Chapter One – Opening Ceremony

Opening Ceremony~

"Jellal Fernandez from the first year, advanced class," the headmaster called. A blue-haired guy with a tattoo around his right eye emerged from the back stage and walked towards the podium.

The atmosphere of boredom and silence was immediately replaced by excitement and whispers from the crowd. A lot of them can't help themselves glancing at the scarlet-haired girl who is standing straight, not minding the whispers and glances that she was getting.

"I was expecting that Erza-san would be delivering the opening speech…"

"Me too. I heard that Jellal Fernandes had a higher score than her in the admission test, so he ended up doing it."

"Really? What a disappointment."

"But somehow I feel a bit sorry for her..."

Gossips continued to fuel the noise and excitement from the crowd. Whether it's about him, or her or something else that the people were talking about, Erza didn't care. What mattered to her at that moment, was the blue-haired guy on stage.

"Is that really him? Is he the same Jellal I knew as a child?" Erza thought.

"Good morning. As we embark in a new adventure…" Jellal started off. To the people around her, it seems that Erza was listening because of the perfect posture that she manages to pull off, wherein, actually her mind is having a voyage in her memories.

"That's him. It has to be. His voice sounded deeper from what I used to remember, but it still bears that enchanting feature, that can make dreamy things seem true…" Erza thought.

FLASHBACK~

"Erza-chan, do you believe in things such as fate and love?" Jellal asked out of the blue.

"W…Why a… are asking such things Jellal?" Erza replied trying to hide the nervousness in her voice and the blush on her face.

"Nothing, I just want to hear what you think about it. People laugh at me when I tell them that once I met the person I'll really love, I'll treat her as a princess and I'll be like a prince that will love and protect her. Even if I have to defeat a dragon, I'll do it just for her!" Jellal proclaimed passionately.

Erza tried to stop herself from laughing but failed to do it.

"What?! Are you also going to laugh at me Erza?!"

"No, it's not what I meant," Erza replied, wiping the tears of laughter that she had on her eyes. "It's just that I never expected you to have such ideas in mind."

"So what do you think about it?" Jellal asked again with a pout in his face.

"The person that you will love will really feel treasured. To be cared like a princess and loved by someone like a prince, she's really a lucky person."

END OF FLASHBACK~

Erza thought of several strategies on how she's going to talk to Jellal. She didn't want people to misunderstand the thing between Jellal and her. After all she's approaching him to resolve a misunderstanding they had before, not to create a new one.

"Erza. Erza." Mirajane called, shaking the shoulder of the girl in front of her.

"Huh?" Erza reacted as if she was interrupted from a day-dream.

"The Opening Ceremony is over. It's time to go to our classrooms." Mirajane explained.

"Ahhh…Shall we go then?"

As Erza and Mirajane made their way to the classroom, Erza was secretly looking in which classroom Jellal is in so that she'll know what strategy to use. Unfortunately, Erza was not able to see the blue-haired guy anywhere.

"We're here." Mirajane said. Erza was looking down so she didn't notice the sign above the door.

Mirajane opened the sliding door. The noise was able to catch Erza's attention, enough for her to look up, and there she saw what she was looking for, a blue-haired guy seating at second row nearest the window.

"How could have I forgotten?! He is in the advanced class and so am I, which means that we are in the same class."
