DISCLAIMER: HIRO MASHIMA OWNS ALL THE CHARACTERS AND FAIRY TAIL
English is my second language so I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
New semester.
Yup, that means new grade, everyone is a third grade now.
Erza looked at the list of 3-A and it seems her name is in there.
But Jellal wasn't.
Well, obviously, since Jellal is actually in S Class. She almost forgot about that. But luckily, she managed to stay in A Class, which for now.
"Erza! Natsu and Gray are at it again!" Lucy whined as she pointed at the two who's screaming their lungs out about who's better.
"I told you I'll rank higher for this time!"
"Don't put my brain and yours the same, Flame-brain!"
"That's my line, ice stripper!"
Geez, Erza just arrived at school and this is the welcome? As expected. Gray and Natsu was fighting and throwing all the stuff in the class. Poor them, someone's pencil case got into Erza's face, which makes everyone there froze.
"You guys…." Erza's bangs covered her eyes luckily, so no one can get a trauma from seeing it. The dark aura surrounded Erza, making the poor Natsu and Gray shivered. Good luck, you both.
"Erza, as usual, is that even a lunch?" Lucy asked, her eyes narrowed towards Erza's bento.
"What are you saying, Lucy? I usually ate this you know." Erza asked, confused.
"But what kind of person ate strawberry cake for lunch?" Levy asked, also looking at the strawberry cheesecake Erza took a bite to. "Are you sure you don't want to eat mine or Lucy's?" She asked, still uncertain. How in the world Erza didn't get fat with all the cakes she ate?
"Ah, Erza-san! Here you are!" Juvia walked towards Erza with a relief look. "Vice principal, Gemini-sensei asked for you at the office." She explained.
"You dropped your grade again, Erza?" Lucy asked and Erza quickly shook her head. "I get a perfect A for all my exams these last 2 weeks." She explained.
"Wait, perfect A for all the exams?" Levy asked and Erza nodded her head innocently. "Oh right, she isn't normal after all..." Levy murmured as she took another bite of her lunch.
Erza nervously walked towards the office, currently thinking on how she would react if she changed class. That would ruin both of her and the school's name drastically. She slowly knocked the door, waiting for any voice.
"Come in." Sounds like Gemini-sensei. She gulped before she came in, looking at Gemini-sensei who's taking care of a lot documents.
"Did I do something wrong again?" Erza asked, uncertain. Gemini-sensei stopped his activity and looked at Erza seriously, "Far from that."
"T-Then?" Erza asked and Gemini-sensei shows all her exams. "You got all A on the exams after making Jellal tutored you." He explained and Erza nodded slowly, still confused. "So we'll change your class."
Erza's eyes opened wide, "Wait, if I get a perfect score, why would I-"
"We would change your class to S-Class." This surprised Erza even more.
"I'm sorry, I think I heard it wrong." She answered and Gemini-sensei looked at her once more time, "I said, we would like to change your class into S class." He repeated, but Erza still can't believe what she just heard.
"From tomorrow onwards, you'll change into S-Class. We will take care of the class change today." Gemini-sensei explained as she gave Erza a list. "That's a list of the S Class students, you might need to take a look of it since I'm pretty sure you never met anyone from S class other than Jellal."
"Thank you very much, Gemini-sensei!" Erza is literally on heaven. Rumor said that S Class is on a whole different level even from A Class. All the facility and treatment too, so it's everyone's dream to go in.
"We'll make Jellal accompany you and help you of getting used to your new class." Gemini-sensei explained and Erza nodded in reply. Guess I'm on a lot of debt to him.
"S-CLASS?! SERIOUSLY?!" Lucy almost broke the window because of her screaming. Erza covered her ears, "Calm down a bit, Lucy."
"How can I?! It's a miracle! NO ONE ever gotten to move to S Class. I repeat, NO ONE." Lucy squealed, "I'm so happy for you, Erza!" She hugged her tightly, Erza thought she would die from lack of breathing.
"Congrats. I heard the details from the vice-principal." A blue haired guy with a read mark in his left eye offered his hand, which Erza gladly accept, "Thanks." She smiled.
"We'll be on the same class, then." He smiled back.
Lucy stared at both of them, mouth opened. Those two seems really match each other… She quickly shook her thinking, "Maybe just my imagination."
