Chapter 2: The Princess, the Teacher and the Titania

Lucy's POV

Running my hands over my collar bones and up my neck, I held my hands to the side of my face and studied myself in the mirror.

Now I could see it.

I saw everything they saw.

I could understand now why they told me such things. Such truthful, but hurtful things.

It was a travesty.

My eyes were watery and tears were threatening to spill over. I blinked rapidly, as if trying to clear them away with the frequent movements.

But it did no use.

Now I was crying and crying and crying. Balling my eyes out on the bathroom floor, wishing I had never known the truth. Wishing everything would change, be perfect, like it used to be.

Wishing they would all just leave me alone so I could have just a little snippet of peace.

I wanted it to all just go away.

Jellal's POV

Dear Ultear,

I hope you and Meredy-chan are doing ok. I know she's only been with you for a short time but I know that you'll do a wonderful job in raising her. You were so kind to take her in from that orphanage.

Make sure to fill me in on all the details when you write back ok?

Oh and by the way...

Do you remember that teaching job at the University of Magnolia that you told me to apply for? Well I've been accepted.

Jellal Fernandes is now a professional teacher at a prestigious university and it's all thanks to you.

As I write this, I have already taught a number of different classes. I've only been here two weeks yet everyone if so accommodating and welcoming. It's lovely!

There is this one class in particular that I really love.

A junior class that I have for English Advanced.

There are a lot of interesting people. A lot of them seem to have outrageous hair colours, not that I'm one to talk. They're all really unique as well. A great bunch of kids.

There's one boy who's got pink spiky hair. He's a good kid but he's really loud and quite troublesome, although he means well.

Another has orange hair and always wears this pair of blue tinted sunglasses even if it's dark and stormy. He's a total flirt and all the girls in the class fawn over him and get distracted when I'm trying to teach. I guess he's just a naturally charismatic kind of guy.

One of your brothers, Gray is also in this class. But you can relax, he doesn't cause too much trouble and he's doing well so far. I know how much you worry about him.

Then there were these four girls. I met them right before my very first class. They got there early and were waiting for the bell to go when I came in. There were two girls with blue hair, one with blonde hair and another with scarlet hair. Oh and get this, the red head's name is actually Erza Scarlet. What a coincidence, ne?

Anyways, I won't ramble on about school too much, I know you don't like to reminisce about that sort of thing.

I hope to hear back from you soon Ultear and feel free to come down and visit any time you like. There's always room for you and Meredy-chan in my new house. I'm sure Lyon and Gray would love to see you some time as well.

Have a lovely day!

Yours sincerely,

Jellal.

I finished up writing the letter and folded it up so it would fit in the envelope.

I know most people don't write letters anymore but what can I say, I'm just a little old fashioned.

I looked around at my class full of students.

They all seemed to be preoccupied with their assigned work for now and it hadn't seemed to have bothered them that I'd taken a little time out to right a letter.

But taking a closer look I could see there were a few things amiss. Particularly with the large group up the back of the room.

I could recognise a few familiar faces amongst them. There was that blonde girl Lucy and her two blue haired friends, Levy and Juvia, along with the scarlet haired girl named Erza.

There was also Ultear's brother, Gray, amongst them, sitting next to the loud pink haired guy, Natsu.

There were also two large muscular men with them. One with blonde hair and the other with long black spiky hair. I scanned the role, searching for the pictures of them that were placed next to the name.

The blonde was Laxus Dreyar and the other was Gajeel Redfox.

Then there was a girl with neck length white hair. For a second I could have sworn it was my good friend Mirajane, but looking closely, I saw that she was a few years younger. And besides, Mira had graduated last year. So she had to be the younger sister Mira always went on about. Lisanna.

And she was sitting next to a girl with chocolate brown hair reaching almost to her waist. Her eyes, oddly enough, were purple. I remembered her from way back when she was just a child and my friend Gildarts had bought her over to my house one day. Her name was Cana Alberona.

And the last one, seated behind Lucy and Levy was the boy with orange hair and blue tinted sunglasses, otherwise known as Loke.

They seemed to be a bright bunch of kids but this lesson they weren't quite at their best.

Lisanna was giggling softly and staring down at her lap, glancing occasionally at the pink haired boy who sat behind her.

And in return Natsu smirked at her before giving her a little wink and looking back down at his lap. Making it even more obvious that they were texting each other.

Laxus had one earphone in and was leaning back in his chair. He seemed relaxed and uninterested in the class work that I had assigned them today.

Cana had her legs in Laxus's lap and was sharing the other earphone while bopping her head in time to a beat I couldn't hear.

Lucy and Levy were sitting really close, whispering each other's ears excitedly, whilst Loke was trying to listen in to their conversation with no luck what so ever.

Juvia was making googly eyes at Gray, whilst the dark haired boy stared off into space obliviously.

