Since that day we made an oath that we'll never be apart no matter what happens, and we'll find each other if we ever get separated. Jellal promised me that he'll take me to any places I want and that we'll have an extravagant wedding with hundreds of guests in the future, just the thought of it made me blush, i'll do anything to make our relationship stronger and unbreakable.

Tomorrow will be our graduation day, soon we will have to work by ourselves to earn our very own salary. I'll miss Lucy, Levy, Juvia and all my friends in Carter Academy. I haven't even thought about getting a job or when and where am I gonna settle down, time flies by so fast.

Today is our last day of school so I got out of bed early. I went to the kitchen to eat my breakfast. I toasted two breads and spread butter all over them, I ate them while running to school. When I arrived, students were wearing their complete uniform, they must have realized how important this day is. I went to our classroom and sat on my usual seat. I saw Lucy happily approaching me.

"Hey Erza" she waved at the same time grinning

"Hey Lucy, what's up?" I chuckled

"Today's our last day of school so here I bought you a gift" she handed me a box, inside it was a huge and round strawberry cake

"Oh my gosh! Thanks Lucy you truly are a great friend but I didn't bought you any gift i'll make it up to you" I stated embarrassingly

"Hmmm tell me what happened to you and Jellal yesterday?" she asked with her evil face

"W-what? H-how did you?"

"Me, Levy and Juvia were stalking you two yesterday in the valley of flowers, when you two were about to start talking Levy needed to go to the bathroom, when we arrived you two kissed, so please tell me I promise i'll keep it a secret" Lucy asked pleadingly with her puppy eyes, I guess I have no choice but to tell her

"Fine fine, Jellal asked me to be his girlfriend so I said yes. So this cake was a bribe?" Lucy can be evil sometimes

"Erza has a boyfriend Erza has a boyfriend" She jumped around me like a monkey craving for bananas

"Lucy keep it down people might know" I whispered

"Oh yeah sorry"

Just as she was saying that Mr. Underwood came and gave Lucy a death stare, she hurriedly went to her seat and gave me a wink. Mr. Underwood kept babbling about Math equations and other stuffs, I didn't really listened to him because I was sleepy and tired.

When class ended I went outside and searched for Jellal. I found him sitting down under the tall tree of our school drinking orange juice. He patted the grass beside him motioning for me to sit. I nodded and sat beside him.

"Erza I have something to tell you" Jellal said with a depressing tone

"What is it?" I asked curiously

"I'll be working as a vice-president in my dad's business right after graduation" he's face darkened

"Isn't that a good thing?" I said trying to reassure him

"Yes it's a good thing but i'll be working far away from you" tears ran through his cheeks

I wiped the tears off his cheeks. I don't know what to say, it hurts, he might forget me and our relationship. All I did was cry on Jellal's shoulder.

"Promise me you won't forget me" I raised my pinky

"Yes I promise, i'll marry you Erza as soon as I come back from work" he curled his pinky around mine

"Why are we crying like kids?" I stated trying to be funny

"Yeah we should be happy because we don't have to worry about home works and projects anymore" we laughed despite our problems.

I went home depressed, tomorrow Jellal will be gone he might never see me again. I took a hot bath and prepared my school uniform for tomorrow's event. I covered myself with a blanket and sobbed before I slept.

Graduation day...

I woke up as early as possible today to get ready for graduation. I put on some mascara, lipstick and eyeliner, i'm not used to putting on make-up so i'm pretty sure I look like a witch with my eyeliner so I decided to call Lucy, Levy and Juvia for help. They came here with their make-up bags.

"Lets make you pretty for Jellal, Erza" Levy McGarden grinned

"I'll make you pretty too Erza so that Gray-sama will know i'm talented" Juvia Loxar smiled dreamily

"All right people let's get to work, Juvia you work on Erza's hair, Levy work on her nails while i'll work on her make-up" Lucy commanded

Lucy erased my eyeliner and drew a new one, she's an expert when it comes to cosmetics, Juvia curled my hair while Levy painted my nails scarlet to match my hair.

"You suck at eyeliners Erza" Lucy teased

"Oh shut up"

When they were all done they looked at me with their eyes wide open.

"Uhh guys you look like you just saw a ghost" I spoke

"No, it's just that, YOUR SO PRETTY!" Lucy squealed holding my hand so tight

"SOOO PRETTY" Levy and Juvia stated in unison

"Awww thank you guys, I wouldn't look like this without you" I gave them a group hug

We went to school together. On the way their we laughed and talked about our problems but I didn't tell them about Jellal, I don't want them to be sad. When we finally arrived we settled down on chairs at the front row where we can hear the speaker. When the speaker was about to announce the honors of our class my heart skipped a beat. They said that the valedictorian, salutatorian and first honorable mention can have a job at a prestigious company with an incredibly high salary.

"Valedictorian; Ms. Levy McGarden, Salutatorian; Ms. Lucy Heartfilia, First Honorable Mention; Ms. Erza Scarlet" the speaker announced

Me, Lucy and Levy went up the stage giggling and squealing. I'm very happy to be in the top 3 and other than that I get a really awesome job. Before we went down the stage the photographer took pictures of us with our diplomas and medals.

When the ceremony ended I called Jellal's cellphone but no one answered. I went to their house mainly because I thought he might be their. I rang the doorbell, a maid about 29 years old came and opened the door.

"Who might you be miss?" the maid asked

"I'm Erza a friend of Jellal, can I talk to Jellal?" I asked politely

"Oh i'm terribly sorry miss but master Jellal left 10 minutes ago"

"Where's he going?" I demanded

"he went to the airport for his wor-"

Before she can finish her line I knew exactly what she meant, I rushed to the airport crying, why would he do this to me? I thought he loves me?
