A/N: you know when you get an idea and you just have to get it out there? That was me with this story. And I just finished The Power of One too...
Anyway, I hope you like it, leave a review, tell me what you think!
If one was to ever look inside the gates of Fairy Tail High school, they'd see a pristine building with clean cut laws, trees, and many young men and women walking around. They'd see boys mingling with girls, teens playing, and groups sitting in the shade, enjoying the afternoon.
They'd also see a group of four extraordinary young adults, standing out from the rest. Two handsome young men and two beautiful, youthful looking women.
One of the boys, the one with shaggy black hair, deep blue eyes, and his shirt untucked and partially unbuttoned, could be seen hand in hand with the tall redhead girl with dark brown eyes. The other young man, with odd pink hair, a white scarf, and slanty onyx eyes, would be arm in arm with the shorter blond girl, with large brown eyes.
These were the four most popular teenagers in Fairy Tail. Team Natsu.
Their story started out like any other, the beginning term of senior year. However, a new occurrence in their usually normal lives would change everything.
Erza's POV
I sighed and stretched out on the school lawn, sitting next to my best friend, Lucy. Her long blond hair fluttered in the wind, and she closed her brown eyes, bathing in the sunlight.
"It's a gorgeous day out, isn't it, Erza?" Lucy said, sighing happily. I nodded. "Yes, it is."
I looked out at my surroundings. It was the lunch period, about a month into school. Everyone was outside, enjoying the last few days of summer before the season changed.
I looked around at the other kids, milling around. Some were staring and whispering, and I let them. I knew it all. Lucy and I had the biggest reputation in the school, dating the most athletic guys in the school, while being captains of our own sports teams. Lucy and I were on the girls track team, and Gray and Natsu were the captains of the soccer team.
My eyes slid over to Natsu and Gray, who were off to the side, dribbling and passing a soccer ball to and fro. My eyes fastened themselves onto Gray's form, noting the way his white shirt clung to him in all the right places, and every time he moved, the shirt would ride up, exposing the hard planes of his abs.
Natsu stole the ball out from underneath Gray's feet. The pink haired teenager grinned and cackled dramatically.
I sighed. My eyes slid over to Lucy, who had reclined on her back, basking in the warm sun.
Still can't believe she can date that annoying monster, I thought to myself. Natsu was always a wild one, getting into fights with the opposing team, other kids in the hall, and of course, Gray himself. The two had been rivals since they were kids, neither one able to best the other.
I looked back at my boyfriend. Boyfriend, I thought, eyeing Gray's toned body once more. It was still hard to believe. We had been friends for such a long time. It was still hard to believe we were dating. The guy had just about every single girl- and guy- for that matter, after him.
I don't blame them, I thought. Gray is quite hot.
Suddenly, a shadow fell across me, and I looked up. It was Cana, a dark haired young woman who was fond of her liquor, even though she wasn't old enough. Age didn't deter Cana though. I guess that's where the word "illegal" comes into play.
"Erza, your boyfriend and Natsu are fighting again." She said, a merry- and soon to be drunken- look in her eyes. I looked over. What had once been a friendly little mini-game of soccer had turned into an all-out brawl, Natsu and Gray slamming into eachother and shouting.
Lucy opened her eyes and sat up, disturbed by the noise. She squinted, then sighed in exasperation. "You have got to be kidding me," she mumbled, giving me a sideways look. I sighed and got to my feet, brushing off my skirt and my black thigh highs. Unfortunately, it was school uniform, along with the annoying black jackets we were forced to wear.
Lucy and Cana looked at me. "Try not to kill them, Erza. We have a game next week," Lucy said, informing me of the soccer season kick off game, versus Sabertooth, our rival school. I chuckled. "Who, me? Why would you ever think that?" I said sarcastically, turning and heading over to the two writhing boys, a small crowd surrounding them.
"Move," I ordered sharply, pushing a few sophomores out of my way. They quickly made way for me, after all, who dares defy the student council president? Yes, that would happen to be moi.
I walked right in between the two boys, just as they were about to launch themselves at the other. Their yells cut off abruptly and they froze.
I looked at each one of them sternly. "Now boys," I cooed, in a low snarl. "We don't fight at school. I don't want to get in this fight, but if you keep on going…"
"Oh, god, um, Erza….hey, how's it going?" Gray said, scratching his head sheepishly. I glared at him. My boyfriend could be incredibly stupid at times.
Then I glared at Natsu, who had turned away. Speaking of stupid, I thought. "Natsu…" I said threateningly. He frozed, then turned. Around us, the small crowd of onlookers watched with bated breath.
"G-gomenasai," he muttered. I glared at him. "You better be," I growled.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Lucy stomped up to Natsu and slammed a book on his forehead.
"God damnit!" Natsu exclaimed, turning and facing his girlfriend, who looked up into his face with a steely gaze. "Baka!" She hissed. Natsu gulped.
Gray reached out and took my hand. "I think Lucy's got this under control," he said. "How about you and I go catch some grub?" His eyes peered into mine with a pleading smile upon his handsome face.
I looked at his hand, clenched firmly in my own. Then I looked back into his face, and nodded. "Yes please. And for that fight, you owe me a slice of cake."
Gray chuckled, and brushed a strand of scarlet hair out of my eyes. I blushed.
"One slice of strawberry cake, coming right up. Let's go, Class President Erza Scarlet," he said, putting a dramatic tone in his voice.
I snorted, and began to follow him towards the cafeteria, leaving Natsu in Lucy's more than capable hands.
I looked back down at Gray's hand in mine. It was weird, I thought, staring at him. Even though we're datjng, and even though I do like him, why do I feel so strange? My heart felt like it was being pulled, pulled in a distant direction. Like it was being drawn to someone.
Someone who I had yet to meet.
