JErza-Mordern AU

Erza's POV-

I walked into the gymnasium with my books and a frown. As I turned the corner into the girl's locker rooms I heard mad giggling. Near the back of the room were 3 other girls that were on Fairytail Academy's volleyball team. I remembered one of them, Brooklyn Shmutz, from her annoying voice that rings in your ears.

As soon as her squad saw me they tapped Brooklyn on the shoulders and started whispering. She stopped her laughingto look straight at me, and smirked.

I immediately knew it was for my clothes. Function rather than fashion I always say. I was wearing bleached, ripped shorts with a baggy yellow and blue stripped tank-top. I personally didn't think it looked bad, it just wasn't fashionable.

The other girls were wearing long sleeved rainbow crop-tops with low shoulders and modern day slang written all over them, along with black short-shorts. It looked hot and uncomfortable, but it's their body.

I stared right back at Brooklyn. I pulled on the top of my shirt saying "Oh, you don't like it? Sorry, but I don't need fashion advice from skanks." Brooklyn and the other girls glared at me as I walked off towards my locker.

That took up way too much of my time. I put my code into my lock and it clicked open in a few seconds. Organizing my locker as I went, I pulled out some latex blue short shorts and a FA t-shirt. I quickly pulled off my top and shorts and folded them neatly, shoving them in my locker.

As soon as I closed and locked the locker I heard other girls coming into the locker rooms. I pulled my hair into a high ponytail, accidentally leaving a strand in the front out, and tying it back. Sliding into my shorts I heard annoying giggling that I dismissed as stupid girls and pulled on my t-shirt.

After I slipped back into my shoes I quickly ran through the door and back into the gymnasium only to find a dude in there instead of Coach Hilda. "Who're you?" I scoffed.

"I, Miss…Scarlet? Am . Your new volleyball coach and History teacher." Fernandez? Okay then. "How'd you know my name, ." I annunciated. "I guessed. By your hair." He smirked as he marked something on his clipboard.

"-phft- How old even are you? You look young enough to be a high schooler." This guy is gonna annoy me. "I should probably take that as a compliment, but I'm guessing you meant in the way of lacking experience." Wow, smart guy. "I'm 21, turning 22 next Wednesday."

Before I could talk to him anymore some other girls from the volleyball team walked into the gym. "Wow, who's hot stuff?" Brooklyn giggled annoyingly yet again. "I'm going to have to ask you to refrain from calling me 'hot stuff', and refer to me as Coach or .

I quickly tried to cover up my snort with a cough as I looked over to Coach Fernandez. He side looked me and smirked causing me to snort-cough again.

"Whatever " she coaxed sensually. The nerve of some sluts. After all the girls got into the gym took role-call. "Okay ladies, do your stretches, take 5 laps, then we'll start drills." I was the first to finish and I stood near the net as I waited.

"So , what's your first name?" I was pretty blunt when it came to socializing. I didn't expect him to tell me but then he said "Jellal, it's Jellal.", "How odd." I said it in my head a few times to get the feeling, although I'd probably never call him that. "So is yours, 'Erza'. And by the way, why's your last name 'Scarlet' instead of your dad's last name?"

I thought about it for a second, deciding wether he was trustworthy or not. Couldn't hurt. "A kid. When I was younger, a kid who I can't remember, told me my hair was beautiful. Since I didn't know my last name he decided to call me Erza Scarlet so if he ever saw my hair he would immediately know my name."

"We were in an orphanage where we were abused and had to forge. It's was the 20th century so I didn't know why we had to forge. But I learned sword skills. Before I met that boy I was very shy and such a scaredy cat. One day we almost escaped during the night but he took the blame when we were caught."

finally spoke "Intense." That's it, really? "They took him and beat him for days. I finally couldn't hold in the fact that he was hurting. Lots of the children stormed the dean's house near the orphanage where he was. I took advantage of that and tried to get him out."

Tears were streaming down my face but Jellal kept listening. "He had a concussion and when he woke up he couldn't remember anything. I tried to console him and get him to remember but he wanted nothing to do with me and thought I was crazy. A-and before I could get him to leave with me some of the older kids took me away and we escaped."

"I-I never saw him again. A-and I don't e-even know if he's alive." I slid to the ground and brought my knees up to my chest sobbing histerically. It's the first time I've cried since I escaped that orphanage. I felt a warm hand on my back. Jellal rubbed my back and said "If you ever want to, I can help you find out about him. See what happened to him."

I looked up and my red eyes widened. "R-really?" I sniffled. Before I could answer the girl in second place came running to the finish line. "Hah, so Titania actually has feelings. Did Coach reject you slut?"

Jellal's POV-

Before I could defend her she wiped her face and slightly chuckled. "Of course that's why. I guess I didn't have a chance. Why don't you give it a go?" She pushed herself off the floor and walked towards the locker-room. "Good luck." She giggled as the waved behind her.

You intrigue me Miss Scarlet. I was still kneeling on the ground and before I could get up bony arms wrapped around me. "So Jellal. How 'bout we get turnt up at your place tonight? It'll be hot." She breathed in my ear as I shivered. I quickly stood up. "Do not ever ask me that again. And do two more laps." I said with a glare as she got up off the floor.

"Fine, play that way." She stepped forward onto her tip-toes and whispered "I know it's 'cuz you're a teacher, but meet me by the parking lot if it's just an act." I shivered again and pointed to the track. "Laps now. Or it's double."

As she started Erza came out of the locker room looking freshened up. She stood next to the rest of the girls and smiled at me. I smiled too. "Okay ladies, let's start our drills then maybe fit in a game!"
