This is horrible

Epic friends I

MISCOMMUNICATION

I'm sitting at the cafeteria, trying to read-proof Meredy's report, but couldn't concentrate so much since the place was like a madhouse. I don't know how big your school cafeteria is, but ours is about the size of Canada. No kidding. It's a sea of tables and chairs and trash cans. With the entire student body milling around in it, I felt like I was in a rock concert, only without a group to listen to, and without the feeling of excitement, and no fast food or – okay, it was nothing at all like a rock concert. It was just a mess of noisy kids.

I was there okay, at the seat closest to the window, trying to read Meredy's report as well as chat with my friends.

4-A School batch X792

Meredy is typing. . .

Meredy: OMG, Jellal! Windows frozen. What should I do?

Jellal: Just pour some warm water over them.

Meredy: Oh. . .? Okay.

Jellal: Did the magic work?

Meredy: Jellal?

Jellal: Yes?

Meredy: Now the computer's sending off sparks. I thought you said the warm water would work?

Jellal: What?

Before I could freak out because I mistook WINDOWS with actual windows a movement and a blurred of red caught my eye. The first time I glance up, Erza was looking right in my eyes.

I blink a couple of times.

Yep. Erza Scarlet, THE TITANIA, has just sat at the empty chair across from me. I stared at her. She stared back. After that I can't help but stared back at her and her cake and of course she stared back at me and at my paper works. All of this staring seemed to go on like forever.

She's the one who break the eye contact. She put her cake down and started to munch on it. I studied the cafeteria once again and just noticed that yes, Erza Scarlet didn't sat here because she want to share a table with me, but because there's no empty seat left. That doesn't make it less awkward though.

Quickly, I type for help.

4-A School batch X792

Jellal: Guys! Erza Scarlet shared a table with me! What to do?

After that message a million responses followed.

Meredy: SERIOUSLY?!

Levy: What?! I have to see this!

Lucy: OMG! I'm in my car on the way to school. Tell us where your table is right now and I'll be there when I arrive. RIGHT NOW, FERNANDEZ.

Gray: Shit! I have classes! I wanna see this phenomenon, dang it!

Loke: Aww! I'm gunning for her too.

Gajeel: First advice, don't look stupid bro. Have a book in you? Act like the smartass you are!

Lucy: HAHAHA! I guess you used that technic to Levy, Gajeel?

Gajeel: Doesn't work. She already knew I'm stupid.

Natsu: Would you all shaddup? I'm healing my broken heart, here!

Gray: What? Lucy already turns you down?

Lucy: What? Who turn down who now?

Natsu: It's Igneel.

Levy: What did Igneel do now?

Natsu: I told Igneel to embrace his mistakes. He cried. Then he hugged Zeref and me.

Meredy: HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Gajeel: It's okay. My mom is much more worse. She never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch.

Jellal tapped his fingers impatiently at his phone's screen, like the usual discussion, their conversation is taking a detour into something else. Jellal steal a glimpse of Erza and she was still eating her cake, looking uncomfortable like him. He needs advice ASAP!

Jellal: Uh, guys? Erza and table? Advices remember?

Lucy: Don't worry, Jellal. Just told her you love her.

Jellal: What?

Levy: Yeah! And ask her for a date, maybe to the beach or the mountains . . . anywhere is fine!

Jellal: Uh. . .

Meredy: But don't ever ever tell her she's not Ariel okay? HAHAHAHA.

Gray: Don't give her inhalers either. HAHAHAHAHA.

Jellal: You're all such great friends. Really cool, guys, really cool.

Meredy: Sorry HAHAHAHA It was just so dang funny!

Lucy: Anyway why are you being uncomfortable for? Aside from yeah you think she hates you and stuff. . . . You can just ignore her right?

Jellal: Actually, I want to say thank you . . . when she saved my life at the pool at that miserable party.

Gray: Which you hosted.

Gajeel: And you yourself ruined by turning into a total riot.

Jellal: OKAY! Not getting any more advises from you guys!

Lucy: You can just thank her in the traditional way, Jellal.

Jellal: Traditional way?

Gajeel: Yep. Pounce on her, grab her nape and kiss her.

Gray: Stick your tongue in.

Loke: And maybe add some humping just to be sure.

Jellal: I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE ADVICE FROM YOU PEOPLE AGAIN.

Natsu: Ooh, Lucy! I love this song! Turn it up!

Lucy: . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Natsu: . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lucy: . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Natsu: . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lucy: How long have you been in my back seat?!

Gajeel: HAHAHAHAHA!

Levy: Just say thank you naturally. 'Thank you for saving me Erza. It really means a lot to me. I won't forget it. I promise to make it up to you.'

Jellal steal a glimpse of Erza again. She seems unperturbed of his existence. In fact it seems like she was pretending he didn't exist. Great.

Jellal: Sheesh. I'm nervous. I don't think I can do it.

Gajeel: Man up, bro!

Jellal: Hey that's easy for you to say when you do not taste her wrath every day. Why does she hate me so much anyway?

Loke: You should ask Laxus. Hey, Lax! Don't be a seen lord! Give some advice!

Laxus Dreyar is typing. . .

Laxus: Why can't you just make a move, Jellal? I thought you're stronger than that.

Loke: Oy, Lax. How's the date with Mirajane last night? Did you score?

Laxus: Not quite. First date we went to dinner and I take her home. Then I killed her outside her house and left.

Loke: Killing her seems a bit harsh. Did she order the lobster and fillet mignom dinner or something?

Laxus: *KISSED WTF.

Gray: HAHAHAHA.

Jellal took a deep breath. Erza was almost finish eating her cake.

Jellal: Okay, guys. Wish me luck!

He shut his phone because he knew that announcement leads to a long conversation again. He looked Erza in the eye and he waited until he catches her stare.

"Um, Thanks for saving me. You know. At the party." Jellal made a smile that might have been a grimace. "They say you saved me and I don't really remember everything but sorry for whatever humiliation I've done to you. Ugh, at the pool sorry for pushing you away and stuff. For saving me uh I wouldn't forget it for the rest of my life. I . . . yeah. . . If you need help or anything you can ask me. I wish I could save you from the pool like you do with me but um I can't swim so. . . " He trailed of because Erza had this expression he didn't understand.

Erza just looked at him, speechless. Time ticked by.

"I'm okay with awkward silence." He said, lacking words to say.

Erza turned completely red and lowered her gaze. "S-sorry. It was my first. . ."

"I'm your first?" Jellal asked, astonished. "Wow. Thank God I didn't die right?" He laughs it off as a joke. "I'm like an experiment mannequin or something. Thank you for saving me though."

She stood suddenly and abruptly so. She looked down on him as she stood. "Die? You'd think you'd die just because I. . ." Not finishing her sentence, she left in rage and Jellal was left with disbelief and confusion. Jellal decided to ask his friends.

Jellal: Erza walked out on me. What did I do? She really hates me. Told you guys this wouldn't work.

Meredy: WHAT?! WHAT DID YOU DO JELLAL?!

Levy: Give us the full story and don't leave any details!

He types their whole conversation and he was barely finished when they all bombarded him with response.

Lucy: Crap, no one told Jellal?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING MEREDY?!

Jellal: TOLD ME WHAT

Natsu: ERZA SAVED YOU WITH CPR DUDE

Gray: Basically you told her you'd die because she kissed you!

Meredy: Oh my, THIS IS PRICELESS

Gajeel: KISS OF DEAD BY ARIEL. SHIT! LMAO~

Laxus: You're horrible, Jellal.

Jellal: HOW THE HELL WOULD I KNOW I HATE YOU GUYS
