After class I went to my locker so that I can put my books and other stuffs there, when I opened it a note fell down. I knelt down to open it, the note says:
Dear Erza,
I need to see you after school, I want to talk and learn more things about you.
- Jellal Fernandes
I gasped and held the note tighter, my heart was beating so fast, why is my heart jumping? I've never felt anything like this before. When the school bell finally rang I somehow felt excited like someone's taking me to a cake shop. I walked slowly, I saw Jellal waiting for me, he was leaning beside a wall with his hands in his pockets. I walked directly to him and spoke.
"Uhhh, hi Jellal" I nervously started the conversation
"Oh hi Erza, I was waiting for you here, mind if I walk you home?"
"Sure" I smiled at him
"Can I have your number? So that it will be easy for us to keep in touch"
I gave him my number, we talked for so long, he even bought me a cake. Jellal is so kind and thoughtful. Now i know what my feelings truly mean, its a feeling of LOVE. Everytime I go to school I get excited to see him, sometimes he won't be able to notice me because of some girls fighting over him, I admit i feel jealous everytime those girls get close to him its like I wanna punch them and shout: "DON'T GO NEAR HIM OR I'LL BREAK YOUR BONES!". I'm sure he wouldn't feel the same way about me i'm just a normal girl, not quite pretty and popular.
When I was walking down the hall I saw Jellal laughing with the prettiest and most popular girl in school; Heather. It looks like he's having fun with her so I didn't disturbed them. My heart felt like someone just strangled it, Jellal must've noticed me because he ran towards me and grabbed my hand.
"Erza! Are you ok?" He catched his breathe for a few minutes
"Of course I am" I felt tears coming up but I held them back
"You don't look ok, please tell me Erza" He held my hand tighter
"I just passed by then I saw you talking with Heather so uhmm I didn't disturbed you guys" I'm so bad at lying
"Oh ok then, ja ne" He smiled and waved at me
Hearing those words from him terribly hurt me, he doesn't care about me, it's already obvious that there are no chances of him liking me back, why did I even expect him to love me? I guess I should erase my feelings for him and forget about what happened. I tried to sleep that night but my mind keeps on reminding me about how Jellal and me met. I tried to call Lucy Heartfilia; my BFFE (Best Friends Forever and Ever), she usually tells me love tips and comforts me when I am sad.
"Hey Lucy" I greeted her with a sad tone
"Oh hey Erza whats up?" She said cheerfully
"Uhmm the guy I liked just had a fun time with Heather, it breaks my heart"
"There there Erza its ok they're just having fun right? It doesn't mean that the guy you like love her just because he was laughing with her, so cheer up I don't want my BFFE to be sad" When Lucy said it I felt a little hope growing inside me
"Thanks Lucy I knew I can count on you"
"Anytime Erza, bye"
"Bye"
I placed my phone on top of the table beside my bed, I felt a sigh of relief just because of Lucy, she's the best. After 30 minutes I heard someone calling my name bellow the house, at first I thought it was a ghost but when I looked down I saw Jellal on a bike waving and smiling at me. I don't know what to do, should I be mad or happy about it? I went downstairs to see him.
"What are you doing here it's already 11:45? And how did you know my address?" I whispered
"Long story, come on Erza, get on at the back of the bike" He smiled, his smile made me blush, I hope he didn't saw me
We biked around town, I leaned my head on Jellal's back. We finally decided to go to the park to rest for a while. We talked about how he knew my address. Jellal also told me that he and Heather are cousins, I was stunned when I heard about that. While we were talking I felt sleepy and fell on Jellal's shoulder, he just wrapped his arms around me and whispered "Good night". It feels so good sleeping on his shoulder and his arms wrapped around me, it's so warm and cozy. When I was still sleeping he drove me back to my apartment and tucked me in my bed, little did I know that he kissed me in the forehead.
When I woke up in the morning I remembered what exactly happened last night. The thought about it made my face hot, maybe I was a nuisance to him? or maybe he thinks that i'm annoying because I slept on his shoulder?. I checked the date and i felt relieved that today is Saturday, nothing to do, just watching t.v. and eat popcorn.
