Chapter 1 ~the new school~

                                    

                                          
always in lucy's pov unless said otherwise 😘
                          
i woke up to the sound of yelling. i automatically recognized who that was "LUCY GET YOUR ASS UP FOR SCHOOL!" i sighed. my dad always woke me up like this. 
                          
well i guess i better introduce myself. hi, i'm lucy heartfilia! no one knows this, but i have an abusive father. ever since my mom layla died, he blames me. he abuses me because of all that's happened. i know it's just a way of him coping, i just let him hurt me because i pray one day he will come back to the loving father i once knew. well enough about my home life, now for my school life. today is my first day at a new school called fairy tail academy. at my old school i would be bullied because of my past. i had no friends and even the teachers hated me. i hope this school will be a fresh start for me! well back to the present i suppose. 
                          
i sighed after hearing my dads words. well, back to my usual world. oh well.. maybe this school will be better. i slowly sat up in my bed. my bed was the smallest bed you'd ever seen. the comforter was thinner than the mattress itself, so i was uncomfortable and cold every night. but that's the least of my concerns in this house. i got up and went to my closet. i put my school uniform on. luckily it was long sleeved so no one could see my scars. i tugged on the white blouse and tied a ribbon up in my hair. might as well make a good impression! i sprinted downstairs and made my dad breakfast really quickly. i learned the hard way i gotta be fast in this house. today i wasn't fast enough though...
                          
"LUCY HEARTFILIA WHERE IS MY BREAKFAST?!" my dad roared. i flinched back "i'm so sorry father i am going as fast as i can, but i guess i ran out of tim-" 
                          
SLAP
                          
i froze in my tracks. i knew this would happen but still it was so abrupt even i couldn't suspect the time. "NEXT TIME THERE WILL BE MORE YOU SLUT. NOW GO TO SCHOOL I DONT WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE." my dad screamed at me, hate glowing in his eyes. i held my tears but those words hurt. i raced back upstairs to my room and snatched my bag. i sprinted out of the house, tears shimmering in my eyes the whole time. i held them back though, i have to make a good impression or i'll be stuck with nobody. 
                          
oh yeah, fun fact about me! i try to be an optimist about everything because i learned to be grateful for what i have. even if i have an abusive father, that doesn't mean i should be grateful for having a roof! (having an abusive family is nothing to be grateful for at all. this is just lucy's outlook not mine at all)
                          
i walked into the school. as i walked down the halls, i reluctantly searched the crowd for a familiar face. i didn't see anyone from last year, so i was excited. finally i got a fresh start! i turned to head down another hallway to my locker. in my excitement i didn't see where i was going, so i ran into someone. as we fell the person caught themselves. i, however, don't have fast instincts so i fell flat on my butt. i flushed in embarrassment and sped onto my feet. the image that greeted me, however, made my blood run cold. 
                          
it was lisanna strauss, my high school tormenter from last year.
