Scarlet is horribly EPIC

Epic I

"I LOVE JELLAL"

When I was in sixth grade, I first started to have a huge crush on this boy named Jellal. He was called "Cyborg" in grade school, was a loner and was not ashamed of it. He is cold, sometimes inconsiderate and emotionally withdrawn. I don't think he notice me one bit.

Throughout elementary and middle school we used planners (basically just a calendar in a notebook for the unaware) where we would write down our homework. Teachers would assign a "planner checker" for that day or whatever and they would just go around the class and make sure everyone had written down the assignment.

One day I had the bright idea to write "I Love Jellal" in huge letters in my planner on the page that corresponded to that date. At first I didn't think it was a big deal, if my friends would be the checker, Natsu would just only die if he tease me and Gray won't see another day if he would as much as smirk, so my friends seeing that was nothing really.

The teacher announced that Jellal would be the checker that day.

Shit, shit, shit! I began furiously scribbling over the "I Love Jellal" thing until you couldn't see what it said anymore. Then, for good measure, I put my hand over the scribbles but casually, of course.

My heart is beating out my chest when Jellal checked my planner.

He checked here and there and oh my God please just go already when he noticed that apparently I'm hiding something under my hand.

All of a sudden there's a lump on my throat. "W-what?"

"The note under your hand. What is it? Another assignment?"

"It's nothing. . ." I mumbled under my breath.

"What?" Apparently he didn't hear me and leans in.

Oh my God his face is so close and he was this close to know that I like him—he can't know I like him or else—or else! Blood rushes in my ears and I screamed while blushing like crazy. "It's nothing already! Why are you so annoying?! GO AWAY!"

The whole class are staring at us now. For the first time I saw him flushed, flushed in embarrassment, because of me. I embarrassed him in front of everyone oh my God ghskshws. . .

He moves on without saying a word. I really wanted to say I'm sorry that I do like him but apparently I can't since Jellal Fernandez avoided me like his life depended on it.

I wanted to die.

EPIC II

COLLEGE DAYS

Natsu and I were sitting in auditorium having fun while senior students performed on the stage. Suddenly I noticed a guy remarkably similar to Jellal coming in from the left door with his friend.

I strangle Natsu's neck in excitement. "Oh my God, Natsu! Oh my God!"

Natsu patted the arm that strangles him. "E-erza. . . can't . . . breathe. . ."

Jellal sat around 3 rows ahead of me, little bit on the right side. I don't have an excuse to greet him, let alone get close to him, so I had no way of knowing that it was him. I was almost sure but still wanted to confirm it that it was definitely him. I have my doubts since Jellal moved away from the country after sixth grade.

"It's Jellal!" I exclaimed letting go of Natsu.

Natsu coughed a couple of times. "Jellal who?"

"Our classmate! Sixth Grade."

He shook his head. "Nu-uh. Nothing. Can't remember."

"It's definitely him!" I sighed dreamily. "Oh my God, Jellal is here! After so many years! Though I don't know if that's Jellal but still! He has this Jellal aura so i am contented somewhat even though it's not Jellal but if it was him, oh my God, I can feel it was him!"

"Want me to check it out?" Natsu asked.

I grinned real wide. There are times when the boisterous and reckless Natsu are useful. I slapped his back hard. "Way to go, partner!"

He coughed a couple of times. "Sympathy for my lungs please!"

"He has a birthmark on his cheek. Now go." I shove him out of his seat. "Just sit a row ahead of him and casually look behind to see if that was him."

"Okay, okay, I get it. Geez."

So there, Natsu was sitting just ahead of him. I was waiting for him to do something but apparently he was more interested in watching the dance act performed by the medical department that HE FORGOT ABOUT JELLAL. Five minutes down, he didn't do a thing. Furiously, I called him on his cell and it turned out to be one of the biggest mistake of my college life.

*cell vibrates*

I saw him picks his phone.

Natsu: Yeah, Erza?

Me: Natsu, stop staring at the stage and just look behind you!

Finally he realizes his task and in the middle of our conversation, he turns around and stares at Jellal for a good ten seconds.

Oh my God Natsu! I said CASUALLY what part of CASUAL YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND—

To my dismay he looks at me. . . Thisisnotgoodthisisnotgoodthisisnotgood—NO NO NO!

And yells!

Natsu: Yes, Erza! It's the same guy!

Jellal turns his head and there I was, sitting behind him, his eyes met mine and I blushed harder—redder than my hair.

It didn't end there. Natsu checks him out again and then pointing towards his cheek, says: You're right! He got that funny birthmark on his cheek! It's weird!

Dear God, he didn't just say that! I was stunned and embarrassed beyond limit. People who heard Natsu checks Jellal out and a murmur of agreement on how weird the new transfer student spread out. The next thing I remember doing was packing my stuff mid fest and leaving for home.

Jellal hates me now. Again.

EPIC III

HUG HIM

I was walking down at the campus proper with Lucy at that time. We had nothing to do and we're bored out of our minds. We looked across the street and there was a guy walking that looked our age but he had his hood up so we couldn't see his face.

Suddenly she turns to me, a glint of mischief in her eyes. "Erza, would you like a dare?"

"What kind of dare?"

"Run over to that guy, give him a hug, and then run back. If you were able to do it I'll wash your laundry this week."

Someone else washing my laundry was like music to my ears so I agreed and ran across the street. Before hugging the hooded stranger, when I was like two feet from him, I looked at the guy's face only to found out that the guy was Jellal. It's Jellal. MY CRUSH. JELLAL.

He gave me a blank stare. I just stood there, my arms in mid-air, petrified, not knowing what to do. We stood there for like FOREVER IN SILENCE.

"H-hi." I choked out and ran back across the street to Lucy. Unfortunately I walk past the water fountain and slipped in a big pool of water on the floor. When i was on the floor I looked up and saw Jellal staring at me.

"I fell." Was all I could say in shock and embarrassment.

He smiled. It's the first time I see him smile. It's a very attractive smile. "Yes, I see that."

I wanted the ground to swallow me right there and then. To my surprise, he offered me his hand. Misjudging my strength, as I accepted his hand and didn't answer (because I'm blushing like crazy), instead of him pulling me up, I pulled him down, which took Jellal off-guard, tumbling us both into the water.

I lay on top of him, both of us wet, and we stared right at each other's eyes. My heart is beating really fast and the atmosphere is really romantic until. . .

"You go girl, Erza!" Lucy cheered. People walking by that see the incident cheers too and I almost died!

I knew what Lucy is thinking. She knew about my die-hard crush on Jellal and she was cheering because I'm almost lying on top of him but on strangers perspective it looks like she was cheering me on because I succeed on embarrassing Jellal!

Jellal glared at me. He thought I'm doing this in purpose to humiliate him. I belong to the mischief group for a reason after all.

"Why do you hate me so much?" He asked and he sounded really irritated.

I cried anime tears when he walks away. No, Jellal, I don't hate you . . . Damn it my titania strength.

A/N: This is more embarrassing than hilarious encounters but I hope this makes you smile!
