the good bad and the ugly

A dream for hope

*lucys POV*

it was my first day at primary school lucky my mother works there so I basically got a free ride to school... the day started off as usual I got up early got dressed an headed downstairs for breakfast. "hey mommy, hey daddy what's for breakfast today?" my father laughed and then smiled "well we have spinach" he said laughing as I hit his arm softly "daddy that's not funny! I'm serious what's for breakfast?" he smiled as my mother poked her head around the corner "good morning honey we are having pancakes for breakfast" I turned to my dad with a glare "that was mean daddy!" he smiled and lifted me onto his knee "sweetie I have something I need to tell you... I'm going to be out of town for a while do you think you can be a brave girl and help your mother while I'm goan?" I start to giggle as he tickles me "I will try my hardest I promise but you have to promise me something..." he smiled "anything what did you want I can bring you a pretty bracelet while I'm goan?" I just smile at him "no just a doll will do... but promise me you will be back for graduation?" I asked this as my father often leaves for long periods of time the last time he had left for 8 months I had cried the whole time "sure anything for you my princess."

I had just gotten changed out of my swim suit as I had just had swim class with miss aquarius and I was talking to a girl named Juvia she had called her parents and was allowed to stay the night at my place after all I didn't have many friends so my mother was fine with it. I am now on my way to the art room to wait for my mother after waiting for about five mins I started to have a panic attack as I usually do when I'm alone so I did what  my mom and dad said to do so I went to the bunny cage and carefully sat down next to the cage with a small bunny and started patting it softly letting it calm me down a bit but this time I felt worse so I just kept softly patting it when I heard the door open I look over at the door seeing a boy with long black spikey hair " hey bunny girl you on detention to?" that nickname made me smile a bit but he didn't seem to notice we made small chit chat and got to know each other a bit better "alright gajeel I see you have met lucy I want you to work on this work sheet for the next hour" after about 45 mins I notice that gajeel is having some trouble with a math question "can I help him with the last question he seems to be having trouble with it." after explaining the question and how to figure it out he then thanked me as he was about to leave I asked my mother if he could come over so I can help him study he was more than willing to do so after school I got a text from juvia saying she had her things ready for the sleep over so I told her to wait at the park for us so that my mother could pick her up on the way home as we lived a couple blocks away from there after we got there juvia got in the back with me and gajeel "heh so your the girl bunny girl was talking about I just wish I could have seen their faces when you left them in the dust!" juvia laughed at the comment he made "yeah... I guess it was kinda funny but you should have seen lucy she was like a mermaid just swimming so gracefully in the water but yet so fast it was incredible to say the least!" juvia said with a smile "I guess you guys know each other?" they nodded "yeah we go way back and we are neighbours too!" we made mindless chit chat the whole ride back to my place " ok kids why don't you head up to the study room and do some homework I need to make a few phone calls then I will call you down for dinner I hope you don't mind mac and cheese its my special recipe" we all smile and nod in approval and head up stairs to the study room -who knew that having to complete strangers that have nothing to do with each other would make such an impact on my life but the friendship would be put to the ultimate test in only 3 weeks-
