CHAPTER 2
It was a tiring day for Sasuke. The twin had dropped him off at his house before they went back to theirs. As soon as the school ended, they had gone to the town for the dinner that Sasuke promised and went to the arcade after that. But it was not long before they were forced to leave the arcade because one of the girls there recognized Sasuke and start squealing, attracting other passersby. The next thing he knew, they were running for their life away from the rabid fangirls. After that, they just settled for driving around the town since it's been a long time since he had been to Magnolia. Before this, he attended the prestigious Konoha High because it was easier to make it with his modeling career.
"I'm home," he said as he opened the door to the house, more like a mansion to him.
"Sasuke, you're home." His mother peeked at him from the dining room wearing her apron on. "Come have dinner with your father and I," she said cheerily.
Sasuke stiffened at that and was thankful that he had already eaten with the two idiots before. Don't get him wrong, he loved his mom and everything but he admitted that she was awful in making food.
He went to the kitchen anyway and saw that his father was already seated at the head of the table.
"I'm full mom. I already had dinner with Naruto and Natsu before coming home," he said as he plopped next to the seat beside his father, while his mother sat opposite of him.
His father sent a look his way and Sasuke noticed the slight twitch at the left corner of his eye. For a moment he felt sorry for his father for having to go through this yet again and he sighed heavily. When would his mother learn to just leave the kitchen alone to the servant? He never met anyone lousier in cooking than his own mother.
"Why don't you try the new dishes I made, dear," his mother said, placing a piece of chicken in his father's plate.
"Thank you," his father replied before he braced himself to taste the dishes.
"Is it good?"
"Ah," was the simple answer from Uchiha Fugaku.
"Are you sure you don't want any, Sasuke?"
"No. thank you mom," he quickly decline, which earned him a glare from his father that clearly translated as 'you're lucky son'. He fought the urge to smirk at his father's demise.
"How's brother doing? When can I see him? He's not even here to help me with my first day in the new school," he asked with a scowl on his face.
"He's fine although a bit busy," his mother gently replied. "You have to excuse him Sasuke. Itachi is so busy nowadays especially with the takeover that will be happening soon. I'm glad that he's living together with his fiancée now. At least someone is taking care of him. Knowing him, he would be too busy to even eat his daily meal."
"They're living together now?" Sasuke asked incredulously. Sure, Sasuke knew that his brother was engaged a few months back but he didn't know who Itachi was engaged to since he was at Konoha at that moment and he couldn't care less about the girl. No formal announcement or event had been done but Itachi suddenly called to tell him that he had proposed to a girl. The girl could be a gold digger in his mind and he never made any effort to know her, even to know her name. He was worried for his brother. He didn't want Itachi to get hurt.
He never knew why Itachi suddenly informed that he was getting engaged. Sasuke didn't even know his brother had a girlfriend before. He was 21 years old. He was too young to get tied up so soon. But knowing Itachi, maybe it was because he thought he would be too busy to find a suitable wife later on.
"Of course. If you just take the time to care about his engagement, then you would know about this," his mother scolded. "Take some time to get to know Itachi's fiancée. She's a nice girl."
"Why should I know about her? I'm not the one engaged to her. Itachi does," he countered, pouting at his mother.
Fugaku sighed loudly. Sasuke didn't like his brother's fiancée although he never met her and he was quite vocal about it. Although to tell the truth, Sasuke just didn't like the idea of his only brother starting a family of his own. He was just feeling insecure and scared that Itachi wouldn't spare him time when that finally happened. The two brothers were close after all. "Itachi will be coming home for dinner as soon as he comes back from a meeting in China."
Sasuke's ear perked at hearing that, happy that he would have the time to hang out with his brother but the next sentence coming out from his father's mouth made him gloomy instantly.
"And of course his fiancée will be joining."
"You need to behave yourself Sasuke," his mother warned.
"Okay. Okay," he sighed and slumped in his chair, defeated for the moment.
Satisfied with his compliance, Mikoto proceed to eat her dinner. She put the dishes in her mouth and almost choked at her own cooking.
"What's wrong?" Fugaku asked his wife.
"How can you eat this? It's tasteless," she exclaimed. Mikoto looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry Fugaku-sama. I'm bad at cooking," she said, sobbing uncontrollably. Fugaku sighed at his wife antic and pat her back awkwardly.
"It's okay, it's not that bad actually," he said trying to sooth his crying wife only to have his wife wailed louder.