And Erza was leaning back on the chair with her feet on the desk and her arms folded under her chest. It was just like the way she was sitting when I first met her. She looked bored and a little angry. I doubt she really wanted to be attending this class. She was after all, an extremely smart and talented girl who always achieved an A in every subject.

Although her basics test wasn't quite on the same level.

I was about to call out to her and ask her to take her feet off the table when my eyes caught sight of something black.

At first I thought it was just shadows, but as I squinted and concentrated on it, I realised it was a piece of lacy fabric.

I looked up a little and realised that even though Erza had crossed her legs over before putting her feet up on the desk, that little bit of lacy black fabric was peeping out from under her navy coloured skirt.

My entire face flushed bright red and I could practically feel my ears burning in embarrassment for her.

The way she was sitting, if someone in front of her turned around they would see the fabric of her panties.

I didn't know what to do. My face felt hot and suddenly I felt as though I needed to turn the air conditioner on. My lips trembled slightly and I could feel my pants growing a little tighter.

Realising what was happening; I mentally slapped myself and focused back on my job.

I had to hand out all the tests I'd made the students take so I could see where they were at with English.

I walked around the room, giving out the bundle of sheets that contained the corrected test.

Not long after, the bell went and I was sitting at my desk, leaning on my elbows as all the students began to clear out.

I was just about to pack up my stuff and leave when I realised there was still one student in the room.

The scarlet hair identified her as Erza.

She was standing at her desk, her eyes transfixed on the sheets of paper in her hands. She shuffled through them one last time before sighing in defeat.

I watched her carefully, wondering exactly why she seemed so upset over the test.

But then her lips twisted into a scowl and she turned to face me.

The expression on her face was one of rage and anger, as well as hurt.

She took a shaky step towards me, then another, and another. And before long she was running towards me, her hair flying out as she raced down the aisle in between the 10 rows of desks.

I had to try and remain cool, pretend I didn't notice how mad she was. I would be nice and friendly and try to help her in any way that I could.

But hell...

She was furious.

Erza's POV

"What the hell Fernandes!" I screamed, making my way to the front of the class room.

Everyone had already left, leaving him and I alone in the huge empty room.

I was stalking towards him with nothing but fury pulsing through my veins.

He looked up at me puzzled, "Oh, Miss Erza Scarlet. What can I do for you?" he asked politely, an oblivious smile plastered on his handsome face.

I growled at him menacingly but he only let out a little chuckle which pissed me off even more. Did he think it was funny to see me so worked up like this?

I slammed the paper down on his desk and snarled, "Tell me what the fuck is this?!"

He wrinkled his nose as I swore but picked up the paper answered politely after he inspected it anyway, "That, Miss Scarlet, is a B."

"That's exactly my point! You must have gotten it mixed up with someone else's," I stated, "Erza Scarlet doesn't get B's."

"Are you seriously getting all worked up over a B grade? Serious, a B is a good thing, Erza! You should be happy!" the blue haired teacher didn't seem to understand at all.

"Listen, Jellal," I injected as much poison into that name as I possibly could, "I have never gotten a fucking B in my entire fucking life. I always get straight A's and I insist that you change it!"

"Erza..." He stepped forward and placed his strong hands on either one of my shoulders, "It's not very lady like to swear so profusely. You're not as pretty when you're angry. Trying smiling every once and a while, ok?"

I felt my cheeks heat up and I had no doubt that my face was just as red as my hair. Jellal is smiling at me in that same way he did when we first met 2 weeks ago.

His hands were touching my shoulders once again and I think... Maybe... He just called me pretty?

"B-but..." Was all I could stutter out as he continued to stare deeply into my eyes, still smiling.

"Oh and getting a B is something you'll have to used to in this class. It takes a lot of work for me to give out a mark above a B. Your work's going to have to improve if you really want those A's."

I nodded slowly, slightly dazed by our situation.

I went to turn away and leave but Jellal grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him.

I felt my eyes go wide in surprise but I couldn't speak. He cupped my chin and leaned forward whilst those deep brown eyes locked onto mine.

Then he smiled kindly just as our noses were about to touch, "I know you can do it Erza. You're a bright girl and so are your friends. You all just need a bit of encouragement. Tell you what, if you really want to get up to an A, why don't you take some private tutor lessons with me? I'm sure I can be of great help."

I narrowed my eye brows and rolled my eyes, despite the fact that my face was flushed bright red from embarrassment. My hand had found its way to my hip as I cocked it to the side, trying to look as uncaring and cool as possible.

I was just about to refuse his offer but suddenly a tangle of words burst forward from my mouth without permission, "Sure, I'd love to."

Why the hell had I said that?! What's wrong with me?!

"Lovely," He replied, running a hand through his silky blue locks, "I'll see you this Saturday at 11 for our first session."

And with that he ushered me out of the class room.

English was officially over and now, I, Erza Scarlet, the smartest girl in school, was being tutored by now other than Jellal Fernandes.
