Erza's POV
Another year, another school. I thought to myself. Congrats Erza, you just won your first and only year in Fairy Academy… Jellal, if only you were here, maybe I'll feel better. I couldn't help but frown from the memory from 13 years ago…
~FLASHBACK~
I was in my room doing my school homework when my personal maid, Aeya, came in and told me the news. "Erza, your father has to go somewhere. You and your mom will be accompanying him on his journey." She said it with sadness in her eyes. "Really?" When will be back?" I asked eagerly. "Never Erza." She said. I let that sink in. When Aeya left, I took my phone and dialled Jellal's number. "Jellal! My family and I are leaving soon… and I just found out…" I felt tears on my cheeks.
"Permanently. Yeah. My parents told me just a while ago." I could sense he was sad. "Just remember to call."
"Always. Promise me you won't forget me, Fernandes!" I said laughing.
"Your one to talk, Scarlet! Well, I promise. Hope to see you soon. I gotta go because my mom needs to use my phone to call my aunt. Bye."
"Alright. Bye!"
I was only seven when we left. Jellal was waving good-bye.
~END OF FLASHBACK~
I checked my schedule. "Class 4-a, huh." I couldn't help but get bored. I entered the school building and headed for my classroom. The teacher stopped lecturing her lesson and said: "Ok class, keep quiet now. We have a new student. Her name is Erza Scarlet. Be nice to her." I entered and sat at the seat the teacher assigned to me. People greeted me. A certain blonde sitting next to me said: "Hello Erza! My names Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia." She said. She had goldish blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes. "Hello Lucy. Do you mind showing me around the campus later?"
"Of course! Can we be friends from now on? I'll introduce you to my friends later on!"
"Sure. Why not?"
Lucy's POV
It was lunch time. I just finished giving Erza a tour around the campus. We sat at a table with some of my friends. I pointed to a guy with blue hair. "That's Jellal Fernandes. He's one of the popular kids. OMG! He's just sooooo cool!" I said. All he girls admired Jellal in one way or another. I looked at Erza. She looked like she saw a ghost. It was a great thing we were sitting down since she looked like she was ready to collapse. "Erza?" me and my friends looked at her worriedly. "I'm good. Its just that… I knew him before. We were best friends when we were younger." I looked at Erza. She knew him before!
Jellal's POV
Me and my friends sat down at our usual spot. "Did you hear? Class 4-A's got a new kid and they say she's really good-looking." My white haired best friend said. "Yep. I hear she has really long hair. And its red! I've never seen hair like that before!" a raven black haired boy, Lyon's twin, said. His name was Gray. No one can say they're brothers. Well, since they're unidentical twins. It took me a while to process what he was saying. Red hair? "Jellal, you look interested." My friend at my right told me. He had orange hair, and wore the school uniform like a male super model. "What's her name?" I asked. If her name was… "Erza Scarlet." Lyon finished my sentence without knowing it. She's here. She's really here. My best friend is here…"al. Jellal. Jellal!" I finally snapped out of it. "Why so deep in thought?" Loke asked. "It's because…" I told them about Erza's and my past. "Soooooooo, go up to her." Gray said. "It's not as easy as you think it is. There are three problems. Problem 1: I don't know where she's sited. Problem 2: I changed a lot, she might not remember me. Problem 3: I don't know if she still remembers me." I said sadly. "Oh. That's gonna be easy. She has red hair, you have blue. She's the newest student, you're popular. You'll recognize her since we know everyone who's anyone around here. (A/N: Loke isn't being mean. It's just that he mean he knows everyone.) And there's a bonus. Our class [4-B] and their class [4-A] is having music together. So you have a gigantic chance to see her." Loke said.
Erza's POV
"What's our next class, Lucy?" I asked.
"Music. We better get going so we can get good seats." The blonde replied.
"Alright. Race you?" I said.
"You are soooooo on." She said putting on her competition face.
"One, two, three, go!" We said together.
"We ended in a tie. No fair!" Lucy pouted. I laughed at her childishness.
"Let's grab our seats now. Nobody seems to be here yet." I said.
"OK. Wait, do you hear something? Are those-?"
"Footsteps? Yep. Look. Who are they?"
"Erza! They're perfect 4!"
"Fan of ours? I'm Gray."
"Lyon. Gray's older twin."
"I'm Loke."
"Jellal." I could sooooooooooo NOT believe this is happening.
"Erza Scarlet. This is Lucy Heartfilia." I pretended not to know him, which seems so cold now that I think of it.
"Ouch. Scarlet, I can't believe you forgot me already." He said in a fake hurt voice. I laughed.
"Of course I didn't! I never forgot you!" We hugged each other.
"Where have you been? It's been 13 years."
"Off traveling. We should better be going now. Your- err- fans are approaching." I said pointing to the group of girls running towards us screaming 'OMG its perfect 4' and 'They're here!' and also 'Who are those girls with them?!'
"You're right. C'mon. Let's go." They said in unison. We entered the room and sat. When I sat down, I couldn't help but cry a little. "Why are you crying?" I heard Jellal ask. "Because I can't believe you're right there." I replied. "It's alright. Wipe your tears away."