"I'll just go to my room," Sasuke said awkwardly. Not waiting for any reply, he dashed out of the dining room before the situation could escalate any further. His mother just never learned to accept the truth that she was a lousy cook. He proceeded to walk up the stairs to his sanctuary, his bedroom at the second floor.
Closing the door to his room, he dropped his bag at the corner and entered the bathroom. He took the time showering, feeling refresh at the warm water cascading down his body, washing away the fatigue he felt from today's activity.
After getting dress and drying his hair, he lay on his comfy bed and stared at the ceiling lost in his thought. Just then, a loud beep broke his concentration and he reached for his phone.
New text message: Naruto
Need a ride to school tomorrow?
"Tch." He quickly texted a reply.
To: Naruto
Sure, my car has not arrived yet. So I guess I'll tag along with you and Natsu for now.
A minute later, the reply came.
New text message: Naruto
Okay. We will pick you up at 7.30 tomorrow. Don't be late!
And he replied his answer.
To: Naruto
Got it. You're the one to talk idiot. Just make sure that Natsu don't overslept again!
With that they ended their message. Sasuke couldn't wait for tomorrow to come. For once in his life, he was looking forward to be in school although the thought of fangirls made him cringed in horror. School this year would be very interesting, mostly because he was surrounded with his best friends and also because of a certain red hair beauty that left him wondering.
"Erza Scarlet," he whispered the name. "What an interesting person."
####################
Erza looked at the clock and saw that it was already 11.00 pm. She closed her book and switched off the table lamp. She walked out of her room and stood in the middle of the spacious living room. It was dark but she didn't need the light to make her way around the apartment.
She was alone again tonight but she was used to it anyway. She was used to the quietness in her apartment.
She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Filling a glass of milk and a piece of strawberry cheesecake from the fridge, she sat at the island and enjoyed her favorite food in silence. Nothing could come between her and her strawberry cake. After she finished the dishes, she washed the glass and plate before she went to the living room.
Exhausted after finishing her schoolwork and study, she plopped on the couch and laid there in the dark staring at the ceiling although all she could see was black. She put her arms over her eyes and unconsciously her mind went to the event at school earlier that day. Sasuke Uchiha just attended Fairy Tail High and his arrival had cause quite a stir at the school, especially with the girls.
How annoying, she thought. She had to double her work in order to stop the girls from loitering around the hallways just so that they could accidentally met him and probably asked for his autograph.
Sasuke Uchiha just made her life become more bothersome and she could already feel the trouble coming her way.
Somehow this year would be a troublesome year after all, she grudgingly thought.
Troublesome year indeed.
Erza never noticed that she had fallen asleep on the couch nor did she notice the door being unlocked before she was scooped up and tucked in her own bed for the night.

"Okay, class. I will give a group assignment so you need to finish it and sent the answer script to me next week before 1.00 pm. I will not tolerate any late submission," their History teacher, Mr. Gildart announced. "I will paste the list of the group later in front of my room. Any question?"
A hand shot out.
"Yes Natsu?"
"How many people in a group?"
"Just two people in a group," he said while the pink haired boy only nodded in response. "If there is no more question, class is dismissed."
The whole class groaned at the prospect of another group assignment after their teacher walked out of the class. With Erza in the student council meeting, the students took the time to chat among themselves.
"Yo Sasuke!" Naruto smacked his friend at the back earning a loud curse from the black haired teen.
"What the hell Naruto! Are you trying to kill me?" Sasuke scolded the overly cheery boy.
"Geez. What got your panties in a bunch? Relax man," he said before he sat next to the seething brunette.
"You're hopeless," Sasuke muttered.
"You love me anyway," Naruto replied cheekily. "Anyway, we're going to have lunch with a bunch of my friends later. I'll introduce you guys," he explained.
"Sure," he shrugged.
"Man, I hope I'm partnered with Lucy. She's brilliant," Natsu announced suddenly plopping beside Sasuke's other side that was empty.
"I don't care who I got partnered with as long as it is not with Erza," Naruto shivered. "Do you remember what happened the last time I got partnered with her?" He sulked remembering his demise at the hand of the feared student council president.
"Yeah, you got punch so hard for being stupid," Natsu exclaimed before he burst out laughing.
Naruto could only glared at his twin for making fun of him and laughing at his demise.
Sasuke chuckled in response. "I feel sorry for whomever it is that got partnered with her," he muttered carelessly without any care in the world.
