Ok now we need to do is get our topic, and find out who we are debating against" As if on cue the teacher walks over, and hands me to the jar.
"Ladies get to decide" I pull a piece a paper that says, Should transgender people be allowed to go in the bathrooms that they identify as their gender? If so, what about the people that don't identify as any gender? "Since your team is pro, the answer to this question is yes, and you're going up against Angel and Toby." I stood still, and before I knew it Angel comes storming towards us dragging along Toby.
"Fullbuster! Trade with me! I want flabby!" I just sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Her name is Lucy, and she is staying with me. Why do you need her so badly? Afraid you are going to lose?" She looked shock, speechless, and couldn't even make a noise at the end. I smiled as I saw her walk away with Toby still being dragged by the wrist. I started laughing as so did Gray. "Shall we start on our project?"
"We shall" Then we spent the whole time working on our project together.
After school at the pep rally…..
Today was ok, I mean if you're fine with having to always dealing with stuck up girls that pick on everything you do. I see all my friends down there having a good time cheering on the team, and I'm happy for them. Now, I'm just sitting there in the cold bleachers alone with my small little popcorn. I'm looking down at the football players, and I see Gray. I didn't know he plays football, but I learn something new every day. I see him wave at me, and I waved back to him then he gestured me to go around to the field, and talk to him. I thought he was joking at first.
"LUCY! Get down here!" I nodded my head as I slowly walk down the bleachers to make my way down towards him. Then I see Angel and her friends coming towards me, and I smell trouble coming towards me.
"What do you think you're doing?" Asked me if like I had no idea what I was doing.
"I'm going to talk to my friend." I stated trying to have confidence in my voice in order to stand my ground with her and her friends.
"You and Fullbuster friends?" I nodded, and then they laughed at me. "Why the hell would Fullbuster want to be your friend, Flabby?"
"Because unlike some people, I make friends without trying use my looks every chance I get." I thought it was a smart comeback, but clearly it was a mistake. I could see the steam coming out from her. I try to get away quickly, but then she pushed me down the stairs of bleachers. Now everyone is laughing at me. I need to get away quick….
