Amputee Club

Lucy - 1

 August 6, 2015

"I'm sorry, who are you again?"

I was just sitting there in class when he unexpectedly greeted me with a determined grin on his face. I had only met him the day before and if I recall, he was actually quite handsome (not like I'd never tell him that; he looks kinda like an idiot and I don't want to boost his ego).

He had wild spiky pink hair and eyes that shone a bright fiery green. His uniform shirt was slightly wrinkled, the tie was sloppy and the sleeves were pulled up to some point above his elbows. His right prosthetic arm was covered in hand painted flames of red, orange and yellow with even a few bits of white thrown it. The paint itself also needed to be redone, given that it was starting to chip off and was now covered in white bandages. From what I also remember, his left leg would also be a prosthetic.

Which means, he was exactly like me. And here he was, standing right in front of my desk.

"My name is Natsu Dragneel. You're Luigi, right?" he smiles and I got annoyed.

"It's Lucy!" I shout and he apologizes, slamming a poster on the table for me to look at.

"I want you to join my club!" he shouted this with pride, it seemed and I picked up the paper.

It seemed like a normal flyer for a club, given that it looked like a unicorn threw up on it from all the glitter glue and crayon marks. And in big, bold red letters was the name of this supposed club. And I read it and I asked the kinda cute pinkette grinning at me:

"Quick question though... What the hell is an Amputee Club?"

________________________________________________________________________________

I grew up in a big house in the countryside with only my parents, my brothers and my one sister. However, my mother died when I was very young so, I don't have many memories of her. The memories that I do hold of her are usually of when she told me stories to help me when I felt lonely. When she died, my father ignored me and since we lived in the pretty secluded house, there weren't many children my age to play with. I wasn't completely alone though.

Before I was born, my mother would get sick a lot so, she never thought she could have a child. So, she then adopted three children to live with her and I happened to be the miracle baby. Growing up, I had two big brothers and an older sister to call my family.

The eldest of my brothers was called Capricorn or as I like to call him, Goat. He was always mature for his age and wore sunglasses everywhere he went for no reason. Mom trained him in martial arts and he won several tournaments for it so, needless to say, he was pretty overprotective of me when she died. One of his largest pet peeves was when his white hair would always grow out too fast, blending in with his extremely pale skin. By the time he turned twelve, he'd have a mullet in less than three days! Although, he doesn't usually mind about his goatee, just as long as he shaves everyday.

My older elder brother was called Cancer, the fabulous crabman! If Capricorn was the mature one, Cancer was definitely the one most connected to his feminine side. Mom found him kinda interesting when she first adopted him, since he enjoying looking at all the fashion magazines instead of the monster trucks on television. So, she taught him everything she knew on makeup and hair and clothes and everything, to make up for not being able to teach me when I became older. He himself is a pretty gorgeous guy, tan skin, bright red hair in dreadlocks and sunglasses gleaming green in the lenses whenever he had a fashion breakthrough.

And finally, there is my sister, Aquarius, a real life mermaid. Capricorn and Cancer always described Aquarius as a rebel in her youth, being such a tomboy and getting into fights at school because of it. She was short, had royal blue hair and dark blue eyes, which people saw as pretty strange. She was extremely frustrated with some personal issues and no one knew how to handle her situation. So, one day, Mom took her to a pool and fell in love with swimming. She was then known as the mermaid of her swim teams for being so fast in the water and from winning so many championships for her school. Nowadays, she's the assistant coach for the gym class and coach for the school's swim team. She also has a boyfriend named Scorpio, one of the school's Earth Science teachers with a love for things that involve sand.
