Disclaimer : Do you really believe that I own Fairy Tail? Seriously, I'm flattered if you think my stories are good, but I'm not even close to being as good as Hiro Mashima-san. Besides, would NaLu really be a semi-cannon couple if I were in charge? If you don't know, then I'mma answer for you. No.
A/N : Hey, minna! Me again. So this time, I'm working on something different. By something I mean JERZAAAA! Kawaii. And by 'different' I mean that this is a collab. Wow, that came out wrong, let me try again.
Ohaiyo, minna! So this is a collaboration with me and Chocolatesaregood (check her out on my favorite author's page!). and I really want to thank her because without her, I wouldn't have been able to make this. So moving on, this is a Jerza story. So… yeah… I'm going to stop rambling now. And, oh, just read the story already!
ERZA POV
My name is Erza. Erza Scarlet. I am the student council president here at Fairy High. I am 18 years old, so I am a senior. I don't like to talk about my past much. There it goes. The bell. RING! I just hope everyone's on time.
Our homeroom teacher caomes in. Her name is Mirajane Strauss. She's very nice, and a bit too optimistic. "Ohaiyo! Minna! Please take your seats everyone!" She greets.
Our class is as noisy as ever, and nobody greets her back. I stand up, took a deep breath, and yell, "Everybody quiet down!" and the whole class instantly falls quiet. Nobody dares to ignore my call.
Mira looks a bit shocked herself, but she quickly got over it and returned to her bright smile. "Arigatou, Erza-san. Anyway, class, we have a new student today! He transferred here from Paradise high! His name is Jellal. Jellal, please introduce yourself." She says. Jellal? Why does that name sound so familiar to me?
A boy comes into our class. He has blue hair and a mark.. or a scar on his face. I froze. I know him. Or do I? what's his last name? "I'm Jellal Fernandes. Nice to meet you all." He says. Fernandes? Hmm.. I definitely know him. Does he remember me? Jellal was my childhood friend, he was my best friend, before he moved away, that is.
"Eh? Did you say something?" I ask him, eyes wide.
"Did I just say that out loud?" He asks. I nod.
"You're such a weirdo, Jellal." I say, looking away from him,
"Erza?" He asks me, I turn to face him, but he just can't meet my gaze.
"Hmm?"
"I'm going to miss you." He says.
"What?" I ask in disbelief. "What do you mean? Are you going somewhere? Where are you going?" My face is clearly filled with worry, but I want to know so badly that I don't care.
"Away"
"Now?"
"No, but soon."
"Will we meet again?"
"I don't know."
I wonder if Jellal had changed in any way, or does he remember me? Or has he noticed that I've changed? "Alright then, take a seat next to Erza-san!" Mira says. I snap out of my trance, he's going to sit next to me? Oh boy, this is going well..
"Eh? So you're Erza?" He asks. I try not to look disappointed, so he doesn't remember me after all. But I must admit, he's gotten good looking,
"Yes, I am Erza, Erza Scarlet. Pleased to meet you." I introduce myself. And he shakes my hand, I smile. Maybe even if he doesn't remember me, we could be friends in the present, now. I mean, there's no way I could just say 'Hey Jellal, it's me, Erza!'. I mean, I really don't like the idea of me remembering him but him not remembering me. I suppose it's better this way..
"I'm Jellal." He says. "I wonder… your name sounds so familiar to me, Erza. You look very familiar, too." I smile a bit. Maybe bits and pieces of our time together he still remembers. It was 10 years ago, I don't blame him for not remembering me.
"Well, maybe we've met somewhere before." He doesn't answer that. He just looks forward and doesn't say a thing after that.
"Erza." A voice says. I look up, it's Jellal.
"Hmm?" I ask.
"You… have we met somewhere before?" he asks, and I blush, a bit. I don't answer that. I just shrug. "Sorry, it just feels like we have. Though I can't quite put my finger on it, well, sorry to bother you. Goodbye." I sigh. If only I could just come out and say it. Say that I really do know him. But for some reason, I can't.
"Hey Erza! Why was that new kid talkin' to you? He's such a weirdo!" Natsu says. "He's probably trouble! Rumor has it that he got kicked out of his last school!"
"Mm. I've heard that too." Lucy says.
"He isn't a weirdo and he isn't trouble. I believe that he's just misunderstood." I say.
"What do you know, hello Jellal." I greet.
"Huh? Oh, it's you." He says, his voice sounds… different. I don't know if it's filled with disappointment or relief. But why would he be relieved? At that same argument, why would he be disappointed? "You shouldn't be around me." He says. I froze. Did he not want to be with me? Or.. I can't think of any other good reason.
"Why?" I ask. "I'll choose who I want to hang out with, thank you very much." It was true. Besides, why didn't he want to hang out with me?
"Hey now.. " He says. "Do you seriously not know what people think of me?"
"Hmm? A good-looking guy with the bad boy look?" I suggest, then I realize what I just said, and blush. Really now, a good-looking guy with the bad boy look? I sound like a little girl, and it sounds as if I'm in love with him or something.
He chuckles. "You are the only one here who thinks that, thank you." He says. "But all joking aside-"
"I wasn't joking." I tell him. "I was serious." Did he really think I was joking? He really is good-looking though, but he looks like a bad boy. That was clearly not a joke. Hmph. He looks surprised. Strange. "Why do you look so surprised?" I ask.
"Huh? Oh it's nothing." He says. "But anyhow, unfortunately, they don't think it's a look, they think I'm bad to the bone, thanks to this mark and this face."
I almost said something stupid like, 'but you've had that mark since you were little' but I stopped myself at the last second, instead, I say "Indeed. That mark does stand out. And you've a perpetually angry look."
"Yes. So if you hung out with me, your reputation would-"
"Only fools judge a book by it's cover." I say. "I don't care about my reputation among such fools."
"But still.." He tries to protest, but I stop him.
"Come on now, I'll help you then. I'll show them that you aren't a delinquent."
"Why would you help me?" he asks. That question took me by surprise. I can't possibly tell him that he's my childhood friend.
"Why not?"
A/N : How did you like it? I'm sorry if it's short. I tried my best. Anyway, thanks to Chocolatesaregood again. And please review!