"Oi, Oi, I heard something about changing class actually. It's just my imagination right?" Gray asked as he joined the conversation. "That's one hell of a shout by the way, Lucy."
"I can't help it!" Lucy defensed, "It's an S Class we're talking about here!" She argued and she suddenly felt a shiver down her spine. There's something dark lurking on the blue haired girl that became a captain of a swimming club.
"What method now, Love Rival?" Juvia glared and Lucy quickly went away from here on a radius of 2 meters. "I told you billion times, I'm not!"
"Hey Erza! I heard you're changing class?! WHY?!" Natsu quickly shouted as he jump to the conversation. Lucy frowned, "You bring Happy to school?!"
"Pets are not allowed here!" Erza glared, "I-I got the permission from Gramps!" Natsu quickly covered himself behind Lucy's back. "I'm a shield now?" She sighed.
Anyway as the day passed by, Erza just can't help but looking forward to see what kind of Class she'll be moved into.
Today's the day. She finally could attend the S Class. Erza took a deep breath as she walked towards the school gate.
Great. Everybody's staring.
I mean, who wouldn't? S Class only had 5 people in it! And it's the most students this year for generations since it's really limited. Now you're telling that someone from A Class easily went up into S Class after a few weeks of changes?
"Hey." Erza quickly turned around and see the handso- I mean, Jellal greeted her.
"Morning." She greeted and Jellal smiled, "Morning."
Ba-Thump! Erza swore she saw that smile before. She quickly shook her thinking.
"Shall we go? The S Class path is different from usual classes." Jellal pointed at another narrow way.
She nodded and went with Jellal, the class are so grand. There's a gold sign with a letter S Class showed grandly. Jellal opened the door, and there's a white-haired girl with her bangs tied up, put two cups on the table. "Ah, there it is." She smiled as she welcomed both of them
"Wait, I saw your face before… Mirajane Strauss?!" Erza gasped as she looked at Mirajane completely, "A real one?!"
The silver haired smile as she let Erza sit on one of the sofa, "I prepared extra one for you." She explained and pour down the tea, "I hope you like Darjeeling Tea."
"T-Tea?" Erza asked to Jellal who sat next to her. He nodded, "Apparently, the teachers only came on exam times, so the rest of the time is up to us. But make sure you at least study a little so your grades won't drop." He warned and Erza gave a look of what-the-hell to Jellal who chuckled.
This is more like a free café than a class.
"As the rumor said, we're a special class." He explained and truthfully, everything is still new to Erza and she doesn't feel she'll get used easily on this class.
It's way out of normal.
"So the rumored girl is here?" A deep voice welcomed her, making her jolted in surprise.
"Uhm…. You're?" She asked as she looked at the blonde haired guy with a lot of scars and wearing a black jacket. "Name's Laxus. And you're quite the catcher, huh?" He smirked.
"Laxus, don't even try." Jellal warned as he looked at the blonde guy. Laxus raise his hand in surrender, "Won't want you to break my arms."
Jellal sighed as Erza doesn't get a clue at all. Lucky you, Jellal.
"So this is a girl my Jelly wanted to tutor, huh?" A purple haired girl with a… Red lipstick? Teased as she just opened the door of the class. "Yo, Jelly. Glad you're back. Thought you won't come back here anymore." She smirked.
"I told you beforehand Ultear, I'll be back." Jellal answered, he realized this would happen.
"Wow! She has a beautiful hair…" Suddenly, a pink haired girl with a ponytail popped from somewhere and touched Erza's hair, which makes her jumped in surprise.
"U-Uhm…"
"Huh? Oh sorry, we haven't introduced ourselves yet right?" She smiled, "My name is Meredy. That girl over there is Ultear, we are Jelly's childhood and best friends." She explained.
"Jelly?" Erza asked in confuse and Meredy grinned as she pointed at the blue-haired guy, "You mean Jellal?" She nodded.
"You know I hate that nickname." Jellal groaned and Meredy giggled, "The more reason we called you that."
Erza smiled, they don't seems like a nerd or anything Erza thought. And what's more, Mirajane is here! Lucy will surely die if she saw her. She bought Sorcerer Weekly just to follow the famous model's fashion, Mirajane Strauss. Although to be honest, Erza wasn't really a big fan or anything. She just found her pretty and amazing for a high school student.
