79 %. A 79% was my final grade. I furrowed my brows as I slammed the paper on my desk. I can't believe after working so hard and practicing 1 hour every night I had just barely gotten a C on my math test.

I tried to calm myself down to be able to think over my computation mistakes. Easy, Lucy. Breathe in….. Breathe out… In… and out. Now don't start thinking I feel better all of a sudden just like in a fairy tale, cause I don't. Who does that teacher think she is ? Writing me a note saying I make lousy mistakes. Well, let me tell you that's it not really easy to concentrate when she's the one bothering me. SHE LITERALLY TEXTS HER HUSBAND DURING EXAMS ! AND DOESN'T EVEN BOTHER TO PUT HER PHONE ON SILENT MODE.

I lifted my head to look at the clock on the wall. It read 12:04 pm. The period would be over in exactly 2 minutes. Finalllllyyyyyy !

" Um….Ms. Heartfilia .. ? Are you alright ? "

I turned my head and realized that everyone in my class was looking at me. As in looking at me like if I was a freakin' alien. My teacher, Mrs. Livi, was looking at me with her hands on her hips, obviously annoyed that I still hadn't answered her yet. Oh… So she was the one talking to me.

" Yeah ? " I said forcing myself to stop from tearing her to pieces. What was her deal ? IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, SAY IT ALREADY WOMAN !

" Can you stay after class please ? "

" Sure. " I pressed so hard on the "r" that I accidentally bit my tongue. Even the densest person on earth could have obviously seen that that I was trying to tell her she was annoying me. Just at that moment, the bell rang.

" Alright, class. Today your homework is page 207 of your textbook. Show your work on a separate paper. Have a nice day ! " Mrs. Livi added.

Great. Just great !, I thought to myself, just when I was thinking of relaxing a little today, Mrs. Livi just has to come along and ruin my day. I mean, I have ZERO homework in all of my classes except this one ! It's always my math teacher that gives me the most homework ! Really ! I'm starting to think that this is student abuse. If this term actually existed, it would totally be what I would be complaining to the principal about. But I don't wanna look like an idiot, so here I am.

"Ms. Heartfilia? " I heard someone ask.

" Lucy! "

" Huh ? " I said as I turned my head, just to see Mrs. Livi's ugly ( and I mean REALLY ugly ) face. Where am I again ? Oh, right. I'm at school. In class. Awesome.

Mrs. Livi straightened her back and stood from her seat. Her dark green eyes were reflecting my image as she was staring daggers at me. As she walked over to my desk, she shook her head and walked towards the board instead. She took a marker and started to write on the board. " I will not.." What on earth is that lady writing "….. misbehave in class " I'm confused. " 1000 times ". Nope ! Still don't get why she's writing this !

" I want you to understand that slamming your paper on your desk while I was talking to the class really insulted me. As a punishment, you will write the sentence on the board 1000 times. Understood ?

" Wait! WAAIT ! NO ! NO ! NOOOOOO ! I've got things to do after school. I..umm… my sister has a competition today and.. uh… I promised I would be there to cheer her on and.. um… I''m hanging out with my friends and I have to study… "

" You will give it to me by tomorrow afternoon, thank you for your time. " She cut me as she turned her back at me. " You have the right to leave ".

I stood up, my hands curled into fists. I wasn't really the type of girl to talk back at teachers, but this old witch pulled the last straw.

" I'm sorry. But, Miss… I was mad because of the grade you gave me.. " I said as I rose from my seat. I was practically digging holes inside my brain to figure out what to say without insulting the old hag.

" I really don't think it was fair because I was being distracted by y…"

She suddenly spun around and glared at me so hard, that I was actually glad that looks couldn't kill. " You have no excuses. You got the grade you deserved and that's that ".

" But, Mrs. Liv… " I tried to retort.

" Talking back to your elders is disrespectful. You're dismissed, Lucy. "

Like my mom says, " You gotta pick your battles ". Understanding that arguing with that boneheaded corpse was not going to result in my favor, I decided to go along with it.

"…. "

I grabbed my books and walked towards the door. Once I had exited the classroom, I ran down the hallway, ignoring the yells of teachers telling me " No running in the hallways ". Out of breath, I stopped at my locker, quickly inserted the combination and literally threw my books in there. I slammed the door and ran to the cafeteria at the 2nd floor.

" Yo… Hold up ! " I heard someone say.

" That person probably wasn't talking to me ." I thought. I shrugged and opened the cafeteria doors.

" Hey.. Lu-chan … Waaaaiiit ! " Okay that was definitely for me. I turned around to see my best friend running after me, waving her arms back and forth like a psycho.

I stared at her without talking back.

" I'm great too, thanks for asking. " She added sarcastically once she had caught up to me, rolling her eyes.

" Sorry, I'm just pissed off okay ? " I almost shouted.

I saw her facial expression turn from sarcastic to confused.

" What's the matter, Lucy? " She responded, clearly confused. Her brows were furrowed together with a puzzled look on her face.

I was about to answer back, but she beat me to it.

" It's Mrs. Duckface, isn't it ? " It sounded more like a statement than a question. My BFF immediately looked relieved, all hints of worry and confusion erased from her facial features.

" You got that right, Lev … " My BFF Levy always knew me too well. Mrs. Duckface was Mrs. Livi's nickname. We invented it and it eventually spread to the whole school. Then, everybody started calling her that. When she couldn't hear us of course.

Levy sighed and shook her head, causing her beautiful blue locks to fly everywhere in a gorgeous fashion. She crossed her arms over chest and told me: " I'm listening ".

" Umm… Let's head inside first. I'm starving !" I whined and clutched my stomach in fake drama.

" Alright. " she said chuckling lightly, opening the door.

As we headed to our table, we both spotted a tall redhead with sparkly, brown eyes and a big bottle of coke in her hand. Next to her was a beautiful tall brunette with almond-shaped hazel eyes. Those people were none other than Erza and Cana .

" What took you guys so long ! " Erza practically screamed, pounding her fist on the table in anger. Levy and I sweat-dropped and started shivering in terror, afraid of how Erza would pour her anger out on us. She sat down and resumed drinking her Coke. After a few seconds, she started choking on her drink and was suddenly coughing like crazy. We all burst out laughing at that.

" Seriously, where were you two ? The cafeteria opened 10 minutes ago. " Cana asked me, after finally being able to stop laughing.

" We were right in front of the doors, talking. " Levy replied indifferently.

" Girl talk ? " a certain pink- haired teenager appeared out of nowhere. He then started to grin provokingly. " It's that time of the month, isn't it. HAHAHAHA- OWWW! Luce , that hurt. " He said as he started to rub the back of his head.

" It's inappropriate to ask these questions, Natsu. Plus, you deserved it. " I replied, putting both of my hands on my hips. I'm not gonna lie. I was pretty happy I had done that.

Natsu pouted and got up to get an ice pack. Cana, Levy, Erza and me high-fived as we started to giggle in unison.

" Let's get lunch. " Natsu suggested as he came back. We all nodded at that and stood up to get our food.
