Chapter 2: Deal made between "friends"
Erza's POV
What...the...hell? As much I as wanted to jump out of bed and get ready for a new day at college, I couldn't...and I wouldn't. Yep, Lucy's party I guess was more crazy than I thought... so crazy I actually slept with someone. My mind tried to process who it was, but no avail. Well whoever this person was were smart enough to leave, who knows what would happen. Damnit I'm going to kill Lucy I can't believe my heartbroken thoughts would lead to this, Once I had the strength to get out of bed I quickly took a shower and went downstairs to be greeted by my estactic roomate.
"Morning Erza!" she said while snickering, I scowled. "What is so funny?" Lucy smirked at my question, "Did you have fun night" I rolled my eyes in annoyance and quickly changed the subject. "So what's for breakfast?" Lucy sighed with happiness "I met this guy, he was amazing and funny and-". Great...Lucy is now jabbering about some dude at the party which means she didn't listen to me annnd she didn't make anything for breakfast. Typical. "Ugh...cereal it is then" I opened the fridge to see that wasn't any milk, days like these make me wonder why have a roomate? "Oh right I forgot to tell you, we were doing a milk chugging contest last night" Lucy said while laughing. With that said, I grabbed my car keys and walked outside. "WAIT FOR ME ERZA!"
Gray's POV
I slept with someone...I actually slept with someone. I can't believe I would do something like this. Natsu on the otherhand was living the dream, he didn't have anything to worry about no..what if's, or...maybe's. But all I focused on was her, will I ever see her again. I hope not...I just don't want things to end up in a disaster. Loke and Natsu were having the time of their lives laughing about what happened, and not a single word came out saying-
"Hey bro, are you ok?" Nevermind guess they noticed. I frowned, but didn't respond. "I don't mean to make you feel worse..but Juvia's coming over". There she is, she is so beautiful, those lucious locks, those beautiful blue eyes, and that amazing signature tattoo on her thigh...everyone had one actually it was a choice whether to get one or not. Not the point though. "Hello Gray sama" she said in her usually cheery voice, ok be cool dude don't screw this up. "Umm...hey Juvia" Nailed it! "Juvia wanted to apologize because she treated Gray sama very badly" The way she talked in third person was unique to me, as much as I liked her I was still pissed. And I don't know why..my mind just kept focusing on that scarlet haired girl from last night.
"It's fine" I said kinda strained, she smiled but the cool atmosphere left once Lyon came. He wasn't the only one to arrive, but I saw her too. Honey brown eyes met with my dark blue ones, yup it was definatly her. At the moment, I completely forgot about Juvia and Lyon. It was her that got my attention the most. Erza Scarlet
Third Person POV
Gray and Erza continued to gawk at one another as the students watched in confusion, Juvia was brave to ask aloud "Juvia wants to know why is Gray sama staring at that girl?" No matter how many times the blunette asked this question it was never answered, Finally having the nerve to speak Gray coolly walked towards the redhead. "Hey, Im Gray" he stated nervously, Erza on the otherhand didn't know what to say.
Say hi, say hi, say hi her mind chanted. No words were yet to be spoken, Gray stood there scanning her with his eyes. She's beautiful he thought, what caught his attention the most was her scarlet locks. "h-hi" Erza said snapping him out of his thoughts, awkward silence filled the hallways once again. Students began to fled the hall rushing to their classes, it was certainly going to be a busy and difficult day.
Hours later...
Erza ran as fast as she could to her dorm, the scarlet haired maiden was frusturated and embarrassed of today. College was supposed to be educational and fun...right, atleast that's what she thought. She flopped of her bed once she reached her room, Jellal why did you have to leave me? Tears suddenly ran down her cheeks, this wasn't suppose to happen it was a mistake. A knock was then heared at the door causing her to quickly wipe her tears, Did Lucy forget her key again...not suprising at all. Gaining her composure she walked to the door to find out the visitor was not Lucy, it was him.
Erza's POV
...WHY!? of all the people who could've been behind this door, why him. Say hi Erza! My concious yelled, instead I did the complete opposite...yep I slammed the door in his face. I know it seemed rude, but he is the last person I wanted to see. I'm going to have to open the door eventually just get it over with I thought, once again I slowly turned the door knob to reveal my unwanted visitor. "Hey..." he greeted nervously, the awkwardness was so thick you could even visualize it.
"Hi" I stated blankly, what did he want from me? Why does he keep talking to me...his nervous face soon turned into something serious. "Can I come in please?" I stepped aside allowing him to enter, "So..about last night" he started. Oh no, not only did I not want to see him but he also wants to talk about something I want to forget. "Last night, we both know it shouldn't have happened", as much as I wanted to forget it I was quite disappointed he described it as a mistake. "Yea, um sorry about that " he face held no emotion, "Its fine I hope we can still be friends though". I needed to forget about Jellal, I needed a distraction with him Jellal never even crossed my mind. I need a rebound.
Once Gray was about to leave I grabbed his hand and yanked him back inside. "What the hell?!" he exclaimed. I inhaled to calm myself, "Look I know this may seem desperate and stupid, but... I need your help with something" Gray cocked an eyebrow "with what" he stated cautiously. "I need your help to forget about Jellal..."
Gray's POV
Is she serious?! She can't be serious, "You want me to be a rebound" I said with disbelief. She twirled her finger around one another awkwardly, "I know I know it seems stupid...forget it nevermind" I sighed heavily. "What's in it for me?" I asked grumpily, "Who knows maybe..You might get Juvia's attention..for once" She said mumbling the last part, "Fine I'm in this all starts at school tomorrow understand" she nodded. I gave her a kiss on the cheek before leaving, I just hope nothing turns into shit.
