-After the briefing-

Although walking back from school was a little harder than expected, I managed to pull through the long journey - which was actually just a 15-minute walk back home.

As soon as I reached the mansionette apartment, I opened the door quickly and scampered up the stairs.

"I'm home!"

My father then walks out of the computer room, greeting me before going back in for a conference call.

But before he went back, he noticed my bandaged ankle and flinched on the spot

"Lucy! What happened to your feet?"

"Just a little sprain. It's alright!"

"Seriously, you are just like your mother when I met her in high school."

I smiled at him and entered my room. Closing the door behind me, I stared at my table, more specifically, staring at a picture on my table.

In the picture, my mother was carrying a three-year-old me, with my two fraternal twin brothers standing side by side. My father was standing beside my mother and I had somehow looked cheerful in a pink dress. My brothers were all three years older than me and they had worn the same blue shirt and the same pair of jeans. My mother wore a long-sleeved shirt and a long brown skirt. My father wore a nice suit, despite the informal atmosphere.

I picked the picture up and stared at it. Wiping its frame with my index finger, I smiled at the picture.

"Did mom really leave the family?" I mumbled to myself.

Sighing, I placed the picture back on the table and scampered downstairs, where there was a piano sitting elegantly on the ground beside the television. I pressed a note, which then led to a melody of a song.

It was the lullaby that my mother used to sing to me. It was funny how I was able to remember something that I did not want to remember. But I still played. After all, she was my mother and I was her daughter.

Sting and Rogue at that moment stepped into the house. They observed my movement as I played the piano with one hand.

Before the lullaby had ended, Sting cleared his throat, which caught my attention. I stopped abruptly and stared at him blankly.

"You know, if you are going to stay in those clothes, you are going to catch a fever."

I looked at my shirt, which was covered with the smell of my sweat.

"And if you are going to dilly dally, I'm going to take the toilet first."

That was when I realised what I had to do that very moment. Immediately, I raced up the stairs, with the twins on my heels and grabbed my towel.

In a swift action, I stepped on both the twin's toes and took off to the toilet.

"LUCY THAT HURT!" The two yelled in unison. I threw my towel onto the toilet seat and stuck my head out of the toilet. I smiled at them and stuck my tongue out.

"Victory for Lucy!" I cackled loudly before slamming the toilet door.

-After shower and everything else including dinner-

I sat at my desk, reading through my Math notes, followed by my science notes since I had both Math and Science tests tomorrow. The syllabus was oddly different from my previous school, so I had to revisit some of the chapters.

Yawning, I stretched my arms as I laid back on the chair. I stared up and thought about what Natsu would write on his paper.

Now that I think about it, I heard that Natsu is actually smart. He was normally the top in the grade for his mid-year tests and end of year tests. Not only that, many girls actually thought he was cool because he was athletic and good looking. Well, not that I really care. But he is an interesting guy and that is what sparked my curiosity.