"Anyway, Erza right? Are you free today?" Meredy asked and Erza tried to remember her schedule.
"I have a part time today…" She answered and Ultear walked towards her direction, "Which shop?" She asked.
"At the Magnolia Bakery near the statio- Wait- why are you asking me that?" She asked.
"You became a waitress in there?" Jellal asked and Erza nodded, "Yeah, why?" She asked and Jellal looked away.
"I heard the uniform in there are revealing."
Erza blinked a few times to understand and chuckled, "Is that bothering to you? Well, the boss let me to wear something different though." She explained.
"What is this?" Ultear smirked, "You're worried about your girl, Jelly?" She teased and Jellal sighed, "Ultear, don't even start…"
"Anyway, it's Magnolia Bakery right? Lucky then, I have the phone number." Ultear opened her phone, "Sorry, can I talk with your boss? This is Ultear Milkovich from Fairy High's S Class."
"Oh, Ultear! What's wrong?"
"Actually, I want to talk about one of your waitress, Erza."
"Oh, Erza! The one with a scarlet hair? She's a hardworking one and helped a lot in the shop."
"Oh yes! She's the one. So actually, I want to take her go shopping with me and Meredy, but she rejected because of her part time job… Can she take a day off today?"
"Of course she can! Told her I won't cut her salary so she can just enjoy her time. She even came over during holiday so I kind of worried sometimes if she don't have time to go out like young people do."
"Okay then. Thank you so much, Yajima-san!"
"Your very welcome, Milkovich-san."
Ultear closed her phone and gave a peace sign, "I got the permission." She smirked. Luckily her mother, Ur Milkovich, know the boss at the bakery, Yajima.
"Wait, for what?" Erza asked and Ultear smile sweetly to the red head, "For you to come with us.
"Erza, this looks so good in you!" Lucy exclaimed as she gave her a girly dress with a frilly accessories here and there.
"Lucy… This is too girly for my suit… I think it suits you more." Erza refused and Lucy looked at the dress, "Really? I'm pretty sure this is really good for you…"
Okay, so a little explanation, it seems that Ultear and Meredy invited Lucy since she's Erza's close friend. Lucy seems pretty happy so she quickly accept, which makes Erza can't refuse to go out with them. Him Fairy High, you can go out during lunch but had to make sure to come back before the bell or the gate will be closed.
"Hey Erza, just wondering, have you met Jellal before?" Meredy asked silently and Erza raise an eyebrow of confuse.
"I just knew him when the principal introduced him, why?" Erza asked and Meredy smile, "Nothing!"
"Huh, Luigi?" That sound so familiar to Lucy's liking. She turned around and saw Natsu with Jellal while waving to them.
"Natsu? Why are you with Jellal?" Lucy asked and Natsu grinned, "I'm accompanying Jellal to buy a new jacket since his old one is all rusty."
"Because of you and Gray that is." Jellal continued, which makes Lucy glare at Natsu, "Ahahaha…."
"Jacket? I think I saw a male's jacket on that direction." Erza pointed her finger towards her right, "Huh? Where?" Natsu asked as he looks around.
"You should show them the place, Erza." Lucy suggested and Erza looked at the blonde haired girl, "Well, I don't mind. You guys can go to the cashier without me first then." She smiled.
"Okay~ Natsu, you come with us." Natsu get dragged by Ultear, "H-Hold on! I should be assisting Jellal!" Natsu complained but Ultear glared which silenced him, "There's no one to hold our shopping bags."
"A-Aye sir!" Natsu quickly answered and Ultear smile, "Good."
"…. Did I say something I shouldn't?" Erza asked, kind of feel bad to Natsu. "No, it's Ultear's fault." Jellal answered.
He knew it.
"Is this all your items?" The cashier asked and Ultear nodded. "The total is $130.00."
Ultear gave the cashier the money, "Keep the change." She said.
"Wait, what about my clothes?" Lucy asked and Ultear smiled, "I paid for you. As a thanks for going with us." She winked while Lucy is still clueless of what have she done.
