Jellal came home from his first day at his new school and quickly fell face first on the couch. He knew he should just get out of the living room before Siegrain or Mystogan could discover him. They were both already home from their separate private schools, having to go to separate private schools because they had some trouble getting along. Actually, all of the Fernandes triplets had trouble getting along: that's why Jellal had to go to a new school in the first place.

Jellal sighed into the couch cushion wondering what the heck his brothers were doing. The house was oddly quiet; it usually was loud until their parents came home to calm down the storm. Maybe Jellal had some luck today and he got home first.

Jellal was about to convince himself to get up, but then he felt something place its weight on his back.

"So, Jelly, how was your first day at school?" Siegrain asked his brother.

"Get off of my back," Jellal wheezed, wondering if his brother sitting on him was some new form of torture that Siegrain came up with in school today, since Jellal wasn't there to try and hold him back.

"Interesting day," Siegrain actually didn't care how Jellal's first day was. "But, the question is, are you still angry at me?"

"Yes," Jellal answered. "And you sitting on my back is not helping your situation."

"I thought you weren't talking to Siegrain," Mystogan entered the conversation, having sat down into the chair across from the couch in the living room.

"I kinda forgot that because he's sitting on my back!" Jellal answered.

"Well, how else am I supposed to get him to talk to me?" Siegrain asked.

"Siegrain, get off of Jellal," Mystogan commanded.

"You're not the boss of me," Siegrain objected.

"I'm in charge since I was born first," Mystogan reminded everyone.

"By minutes," Siegrain answered.

"Get the fuck off of me!" Jellal yelled.

"Will you talk to me afterwards?" Siegrain asked.

"Yes," Jellal promised.

"Good," Siegrain got off of Jellal and moved to the couch's armrest. Jellal sat up and breathed clearly as the weight was lifted.

"So, are you still mad at me?" Siegrain asked. Jellal didn't answer but just glared at Siegrain, who then objected, "You promised!"

"How was your first day at school Jellal?" Mystogan asked before Siegrain could saw anything else.

"Horrible," Jellal sighed.

"No one you know?" Siegrain asked.

"It's a new school, of course he isn't going to know anyone," Mystogan reminded Siegrain. However, that wasn't so. The fact that he did know someone was the source of his problems. Seeing that scarlet hair in the hallway early this morning sent Jellal into a panic, his crush on her still there after all these years, yet he knew that he couldn't have her because she doesn't deserve him.

"No," Mystogan said after studying Jellal in a few moments of silence. "You do know someone. Who?"

"Who do you think?" Jellal replied.

"That Erza girl! Isn't it? The one you still have a crush on even though you screwed her over a few years ago, right?" Siegrain quickly figured out.

"What, like how you screwed Jellal over?" Mystogan replied, delivering the come back that Jellal had on his mind.

Siegrain stuck his tongue out at Mystogan before turning back to Jellal, "You are such a loser. Still having a crush on Erza Scarlet after you got her kicked out of Tower of Heaven Private School in sixth grade. That was five years ago! Ha! I can't believe you still have a crush on her!"

Jellal buried his head into his hands. He really just wanted to crawl into his room and do the homework the teachers assigned him before crawling into bed and sleeping forever (or at least until his alarm clock went off).

"Siegrain, stop," Mystogan ordered Siegrain, being Jellal's mouth for the moment without even talking with Jellal. "You're not helping the situation."

"What, you think she's still going to like you? She probably doesn't because you got her kicked out. Actually, she might not even remember you since that was five years ago," Siegrain continued.

"I know," Jellal spoke to his brother. "Now fuck off."

"I'm offended," Siegrain scoffed.

"No, actually, fuck off," Mystogan agreed with Jellal. "Don't you have homework or something?"

"Yes," Siegrain agreed. "But I don't have to do it right now."

Jellal was getting sick of this shit. He abruptly stood up, grabbed his backpack, and began to climb the stair that led upstairs with the parting words, "Please don't talk to me. Ever again. Both of you."

"I was trying to defend you!" Mystogan protested as Jellal entered his room, locked the door, and flopped down on his bed.

He was royally screwed. He did not want to unleash the wrath of Erza Scarlet yet he still loved her after all these years.