"T-Thank you I guess…"
"Well then, we gotta go. Mira is waiting for our report. I'm pretty sure she'll make them in the top of her list." Ultear told Meredy and bid farewell to Lucy, "Nice shopping with you, Lucy." She smiled and walk away from that shop.
…. Now what will both Natsu and Lucy go?
"I think it suits you somehow." Erza smiled as she gave him the black hoodie. "You sure?" He asked as he gave the money to the cashier and she nodded.
"Where will you go now?" Jellal knew Erza was left behind. Although it seems that she pretend she doesn't realize it since she won't want Jellal felt bad about that.
She is really stubborn.
"I know a good café around the school, we still have 20 minutes left until the bell so… Wanna go?" Jellal asked and Erza give a slight nod of agreement.
"Let's go then."
"Hey tabasco-freak, where is Jellal?" Gray asked as he saw Natsu went back with Lucy, "And how in the hell Jellal turned into Lucy?"
"We kinda get separated." Lucy reasoned, and Gray smirked at Natsu, "Making a move huh?"
Natsu looked innocently, "Move what? The table?" He asked and Gray sighed, "No use teasing him."
"Anyway, aren't you going with Erza earlier?" Gray aske and Lucy nod, "But Erza is with Jellal now." She explained, "And you guys still don't know what that means?" He asked and both Lucy and Natsu shook their head. Gray raise his hand in surrender.
"You guys are really stupid…."
"Hey!"
"I don't know there's a place like this! The strawberry cake is really good!" Erza exclaimed as she took another bite of the cake.
"So you like strawberry cakes?" Jellal asked while smiling and Erza blush a bit in embarrassment, "Well I know it's a bit girly for me…"
He smiled, "I think it's not though." He explained and Erza smile at the comment.
He is a gentleman.
"The bill is $34.00 for all of the orders." The waitress said as she put the bill on the table. Erza gave $40.00 and quickly stand up from his seat. "The bell is going to rang for like 5 minutes again." Jellal explained and Erza quickly opened the wallet.
"Ah, it's my treat so you don't have to worry about that." Erza frowned, she stand up and gave Jellal 20 bucks. "I'll still pay mine." She explained and walked towards the door.
Jellal looked at his hand and blinked a few time before smile a little without realizing,
"She's really is something."
"So it's a big progress?" Mira squealed as Ultear smirked, "Seems like Jellal realized our plans though."
"Well, he has been sharp since we were kids after all." Meredy agreed.
"I bet 20 bucks Mira will gave up after 2 weeks or mostly a month." Laxus exclaimed to the purple haired girl. "That's the longest one so far for Jellal and unknown girl like her."
"I bet 40 bucks Mira will put them on the top of the list." Ultear smirked and Laxus snorted, "You know how Jellal avoid love so much. He won't easily take a pretty girls and all like 'look at me! Look at me!' guy." He explained.
"You know how he offer himself to tutor the class rep from A Class, it surprised all of us!" Meredy recalled the memory.
"Jellal has been not interested on anything after all." Ultear agreed.
"So does that means they knew each other before?" Mira asked, partly of her aura is still full of excitement.
"But Erza said they haven't met before. I asked her when we go shopping on Heart Kreuz earlier." Meredy answered, which makes Mira a bit disappointed.
Suddenly, the door opened, revealing both the red haired and blue haired pair.
Mira squealing, Laxus confused, Ultear smirked, Meredy fan girling.
"D-Did we come on a bad time?" Erza asked and Jellal just walked in as usual.
"Leave them be." He sat on the sofa and look at Mira, "Mira, one tea."
"Coming." Mira smile and look at Erza, "Anything you want? We have a cake." She explained.
Erza blinked a few times, "I'll take one tea and a cake then." She answered and sat near Jellal.
"Is Mira a waitress or something?" Erza whispered to Jellal who drank the tea Mira poured, "It's her hobby, actually, it's kind of useful so leave her be." Jellal answered which makes Erza raise an eyebrow in confuse.
What kind of person has a hobby of serving others?
As all on the S Class are talking their hearts out, also Jellal taught Erza some part while she's studying, little did they know Ultear was watching and planning something on her head.
"Anything I know is this is going to be interesting." Ultear smirked.
Oh how she wants to see Jellal head-over-heels on someone.
